Zhou Shuping already had a bad impression of Su Ran, and now she looked down on her even more. She was not an actress at all, but a female hooligan.
As soon as Su Ran got into trouble, Xiaodong ran away from the hospital. It is hard not to connect these two things together.
Zhou Shuping began to suspect that Tingting was deceiving her. Tingting was five years older than Xiaodong. When she and Lao Han were busy with work when they were young, it was Tingting who took care of Xiaodong. The two siblings had a good relationship and always protected each other. At the beginning, Tingting insisted on marrying Zecheng, but Lao Han did not agree. It was Xiaodong who stole the household registration book from home, so Tingting could register for marriage with Zecheng.
But to say that Xiaodong ran to an unknown small town on the border overnight for a woman he had just met... Zhou Shuping found it unbelievable. It must be a deep relationship for someone to be so desperate.
Besides, Xiaodong's cell phone was confiscated by her, and he could only watch TV. How did Xiaodong know the news on the Internet? Su Ran couldn't find Xiaodong even if she called him for help, and Xiaodong didn't have any money on him! Xiaodong's wallet and bank card were all with her!
So Zhou Shuping said, "This must be a coincidence. Xiaodong doesn't have a cell phone or a computer, so how can he get online? I guess he doesn't know about this yet. If he really went to the south, he can't come back now."
Jiang Xinyan knew that Han Dong didn't have a cell phone, and she was also puzzled by this, but she had a strong hunch that Han Dong went to find Su Ran.
Jiang Xinyan smiled awkwardly, "I'm just guessing. I know Han Dong doesn't like me, and I've let it go. We can't be lovers but we're still friends. As a friend, I sincerely hope he can find a good and reliable woman and live happily together for the rest of his life. Han Dong's achievements today are all earned with his sweat and blood. It's not easy. Don't let some people ruin his reputation and his bright future."
This touched Zhou Shuping's heart. Zhou Shuping opposed Su Ran so much, wasn't it because she was afraid that Xiaodong would be implicated by Su Ran? Just like Lao Rong's family, there were so many jokes and people pointed fingers at them. Lao Rong now felt ashamed when he saw his old comrades.
Zhou Shuping took Jiang Xinyan's hand and comforted her, "Xinyan, don't be discouraged. Everyone has confused moments. Xiaodong is confused now and can't see your good side. When he figures it out, he'll know that you're the best person for him. As for Su Ran, it's useless for Xiaodong to like her, unless he doesn't recognize me as his mother and doesn't want this family anymore."
"As for me, I don't have any other thoughts at this age. I just hope that you and Han Dong will get married soon and give me a big fat grandson. It doesn't matter if it's a granddaughter. I will help you take care of her, at least until she goes to elementary school. By then, I will have no regrets even if I die."
"Aunt, look at what you said. You and uncle will live to be a hundred years old. Maybe you can even have great-grandchildren!"
"Then I will get along with you only if you become my daughter-in-law. It would be so troublesome if you change to someone else." The more Zhou Shuping looked at Xinyan, the more she liked her. She was such a sensible child. In addition, Xinyan had a good relationship with the Gu family. The eldest son of the Gu family was in politics and held a high position, an important one. With the support of the Han family and the Gu family, Xiaodong himself was so outstanding. Whether he stayed in the army or returned to the local area to work in politics, he would have a bright future.
Jiang Xinyan smiled shyly, feeling bitter in her heart. She thought that as long as she could control her uncle and aunt, Han Dong would not be able to escape from her control. However, Han Dong was so opinionated and did not listen to his parents at all.
As he was speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open.
"Mom, I brought Xiaodong back." Han Ting pushed Han Dong into the door.
"You little rascal, you ran away without saying a word. Do you know how worried your mother is about you? Do you really have to make your mother angry and anxious to death?" Zhou Shuping cursed a few times and her tears fell first.
Han Dong walked to the bed expressionlessly, sat down and took off his shoes.
"Mom, I've already beaten him severely. He won't dare to do it again." Han Ting said.
"Why did you hit him? Don't you know he was injured? If he was hurt, I would never forgive you." Zhou Shuping immediately felt distressed and went to check if her son was injured.
"Mom, please take care of my eldest sister. There were so many people at the station. She started fighting as soon as she came up, and my brother-in-law couldn't stop her. We almost alerted the police." Han Dong pretended to be angry.
"How dare you talk about me? Don't you know you deserve a beating? Are you not satisfied yet? Do you want me to give you two more hits?" Han Ting said as she rushed forward.
Dong Zecheng quickly grabbed her.
Zhou Shuping stood in front of her son and said to Han Ting fiercely, "Try to move again? I'll skin you alive first."
"Mom, have you forgotten how anxious you were last night? I helped you teach him a lesson, but you scolded me." Han Ting said aggrievedly.
"I want you to find the person back. Who asked you to teach him a lesson?" Zhou Shuping was heartbroken. From childhood to adulthood, she herself had never been willing to touch her son, and yet this damn girl Han Ting actually dared to hit Xiaodong.
"Okay, next time he runs away, don't be angry with me and don't ask me to go find him. Just let him die outside." Han Ting said depressedly.
Zhou Shuping was furious: "How can you curse your own brother like that? Go, go, go, go quickly. I get angry when I see you."
Han Dong said, "Why are you leaving? I haven't had dinner yet. Go buy me something to eat."
"Eat your head. It will save trouble for everyone if you starve to death." Han Ting said unhappily.
Dong Zecheng took Han Ting and smiled at his mother-in-law: "Mom, Tingting and I will go buy some food for Xiaodong."
Zhou Shuping watched Han Ting and her husband leave, and said angrily, "I've never seen a sister like this, beating her brother at every turn."
It was the first time Jiang Xinyan saw Han Ting so aggressive, and she was a little scared. Han Dong seemed to be quite afraid of Han Ting.
"Aunt, Sister Han Ting is also worried about Han Dong and is anxious and angry." Jiang Xinyan advised.
Zhou Shuping sighed. Han Ting's hot temper was just like Old Han's, not like her at all. She turned around and asked her son gently, "Xiaodong, where did your sister hit you? Are you hurt?"
Han Dong lay down on the bed: "Xinyan, you go first!"
Zhou Shuping guessed that Han Dong felt it was inconvenient to talk with Jiang Xinyan around, so she said, "Yes, Xinyan, it's getting late, you should go back first."
Jiang Xinyan smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
Turning around, the smile froze into frost in her eyes. Han Dong's attitude towards her had improved after their last conversation, but this time he came back and was so cold to her again. If Han Dong had not gone to find Su Ran, she would be willing to cut off her head.
As soon as Jiang Xinyan left, Zhou Shuping asked with concern: "Where did you fight?"
"Headache." Han Dong rubbed his forehead aggrievedly.
"Did she hit you on the head again?"
"Um!"
"I will definitely teach her a lesson later. Xiaodong, where did you go this time? Where did you stay last night?" Zhou Shuping asked in a kind voice. She still had to ask for the sake of caution.
