Chapter 25: Don't be too obvious with double standards
After giving Gu Ran a fierce glare, Wen Changning and Wen Rang also turned around and entered the house.Gu Ran sensed the hostility between the two people, hesitated for a moment, and then changed shoes to enter the house.He was dirty, covered in mud and blood, so he didn't sit down but stood on one side, looking at Wen Qian.What do you want to ask?"Where are your parents?""...Gu Ran didn't expect her to ask this as soon as she came in. He lowered his head, his eyes turning red, and after a moment of silence, he answered.Dead.My mom was bitten by a zombie on her way home from work. My dad was planning to bring me and my sister to your house to ask for medicine, but he was also attacked by zombies on the way."Gu Ran's voice was flat, but everyone present could hear the sadness in it.Wen Rang gave a signal to Wen Qian, indicating her not to ask such a sensitive question.After his sister saw the look in his eyes, she immediately asked again.Is there anyone else alive in your family besides your sister?"Wen Rang: "..."Is his sister so bad at chatting?Wen Changning: "..."His daughter is really good at asking questions.Gu Ran's face turned pale, shaking his head.No, they're all dead."Wen Qian: "Before coming to my house, have you been to the pharmacy and the hospital?"""Well, the hospital has been completely overrun, and I've checked a few pharmacies, but they have all been looted."I really have no other choice, that's why I'm here."Wen Qian nodded thoughtfully, glanced at his dirty clothes, and then turned to look at Wen Rang.Bro, take him to your room, find him some clothes, and let him take a shower."Gu Ran: "No need!"Thank you, but I really don't need it.I will take her away when my sister is feeling better!"Where can you take her at this time?Wen Qian chuckled and said, "Do you think those two pieces of bread in your bag can feed a three-year-old child?""Gu Ran's body stiffened and his face turned dark at the mention.Wen Rang quickly got up and dragged Gu Ran to his room to take a shower.He was afraid that his sister would say something sarcastic again, the atmosphere was too tense, and he couldn't stand it.In the bathroom, Wen Rang whispered, "There is a backup power system at home, but don't turn on the lights. I've placed your clothes outside, all of them are new and I haven't worn them.""Gu Ran: "Thank you!""Close the door, Wen Rang quickly returned to the living room and sat down next to Wen Qian."Stinky brat, how did I not realize before that you are this kind of person?!""Wen Qian was puzzled, "Who am I?""Look at the dish, not the face!Love Brain!Do you think I'm blind?You just saw that kid's face on the monitor screen and immediately smiled!Eyes are sparkling!Without saying a word, you opened the door for her. Are you saying you're not interested in her?"Wen Rang's words left Wen Qianwen confused. She looked at him with a headache, then glanced at Wen Changning.Dad, do you also think I let him in because I like Gu Ran?"So what?The downstairs neighbor Zhang Ziyang wants to enter our house, how do you treat him?Daughter, don't be so obvious with your double standards."Wen smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh.She leaned back on the sofa, crossed her arms in front of her chest, tilted her head and looked at him gently.I know Gu Ran because of you. He used to be your subordinate, very loyal to you, saved your life, and eventually died for you.And he is a veteran special forces soldier with strong combat capabilities. It would be advantageous for us to keep him."Wen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.Wen Qian: "Think about it, he was able to take his sister from the east side of the city to the west side, and even went to the hospital, pharmacy, and supermarket, all without getting injured."This is enough to prove his strength."Wen Rang: "It's true that things were said that way, but if we were to start over, we can't be sure if he would still be as loyal and unwavering as before.""Wen Qian: "So we need to observe, if he shows any signs of disloyalty, kill him immediately."I do not keep useless people, let alone disloyal ones.With our current strength, killing him is not a problem."Wen Rang and Wen Changning breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her say that.Wen Changning: "You scared me to death! I thought you were secretly dating a boyfriend behind Dad's back.""Wen Qian: "..."Wen Qian: Dad, I am focused on my career and not interested in dating."Wen Changning: "We should talk about it. It's important to be with the right person in a relationship. It's a happy thing. Just look at your mom and me.""Wen Qian didn't want to discuss this issue with him, so she got up and went to Li Mo's room.She received a system prompt indicating that the injured person 0 had lost consciousness and asked her if she needed to grant permission to bring the injured person into the treatment space.Li Mo had already done a simple check on the little girl. When Wen Qian arrived, the two of them immediately took her into the space and rechecked with professional instruments.Li Mo frowned as he looked at the results of the CT scan."It's too late, the child cannot be saved now.""Dr. Li, you've worked hard."Wen Qian hugged Li Mo and told him about Gu Ran's situation and the reason why she opened the door for him.After hearing this, Li Mo also felt relieved, took the medicine, and left the space with the child.Gu Ran had already taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. She was standing nervously in the living room, waiting for a message from Li Mo.Li Mo pushed the door open and saw his tense appearance, feeling a sudden pang of sadness.Just now I heard my daughter say that both her parents have passed away, and her only remaining family member is her younger sister.Li Mo put himself in the shoes of his own people and imagined him as Wen Rang, unable to accept such a thing happening.I have given her fever-reducing medicine and administered the injection. You can go in and take a look."Thank you, Auntie!"Gu Ran quickly thanked them and then went into the room, sitting by his sister's bed and keeping watch over her all night.The little girl's fever subsided around four in the middle of the night. She woke up for a while and then fell back asleep.Gu Ran didn't close his eyes all night, staring at the little figure on the bed, feeling an indescribable fear in his heart.He didn't have much affection for this younger sister originally.Because she was born while he was serving in the army, he has been away from home for the past few years and hasn't seen her much.Now that he has retired and returned, both of his parents have passed away, leaving only her and him to rely on each other.Gu Ran's eyes were bloodshot, and he dared not even close them.He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, even this little girl would leave him.In the morning, Wen Rang knocked on the door and called Gu Ran to have breakfast.Gu Ran hesitated for a moment and declined.No need, I have bread, I'll just eat that.I've brought your share, no need to be polite."Wen Rang walked into the room and approached the bed, touching the girl's forehead.The fire has been put out, so don't worry. Come back after you've eaten and keep watch."Gu Ran refused several times, but was eventually dragged out of the room by Wen Rang.Gu Ran was shocked to find that his strength was no match for Wen Lang, which left him both surprised and somewhat disheartened, unable to understand what was happening.On the dining table, steaming hot wontons and beef noodles were placed, making everyone salivate at the sight.He never expected that Wen Jia could still eat such food after being trapped for so many days.Being pressed down on the dining chair by Wen Rang, Gu Ran looked embarrassedly at Li Mo.Thank you for saving my sister, Auntie, and for giving us food. I will take her away once she wakes up.""It's so chaotic outside now, where can you take her?"Li Mo sighed, "Why don't you just stay here? My house is big enough for you to stay.""
