Old Madam Chang choked for a moment, and her tone weakened a little. However, she still stiffened her neck and said, "Even if I say a few words to her, it's still an elder giving advice to the younger generation. What they did today was too much!"
Chang Zhiyuan sighed. He knew that the old lady was unwilling to admit it because she wanted to save face. Now that her temper had weakened, it meant that she had regretted it.
"Mom, I know what you can say when you're angry," Chang Zhiyuan said.
The old lady pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Don't tell me you still don't understand? Qi Chenglin's meaning is very obvious. Ruan Danchen can't say anything. If his wife is a little bad, he will explode. Besides, the matter between the couple really has nothing to do with you. Why bother to provoke them? "Chang Zhiyuan said.
The old lady didn't say a word, but Chang Jingqiu cried on the old lady's lap. "Grandma, what should I do about today's incident? If this gets out, no one will care about me in the future, wuwuwuwu … "
"Alright!" Chang Zhiyuan interrupted Chang Jingqiu, "Jingqiu, I always thought that you were a sensible person. Is this the time for you to cry? If you didn't talk to your grandmother yesterday, would she be like this today? "
"Alright, it's none of Jingqiu's business!" Old Madam Chang glared at Chang Zhiyuan unhappily. "She's already pitiful enough today, and you're still scolding her! Jingqiu is the most innocent. Didn't Ruan Danchen bear a grudge against you because you introduced her to Qi Chenglin? Besides, she didn't know that Qi Chenglin was with Ruan Danchen at that time. Could she be blamed? That Ruan Danchen is so vengeful and narrow-minded at such a young age. How vicious! "
Chang Zhiyuan was so angry that he laughed. Didn't she think that all these words she said could be used on him?
Chang Zhiyuan was too lazy to say more to the old lady. He only hoped that the old lady could remember today's lesson and not provoke Ruan Danchen again. When the old lady was in a coma, he had thought it through. It was useless to apologize to Qi Chenglin. He could only hope that Qi Chenglin would calm down after taking revenge.
Now that Old Madam Chang was fine, she was taken home by her sons and did not cause a ruckus in the hospital.
Chang Jingqiu stopped crying to Old Granny Chang, but she still wanted to express her grievances. She didn't make a sound along the way, only crying dryly. She looked pitiful.
When Old Madam Chang saw how she looked like she had been wronged but didn't dare to let it out, her heart ached even more. She kept saying that Chang Jingqiu was sensible and that it was all because of Ruan Danchen's evil intentions.
Fortunately, Chang Zhiyuan's family was not in the same car as them. Otherwise, Chang Zhiyuan would be so angry that his liver would hurt.
…
Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen bade farewell to Yan Beicheng and the others and returned to the famous garden.
As soon as she entered the door, Ruan Danchen did not see the little fellow greet her warmly, nor did she hear the little fellow's voice. Her heart felt empty. After changing into slippers, Auntie Zheng whispered to Ruan Danchen, "You Xuan is in the living room. He was watching cartoons just now. When he heard that you guys came back, he quickly turned off the television and sulked."
Ruan Danchen held back her laughter. She waited for them to come back before she started to sulk. Was that still considered sulking?
That was why people said that You Xuan was the cutest. When he was angry, his temper would be blown away by the wind.
"You Xuan, we're back." Ruan Danchen deliberately raised her voice and shouted sweetly. She was not surprised that she did not hear the little fellow's reply.
Ruan Danchen turned around and smiled at Qi Chenglin. She held his hand and walked to the living room.
Originally, the little fellow was looking at them eagerly with his neck stretched out. In the end, when they appeared, the little fellow immediately pouted and turned his head to the side.
This was the first time the little fellow had lost his temper with her. Ruan Danchen did not know what to do. She could only smile ingratiatingly and hug the little fellow in her arms.
The little fellow was stunned and its body stiffened. It seemed to be considering whether to struggle or not, but after a few seconds, it obediently stayed in Ruan Danchen's arms. Its little mouth pouted unhappily, but its small and soft body could not help but snuggle into Ruan Danchen's arms, smelling the familiar fragrance on her body.
After not seeing her for three days, the little fellow really missed his mother.
Seeing his reaction, Ruan Danchen could not help but think of a sentence that was often ridiculed on the Internet. You say no, but your body is still very honest!
It was particularly interesting to suddenly apply this sentence to the little fellow.
