Difficult To Raise Chapter 60
byChapter 60: Concealing it. She said she was unwilling, but when it came to Zhou…
Even though he said he was unwilling, at the weekend, Jiang Ran still planned to go to Jiang Jin’s school to accompany him.
He sent a message to Jiang Jin to tell him about this, and Jiang Jin quickly replied to him, with excitement visible to the naked eye.
RJ: [Brother, come quickly, I’m waiting for you.】
Jiang Ran replied well, put his cell phone in his pocket, and went to take the bus in a happy mood. He was still planning to go to the supermarket to buy a box of milk for Jiang Jin later, and then pick some fresh fruits.
Jiang Jin is staying up late preparing for the exam and needs to keep up with nutrition.If you don’t have the conditions to cook, try to buy as much food and drink as possible.
There were many people on the bus, and even though the air conditioner was turned on, it was still very hot.Someone was talking loudly, children were screaming, laughing, and making noises. Jiang Ran turned his head outside the car and looked at the street scene regressing outside.
After watching for a while, the bus stopped at the stop.Two girls dressed as students got into the car and squeezed through the front door, just in time to squeeze in beside Jiang Ran. He leaned back slightly to give the girls more space.
“Thank you.” One of the girls with a high ponytail thanked him.
Jiang Ran shook his head and said you’re welcome.
The girl with a high ponytail turned her head back again, chatting with her companions while scrolling through her phone. She didn’t know what she saw. She suddenly exclaimed, pointed at her phone and said, “Hey, look at this hot search! Something happened to Mr. Jiang from Shengyu Group! It’s said that the overseas project he invested in collapsed, and the company is about to go bankrupt!”
“Really or not?” Another girl wearing glasses walked over curiously, staring at the screen and browsing quickly. After a few seconds, she clicked her tongue as if she suddenly realized, “It’s him! I’ve seen posts about him on the Internet before. This man originally relied on the resources of his wife’s family to make a fortune. After getting married, he was restless and cheated everywhere. I heard that his original wife and child died in an accident, so he turned around and took the illegitimate child home. It was not a good thing in the first place.”
“Oh my god, is it so disgusting?” The girl with the high ponytail frowned, her tone full of disdain, “Then is this retribution? You deserve it!”
“That’s right.” The girl wearing glasses echoed, “So you have to keep your eyes peeled when looking for a partner. When you meet such a heartless person, losing money is a trivial matter. Even your life may be involved. There will be no place to cry.”
…
The girl’s voice was mixed with the noisy carriage. Jiang Ran felt that his expression was dazed for a moment. The uneasiness that had been vaguely lingering in his heart suddenly exploded at this moment, like explosives that were suddenly ignited.
A severe dizziness hit him, and he staggered. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the handrail beside him, and managed to steady himself without falling.
His heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to burst through his chest, and the only sound left in his ears was his own heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat.
Jiang Ran took out his mobile phone tremblingly, his fingertips a little unruly due to nervousness, and he clicked on Weibo several times.The first item on the hot search list, with the eye-catching word “explosion”, suddenly came into view – #深宇集团外围投注网站broken##江阳investfailed#.
Jiang Yue, something really happened!
What about Jiang Jin?Does he know these things?He must have known about it. How could he not know about such a big thing?But he never said a word to him.
This has obviously been agreed upon before.No matter what happens in the future, we must not hide it from him.
The result?
Jiang Ran stared at the entries on the phone screen and felt dizzy.He could even imagine Jiang Jin pretending to be nonchalant in front of him, but behind his back he was worried about family matters.
No matter how bad the relationship is, Jiang Yue is still his father.
How could it be that if something like this happened at home, it would have no impact on him at all.What’s more, he is still a senior high school student preparing for the exam.
“The next stop is Chengshui Middle School. Passengers who want to get off the bus, please prepare in advance…”
The sound of the bus announcing the stop brought him back from his thoughts.Jiang Ran suddenly came to his senses and realized that his palms were covered in cold sweat and the screen of his mobile phone was soaked.He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the surging emotions, but the tightness in his chest became stronger and stronger.
The bus stopped at the stop, and the moment the door opened, Jiang Ran squeezed in almost as if he was escaping.The air outside was much fresher than inside the car, but he still felt out of breath.He walked to the bus stop sign on the side of the road, leaned against the cold iron sheet, and slowly squatted down.

One minute, five minutes, an hour passed…
Jiang Jin dropped the pen on the table irritably.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the dialog box with Jiang Ran. The latest one was the good word he sent an hour ago.
It’s so strange…Why hasn’t my brother come after so long? Their schools are not far away, and the bus ride takes no more than thirty minutes. If something is delayed, he should be able to say something.
Jiang Jin felt a little uneasy. Just as he was about to make a call, a new message popped up, which was sent to him by Li Yunzhou.
Li Yunzhou: [Ajin, are you… okay?】
Jiang Jin was upset at the moment and couldn’t bear to reply to him, so he sent him a question mark to dismiss it.
Who knew that just after the message was sent, the phone vibrated several times in succession.
Li Yunzhou: [I just saw the hot search…you want to be more open.】
Li Yunzhou: [We are all still students. The most important thing now is the college entrance examination. Put other things aside for now. Don’t let your mentality be affected.】
Jiang Jin’s head was filled with questions, and he frowned as he typed.
RJ: [What do you mean?】
Li Yunzhou: [Ah?】
RJ: [Ah, what, don’t speak halfway, I’m very annoyed now, be careful I’ll beat you up.】
Li Yunzhou: [Hey, what about that? You can see for yourself.】
Immediately afterwards, there is a piece of content with a forwarding mark: [Forwarded blog post @xx News Agency: Breaking!The capital chain of Shengyu Group was broken, and founder Jiang Yue’s overseas investment projects collapsed…]
Jiang Jin’s fingertips froze instantly. He clicked on the link and read the news line by line. At the end, his face turned as dark as water.
