The bowl that was piled high with meat suddenly became empty. The little boy wanted to cry but had no tears. He turned to look at Qi Chenglin, who was still eating.
He pouted and said pitifully, "Dad, it's such a good day today. Mom has found her family. Let's celebrate. Just let me eat some meat. I have grandpa, grandma, great-grandpa, and great-grandma. I'm happy too. When I'm happy, I want to eat meat. "
Qi Chenglin looked at him. Qi Youxuan felt that he was so pitiful and cute that anyone would be softhearted. But his father was so cold. It was really disappointing!
"That's why I left some meat for you. Normally, I wouldn't have any." Qi Chenglin's voice was very calm. He didn't care about his son's cute act.
He had seen him act cute for seven years. It would be strange if Qi Chenglin still fell for it.
"Dad, you're so cold-hearted. It really makes me feel disappointed." The little fatty took a big bite of the drumstick in grief and indignation. He blinked his big black eyes, and they were actually moist.
"…" Qi Chenglin didn't say anything. He silently picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork from his bowl and elegantly stuffed it into his mouth.
The little fatty was indignant. This was stealing his meat. Dad was so old, but he was so shameless. He was still his son!
How could he steal his son's meat? Look at how skinny he was now!
Her oily little hands quickly grabbed the bowl and held it in her arms. She looked at Qi Chenglin vigilantly. She was determined not to let this cunning father take meat from her bowl again.
There was so much on the plate. How could he steal it from him?
Qi Chenglin slowly picked up a lot of vegetables and put them into his bowl. After a while, the little boy's bowl became as high as a small mountain again, but it was full of vegetables.
"Don't think I don't know that you ate a lot of meat at school. Which of your school's nutritious lunches doesn't have meat for every meal? You also have afternoon tea in the afternoon. " Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows. Under the little boy's surprised gaze, he continued, "This afternoon, you went to the restaurant to buy fried hamburgers and grilled chicken skin, right?"
"Dad, how did you know?" Qi Youxuan felt that he had no way out. Did his father know how many bowls of rice he ate at school?
The corners of Qi Chenglin's mouth curled up. He especially despised his son's IQ. The little guy could completely feel this thick malice.
"Have you forgotten that the school belongs to our family?" Qi Chenglin smiled gently and elegantly. "Your principal is very responsible."
Crash!
Why does the principal care about such a small matter?
"Dad, don't you think that the principal isn't too busy with work if he's even meddling in such a small matter?" Qi Youxuan decided to give the principal a hard time.
The principal, who was on his way home, had no idea that he had offended the eldest grandson of the Qi family in order to make the second young master of the Qi family happy.
"You can think of it as the principal paying attention to your trivial matters despite his busy schedule. Don't add to the principal's burden anymore," Qi Chenglin said as he picked up a piece of broccoli for him without batting an eye.
Old Lady Ruan and Ruan Keshan were very fond of the little fellow's mischievous behavior. After meeting Ruan Danchen, he never had the chance to ask Qi Chenglin what he did.
Just by looking at his extraordinary clothes and bearing, they knew that he was not an ordinary person and would not let Ruan Danchen suffer.
Ruan Danchen's current clothes, her ruddy face and spirit all showed that she was living a good life.
In addition, the little fellow was smart and polite. Obviously, she was very well-educated. She was not as introverted and timid as many children of her age. The little fellow was lively and generous, looking like a child who had seen a lot of the world.
In particular, she just gave him a thick red packet of 8,000 yuan, which was a thick stack of red packets. If it were any other child, they would have been overjoyed. However, Qi Youxuan was magnanimous and happy. He did not seem to think that the money was a lot. He was used to it and passed the red packet to Ruan Danchen.
Old Lady Ruan came from a musical family. She usually participated in concerts and followed the orchestra to perform in various countries. She had met a lot of people, even the nobles of European countries.
Seeing Qi Chenglin and the little fellow's bearing, she felt that they were not inferior to those people at all. She was afraid that they were not ordinary people.
Now that she heard that Qi Chenglin's family opened a school, she already felt that it was not simple, but she always felt that it should be more than that. However, Old Lady Ruan did not want to be rude. She just wanted to ask her son in private later so that she could have an idea.
Looking at Qi Youxuan's painful appearance of gnawing vegetables, it was like watching a little pig gnawing vegetables. It was particularly pitiful and particularly peaceful. Old Lady Ruan felt sorry for Qi Youxuan's body.
