The old lady sighed. She didn't know if her head was starting to hurt again. She rubbed her temples again. "Who would have thought that things would turn out like this?"
Guan Liya looked at Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen.
When Qi Chenglin brought Ruan Danchen to the washroom, the old lady took the opportunity to ask Guan Liya and Qi Zhongxun for their opinion. Now that they knew about Ruan Danchen's background, what were they thinking?
"Mom, I really don't know." Guan Liya's head was heavy. "Although Danchen is an orphan now and doesn't have any background, she can be considered to have a clean background."
She didn't have any relatives. Her background couldn't be any cleaner.
"But in the end, she has a mother-daughter relationship with Liu Ronghua. Tonight, she came to make a scene. We all know what kind of person she is. Danchen is a good child, but Liu Ronghua … "Guan Liya didn't want to mention the Shen family. She felt that it was humiliating to say it.
"Also, if we say that she is an orphan and has a complicated relationship with Liu Ronghua, it won't be a good reputation." Guan Liya looked at Qi Zhongxun in a dilemma. She shook her head. Her mind was in a mess. "I don't know either. Zhongxun, what do you think?"
"Don't ask him. I just want to ask you. Regardless of Danchen's background, do you like her?" the old man asked.
"Danchen has no problem. She is a good child. I can see that she is good to Chenglin and You Xuan. Most importantly, Chenglin likes her too. If there was no problem with Liu Ronghua and the Shen family, I would be 100% willing, "Guan Liya said.
Qi Zhongxun nodded. "I don't care about family background now. As long as she is a good person and has a clean background, it's fine."
The old lady nodded and said, "According to what you said, Danchen is an orphan and has a clean background. There shouldn't be any problem."
"Mom, you …" Guan Liya looked at the old man and the old lady hesitantly.
Before she could finish, Qi Chenglin led Ruan Danchen out.
Ruan Danchen apologized to them. The old lady saw that she was dejected and forced herself to cheer up. Her heart ached. She was so young but her background was so pitiful.
"Danchen, do you have anything to say? You go first, "the old lady said in a kind tone.
Ruan Danchen didn't know what to say. She looked at the people of the Qi family. Qi Chengzhi and Qi Chengji didn't have any reaction. Their expressions were still indifferent. Song Yu nodded at her encouragingly. Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna felt that this was Qi Zhongxun's family matter, and it wasn't appropriate for them to meddle in it, so they didn't raise any opinions or show any emotions.
"I … I don't know what else I can say. I'm sorry for keeping my mother from you. I'm sorry for what happened tonight. Other than saying sorry, I really don't have the face to say anything else. I don't even have the face to say sorry. If … if you think I'm not good enough for Chenglin, I'll … "
Before Ruan Danchen could finish, she was interrupted by Qi Chenglin's angry shout, "Danchen!"
Ruan Danchen stopped talking. Her heart trembled and she didn't dare to look at him.
This was the first time Qi Chenglin had spoken to her so harshly. His voice was even angry at her.
Ruan Danchen lowered her head, knowing that it was all her fault.
"I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" Ruan Danchen said in a low voice. "If only you hadn't met me, then there wouldn't have been so much trouble. It's all my fault. It's all my fault that you have so many grievances. "
"Stop talking!" Qi Chenglin said in a deep voice.
He raised his head and looked at the old master, the old lady, and his parents. "Back then, you were the ones who asked me about Danchen. I didn't lie about anything else, but about her mother, I lied. I was wrong in this matter, and it had nothing to do with Danchen. I said it before she did, so she couldn't retort. Indeed, I lied because if I told the truth, because of Liu Ronghua's relationship with the Shen family, you wouldn't have accepted her so quickly. You would always look at her with a barrier and magnify some small mistakes. Deep down, you still don't like her. "
"Before you knew that her mother was Liu Ronghua, didn't you all like her very much?" Qi Chenglin said lightly. "Originally, I investigated Liu Ronghua because I wanted to get more information on her and the Shen family so that they wouldn't pester Danchen. That way, she would be able to marry me without any burden. I didn't expect that I would find out that Liu Ronghua wasn't her biological mother. Don't talk about the gratitude of raising her. I won't talk about what Liu Ronghua did to Danchen. Anyway, Danchen is completely worthy of her gratitude for raising her. "
"You child." The old lady shook her head and said helplessly, "Anyway, Danchen is an orphan now. Her family is really clean."
The old lady waved her hand. "Forget it. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with Danchen's character. We can't interfere with the feelings of you young people. There's nothing special about that Shen family. If we really cause trouble, we're not afraid of her. "
Ruan Danchen looked at the old lady in surprise. "Grandma …"
The old lady sighed, her gaze gentle. "You're also a pitiful child. We don't have the right to blame you for this. This is something you can't control. What's important is that Chenglin likes you. This child has never liked anyone for so many years. It's rare that he's so concerned about you. Youxuan likes you too. What's important is that you young people can live a good life. That's enough. "
Ruan Danchen had long been prepared for the Qi family's objection, but she didn't expect the old lady to be so open-minded.
