At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Jiadong said to Zhang Youbin: "Let's go there now. If we wait until we finish eating before going back, it will get late, and it will be even more embarrassing if we turn back and delay others' rest."
Zhang Youbin nodded and said, "Then I'll call Ruoran now." After speaking, Zhang Youbin took out his cell phone and called Chen Ruoran.
"Hello, Zhang Youbin."
"It's me, Ruoran, are you at home now?" Zhang Youbin asked.
"Well, I'm at home. Are you coming over now?" Chen Ruoran asked.
Zhang Youbin hummed and asked, "Are your uncles and aunts here?"
"They are also at home." Chen Ruoran replied truthfully.
"Okay." Zhang Youbin smiled and said, "Then let's go there now."
Although Zhang Jiadong did not want to travel too ostentatiously, his status still determined that the security work must be done seamlessly, so it was almost the same as usual travel. The guards followed five cars, one in the lead car and four other cars.
Two in front and two in back sandwiched the car in which Zhang Jiadong and Zhang Youbin were riding.
Chen Ruoran's father kept pacing at home. When he heard the news that Zhang Youbin and his grandfather, General Zhang Jiadong, were coming, he was very excited and nervous. He didn't even know what to say then.
Although Chen Ruoran kept comforting his father, it had no effect.
Finally, the lead car of the security company drove into the villa area first, and immediately checked the surroundings of Chen Ruoran's villa. Then the people in the first three cars got out of the car at the same time, and the entire villa was closely monitored.
At this time, Zhang Jiadong's car arrived at the door of Chen Ruoran's house.
The servant hurriedly opened the door, and Chen Ruoran's parents and Chen Ruoran also came outside to greet them. When Zhang Jiadong and Zhang Youbin walked up to them, Chen Ruoran's father wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhang Jiadong first shook hands with him and said, "Hello. I'm really sorry for disturbing you."
"General... General, you are really... too polite." Chen Ruoran's father said this for a long time, and his back was soaked with sweat.
Zhang Jiadong smiled and said: "What are you talking about? I would like to thank you and your daughter personally." Then, Zhang Jiadong ordered the guards behind him: "Go and get the things prepared in the car."
When the guards brought several boxes to them, Chen Ruoran's father quickly said: "Why are you still carrying things..."
Zhang Jiadong smiled and said: "You're welcome, they are just some things that are unique to the army, and they are not good things. Just don't dislike them. This is what my child and I want."
Chen Ruoran's mother said at the side: "Since it is a gift from the general, then accept it." She naturally understood that a person with the status of a general would not care about this with her. If she still insisted on refusing, she would be a little disrespectful.
.
Chen Ruoran's father could only say gratefully: "Thank you then!"
Zhang Jiadong smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so polite. We are here to express our gratitude to your family."
Chen Ruoran's mother was much calmer than her husband, so she greeted her warmly: "Come in and sit for a while. Don't stand outside all the time."
Chen Ruoran's father said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, please come in and sit down."
Zhang Jiadong said: "Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Chen Ruoran's parents took Zhang Jiadong into the house in person, while Zhang Youbin and Chen Ruoran walked behind. Chen Ruoran was a little embarrassed and whispered to Zhang Youbin: "My father is a little nervous, I'm sorry."
Zhang Youbin looked at Chen Ruoran and smiled lightly: "What's the point of being embarrassed about? If I say I'm sorry, I'm also embarrassed. Ruoran, I'm really grateful to you. Because I've suffered so much."
Chen Ruoran lowered his head shyly and said softly: "It's okay. I don't regret it at all. It was all of my own free will."
Zhang Youbin said to her sincerely: "If so, no matter if you are willing or not, I am very grateful to you, really! I didn't expect you to do this for me... I have caused you to suffer so much. I think
I will never feel at ease again."
Chen Ruoran smiled slightly and said with relief: "Isn't everything okay? I don't care anymore, why do you still care so much? We have known each other for so long, how could I know you were in danger and not tell you."
Zhang Youbin nodded solemnly and said: "I understand."
Chen Ruoran's parents had already invited Zhang Jiadong into their home, and the security guards had also moved in the gifts Zhang Jiadong had given them. Chen Ruoran's mother greeted Chen Ruoran and Zhang Youbin: "Come in quickly, it's quite cold outside."
The two had to speed up their pace, but there was no room for private conversation.
"Chief, you can come to our house in person, which has already made our family happy. Why do you need to bring anything?" Chen Ruoran's mother politely said to Zhang Jiadong: "Please sit down quickly, our house is not very good.
Don't mind."
Zhang Jiadong sat on the sofa and laughed: "It's already very good, much better than where I live."
