When Ao Rui was preparing for the wedding, Ruotong went to see Zhu Surong alone. She hadn't seen Zhu Surong for a long time, and she was about to become Zhu Surong's daughter-in-law, so she should go see Zhu Surong, both emotionally and rationally.
She made a special detour to the flower market and bought a bouquet of orchids.
"Ruotong, you are here, come in and sit down," Zhu Surong warmly greeted Ruotong into the room, while asking with concern: "How is the child?"
"Arui is fattening me up," Ruotong joked. Then, she handed the orchid to Zhu Surong.
When she saw the orchid, Zhu Surong's eyes overflowed with joy. "Thank you, this is my favorite flower." Even though she was happy, her voice was still as soft as the wind. This is the calm temperament she has trained for many years.
Ruotong's eyes were soft and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "When I first saw you, I thought your temperament was elegant and I thought orchids were the most suitable for you."
Zhu Surong asked Ruotong to sit on the sofa, and then placed the flowers in the vase on the dining table. After the flowers were placed, she walked to Ruotong with a smile. "I knew you when I saw you for the first time.
Definitely not a prostitute. Sure enough, my guess was correct, but I didn't expect you to be Ah Rui's fiancée." Her expression was filled with unexpected joy.
Ruotong's smile was a little awkward. Although she knew that Zhu Surong would not despise her like Ao Zhongming and others, the more calm Zhu Surong's attitude was, the more embarrassed she became. Because at the beginning, except for Su Muyu, she hid it from everyone, including Zhu Surong
.
After a while, Zhu Surong had already peeled an apple, handed it to Ruotong, and said with a smile: "Pregnant women should eat more fruits. Eating fruits will make the skin of the fetus white and tender." Between his actions and words, there is no lack of care from the elders, and he cannot hide it.
Live the joy of becoming a grandmother.
Ruotong showed a flattered smile and then took the apple.
Zhu Surong looked thoughtfully at Ruotong who was nibbling the fruit, and then sighed: "Your charm is very similar to your mother's." Although the mother and daughter are not very similar in appearance, their charm is almost the same.
Zhu Surong began to wonder why she couldn't see it at the beginning. Maybe she was deceived by Monroe.
Mother? Ruotong put down the apple in his mouth and looked stunned. "Madam, do you still remember my mother?"
"More than remember? Your mother and I are best friends." Zhu Surong explained.
This time, Ruotong was even more surprised. She didn't know that Zhu Surong was actually her mother's close friend. When her grandfather was alive, the Long family and the Ao family were close friends, but she was still young at that time, only a few years old.
After her mother passed away, she never saw Zhu Surong once. Seven years later, her impression of Zhu Surong became even more vague.
Seeing Ruotong stunned and speechless, Zhu Surong asked her with a smile: "Don't you have any impression of me at all?"
Ruotong tried hard to recall everything about her mother's life, but she just couldn't remember the part about Zhu Surong. So she shook her head and said, "I don't remember." Her expression was a little disappointed.
Zhu Surong smiled again, but there was no disappointment in her smile. Instead, she took everything very lightly. "Since I divorced A Rui's father, I rarely go to Long's house. I usually invite your mother to go out or I
We meet in this apartment now. Moreover, we haven’t seen each other for seven years. It’s normal for you not to remember me.” Even though we met at Lu Yinman’s funeral, Ruotong was crying so hard at that time that there was no trace of her.
Remember her mood? So, she doesn't blame Ruotong at all.
"I never knew that you were my mother's best friend during her lifetime." Ruotong was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. Now she finally understood why she felt strong maternal love every time she saw Zhu Surong. It turned out that she felt strong maternal love every time she saw Zhu Surong.
, Zhu Surong was my mother’s best friend during her lifetime.
Zhu Surong hugged Ruotong gently. "So I have always hoped that you would marry into our Ao family and take care of you on your mother's behalf. This was also your mother's last wish."
Thinking of her late mother and seeing her mother's shadow in Zhu Surong, Ruotong's tears fell. She didn't expect that before her death, her mother told Zhu Surong to treat her well, and she and Zhu Surong hit it off as old friends.
Is it the mother's arrangement?
"Don't cry. It's easy to hurt your eyes. Pregnant women shouldn't be too excited." Like a mother, Zhu Surong gently stroked Ruotong's shawl-length hair and coaxed her like a child.
When Zhu Surong brought Ruotong to her study, Ruotong was surprised by the elegance of this study.
The table, chairs, bookshelf, and floor are all made of fine logs. The table faces the window, with a home-style computer and several books on it. Various books are neatly arranged on the bookshelf.
It can be seen from the appearance that the owner is good at taking care of and managing. Among them, the photo of Zhu Surong and Lu Yinman is placed alone on a certain frame. The two women are leaning together, smiling like flowers, and they look particularly dazzling.
Ruotong gently stepped forward, picked up the photo of her mother and Zhu Surong and looked at it quietly. It was obvious that their friendship was very good.
"I have met all kinds of people, but none of them can give me the feeling of a confidant like your mother. Having one confidant in life is enough!" Zhu Surong stood next to Ruotong, recalling her best friend Lu Yinman, her eyes overflowing.
The light of gratitude and the expression also carried a hint of grief for losing a close friend.
