Mother and daughter were a little tired as they cried. Zhan Yilin had the strongest heart. She was the first to wipe away her tears and comfort Liang Shuxian, "Mom, don't cry. Let's wipe away our tears first to avoid swollen eyes."
I doubt it, we can’t let my sister-in-law see the flaw."
When Liang Shuxian heard this, she could only grit her teeth and hold back her tears, then stood up and pretended to be calm.
However, when people cry for such a long time, their eyes will always become red, whether big or small, light or heavy, but they are all very obvious and you can tell at a glance that you have cried.
In order not to be noticed by Xu Rongrong, Zhan Yilin took Liang Shuxian for a walk in the old house, occasionally talking, but most of the time, she was silent.
"Dad, tell him in private. The three children are all sensible, but they are young after all, so it's better to keep it a secret." Zhan Yilin gritted her teeth and said.
"Hey, okay." Liang Shuxian agreed.
Then, there was silence again.
After walking for a while and washing her face with cold water, the swollen eye bubbles finally subsided a lot. Zhan Yilin sighed and helped Liang Shuxian back to the living room.
As soon as we entered the living room, three children were having fun playing on the computer. Commander Zhan was reading a newspaper opposite, but Xu Rongrong was not seen.
"Where's the sister-in-law?" Zhan Yilin's heart suddenly sank. They say that people who love each other have feelings in their hearts. Could it be that the sister-in-law knows something?
"Go back to the room and take a shower." Commander Zhan lowered his head and was still reading the newspaper.
Liang Shuxian was silent for a moment, then walked over and whispered in Commander Zhan's ear, "Old Zhan, come back to your room with me."
She was afraid that Commander Zhan would not be able to accept it and made a noise that would alarm Rongrong.
Commander Zhan raised his head, glanced at Liang Shuxian doubtfully, nodded, and followed.
Putting aside how Liang Shuxian told Commander Zhan this bad news, Xu Rongrong came downstairs just after Commander Zhan left the living room.
She was wearing dark clothes and her face was a little pale, but she had no other expression. When she saw Zhan Yilin, she smiled at her.
Zhan Yilin felt strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she could only smile at her, then walked up and held her hand, "Sister-in-law, um, my brother has been recently..."
Originally Zhan Yilin wanted to tell Xu Rongrong a lie about what Zhan Yiyang had done, but to her surprise, she opened her mouth and Xu Rongrong interrupted her with a smile, "I know, your brother
I went to City S to handle company matters, and I may have to come back for a while."
Zhan Yilin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Liang Shuxian must have said this on purpose to reassure her. Fortunately, Xu Rongrong interrupted her, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing if the two of them had said something different.
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, I heard that the company in City S is in big trouble. I guess my brother will have to struggle for a while." Zhan Yilin said with a smile.
"Yeah." Xu Rongrong nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly walked to the dining table, apparently waiting for dinner.
Zhan Yilin was stunned again. She didn't know why. As soon as Xu Rongrong came out, she felt something was wrong. She couldn't tell what was wrong, so in the end, she could only think that she was overthinking.
"Then, let's wash our hands and eat," Zhan Yilin smiled sarcastically. Zhan Yilin took Chen Haoran to wash her hands and sat across from Xu Rongrong.
At this time, Commander Zhan and Liang Shuxian came down from upstairs. Seeing that Commander Zhan's face was obviously much gloomier than before, he should have known it. However, since he didn't get angry but pretended to be as usual, it seemed that he was with Liang Shuxian and Zhan Yilin.
We all have the same opinion, first keep it a secret from Xu Rongrong, and keep it secret for as long as you can.
When she came to the dining table, Liang Shuxian first showed a kind smile to Xu Rongrong, "Rongrong, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom will cook it for you?"
"Just eat normally, Mom." Xu Rongrong smiled calmly, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a bit weak, "I'll help Tianning and the others eat."
After saying that, he turned back to the living room and said calmly, "It's time to eat, wash your hands."
The very simple words made everyone present think that it was Zhan Yiyang who was speaking.
However, they quickly remembered that with such a strong blasting sound, such high dust, and Zhan Yiyang throwing himself to block the grenade, his chance of survival was simply too small.
If people could survive, then Zhan Yiyang would not be so urgent in asking everyone to leave first.
Moreover, even if Zhan Yiyang did not die in that explosion, the men in black would definitely not give him a chance to survive.
Under such a situation, Zhan Yilin didn't even have the courage to see if Zhan Yiyang's bones survived.
"Mom." Tianning washed her hands and sat next to Xu Rongrong, just face to face with Zhan Yilin.
Zhan Yilin looked at Tianning and almost shed tears.
This is her brother's only bloodline. If the organization comes to seek revenge later, she must protect Tianning and the last bloodline of the Zhan family.
Thinking that Xu Rongrong was still here and that the three children didn't know that they no longer had a father, Zhan Yilin forced back her tears.
She suppressed her sore nose and smiled at Tianning, "How are you doing with your homework recently?"
