"We've already found Mu Huaisheng. He's in Ming Yang now and he's on his way. We won't let Mu Sisi frame you," Song Yu said as he took out a tissue from his bag to wipe Ruan Danchen's tears.
Lawyer Song had already finished the paperwork and was holding Ruan Danchen's phone in his hand.
Ruan Danchen was talking to Song Yu and wasn't in a good mood, so Lawyer Song didn't disturb her. Qi Chenglin took Ruan Danchen's phone and put it away.
"Get in the car first," Qi Chenglin said calmly.
After leaving the police station, Lawyer Song left first. Song Yu supported Ruan Danchen and promised, "Don't worry about this, you'll be fine."
Ruan Danchen nodded and they walked to the front of the car. Song Yu wanted to sit in the back seat with Ruan Danchen but Qi Chengzhi pulled him over and squeezed in the back with her, letting Ruan Danchen sit in the front passenger seat.
Qi Chengzhi called the old mansion and said that everything was done and he would go back.
Ruan Danchen noticed that Qi Chenglin didn't drive in the direction of her house and wondered if she should send Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi back to the old mansion first, so she said, "Just drop me off in front."
Qi Chenglin glanced at her calmly and didn't say anything, nor did he stop the car.
"Come back to the old mansion with us," Song Yu said from the back.
"How can I do that!" Ruan Danchen was shocked. "This is your family gathering, what's wrong with me going?"
"Do you want me to let you go home and let my imagination run wild?" Before Ruan Danchen could retort, Song Yu said, "Before we left, Old Madam told us to bring you back with us. It'll be livelier with more people, so don't let your imagination run wild."
Ruan Danchen was hesitating when Qi Chenglin glanced at her and said calmly, "When we left, Youxuan insisted on following us but was stopped by his family, so he waited at home."
At the mention of Qi Youxuan, Ruan Danchen clenched her fists and didn't object anymore.
The Tykat stopped in front of the old mansion and got out of the car. Ruan Danchen followed Qi Chenglin into the yard, extremely nervous. She kept taking deep breaths, but it didn't improve.
As he was walking, the door suddenly opened and a small figure dashed out like a ball. "Back —"
Qi Youxuan rushed out, and his stepmother nearly blurted out. Fortunately, he stopped himself in time and ran to Ruan Danchen. His face was a little red, and he raised his small hand to grab Ruan Danchen's hand. Then, he turned his head away in embarrassment and smiled foolishly.
"…" Qi Chenglin looked at the little fatty speechlessly. Why was he so shy?
"Aunt Ruan, I heard that you were framed by bad people. Are you okay?" Qi Youxuan looked up and asked.
Ruan Danchen looked at the sincere concern on his face and the pair of black grape-like eyes that were clear and beautiful. She didn't regret coming.
She shook her head. "I'm fine."
"Come on in. We've prepared a table full of dishes." Qi Youxuan said. He took Ruan Danchen's hand and walked into the house. As he walked, he introduced, "Auntie Ruan, you should come here often when you have nothing to do. Great Grandpa and Great Grandma are usually very bored at home, so they can only quarrel to pass the time."
The old master: "…"
Old Madam: "…"
"What nonsense is this brat talking about!" The old master blew at his beard and glared.
Ruan Danchen was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. She could only touch Qi Youxuan's hair. He didn't do any styling today, and his soft hair was obedient on his head, making him look like a small watermelon.
"Little Ruan, are you hungry?" Old Madam asked as she held Ruan Danchen's hand affectionately.
"Not hungry." Ruan Danchen said. It was almost one o 'clock now, but after what she had experienced at the police station and smelled vomit for so long, her stomach still felt uncomfortable and she didn't have much of an appetite. "I'm sorry that I delayed your meal because of me."
"No, no. I haven't been idle all morning. I ate so many snacks, so I'm not hungry now. Aunt Liu went to cook. It'll be ready in about half an hour," Old Madam said. "Come and eat some snacks to fill your stomach."
Everyone sat down, and Qi Chengzhi explained the situation.
Qi Chengyue pursed her lips. "That Mu Sisi is really something. It's rare to see someone as shameless as her."
Everyone chatted on this topic for a while. Qi Chengyue saw that Qi Youxuan was unusually quiet. He didn't eat anything and just sat on the carpet. She didn't know what he was looking at.
