1053 Mom Didn't Say What These Are?

"Brother Cen Mo, I was just mentioning it in passing!" Lin Ran was a little awkward. "I was only describing how I imagined the lives of second-generation rich kids to be. It's not that I want to lead that kind of life!"

"Lin Ran, just keep them. I'm just helping Mom and Dad make it up to you!"

Lin Ran knew that the mom and dad Cen Mo mentioned were their parents in the Lu family. Her eyes turned red…

She thought of how she had screamed in that dilapidated house in the Lu family, saying that she hated a poor life like that. Whenever she did that, the tall man would always squat down to her eye level, apologizing and saying that when their life got better in the future… he'd definitely fulfill all of her wishes!

However, that man returned Lin Ran to the Lin family and then left without fulfilling her wishes. Therefore, his son… was helping him fulfill this promise?

She pursed her lips, not saying anything. She heard Cen Mo's deep and alluring voice on the other end of the call. "This is… what Mom and Dad owed you! It's also what you deserve to have!"

Lin Ran frowned, looking down at her toes that had sunlight shining down on them. She bit her lip, unable to hold back tears. After a while, she let out an exhale and gave a simple "en" as a reply, fearing that her blocked nose would expose her current emotions. She then handed the phone back to Saihand and signed the document decisively.

Saihand looked at Lin Ran's signature and smiled. He made a call, and the two black gates to the Lin residence opened up. Two trucks drove in.

Lin Ran frowned and asked, "What's this?"

"Bags that are either classic pieces or in trend in these two years from various brands. Our madam said that girls like bags and that there isn't any problem that a bag can't resolve. There are also this year's spring fashion pieces from various big brands. I hope that Miss Lin will like them!"

Lin Ran stood under the sunlight, feeling a little dizzy as she watched the two trucks stop at the Lin residence's entrance. The staff members carefully unloaded the expensive bags and clothes, taking them into the Lin residence.

Liang Mulan clearly knew what was going on. She didn't ask many questions and only got a servant to lead the staff members to Lin Ran's room.

Lin Ran seemed to have gotten everything that any girl would want. She remembered that when she and her friends read novels back in high school, they would also enviously say that they hoped to have a Prince Charming like the male lead, who was able to give the female lead everything that she wanted.

Right now, it was true that Lin Ran had gotten everything she had dreamed of when she was young, just like the female leads in the stories. However, these were things her elder brother, who wasn't related to her by blood, had given her!

This feeling was somewhat… strange, yet it was also very warm. It was so warm that Lin Ran felt that all the hatred she had felt and difficult situations she had been through had become very wonderful.

After Saihand and the staff members left, Lin Ran stood in her room in a daze, looking at the overwhelming number of bags and fashion pieces. Liang Mulan brought a cup of coffee, knocked on the door, and entered…

"Cen Mo is a much better brother than Xiao Chen is!" Liang Mulan stood next to Lin Ran, looking at the branded bags and clothes that filled up the room, her gaze filled with warmth. "Cen Mo… is a great kid. It's just that his past was too painful. Xiao Ran, you must treat Cen Mo like you would your real brother in the future, alright?"

It wasn't as if Lin Ran wasn't able to afford the bags given her current financial situation. Moreover, the Lin family had already given her more financial freedom, and neither Lin Ran nor Liang Mulan would feel touched if someone else had bought them for Lin Ran.

However, it was different when they were bought by Cen Mo… who had been through such experiences in his younger days. It was really rare for him to be able to dote on others like this.

"En, I got it, Mom!" Lin Ran hugged Liang Mulan's arm, nodding. She then asked, "How should I deal with these bags? How will I be able to use so many of them myself?"

"They are your brother's kind intentions. Just keep them! Mom will get people to expand your dressing room later on, and you can hang these bags inside!" Liang Mulan smiled and patted the back of Lin Ran's hand. "Mom has prepared some things as well. If you're free, help Mom send them to Cen Mo and Nuan Nuan…"

"What?" Lin Ran looked at Liang Mulan and asked.

Liang Mulan smiled gently at Lin Ran. "You'll find out after you take them over!"

…

Cen Mo had just settled Song Yao down for her afternoon nap when he heard that Lin Ran had come over. He frowned tightly, thinking that Lin Ran might have changed her mind and brought back the gifts he had gotten for her. After going down, he saw Lin Ran carrying a box in her arms. It was only then that he found out that Liang Mulan had gotten her to bring some things over.

"Mom didn't say what these are?" Lin Nuan asked.

Lin Ran shook her head. "I asked, but Mom said that I'd find out after I brought them over!"

Lin Nuan was about to take the box from Lin Ran's hands when Fu Huai'an beat her to it. "I'll carry the heavy stuff…"

Lin Ran was speechless.

She wasn't there for dog food.

Fu Huai'an placed the box down on the coffee table. Cen Mo bent over to open it, and he was stunned the moment he saw what was inside.

The things in the box were some old things from the Lu family in the past. The item on the very top was a photo of Ji Yun, her husband, and the young Lin Ran. The other things were also small mementos that were from that small house.

Liang Mulan had kept these things for Lin Ran, thinking that she would want to take a look at them in the future. But later on… after learning that Lin Ran hated the Lu family to a great extreme, Liang Mulan hadn't brought out these things, storing them away instead.

After Ji Yun had passed away, Liang Mulan was afraid that Lin Ran would feel sad after seeing these things, so she hid this from her. She hoped that one day, once Lin Ran felt less guilty toward Ji Yun, she could bring them out. However, after Cen Mo had sent people to bring so many things for Lin Ran, Liang Mulan suddenly thought of the box that she had hidden away!

Liang Mulan felt that Cen Mo would want to know about his parents' life in the past. He should also… want to know what his parents looked like in the past, as well as see the traces from their life back then.

Cen Mo took out the family photo taken by the three of them when Lin Ran was young. She sat in Ji Yun's lap, and his father was seated next to the two of them. Lin Ran was the only one of them who was smiling. Ji Yun's gaze looked empty, as if without focus. The man with a tall build was seated upright, his thin lips pursed together tightly. Even though taking a family photo was something to feel happy about, he was still frowning…

Cen Mo guessed that the reason the man wasn't smiling was that he was wondering where his son was when they were taking the family photo together!

Lin Nuan was silent for a moment when she saw the photo. She had seen this family photo when she first went to the place the Lu family stayed at. She knew that Liang Mulan had them sent over for Cen Mo to see, and it was her kind intentions.

The eyes of Lin Ran, who had her hands in her pockets as if it were none of her business, turned red in an instant. She stood next to Cen Mo, looking into the box. Those were the things she had been familiar with in the past.
