When Xu Wan came back from answering the phone, she saw exactly this scene. She was neither in nor out.
Jin Yuexi's eyes fell on her, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Why are you here."
"I……"
Ruan Chen stood up and said to Mr. Jin: "You have a good rest, we are leaving first."
Mr. Jin nodded and sighed: "Let's go."
Ruan Chen walked to the door, took Xu Wan's hand and walked out.
In a hurry, Xu Wan could only nod to Mr. Jin and leave with Ruan Chen.
When Jin Yuexi saw this, she understood everything immediately. She pointed at the back of their leaving figures and asked, "Is she the girlfriend Ruan Chen mentioned?"
Mr. Jin drank tea: "They have known each other for several years. Tell me why he wants to be with you."
Hearing this, Jin Yuexi frowned even more: "But they are not suitable. Will Uncle Lin agree to his marriage to a female star? He and I are a perfect match!"
"If you are a good match, you also need to see if you have feelings."
Mr. Jin put down his teacup, "Besides, what does it have to do with you whether your Uncle Lin agrees or not? Can you marry him if he doesn't agree? Yue Xi, you know what kind of character Xiaochen is. No one can force him."
Do something he doesn't want to do.
What's more, you also know that your Uncle Lin will hardly interfere in his choices."
Jin Yuexi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Mr. Jin also stood up with a cane: "You are not young anymore. Don't always have a temper like a child. Now Ruan Chen is just avoiding you and not saying anything unpleasant. That is leaving you with a bad temper."
You are saving face for me, and you are also saving face for the Jin family!"
"But without you, the Lin family wouldn't be where they are today."
Mr. Jin was speechless for a moment: "Why don't you kid listen? The Lin family is what it is today. It's the Lin family's own ability. Uncle Lin, Xiao Chen, and Sister Ruan, all of them are where they are today without their hard work."
Achievements, you are really..."
Jin Yuexi murmured in a low voice: "After I returned to Nancheng, I heard a lot of rumors about Sister Ruan. Without Zhou Cishen, I don't know where she would be."
Old Jin picked up his crutch angrily: "You..."
Seeing that he was really angry, Jin Yuexi said, "I understand, and I will never bother you again!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away.
Mr. Jin was so angry that he stood there with his crutch for a long time, unable to calm down.
…
On the way back, Xu Wan kept holding her cell phone, her head hanging slightly, wondering what she was thinking.
She raised her head several times to look at Ruan Chen, but she hesitated to speak.
After a while, Ruan Chen's voice came: "What do you want to ask?"
Xu Wan raised his head, looked at him, then looked forward, and whispered: "Actually, it's nothing..."
"Want to ask Jin Yuexi?"
"...Almost, I heard her say that she was sent abroad because her parents died when she was a child?"
Ruan Chen hummed in a low voice: "Her parents passed away in an accident. During that time, Mr. Jin had to deal with her parents' funeral affairs and had all kinds of trivial matters, so he sent her to her aunt's house.
Already."
"Then...she hasn't come back for so many years?"
"Lao Jin went to pick it up, but by that time, she had become accustomed to living with her aunt, so she didn't come back.
Moreover, Mr. Jin was afraid that he could not take good care of her and that she would think of her parents and be sad when she came back, so he only went over to see her occasionally."
Xu Wan nodded: "Then she is actually quite pitiful. She lost her parents at such a young age."
"There are many poor people in the world, and she is the luckiest one."
Xu Wan looked at him: "It's good to be able to enjoy all the hardships."
At least, life is not always bleak and dull.
There happened to be a red light ahead. Ruan Chen slowly stopped the car and looked sideways at her: "As long as we can get out of the past, every minute and every second is a new beginning."
Xu Wan was startled, and suddenly realized that there was something in Ruan Chen's words.
Yes, in fact, new beginnings exist all the time.
It’s just a matter of whether you are willing to take this step.
Xu Wan looked out the window, the sunshine was bright and dazzling.
As soon as the sun came out, all the haze had been dispelled.
…
The little guy stayed at Xu Wan's place for almost a week and brought a lot of joy and happiness to Xu Wan's life.
So when he stood at the door with a small schoolbag on his back and waved goodbye to her, Xu Wan felt a little reluctant to leave.
She squatted in front of the little guy, put his hat on, and pinched his cheek.
Zhou Jianan came close and hugged her: "Auntie, I will miss you every day."
Xu Wan smiled and patted his back gently: "Whenever you want to come to my aunt's place to play again, you can..."
"Just call uncle!"
Xu Wan: "..."
Ruan Chen laughed: "Let's go."
The little guy came out of Xu Wan's arms and waved to him again: "Goodbye, aunt."
Xu Wan stood up and said, "Goodbye."
She watched Ruan Chen take the little guy to the elevator door and press the elevator button.
Just when Xu Wan looked a little lonely, Ruan Chen turned back without warning and kissed her gently on the lips: "If you really can't let go, I will pick him up every weekend from now on."
