**

The restaurant in the Zhang Family Mansion is spacious and windowless, with just the right amount of air conditioning. The gorgeous crystal lamp casts a faint light, making the whole restaurant a bit more elegant. The air is filled with the delicious smell of toasted bread, which is Zhang Xinran's favorite white bread.

There are a total of six seats on the rectangular retro dining table, five of which are now occupied, and it is self-evident who belongs to the leftmost seat.

In just a few seconds, there was a calculation in my heart.

In order to achieve the purpose, some things must be accepted and must be changed.

Qu Xiran walked over naturally, with a slight pause in his steps, and his voice was clear and bright, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, good morning."

Then sit down.

He had a slight smile on his face, decent and generous.

The three smiled at him at the same time and nodded slightly.

The old man sitting next to Qu Xiran is the old man of the Zhang family. Although he is over seventy years old, he is strong and healthy. Every time he sees his beloved grandson, the majesty between his eyebrows will be washed away by a kind smile. .

The old man regularly goes to the nearby park at seven o'clock every morning to play Tai Chi and drink morning tea with his old friends, and rarely eats at home on weekdays.

Beside him is Zhang's father, with loose forehead hair combed up meticulously, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and smiling elegantly, full of bookishness.

How could the ruler of a wealthy family be so simple and harmless? Qu Xiran just glanced at him and then set his sights on the lady opposite, naturally and smoothly.

Zhang Xinran's mother is not considered beautiful, but she has a dignified and outstanding temperament. On Guazi's face, the two long curved eyebrows are drawn like ink pens, which makes people feel good.

As for the other two elder brothers, they only took a brief glance at him when he came, and then continued to taste the food on the plate, without showing any emotion, and did not intend to talk to him...

So Qu Xiran decided to ignore it.

The original version of Zhang Xinran should have done this, he didn't need to change anything.

Qu Xiran ate breakfast with everyone, and the restaurant fell into silence again.

It's not that the Zhang family must insist on not eating or sleeping, it's just that the old man who hasn't eaten at home for a long time suddenly showed his face on this day. Word.

Of course Qu Xiran was not included.

Now he is only thinking about how to earn more survival points and try to improve his ranking. It's a pity not to seize this great opportunity when the Zhang family gets together.

And only dialogue can judge the main and secondary plot characters, so that he can make some preparations for the next development in advance.

After making up his mind, Qu Xiran began to think of ways to gain a sense of presence.

He first spread some xylitol jam and skim butter on Zhang Xinran's favorite white bread, paused, and then put it on Mr. Zhang's plate without warning.

The old man originally ate a Chinese breakfast, with light side dishes and millet porridge that nourished the stomach, but suddenly there was a piece of bread that was smeared in a mess in front of him.

He turned his head slowly, and saw his little grandson eagerly looking at him, as if he had something to say.

"Xiao Ran?"

[Successful dialogue with important plot character 'Zhang Hengzhou', increase survival points by 1000] Important plot character!

1000 points!

There was a momentary blankness in Qu Xiran's mind, and it returned to normal in a moment. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Zhang with love in his eyes!

"Grandfather, you should try it too, this is delicious!"

The whole table seemed to be motionless.

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, looked down at the unattractive slice of bread, and at his grandson's innocent face, which was brighter than usual, laughed a few times, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will My son also changes tastes with Xiaoran."

Seeing that the old man was happy, the daughter-in-law, who was watching his words, also said, "Dad, let me just say that you didn't love Xiaoran in vain. This kid always misses you. Ever since he got a school scholarship at the end of the semester, he has been pestering me to ask you what you like most."

"Mom..." Qu Xiran's cheeks were hot and she lowered her eyes.

Zhang Xinran is not a person who concentrates on his studies, painting and secret love have taken a lot of his energy, so at most it is a last-tier scholarship, about 1000 or so.

Using 1000 yuan to buy a gift for a self-made business tycoon in the past is really overwhelming.

Mother Zhang smiled slightly when she heard the words: "What?"

"Please don't tell me." Qu Xiran's voice was as weak as a small animal.

Zhang Xinran doesn't like carrying cash, the card holder is full, but a cautious person like him would never use a number related to himself as a password...

Therefore, Qu Xiran is currently penniless.

[Successful dialogue with the ordinary plot character 'Yang Wanru', the survival points increased by 100] Seeing the embarrassment on the younger son's face, Zhang's mother turned her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Dad, look at this child is still shy."

The old man happily ate the bread, "Xiao Ran's skin has been thin for a day or two."

At this time, the heroic man on the left of Zhang's mother unexpectedly took the conversation, with a gentle and low voice: "Well, my younger brother is indeed very sensible after he went to college, and he knows how to honor his elders after he got a scholarship. We should praise him."

[Successful dialogue with the important plot character 'Zhang Xinyue', and the survival points increased by 1000] "Time flies so fast, even Xiao Ran went to college in a flash, I remember crawling all over the ground in such a small group before, grabbing With a pencil, I can fiddle with it all day without letting go." The other brother gestured twice in a serious manner, and there was not much smile on the face of the three-point portrait of Zhang's father.

[Successful dialogue with the ordinary character 'Zhang Xinlin', increased survival points by 100] "That's right, you all grew up in a blink of an eye." Mother Zhang said with a smile, she has always been a bowl of water to her sons.

No matter which one pleases the old man, it is a good thing for her.

After getting another 1000 points and 100 points, Qu Xiran's eyes flickered but there was no surprise, and he continued to slice the poached eggs gracefully and calmly.