"If only your grandfather was here." Old Lady Ruan said, "Then today is a family reunion."
"Mom, don't worry. I've set the alarm clock. I'm waiting for Dad to get off the plane and turn on his phone. I'll call him immediately." Ruan Keshan said.
After dinner, Chen Minxia went to the kitchen to clean up, and Ruan Danchen also went to help. Old Lady Ruan finally found her granddaughter, so she was reluctant to let her do it, but Ruan Danchen could not let Chen Minxia do it alone.
She was the one who made the dinner. After dinner, there were so many dirty dishes and bowls, and she didn't even help to clean them up. She was too heartless.
Old Lady Ruan did not want her daughter-in-law to think that she was partial to her granddaughter. After a few words of persuasion, she went back to coax the little fatty with a smile.
Chen Minxia also asked Ruan Danchen to go out and chat. It was not easy for them to recognize each other, so they had endless words to talk about.
"Since we have reunited today, it's not a big deal to wait for a few more minutes. There are still many days in the future, and there will be many reunion days." Ruan Danchen said with a smile.
Chen Minxia thought so, so she cleaned up with her niece. She suddenly felt that the feeling now was different.
In the past, there were only two women in the family, she and Old Lady Ruan. Her mother-in-law was old, so how could she work? Even with the help of her sister-in-law, she was an outsider after all. They could chat politely together, but it was not like now. Even if they stood far away, their hearts were close.
Although she was not familiar with Ruan Danchen, she always felt that she was a considerate niece, just like her own daughter. Thinking that they would be familiar with each other in the future, working together and talking to each other, Chen Minxia felt that it was really wonderful.
Together, the two of them quickly finished cleaning up.
When they returned to the living room, they saw a lot of photo albums on the coffee table. They were all clean, but they were all old styles from decades ago.
At a glance, Chen Minxia knew that these were photos of Ruan Keshan and Ruan Keyu in the past. Since Ruan Keyu passed away, Old Lady Ruan would take them out from time to time to look at them, so the photo albums were very clean.
"Danchen, come and look. These are all photos of your uncle and your father when they were young." Old Lady Ruan could not wait to greet her.
When Ruan Danchen heard this, she also rushed over excitedly.
Ruan Keshan and Old Lady Ruan both said that she looked like Ruan Keyu. She was also very curious about her father, whom she had never met.
Today, she heard Ruan Keshan and Old Lady Ruan talk a lot about Ruan Keyu. Ruan Keyu died young, so naturally, they talked about his youth. When Ruan Danchen listened, she couldn't help but form the image of an elegant young man in her mind.
When she sat down beside Old Lady Ruan and saw Ruan Keyu's appearance when he was young, she really felt real. Seeing that she looked so similar to Ruan Keyu, her heart also calmed down.
Old Lady Ruan looked at the photo and then looked at Ruan Danchen. After so many years of emptiness, her heart was finally full.
Seeing that they had finished looking at the photo, Qi Chenglin slowly said, "There is one more thing that I should let you know."
Qi Chenglin had always been a steady person. Even when he talked to Qi Youxuan, he didn't show much expression. But even if they weren't familiar with him, the Ruan family could still hear the seriousness in his words, so they all looked at him.
Qi Chenglin then told them about Chang Jingqiu.
Ruan Keshan was stunned. Even though the Chinese language was broad and profound, he could not find any words to describe Liu Ronghua's shamelessness.
Not only did she steal their niece, but she also interfered with their niece's life and even changed Ruan Danchen's life!
Originally, even without them, Ruan Danchen could still be the daughter of a big family. But how could Liu Ronghua be so vicious? She actually used a girl who had nothing to do with her to replace Ruan Danchen and enjoy the happiness that Ruan Danchen should have enjoyed.
"I'm going to find Liu Ronghua. I'm going to kill her!" Ruan Keshan gritted his teeth and was about to get up when he was stopped by Chen Minxia.
"You're injured now. What are you looking for? When you've recovered, I'll look for her with you. That woman has done too many immoral things. She should go to hell! "Chen Minxia gritted her teeth.
Old Lady Ruan's eyes were red with anger. "Keyu has a bad eye for people. He actually treated that person as a friend. In the end, he ruined his daughter's life for nothing."
