The devil is by your side

Chapter 180
The next day, as the man had planned.

The newspapers were full of news about the relationship between the daughter of the Lan family and the heir of the Imperial Group, and the accompanying picture was the scene of Long Yuchen personally putting the crown on Lan Ruoran in the school beauty contest.

"If so, should you explain to me what's going on?" When the boy threw the newspaper in front of the girl, the girl realized that the man had already planned everything and she was just a prisoner. A struggling bird in the cage, even if she escapes once, the man still has a trick waiting for her.

"I said before that the person I like is you, Luo Yi. This is all Long Yuchen's conspiracy. Please trust me and don't fall for his tricks." The girl said eagerly, grabbing the boy's hand.

"But even the date of your engagement has been written on it. If so, maybe it's not just Long Yuchen's conspiracy at all. Your family must know about it." There was a wry smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, A trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes.

"That's right, compared to the heir of the Imperial Group, how can I, a penniless boy, be able to get into the eyes of the head of the Lan family."

"That's not the case! Luo Yi, how can you say that? Even if it was planned by parents and Long Yuchen, as long as I don't agree, its existence is meaningless. No one in this world can force me to do it." Things I don't want to do! Long Yuchen can't, neither can my parents, I belong to myself, and I have the right to make decisions for myself!"

After the girl finished speaking, she took a few steps back and stood still, looking straight at the boy: "Luo Yi, I'll go back and make it clear to my parents that the person I love is you, and I won't be engaged to Long Yuchen, please Believe me!"

After speaking, the girl turned and ran out.

Back at Lan's house, the girl's complexion was very bad.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked into the living room, she found that the culprit was sitting on the sofa in her living room and was discussing something with her parents.

I saw the girl came back.

Madam Lan waved to her with a loving smile on her face.

"Ruoran, are you back?" Madam Lan called Lan Ruoran over.

"It's just in time for you to come back. Master Long also came. We are discussing about your engagement. The engagement banquet of Pearl in the palm of our Lan family must be held in such a beautiful way that everyone is envious."

Lan Ruoran walked up to her mother, and just about to speak, she was forced to sit beside the man by her mother.

"Hey, husband, look, how well the two of them are together!" Madam Lan said with a smile.

When Mr. Lan heard Mrs. Lan's words, he also nodded in agreement, and his usually serious face softened, "Yu Chen, if so, please take care of me in the future."

Mr. Lan looked at Long Yuchen with admiring eyes.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Ruoran, so that she won't suffer any grievances." The man put his arm around the girl's shoulders and assured her earnestly.

"Let go!" Unlike the others who were full of joy, the girl suddenly said coldly.

"Uh, Ruoran, what's wrong with you?" Madam Lan was taken aback.

The girl stood up suddenly, looked directly at her parents, and said to you word by word: "I refuse, I don't agree to be engaged to Long Yuchen."

"What?!" Mrs. Lan was taken aback, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Aren't you two childhood sweethearts since you were young? Why do you have to change your mind when things come to an end?"

"If so, stop messing around and apologize to Yu Chen." Mr. Lan said, staring at the girl seriously.

"Mom and Dad, I'm not messing around, and I'm not talking nonsense. I said this to you after careful consideration." The girl clenched her fists and seriously persuaded her parents, "Long Yuchen and I did grow up together as childhood sweethearts. But this does not mean that my feelings for him are love. I have always regarded him as an older brother, and I already have someone I like, and I want to be with the person I like! Very I'm sorry, I can't accept your decision, so no matter what agreement you made before, please cancel it, because I will not approve or agree!"

"The person you like? You mean that Luo Yi?" After hearing what the girl said, Mr. Lan's face turned completely dark.

"That's right, the person I like, the only person I love is Luo Yi, and I won't like anyone except him! Mom and Dad, please help us, don't force me to get engaged to someone I don't love !"

"Ruoran!" Mrs. Lan stared at Lan Ruoran, sweating profusely on her forehead, she looked at Long Yuchen with apologetic eyes, "Yuchen, if Ruoran, don't forget to take it to heart, we will have a good time Advise her."

"Mom, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind."

"Crack" Mr. Lan slapped the table, got up, breathed heavily, and asked loudly: "Your mind is made up? You don't even know who the other party is, so you dare to tell us that you have made up your mind and want to be with him? Let me tell you, as long as you are the daughter of the Lan family, I will never let you be with that kid! You are shameless, but our Lan family still needs face. , you insist on being with an illegitimate child who is not recognized by the family, are you trying to piss me and your mother to death?!"

"What illegitimate child? What is not recognized by the family, Dad, I don't know what you are talking about!" The girl frowned.