During the days when she divorced Ao Zhongming, her life seemed to be walking in a dark tunnel. If Lu Yinman hadn't accompanied her to comfort her, she didn't know how long it would take for her to get out of the shadow of divorce.
Ruotong gently stroked her mother's photo, and the memories of her mother flooded over her like a flood.
Then, Zhu Surong told Ruotong her story with Lu Yinman.
While listening, Ruotong felt a little sad and a little happy. She had the same temperament. Now she finally understood why her mother and Zhu Surong became close friends, because their mother and Zhu Surong had very similar personalities.
The story of Zhu Surong and Lu Yinman would take about three days and three nights to tell. After about an hour, Zhu Surong paused and left the study, preparing to make a pot of Ruotong. Looking at Zhu Surong's bookshelf, he found that the variety of books was all-encompassing.
One of the bookshelves is dedicated to books by the writer Zhu Surong. Ruotong thought that Zhu Surong liked books by a writer named Zhu Surong just like him.
After Zhu Surong brought the hot tea in, Ruotong asked her: "Madam, do you also like Zhu Surong's books?"
Zhu Surong put the hot tea on the desk, and then answered Ruotong's question. "Ruotong, I wrote those books." Her attitude was very calm, not impetuous, not complacent, and the sun shone on her warm face.
, making her look more beautiful.
Ruotong stared at Zhu Surong with wide eyes and disbelief. "Are you Zhu Surong?"
"Are you surprised?" Zhu Surong asked with a smile.
"I can't calm down anymore..."
"What's wrong?"
"You are a writer I have liked for seven years since I was a freshman in high school. I didn't even know you were Ah Rui's mother." Ruotong did not expect that the fate between people can be so clever. Zhu Surong is not only her favorite
A writer, but also her mother’s best friend and her soon-to-be mother-in-law...
"Oh, really?" Zhu Surong was also surprised when she heard what she said.
"No wonder I thought you were so elegant when I saw you for the first time." Ruotong looked at Shenfei with an excited expression.
Looking at Ruotong who couldn't calm down, Zhu Surong's smile turned deep. "Ruotong, I'm going to be your mother-in-law. Don't call me madam anymore. This will make you unfamiliar," looking at Ruotong who still couldn't react.
, she reminded with a smile: "You should change your name to mom."
Ruotong lowered his head shyly, feeling embarrassed.
"What are you embarrassed about? You and A Rui are about to get married. After you get married, you and A Rui will both call me mom." Zhu Surong walked over, took Ruotong's little hand, and laughed at her.
After a while, Ruotong finally overcame his shyness and embarrassment and called Zhu Surong: "Mom."
Zhu Surong smiled sweetly, and then said to Ruotong: "Remember, you will call me this in the future."
Ruotong didn't say anything, just hugged Zhu Surong lightly and made a promise silently.
Ruotong took a car home in the afternoon. When dinner was almost ready, the maid came to call her downstairs to prepare for dinner. She sat on the soft sofa in the living room, reading a magazine, and waiting for Ao Rui's return.
No matter how busy he is, Ao Rui will definitely take the time to come back and have dinner with him. After dinner, he will go back to the study most of the time and bury himself in a mountain of work. But at ten o'clock, he will go back to the room to sleep with her.
, after she fell asleep, he would get up again to deal with business matters, until early in the morning, he would go back to bed and fall asleep with her in his arms.
At seven o'clock, Ao Rui walked in with his briefcase. Seeing him, Ruotong put down the magazine in his hand and walked towards him with brisk steps. The little bird hugged him lovingly, holding up a piece of paper full of happiness.
smiling face. "Back?"
Ao Rui hugged her, then lowered his head and gave her a kiss, gently caressed her jade-white cheek, and asked: "Did you eat the lunch prepared by the nutritionist for you today?" The first thing he does when he comes home every day is
Just ask her if she has listened to the nutritionist and doctor.
Ruotong nodded slightly.
Then, he let her go, changed into slippers, and took off his suit.
After the two entered the dinner table, Ruotong mentioned to Ao Rui about going to Zhu Surong's place today.
"You saw me reading your mother's book before, but you didn't tell me that Zhu Surong was your mother." Ruotong's tone was slightly reproachful, but he didn't mean to be really angry.
Ao Rui thought of her former mistress, and the smile on her lips seemed to be reminiscent of memories. "At that time, you denied that you had the habit of reading, and even more denied that you liked my mother's books."
"I..." Ruotong's face turned red with embarrassment, and she suddenly forgot the lie she had told him.
"However, I knew you were lying at that time," Ao Rui said in a sarcastic tone, with a smile in his deep black eyes, like a hunter looking at his prey. "Your acting needs to be improved." That came to his mind.
When she was lying, I actually thought she was extremely cute.
Oops, I didn’t expect that he would see all this. Ruotong hurriedly buried his little face in the rice bowl and lowered his head to eat the rice, but he had no shame to face Ao Rui who was smiling cunningly. At that time, he naively thought that he was responsible
She has great potential as an actor, but she didn’t expect that Ao Rui was the cunning person hidden deep inside. He simply dug a hole and waited for her to jump into it, and in the end she didn’t get it. Why did she feel that she was like Little Red Riding Hood?
The feeling of being caught by a wolf? But the little face buried in the rice bowl smiled particularly sweetly.