Then, Zhang Jiadong said: "This time, I mainly want to thank your daughter and you in person. Because of the child's matter, Miss Ruoran has been implicated, and it has also caused you parents to worry. It is really unfortunate.
Sorry."
Chen Ruoran's father said: "You are too kind. Children are all friends, and friends should help each other. Besides, when we say thank you, we should be the ones to thank you. If it weren't for your grandson who saved us in the first place,
Ruoran’s family, I’m afraid our family Ruoran’s lives will be in danger.”
"Oh?" Zhang Jiadong had no idea about this matter. He looked at Zhang Youbin curiously and asked, "Jingjing, is there such a thing?"
Zhang Youbin nodded slightly and said, "Did you forget that I told you that the bank robbery was carried out because of a friend?"
Regarding the arrival of Zhang Jiadong, Chen Ruoran's family seemed quite nervous. However, Zhang Jiadong did not show off his bad temper and dignity that he had developed over the years. Instead, he went to chat with Chen Ruoran's family in a very approachable manner. This also made Chen Ruoran
The family gradually relaxed and started chatting with Zhang Jiadong about common topics, and enjoyed themselves very much.
Zhang Jiadong has also not experienced this kind of chatting involving no status and locked-down social relationships for a long time, so he chatted very enthusiastically, while Zhang Youbin and Chen Ruoran on the other side avoided the three of them and whispered.
.
I don’t know who brought the topic back to the children, but Chen Ruoran’s father smiled and said: “This girl in our family has been very naughty since she was a child. She is more playful than boys all day long. She was determined to go to the police.
School, I was unwilling to agree to it at first. I thought that if I came out of the police academy, wouldn’t I become a female Rakshasa? Who would have thought that since she came out of the police academy, she would become more and more sensible and more and more ladylike.
Already."
Chen Ruoran glanced at his father very shyly and complained softly: "Oh, Dad! Why are you talking about the past again?"
Chen Ruoran's father smiled and said: "I just want to tell you, Grandpa Zhang. This is a good thing. Is there anything I can't say?"
"Hey..." Zhang Jiadong sighed slightly and said: "My grandson has a hard life, and it's all my fault. That's why he has lived alone outside for so many years. I really didn't expect to see him again one day.
He...he is the only bloodline of our Zhang family, and after so many years, he finally came back safely."
Chen Ruoran's father said fearfully: "If Ruoran had informed Youbin earlier that day, he would have done something bad with good intentions! If Youbin ran away, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see him now. Let's talk about it.
It’s really thanks to my family’s servant Wang Ma who informed me of the urgent matter that Ruoran didn’t make a big mistake!”
Zhang Jiadong thought about it, but it was also true. If Chen Ruoran had arrived earlier, or if Wang Ma had not notified the police immediately, Zhang Youbin might have disappeared without a trace by now. How would there be a chance to meet him again?
However, he still smiled and said: "These children can't imagine it. If this girl can pay so much for Jingjing, I am really touched and grateful."
"Chief..." Chen Ruoran's father said hurriedly: "Why did you bring up this topic again? Besides, our whole family should be embarrassed."
Zhang Jiadong suddenly realized and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's my fault."
Then he added: "It's really hard for me to imagine that children could have such deep feelings before. Although Jingjing has lived a difficult life for so many years, I still have so many friends who can live and die together. I'm really happy."
, these are sincere feelings exchanged for flesh and blood, and they are more precious than anything else."
"Yes. At first, we were a little blamed for Ruoran's actions, but after hearing what she said, we couldn't refute it. The children have grown up, and they understand in their hearts who is good to them and who they should be good to.
, since they know everything in their minds, people like us should not be responsible for anything they do."
Chen Ruoran's father recalled what Chen Ruoran said to him when he saw Chen Ruoran in the detention center. He said with some shame.
"Yes." Zhang Jiadong said with a smile: "In my previous impression, Jingjing was just a seven or eight-year-old boy. When we met again, he had become a real man, and even had experiences and experiences that I could not imagine.
He is mature and will soon be 25 years old. It will not be long before he will start a family and start a business. All my hopes are now on him, and I only hope that his future will be bright."
"Oh!" Chen Ruoran's father asked curiously: "Then you want to bring Youbin into the army?"
Zhang Jiadong smiled and said: "I have great ideas in this regard. But the child is not ready to join this fucking business right now. His grandpa has a company in Zhonghai. In a few days, he will go to Zhonghai to help his grandpa first."
Chen Ruoran heard Zhang Jiadong's words and asked softly in Zhang Youbin's ear: "Are you going to Zhonghai?"
