Although Lin Ru was sitting at another table with Yang Jingxian and the others, her eyes were fixed on Tang Xi. Seeing Tang Xi chatting happily with her brothers and cousins, she suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Why were they so nice to Rourou even though they weren't her relatives? Why were her parents so cruel? Today was Rourou's birthday, but none of her relatives came to celebrate with her … Lin Ru lowered her head and her heart was full of mixed emotions.
Yang Jingxian, who was sitting beside Lin Ru, was the first to notice Lin Ru's emotions. After getting along with Lin Ru these days, Yang Jingxian found that Lin Ru was actually a very kind person. In order to protect herself, she had to disguise herself and let others think she was tough. In fact, she was actually more fragile because she had been hurt too much …
Yang Jingxian patted Lin Ru's shoulder, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, let's go and have a look at the pigeon soup we made. Rourou has suffered a lot since she was a child. She should drink more pigeon soup."
Lin Ru paused and then saw Yang Jingxian winking at her. She nodded with a smile and said to General Yang, "General, you should have some pigeon soup later. Jingxian and I brought it back from the farm today. It's not fed."
"Okay, thank you." Old General Yang actually found Lin Ru more pleasing to the eye than before, and inexplicably felt that she was more polite?
Lin Ru smiled. "No, but Jingxian is tired. She has to teach me how to cook and cook by herself. Let's go and have a look at the soup."
Yang Jingchao and Yuan Lihua exchanged a glance, raised their eyebrows, and tacitly kept silent and continued to eat.
Lin Ru and Yang Jingxian went to the kitchen and leaned against the wall beside the kitchen. She took a deep breath and looked at Yang Jingxian sadly. "Jingxian, am I very useless?"
Yang Jingxian frowned when she heard Lin Ru's words. "Sister-in-law, how can you say that? You are the hero of our Xiao Family. If it weren't for you, the Xiao Family wouldn't have developed so well. "
Lin Ru gave a bleak smile. "I'm not talking about that. I mean, even your father and brother came to celebrate Rourou's birthday today, but I … my family separated me from Rourou for so many years and even tried to kill us. Every time I think of this, I feel suffocated."
Yang Jingxian looked at Lin Ru with pity. She pursed her lips, walked over and hugged Lin Ru, comforting her in a low voice. "Don't think too much. Those people are not your relatives. Didn't Rourou find out? They are not your family, so don't be so sad. "
"But if that's the case, I won't have any family left." Lin Ru choked with sobs. "Every time I think of this, I wish I were dead. Why is God doing this to me?"
Yang Jingxian pursed her lips, looked at Lin Ru and gently patted Lin Ru's back. "Sister-in-law, you still have us. Xiao Yan and Rourou are your closest relatives. You gave birth to them after ten months of pregnancy. How can you not have any relatives?"
"Well, don't cry. Let's clean up. Rourou has been living at home every day recently. She eats well and even her complexion looks better. We have to work harder and let Rourou drink more soup to make up for her health as soon as possible. Otherwise, she will be busier in the future and will definitely lose weight. I'm afraid the wind will blow her away."
Although Lin Ru was sad, she knew she couldn't lose her composure in front of others. She quickly composed herself, wiped away her tears and walked to the front hall with Yang Jingxian, each carrying a bowl of soup.
Because the old house was garden-style, the kitchen was far from the front hall. As they walked, Lin Ru didn't look like she had been crying.
But when they came back, they found the atmosphere in the front hall was not right. Yang Jingxian frowned and looked at Xiao Hongli, who took a look at her and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the butler said … Mr. Lin is looking for you. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Lin Ru's heart skipped a beat, but then she thought of something else, but …
She smiled at the others. "I'll go and have a look. You can eat first." Then she said to Tang Xi, "Rourou, drink more soup."
Tang Xi frowned, asked Xiao Jing to serve her some soup and stood up. "I'll go with you. The soup is too hot to drink."
Xiao Hongyi also stood up, apologized to the Yang Family and followed them out. Xiao Yan watched them go out and followed them. General Yang frowned as he watched them go out. "Haven't you found Lin Ru's family?"
Grandpa Xiao frowned and sighed. "That's easier said than done."
Lin Ru was almost fifty years old now. Decades had passed, so it was not easy for her to find her family.
Tang Xi's family of four came to the gate of the Xiao Family, only to see Lin Ruozhi standing alone at the gate of the Xiao Family. His back was trembling, which made people sympathize with him. Of course, Tang Xi wouldn't sympathize with him at all, because what he was suffering now was his own doing. It was very generous of them not to put Lin Ruozhi in jail with them.
Lin Ru couldn't bear to see Lin Ruozhi like this, but she remained expressionless and clenched her fists. At this moment, Lin Ruozhi turned around and saw Lin Ru. He took two steps forward but suddenly realized something and stopped. Lin Ru looked at Lin Ruozhi and clenched her fists even tighter. She frowned and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Ah Ru, the Spring Festival is coming, but the police won't allow me to visit your mother. Today is Jinning's birthday. Can you … let me see them?"
"What does her birthday have to do with me?" Lin Ru originally had a little hope, but when she heard Lin Ruozhi's words, her hope was completely extinguished. Her affection for Lin Ruozhi also disappeared in an instant. "Besides, Tao Yan committed a crime of serious injury, so as long as I'm here, don't even think about seeing them!"
"Ah Ru!" Lin Ruozhi looked helplessly at Lin Ru and sighed. "For the sake of my old age, can't you …"
"Then tell me, who are my biological parents? As long as you tell me, I'll let you see them. " Lin Ru was still nervous when she said this. She was wondering if Lin Ruozhi would tell her about her biological parents.
Lin Ruozhi's face changed. He took a deep look at Lin Ru and finally shook his head. "Forget it. You must be busy. I'm leaving."
