"Auntie, don't say that." Chang Jingqiu seemed to be sad for Liu Ronghua, and her eyes were red.
Liu Ronghua was moved and said with more vigor, "Do you know, now they don't even know to leave a meal for me. The eldest sister-in-law at home made a meal, but there were only two bowls, Shen Jialiang and Shen Zhijing's, and she didn't want to give it to me. If they didn't go home, the eldest sister-in-law would not cook, saying that it was Shen Zhijing's order, so there was no need to prepare my share.
"I did so much for them, but now I can't even eat a hot meal. I have been wronged in the Shen family for so many years, and I am willing to do anything for them. Now they want me to give up and let me leave, then what do I do in the past years? So I am not reconciled, I don't want to leave like this, and I let the Shen family take advantage of me in vain, and in the end, I can do what they want. I also regret, if I had left earlier, I would not be like this now, I want to leave but I am not reconciled. "Liu Ronghua wiped her tears.
Chang Jingqiu said: "Auntie, drink some tea first."
Liu Ronghua took a small sip of the black tea, put down the cup, sniffed, and continued, "That father and daughter are both heartless. Just based on the things I've done for them, anyone with a bit of conscience wouldn't treat me like this. If I didn't ask Ruan Danchen to let her replace Shen Zhijing — "
Liu Ronghua suddenly stopped talking and looked at Chang Jingqiu nervously. She especially regretted that she had accidentally blurted it out just now.
At this time, her lips were tightly closed, and she no longer spoke. She lowered her eyes and did not look at Chang Jingqiu. She helplessly picked up the teacup and kept drinking tea to cover up.
"Auntie, what do you mean?" Chang Jingqiu did not intend to let Liu Ronghua muddle through like this, and immediately asked, "What did Ruan Danchen do in place of Shen Zhijing?"
Chang Jingqiu tightened her nerves. Her intuition told her that this was a very important thing, and it was about Ruan Danchen that she had always wanted to catch.
Liu Ronghua shook her head unnaturally, and at this time she did not cry, and quickly said: "Nothing, you forget what I said just now. This matter, I can't say it. "
Chang Jingqiu had placed the bait for so long. Now that the fish had finally appeared, there was no reason for her to let the fish swim away on its own. She adjusted her expression so that Liu Ronghua wouldn't suspect her.
"Auntie, don't you trust me? You've told me so many things, but have I ever spread it out? I just want to help you. Tell me the whole story so that I can think of a solution with you. Although I don't know what's going on, from what you said, it seems to have a great impact on the Shen family. Your strength alone is too weak. Tell me, and we can discuss how to make use of what you know. "Chang Jingqiu said sincerely, taking the initiative to refill Liu Ronghua's cup of black tea.
Liu Ronghua hesitated. She bit her lip and thought for a long time. Chang Jingqiu did not rush her.
After a long while, Liu Ronghua sighed and said, "Alright, I'll tell you. Jingqiu, I really don't treat you as an outsider, and I trust that you won't tell anyone. So there's no harm in telling you. This matter has been accumulating in my heart for so many years, and it really makes me uncomfortable. If there's someone to talk about it, I can feel better. "
So, Liu Ronghua told her about how she let Ruan Danchen replace Shen Zhijing and how she gave birth to Qi Youxuan with Qi Chenglin.
Chang Jingqiu's heart changed greatly when she heard it, and even her expression couldn't hide the shock.
No wonder Ruan Danchen could be so sure that Qi Youxuan was her son. No wonder when she mentioned the past with Qi Chenglin, she didn't say anything in detail.
It turned out that she had guessed wrong all along. She didn't expect the truth of the matter to be so strange.
Chang Jingqiu was still in shock when she heard Liu Ronghua say, "Although Ruan Danchen is not my biological daughter, I raised her for so many years. How can I not have any feelings for her? I also feel very distressed for using her like this. I have always felt guilty and felt that I've let her down. I raised her for so many years. Even if she wasn't my biological daughter, I still treated her as my own. But for the sake of Shen Jialiang and his daughter, Shen Zhijing, I sacrificed my own daughter. "
"He, Shen Jialiang, didn't say a word of thanks and promised to let me live in the Shen family. It seemed that he was giving me a great reward. Shen Zhijing bullied me, but he pretended not to see it, making Shen Zhijing more and more disrespect me. In the Shen family, because of his laissez-faire attitude, from Shen Zhijing to the eldest sister-in-law at home, everyone looked down on me. "
"Forget it. I thought that I had done so much for him, and he would be moved and marry me, but I didn't expect that he didn't have this idea from the beginning to the end." Liu Ronghua said angrily.
