My Groom Ran Away - Chapter 30
The weekend passed, and it was a busy Monday again.
As soon as it was time to get off work, Ruan Zhiyin received a call from Cheng Yuelin just after reading the capital flow and expenditure of the Beicheng project sent by Xiang Bin this season.
The man still said concisely: “Parking lot.”
“Why did you come so early today?”
Ruan Zhiyin glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the notebook, and there were still ten minutes to get off work. Although she doesn’t have to check in at some point, the impression of leaving early to employees is not good.
On the other end of the phone, Cheng Yuelin chuckled back: “Isn’t going to accompany you back to the old house? Wait for you a while.”
On Wednesday and Friday, Ruan Zhiyin will go back to the old house to chat with her grandpa, and Cheng Yuelin will accompany her if she is not busy.
She hurt her foot last week. She was afraid that her grandpa would be worried, so she only made a few calls and didn’t go there in person.
After she hung up the phone that day, Cheng Yuelin seemed to say something, when her feet are almost better next week, he will accompany her back to the old house.
It’s only recently that she has been too busy, so Ruan Zhiyin put this behind her head.
Hung up the phone and simply packed up.
Ruan Zhiyin got on the elevator and got out of the parking lot when the employees were stuck at get off work time.
The old house is in the east of the city, not far from the company.
Bentley slowly stopped at the courtyard door of the old house, Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin got out of the car together.
The sickness was too painful. Father Ruan had to take a lot of painkillers every day, and he fell asleep most of the time.
During this period of time, the old man’s bones became weaker, and he could not even get out of a sick bed.
Ruan Zhiyin was faintly prepared in his heart, but contradictoryly, he didn’t want to let himself think about things that hadn’t happened yet.
Dispelled the panic and walked into the living room.
Ruan Zhiyin saw Lin Cheng and Lin Jingfei sitting on the sofa at a glance.
The medical cooperation case received from Qin Jue was forced to shelve. Lin Cheng had constrained quite a bit during this period, and he did not make trouble with Ruan Zhiyin at the company.
Before the construction of the North City project, he secretly wanted to move his hands and feet, but Xiang Bin discovered that he only came to the old house every day to surround the old man to show his hospitality.
Ruan Zhiyin was not surprised by his approach, presumably in Lin Cheng’s eyes, he took advantage of the last time to please the old man in order to benefit.
Lin Cheng’s ability to do business is not outstanding. It was also the rumor that Qin Ju had a deep love for Lin Jingfei, which made the Lin family feel that they were relying on it.
And now—
Ruan Zhiyin glanced at Lin Jingfei, the other party was haggard a lot, her cheeks were so thin that she couldn’t hold her flesh, she looked normal with thick makeup.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ruan Zhiyin did not say hello to the two people in the living room, and handed the things he had brought to Steward Liu, and said, “Uncle Liu, is Grandpa awake?”
“Wake up, you and Mr. Cheng can go straight up, and Mr. Ji is also talking to the old man.”
Ruan Zhiyin nodded, holding Cheng Yuelin upstairs.
Every time they come to the old house, they always pretend to be more intimate.
The door of the room was open, and the old man was half lying on the bed, his wrinkled face looked a little bit ashamed.
The outline became clearer and thinner.
Ji Yijun sat on the edge of the bed, quietly peeling an apple.
Ruan Zhiyin pursed her lower lip, knocked on the door, and shouted with a smile: “Grandpa, uncle.”
Cheng Yuelin looked at the atmosphere of the room calmly, and then greeted him.
“Yinyin is here.” The old man’s smile was a little weak, his eyes were chaotic, and his voice was hoarse. “Yijun, do you see that Yinyin has gained weight recently?”
Ji Yijun glanced at Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin standing side by side, and nodded: “It seems a little bit.”
Cheng Yuelin chuckled loosely, lowered his head, and said lightly: “Yinyin has indeed eaten a lot recently.”
After speaking, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, and squeezed her cheeks in front of his grandfather.
Ruan Zhiyin blushed, not knowing how to react.
She didn’t eat dinner before, but during the time she lived with Cheng Yuelin, she also ate dinner in accordance with his habits.
Seriously speaking, the weight is a few kilograms fatter.
This is a good thing in the eyes of the old man, but Ruan Zhiyin is really embarrassed.
