Chapter Thirty-Four: Conflict and Gift-Giving

  In front of so many people, Bao Jia also didn't want to explain, and glanced at Mu Tian Nan with a slanted eye, saying: "Who are you, do our affairs need your management?"

  "Tsk, tsk, you're not gentle enough, Miss Qin. No wonder your fiancé is about to be snatched away." Mu Tian Nan shook his head, with an expression that said "I'm only saying this for your own good", which was really infuriating.

  A small spark flashed in Lin Luoran's eyes. This man was too despicable, obviously trying to sow discord between the sisters and turn them against each other. His heart was detestable!

  Not to mention that she and Liu Zhen had nothing to do with each other, even if they really moved their hearts, after knowing that he was Baojia's fiancé, how could she have any other thoughts?

  Seeing Tian Nan Yue say more and more unbearable things, Liu Zhen's face didn't change, his eyes were also well blocked by his glasses, only the slightly furrowed eyebrows revealed his emotions.

  "What's everyone gathering around for? Disperse, it's not working hours yet." Liu Zhen's words carried weight in the company, and with just two sentences, he dispersed the crowd of reluctant onlookers. Only Liu Mei cast a worried glance at Lin Luo Ran before leaving.

  It was something she had brought upon herself, yet it would drag her friends into being assigned tasks, and Lin Luoran's thoughts of getting a share of the profits were cast aside by her. It could be said that she was quite displeased with this young master Shu's way of doing things.

  "What's wrong, you want to go back and participate?" Lin Luo Ran stood on the steps, with a somewhat condescending tone.

  Mu Tian Nan sneered: "It's not about going back, it's about chasing after the stolen goods. That rare seed was clearly taken from my store by you, a little thief."

  Lin Luoran sneered, "Although I don't know what you want to do with those broken seeds, even if that's your company, I was openly and fairly asking the salesperson for a small sample. No matter how much you exaggerate, it's still my reason!"

  She saw that Mu Tian Nan's face still had a trace of discontent, and suddenly smiled: "A few broken melon seeds, I had already casually thrown them away, you won't be able to find them again, what can be done about it?"

  Lin Luoran thought that her job, which was beneficial for her cultivation, would probably be lost because of Mo Tian Nan's actions. The guilt she originally felt had turned into schadenfreude, and she couldn't help but mock Mo Tian Nan a little.

  Baojia and Liu Zha didn't know what kind of grudge Lin Luoran had with this man, actually even Lin Luoran himself didn't know why he, a mundane person, would take several spirit-filled lotus seeds and entwine them around his own body in such a way that was beyond comprehension.

  Mù Tiān Nán saw her smiling with narrowed eyes, and also heard that the seeds were gone. Regardless of whether this news was true or false, his anger at being slapped in the face was like Typhoon No. 7 landing on Taiwan, raging unimpeded.

  Mo Tian Nan stared at Lin Luo Ran with all his might, let out a cold hum, turned around and returned to the car, didn't say a word, and actually left like that.

  This move was beyond Lin Luoran's expectation, but it was Liu Zhen who pushed his glasses and said nonchalantly: "My engagement with Baojia hasn't been made public, apart from my family, only people of Baojia's grandfather's level know about it."

  Bao Jia also looked at Lin Luo Ran with a worried expression, not knowing how to start explaining.

  Lin Luoran suddenly reacted, could it be that Liu Zhen was reminding her that very few people knew about his engagement to Baojia, and they all had a lot of background. In other words, the surname Mo who could investigate these relationships so quickly, wasn't he even more powerful?

  It seems that I have inadvertently offended another powerful enemy... Thinking of the "kill order" issued by Aili, which has not been resolved yet, Lin Luoran feels that she has been very unlucky recently.

  But at this point, regret is useless. Lin Luo Ran smiled bitterly and said to Bao Jia: "The seed I got indeed has some connection with the surname Muo, but now it's really impossible to return it to him, so this conflict is unavoidable."