On the surface, Chang Jingqiu still had an expression of injustice for Liu Ronghua, but her heart was extremely cold.
Liu Ronghua's words were full of emotion, and it seemed that she had a deep affection for Ruan Danchen. But if she really treated Ruan Danchen like her own daughter, would she let her do this kind of thing?
She could even sell the daughter that she had raised with her own hands. This Liu Ronghua was really not a person worthy of trust and deep friendship.
"For the sake of them, I even lied to Ruan Danchen that I had a car accident and deceived her to go back to the Shen family. For the sake of them, I have now lost my daughter. Ruan Danchen is no longer willing to forgive me and refuse to recognize me. You say, if it wasn't for them, I would now be Qi Chenglin's mother-in-law. What do I want? What kind of respect do I want? But I even gave up on these. I have sacrificed so much for Shen Jialiang, but in the end, I have lost my value. Don't talk about a good face, he doesn't even like to talk to me. "
Chang Jingqiu sneered in her heart. This Shen Jialiang and Liu Ronghua were really not a family. Not entering the same door, they were both selfish and cold-hearted people. No wonder they could come together.
"Auntie, this matter, you let me think about it. You can rest assured that I will never say anything. "Chang Jingqiu said.
Liu Ronghua carefully wiped her tears. "I will feel much better if I tell you about this matter. It's really hard to bear for so many years. "
Chang Jingqiu comforted her a few more words. "Don't worry, we will definitely make good use of this matter and let the Shen family suffer a loss. But no matter what we do, I am afraid that in the end, Ruan Danchen will be affected. I don't know if you —"
"It doesn't matter." Liu Ronghua said resolutely. She seemed to feel that she had answered too quickly. Her expression was a little fierce, and she sighed helplessly. "Now she doesn't recognize me. In her eyes, I am already a heinous person. Besides, she is now protected by the Qi family. She can't be hurt. "
Chang Jingqiu nodded. "In that case, I have no burden. I will go back and think about it, then I will tell you."
…
That afternoon, Chang Jingqiu had not yet decided how to use this matter from Liu Ronghua's mouth. But first, she saw the news about herself in the newspaper.
It was about Old Lady Chang's birthday party last night. Guan Liya said that she knew Qi Chenglin was married but still pursued him.
Chang Jingqiu was so angry that she crumpled the newspaper on the spot.
That Guan Liya, she was talking nonsense!
At that time, when she wanted to pursue Qi Chenglin, she clearly did not know that Qi Chenglin was married. She only thought that he had a fiancée.
Although she knew that Qi Chenglin was married, she still did not give up. But only she knew about this matter. Even Old Lady Chang did not know about it. Guan Liya had just casually hit the nail on the head. But without knowing, Guan Liya was also maliciously slandering her!
Guan Liya had chosen to say it last night, so no matter how she explained it, it would not be right.
She did not solve Guan Liya's matter in time, so it was useless even if she was angry now. What she wanted to know now was who was the one who had leaked this information!
Although there were many guests at the birthday party last night, it was a private affair, and no reporters were invited.
Chang Jingqiu paused for a moment. It was not that there were no reporters. She was a reporter herself, but of course she could not slander her. Besides that, wasn't there Gao Xiaoyang?
In the newspaper, Gao Xiaoyang had always been her competitor. This time, it must have been Gao Xiaoyang who had leaked the matter.
Chang Jingqiu angrily rushed to Gao Xiaoyang's desk and said with a sullen face, "Gao Xiaoyang, get out here!"
Gao Xiaoyang raised an eyebrow. Seeing Chang Jingqiu's angry look, he followed her out and the two of them went to the top floor. Along the way, Chang Jingqiu did not say a word. Her gloomy face was accumulating anger, and she looked like she was waiting to explode. Gao Xiaoyang looked at her, puzzled.
When they reached the top floor, Gao Xiaoyang followed behind Chang Jingqiu. He was getting a little impatient.
"Why did you call me out —" Before Gao Xiaoyang could finish his sentence, Chang Jingqiu suddenly turned around and slapped him.
Gao Xiaoyang was stunned. "Chang Jingqiu, are you crazy?!"
