As Ding Meijuan spoke, tears fell.
"mom-"
Ding Chuchu came out of the room just in time to see this scene, she paused in shock, turned her head and said, "I'm going downstairs, I want to eat ice cream."
Ruan Chengyi pulled his hand violently.
Seen by her daughter, Ding Meijuan was also very ashamed, stood up in a hurry, chased to the door and asked, "Do you have any money with you?"
"Take it with you."
Ding Chuchu probed into the room and found that Ruan Chengyi didn't want to go back immediately to avoid suspicion. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but lower his voice and say, "Mom, Uncle Ruan is also interested in you."
"Go, go, what do you know!"
Ding Meijuan scolded in a low voice, and closed the anti-theft door.
…
in the living room.
Ruan Chengyi didn't move, and lit another cigarette.
Ding Chuchu left, the small house with two bedrooms and one living room was so quiet that it made people panic.
Ding Meijuan never walked loudly. When she came to him, she sat on the small stool again, lowered her head, and looked at a loss after forgetting her love for a moment.
Neither of them spoke.
Ruan Chengyi took another two puffs of his cigarette, put it out in the ashtray, and called her, "Meijuan."
Ding Meijuan said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I said those words on the spur of the moment just now, I'm not ashamed..."
She raised her head, smiled softly and ashamedly, "Don't worry, I really don't have any unreasonable thoughts about you. I also know that as I am now, with a child behind me, most men look down on me, let alone What's more about you. Since you are in such a difficult situation, I will go back tomorrow, and I don't need Xiao Zheng to send me off. It's very convenient to take a bus."
Ruan Chengyi glanced at the kitchen, "You bought a lot of pots, pans and pans here, so you can't take them back? I'll talk to Xiao Zheng, and bring something home along the way."
"... That's going to cause you trouble again."
Ding Meijuan said with a wry smile.
Ruan Chengyi also smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said: "Let's do this first, I won't bother you. Let Xiao Zheng come over tomorrow morning, and you need to pack up the things you want to take home early, so as not to be in a hurry of… "
"good."
Ding Meijuan's smile was a bit forced, she got up after him, followed him silently, and walked him to the door without saying a word.
"Then I'll go back."
"Um."
Ding Meijuan nodded.
Ruan Chengyi turned and left.
Walked to the elevator, pressed the down button, but never heard the door closing.
For some reason, I felt guilty.
When people get old, they like to miss the past.
Ding Meijuan's submissive appearance just now appeared in his mind, and he vaguely remembered her quiet and soft girlish demeanor when they were at the same table in middle school.
Decades have passed by, her temperament has not changed, she is pure and weak.
Unlike Zhao Bingzhi—
Always strong and cold, aggressive.
…
Twenty minutes later, Ruan Chengyi returned home.
In the living room, Wen Ru was comforting Zhao Bingzhi: "Since Chengyi promised to let that woman go back, he must do what he said. Don't worry about it. Listen to Sister Wen's persuasion, everything is going well at home. There are a lot of us adults, don't worry about it." Getting angry for that kind of woman has lost your value for nothing."
These words vaguely reached his ears, and Ruan Chengyi paused when he changed his shoes.
Zhao Bingzhi is the child of a cadre, or an only seedling. His family has been served by a driver and a nanny since he was a child. His superior background is incomparable to a self-made businessman like him.
He still remembered back then, when the two fell in love, the father-in-law had just been promoted, and when he visited for the first time, he was intimidated by the straight guards at the gate of the compound. He was amazed by his black back.
At that time, he thought, it would be a fantasy if his parents would like him as an outsider for such a young lady with a prominent family background.
To his surprise—
Zhao Bing knew that both parents were very good, one was gentle and polite, the other was educated and reasonable, and they knew everything about his background, but they never showed the slightest contempt or arrogance.
He also naively thought that with the help of his father-in-law, he would be able to make waves in the Ningcheng business district just around the corner.