The old man was drinking tea at the side. The corner of his mouth curled up. He looked at the old lady and didn't say anything.
"But you have to be mentally prepared. If the Shen family doesn't want to see you do well, you can't underestimate those slanderous rumors," the old lady said.
Ruan Danchen nodded. "I know. But what if the Qi family gets implicated?"
"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like we haven't experienced it before," Qi Chenglin said first.
The old man coughed angrily and glared at him.
"Alright, alright. This matter is over," the old lady said. "Wen Na, turn up the volume on the TV. Aiyo, the Shen family made a fuss. Cai Ming's skit is over. "
Ruan Danchen didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She couldn't believe that it was true. She turned to look at Qi Chenglin.
Qi Chenglin smiled gently at her and said in a low voice, "Didn't I say? Don't worry. "
"Dad, can I go out now?" Xia Wenna was turning up the volume on the TV when she heard Qi Youxuan shouting.
Only then did everyone remember that Qi Youxuan was still in his room.
"I'll bring him out," Ruan Danchen said. When she got up, Qi Chenglin also got up. He didn't say anything, but he wanted to go with her.
While the two of them were gone, Guan Liya's lips moved. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Dad, Mom, you guys really …"
The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't stop Chengzhi and Song Yu. When it comes to Chenglin and Danchen, I won't stop them either. This is the children's business. It has nothing to do with their identity or background. If Danchen was the child of an ordinary family, you wouldn't have any objections. Why do you have objections now? You can just treat it as having a bad in-law. Isn't that enough? Besides, since Danchen has nothing to do with Liu Ronghua and the Shen family now, those people can forget about pestering us. It's rare that both Chenglin and Youxuan like Danchen. It's not like we're afraid of the Shen family. Are we going to spoil our children's marriage because of the ant-like Shen family? You too, don't look at other things when it comes to relationships. Just look at it from the children's point of view. "
Guan Liya also hesitated and didn't say anything. The old lady persuaded, "Nothing is more important than the children's happiness. Even if you don't agree now and really let them break up, Chenglin is stubborn in this aspect. He has set his sights on Danchen and won't look for anyone else in the future. No matter how many outstanding girls you introduce to him, he won't want them. Love is about the heart. It has nothing to do with excellence or not. Are you really going to let him take Youxuan and be single for the rest of his life? "
Guan Liya sighed. "Then I don't care. They … let them be."
The old lady smiled. "When they come back later, don't show an unwilling face."
"I know. It's the New Year. Naturally, we have to be happy," Guan Liya said.
Not long after she said that, Ruan Danchen and Qi Chenglin came out. Qi Youxuan was between them, holding Ruan Danchen's hand.
When they came back, Ruan Danchen sat Qi Youxuan on her lap, looking like she had something to say.
"Dad, Auntie Ruan, didn't you say that you had something important to say?" Qi Youxuan turned to look at Qi Chenglin and then at Ruan Danchen. He was still a little out of the situation.
He had just been sent back to his room by Big Auntie. Big Auntie had turned on the computer for him to watch the live broadcast online and shake red packets at the same time. However, the time of the live broadcast was a few minutes slower than the live broadcast on TV, so he didn't get a single red packet and could only watch TV.
Ruan Danchen looked at the little boy's face with a heavy heart. His round and pretty little face was now carefree and his big eyes were especially clear. There were no distracting thoughts at all and they were filled with trust.
Ruan Danchen's heart ached and she didn't have the courage to say what she wanted to say next.
Qi Chenglin looked at Ruan Danchen's hand that was holding Qi Youxuan's. His fair and clean big hand also covered their hands, one big and one small, in the palm of his hand.
The Qi family also noticed that the atmosphere between Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen was a little strange, and they looked at them suspiciously.
Qi Chenglin pointed at the file on the table with his eyes. "There's a document inside. Grandpa, Grandma, take a look."
Since Old Master Qi wanted to read it first, the others naturally didn't dare to take the initiative. Qi Zhongliang handed the file to Old Master Qi.
Old Master Qi took it with a grunt. Now that Auntie Liu was not around, Old Master Qi asked Qi Chengji to bring his presbyopic glasses over. Old Madam asked Qi Chengji to bring hers over.
Old Master Qi put on his presbyopic glasses and took out the document. He looked down and his expression changed. He suddenly looked up at Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen's heart tightened, but she didn't avoid Old Master Qi's gaze. She just hugged Qi Youxuan a little tighter.
"What's wrong?" Old Madam was very anxious at the side.
Old Master Qi couldn't tell what he was feeling right now. He didn't say a word and handed the document to Old Madam with a sullen face.