"I'm talking about this matter because I want to hear your opinion. Do you want to acknowledge the Chang family?" Qi Chenglin asked.
Although he had asked Ruan Danchen before, he still had to respect the Ruan family's opinion.
Now that Old Master Ruan was not around, Ruan Keshan naturally let Old Lady Ruan make the decision.
"I just didn't expect Yuehuan to be the daughter of the Chang family." Old Lady Ruan sighed. She also did not expect that she would elope with her son to Shuo City.
Old Lady Ruan was also a smart person. Naturally, she could also understand why Ruan Keyu rarely returned to B City in those years.
"That unfilial son! Unfilial son! "Old Lady Ruan could not help but cry. Just because of a woman, he did not even return home.
But she also knew that Ruan Keyu did not dare to return because he was afraid of implicating his family.
But that silly child did not say anything. Why did he not think about whether his family would be willing to let him be like this?
If he came back and said that even if he was implicated, everyone was a family. So what if they shared weal and woe?
At least in his most difficult times, she would still be by his side to support him and take care of him, instead of not even meeting him.
Old Lady Ruan felt uncomfortable for a moment, but still sniffled. She took the tissue from Ruan Keshan and wiped her tears.
"What does Danchen mean? After all, that's your mother's home. Your grandmother and uncle are also there. It's human nature to acknowledge them. If you want, when your grandfather comes back, our family will accompany you, "Old Lady Ruan said.
After all, that was Ruan Danchen's grandmother's home. If she wanted to acknowledge them, Old Lady Ruan would not think much of it. But she believed that Ruan Danchen was not interested in the Chang family's money.
Judging from Qi Chenglin's appearance, he did not lack money. Perhaps he was not much worse than the Chang family.
In fact, according to the Ruan family's own thoughts, they did not like to interact with the Chang family.
They were not in the same circle, so they naturally did not know the Chang family. Otherwise, they would have heard of Chang Yuehuan.
However, the Chang family could break off their relationship with Chang Yuehuan because they were not satisfied with Ruan Keyu's identity, forcing the two children to run away and never come back. The Ruan family did not like the Chang family.
To be honest, if they really brought Ruan Danchen to visit, who knew if the Chang family would think that the Ruan family wanted to take advantage of the situation to climb up the social ladder.
Moreover, if it were not for the Chang family's coercion, Ruan Keyu and Chang Yuehuan would not have to hide in Shuo City, so that they could not see their son even once a year. Ruan Keyu would not have an accident in Shuo City, so that they could not even see their son for the last time.
Although the Ruan family was reasonable, they were not saints. It would be a lie to say that they did not hate the Chang family.
But at the end of the day, it was still Ruan Danchen's mother's family.
Old Madam Ruan's heart was full of guilt towards this granddaughter she had just reunited with. She owed this granddaughter so much. If her granddaughter wanted to, it was not a big deal for them to suffer a little loss and grievance for her little wish. It was not like they would lose a piece of flesh.
Ruan Danchen shook her head. "It's enough that I remember my mother. She had a difficult labor and risked her life to give birth to me. I miss her in my heart. I will never remember her sacrifice for me. It's just that, to be honest, other than blood relations, I do not have any feelings for the Chang family. To be honest, I do know the Chang family, but I am not familiar with them. Among them, the one I interact with the most is Old Madam Chang, who is also my mother's mother. "
"She is an unreasonable old madam, and she hates me very much. She has repeatedly used my identity to talk about things. She looks down on me very much." Ruan Danchen did not take it to heart, so she spoke very casually.
But Old Madam Ruan showed an angry expression. Ruan Danchen just held her hand. "Back then, Old Madam Chang probably played a big role in opposing my father and mother being together. If I go back now, she could despise my father back then, and I am afraid she will despise you now. You are different from Old Madam Chang. I will not let you suffer such grievances. "
Old Madam Ruan was so touched that she really wanted to dig out her heart for Ruan Danchen. Seeing her granddaughter thinking so much for them, what a good child.
"If I really want to admit it, I will go back myself. I will not let her insult you. Moreover, I do not want to admit it now. Let's not talk about whether she believes it or not. Even if she believes it, she will treat me well. Tell me, is she interested in my identity or me as a person? Before, she degraded me because of my identity. Now, she is good to me because of my identity. How can I believe it? "
"Moreover, Old Madam Chang is unreasonable. I am also afraid that she will make some unreasonable requests and ask the Qi family to do something for the Chang family." Ruan Danchen frowned and said. "The people in my mother-in-law's family are very good to me. I can't let them endure it because of me."