Who would have thought that after getting married, Zhao Bingzhi not only had a cold relationship with his parents, but also didn't move around very often with her natal family.
The family business he has accumulated over the years is all his own hard work.
Sighing, Ruan Chengyi changed his shoes, walked to the living room, and said to Zhao Bingzhi, "Okay, let the past go. I have already agreed with Meijuan that she will go back tomorrow. Pots, pans and pans are all messed up." Things, I think it is better to let Yun Kai deliver something, and also bring some things to my parents."
"..."
Zhao Bingzhi nodded, "That's it."
Ruan Chengyi looked at Wen Ru, and asked with a smile, "Where's Yue'er?"
"I didn't come out in the study after I came back. I just sent a glass of orange juice up and saw that I was doing my homework." Wen Ru glanced upstairs worriedly, then turned her head, her voice lowered a decibel, "It seems His face was still a little red, probably because he felt ashamed, and he didn't mention going to the remedial class. I didn't say that you were a little too aggressive this time. That child has kissed you since he was a child, how sad it is... "
"I know, I know, it's my fault."
Ruan Chengyi sighed, and while walking upstairs, he took out his mobile phone and transferred another 50,000 yuan to the bank card for Ruan Yue's daily allowance.
After this operation, he arrived at the door of the study on the second floor.
The villa of their family has four and a half floors, one basement floor, three floors above the ground plus a glass greenhouse and a terrace on the top. They live as a couple on the third floor because there are very few guests, and the second floor is almost Ruan Yue's alone. In Tiandi, she has a bedroom with a cloakroom with 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, plus a large study room with a piano, a projection TV, a whole wall of bookcases, and a balcony.
"Moon-"
Ruan Chengyi raised his hand and lightly knocked on the door twice.
No one answered.
He guessed that Ruan Yue was still angry, so he pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Ruan Yue sitting at the desk studying, he smiled and said, "It's good to read more books, and you have to combine work and rest. Dad just gave you a card transfer." If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, let your mother go out with you to go shopping and buy something."
With her head down, Ruan Yue turned the page of the book and ignored him.
Ruan Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and leaned over to look at her face, "Let Dad see if her face is healed."
"Go away."
Ruan Yue paused while holding the pen, and said without raising her head.
Ruan Chengyi's outstretched hand just stopped in mid-air. Thinking of Ding Meijuan's words just now, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He withdrew his hand and coaxed again: "What happened yesterday was my father's fault. Dad is here." I apologize to the little princess. I also agreed with Auntie Ding that Xiao Zheng will send her back tomorrow and will not come to Ningcheng again."
Ruan Yue looked up at him, "Really?"
"Really, Dad promises."
Ruan Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and made a gesture of swearing to the sky.
In the past and present lives, many things have changed invisibly, Ruan Yue didn't know if she could trust him...
After a long while, she said, "I'm doing my homework."
"Okay, okay, you write, Dad won't bother you."
Seeing that her complexion and tone had softened, Ruan Chengyi stopped being annoying, and after speaking with a smile, he turned and left the study.
Ruan Yue watched him go out, and then looked at the book, somewhat absent-minded.
"Buzz buzz—"
The phone on the table vibrated suddenly.
Fu Zhixing sent a WeChat message saying: [The boy in the school who secretly filmed us said that a director privately messaged him and wanted your contact information, can I give it?]
director
Ruan Yue was taken aback, and asked him: [What director?]
Fu Zhixing sent a voice request.
After listening to him explain a few words, Ruan Yue probably understood.
Because the photos of her and Fu Zhixing's early reading that were secretly taken had caused a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet, and they were accidentally noticed by an assistant director who was casting for a movie. The director privately messaged the boy and asked him to help find her. The boy didn't know her, so he asked a friend for Fu Zhixing's WeChat account, and wanted to contact her through Fu Zhixing.
Such a thing, how many people caught off guard.