Chang Jingqiu grabbed the newspaper and threw it at Gao Xiaoyang's face. "See for yourself!"
Being hit by the newspaper wouldn't hurt, but it happened to hit the side of her face that was slapped. She immediately frowned.
Being slapped by Chang Jingqiu for no reason, how could he not feel aggrieved? Gao Xiaoyang's nose was a little sore, but he endured it. When he opened the newspaper and saw the headline, he understood.
"You think I leaked it?" Gao Xiaoyang looked at Chang Jingqiu coldly. Even now, one side of his face was still burning.
"Who else could it be if not you? Other than me, you were the only reporter at the banquet last night. I'm not going to smear my name. Furthermore, I saw you typing on your phone last night. "Chang Jingqiu glared at him angrily.
"I was typing, but I was typing on the fact that the eight great families left the banquet early last night. I don't know if this action will affect the Chang Family's status in the business world." Gao Xiaoyang was not afraid to speak the truth. The boss had already approved the manuscript, and Chang Jingqiu would be able to see it when it was published.
"I'm a financial reporter, not an entertainment gossip reporter. I don't care about the entertainment section. I only care about my job." Gao Xiaoyang said calmly.
"As a reporter, you know so many people in the industry. Who knows if you leaked this to other reporters? Even if you didn't personally write it, wouldn't it be the same if you told others? "Chang Jingqiu clenched his teeth and said.
"Chang Jingqiu, don't think of me as shameless as you. I don't need to do these kinds of things. The ugly things you have done will be found out sooner or later. There were so many people at the banquet last night. Don't think that your upper class circle is so noble. Aren't there people like you? As reporters, don't you know that even in your circle, people love to gossip? So many people saw it last night. Do I still need to go and tell someone? "
Gao Xiaoyang pointed at her face that was stinging from Chang Jingqiu's slap. She did not know how swollen her face was, but Chang Jingqiu's slap was not light.
"This slap is my bad luck. This time, I was unexpectedly slapped by you. This is also a lesson for me. In the future, when I'm with you, I will definitely be on my guard. I won't let you hurt me again." Gao Xiaoyang was so angry that her chest hurt. She wanted to slap Chang Jingqiu immediately, but she was much shorter than Chang Jingqiu and her arms were shorter. Now that Chang Jingqiu was on guard, how could she succeed?
She narrowed her eyes and did not want to return the slap. She crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it directly at Chang Jingqiu's face. Then she left without looking back.
…
The little boy's comfortable winter vacation passed quickly. Today was Monday, and Qi Youxuan was going to start school.
The free winter vacation was over, and he had to go back to school to study and do homework. Qi Youxuan was not in a low mood. On the contrary, he was in high spirits and held Ruan Danchen's hand all the way. No one knew why he was so excited.
Ruan Danchen could not guess what Qi Youxuan was thinking, but Qi Chenglin explained, "He has been holding back for the whole winter vacation, waiting to go to school and show off that he has a biological mother."
Hearing Qi Chenglin's words, the little boy immediately stopped.
Ruan Danchen looked down and found that the little boy was holding her hand, but he was very embarrassed. His slightly round little head was leaning against her, and his red ears could be seen.
He was shy.
Looking at him like this, he was really too cute. Thinking of the reason why the little boy was in such a hurry, her heart softened and ached.
They walked all the way from the parking lot to the school gate. Qi Youxuan was a little embarrassed to drag Ruan Danchen around and introduce her to everyone after Qi Chenglin had exposed his thoughts. He could only say in a normal voice, "Goodbye, Daddy. Goodbye, Mommy."
After saying that, he carried his school bag and walked in alone.
"Youxuan!" Ruan Danchen suddenly called out to him from behind.
The little boy immediately stopped obediently and turned to look at her. Ruan Danchen squatted down and stretched out her arms to him. "You forgot to kiss Mommy before you go in."
Ruan Danchen's voice was very loud, and everyone around heard it.
The little guy's pretty little face lit up all of a sudden. He immediately rushed back and threw himself into Ruan Danchen's arms. A pair of chubby little hands wrapped around her neck and gave her a "smack" on the face.
"Goodbye, Mommy." The little boy said in a loud voice.
Ruan Danchen also kissed him. Qi Youxuan was satisfied and was about to leave when he heard Zhang Mingming call out, "Qi Youxuan."
The little boy stopped and waited for Zhang Mingming to let go of his mother's hand and run over with his school bag.
