The Huo family is prominent and distinguished, and Guangzu’s residence occupies half of the mountain. Mr. Huo was holding a birthday banquet. Naturally, the party was full of stylish clothes and dazzling lights, and celebrities from all walks of life came and went.

Ling Ran was a little embarrassed.

He was not an actual member of the Huo family.

Ling Ran’s deceased grandfather and Mr. Huo were comrades-in-arms. Originally, his parents had earned a lot of money with the support of the Huo family and were considered moderately wealthy, but they died in a sudden car accident.

Mr. Huo took him back to the Huo family and forced his second son to recognize him as his adopted son. He often took Ling Ran with him to show that he valued him.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Huo Er’s family thought that he was unlucky and had a tough life, so he killed his biological parents.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as soon as Mr. Huo departs, he will be kicked out of the Huo family.

So the people who come to fawn over now are all the children of low-class families and are not very well-informed.

Ling Ran was impatient to deal with this situation and found an excuse to hide, but was blocked by his nominal brother Huo Wenyao at the door of the bathroom.

“Tsk, tsk, you can’t survive in the entertainment industry anymore, so you came back to please the old man? Who was it that wanted to enter the entertainment industry so desperately? The one who said that he had to become famous before he would go home. Now he’s back in despair! “

Huo Wenyao was a kid, so he imitated his own mother’s tone with his hands on his hips.

Ling Ran turned around and was about to bypass Huo Wenyao.

The Huo family was kind to him, and besides, this was Mr. Huo’s birthday party, so it wouldn’t look good.

But the other party blocked the door unwillingly.

Huo Wenyao detested Ling Ran.

Why does Grandpa like him and not himself? His mother said that Ling Ran is a lone star of evil, a vampire that sucks the blood of the Huo family just like his parents.

Ling Ran knew why Huo Er and his wife hated him.

He was not from the Huo family, but he had the favor of the old man. He left a lot of shares in his will, almost treating him as his grandson. Even Huo Wenyao did not receive such treatment.

Why won’t his adoptive parents be jealous?

The original owner realized this and decided to try his luck in the entertainment industry, hoping to make a career to show the Huo family.

But now Ling Ran just wants to pack his bags and run away from the entertainment industry.

He is already fifteen.

Figure skating is all about youthful skills, which he only started to learn when he was fifteen years old. No serious and reputable coach would train him, with apprehension that he wouldn’t be able to practice. If he didn’t decide soon, he might not even get the silver medal.

Ever since he discovered that his new body made up for the shortcomings of his original body, all Ling Ran could think about was the gold medal around Mikhail’s neck.

But Mr. Huo even wanted to prevent him from entering the entertainment industry. Can he raise his hand and let him go to figure skating training? Which athlete with a little bit of achievement has not suffered from injuries?

Even he has made many mistakes.

Under the beautiful costume, spinning on the ice, every athlete is covered in bruises.

In his previous life, he had to retire when he was only twenty-five, was it not because his right foot was always used to support landing on the ice when jumping, and the joint was severely deformed?

Even after receiving a numbing injection to isolate the pain, as long as he performed a powerful quadruple jump, there would still be a dull pain.

If he has a chance to start over in this life, he must protect his body.

Ling Ran was lost in thought, and Huo Wenyao was even more unhappy.

He was already at an irritable age where people hated even dogs barking. When he saw Ling Ran not talking to him and still wandering around, he almost exploded with anger.

“Hey, Ling Ran, don’t pretend to be dead!”

He suddenly reached out and pushed.

Ling Ran reacted faster and moved to avoid it.

There was water on the bathroom floor, and Huo Wenyao was fat. He slipped and hit his head heavily on the edge of the countertop. Blood was visible at that time.

The little fat man had never seen blood before and was so frightened that he cried loudly and soon attracted many people.

Huo Wenyao’s biological mother, Qin Zhi, came over immediately after hearing the news and hugged Huo Wenyao immediately.

“What’s going on? Why did you knock your head? Does it hurt?”

“It hurts! It hurts so much! Mom, it hurts so much!” Huo Wenyao howled with his eyes closed.

Qin Zhi was so distressed that she almost shed tears. He was an only child, and he had never felt so much pain as a baby.

“Why did you fall? Is the family doctor here?”