Ruan Yue thought for a while, then refused, "I won't give it, I never thought about filming and becoming an actor, please help me convey it, just say that I don't want to."
"OK."
Fu Zhixing also agreed with her decision, and said over there, "Those strangers on the Internet may not be trustworthy. Filming will definitely delay your studies, and it's not worth it."
Ruan Yue smiled lightly.
Fu Zhixing stayed there for a while, and asked her softly, "Have you reconciled with your father?"
"Um."
Ruan Yue responded.
Fu Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good," he didn't cut off the voice immediately, Ruan Yue could hear his breathing over there through the receiver of the mobile phone, and she didn't cut off the voice either After a while, she heard Fu Zhixing calling her again, "Ruan Yue."
"Um."
"Then I hang up first?"
"good."
The call was cut off.
Ruan Yue took the phone away and looked at it, feeling a little lost in her heart.
—
Beijing city.
A hotel restaurant.
The middle-aged man with beards threw his mobile phone on the table, picked up chopsticks to pick up food, and said depressedly: "This little girl is quite difficult to talk about!"
"What little doll?"
There was a young man on the opposite side with a curious look on his face.
Before the bearded man had time to answer, another handsome young man next to him smiled and said, "It's not about the casting of "Entrepreneur". Director Pan accidentally saw a photo on the Internet, and called the little girl Playing the white moonlight in Teacher Meng's heart, Director Xu has been busy for a long time, helping the contact person."
Swallowing what was in his mouth, his bearded face looked distressed, "You know that Dao Pan has a very tricky eye. What do you want to say, you have to have a cool and gentle temperament, and you have to have a girlish look, a new face, and you must not be older than that." In my twenties, my beard is going gray for such a small role that lasts less than ten minutes!"
"puff-"
The young man on the opposite side let out a snort, and comforted him perfunctorily, "Take a closer look, you can't just find someone to fool you with Teacher Meng's Bai Yueguang. This Director Pan has already called the name, so just find a way to invite him, Did you forget the time he didn’t call names earlier? Twenty people!”
The young man made a "2" with his hands, and his face was filled with lingering fear, "The twenty of us almost visited all the film schools in the country."
The bearded man's expression changed, and he nodded sharply, "You're right!"
It's just a little girl, he still doesn't believe it can be done.
After drinking a glass of wine, he turned his head and said to the young man next to him, "Zhou Yu, buy a ticket to Ningcheng, and you can go with me tomorrow."
…
Monday, after morning exercises.
In the classroom of Class 29 of Senior High School, several girls gathered around Ding Chuchu's seat, chattering to comfort her.
"Don't cry."
"Yes, Chuchu, don't be sad."
"You didn't cry all night last night, your eyes were swollen."
"What's the use of crying?!"
Sun Jing watched her tears streaming down her face, and said angrily, "Why is your mother just like you, so easy to bully?! His father will go back if he asks him to go back. He is not a servant of their family. Why should he be punished?" They are shouting and drinking!"
"Keep your voice down."
A girl next to her pulled down her sleeve, turned her head and glanced at the group, "Ruan Yue is still in the classroom, don't let her hear you."
"Let her hear what's going on!"
Sun Jing shouted angrily, "I was just about to ask her, can I be reasonable, can I bully people like this if my family has money?!"
Her voice was too loud, and only half of the people in the classroom did not go out. Hearing this, one or two eyes fell on Ruan Yue.
Ruan Yue actually found out a long time ago that Ding Chuchu was crying.
She doesn't care...
She didn't expect that Sun Jing had lost such a big face last time, and she still didn't learn to be good. After raising her voice, Sun Jing found that she had attracted a lot of attention, and she became even more proud.
She stepped over two stools and walked into the aisle between Group 1 and Group 2, and asked Ruan Yue with righteous indignation: "Look what I'm doing, did I say something wrong? It's too much for your family to bully Chuchu like this."
"That's right, Chuchu is crying so sadly."