"Husband, don't be angry, be careful if you get angry, your blood pressure is high." Mrs. Lan hurriedly comforted Mr. Lan, then turned her head and said to the girl: "If so, let me tell you about it. "

After Mr. Lan's mood gradually calmed down, Mrs. Lan said to Lan Ruoran earnestly: "Actually, your father and I knew that you secretly fell in love at school. We are afraid that you are innocent and kind, and you have never been in love. Don't be fooled, so I secretly sent someone to investigate the young man, only to be surprised to find that he is the illegitimate son of the head of the Tang family, an American financial giant. Mr. Tang's eldest son is about the same age as your father, but this illegitimate son is still No, it can be said to be an out-and-out scandal. The Tang family has been trying their best to obliterate his existence. He is not allowed to go to the United States, and his surname can only be his mother's surname. You have no future with him , as your parents, we cannot just stand by and watch you go astray and ruin your future life."

After hearing Mrs. Lan's words, the girl was stunned. She never thought that behind the young man's strong and optimistic face was such a heavy life experience.

It's a pity that Mrs. Lan's words did not dispel her desire to be with the boy, but instead strengthened her determination to resist to the end.

"I don't care, no matter who Luo Yi is, he will always be my Luo Yi, the person I love the most!"

"You girl, why are you so obsessed with it!" Mrs. Lan looked at Lan Ruoran's determination after eating the weight, and was so angry that she clutched her chest, she didn't know how to persuade her.

"Hmph! Since you are so obsessed with obsession, then don't blame us for not being sympathetic! Butler, take the lady back to the room and take good care of her. The school will ask for leave for her. She only knows to hang out with that illegitimate child all day long. I think this There is nothing to go to school." Mr. Lan said angrily.

"Yes, master." The butler took the order, walked up to the girl, and said to the girl, "Miss, please."

"Father, you can't treat me like this. Are you going to put me under house arrest? I want to go back to school, I don't want to stay at home!" The girl struggled.

"You can go back to school if you want to. When you figure it out and get engaged to Yu Chen, I will allow you to go to school again. Otherwise, you can stay at home and wait for the engagement ceremony!" Mr. Lan said coldly said.

After speaking, he turned his back and refused to look at the girl again.

Seeing her father's resolute back, the girl felt her heart go cold.

"Father, do you really care about the relationship between father and daughter? I said that the person I like is Luo Yi, and I would never like someone else. Even if you keep me locked up forever, my answer is Same, I will not accept your arranged marriage!"

After speaking, the girl was forcibly sent back to her room by the housekeeper and the maid and locked up.

"I'm sorry, Yu Chen, I let you see a joke." Madam Lan's face was pale, and she looked at Long Yuchen embarrassedly.

The man's eyes kept looking at the girl's slender but stubborn back until her figure disappeared at the stairs.

"No, ma'am, I think Ruoran will figure it out. I know you guys don't want to see her ruin her life with that illegitimate child. I have liked Ruoran since I was a child, and I want to take good care of her for the rest of my life, so I won't either. Seeing that she ruined her own life because of that illegitimate child, don't worry, my heart is the same as yours." The man showed a comforting smile to Mrs. Lan, and said thoughtfully: "I think if I can figure it out, Even if she can't figure it out now, she will figure it out naturally after the engagement ceremony is held and the rice is cooked."

After speaking, the man got up to say goodbye and left the Lan's house.

The plan has been preliminarily achieved, and everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, and he believes that this shareholder wind will come soon.

The girl was forcibly locked up by her father, and she was in a terrible mood. In order to fight against her father, she chose to go on a hunger strike.

For three days, the girl hadn't had a drop of water, and she looked extremely haggard, and the entire Lan family was enveloped in a gloomy and tense atmosphere. Mr. Lan's face was ashen all day long, and Mrs. Lan's face was washed with tears every day.

The girl silently fought coldly with her parents, Mr. Lan refused to retreat, and Mrs. Lan couldn't speak. Everyone could only watch the girl haggard day by day.

"Miss, please eat something. These are the things you usually like to eat. You haven't eaten for three days. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it." Willing to eat, not even talking, just lying quietly on the bed waiting to die.

Hearing the voice of the old servant who took care of her since she was a child, the girl reluctantly opened her eyes, staring at the old servant with her dark eyes, and with all her strength, she grabbed the old servant's wrist and begged in a weak voice : "Mother Zhang, I beg you, please let me go, okay, I haven't seen Luo Yi for three days, before I came back, I promised him to make it clear to my father and give him an explanation, now I've already I haven't gone back for three days, he will definitely misunderstand me, no, I want to go back, I want to go back to him."
