The atmosphere in the car became silent and ambiguous.
Huddled in the passenger seat of his car, Ruan Bai felt much more at ease with him beside him for some reason.
After thinking for a long time, Ruan Bai concluded that the source of this sense of security was that the two were related by blood.
When you stay by your brother's side, you will feel extra at ease. This logic does not seem to be wrong in ordinary brother-sister relationships.
Gradually, Ruan Bai really fell asleep.
She felt relieved that she had finally found the position she was supposed to be in. Psychologically, she regarded him as her brother. In this way, it was no longer unethical for the two of them to be alone together.
Mu Shaoling drove the car to a toll station. When he passed the toll station, he turned his head and glanced at her huddled up in the passenger seat. In the past few days, she had not been able to eat well or sleep well, and even fainted.
Finally took a break.
The black Land Rover was driving smoothly on the road. Mu Shaoling would glance at the co-pilot from time to time. Only when he saw that she was awake and sleeping soundly did he feel relieved.
Until the car drives into a small town, potholes are unavoidable on the road in the town.
When Ruan Bai woke up, her body felt sore and uncomfortable. She looked around before realizing where she was.
Holding his suit jacket with her fingers, she looked at the man in the driver's seat and said, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
Mu Shaoling concentrated on driving, turned a corner, drove in the direction of her home, and asked casually: "Why did you say sorry when you fell asleep?"
Ruan Bai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He drove to the small town overnight to help her find her grandfather. It took too long to drive, and the driver was lonely and bored. It was better to have someone with him to talk to.
But she accidentally fell asleep.
It must have been very boring and hard for him to drive this way.
…
City A.
Zhang Xingan played outside until after midnight before going home.
Zhang Yide went to bed early and woke up suddenly when he heard the sound of a car driving into the villa.
After waking up, he pushed his wife who was sleeping beside him: "Wake up, wake up quickly."
My aunt woke up and looked at her uncle in confusion.
"Is your son back? You brat, look what time it is!" The uncle was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He couldn't beat his son anymore as he got older.
My aunt got up and looked at the time. It was indeed very late.
Before my son went to jail, he had been playing outside day and night. He didn't come home until midnight. As he was playing, something happened and he ended up in jail.
"I'm going downstairs to take a look, but don't go down there." The aunt was worried that her uncle would go down and start a fight with her son. As she said this, she put on her clothes, pulled on her slippers, and walked out of the bedroom.
The uncle sighed and leaned against the bed, unable to sleep, and punched the old-fashioned pillow with his fist.
The aunt went downstairs and came back from outside just in time to see her son.
After changing his slippers, Zhang Xingan looked up and saw his mother who looked unhappy.
"What's wrong, you're still up so late? You're getting older, so you don't get beauty sleep anymore?" Zhang Xing'an said sweetly as he prepared to go upstairs.
The aunt was not beguiled by her son's sweet words and said, "Stop."
Zhang Xingan stopped, turned around, and looked at his mother.
The mother and son looked at each other, and there were tears in the aunt's eyes, and she poured out all her grievances: "When you come home in the middle of the night, you want to piss your dad and me off, right? No wonder Mu Shaoling can't see it.
With your cousin's brother, even if you fall in love with a female secretary, they won't support you! Tell me about you, apart from your good skin, what else about you looks like a human being and what deserves respect from others!"
Ever since he was a child, Zhang Xingan has been better-looking than ordinary boys, and his aunt is extremely proud of this.
But who would have thought that it was this good skin that attracted countless women to fight for him, which led to his cynical, amorous and flirtatious character.
If given a choice, my aunt would rather that her son be extremely ugly from birth!
Mu Shaoling is Zhang Yali's son, and Zhang Yali is Zhang Yide's sister. Although her aunt knew Zhang Yali when she was young, the relationship was not very good.
My aunt disliked Zhang Yali from the bottom of her heart. She disliked poverty and loved wealth, and was famous for her willingness to climb high at all costs.
At this age, he still remains stubborn.
Because she doesn't like Zhang Yali, her aunt naturally doesn't like Zhang Yali's son Mu Shaoling either.
If we look deeply into her inner thoughts, her aunt actually knows that she is jealous of Zhang Yali and jealous that Zhang Yali has a son who is naturally disciplined and excellent.
Most importantly, Mu Shaoling also gave birth to a pair of twins and grandsons to Zhang Yali early.
"I live my life, he lives his, why do I need him to respect me?" Zhang Xing'an didn't drink today and was very sober. He frowned and looked at his mother.
"Why do you think you need his respect?!" My aunt cried angrily, pointing to the living room full of guests in the evening and said: "The circle of rich people in City A is so big, who doesn't know anyone? Take this afternoon for example, Zhang
Yali didn't come to the family and friends gathering held by our Zhang family because of a small fashion event in the entertainment industry. Do you know how many people secretly laughed at our Zhang family!"
My aunt did not dare to say these words to her husband, for fear that he would think that she was being hypocritical.
What can she do? She can only swallow her anger and tell her son, hoping that her son can live up to his expectations!
Zhang Xing'an saw the wrinkles at the corners of his mother's eyes and his mother's bitterness. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Go back to sleep. It is not anyone else's turn to support or support whoever I marry. I just want to marry that little girl back to you."
After saying that, Zhang Xingan turned around and went upstairs.
The aunt looked at her son's leaving figure, gratified, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
In a small town.
Mu Shaoling got out of the car, held the iron rope at the door with his big hand and moved it, and found that there was no sign that it had been opened.
The courtyard walls are very high and there are no ladders.
There are no lights in the yard either.
"Grandpa didn't come back." Mu Shaoling turned around, lowered his head and said to Ruan Bai.
Ruan Bai stood there with his head buried in silence, but the quieter she became, the more he felt distressed. He walked over and took her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry, we'll wait for news from the police." He reassured in a deep voice.
In the silent air, there was gradually the sound of her wanting to inhale but not daring to actually inhale. Mu Shaoling suddenly raised her face, and sure enough, he could clearly see the big drops in her eyes.
tears.
"Don't cry." Mu Shaoling didn't know how to say comforting words, especially to girls. He could only hold her tightly, press her head into his arms, and caress her cheeks and head with his warm hands.
With her thin shoulders, she tightened her arms, wanting to wrap her completely into her body.
Ruan Bai is afraid that something will happen to his grandfather.
