Seven years ago.
Ruan Danchen was only 19 years old this year, a second-year student of A University.
On Friday, after finishing her classes during the day, she went straight home from school. Calling it home was actually quite forceful.
The neighborhood they were living in now was not particularly high-end, but the environment and other facilities were considered good. According to the housing prices in B City, people who could afford to buy a house here could be considered to have some foundation.
Ruan Danchen came out of the elevator, took out the key and opened the door. Before she entered, she saw a pair of exquisite and expensive men's leather shoes at the entrance.
Her heart sank slightly. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she was stopped by someone. "Danchen, you're back. Come in quickly."
Ruan Danchen let out a light sigh. She looked up and saw Liu Ronghua walking over with a particularly warm and concerned smile on her face. Her mood was much better than usual.
Every time Shen Jialiang came over, Liu Ronghua's mood would be particularly good. Shen Jialiang did not come particularly frequently, nor did he come regularly. He would come about three or four times a month.
From the time Ruan Danchen could remember, she had no impression of her biological father. After she became sensible, she asked Liu Ronghua about it. At that time, Liu Ronghua's expression changed slightly and was a little sad, as if she had fallen into the memory of her father. Then, she said lightly that her father had passed away a long time ago.
Since then, she followed Liu Ronghua and the mother and daughter depended on each other.
It was not too accurate to say that they depended on each other. Liu Ronghua had never stopped looking for boyfriends. Liu Ronghua also had a marriage before, but it ended in divorce because the man really could not stand Liu Ronghua's excessive dependence.
It could be said that Liu Ronghua only had the most basic ability to take care of herself in life. She did not know anything else and had to rely on her man for everything. The other party was a good person and treated her very well. It was just that because living with Liu Ronghua was too stressful, they could only divorce in the end.
Liu Ronghua was very good-looking. Even though she was now 40 years old, because she was good at taking care of herself and had a good foundation, she still looked like she was in her twenties or thirties. Her skin was thin and white, and her figure was like a young girl's. She did not look like she had given birth at all. Therefore, when they did not understand each other, there were really many men who liked her and chased after her.
Later, Liu Ronghua found a few boyfriends one after another, but they could not get married. It was also because after spending some time together, they understood her personality and felt that it was too tiring, so they broke up.
Then, when Ruan Danchen was in the third year of junior high, Liu Ronghua got to know Shen Jialiang. The Shen family in B City could also be considered as a big family. They had a high status and had a close relationship with many families. In terms of status, they were on par with the Li Clan and the Guan Clan.
Shen Jialiang had also lost his wife for many years. Under an accidental opportunity, he got to know Liu Ronghua. In this way, he got together with Liu Ronghua.
Because Shen Jialiang's family background was there, even if Liu Ronghua's living ability was lacking, Shen Jialiang would instruct his subordinates to handle it with just one sentence. He didn't need to handle it himself, so he didn't feel that Liu Ronghua was too troublesome.
Their relationship lasted until Song Yu went to university. However, Shen Jialiang had never mentioned the matter of marrying Liu Ronghua. For so many years, Liu Ronghua had not even entered the Shen family's door.
In fact, Shen Jialiang was not a prodigal son in love. He was especially fond of the new and tired of the old. He just needed a fixed female companion to solve his needs, and occasionally chat to relieve his boredom. If there was an occasion where he needed to bring a female companion, he would bring the woman out. It was not necessary for the female companion to have a high level of knowledge and literacy. It was enough to be a vase on the side and not speak, and smile with everyone at the right time.
Liu Ronghua could also meet these conditions. Therefore, in these years, Shen Jialiang did not say that he wanted to break up with her. Instead, he bought her such a house with two bedrooms and two living rooms for Liu Ronghua to live in.
It was just that because the two had been together for a long time, Shen Jialiang was not as tolerant to Liu Ronghua as he used to be. The number of times he came to find Liu Ronghua was also less.
Originally, he could come to Liu Ronghua four or five times a week. Later, it became four or five times in two weeks. Now, occasionally showing up two or three times a month was already diligent. It could make Liu Ronghua happy.
Because of this, Liu Ronghua herself was also anxious. She was afraid that Shen Jialiang would meet another woman in the future and seduce her, and then he would completely ignore her.
These years, under Shen Jialiang's wings, she was also carefree and had been used to it.
Without marriage as a guarantee, Liu Ronghua became more and more insecure. Every time Ruan Danchen came back from school, she would listen to Liu Ronghua talk about this kind of thing. She would sigh, and it also made Ruan Danchen a little afraid to come back and face Liu Ronghua.
