After returning home, Ruan Yue reported to Lu Chen that she was safe, and then received Cheng Xiao's WeChat.
The two discussed on WeChat for a while, and Cheng Xiao decided to move to City A on October 3rd. In the evening, Ruan Yue notified Zhao Bingzhi of the news.
The next morning, Zhao Bingzhi took her to a nearby furniture store to buy a single bed, a wardrobe and a set of desks and chairs.
Before Cheng Xiao came on the 3rd, the master worker had just delivered the furniture and installed it. Although it was new, it had no taste because it was in stock and the quality was guaranteed.
On the contrary, Cheng Xiao, after entering the door, found that no one had used the whole set of furniture. She was very sorry, and said to Ruan Yue while making the bed: "It's really troublesome for you."
"No trouble."
Ruan Yue came in with a flower stand and a pot of green radishes and placed them beside her table, and said with a smile, "Anyway, I will buy furniture sooner or later. You come to live, and you will have a company with me."
Cheng Xiao smiled wryly, "I'm in my third year, and I don't know if I can pass the exam."
In fact, Ruan Yue found out as early as after she entered the door.
After several years, Cheng Xiao is not the same as the optimistic and smiling girl in her memory. Her hair was long and tied into a low ponytail at the back of her head, making her look much quieter. There is a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, which adds a bit of bookishness to the whole person.
After thinking about it, Ruan Yue tentatively asked, "Did your family let you take the test?"
"My parents didn't let me take the exam."
Cheng Xiao made the bed, straightened up and said, "When I was in senior year, my roommate took the exam, and I followed suit. I didn't pass the exam, and I worked for a while. Our school's journalism major is mediocre, and I don't have one at home. The contacts in this area are not ideal for work. I didn’t want to do it anymore, and continued to take the exam for the second year. In the third year of this year, my parents have already had a lot of opinions, and they force me to go on blind dates all day long.”
Ruan Yue was taken aback, "You are not very old."
Cheng Xiao said helplessly, "Twenty-five is not too young. Besides, there is an older brother in front of me who is not married. My parents want to buy him a house in City A, so they want to marry me and ask for some gift money. "
Ruan Yue: "..."
She was an only child, so she hadn't thought about such a thing at all.
Seeing Cheng Xiao's depressed face, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, okay, I don't want to think about it so much. Do you want to buy something? There is a supermarket near your home, let's take a look around?"
"Well, buy a toothbrush and toothpaste or something."
Cheng Xiao organized the things he brought, and made a list of things to buy. Half an hour later, the two of them went out to the supermarket together.
Zhao Bingzhi bought the big items at home, and her aunt would buy them for daily necessities, so Ruan Yue didn’t really need anything. Cheng Xiao was shopping for toiletries in the daily chemical section. She pushed a small cart, looked left and right for a while, and then took out her phone look.
The WeChat page has a friend request.
She clicked on it and found that it was Sun Jing who added her through Class 19's wechat group.
When she was in school, she and Ding Chuchu were the best. Ruan Yue could almost describe her as disgusting. She didn't want to pass, but she was curious about what she was going to do, so she added her.
Within two minutes, Sun Jing sent a message: [Are you Ruan Yue?]
Ruan Yue: [Yes.]
Sun Jing was prepared for her indifference, so she didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and said directly: [There is one thing that I have thought about for a long time, and I feel that I should tell you.]
Ruan Yue: [What?]
[Ding Chuchu seduced your dad, and she was with him for more than two years when she was in college, and it was only after she fell in love that the two broke up. But last year when she got married, your dad gave her a Mercedes-Benz. Are you clear about these things?]
Looking at the dialog box, Ruan Yue was in a daze for a long time but didn't react.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Sun Jing became a little anxious.
As Ding Chuchu's best friend, she has always been clear about her affairs.
It's just that Ding Chuchu didn't say it explicitly, so she never made it clear in front of her that she knew it. Under normal circumstances, she just complained to Wang Juanna and Chu Xing.
In the past two years, I have developed steadily with my boyfriend, and I mentioned it to him several times.
How could he have thought that there would be problems in his business, and he would use this to blackmail Ding Chuchu
Ding Chuchu was in Greece, and they all agreed to come back to meet him, but this naive, thought that it was an excuse, and called several times a day to urge him, and he was so angry that he threatened to report him and warn him. The phone call came to her, and she was scolded bloody.
Sun Jing didn't have any proof of what happened in the past. After being scolded, she was furious. After much deliberation, she simply told Ruan Yue about it.
She can't take care of that kind of white lotus, but can Ruan Yue's mother also can't take care of it
She was walking back and forth in the room with her mobile phone in her hand. The man sitting on the sofa felt annoyed and snorted coldly, "You are afraid of her, you have the ability to ask her to call the police..."
Having said that, he paused suddenly, and asked Sun Jing: "But is what you said true or not? Your classmate's father, isn't he old enough to be her father?"
"It must be true."
Sun Jing vowed, "Otherwise, who is so kind to you for no reason? You don't know that when she was studying, she had tens of thousands of clothes and bags, and there were no bargains. Which sponsor is so kind to people?" , give name tags to everything?"
"There is still a car."
