Chapter 364: Chapter 360: Please Act with Me

Wen Ran raised her hand, patting the swaddling clothes hanging on her chest, and concisely said, "Lead the way!"

The old lady glanced at Wen Ran, "Alright!"

On the way, Wen Ran and the old lady exchanged basic information.

The old lady, who had originally been worried, instantly lit up upon learning they were university students coming to Capital City for college.

Wen Ran: "?"

What’s up, does this little old lady have an admiration for education?

Ha!

Little old lady, you absolutely have no idea about our real abilities.

Since you want to admire, then admire to your heart’s content.

As Wen Ran spoke about the group, four university students, the old lady was already red with excitement.

Her eyes were almost like 2,000-watt light bulbs.

Don’t ask.

If you ask, the answer is passionate radiance.

"Good, good, good!"

The old lady’s tone even carried some pleading, "Could you let me take a look at your admission letters?"

Wen Ran also understood this feeling, wanting to admire!

Okay, I’ll satisfy you!

She’s just that domineering and indulgent.

Don’t ask about her mental state; if you ask, the answer is she’s gotten an iron bottom and a watery head from riding the train, and she’s infinitely close to madness.

Don’t expect a woman on the brink of madness to do anything reliable.

Mrs. Xiao immediately bent over to rummage through things, and the old lady flipped through four admission letters one by one.

Then she decided not to go home yet.

Instead, they would eat first!

Fill up their stomachs so they could discuss matters.

Wen Ran hesitated between sleeping and eating but decided to eat.

She realized that the old lady had something on her mind, guessing that she thought a meal would facilitate discussions.

After asking where they were from, the old lady swiftly led them to a northeastern cuisine restaurant.

The taste was authentic, but the portion was not authentic.

A typical northeastern dish could be divided into ten portions at the Capital City’s northeastern restaurant.

The group originally didn’t feel very hungry, but when the dishes arrived, it was like they suddenly awakened a god-given talent—feeling ravenously hungry!

Looking at the portion, Wen Ran only hesitated for a second before decisively asking, "Hello, are all the portions here like this?"

"Yes, indeed."

"Alright," Wen Ran asked courteously and seriously, "Since that’s the case, could we order three more sets of the dishes we just ordered?"

The opposite party: "???"

The smile on her face suddenly turned confused.

What, what do you mean?

"Yes," Wen Ran said seriously, "We’ve just gotten off the train and are starving."

A bit worried that they might think she would dine and dash, Wen Ran simply pulled out a stack of cash, "Serve the dishes!"

"Don’t worry, ma’am," the young girl smiled slightly, "The group is brought by Grandma Bai, we trust in their character.

Please wait while the kitchen is expediting your order."

"Alright!"

While waiting for the food, everyone was sizing each other up.

Eventually, it was the old lady who spoke first, "My surname is Bai, Bai Zhenzhu, you can call me Grandma Bai."

After that, Grandma Bai pointed to Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, "As for the two of you, just call me Aunt Bai."

"Okay."

Wen Ran was straightforward too, "My surname is Wen, with the single name Ran."

She introduced one by one, "These are my in-laws, Xiao Tiezhu and Song Shilan. My husband, Xiao Chenye, and my sister-in-law Xiao Chenxing.

My sister Hongguo," reaching Shen Yueyue, facing her hopeful gaze, Wen Ran: "...This is my other sister, Shen Yueyue."

Shen Yueyue: "~"

Silently straightened her chest, yes!

That’s how you should introduce me.

Grandma Bai nodded, but her gaze was on Wen Ran’s chest, "And this is..."

"Oh," Wen Ran casually said, "My twins, this one is Xiao Bao, the one my mother-in-law is holding is Da Bao."

"Their names?"

Wen Ran: "..."

Poor thing, everyone has their own opinions on naming the twins, and for now, it’s really hard to convince each other.

So it has been at a standstill.

Later, the whole family moved to Capital City, busy as if chased by dogs. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Naturally, they didn’t focus their energy on the babies.

No way, they’ve been so busy they fall asleep as soon as they lie down.

Names?

What names?

Just tending to this brother and sister pair every day with food, drink, and care is already an act of great love.

"Haven’t decided on names yet," Wen Ran said calmly, "for now, we’ll just call them Da Bao and Xiao Bao."

Of course, this is just a nickname; it could never be used as an official name. Otherwise, when the children grow up, they’ll surely be mocked.

They are the treasures of the Xiao family and Wen Ran, not anyone else’s.

Grandma Bai was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I want to take you all to a place that is my home."

The hardest sentence out, the rest was not so hard to express.

The story is old-fashioned.

Grandma Bai and her husband didn’t have children throughout their lives, so with no heirs, their inheritance attracted wolves and tigers, eyeing it eagerly.

Bai Zhenzhu had been coping with this for several years, previously able to barely appease, but now, as they aged, those people became more rampant.

She didn’t want her home to end up in someone else’s hands, nor could she openly tear faces off, only to come out seeking a way to survive.

By chance, the stars aligned for Bai Zhenzhen to find Wen Ran and the others on the brink of collapse and explosion on the road.

As fate’s gears turned, they were simply impossible to stop!

The topic returned.

Bai Zhenzhu’s husband’s nephew from their hometown had sent a letter a while ago, saying that after spring planting, he would come over to accompany the elderly.

But the elderly couple knew in their hearts, this visit had a sinister purpose.

The aim was not companionship but the house.

"To put it simply," Bai Zhenzhu smiled bitterly, "my husband Yu and I don’t have children, and after we die, all this property will inevitably be inherited by these younger generations, I just feel a bit disheartened."

Disheartened by their impatience in calculating the estate, those shameless faces, extremely abhorrent.

Wen Ran expressed understanding and sympathy.

Actually, people, to put it bluntly, are just like this.

The inferiority is there; when you have a huge treasure, you’re bound to think about it constantly.

But at this time, the treasure has an owner.

To gain it, what can people do?

They could kill and seize the treasure.

And Bai Zhenzhu’s elderly relatives and nephews, they might be contemplating some little accident here, prematurely sending the couple away, allowing them to legitimately inherit, it’s hard to say.

Wen Ran thought for a moment, "What do you want me to do?"

"Pretend," Bai Zhenzhu said seriously, "Pretend to be descendants from my sister’s side, I’ll provide a house, and give you fifty bucks a month to help me perform this act."

Wen Ran: "..."

Things of heaven-sent pies, she never believes.

But, this is something Wen Ran gains through charm, why shouldn’t she believe it?

Hehehe!

Agree, then agree, what is there to fear?

Finding a place to settle down first is the best choice!