"Chuchu is left alone in Ningcheng, what should I do now?"
Seeing that Ruan Yue didn't say a word, Ding Chuchu's little sisters also immediately accused her.
On the contrary, Ding Chuchu raised his hand to stop one of them, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, you go to study, don't affect everyone's early reading."
"Oh~"
After a group, Ruan Yue sneered, "You were the one who cried when you entered the classroom, and now you are the one who persuades others. It's really interesting."
"I-"
Ding Chuchu looked at her and bit her lower lip tightly.
Sun Jing turned her head to look at her, and immediately yelled angrily, "Don't be so eccentric!"
"You are also very interesting."
Ruan Yue sat on the seat, leaned back slightly, looked at her, and said in a calm tone, "When someone cries, you feel distressed, and when she is wronged, you help her out. Since you can't see her suffering, then help her solve the problem. Can't you just take her mother to live with you?"
"puff-"
The two boys in the back row of a group were amused by these words, and after eating melons for a long time, they understood the whole story, and couldn't help but start booing, "Yes, yes, Sun Jing, you are a holy mother. If you are so leisurely, put Ding Chuchu and her mother will pick you up together, so there's no need to bother others."
"Cry, cry, cry, cry all day long."
Just as Cheng Xiao came in from the outside, seeing Sun Jing blocked her way, she pushed her away angrily, and said sarcastically, "I really thought I was made of water, why pretend to be Lin Daiyu!"
"What are you doing!"
At the door of the classroom, a loud shout startled her.
Sun Jing, who was standing in the aisle, was also taken aback. She looked up and saw the middle-aged man standing by the door, and she immediately froze, "No, I didn't do anything..."
The dean's gaze was attracted by Ding Chuchu, and seeing her hastily raised her hand to wipe her tears, and seeing several people around her, her face darkened, and she pointed her fingers angrily, "You, you, you, and you, Come out to me!"
The girls who were standing without reading were called to the corridor together.
The dean frowned and looked at Ding Chuchu, "I didn't study hard early in the morning, why are you crying in the classroom? You are teary, do you think you are Lin Daiyu?!"
"puff-"
Cheng Xiao, who was implicated innocently, couldn't help but get sprayed.
The dean looked at her again with a pair of black eyes, his eyebrows twisted into caterpillars, "What are you laughing at? Is it funny when I speak?"
"no."
Facing this famous black-faced Yan Luo, Cheng Xiao was also apprehensive, quickly shook his head, pursed his lips, looked down at his toes, and dared not speak.
The dean looked at Sun Jing again, "What are you doing standing in the aisle? Have you memorized all the six knowledge points in Chinese, foreign affairs, history and geography? You have the worst discipline in your class all the way here. Call me your parents. I still don't believe it, you can't cure your stinky problems!"
"director!"
"Director, we were wrong."
When they heard that they were called parents, the girls panicked. Someone glanced at Ruan Yue in the classroom and said in a panic, "We were studying, but we went to comfort her because Chuchu was crying. It wasn't intentional." Not reading will affect discipline."
What was in the words was out of the way, and Ding Chuchu was directly blamed.
The dean was so annoyed that the topic went back, he asked Ding Chuchu: "What happened, why are you crying so early in the morning?"
"It's because of Ruan Yue, her father drove Chu Chu's mother back to her hometown."
Some girls said in a hurry.
The dean was at a loss when he heard it, so he patiently asked a few more questions before he finally figured out the whole thing.
The corners of his lips twitched, his eyes glanced at several girls complicatedly, without saying a word, he walked two steps to the window, and asked, "Who is Ruan Yue?"
Ruan Yue raised her hand, "I am."
"Come on, come out."
"Haha, call her out too."
Sun Jing pursed her lips and said something gloating.
But I never thought that when the dean called him out, not only did he not blame him at all, but his tone was very gentle, "Are you wronged?"
A plain sentence almost brought Ruan Yue to tears.