“It’s good to be fat.” The old man seemed relieved. After speaking in a low voice, he paused, and said to Ruan Zhiyin, “Yinyin, I have something to say with Yijun, and you take Yuelin to go outside.”
This is a private matter to talk about.
Ruan Zhiyin didn’t ask much, and nodded in response.
Then turned around with Cheng Yuelin and closed the bedroom door.
When they went downstairs, Lin Cheng and Lin Jingfei were no longer in the living room. Ruan Zhiyin thought, the two of them should have returned to the room.
That’s right, she has to maintain her politeness on the surface at the old house, and she doesn’t want to meet people either.
When passing by the kitchen, Ruan Zhiyin caught a glimpse of Butler Liu who was helping Chen Ma to handle a large basket of water chestnuts. He let go of Cheng Yuelin’s hand and entered the kitchen.
“Uncle Liu, do you want to help?”
Steward Liu smiled and waved his hand: “No need, no need to do it, this stuff is sharp, miss you, don’t hurt your hand.”
Cheng Yuelin followed Ruan Zhiyin leisurely. Hearing what she said, he saw the hand of Liu Guanjia with the red dots pierced by the water chestnut, and said in a clear voice: “I’ll do it.”
Before Steward Liu declined, he had already taken the stool from the side and sat down calmly.
Seeing that Cheng Yuelin seemed to be a little interested, Steward Liu didn’t want to speak any more, and didn’t want Ruan Zhiyin to follow along. He turned his head and said, “Miss, why don’t you help me go to the attic to get a box to install the water chestnut.”
Ruan Zhiyin smiled and nodded: “Yeah.”
When she turned around, she glanced at Cheng Yuelin, who was following Chen’s mother to learn how to peel her skin.
The man frowned slightly, bowed his head intently to play water chestnut, his movements were clumsy but very interesting.
She shook her head, not knowing why this person became interested in water chestnut.
—
Ruan Zhiyin followed Mr. Liu’s words and went to the attic where the sundries were piled to get a clean carton for water chestnuts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he was blocked by the people waiting at the door.
“Cousin, I want to talk to you.”
Lin Jingfei was waiting here specially, she did have something to talk to Ruan Zhiyin.
But as soon as she finished speaking, when she met Ruan Zhiyin’s radiant face, she couldn’t help but clenched her hand: “Now my reputation is ruined, are you happy?”
Ruan Zhiyin chuckled and shook his head, and frowned, “You did it all by yourself, it has nothing to do with me.”
Of course she can’t say anything about happiness or unhappiness.
Even if Lin Jingfei is her cousin by blood, they didn’t grow up together, they just lived together for three years under the same roof.
Ruan Zhiyin does not regard Lin’s family as relatives, nor does he waste emotions for irrelevant people.
“It has nothing to do with you?” Lin Jingfei bit her lower lip as if she was irritated by her indifferent expression, “If it weren’t for you, how could Qin Yue really just ignore those hot searches?”
Qin Yue ignored him and asked her to come to Ruan Zhiyin, but how could Lin Jingfei bow her head to plead in front of Ruan Zhiyin?
She hoped that Qin Ju would always feel soft, and then help her remove the hot search afterwards. But he was so cruel, and watched as he was thrown into trouble by others.
They have been in love for more than ten years, and Lin Jingfei never thought that Qin Ju would do this to her one day.
Ruan Zhiyin looked at the other party with unwilling eyes, and said coldly: “Lin Jingfei, remind you again, I have nothing to do with Qin Yue. No matter what he does, I don’t have to pull it on my head.”
“Furthermore, if you can shoot the film down-to-earth, instead of thinking about shortcuts all day, you won’t necessarily end up like this.”
It was Lin Jingfei who insisted on entering the entertainment circle at the beginning, but if she has achieved more results in these years, the wind review will not become so bad.
“Well, even if Qin Jue has nothing to do with you now, what about Cheng Yuelin? If it weren’t for him, how could I be dragged down by Lin Zhe!”
Lin Jingfei hated Ruan Zhiyin’s upright attitude the most, and then mocked: “You look down on me so much, but don’t you rely on men yourself?”
Ruan Zhiyin’s face was slightly startled when she said that the person who took action against Lin Zhe last time was Cheng Yuelin.