Didn't Qi Youxuan want Ruan Danchen to be his stepmother?
Now that his stepmother was here, it wouldn't be in this little fatty's character if he didn't hurry and stick to her!
Qi Chengyue found it strange. She threw down the melon seeds in her hand and quietly walked over. She bent down behind Qi Youxuan to take a closer look. Only then did she realize that this little fatty was actually reading a fashion magazine, and this page happened to be children's clothing.
The little model on the cover was a little mixed-race boy. He was especially handsome, with deep eyes and a high nose. He had short brown hair and was wearing a handsome baseball shirt.
"Do you recognize these words? You look so serious, "Qi Chengyue asked.
"Aiya!" Qi Youxuan was startled by the sudden voice. He threw away the impurities in his hand and turned to look at Qi Chengyue. The chubby little white hand patted his chest as he said, "Auntie, why are you scaring me from behind?"
"…" Qi Chengyue pursed her lips. "Am I scaring you? Even your voice is so soft. What are you so focused on? You don't even understand the words. "
Qi Youxuan grabbed the magazine that had fallen to the ground and flipped it back to the previous page. He got up from the ground, dragged his little bum drum, and eagerly went to find Ruan Danchen.
He ran to Ruan Danchen's side and was about to climb onto the sofa when Ruan Danchen moved to the side and carried the little guy up.
Qi Youxuan pointed at the little male model in the magazine and said, "Auntie Ruan, do you think this hairstyle looks good?"
He touched his hair, feeling that his current hair was too unimposing.
Ruan Danchen looked at the little male model in the magazine seriously. It turned out that he had been focused on thinking about this matter just now. Ruan Danchen turned to look at Qi Youxuan and pondered seriously.
Her gaze fell from his soft hair to his eyes, and then to his nose and mouth. Although his little face was a little round, his facial features were very exquisite. Ruan Danchen felt that Qi Youxuan was much better looking than the little models in the magazine.
His pair of eyes …
"Auntie Ruan?" Qi Youxuan tugged at Ruan Danchen's sleeve.
Ruan Danchen came back to her senses and looked at the magazine again before saying, "This hairstyle seems to be quite easy to take care of. It suits you very well."
"That's great!" Qi Youxuan said directly to Qi Chenglin, "Dad, take me to the barber at the intersection this afternoon to get this haircut!"
"Whether it looks good or not has nothing to do with the hairstyle. The key is still the face," Qi Chenglin said mercilessly.
"Who asked me to take after you? I can't help it." Qi Youxuan turned his head to the side angrily. His little body leaned heavily back on the sofa, and he covered his face with the magazine, sulking.
Just as he was waiting for someone to comfort him, someone gently pinched his arm. The strength was especially gentle, so gentle that Qi Youxuan was almost intoxicated.
So he didn't avoid it, but he didn't take the magazine away either. He really wanted to feel this gentleness.
Then, she felt the magazine covering her face being lifted up a little, but it was not completely removed.
Ruan Danchen leaned over and also used the magazine to cover her face. She said softly, "I think it suits you very well. After you get a haircut, send me a photo."
Qi Youxuan turned his head and blinked before saying, "Don't lie to me. I don't have your phone number."
Ruan Danchen smiled and reached into her pocket to search for her phone out of habit. However, there was nothing there. "Aiya, I left my phone at the police station. Those people didn't return it to me."
Unexpectedly, Qi Youxuan looked at her suspiciously. "I'm young. Don't lie to me. If you don't want to give it to me, then don't. Can't you just tell me the truth? You adults are just so hypocritical. "
"…" Ruan Danchen was a little anxious when she saw Qi Youxuan's distrustful expression. "It's true. It's just a phone number. Why wouldn't I give it to you?"
"What are you two talking about?" Qi Chenglin's voice, which seemed to have a natural habit of ridiculing, rang out. It seemed to be especially close to them.
Before Ruan Danchen could react, the magazine was taken away.
She turned her head but only saw Qi Chenglin's pants zipper. He stood tall with one hand holding the magazine and the other in his pocket, making the zipper look a little tight.
Ruan Danchen's face instantly burned. She stammered, and her mouth was frighteningly hot. It was as if she could spit fire if she opened her mouth.