She lightly clenched a hand hanging by her side, but did not answer.
The teaching director exhaled and looked at Ding Chuchu: "The father is not your father, and he has no responsibility to raise you, let alone take care of your mother! You are a high school student, and you can't live a boarding life? Or is it that you are only three years old this year? Weaning, can’t leave mother? What’s wrong with taking back the house and letting your mother go back to her hometown? Besides, your mother is an adult and has no brains. If she doesn’t want to, then others can tie her up and send her back? Just study hard in school, show your ambition, and you can cry if you have the ability to be the first in the grade! The conditions are not good, the study and study are not good, and the good intentions of others are taken for granted. The ideology and morals of more than ten years are like dogs. gone!"
Ding Chuchu was stunned by some righteous words.
She had stopped crying at first, but now she was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying, but she didn't dare to say anything, her back was pressed against the wall, her shoulders twitched.
There are many students in the corridor outside the classroom, but it is dead silent.
The man scolded, but still felt uncomfortable, and then raised his eyes to look at Sun Jing, the majestic gaze made her dare not raise her head.
"There are still a few of you who make trouble regardless of right and wrong. Why, your parents sent you to school just to make you spend all day doing nothing and form cliques? Let her cry when she cries. If you cry enough, what's there to coax! Cannibalism She lives in someone else's family, and she still has a sense of superiority? She is kind enough to help her, and if she doesn't help, she can't blame her. Don't fan the flames every day, be careful that one day the flame will burn yourself!"
"..."
There continued to be a dead silence all around.
A few boys covered their faces with books, and covered their mouths with their hands, for fear that if they let go, they couldn't help laughing to death on the corridor.
The dean scolded and scolded, scolded and scolded, and looked at a few girls, but nothing was pleasing to the eye. He has a short temper and hates women crying. When he sees Ding Chuchu, he feels physically sick and frowns. Turning his gaze away, he said angrily: "Don't go to the morning reading, take the broom, and give me a good sweep around the flag-raising platform. And..."
He stared at Ding Chuchu and said, "Everyone will write an 800-word self-criticism for me today, starting with you, and reading it at the class meeting at night. Then I will come over with two teachers from the Political and Education Office to listen. If you have to deal with an errand, give it to me tomorrow." Read it on the school radio station."
"I know... I know."
Ding Chuchu stumbled and said.
Cheng Xiao, who was on the far side, raised her hand weakly, "Teacher, I didn't comfort her. I just came back from the bathroom and didn't have time to sit down."
The director of politics and education waved his hand angrily, "You are exempt."
Turning her head to look at Ruan Yue again, she said earnestly, "There is nothing wrong with helping others. Don't doubt the fact of kindness just because of one or two people who don't know what to do."
"knew."
The light in Ruan Yue's eyes surged, "Thank you."
"Go in and study hard."
The usually majestic middle-aged man showed a rare comforting smile and walked away.
He took out his mobile phone while walking, and when he walked a few meters away, he heard a loud voice, "Dong Guofeng, come to my office!"
A farce, and it's over.
Because there was so much commotion, there were quite a few people who were lucky enough to witness the scene. They spread the word, and within half a day, almost all the students on the entire floor knew about it.
Ding Chuchu and her little sisters became celebrities of the second grade, and couldn't help but go to the bathroom during class. Ding Chuchu heard a boy laughing and calling her, "Hey, Ding Sansui."
The dean's remark about her not being weaned was almost ruined by the students.
She was so humiliated in her heart, but she didn't dare to turn around and argue with anyone. She didn't eat lunch, and didn't go back to the dormitory. A review that satisfies the Dean of Students.
Just as she was thinking hard about how to choose words and make sentences, time passed by every minute and every second. The students in the classroom left and came back. When the class was approaching, someone suddenly asked at the door of the classroom: "Excuse me, is there a person named Ruan Yue in your class?" classmate?"