"A very good aunt." Tianning was a quiet child. She didn't speak after sitting next to Xu Rongrong. Now when Zhan Yilin asked him something, she smiled calmly and answered.
That expression and appearance were simply a miniature version of Zhan Yiyang.
Zhan Yilin took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and left.
Chen Haoran knew full well that she saw Tianning's appearance and couldn't help crying when she thought of Zhan Yiyang. But she didn't want Xu Rongrong to see it, so she went to the bathroom to finish crying alone.
Sure enough, Zhan Yilin quickly went to the bathroom and quickly locked the bathroom door.
Chen Haoran walked to the door, knocked gently, and whispered, "Yilin, it's me."
After a brief pause, the door was opened and he was allowed to step in.
Chen Haoran saw Zhan Yilin's eyes filled with tears at a glance. He stepped forward with distress and put Zhan Yilin into his arms, then patted her back gently, "Don't be sad, Yilin, after all, we haven't seen Yiyang with our own eyes...
...So, maybe he survived. After all, he was such a powerful person, how could he die like this?"
He used the palest words intermittently to comfort Zhan Yilin.
Because everyone knows that the possibility is too low.
Zhan Yiyang led his men to blow up their lair and so many generals, how could they let Zhan Yiyang go?
"Haoran, I just feel sad when I see three children. They are still so young and they don't have a father. Just like when I was a child, I didn't have a mother when I was very young. No family is complete without a father or a mother.
Home." Zhan Yilin lay in Chen Haoran's arms, crying and sobbing.
"Stop crying, Yilin. Didn't you agree to hide it from your sister-in-law? If your eyes are swollen from crying, how can you hide it from her?" Chen Haoran felt really sorry for Zhan Yilin's crying, so he had to use his trump card.
Sure enough, the next second, Zhan Yilin stopped crying.
Chen Haoran then patted her with relief, then straightened her body and wanted to wipe her tears.
But when her hand touched Zhan Yilin's face, where she was trying hard to hold back her sobs, but couldn't control the tears in her eyes, she felt heartbroken again.
I feel bad at the same time and hate myself at the same time.
"Yilin, don't cry. It's all my fault. I should have replaced Yiyang at that time. I..." Chen Haoran said sadly, but after just a few words, Zhan Yilin covered his mouth.
The woman shook her head and looked at him with red eyes, her eyes filled with distress, sadness and guilt, "Haoran, don't say that. I feel sad without any of you, but I know that my brother is his responsibility as the leader.
It is a fate that we soldiers cannot escape. So I beg you, don’t blame yourself, because it is not your fault."
She is sad without her brother, and she will still be sad without her lover.
So there was no choice in this kind of matter, and she didn't want to make a choice, let alone make a choice.
What's more, what happened has already happened, no matter how sad it is, there is no need to cry. The plan for now is to take good care of his sister-in-law and three children for his brother, instead of lamenting here why he didn't die for him.
Thinking of this, Zhan Yilin took a deep breath to let her sobs gradually subside, then turned on the faucet and rinsed her face with cold water.
Because the redness and swelling in her eyes were too obvious to be eliminated, Zhan Yilin dipped a towel in cold water and applied it on her face for a few minutes, and then she couldn't even see it anymore.
If it weren't for fear of suspicion, Chen Haoran wanted to get ice cubes, but was stopped by Zhan Yilin. She took out the isolation and foundation from the waterproof bag placed next to her, and applied a little bit on it, covering it up and leaving a little exposed.
The area was slightly red and swollen, so I walked out of the bathroom with confidence.
At this time, Mrs. Li had already served all the food. Zhan Yilin and Chen Haoran had just sat down and started eating.
"Come on, Rongrong, eat more." Liang Shuxian diligently served Xu Rongrong some food, caring about her several times more than before.
Zhan Yilin pulled her quietly, meaning not to be too obvious, lest Xu Rongrong notice something was wrong. After all, Xu Rongrong was very smart and sensitive.
But to her surprise, Xu Rongrong kept accepting Liang Shuxian's food with a calm smile, but did not doubt Liang Shuxian's sudden attentiveness and concern.
Regarding all of this, Zhan Yilin just felt strange, but couldn't find what was strange about it, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Thank you, Mom. I'm almost full. You can eat too." Looking at the dishes on the plate in front of him, Xu Rongrong put down his chopsticks and smiled lightly at Liang Shuxian.
"Ah, oh, I know, I'll eat it now." Liang Shuxian, who had been frantically picking up food for Xu Rongrong before, only now saw clearly that Xu Rongrong was full of food in front of her. She realized that she was exaggerating, so she could only sneer.
She smiled and then lowered her head to eat. She was just as worried as Zhan Yilin, fearing that Xu Rongrong would be suspicious.
However, Xu Rongrong behaved exactly as usual. Not only did he not have the slightest suspicion, but he kept smiling, smiling, smiling calmly.
There seemed to be no other expression on her expression except a smile.
