Chapter 27 (1/2)

Chapter 27 You are Going to Force Me Out?“Luoran, did you really memorize all the materials?” Looking at Lin Luoran, who seems to be preoccupied, Liu Mei asks with doubt.

After they know each other’s age, Liu Mei finally stops calling Lin Luoran “Linnie”. However, she still insists that Lin Luoran looks so young and the jealousy prevents her from calling Lin Luoran “big sister”.

Lin Luoran only comes to herself by now.

“Yeah, I’m almost done. I won’t lose customers anymore while watching the counter for you.” Lin Luoran makes a promise, smiling, which draws scorn from other sales girls.

Of course, the sensitive Lin Luoran discovers their motion. Nevertheless, she understands that when there are people who like you, there will be those who don’t, be it at work or in life. So there is no need to care about it.

It has been four days since Lin Luoran and Baojia saved that tortured handsome boy in the ally. His fever was gone yesterday and the wounds on his body and face were healing because Lin Luoran gave him some spring water in private to help him recover.

However, he is most severely injured in his abdomen. It is easy to infer from those shoeprints that someone kicked him deliberately in the abdomen. Internal injuries take time to heal, so he still needs to recuperate in the hospital.

In fact, Lin Luoran and Baojia have helped a lot by saving the boy and escorting him to the hospital. However, the doctors diagnosed him as autism, while the police failed to get even a clue of his ident.i.ty so they can’t locate his family. All of these make Lin Luoran and Baojia worried.

Every time the doctor gives the boy an injection, fear crawls all over his face. What’s worse, he turns a deaf ear to all the comforting words and just lives in his own world.

Only when Lin Luoran comes to see him and holds his hands, the young lad can stay calm and sweet. Although he never says a word, he refuses to let go of her hands unless Lin Luoran promises repeatedly that she will come again.

People have nothing to do in this situation. The policeman on the scene that day is responsible. He has been following this matter up and trying to persuade Lin Luoran to care more about the boy before the police find his family.

Despite that Baojia jokes that Lin Luoran is just like the young lad’s mother, Lin knows that Baojia is also worried, otherwise she will not come to the hospital on time with her every time—after all, they are the ones who saved the kid. If they don’t care about him, who else will?

Lin Luoran is worrying about the young lad, whose name is even a mystery to them by now, so she is kind of distracted at work. And this is why she was in a trance when Liu Mei asked her that question.

“Welcome.” Seeing a customer coming in, Liu Mei greets with a smile.

Lin Luoran comes to herself and raises her eyes. She is stunned. The woman is in her forties, a little black and chubby but wearing all the fancy clothes. It is Mrs. Cui, who insists that Lin Luoran and Baojia shall call her Sister w.a.n.g.

Since Sister w.a.n.g does jewelry business, there is no reason for her to buy jewelry in Treasure House. Noticing that Sister w.a.n.g is smiling at her, Lin Luoran reckons that she may come for her.

They have contacted each other several times since the stone gambling, but no more than daily greetings. Lin Luoran wonders what brings Sister w.a.n.g here today.

Although w.a.n.g Miao’e looks plain, she is super rich. Seeing Lin Luoran is on duty, she picks a ring randomly without looking at the price tag and asks Liu Mei to wrap it up. Then she turns to Liu Mei and says, “I want to talk to Miss Lin. Is it convenient?”

Looking at the ring w.a.n.g Miao’e picks, a one-carat diamond ring she failed to sell out days before, Liu Mei thinks, “My goodness. She spent 48,000 yuan in exchange for a talk with Lin Luoran, so luxurious!”

Certainly, Liu Mei agrees. She has earned a lot of bonuses this month, especially in recent days when Lin Luoran stands by the counter, who attracts some rich guys to hang around. Liu Mei has managed to sell several rings… Lin Luoran brings luck here, so there is no reason Liu Mei will say no!