Ling Ran called the family doctor immediately, but Qin Zhi looked at him as if he hadn’t seen him, so he didn’t join in the fun and stood on the edge of the crowd as an invisible person.

Huo Wenyao knew that if his words of ridicule to Ling Ran reached Mr. Huo’s ears, there would be no good results, so he simply felt discouraged.

“It was Ling Ran! It was Ling Ran who pushed me, and I fell!”

The surrounding guests were in an uproar.

The adopted son of the Huo family pushed the baby of the second Huo family.

It’s really exciting now.

Ling Ran raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t expect that Huo Wenyao would still want to throw dirty water on him at this moment.

He didn’t want to make people laugh, so he reached out to Huo Wenyao and said, “Let’s go back to the room first.”

However, Qin Zhi stretched her arm.

“What do you want to do to Yaoyao again? Get out of here, you bastard!”

This was hard to say.

Wherever Ling Ran looked, the guests were whispering to each other and talking in low voices. Even those who had just called him brothers and sisters became evasive.

We can’t let this matter become a big deal.

Ling Ran tried his best to keep his tone gentle, “Today is Grandpa’s birthday, let’s go back to the room first.”

But Qin Zhi’s face turned even more ugly.

This is using Mr. Huo to suppress her!

Qin Zhi was spoiled by the second eldest son of the Huo family. The only thing she felt aggrieved about after so many years of marriage was that Mr. Huo convinced them to accept an adopted son like Ling Ran and watch helplessly as he shared her son’s property.

Why won’t she hate Ling Ran!?

Especially when Ling Ran hurt the child she had worked so hard to give birth to. She was injured when she gave birth to Huo Wenyao, and it would be impossible for her to have another child in the future!

Qin Zhi was furious and raised her hand.

She was about to slap Ling Ran in front of everyone!

The sound of someone taking a breath reached Ling Ran’s ears.

A tall figure quickly stood in front of Ling Ran, took Qin Zhi’s hand, and threw it back.

Ling Ran obviously couldn’t be hit. The reaction speed he had trained in countless competitions was still there, so he wouldn’t let himself get hit.

But Huo Wenze would suddenly appear and block Qin Zhi in front of him, which still surprised him.

He said to Huo Wenze, “Brother Wenze, let’s talk in the room.” He also saved some face for his grandfather.

Huo Wenze understood what he meant and nodded.

“Second aunt, let’s go back to the room first to check on Wen Yao’s injuries.”

The young man has been in the army for many years, he is powerful and has self-confidence, and he grew up in front of the old man. He is the next generation of the Huo family who is firmly in charge and speaks with great weight.

Although Qin Zhi is an elder, she is a little afraid of him.

Seeing that there was no smile on Huo Wenze’s face, she nodded nervously.

Even the fat little Huo Wenyao was too scared to cry.

“There was a little misunderstanding at home, which made everyone laugh.”

Huo Wenze showed a slight smile and explained to the guests around him.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Mr. Huo is too polite. Who doesn’t have a problem?”

“We are all brothers. Even the broken bones are still connected. It’s just a small misunderstanding. Just clear it up!”

The guests all gave Huo Wenze a face and left one after another.

After witnessing all this, Ling Ran secretly compared the size gap between himself and Huo Wenze.

Is this the benefit of being tall?

He had a cold face and didn’t find Huo Wenze’s indifference so scary.

After thinking about it for a while, he attributed Huo Wenze’s aura to his height of more than 180cm.

Ling Ran, who was 178 in his last life and looks similar in this life: …

His heart suddenly felt a little tired.

And a little envious.

But it got better in the blink of an eye.

Huo Wenze is so tall that he will not be able to survive the growth stage on the ice. Although he is not tall, he is not short either. Moreover, he has a thin frame and a better upper and lower body ratio, which makes him 100% compatible with figure skating.

Ling Ran somehow felt that he had won.

On the way to the room, Qin Zhi was still asking questions distressedly.

Huo Wenyao had something in his mind and hesitated.

Huo Wenze took one look and felt confident. However, he looked at Ling Ran who was as if nothing had happened. Should he say that he had to admire Ling Ran’s calmness?

There was no surveillance camera in the bathroom. How was he going to clear himself out?

Another hip-hop dance?

Huo Wenze was rarely amused by himself, and the light in his eyes flickered for a moment.

