He is From Great Sea of Stars - Chapter 145
“She likes Ruan Lan very much, and she has always wanted a daughter, but as I just told you, sometimes, many things in the world are really not what one wants. But don’t worry, my friend is not narrow-minded. People, even if you adopt Ruan Lan, you can still treat her as a daughter, and she can also call your parents.”
In the small hall, the man was sitting at the dining table, holding a glass of sugar water in his hands, and his tone was earnest.
He has been in the circle for so many years, and he has already practiced the skill of observing words and expressions. He could clearly see that the middle-aged woman’s eyes were shaken.
Thinking of what Huo Xingchao had said before, Director Yang took out a stack of neatly arranged RMB from his pocket and put it in front of her.
“It’s 30,000 yuan, because my friend stays abroad all the year round, so after adopting Ruan Lan, he may take her there too, and there won’t be many opportunities to meet with you, so this is for you. pensions.”
The 30,000 yuan was all the wages that Huo Xingchao had filmed for more than a month. Because he had to deduct the money to buy a mobile phone, he also advanced several thousand yuan from Director Yang.
This pile of money was the cash that the assistant went to the town to withdraw from the bank early this morning. It was a thick pile and placed on the table, so that Ruan’s father and Ruan’s mother could see straight.
You know, 30,000 yuan was given by Director Yang when he looked at the boy’s thin body and quiet eyes.
After all, as one of the protagonists of the show, Ruan Lan was paid only 20,000 yuan, and she had to deduct taxes, and she smuggled away 3,000 yuan by herself. In the end, it was less than 10,000 yuan left in Ruan’s mother’s hands. ten thousand five.
The living standard in Huai Village is extremely low, and the total living expenses of the Ruan family cannot exceed 5,000 yuan a year.
So this stack of 30,000 yuan, in their eyes, is simply a huge sum of money.
No, it may be a little exaggerated to say that the huge sum of money is a little exaggerated, but at the very least, it is an extremely cost-effective transaction.
After all, the girl Ruan Lan was not her own. If it wasn’t for fear that her family would find out that she was wrong, Mother Ruan wanted to lose her back then, so she would have to support her.
She forced herself to stay still and asked,
“You said, your friend is going to take Ruan Lan abroad? In other words, will he live abroad all the time?”
really.
It was exactly the same direction as the boy guessed.
Although Director Yang didn’t know why Huo Xingchao wanted to emphasize this, but since he had agreed to the other party, he still had to do a complete set of the play.
He smiled,
“Yeah, she used to live abroad. She recently returned to China to visit her relatives. I happened to see this show and liked Ruan Lan very much. So if she was adopted, she would probably have to take her back to where she lived.”
“Although the environment is unfamiliar abroad, there is still a guarantee in terms of education. When the time comes, it will be more convenient and simpler than studying abroad to study in a famous Ivy League school.”
“certainly,”
The man took a sip of tea and said slowly,
“If you really don’t want to, we won’t force it. After all, the most important premise for this kind of thing is that both parties benefit. And my friend, she actually…”
“Of course we would.”
Mother Ruan interrupted him directly, with an eager smile on her face, “How could we not be willing.”
Then after two or three seconds, she probably also felt that her behavior didn’t seem right, she quickly restrained her expression, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.
“Director, your friend, we must be trustworthy. I’m just too happy. I’m glad that Lanlan can have such a great fortune.”
The middle-aged woman’s tone was somewhat wistful and sad,
“You also know that with the conditions of our family, even if we work day and night, we still can’t afford her. She’s uncomfortable, and we don’t feel well in our hearts, but what can we do… Fortunately, there are still good-hearted people in this world. Your friends have taken a fancy to her, which is also Lanlan’s own blessing. How can I stop her from having a good life. Do you think so?”
… Why is it so awkward to say that?
It was the first time Director Yang heard that the child was adopted out, and he actually said that it was the child’s good fortune and good fortune.
He looked at the woman in front of him.
Her complexion is dry and yellow, her hands are covered with thick calluses, and her clothes are very simple. If it weren’t for those eyes that were staring at the stack of money on the table, she would look like the most unpretentious country woman with no culture. , facing the loess and back to the sky, he spent his whole life running around for the livelihood of his children.
At first, he thought so too.
But Director Yang suddenly thought of the young man’s indifferent expression and repeated requests, and thought of his calm tone,
“You don’t understand, sometimes, the most honest people in this world are also the most vicious people, because they don’t understand the law and the correct three morals. For them, stealing a child is like stealing a child. Like a cabbage, in their hearts, this kind of thing may be wrong, but it’s definitely not a big mistake, just worshipping Buddha easily and everything will be fine.”
“Stealing children?”
“I’m just making an analogy.”
He leaned back slightly and looked at Xu Yang, who was talking on the podium, with a little mockery and a smile in the corners of his eyes.
“However, no matter how dirty it is from now on, it has nothing to do with her.”
“A relative like that is not a blessing.”
……
He thought that at this age, he didn’t expect to see the wrong person.
Whether it was the child or the woman in front of him, he was wrong.
Therefore, in this world, the appearance of skin is the most deceiving.
Just like actors and singers in the entertainment industry, good drama and good songs do not mean good character.
Some people look thin and thin, but their hearts are stronger and richer than anyone else. Some people look honest and simple, but in private they are full of cunning and meanness.
Director Yang pushed the money on the table forward, the smile on his face has become very polite,
“Anyway, this is our little intention, and I hope you will accept it. Tomorrow, my friend will bring Ruan Lan back to go through the formalities. At that time, I have to ask you to cooperate.”
“Hey, don’t worry, we must cooperate, we must cooperate.”