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie." Zhang Mingming greeted them politely.
Qi Youxuan suddenly cleared his throat, tidied up his well-ironed uniform, and said to Zhang Mingming, "This is my mother."
Zhang Mingming's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled happily. "Congratulations, you finally have a stepmother."
The little boy's little face puffed up and he immediately said, "Not a stepmother, but a biological mother!"
"I know, Auntie is very good to you, just like a biological mother. I understand. Haven't you always told me that?" Zhang Mingming patted the little boy on the shoulder, expressing his understanding.
For the first time, the little boy felt that Zhang Mingming was so stupid! He was clearly doing well in his studies, but did his reaction in other aspects slow down after learning well?
"I mean, my mother is not a stepmother like my biological mother, but my biological mother, my biological mother!" Qi Youxuan said through gritted teeth. He was so anxious that he was about to stomp his feet.
Zhang Mingming was stunned and could not digest this information for a long time. He saw Qi Youxuan introduce to the students behind him, "This is my mother, biological mother. Please take care of her."
Qi Youxuan was not in a hurry to go to school. Anyway, there was still time. When a classmate came, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, the little boy said very seriously, "This is my mother, biological mother. Please take care of her."
Then, seeing that his form teacher had arrived, the little boy immediately said, "Teacher Liu, good morning! This is my mother, biological mother. Please take care of her! "
Then, he waved to the physical education teacher who was walking over from afar. "Teacher Chen, this is my mother, biological mother. Please take care of her!"
Ruan Danchen's face turned red. Although she was very willing to cooperate with her son, she was really embarrassed to be publicized in such a way!
It felt like her first day in school, and she was brought by her own son.
However, seeing how excited Qi Youxuan was, Ruan Danchen felt a little embarrassed, but she endured it. As long as the little boy was happy, it was fine.
Looking at his excited look, wasn't it because he could openly tell others that he had a mother?
When Teacher Liu and Teacher Chen heard this, they were very surprised and looked at Ruan Danchen. All along, everyone knew that Qi Youxuan's mother was unknown. They also knew that Qi Youxuan had a stepmother that he liked very much.
However, they did not expect that the stepmother would suddenly become his biological mother.
Therefore, the parents, children, and the teachers who came greeted Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen politely. Looking at Qi Youxuan's smug look, they did not know how to react.
It was rare that Qi Chenglin did not stop Qi Youxuan from doing this. He only pointed to the big clock on the opposite teaching building after his excited introduction for a long time. "You're going to be late."
When Qi Youxuan saw this, he quickly said goodbye to Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen and rushed inside with his short legs. As he ran, he turned back and said to Ruan Danchen, "Mom, let's continue after school!"
Ruan Danchen was speechless.
It was bustling here, and no one noticed that in the shadows of an inconspicuous corner across the road, a telephoto SLR camera had captured all the scenes here.
…
Finally, the crowd at the school gate dispersed, and Ruan Danchen and Qi Chenglin got into the car.
Ruan Danchen still felt that her face was burning. It was winter, but it was unbearably hot. Even her neck was sweating.
She took off her scarf and fanned her face with her hands. Qi Chenglin looked on happily at the side.
He did not stop Qi Youxuan because he felt that Qi Youxuan's method was quite good. He would let the children at Jixia Academy tell their parents, and the parents would spread the news. Everyone would know that he and Ruan Danchen were married. It was practically free publicity.
Looking at Ruan Danchen's blushing face, he felt a little tempted. It was a little bad to have a child at home. Even at home, he could not be too presumptuous. When he returned to his bedroom, he had to be wary of Qi Youxuan knocking on the door.
Qi Chenglin unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over, giving Ruan Danchen a fright. She was squeezed against the car door.
The tip of his nose was almost touching her flushed face as he sniffed gently. The heat on her face seemed to make her faint fragrance even stronger. It smelled especially good.
Looking at Qi Chenglin's face that was inches away from hers, Ruan Danchen swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
This man was too charming. If he was too close, she could not stay calm at all.
She could not see his entire face clearly because of the magnified face, but every single one of his facial features was still exquisite and handsome even when she looked at him up close.
In order to see him more clearly, Ruan Danchen narrowed her eyes slightly, and her waist was grabbed by him. "One day, I'll send that kid to his grandmother's place. Let's stay at home alone. With such a third wheel in the middle, we can't even enjoy our time together. "
