Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He picked up the pen and wanted to write something on the paper, but it still didn't come out.
Just when Ruan Xingwan was about to give up and leave, a cold male voice came from behind: "How did you find this place?"
Ruan Xingwan turned around and saw Xie Rong standing over her. The car accident seemed to have left a scar on his face, running from the left side of his face to his chin.
It also made him look a bit scarier than before.
Ruan Xingwan said: "Let's talk somewhere else."
As soon as they exited the alley, four or five children ran over in groups. One of them accidentally bumped into Ruan Xingwan and stopped immediately.
The little boy stood there rubbing his hands. When he saw a big cloud of dust on the ground where he was hit, he suddenly became very nervous: "Yes... I'm sorry..."
Ruan Xingwan smiled and patted his head gently: "It doesn't matter, let's go play."
The boy glanced at her timidly, then looked at Xie Rong.
Seeing the latter nodded to him, he regained his smile and ran away.
Looking back, Xie Rong said: "This place is dirty and messy. Aren't you afraid of coming here alone?"
Ruan Xingwan said calmly: "How can anyone have a terrible heart?"
Xie Rong was silent and said nothing.
After walking outside the alley and standing on the lawn, Xie Rong said, "Why did you come to me?"
Whether it was Ruan Jun's previous debt or Wen Qian's matter, it had been so long ago. There was no reason for Ruan Xingwan to come here to find him because of these two matters.
Ruan Xingwan looked at him: "I want to know where Ruan Jun is. You should be able to find him."
"Ruan Jun?"
Xie Rong frowned, "Isn't he already dead?"
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Yeah, maybe he's not dead yet, he's back again."
Xie Rong could roughly guess what Ruan Jun would do after he came back without asking.
I have to say, being his daughter is really disgusting.
Xie Rong said again: "Why do you think I will help you?"
"You are not helping me, you are helping yourself."
Ruan Xingwan looked at the leaves blown by the wind, and said after a while, "Ruan Jun is blackmailing me with the photo of me being sent to Twilight three years ago. Do you think you can escape the responsibility if I call the police?"
?"
Xie Rong frowned and said nothing.
Ruan Xingwan added: "I'm very grateful to you for sending me to the hospital, so I can stop pursuing this matter as long as you help me find Ruan Jun.
And in addition, I will give you corresponding rewards and will not let you help in vain."
Xie Rong now, although Ruan Xingwan went to the police station to close the case before leaving, and the police have stopped chasing him, the Zhou family has not let him go. He does not dare to show up openly and can only do it every day.
Hiding here and there where you can't even see him.
Now Ruan Xingwan obviously no longer intends to estimate the father-daughter relationship with Ruan Jun. Once she calls the police and the police start investigating what happened back then, the situation will only be worse than now.
After a long time, he said: "I can help you find Ruan Jun, but I want one million."
"Can."
The studio has been making profits in the past few months, and she can still scrape together one million.
Xie Rongdao: "I will contact you in a week at most when I find him."
Ruan Xingwan nodded gently: "Thank you."
Hearing these two words coming from her mouth, Xie Rong was obviously a little startled. He probably never expected that Ruan Xing would say thank you to him in the evening.
Ruan Xingwan had finished talking about the matter and there was no need to stay here anymore. After giving him a slight nod, he left.
Xie Rong looked at her back and didn't know what he was thinking.
…
When Ruan Xing returned to the studio in the evening, it was already noon.
When she was about to ask Pei Shanshan if she had eaten, Pei Shanshan glanced at her and looked towards the office.
Ruan Xingwan was stunned for a moment, then understood.
She walked to the office, opened the door, and saw Zhou Cishen sitting at the desk.
The man lowered his eyes and looked at the drawing in front of him, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
Ruan Xing closed the office door at night: "Why is Mr. Zhou here?"
Zhou Cishen raised his eyes and looked at her: "I miss you."
She was silent before saying, "Mr. Zhou, could you please stop saying such greasy words next time?"
Zhou Cishen turned the office chair to face her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms: "I'm just expressing my thoughts, there's nothing greasy about it."
Ruan Xingwan struggled to stand up and said angrily: "This is the office, don't mess around!"
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up, and his eyes fell on the dust on her clothes: "Where have you gone?"
"Let's just go for a walk. Where else can we go, but it can't be to drink and dance at the disco."
Zhou Cishen said: "You do think so."
Ruan Xingwan curled his lips and looked at the time again: "Has Mr. Zhou eaten? If not?"
"No."
"If you haven't eaten yet, go home and eat. Let Aunt Zhang cook it for you."
Zhou Cishen: "..."
He exerted force on his wrist and pulled Ruan Xingwan into his arms again, his dark eyes narrowed dangerously: "Are you kidding me?"
Ruan Xingwan suppressed the smile on his face: "I'm serious, Mr. Zhou is so picky, the food outside must not be to your taste, it's better to go home..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and then Pei Shanshan's voice came: "Xingxing, someone is looking for you."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Okay, come right away."
She took off Zhou Cishen's hand, straightened her clothes, and hurriedly ran to open the door.
When Pei Shanshan saw this, she couldn't help but remind her, "My hair is messed up."
"..."
"Tsk, what are you doing in broad daylight?"
Ruan Xingwan's face turned red when she said that, and he pulled her aside while arranging his hair.
When she arrived at the lounge and saw someone coming, she was slightly surprised: "Auntie."
Sitting inside was Cheng Wei's mother.
She stood up and smiled at Ruan Xingwan: "I ran over here without saying a word. Will it disturb you?"
"Won't."
Ruan Xingwan said, turned to Pei Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, pour me a cup of tea."
Just as Pei Shanshan was leaving, Cheng Wei's mother said, "Don't bother me. I'll just say a few words and leave."
Pei Shanshan saw that they seemed to want to chat alone, so she wisely withdrew.
Ruan Xingwan said: "Aunt, please sit down."
"Hey, okay."
After sitting down, Cheng Wei's mother said: "Xingwan, let me first apologize to you for Xiao Wei. He did something wrong. His father and I have severely criticized him."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Auntie, don't say that. It's me who should apologize. I shouldn't deceive you."
Cheng Wei's mother held her hand: "Silly boy, how can I blame you? You are also filial."