Mr. Huo got the message and was already waiting for them in the room.

As soon as Qin Zhi entered, he pulled Huo Wenyao to complain.

“Father, I’m not prejudiced, look at what Ling Ran did to our family’s Wen Yao!”

Ling Ran looked at his nominal adoptive mother crying with a cold face.

Qin Zhi is just a stranger to him, and a stranger with a bad impression.

Ling Ran didn’t care at all about the harsh words from strangers.

He used to be the only male player on the team. He single-handedly supported this feeble task. However, after he never won the gold medal, some career fans turned negative and ridiculed and insulted him on social platforms every day. Worse than this.

But Mr. Huo is different. He is the only elder in this book who truly loves Ling Ran.

Ling Ran didn’t want to make the old man sad, so he explained, “I didn’t push him, he fell by himself.”

Huo Wenyao felt guilty and cried louder. The noise made Ling Ran’s ears hurt, but it made Qin Zhi heartbroken.

“If you hadn’t pushed Yaoyao, he would have been twelve years old, and he would still have fallen on the ground while walking! You just hate me in your heart for not keeping you by your side! You are also jealous of Yaoyao!”

At this time, the door opened. Ling Ran turned around and saw the second son of the Huo family, his adoptive father, pushing open the door.

He was even more excited than Qin Zhi, “Dad, you can’t favor Ling Ran in this matter. You have to give Wen Yao an explanation.”

Mr. Huo is seventy years old this year. He is energetic and has a sullen expression. He looks exactly like Huo Wenze standing behind him. It makes people feel guilty just looking at him.

“You said Wen Yao fell by himself. Is there any evidence?”

He was asking about Ling Ran.

“Father!”

“Dad!”

“Shut up, I want to listen to Ling Ran.”

Huo Er and his wife looked at Ling Ran with even more disgust.

Ling Ran recalled the scene at that time, “There was someone outside the bathroom, and it was the youngest son of the Zhou family.”

Huo Wenze went out after hearing this. When he came back, he shook his head at Mr. Huo, “He said he didn’t see it.”

Ling Ran was slightly stunned, now he was in trouble.

“You just can’t produce any evidence!”

“Ling Ran, you have been telling lies at a young age. Why, you dare to hit your brother, but you don’t have the guts to admit it?”

Huo Wenyao cried very loudly. The little fat man was trembling and looking a little pitiful.

Mr. Huo also became hesitant.

He and Xini said, “Come on, what do they look like when they are shouting? They are just children…”

“Dad, you are just indulging him!”

Huo Er took out his cell phone and showed it to the old man, “Look, the hot searches are saying that he was kicked out of the program because he was jealous of his teammates and scratched other people’s performance clothes!”

“With such a strong jealousy at such a young age, it’s not surprising at all that he would attack Wen Yao!”

Hot search? Ling Ran frowned and took out his mobile phone.

Mr. Huo was so noisy that his head hurt. “That’s enough, stop saying a few words!” He took Huo Er’s cell phone and squinted to look at it from a distance.

Huo Wenze stood by and watched with indifference.

Mr. Huo was so angry at the netizen’s words that he was so angry that he was still saying, “Can the netizen’s words be taken seriously? Ah’Ran has many ways to make a career, and he doesn’t need to harm others. Don’t listen to the wind and the rain…”

Huo Er’s neck stiffened, “What about him pushing Wen Yao down today?”

Mr. Huo still said the same thing, “It’s normal for children to fight and make noise.”

The faces of Huo Er and his wife turned even darker, and their eyes were like knives scratching Ling Ran as if they were looking at an enemy.

Seeing that things are about to be finalized, Mr. Huo will continue to protect him.

Ling Ran didn’t want to take the blame.

He put away his phone and looked at Huo Wenze, “Brother Wenze, do you have a pen and paper?”

The Huo family was confused.

Qin Zhi sneered, “Ling Ran, what are you playing?”

Mr. Huo’s eyes lit up, “Ah Ran, do you have any idea?”

Even Huo Wenze, who had nothing to do with him, raised his eyebrows.

Ling Ran glanced at the Huo family members with indifferent expressions, and with a few strokes on the marble table next to them, he sketched out the general layout of the bathroom.

He drew two little stick figures. The short and fat one was Huo Wenyao.