  Bao Jia patted her shoulder: "I still don't know you? Where is the intentional greedy person who can take advantage of others, don't worry, we are here!"

  Although she knew that she might have to confront a powerful force, Bao Jia still stood by her side without hesitation. It would be a lie to say that Lin Luo Ran was not moved. Her eyes were slightly moist as she was about to make a joke to lighten the mood, but then she saw Bao Jia hesitate and say:

  "Hey, just because I'm engaged to Liu Zhen doesn't mean it's that kind of relationship, don't get the wrong idea..."

  Lin Luo Ran's words were like a black line, what was meant by "don't misunderstand yourself", this sentence explained that people would think she really wanted to steal love.

  As expected, Liu Zhen is promoting glasses frames again.

  "I still have something on, I'll leave first." After saying that, for the first time, he very ungraciously threw down Lin Luoran and Baojia, and left by himself.

  Lin Luo Ran and Bao Jia exchanged a glance, couldn't help but burst out laughing, dissipating some of the previous gloomy atmosphere.

  Liu Zhaobei carried a person on his back. In the eyes under his glasses, there was also a hint of a smile, but it's unclear what he was happy about.

  ……

  Lin Luoran still hadn't quit her job at Zhen Bao Xuan, although the clerks often whispered to each other, making even someone as calm as her feel a lot of pressure. But on this earth, unless she could hide in a remote mountain or by a vast lake, Lin Luoran really couldn't find a better place than selling jade stones to cultivate herself.

  It was very strange that after the surname Mu disappeared with two cold hums that day, Lin Luo Ran had been worried that he would make a ruthless move, but these days there has been no movement, making Lin Luo Ran gradually relax his vigilance.

  It's not that she is careless, but rather she has had too many things on her mind lately.

  Because of Lin Luo Ran's outstanding performance, Manager Zhou took the initiative to promote her in advance, which means she now has the qualification to sell jewelry and jade independently, and will receive a commission for each sale. Of course, rumors say that it's because she shamelessly flirted with the young boss that she got this treatment.

  This way, she would spend more energy during the day, and on top of that, she had to go to the park for tai chi in the morning, accompany Xiao Zhengtao after work, rush to practice at night, and also find time to check out R City's latest new buildings. Lin Luoran's schedule was packed tighter than ever.

  In this case, let alone worrying about Mu Rou's revenge, even Lin Luo's space, after she had opened up the existing land and planted some practical medicinal materials and vegetables, there was not much time to take care of it.

  The space now only has the outermost circle left, with a piece of native grassland. Lin Luo Ran placed a woven mat made of green grass to pile up the harvested vegetables. Also, because there was too much harvest, many were given to Bao Jia and Wang Jie.

  The small spring is still clear, the small tree and it are born with water, it's hard to say whether the land is more important for the pharmacy or the vegetable garden, various medicinal herbs and vegetables do not interfere with each other, growing quietly on their own.

  Lin Luoran held a wooden box lined with red silk, hesitating over which ginseng plant to pull out.

  The little ginsengs have been settled in space for almost two months, which is equivalent to more than 50 years. In Lin Luo Ran's impression, only those over 100 years old are considered old ginseng. Who knew that when she went to the pharmacy a few days ago, the current hundred-year-old wild ginseng was ridiculously expensive and not easy to buy genuine ones. It seems that even 50-year-olds can be given away now.

  Lin Luoran's Tai Chi teacher, Mr. Jia, was going to receive a ginseng plant she had cultivated herself as a gift for her mentor, which cost around 50 yuan, not very expensive but not cheap either.

  Ginseng emphasizes the integrity of its appearance, and Lin Luo Ran still knows this. Carefully digging up a small ginseng plant with its roots intact made Lin Luo Ran very satisfied. She was afraid that if she carelessly processed it, she would lose the medicinal properties of the ginseng, so she simply put it in the brocade box as is.

  It just so happened that Wang Miao came to find her again, which made Lin Luoran even more headache. She remembered that the gift she was supposed to prepare wasn't just one.