There is only infinite sadness left in my heart.

Hey, these brothers who were born in a wealthy family can't stop eating.

The important plot character sitting in the middle should be Zhang Xinran's second brother. His words sounded like he was sighing unintentionally, but in fact he was alluding to something.

Is there anyone sitting here who is not Elder Zhang Xinran?

Don't be too obvious about mocking your younger brother's flattery.

In contrast, the other elder brother looked quite aristocratic, but he was just an ordinary plot character.

But in this way, he accumulated a total of 2300 points.

There was only one person at the table who hadn't spoken to Zhang's father yet. Qu Xiran turned his head slightly, half-closed his dark eyes, and was habitually lost in thought.

He felt that this man was not simple.

At this time, Father Zhang happened to look over, "Huh?"

[Successful dialogue with the ordinary character 'Zhang Hengfeng', survival points increased by 100] Qu Xiran, "..."

Ahem, this man is actually quite simple in some aspects.

After breakfast, Qu Xiran used the method of making fun of the old lady of the Qu family to curry favor with Mr. Zhang from time to time, and seized the opportunity to call the servant twice, successfully earning 200 points.

And the second elder brother of the Zhang family's several exaggerations and insinuations were all exposed by him without pain, and he did not respond clearly.

As an important plot character, Qu Xiran prefers to get along with Mr. Zhang.Although this grandfather is a bit strict and old-fashioned, he really loves his little grandson.

Qu Xiran didn't forget who made him fall into despair, and subconsciously felt disgusted with the word "Second Brother", and didn't want to call it out at all.

What's more, the relationship is not good in the first place, so what if I ignore you!

So Qu Xiran nodded to his parents, and generously helped the old man go to the garden to bask in the sun, without even giving a "charity" to his brothers.

Facing his dearest relatives, he once gave in firmly and thoroughly, but in the end it was such a tragic result...

Now that I know everyone is uneasy and well-intentioned, I would be an idiot if I let you easily bully me!

Midsummer is slightly drunk, the sun is dazzling, leaking through the leaves, slightly burning the skin.

The Zhang family's mansion is located deep in the villa area on the outskirts of City A. It is an independent courtyard. The main building is divided by the large koi pond in the center of the garden. The main building is the place where Zhang's family lives.

Looking at the auxiliary building, the building is densely covered with green vines, and the wooden door and window frames are antique, so it is difficult to infer anything from the outside.

But this building should be designed by Mr. Zhang himself.

Qu Xiran turned sideways to let the old man sit down first, and then obediently fell to the side, and handed him the tea cup that he had held all the way.

Both grandpa and grandson sat upright and did not speak for a while.

Such a peaceful and peaceful time made Qu Xiran a little dazed. He always felt that it was very unreal, but he was extremely greedy for every breath of fresh air he took.

The Zhang family has six members. After excluding himself, there are still two important plot characters and three ordinary people.

Among them, what Qu Xiran cares most about is Zhang's mother's surname——Yang.

Yang's family, Yang Wanru's natal family.

Yang Wenyuan, Zhang Xinran's cousin.

This kid actually likes his cousin!

And his cousin didn't like him very much.

Qu Xiran couldn't help stroking his forehead, and covered the glare of the sun with his hands.

Mr. Zhang's eyes were clear, and he said in a low voice: "Do you think it's sunburnt? Xiao Ran, you go back and play with yours. You don't need to deliberately accompany me, a bad old man."

"It's fine if I go back, just sit down and leave later." Qu Xiran had a faint smile on his fair and handsome face.

He's not afraid of the heat, he just finds it a little troublesome.

Having to clean up the mess left by an ex or something... is distressing.

Qu Xiran doesn't dislike homosexuality, but if the eldest and second son of the Zhang family find out about this situation, they might make a fuss about it.

The old man is a typical conservative, if he is stabbed in front of him with extra fuel, he will definitely have no good fruit.

Qu Xiran looked at the tough grandfather, and slowly looked away.

The old man acted as if he hadn't seen him, and suddenly said: "Of course, your uncle is back."

"Uncle." Uncle what.

Father Zhang has brothers?

The old man didn't know where to look, and continued to murmur: "I heard that it's been a few months since I came back, I don't know how to go home first, and even Xiaoran knows to prepare a gift for me... This damn wolf cub, It’s really worth raising him.”

Please don't mention the gift thing.

Qu Xiran cried out inwardly.

He didn't forget to hold the old man's hand, and said with an undiminished smile: "How can it be, my uncle must be busy with something and can't get away, let him apologize to grandfather later."

After hearing this, the old man was instantly happy, "Hehe, I think so too, I don't know what he's busy all day, everyone can forget about it."

Qu Xiran felt relieved and let out a sigh.

Bet right.

"I'm the one who has the most free time in our house..." Qu Xiran poked his finger as he had no money in hand.

What is the bank card password?

The old man smiled even more happily, "Grandpa raised it, so what are you afraid of?"

"Hmm..." Qu Xiran replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

The grandpa and grandson had a good atmosphere. At this time, they saw a black car driving into the gate from a distance.

Qu Xiran took a glance and then looked away, no matter who came, he didn't know him.

The old man next to him changed his expression in an instant, he squeezed the tea cup tightly with his big hands, and his legs trembled when he stood up.

The car stopped in front of the koi pond, and a slender and tall man with sunglasses got off, wearing a black jacket with a dark vest and black leather gloves.

He casually threw the car keys to the servant who came forward, and looked around blankly, finally locked on where Qu Xiran and the old man were.

Walking towards this side in stride.
