Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 266 The Female Supporting Characters in the Republic of China 11

Ji Lingruo, who had originally planned to return to Jing Mansion, changed her mind. She remembered her purpose of today, which was to meet Tan Shengnan.

It's around afternoon now, so it's still in time to go and meet him.

Arriving at the gate of Tan's house, Ji Lingruo knocked on the door.

Tan Shengnan, who was packing his things inside, was stunned and opened the door.

Seeing that it was an old friend whom she hadn't seen for many years, her nose felt sore and she hugged Ji Lingruo in her arms.

Tears burst out like a dam, and Tan Shengnan felt that the emotions he had been trying to hold on to were out of control in an instant.

Although her parents are gone, she still has good friends. Lingruo is so pitiful, she must help her, take her away from the tiger's den and wolf's lair, and let her see the outside world.

Feeling the wetness on her back, Ji Lingruo patted Tan Shengnan gently to comfort her.

She is still a little girl, and when she encounters a sudden change, she can’t adapt to it for a while.

"Have you been well these years?" Tan Shengnan finally let go of her and asked.

The letters her parents sent her always said that Ji Lingruo was doing well and that they would take good care of her, so even if she didn't hear from the original owner, Tan Shengnan just thought that Ji's father and mother were watching her closely and the original owner didn't have the chance to reply.

The items that Tan Shengnan asked someone to send back from abroad included small colored books, some books on science and democracy, the theory of evolution, etc., as well as some novelties made of colored glass. He thought his parents would pass them on to Ji Lingruo, but he didn't expect that his parents had passed away.

Those things were taken by my uncle, the books were thrown away, and the novel objects were left for the children in the family to play with.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. How about you? Is your study abroad going well?" Ji Lingruo wiped away Tan Shengnan's tears with a handkerchief.

"Well! There were some small setbacks, but you know! I always get first place in every exam, and those foreigners can't beat me!" Tan Shengnan raised his chin proudly.

"I sent your uncle and his family in jail. Do you blame me?" Ji Lingruo took a model of a famous foreign tourist attraction that Tan Shengnan gave her and played with it carefully.

Tan Shengnan shook her head. Her uncle was a scoundrel. When she was a child, her parents took her to her uncle’s house to play. Those children said in front of her that everything in the Tan family would be theirs in the future, and asked Tan Shengnan to please them now.

Of course, the result was heard by Tan's father and mother, whose faces immediately turned cold and they picked up Tan Shengnan. After that, the two families stopped having any contact.

Later, when her parents died, the housekeeper said that her uncle thought it was unlucky and was unwilling to collect the bodies of Tan's parents, and was going to throw them directly into a mass grave. It was the old housekeeper who collected and buried her parents.

"How are you doing in the Jing Mansion? I heard that the rules in those big mansions are the most complicated and very strict." After saying that, Tan Shengnan took out a few gold bars from his bag, "This is for you!"

She was afraid that Ji Lingruo didn't have enough money to manage the servants and the household supplies in the mansion.

The gold bar was pushed back. "Keep it for yourself. I have more money than you think."

Because of Jing Yunchuan, no one in the Jing Mansion dared to make trouble for her, so she was happy to have some free time. As for money, she had enough.

"Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" Ji Lingruo's voice was very gentle. She was always gentle when facing people she liked.

"I'm going to work as a reporter for the largest newspaper in Yuncheng."

"Walk."

"Where?"

Ji Lingruo didn't reply. She took Tan Shengnan's hand and they went to the newspaper office.

"Hey? Can I come in? I haven't had the interview yet?" Tan Shengnan was a little stunned.

Although she knew that she would definitely pass the interview and enter the newspaper, it was not the right time to do so now. Would she and Lingruo be kicked out?

He just walked in so confidently. Unlike what Tan Shengnan expected, when the people inside saw Ji Lingruo, they started calling him "boss" one by one.

"This is a gift for you. From now on, you will be the owner of this newspaper. Just do whatever you want."

There was a smile in Ji Lingruo's eyes.

Tan Shengnan opened her mouth slightly. Is she being kept by her rich best friend?

"Just do what you want."

Looking at the dumbfounded Tan Shengnan in front of him, Ji Lingruo curled her lips. But if nothing unexpected happened, Nie Qixuan would also come to Yuncheng. This time, she would not even think about kidnapping Tan Shengnan and taking him to the Nie family to waste time.

"Ruoruo, let's spend the New Year together! Stay at my house for dinner tonight!"

"Okay."

Today is New Year's Eve, and everywhere is dyed with a festive red.

Tan Shengnan felt that the haze in her heart had been dispelled a little, but the pain caused by her parents' death still existed.

But her parents, who loved her deeply, didn't want to see her immersed in pain and crying all the time.

She would avenge them.

After leaving the newspaper office, Ji Lingruo and Tan Shengnan walked on the street, just like when they were children. Tan Shengnan took her out and even carried her on his back when he was tired.

"Ruoruo, your foot? Does it hurt?"

Tan Shengnan noticed the changes in her feet and asked.

Ji Lingruo shook her head, "It hurts without the wrap."

Tan Shengnan was really happy for her and wanted to buy some big firecrackers to set off.

They bought some New Year's goods and returned to Tan's house. The owner of Ji Lingruo's house next door had already changed, so the Ji family's ancestral home was sold.

Tan Shengnan just found it a little funny that Ji's father, who was always talking nonsense and attached great importance to ancestral family rules, would actually sell the ancestral home to pay off his son's gambling debts.

She was happy for Lingruo when she thought that she had finally escaped from that home, but she went to another place.

Tan Shengnan proposed several ways to take her away quietly and develop in other places, but they were all rejected by Ling Ruo.

"Nannan, the Jing family can't trap me."

If it were before, Tan Shengnan would definitely not believe it, but for some reason, looking at the woman in front of her with a smile on her face, who was completely different from before, she felt inexplicably at ease.

"I heard there were bandits on the mountain, and the young marshal sent people to wipe them out. The mountain is too dangerous, Ruoruo, you should not go up the mountain."

Because the flowers on the mountain always bloom beautifully during the Chinese New Year, Tan Shengnan and the original owner would always go to the mountain to appreciate the flowers, pick some, and make flower cakes to enjoy.

Afraid that she would go again this year, Tan Shengnan quickly reminded her.

"No." The two had a sumptuous dinner together.

The fireworks in the sky bloomed instantly, colorful and gorgeous, burning in their eyes, carrying hope for the future.

It was getting late at night. After saying goodbye to Tan Shengnan, Ji Lingruo returned to Jing Mansion.

The two lanterns in front of the door were emitting red light, and the fireworks were still blooming, which lasted for a long time.

As soon as she entered, she ran into the depressed Jing Yunchuan. He was sitting at the stone table where she usually sat, with several empty jars of wine in his hands and slightly red eyes, like a poor little abandoned person.

Seeing Ji Lingruo coming over, Jing Yunchuan stood up and asked, "Does it look good?"

"What?" Ji Lingruo was puzzled.

"Fireworks." He had prepared fireworks for her for a long time. He had wanted to stay up with her tonight, but he had been waiting for her to come back.

"I thought you would leave..."