After a few moments, she chuckled again.
“You think so, so be it. Cheng Yuelin is my husband. I don’t have to refuse his help, nor will I be clear with him because of your few words.”
Getting along with Cheng Yuelin during this period of time has made it much more difficult for her to feel relaxed that she hadn’t experienced in the past.
If Cheng Yuelin wants to continue the marriage for some unspeakable reasons, Ruan Zhiyin does not seem to want to refuse.
He said that she was too clear with others and would hurt others, so Ruan Zhiyin was also willing to learn to accept his kind help.
If one day he wants to take it back, then she will return the help to him in other ways.
It’s just these, there is no need to talk to Lin Jingfei.
Lin Jingfei obviously did not expect that Ruan Zhiyin would accept Cheng Yuelin’s help so plainly.
She doesn’t like Ruan Zhiyin, but she also thinks she knows a little about Ruan Zhiyin. In her impression, Ruan Zhiyin was always proud. Hearing her words about relying on men, it shouldn’t be this kind of reaction.
Seeing Ruan Zhiyin push her away and go downstairs, Lin Jingfei stopped her again: “You wait.”
Ruan Zhiyin frowned and turned back and saw that the other party took out a box, opened it and handed it to her.
“Return this jade Buddha to you.”
On the dark red velvet jewelry box, there is a transparent jade Buddha.
With one glance, Ruan Zhiyin recognized that this was the piece Qin Ju gave her in high school.
Planting water is much better than the dean’s piece.
At that time, she lost the dean’s Jade Buddha, and because of the few gatherings after returning to Ruan’s house, she developed some low self-esteem, so she hid in the attic alone to digest her emotions.
In order to comfort her, Qin Yue went to the mall and bought a similar jade Buddha. Ruan Zhiyin looked out, but didn’t say anything. After all, the other party was also kind.
Only on the eve of going abroad, this jade Buddha disappeared.
At the moment, it seemed that Lin Jingfei had taken it secretly.
However, what Ruan Zhiyin cared about was never the jade Buddha Qin Ju bought from the mall.
“I don’t need it anymore.”
The jade Buddha that the dean gave was originally hers.
Qin Yue helped her find it, and she was grateful, and she responded to this feeling.
As for the piece that Qin Yue bought from the mall, she has broken up with Qin Yue, and of course it is impossible to accept it again.
“It was my ghost who took the Jade Buddha secretly. I can apologize to you for this. But… you really don’t want it?”
The reason why Lin Jingfei came to return the Jade Buddha was just that she didn’t want to keep this matter, so that Qin Ju was deeply disappointed in her.
For Ruan Zhiyin, even Jiang Anzheng began to be alienated by Qin Ju.
Zhou Hongfei robbed Jiang Anzheng’s fiancée, and Jiang Anzheng’s face was discredited. But Qin Yue saw that his friend had been so embarrassed, but he didn’t have a word of condolences.
Lin Jingfei knew that Qin Ju had already understood this, and Jiang Anzheng had designed him to escape the marriage.
He doesn’t want to doubt the people around him, but once he finds betrayal, he won’t give extra trust.
Ruan Zhiyin shook his head: “Of course I don’t want it. Since you like this jade Buddha, please keep it away.”
She only hoped that she would never have to deal with the entanglement between Lin Jingfei, Qin Yue and others.
—
After the old man had finished talking with Ji Yijun, he looked a little more tired.
Ruan Zhiyin didn’t want to disturb his grandfather’s rest, nor did he want to stay to play with the Lin family, and then left the old house with Cheng Yuelin.
On the way back, looking at Cheng Yuelin who was sitting beside her leisurely, she couldn’t help but speak.
“You did what Lin Zhe did?”
For some reason, when Lin Jingfei just heard about this, Ruan Zhiyin was stunned and not surprised.
There is only a strange sense of contradiction in my heart.
When Cheng Yuelin heard the words, he glanced sideways at her and nodded lightly: “Yeah.”
Seeing her opened her mouth, he smiled and blocked her again: “Ruan Ting, don’t thank me any more. I did this because I wanted to do it.”
What Lin Zhe had done made him particularly uncomfortable. He was sent to jail, and he was well deserved for what he did wrong.
Even if this is related to her, it is also his own pleasure, and he does not want her to thank her.