He clicked on the paper and said, “This is our position at the time.”

Mr. Huo came over to take a look.

Ling Ran held the pencil’s fingertips lightly and drew a few dotted lines.

“Weird.” Huo Er sneered.

“Shut up.” Mr. Huo was very impatient.

Ling Ran seemed to be immersed in his world, carefully sketching with the tip of his pen, erasing the auxiliary lines, and pushing the paper to everyone in the Huo family.

“The arc of Huo Wenyao’s fall was like this. There was still water on the floor in the bathroom. When I left, I saw Brother Wenze sealing off the bathroom. You should still be able to collect traces of his fall.”

Ling Ran tapped the taller one among the stick figures with his white fingers.

“And I was standing here at the time. With this angle and force, if I pushed him down, the arc of his fall should be this. Although there are no cameras in the bathroom, there are surveillance cameras in the corridor, so you should be able to capture the position.”

Huo Er said harshly, “Who knows if you drew it blindly!”

“There are still traces on the bathroom floor.”

Ling Ran was very calm. This calmness exceeded the age of his body and was particularly convincing.

Mr. Huo handed the paper to Huo Wenze and motioned for him to go out and check.

Huo Wenze nodded when he came back after checking.

Ling Ran raised the corners of his lips slightly.

The reason why he was able to clear himself of suspicion was also that when he was practicing steps in his previous life, he often drew routes on paper to assist in memory.

It was easy for him to draw an arc of falling.

But everyone else was shocked.

Huo Wenyao choked and burped, threw himself into his mother’s arms, and muttered, “I’m sorry!”

Now the truth is revealed.

The second child of the Huo family cursed “broom star” in a low voice.

Mr. Huo’s eyes were sharp, “Who do you think is the bad guy?”

Huo Laoer gritted his teeth and said, “Otherwise, why would Wen Yao fall if everything was fine? Ling Ran can’t even fend off his parents. Who knows if it might have hindered Wen Yao.”

“Shut up your nonsense!”

Seeing that Mr. Huo was really angry, Huo Wenze immediately stepped forward and patted his chest to calm him down.

Ling Ran hesitated for a moment but didn’t go up.

He was not familiar with Mr. Huo, and he didn’t like to have physical contact with others.

What’s more, hadn’t Huo Wenze already gone up?

When the second son of the Huo family saw that he had made the old man so angry, he immediately gave up and ran away with his wife and children.

Mr. Huo breathed smoothly, and when he saw Ling Ran standing aside calmly, with a look that had nothing to do with him, he sighed deeply.

“It’s Grandpa’s fault, for not choosing a good pair of parents for you.”

Mr. Huo felt very guilty. If Huo Wenze’s father, the eldest son of the Huo family, had not died during the mission, he would have sent Ling Ran to his family.

But who would have thought that the second son’s family would be so narrow-minded?

Don’t think that because he is old and confused, he doesn’t know what Lao Er’s family is saying about Ling Ran behind his back.

Even Huo Wenyao, a child, dared to throw dirty water on Ling Ran. It was true that the second child and his wife raised him crookedly at such a young age.

But he can’t do this without drinking water and forcing his head down.

“Ahem, Ah Ran, are you unhappy? What happened to you in that variety show? Do you want Grandpa to help?”

Looking at the old man who was carefully trying to please him, Ling Ran felt a warm current rush through his heart, “Grandpa, I won’t go on that variety show again.”

“Do you want to make a TV series or a movie?”

Mr. Huo immediately began to wonder if there were any related investments under the Huo family.

Ling Ran shook his head, “I don’t want to, Grandpa, I don’t want to enter the entertainment industry.”

Mr. Huo himself is an old-school person and does not like his descendants to be in the populace.

Hearing what Ling Ran said, he was immediately overjoyed, “Okay, okay! Our Ah Ran has finally figured it out. What’s so great about being a star? You don’t have to be pointed out every day.”

“Then what do you want to do in the future? If you want to study further, Grandpa will hire the best teacher for you. Or if you want to go to the army to experience just like Wen Ze, Grandpa can send you there. Or do you have any other hobbies? Grandpa can satisfy you.”

Ling Ran looked at Mr. Huo, his beautiful eyes shining brightly.

“I want to skate.”

Mr. Huo was confused, “skating?”

End of the Chapter 4.