He didn’t reply to Li Yunzhou. He suddenly put his cell phone into his pocket, stuffed the unfinished test papers into his schoolbag very quickly, grabbed the backpack strap and rushed out of the school gate.
Jiang Ran knew.
He must have known.
He didn’t come and didn’t reply. Was he angry?Are you angry that he kept it from him, angry that he didn’t keep his words?
Jiang Jin’s heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, and he couldn’t help but think wildly: Does his brother not want to care about him anymore?Do you think he is lying to him again?Are you… not planning to ignore him anymore?
After thinking about it, he couldn’t stand it anymore. He called Jiang Ran with trembling hands. The call was put through, but no one answered.
Huge panic came over him. Jiang Jin held the phone tightly and walked faster and faster.
There were very few students on campus on weekends, and I didn’t see many people on the way to the school gate.He was passing by the green belt outside an experimental building, and suddenly a hand reached out from behind and dragged him in by his schoolbag.
Jiang Jin was stunned for only a second. After reacting, he grabbed the man’s arm and tried to throw him over his shoulder and throw him to the ground.
However, as soon as his hands touched each other, before he could exert any force, he heard a familiar voice, “Don’t move, it’s me.”
Jiang Jin was startled, “Brother?”
Jiang Ran said “Yeah”.
Jiang Jin’s tense nerves relaxed. He didn’t look back and asked softly, “Brother, why don’t you answer my call?”
“What do you think?” Jiang Zizi’s teeth were itching and he bit the flesh on his shoulder and rubbed it hard. “You don’t tell me anything and you still want me to answer your call?”
“Brother, I’m sorry.” Jiang Jin didn’t hide, letting him bite without even frowning.
Jiang Ran bit it for a long time, but he didn’t even hear him cry out about pain.He opened his mouth angrily, grabbed Jiang Jin’s collar and turned him around. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes met the other person’s eyes and he suddenly stopped.
He slightly bent his eyes and smiled.
“You’re laughing!” Jiang Ran pulled open his collar.The skin on the shoulder had clear tooth marks, it was red and swollen, and there were some fine drops of blood on the edge.He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Jiang Jin hard, “Are you sick? Don’t you know it hurts?”
“Brother, as long as you don’t ignore me, you can vent your anger however you want.” Jiang Jin held his wrist, put it to his lips and kissed it.
The fact that Jiang Ran was still willing to see him and get angry at him meant that he was not really angry with him. This knowledge made him suddenly relax, and the panic he had just felt was gone.
“Do you think I am willing?” Jiang Ran grabbed his hair, “When I saw the hot search, the bus had already arrived, and I couldn’t sit back again.” In short, he would never admit that he cared about him more than he was angry.
Jiang Jin took his hand off, hugged him with her back, buried her head in his arms and laughed muffledly.The vibration in the chest was transmitted through the clothes that were attached to each other, and Jiang Ran felt the tip of his heart tremble slightly.
Strange, has this person ever laughed so much before?
After laughing for a while, he stopped, still buried in his chest, and explained in a low voice: “Brother, I shouldn’t hide it from you, I’m just afraid that you will worry. Jiang Yue… my relationship with him is different from what you think. Whatever happens to him, it won’t affect me.”
He put his arm around Jiang Ran’s waist and hid the dark light in his eyes, preventing him from seeing his expression when he said this.
In the corridor of the hospital, what He Siyu said echoed in his mind again. Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and asked, “He has been treating you badly over the years, hasn’t he?”
He should have guessed, he should have known.If someone like Jiang Yue really cared about his child, how could he abandon him since he was a child?
It’s a shame that he only thought that this man was rich and could provide Jiang Jin with better material conditions.But I never thought about what kind of life he would live if he was taken back?
“It’s okay.” Jiang Jin felt his depression and patted his back comfortingly: “It’s not as bad as you think. He just… doesn’t care about me.”
Jiang Ran wanted to ask something more, but Jiang Jin suddenly leaned over, clasped his knees with one hand, and held his back with the other, hugging him firmly like a child.
“Are you crazy?!” Jiang Ran was so shocked that he immediately tensed up, holding Jiang Jin’s shoulders with both hands, and patted him anxiously and embarrassedly, “This is school! There is someone here!”
This little lunatic was caught off guard and went crazy again. He was really defenseless.
“No one,” Jiang Jin laughed, “No one usually comes to this place.”
Jiang Ran glanced around in panic, and found that he didn’t see a single figure, so he relaxed a little.
This posture was too insecure. Jiang Ran was afraid that he would fall to the ground accidentally, so he had to hug his shoulders tightly.
“How were you in the past few years? I want to know everything about you and Jiang Yue. You can no longer hide it from me.” He still said what he wanted to say before.
Jiang Jin carried him into the laboratory building and walked towards the empty classroom at the end of the corridor on the first floor. He agreed unhurriedly, “Okay, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
This classroom has not been used for a long time, and there are some unused desks scattered around inside.A thin layer of dust fell on the ground and on the desk. Jiang Jin took out a notebook from the table, placed it on the desk, and gently put Jiang Ran on it.
Jiang Ran looked at him and hesitated to speak.
Jiang Jin stood in front of him, looking at him with his head slightly lowered, the look on his face was very gentle, “I know what brother wants to ask, where should I start? Let me think about it, let’s start from the day we separated four years ago.”
