Chapter 1784: A changed life
When he looked up, he saw that it was Chen Shuming.
"Hi." Lin Ran was a little embarrassed. Previously, at Mr. Song's birthday party, her boyfriend was unable to leave the stage.
Chen Shuming looked very natural, sat down next to him, and told Lin Ran that they had broken up.
"I want to apologize for what happened before." Chen Shuming said seriously, blinking at Lin Ran with his big watery eyes.
"Xiao Ming, what have you done to offend Brother Lin?" Chen Cheng put down the knife and fork in his hand after hearing this. He really didn't know what the feud was between the two young men.
Chen Shuming did make a naughty face: "It's nothing."
"Hmph, you are a brat, so don't cause trouble to Brother Lin." Chen Cheng saw the way the two of them were talking and had an idea in his mind.
If Lin Ran could become his niece-in-law, he could always ask him for help in the future.
However, Chen Shuming did not dare to think so, especially after meeting Yuan Qianyun.
Now he just regards Lin Ran as his senior and asks him a lot about antiques and treasure appraisal.
"Speaking of which, a strange thing happened in Leo in the museum recently." After Chen Shuming drank the red wine, he finally remembered an interesting topic.
The museum she refers to naturally refers to the National Museum.
"The deputy director of our Cultural Relics Restoration Department has resigned, and her office is idle. But every night, strange noises can be heard inside. The security guards go in to check, but they can't see anything." Chen Shuming deliberately used a kind of He said in a gloomy tone, seeming to heighten the atmosphere.
"What? Xu Mingwei resigned. When?" Lin Ran asked in shock.
"Do you know Director Xu?" Chen Shuming was even more surprised that Lin Ran's network of relationships was so complicated. You must know that Xu Mingwei was an extremely reclusive person and had few friends in the museum, yet he actually knew Lin Ran.
"Yes." Lin Ran nodded. He still had many things that he had not asked Xu Mingwei clearly.
Thinking about it carefully, I didn't see the fat man at Ma Zhen's house.
Both of them were heirs to the secret art of appraising treasures. They disappeared at the same time, and Lin Ran suddenly felt uneasy.
As his social status gets higher and higher, he feels more and more that the Treasure Hunt Club and the Qilin Club are not simple.
Something must have happened!
I originally felt that I was finally free, but now, things seem to have become complicated again.
Chen Cheng also noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
It could be seen that Lin Ran's expression was a little unnatural.
Although the matter of the Treasure Hunt Club and the Kirin Club is difficult to resolve, it is not suitable to involve more people.
However, an idea flashed through Lin Ran's mind.
"Brother Chen, do you know the expert in the hematology department?"
"Hematologist? I don't know him, but I know the director of the Third Hospital. Their hospital's surgery department seems to be very strong." Chen Cheng asked hurriedly, "Did you mean it when you said you had health problems before? I thought you It’s just a shirk!”
Chen Cheng stood up immediately and said, "I'll take you for a checkup now."
"No need." Lin Ran replied with a smile, "It's not me, it's an old friend of mine."
In his memory, Lu Yingjie was suffering from leukemia, also known as blood cancer.
Although it is a terminal disease in a certain sense, not all leukemias are incurable. It seems that there are different types. If he sees an expert, he may be able to live longer through surgery.
Lu Yingjie may not care about life or death, but his granddaughter is still young. If her only relative passes away, she may become depressed.
Lin Ran told Chen Cheng about Lu Yingjie.
"Well, I heard that it costs a lot of money to treat this disease."
The amount was not small, and it was impossible for Chen Cheng to take the initiative to bear the expense. After all, he and Lu Yingjie were not related.
"As long as we can arrange an expert inspection, I will pay for it." Lin Ran said directly.
"Why do you want to help him?" Chen Cheng was puzzled.
"Because he taught me a lot, he can be regarded as my mentor." Recalling what happened in the ancient tomb, Lu Yingjie's notes saved him countless times. He wanted to help Lu Yingjie as much as possible, both emotionally and rationally.
There was no way before, but now that he had found a life-saving straw, Lin Ran wanted to give it a try no matter what.
Chen Cheng was very surprised after hearing this.
He didn't understand what a bad old man from a poor mountain village could teach Lin Ran, but even if he was a mentor who could spend huge sums of money to treat his illness, such people were rare in society.
This spirit really impressed him.
"Okay, I'm going to call and inquire now. You guys eat first." Chen Cheng put down his knife and fork and left the restaurant.
Chen Shuming also had an expression of admiration on his face: "Lin Ran, I can't tell, it's only been half a year since I last saw you, and you are completely different."
The last time I came here, Lin Ran was just known as Mr. Lin. In fact, it can be seen that his family background is not good.
At that time, Chen Shuming thought about inviting Lin Ran to join the National Museum, where he could at least get a staff member's salary.
However, when he saw the car he drove at the door, Chen Shuming suddenly realized that he was a little short-sighted.
Yuan Qianyun was truly discerning if he could follow Lin Ran when he was very poor, while she was just a worldly person who was obsessed with fame.
After figuring this out, she felt at ease.
"If the money is not enough, I can donate some." Chen Shuming said.
"Thank you very much, Miss Chen." Lin Ran smiled, but actually declined politely.
Guan Yun was playing with his knife and fork with his head sullenly. He still didn't understand how to eat steak, so he could only pick it up with a fork and stuff it into his mouth.
But at this moment, what made him even more depressed was.
"Mr. Lin is really good with women. He is accompanied by beautiful women wherever he goes, and they are so enthusiastic towards him."
After a long time, Chen Cheng returned to the restaurant.
"Dean Liu said that there are two experts on leukemia in their hospital. One is a surgeon who has returned from studying abroad, and the other is a child of a family of traditional Chinese medicine. They are both free in the afternoon. Mr. Lin, how about you Take Lu Yingjie to see you?"
Naturally, this matter was not easy to delay. Lin Ran stood up immediately and said, "Okay, Brother Chen, thank you very much."
"Wherever I can help, just tell me." Chen Cheng returned the gesture, admiring Lin Ran from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Ran took Guan Yun and left the Chen family.
Chen Shuming also put down his knife and fork, feeling empty inside.
As if he could see his niece's disappointment, Chen Cheng patted her shoulder: "Everything is possible before marriage. If you like it, just go for it."
"Uncle, what are you talking about."