Seeing his awkward look, Ruan Danchen smiled and kissed his soft cheek hard.
"Don't be angry. Mom and Dad really had something to do this afternoon, so they could not pick you up." Ruan Danchen coaxed softly.
"Humph, don't you miss me?" Qi Youxuan pouted and asked.
"Of course, when you were not at home, the house was empty and no longer lively. On the night you left, I went to your room to see if you were asleep. When I opened the door, I found that you were not there. "
Ruan Danchen thought of Friday night. She had really forgotten that the little fellow was not at home. As usual, she went to see if the little fellow had kicked off the quilt and kissed him as he slept soundly.
She could open the door. The room was dark and a little cold. She did not hear the familiar breathing of the little fellow. The bed was empty. Only then did she remember that Qi Youxuan was not at home. She was really not used to it.
"What did you do in the afternoon?" The little fellow asked with an expression that said, "If this answer does not satisfy me, I will not forgive you".
"She was bullied yesterday. Today I took her to take revenge." Qi Chenglin explained in a flat tone.
When Qi Youxuan heard this, he immediately forgot to be angry with them. He straightened his neck and raised his voice. "Who bullied Mom?"
Qi Chenglin held back his laughter and sat down beside Ruan Danchen. He covered the little fellow's head with his delicate palm and rubbed her hair.
The school organized the winter camp to train the children. The little fellow did not have time to take care of his cool hairstyle these two days. Now his hair was soft and stuck to his head, especially soft and smooth. When Qi Chenglin rubbed it, it immediately became as messy as a bird's nest.
"Dad, don't mess up my hairstyle. Even at home, I have to maintain my image." Qi Youxuan immediately raised a pair of fleshy white hands and his five short fat fingers hurriedly combed his messy hair neatly.
"There are no outsiders at home. We've seen your messy appearance when you just got up in the morning." Seeing that he cared so much about his image, Ruan Danchen wanted to bully her lovely son, so she messed up his hair that had just been combed a little.
The little fellow sighed helplessly and looked at Ruan Danchen as if saying, "Mom, why are you so insensible?"
"I have to be careful from a young age." Qi Youxuan said seriously with his round little face, "When I'm with Mumu in the future, I have to pay attention to my image at all times. I can't relax just because I'm at home. When the time comes, I'll become a yellow-faced man and Mumu will dislike me."
Ruan Danchen looked at her son speechlessly. She had heard of a yellow-faced woman, but what about a yellow-faced man?
Qi Youxuan glanced at Qi Chenglin. Don't think that he didn't know that since he lived with his mother, his father had dressed up cutely every day for fear that his mother would dislike him.
"Dad, you haven't told me yet. Who bullied Mom?" Qi Youxuan thought about the previous words and was not distracted by this interruption.
Qi Chenglin had never taught him as an ignorant child since he was a child, so he did not perfunctory him and told him what had happened yesterday.
When the little fellow heard that he had really gone to take revenge today, he was no longer angry. He clenched his little fists and narrowed his big eyes, looking a little like Qi Chenglin.
"I'm not angry anymore, but remember to call me next time you want to take revenge!" The little fellow clenched his fists and said.
"Silly." Qi Chenglin patted his little head. "Do you want your mother to be bullied all the time?"
Qi Youxuan pouted and realized that he had said something wrong. He sat up straight in Ruan Danchen's arms, put his chubby hands around his waist, and said arrogantly, "My mother only needs them to bully her once. We can take revenge many times and make them regret it so that they won't have time to bully her again!"
Ruan Danchen smiled and kissed the little fellow's face again. She did not take his words seriously.
Unexpectedly, Qi Chenglin nodded very seriously and said, "That's fine."
Ruan Danchen was speechless.
…
When the little fellow came back, he received a call from Ruan Zeer on Wednesday night, asking if they were free on Sunday. If they were free, he would bring Li Yiming over to play.
The little fellow immediately jumped up in excitement and ran barefoot from his bedroom to Qi Chenglin's. "Daddy, Mommy, Brother Ruan called and asked if we were free on Sunday. He wants to come over to play!"
"I'm free." Ruan Danchen took the little fellow's children's phone and said to Ruan Zeer personally.
Ruan Zeer hung up happily and sat on the bed with the original document.
Ruan Keshan was writing a thesis in the study while Chen Minxia was looking for some reference books. She glanced at the box under the cabinet and thought of the photos stored inside, and her interest was piqued.