Mother Ruan nodded again and again, and while accepting the money on the table, she said righteously, “This, I shouldn’t have accepted it, but after raising it for so many years, I have to think about many things. This money, we Save it for Lanlan as a dowry, and when she gets married, give it to her together to give her more confidence.”
Director Yang smiled and said nothing.
In such a scene, he knew it as soon as the other party opened his mouth, but he just maintained the gloss on the surface, and there was no need to dismantle it.
Anyway, just like what Huo Xingchao said, this place will never come back after leaving.
Anyway, there is not a trace of nostalgic taste.
……
Ruan Lan’s adoption procedures went smoothly.
Both sides cooperated very well, and Director Yang still had some relationship here, and the procedure went very fast. It was almost completed in the morning when he came back in the morning.
At a quarter past three, Ruan Lan was officially removed from the Ruan family’s household register.
She opened her eyes to see that the seal was changed, and the second the red stamp appeared on the paper, it was as if something was peeled off from the bottom of her heart, and her whole body became light.
She is no longer that woman’s daughter.
Either legally or by blood.
At the Lu family’s side, when she got the paternity test, she thought calmly for two hours, then ran out the door overnight and went to find Mrs. Lu.
At that time, the Lu family were all there.
Lu’s father and mother, Lu Zhiya, and several of Lu Zhiya’s classmates.
Ruan Lan didn’t hesitate for a moment, and threw the identification book on the coffee table, and then said in a cold voice in their stunned expressions,
“I took the test from Aunt Lu and I. If you don’t believe me, you can take the test again.”
She didn’t realize it herself, even though her expression was calm and her eyes were cold, her voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
And one sentence, without beginning or end, makes people confused.
Father Lu frowned, stretched out his hand and opened the identification book, and within five seconds, his fingers stopped there.
At that moment, Lu Zhiya swore to see her father’s complexion change dramatically, and then closed the document with a heavy tone,
“Zhiya, I have something to do at home today. You can send your classmates.”
“dad……”
“Your name is Ruan Lan, isn’t it?”
The man stared at her with dark eyes, then glanced at the puzzled wife beside him, took a deep breath,
“Let’s go to the study and talk.”
– At that time, what he thought was that his wife betrayed him.
After all, the plot that only happens in TV dramas like changing children, normal people would never think that it would happen to them anyway.
But the girl stood in the study, her eyes fell directly on him, without the slightest fear, and even with a little anger,
“Tomorrow, let’s take the test again, me and you, me and Mrs. Lu, and Lu Zhiya and you,”
I don’t know why, but from this sentence, Father Lu seemed to feel a huge unease.
Later, they did a paternity test and found the private hospital and doctor most trusted by Father Lu, and the results were expedited as soon as possible.
There were a total of four appraisal reports, and he turned over them one by one.
Ruan Lan and himself: In line with the law of inheritance, the probability of paternity is greater than 0.9999.
Ruan Lan and his wife: In line with the law of inheritance, the probability of paternity is greater than 0.9999.
Lu Zhiya and herself: No direct blood relationship.
Lu Zhiya and his wife… have no direct blood relationship.
No matter how stupid Father Lu was, he knew exactly what happened.
When his wife was pregnant, she happened to be nostalgic, and Ruan Lan was from nostalgia.
Mrs. Lu, who was on the side, saw her husband’s shocked and dazed expression, and took out the appraisal report in his hand. She couldn’t understand the comparison data in front of her, and her eyes fell directly on the final result.
When I saw the first one, I stumbled and almost fainted.
Lu Zhiya was at a loss, she didn’t know what happened at all, she could only shout in panic,
“Dad, Mom…”
She felt the eyes of the girl next to her.
Cold, with a bit of hatred, with a bit of ridicule makes people very uncomfortable.
What’s the matter, isn’t this the country girl in their class who filmed the show?
Last night, the classmates were still laughing at her at home, saying that she was finally leaving, and that there was finally no need for a camera in the classroom all day.
But why, she suddenly found her own home?
What did Mom and Dad see, why did they show such an expression again?
Lu Zhiya felt like she was about to cry.
Compared to her, Ruan Lan’s expression was much calmer. She stood at the door of the living room, holding her phone in her hand, and asked softly,
“Uncle and aunt, now the results are out, do you recognize me?”
There was still a sentence lying on the screen of the mobile phone.
“Lanlan, you’re just asking for an attitude. At the very least, they haven’t done any kind of nurturing to you. If they are willing to recognize you, you can consider other things. If not, then they have nothing to do with you. Don’t panic, don’t be afraid. You don’t owe anyone.”
She is not afraid.
She didn’t steal or rob, she didn’t do anything wrong, she stood here dignifiedly.
No matter what the result is, she can accept it calmly.
Because she will always remember that when she was ten years old, on her birthday, the woman beat her to death because she put a little more detergent in the dishes. It was Huo Xingchao who rushed in and took her away.
Aunt Huo gave her medicine and made her a bowl of longevity noodles. Brother Huo bent his lips and said to her, “Make a wish, your wish for a whole year’s birthday will definitely come true.”
She smiled and nodded.
Then he closed his eyes and made a wish.
“Hopefully I can become an orphan without a parent.”
She didn’t know what life was like without her parents, sleeping in the air, or starving to death.
But at that moment, she would rather starve to death than have such a pair of parents.
Therefore, the moment the paternity test report came out, she knew that whether the Lu family recognized her or not, it was the best result for her.
Ruan Lan looked away from the adoption document and blinked, thinking of the hesitation and pain in the eyes of the parents before leaving this morning, she smiled and blinked back her tears.
She thought that her brother had never lied to her.
My birthday wish will definitely come true.
But it doesn’t matter, because there is such a good Huaguoshan, so Sun Wukong can become the Monkey King alone.