She quickly looked away. Qi Youxuan said, "Auntie Ruan said she left her phone at the police station."
Ruan Danchen felt Qi Chenglin's gaze land on her face. She immediately felt her cheeks burn. It took her a lot of effort to muster the courage to raise her head. However, when she saw Qi Chenglin's elegant and handsome face, she stammered, "When … When I was brought to the police station, they … confiscated my phone. They didn't return it to me when they left. I forgot about it at that time."
Qi Chenglin snorted and took out his hand from his pocket. There was a phone in his hand. "How unprofessional do you think our Qi Lin's lawyer is? How could he not handle this kind of thing?"
Ruan Danchen looked at the phone in shock. His long fingers were right in front of her. They were slender and beautiful.
Ruan Danchen carefully took the phone, afraid to touch his hand. She lowered her head and thanked him. The phone was snatched away by Qi Youxuan.
His two small hands held the big screen of the phone. It seemed especially small. His whole palm was not even as big as the screen of the phone. He held the phone with both hands. When he entered the number with his thumb, he couldn't touch the middle digit. So he held the phone with one hand and dialed the number with the other.
After he finished dialing, he muttered his phone number and checked it again. Then, he pressed the dial button and returned the phone to Ruan Danchen. "Remember my phone number."
After saying that, the little guy climbed down from the sofa and ran to his room in the old house. He took out the chinchilla shaped phone from his little yellow duck bag. Only then did he remember that it was only a children's phone. It couldn't take pictures at all.
Qi Chenglin saw Qi Youxuan rushing out and said, "Dad, give me a phone for an adult!"
"Why did you change it?" Qi Chenglin asked. He took the children's phone from his hand and checked it. "It's not broken!"
"It can't take pictures." Qi Youxuan twisted his round belly. "Auntie Ruan said that I should send her a picture after I change my hairstyle."
Qi Chenglin glanced at Ruan Danchen and returned the phone to Qi Youxuan. "Children don't use adult phones. Just use this one."
"Then I can't take pictures, can I?" Qi Youxuan protested. "Why can't you see a woman appreciate me?"
Qi Chenglin: "…"
"Do you think I'm younger than you, so you're jealous of my youth?" Qi Youxuan stretched his neck and said on tiptoe.
"That's enough!" Qi Chenglin's face darkened. What the hell was this? What was there to be jealous of just his little chili pepper?
"Youxuan, how about this? After you get a haircut, ask your aunt to take a picture for you. Aren't we colleagues? Can't she just show it to me? " Ruan Danchen said hurriedly. She was afraid that Qi Youxuan would really quarrel with Qi Chenglin. What if Qi Chenglin got angry and hit him?
Qi Youxuan wasn't satisfied with this method because he wanted to send the picture to Ruan Danchen as soon as possible.
But now it seemed that this was the only way. Qi Youxuan could only reluctantly nod and agree.
"Give me her number," Qi Chenglin suddenly said.
Qi Youxuan didn't understand. Qi Chenglin's words didn't make sense. After thinking for a long time, Qi Youxuan asked uncertainly, "Dad, whose number do you want? Auntie Ruan's?"
"What do you think?" Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows. "After you get a haircut, I'll take a picture for you and send it to her."
"No —" Ruan Danchen refused, but the father and son ignored her.
Qi Youxuan sold Ruan Danchen's number to Qi Chenglin without hesitation.
Qi Chenglin wrote down Ruan Danchen's phone number. Ruan Danchen received a call from an unfamiliar number.
Ruan Danchen picked it up curiously. "Hello?"
"Is it fun to talk to the phone in the same room?" Qi Chenglin's voice came from the phone, overlapping with his own voice.
"…" Ruan Danchen looked up and saw Qi Chenglin holding the phone to his ear, looking at her with a mocking face.
Ruan Danchen hung up the phone speechlessly. Since they were in the same room, why was he talking to the phone?
"Write down the number. Don't think it's a scam." Qi Chenglin pointed at the phone in Ruan Danchen's hand with his chin.
Ruan Danchen could only silently save the number and write down Qi Chenglin's name. She felt that the development of the situation was a bit strange. She didn't know how it had developed to this point. Why did she exchange phone numbers with Qi Chenglin?