And this house, for Ruan Danchen, was really not a home.
"Mom, Uncle Shen." Ruan Danchen faintly called. She entered the door and changed into slippers.
Shen Jialiang nodded coldly. In the past, when Shen Jialiang particularly liked Liu Ronghua, he was very cold to Ruan Danchen. He was quite annoyed with her, who was a burden.
Especially since she met Liu Ronghua, her tuition was paid by Shen Jialiang. From Shen Jialiang, it could be seen that he felt that Ruan Danchen owed him.
"I will go back to the room to put my bag." Ruan Danchen whispered and did not look at Shen Jialiang.
"You come and sit first." Shen Jialiang took advantage of his voice and said coldly.
"Danchen, come and sit first. Your Uncle Shen has something to discuss with you." Liu Ronghua pulled Ruan Danchen's arm and said softly. There was still a flattering smile on her face, which was very unusual.
Ruan Danchen looked at Liu Ronghua, and her eyes were hesitant and suspicious. She glanced at Shen Jialiang's face, then she took her bag down and put it on the sofa, and sat next to her.
Liu Ronghua sat in the middle of Shen Jialiang and Ruan Danchen and laughed. "Today, your Uncle Shen came because there is something he wants to ask you for help."
Ruan Danchen could not think of an ordinary woman like her, who had to rely on Shen Jialiang to support her, how could she help Shen Jialiang.
"It's like this." Liu Ronghua explained, paused, and seemed to find it a little difficult to speak. "You know, your Uncle Shen has a daughter named Shen Zhijing."
Ruan Danchen did not comment, and there was no reaction. She listened quietly.
Liu Ronghua felt as if she was talking to herself. She was a little embarrassed and could only continue to say: "Your Uncle Shen intends to let Zhijing marry the second young master of the Qi family. Now the Qi family is in the wait-and-see stage, but … but when Zhijing was studying abroad, she accidentally got pregnant and had an abortion. But because of this, she could not have children in the future. If they really get married, this matter will not be covered up sooner or later."
Ruan Danchen suddenly pursed her lips. She vaguely guessed some of Shen Jialiang's purpose, but she felt that it was inconceivable. What was even more inconceivable was that Liu Ronghua actually came forward to say this. She was her mother!
"What does this have to do with me? I have no way to make Shen Zhijing pregnant. "Ruan Danchen said indifferently.
Shen Jialiang suddenly put the teacup on the coffee table heavily, and the "bang" sound shocked Liu Ronghua. Ruan Danchen's heart also thumped, and her face changed slightly.
"It's not that it doesn't matter, I just want to ask you for a favor. Zhijing will be half a sister to you in the future. "Liu Ronghua said in a particularly flattering tone." It's like this. Next Saturday, Qi Chenglin will go to the Shen family for dinner, and he will find a way to let him stay in the Shen family in the evening. Your Uncle Shen hopes that you … "
Liu Ronghua sucked her lips and said with difficulty: "He hopes that you can replace Zhijing and go with Qi Chenglin … to find a way to conceive his child. Of course, you will still go as Zhijing. The child you give birth to in the future will also be regarded as Zhijing's. You will have nothing to do with this matter anymore, and you will not be affected. As for Zhijing, she will first get engaged to Qi Chenglin, and then find an excuse to wait for Mr. Shen to give birth to a child before getting married. In this way, the Qi family will not find out. "
Ruan Danchen was shocked speechless. Her heart was indescribably sad, and her eyes were filled with a sense of sourness and warmth. She looked at Liu Ronghua with trembling eyes. She never thought that she would say such a thing.
"Mom, I am your daughter. This is not an ordinary surrogacy. It is asking me to sleep with a strange man directly. What is the difference between this and selling me! What conditions did the Shen family promise you to make you agree to such an unreasonable thing! " Ruan Danchen's voice was choked with sobs, and the sourness and warmth in her eyes became heavier and heavier. In the end, her eyes couldn't hold it anymore, and tears fell down.
Liu Ronghua lowered her head guiltily, glanced at Shen Jialiang, and pulled Ruan Danchen up. "Let's go back to the room and talk."
Ruan Danchen cried silently, but her tears fell more and more heavily. She broke away from Liu Ronghua's hand, and Liu Ronghua lowered her head guiltily. Ruan Danchen walked in front of her and entered the bedroom first.