"Qi family? Chenglin family? " Old Madam Ruan also understood Ruan Danchen's meaning. If she recognized the Chang family, Old Madam Chang would rush to curry favor with them.
This could make Old Madam Chang, who was used to looking down on her family, rush to curry favor with them. What level was the Qi family?
Because old Madam Ruan had no daughter and her brother died early, Ruan Keshan, who had been dedicated to being his mother's intimate little cotton-padded jacket over the years, immediately took the initiative to explain the status of the Qi family.
Old Madam Ruan was surprised. She didn't expect that her granddaughter had suffered so much, but it was also good after suffering. She actually found such an excellent man. The most rare thing was that her mother-in-law was reasonable.
However, Old Madam Ruan saw Qi Chenglin's appearance was still very upright. Just like before, she only saw Qi Chenglin as her grandson-in-law, which made Qi Chenglin very satisfied.
"Chenglin said that my uncle has a very good relationship with my mother. He really loves my mother's daughter, so he also loves Chang Jingqiu. Even if she is not very good, he still likes her because of my mother. Although she took advantage of my mother, I haven't thought about it yet. I just want to observe again. If it is true, I can recognize him alone. "Ruan Danchen squeezed old Madam Ruan's hand." In fact, I am also very selfish. "
Ruan Danchen thought that if she could confirm that Chang Zhiyuan really cared about his sister, then he would not let the Chang family ruin her and even use her to climb up to the Qi family.
However, Ruan Danchen was also worried. Chang Zhiyuan was a businessman after all. What if he put profit first?
So she wanted to see first. Maybe Chang Zhiyuan was willing to hide it from the Chang family for her.
"No, who doesn't think for themselves? Besides, with the Chang family's situation, it is better to stay away from them. Your mother was able to cut off relations and leave the Chang family, let alone you. "
"Moreover, there is no conclusive evidence now, so I don't want to rush over. Since I don't feel that close to the Chang family, why must I get entangled with them for such a trivial matter? "Ruan Danchen curled her lips. Just thinking about old Madam Ruan made her feel bad.
"That's right." Old Madam Ruan did not like the Chang family, so she supported Ruan Danchen's decision a hundred percent.
However, because Ruan Danchen did not say anything completely and knew that this child was soft-hearted, she did not say much.
Ruan Danchen smiled. "Actually, it is fortunate that I did not grow up in the Chang family. Just look at the current Chang Jingqiu and the current grandson Chang Jianan. Chang Jianan is the same age as You Xuan, but he is a spoiled child. As for Chang Jingqiu — "
Ruan Danchen shook her head. "With that kind of character, I really don't want to mention her. It is true that they were all spoiled by the Chang family when they grew up, but it is precisely because of this boundless and unreasonable spoiling that they have become like this. Chang Jianan is still young and still needs to change, but Chang Jingqiu obviously does not think that there is anything wrong with her. Although there were times when my life was difficult, it was actually not bad. At least I was able to support myself and did not let myself starve, nor did I let myself suffer much. The hardship of work is not considered hardship. "
"Because that kind of life, at least my heart did not change. This is something to be happy about. In my opinion, it is much better than living in the Chang family."
Old Madam Ruan smiled and nodded, but did not say that if it was Ruan Danchen who lived in the Chang family, she would not necessarily become like Chang Jingqiu.
Although people are born good, how a person grows up is also related to education. However, old Madam Ruan felt that it was also related to the root. For example, if Chang Jingqiu's root was bad and she had such a dark temperament, what good could she grow up to?
Even if it was the first time they met, old Madam Ruan was very confident in Ruan Danchen. She believed that if it was her, even if she was spoiled to the heavens by the Chang family, her nature would not change.
Besides, how could a child who did not go astray in difficult times, or blame the heavens and others and have a crooked temperament be changed by a little spoiling?
Even if she had never met Chang Jingqiu, old Madam Ruan trusted her granddaughter 100%. She would not misunderstand that Ruan Danchen was speaking ill of Chang Jingqiu.
In fact, when it came to protecting her children, old Madam Ruan was probably the same as old Madam Chang, just that she was more reasonable than old Madam Chang.