The old lady's shrewd eyes looked back and forth between Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen. Suddenly, she got up and said, "Aunt Liu, why isn't the meal ready yet? I'll go take a look."
Then she slipped into the kitchen and looked at the situation in the living room from the kitchen door.
"Old Madam, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Liu patted the old lady's shoulder from behind. Seeing that the old lady was investigating in her own home, she didn't know what was going on.
"Shh!" The old lady turned around and put her index finger to her lips, signaling for Aunt Liu to lower her voice. "Don't worry about me."
The old lady took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.
When Song Yu heard the phone ring, she took it out and saw that it was the old lady's phone call. What was the old lady playing at in the kitchen?
She picked it up, but before she could call out "Grandma", the old lady said, "Don't call me. Come to the kitchen quickly. Don't let people suspect you!"
Song Yu hung up and found an excuse, saying that she was going to the kitchen to take a look. Since she didn't need any help, she quickly went to the kitchen.
Just as she stepped through the kitchen door, the old lady grabbed her and pulled her to the side. "Song Yu, why do I feel that there's something wrong between Chenglin and Xiao Ruan? It seems like there's something going on. When have I ever seen Chenglin talk to a woman like this? "
Song Yu had never seen Qi Chenglin talk to a woman like this, but it was indeed not like Qi Chenglin's usual attitude.
"Do you think Chenglin has a crush on her?" the old lady asked hopefully.
"…" Song Yu said uncertainly, "If he has a crush on Danchen, why is his mouth so poisonous?"
The old lady thought about it and said uncertainly, "Maybe that's the way he likes a girl."
The more the old lady thought about it, the more hopeful she felt. "I think this is a good idea. Although his mouth is poisonous, didn't he poison the girl's phone number? Call Xiao Ruan over more in the future and create more opportunities for Chenglin. "
Song Yu nodded. Regardless of whether Qi Chenglin was interested in Ruan Danchen or not, Qi Chenglin was a good person. She would feel at ease introducing him to Ruan Danchen, so she agreed happily.
"Actually, when Danchen rejected me, I wanted to introduce Chenglin to her," Song Yu said.
"That's why I said that this is fate that can't be stopped. Look, although she rejected me, the two of them still met in the end, right? " The old lady said happily, "Oh my, today's happy events come one after another. Chengyue has found a good man, and Chenglin's matter has also made progress. All that's left is Chengji."
After the two of them finished their discussion, Aunt Liu's meal was also prepared.
After everyone finished eating, Qi Chengzhi received a call from Chu Zhaoyang.
After hanging up, Qi Chengzhi glanced at everyone and said, "Guan Xiaolin's uterus is infected, and now it's confirmed that she's infertile."
"How could this be?" Guan Liya asked in surprise.
Although Guan Xiaolin had done something wrong to Qi Chengyue, she had aborted the child, so she would never have a future with Jian Yi. She was even with the Qi family.
Also, if it wasn't for this, Qi Chengyue might not have been able to make up her mind, and it would be impossible for her to be with Cheng Dongge. It was a blessing in disguise.
As for the other things, Guan Liya didn't really intend to force Guan Xiaolin into a corner.
Moreover, Guan Liya was also a woman and a mother. She knew what infertility meant to a woman. This result was too serious, so she wouldn't gloat over it.
"It was Zhou Mingyan. I don't know how she found out, but Guan Xiaolin aborted the child and went to the hospital to make a scene. Guan Xiaolin had just had an operation and couldn't get out of bed. Zhou Mingyan dragged Guan Xiaolin to the ground and beat her severely. Guan Xiaolin had never suffered like this before. She caught a cold and got a fever, and in the end … "
"That Zhou Mingyan is too much! No wonder she came to our door this morning and knelt down to beg us. She caused such a big trouble, and she still has the nerve to ask us for help, "Guan Liya said angrily. How could there be such a person?
"How is Guan Xiaolin now?" Song Yu asked as he refilled everyone's teacups.
"She still doesn't know. Her parents are hiding it from her. The Guan family has already asked the lawyer to sue," Qi Chengzhi said.
…
…
Because they ate lunch late, it was already past three o 'clock by the time they finished eating. No one was hungry at night, so Aunt Liu cooked a bowl of noodles for everyone.
When they left at night, Ruan Danchen left with Song Yu.