Her son had grown up, and as a mother, she missed the adorable appearance of her child more and more. She dragged the box out and took out a photo album. She wiped the dust off the cover and looked at the photos.
She took out another one and wiped the dust off the cover. She opened it and saw that it was a photo of the Ruan family. It was full of photos of Ruan Keshan and Ruan Keyu when they were young.
Just as she was about to pick it up and look at it, a photo fell out.
Although the photo was colorful, it was already a little yellowed. The clothes of the people in the photo also had a strong sense of age.
There were three young people in the photo, one man and two women. The two women stood together and the man stood next to them. The man was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up casually, revealing his strong and fair arms. He was wearing black trousers. Looking at the date on the lower right corner, it was already 28 years ago.
Looking at the photo from 30 years ago, the clothes should be very old-fashioned, but the man did not give off such a feeling at all. Even if he was dressed like this today, he still looked like a handsome and elegant person.
The white shirt made the man look even more elegant and handsome. Coupled with his elegant and handsome brows, he was really a person who was as graceful as a banished immortal. If placed in the current era, he would be an out-and-out handsome man.
If the man's appearance was born on a woman's face, it would be pure and beautiful. But when it was born on a man's face, it seemed a little too good looking.
He had one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand was holding the woman next to him. Their fingers were intertwined, and it was enviable to look at.
The woman only came up to the man's shoulder. Her skin was as white as snow, and her cheeks were still flushed. It was not just because of the makeup, but also because she was happy and shy because she was standing next to her lover.
Her waist-length hair was not permed or dyed, and it just fell down smoothly. A few strands of hair were blown by the wind, and they rested on the man's arm. It was ticklish to look at.
The woman's eyes were smiling, and they were curved like crescent moons. Even if it was a stranger who did not know her, looking at the woman like this, they would think that she had a gentle and quiet personality.
The woman next to the woman looked to be about the same age as her. Her smile was very bashful, unlike the way she smiled. Although her smile was shy, it was very natural. This woman's shy and timid look made Chen Minxia very unhappy. She always felt that she was not generous and could not be seen in public.
This woman's pair of eyes looked very innocent, delicate and pitiful, and she looked like she was pitiful. Some men liked this style of hers, but most of the men who liked this style were not smart. Chen Minxia felt that smart men should like the woman in the middle, and not this pretentious look.
Chen Minxia could not help but look at Ruan Keshan. Her husband was also a smart man.
Thinking about it, Chen Minxia could not help but laugh.
Ruan Keshan's intelligence was reflected in his IQ, but his EQ was really worrying. He was a little dull, and other than doing research, he did not know anything else. Naturally, he did not know how to beat around the bush. To put it bluntly, his mind was very simple.
He was usually so obsessed with research, all kinds of proposition, and all kinds of papers, not for fame and fortune. His purpose was very simple, and it was for scientific progress. However, when these words came out of his mouth, no one would doubt that this was his character.
She and Ruan Keshan also met through someone else. It was not love at first sight, but she liked his honest and straightforward character. He had never said what he liked about her, but she felt that he liked her very much from the first time they met. When they first met, he always stuttered.
Usually, besides doing research, Ruan Keshan hoped for the good of his family, father, and younger brother. Even if his father always praised Ruan Keyu a little more in the past, he was never jealous, and even felt honored, especially proud that his younger brother was good.
Ruan Keshan, who was focused on his work, did not notice his wife's gaze. Chen Minxia smiled, then shifted her gaze to the man in the photo.
Ruan Keyu, Ruan Keshan's younger brother, her brother-in-law. If he was still alive, he would be very outstanding now. Even she had to admit that Ruan Keyu would definitely be the pride of the Ruan family.
Chen Minxia faintly sighed. She could only say that the heavens must be jealous of a hero.
For no reason, her gaze returned to the woman on the side who she disliked the moment she looked at her. Looking at her delicate and pitiful look …
Delicate and pitiful?
Chen Minxia suddenly thought of something. She quickly picked up her phone, opened Weibo, and searched for Liu Ronghua. Immediately, many topics related to Liu Ronghua appeared.
Chen Minxia only searched for a while before she found her photo.
"Old Ruan!" Chen Minxia suddenly cried out.