Sun Jing snorted coldly, "When she was in her junior year, she seemed to be pregnant by accident, and I overheard her calling to say that she was going to have an operation. I think it must be because of this that they gave her a car worth nearly a million dollars." , or she is like that, and she will get tired of playing for two days."
"Then you are afraid of a ghost?!"
Her boyfriend laughed, "Don't worry about this matter. I'll call her, and if she gets too aggressive, I'll report this to her husband. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and her husband is not very rich." After inquiring about the investigation, can she be spared?"
Sun Jing hesitated, "That's all before marriage."
"Have you forgotten what he said at the wedding? He almost told the world that he found a pure virgin."
Sun Jing bit her lip and looked at him for a long time, she couldn't help laughing.
In fact, she had no enmity with Ruan Yue back then, but she couldn't understand her beauty and family background, so she always got close to Ding Chuchu.
But several years have passed, Ruan Yue remained silent, but Ding Chuchu, just because he was able to pretend to be pitiful and weak, took advantage of the old man's pity and cherished jade, and went all the way with famous brands. Phoenix has completed the class leap.
A slut who thinks he is awesome!
After making up her mind to deal with her, Sun Jing didn't wait for Ruan Yue's reply, put down her phone, and chatted with her boyfriend.
…
Because of Sun Jing's words, Ruan Yue was absent-minded for several days.
At first, she couldn't figure out why her father, who was talented and successful in his career, fell in love with Ding Meijuan, a widow who had been farming for half her life.
She wore a thick layer of filters to see Ding Meijuan, and reluctantly summed up the advantages of "submissive, pitiful, and understanding".
But if this person is Ding Chuchu, there's nothing he can't figure out.
She looks innocent and young, with a gentle and well-behaved temperament. She only said a few words timidly, and then stared at you with those innocent eyes without blinking. A man would feel pity from the bottom of his heart.
It turned out that her father never loved her as his own daughter, but as a woman.
Does her mother know about these things
Times have changed, and it is impossible for Ruan Yue to disgust Zhao Bingzhi with these things, and she has already drawn a clear line with Ruan Chengyi, she forces herself to forget about these things, and every day at home, she reads and reviews with Cheng Xiao, and gradually enters the exam preparation status.
—
A few days passed by.
On the morning of the 6th, Ruan Yue and Zhao Bingzhi went back to Ningcheng to attend the 80th birthday banquet of the former dean of the No. 1 City Hospital.
When the old man was young, he taught at the University of Medical Sciences, and he was kind to Zhao Bingzhi in his education. As a show of filial piety, I organized this birthday banquet.
After eleven o'clock, the mother and daughter arrived at the place where the birthday banquet was held - Ningcheng Hotel.
The parking space to park in was relatively narrow, so Ruan Yue got out of the car first, and stood on the side of the road with a few gift boxes waiting for Zhao Bingzhi, when she saw Fu Zhixing driving past her.
It seems like I haven't seen it for a long time, and it seems that I saw it not long ago.
Through the windshield, that face flashed past her eyes, and she wasn't even sure if he saw herself on the side of the road.
"Let's go."
After parking the car, Zhao Bingzhi came to her.
Ruan Yue nodded and walked into the hotel with her.
The birthday banquet hadn't started yet, but the banquet hall was already buzzing.
There are many flower baskets sent by guests on both sides of the door, with some auspicious congratulatory messages hanging on them.
On the inner seat, a group of people were talking and laughing around an old man in Tang suit.
"It's been decades, and Mr. Qin still favors him the most."
"That's right, none of us recognized them, but Fu Heng immediately called out his name when he came here."
"For so many years, the demeanor of Fu's great talents in our medical school has not diminished."
Amidst the laughter and compliments, Zhao Bingzhi led Ruan Yue to the old man, bent down and called, "Teacher Qin?"
The old man was talking with a smile, but he stopped when he heard the words, turned his head, looked at her with turbid eyes, and smiled again, "Zhizhi is here."
Zhao Bingzhi was quite fond of him back then. The old man had no daughter under his knees, and loved her to be flamboyant and indulgent. He once wanted to consider her his goddaughter.
Ruan Yue didn't know about all kinds of entanglements in the past, but when she was in middle school, she and Zhao Bingzhi visited the old man several times, and when she saw him talking, she also stepped forward and called out with a smile, "Grandpa Qin."
"I know you know—"
The old man looked at her, his eyes became more confused, and after calling out, he held her hand hesitantly, turned his head and asked Fu Heng who was standing beside him, "Our family Zhizhi came to you again, do you think so?" Think about it, when will you marry her?"
Ruan Yue was held by his hand, and she clearly felt that the surrounding atmosphere froze for a moment.
Someone hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, "Mr. Qin, look at you, you are confused again. This is not Bingzhi, this is his daughter, haha."
"Zhizhi's daughter?"
The old man looked blank, thought for a while, turned his head and asked Fu Heng, "Your girls are already this old? Why didn't you invite my old man to have a wedding wine when you got married?"
"Why didn't you drink it? You forgot after drinking it. If you want to drink, I'll drink with you later after dinner."
Fu Heng held his arm with one hand, and while speaking, let him let go of Ruan Yue's hand without a trace, liberating her from the embarrassment.
Ruan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and stood aside, just in time to see Liang Fei approaching, followed by Fu Zhixing in white clothes and black trousers.