“Then… I’ll make you pork ribs with sauce tomorrow.”
Ruan Zhiyin withdrew the thanks that came to his lips.
Cheng Yuelin responded with a soft hum.
She can remember his food preferences, and of course she happier than politely thanking him.
After a while, he lifted his eyelids and looked at her with his chin: “So can you tell me how Lin Zhe offended you?”
Ruan Zhiyin’s expression paused slightly, and he pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, “In fact, it was nothing. At that time, the Lin family urged Lin Zhe to be courteous with me. When Lin Zhe went back to hide something in my room, I stabbed him with a knife, and then he was afraid. Fuck me, no longer entangled.”
When Cheng Yuelin saw her lightly skipping everything, his deep gaze was brewing inquiries.
“Oh? What is he hiding?”
Ruan Zhiyin pursed her lower lip: “Camera.”
There was silence in the carriage.
For a long time, Cheng Yuelin suppressed the emotion of forbearance.
Slowly stretched out his hand and touched her head: “Well, it’s all over. Ruan Qiqi, you have always been brave.”
brave?
Ruan Zhiyin was stunned, and inexplicably thought of the first side he met with Cheng Yuelin.
It was midsummer and the weather in Lanqiao was sultry.
On the first day of the second year of high school, she completed the transfer procedures at the Academic Affairs Office, and did not have to report to the class that day.
Just when he was out of school, Ruan Zhiyin happened to meet Ye Yanchu who was stopped by Yang Xue and others in embarrassment.
She paused slightly, even if she made up her mind to keep a low profile, she couldn’t ignore it after all.
Ruan Zhiyin turned around and left quietly.
A few minutes later, she brought in a teacher by asking for directions, and smoothly helped people out.
As for Ye Yanchu, she obediently followed the teacher back to the classroom.
After all this, Ruan Zhiyin was about to leave, but Yu Guang saw a figure in school uniform.
Cheng Yuelin sat on the wall leisurely, his brows and eyebrows were arrogant, and he looked at her condescendingly.
The young man whispered, and then said: “This classmate, you are…cowardly and brave.”
I don’t know if it’s complimenting or sarcasm.
In an instant, Ruan Zhiyin understood.
The teenager sitting on the wall is a student who skips class.
It just so happened that the dean who sent Ye Yan to the class for the first time walked back to Ruan Zhiyin to find out about the situation—
In such an embarrassing manner, he caught Cheng Yuelin, a bad guy.
They also took over Liangzi.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Ruan Zhiyin smiled and looked at him, responding to the compliment about ‘brave’.
The bell suddenly rang, Ruan Zhiyin took out his mobile phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was an old house phone.
After it was connected, Butler Liu’s voice was anxious—
“Miss, it’s okay. The old man scolded Mr. Lin, and then fainted with anger. Mr. Ji has already sent the old man to the hospital!”
With Father Ruan’s body, it was obviously not a trivial matter to be sent to the hospital at this time.
Therefore, Steward Liu is so nervous.
As soon as the voice fell, Ruan Zhiyin’s face turned pale, and his heart surged with anxiety, as if he had some bad premonition, and the hand holding the mobile phone was also faintly trembling.
She gritted her teeth and felt a dazed panic.
“Ruan Zhiyin, look at me!”
The man’s low voice sounded in his ears, barely recalling Ruan Zhiyin’s thoughts.
Cheng Yuelin looked at her face, held her hand, sighed, and said softly: “Ruan Ting, don’t be afraid, let’s go to the hospital now, eh?”
Meeting his calm eyes, Ruan Zhiyin was taken aback and let out a sigh of relief, and nodded lightly.
The knuckles shrunk slightly, and the temperature from the palm of his hand calmed the flustered mind a little.
Yes, grandpa is still in the hospital, she can’t be afraid.
The author has something to say: The following is a great leap of emotions. The first two chapters write about daily life not to slow down the progress, but to enter the important plot of the emotional part not too abruptly~
The Lin family will be cleaned up and off the assembly line, and Cheng Zai will carry his daughter-in-law this month.
The reason why holding a daughter-in-law at the end of the month is that there was an ambiguous period before the sound of the voice is aware of the mind. I like this period of ambiguity between the two people’s mind and the play. Everyone is shy about the song, don’t worry.