Ruan Keshan was so focused that he was startled by the sound. He thought that something had happened to Chen Minxia, so he quickly got up and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
He was so anxious that he knocked over the chair.
Chen Minxia did not have the time to laugh at him. She quickly walked over and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm fine. Look at this."
Chen Minxia handed him the photo of Liu Ronghua on her phone, and then handed him the old photo.
"No wonder you said that the name Liu Ronghua sounded familiar a few days ago. I think it looks familiar too. Look, isn't it the same person in these two photos?" Chen Minxia said excitedly. Her heart was beating very fast, and the hand that handed over the photos was a little shaky.
Ruan Keshan held the photo in one hand, and the phone in the other. He compared them, and without Chen Minxia's reminder, he found the old photo of Liu Ronghua.
Fortunately, Liu Ronghua had been taking good care of herself all these years. In addition to becoming more mature, she had also become slightly more plump. There were some shallow wrinkles on her face, and her skin did not look as full as when she was young. But overall, there was not much change, so Ruan Keshan recognized her at a glance.
"This … this …" Ruan Keshan was so excited that he could not speak, and his hands were trembling.
Chen Minxia said, "When Ke Yu and Yuehuan came here from Shuo City to play with us for the first time, this girl was with them. I remember that I was the one who took this photo for them. At that time, it was a photo of Ke Yu and Yuehuan. This girl suddenly ran over excitedly and stood next to Yuehuan. But at that time, we thought that she was just a child, so we did not care. This photo looked so good to Ke Yu and Yuehuan, so we kept this photo. "
Ruan Keshan looked at his younger brother's face in the photo, but he did not expect that his younger brother would always look like that. He did not have the chance to age.
Tears welled up in his eyes. "Who would have thought that when Yuehuan was giving birth, there would be an explosion in a laboratory in Shuo City University, and Ke Yu was in that building …"
Chen Minxia was also upset. She felt suffocated, and her nose was sore. She stroked his back and comforted him. "But Yuehuan died in childbirth. When we received the news and went to the hospital, there was no news of Yuehuan and the child. I don't know where the child is now … "
Ruan Keshan trembled with emotion, and even the photo in his hand shook violently. "Do you think … this Liu Ronghua knows the whereabouts of Ke Yu's child? We don't know whether his child is a boy or a girl. Ke Yu is gone, and for more than 20 years, we did not even take good care of his child. I feel guilty to Ke Yu! When Dad heard that Ke Yu had passed away, even his sister-in-law had passed away, leaving behind a lonely child who was nowhere to be found. He locked himself in his room for three days and did not eat. When he came out, he was old. The thing I regret the most in my life is that I did not take good care of Ke Yu, and let Ke Yu die at such a young age … "
Ruan Keshan's eyes were red, and tears welled up in his eyes. Although they did not fall, he was choking with sobs.
"And the thing I regret the most in my life, and the thing I can't let go of, is that I have never been able to find Ke Yu's child and take good care of his bloodline. How can I face Ke Yu in the future? If I can't find that child, I won't be able to die in peace! I'm afraid that the child has suffered a lot, and I don't know what kind of life that child has been living. I'm afraid that the child will not have a good life, and I'm afraid that she will suffer. What if she becomes a beggar? Nowadays, those beggars don't treat children as human beings. What if they abuse or hurt her when she is young?
"Now, when I see those little beggars on the road, I think of that child. Even though I know that those beggars are controlled by a group, and the money won't fall into my hands, I still can't help but give them money. I'm afraid that Ke Yu's child will be the same! There are also human traffickers. What if she falls into the hands of human traffickers? I don't know where she will be sold to, and it will be like searching for a needle in a haystack. I've lost Ke Yu's child just like that, I've lost him! I don't deserve to be his brother! "
"I still remember that when Ke Yu was young, he loved to follow behind me. At that time, he was small, like a little girl. Wherever I went, he would tug at my clothes like a little tail. When he was young, he was always bullied by boys because he looked too delicate, like a little girl. I was always the one who protected him. When he was in primary school, all the girls in the class liked him because he was good-looking, and they would surround him. When the boys couldn't stand him, they would bully him, and I was the one who protected him. At that time, our family wasn't very well off. We had chickens, and when they laid eggs, grandpa would eat them. Occasionally, there would be an extra egg. Mom would leave it for dad, and dad would secretly leave it for us, so that we could each have half. I would secretly return the half with more egg yolk to Ke Yu. "
