Xu Ruanruan’s mother asked: “Are you dissatisfied?”
Xu Ruanruan couldn't say bad things about others, he just said: "Mom, have you never seen that aunt's son?"
"Ah... I saw him when he was a child..."
Xu Ruanruan held his forehead, "If you see it yourself once, you will know why there is no follow-up."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Mom, don't worry about me. I'm doing well in Beijing. If I find a suitable partner, I'll take care of it myself." Xu Ruanruan is actually very independent himself and doesn't need others to worry too much.
"You have to take care of yourself over there, mom and dad will be worried."
"Don't worry, I eat well, drink well, feel great, and eat deliciously. I will go home at the end of the year." Xu Ruanruan laughed.
"Uh-huh."

The overall tone of the dark apartment is cooler, gray, white and blue.
It was unexpectedly neat and spotless, which showed that he was very accustomed to living alone.
He took a bottle of iced drink from the refrigerator, opened it and took a sip. Then I walked to the desk. The desk was probably the messiest place in the house, with more files than the company. Regarding Gu's data in recent years, he has kept all kinds of information here.
He came to Gu's just after graduation and stayed with Gu Cheng. Although he is capable, he cannot climb up so fast. Xiang Shen's father and Gu Cheng had some friendship, they could be considered old friends. After Xiang Shen's father passed away, he became an orphan and relied on Gu Cheng's financial support to attend school. Fortunately, Xiang Shen worked hard on his own and passed the college entrance examination with excellent grades.
Xiang Shen's mother passed away earlier, and he could not remember his mother's appearance, not even her outline.
Maybe because he has no father or mother, he can't feel the warmth of family affection between others and relatives.
He has been used to being alone since he was a child.
After Xiang Shen's father passed away, he was adopted by his aunt's family. But their family's financial capacity is really not enough to send their three children to school. His aunt's family already had a pair of twin sons.
Gu Cheng gave Xiang Shen a lot of help. Xiang Shen lived alone on campus and there was no shortage of tuition fees.
For this, Xiang Shen was very grateful to his aunt's family and also very grateful to Gu Cheng.
The aunt's family was willing to accept him as an orphan. Although it could not be said that they took good care of him as if they were their own, they did not treat him badly.
Gu Cheng was not related by blood to him, but he missed the friendship between his old friends and helped him for so long.
Xiang Shen grew up alone and did not take the wrong path or do anything wrong. The credit for growing up today is all due to him alone. To be able to become what he is today, he should thank himself most.
Xiang Shen sat on the chair and put the bottle at hand. After rummaging around, he pulled out one piece of information, and then found another. This is the information from when Yu Zidao and Qiu Zelin joined the company to the present day. Gu Cheng gave most of the company's information to Xiang Shen.
Although Xiang Shen is not a big shot in the company, not many people know him. But he actually has a lot of power.
Because Gu Ziyi had no intention of taking over the Gu family, Gu Cheng had talked to Xiang Shen a long time ago.
Gu Cheng didn't trust other people, and Xiang Shen was trained by Gu Cheng.
Xiang Shen actually didn't have particularly big ambitions, and he didn't have any special desire for the Gu family. He doesn't particularly care about power or money. He's a very happy-go-lucky kind of guy. But Xiang Shen never makes any mistakes in the work assigned to him.
Gu Cheng's hopes were half on Gu Ziyi and half on Xiang Shen.
Although they are not related by blood, Gu Cheng is really nice to him.
This kindness... cannot be repaid.
So when Xiang Shen knew that Gu Ziyi had no intention of taking over the Gu family, and Gu Cheng wanted to hand it over to him... Xiang Shen didn't refuse.
The burden was not light, but there was nothing he could do.
The days went by like this, and no one had any special expectations for him. He also didn't want to disappoint Gu Cheng and Gu Ziyi. He strives to do his best.
Xiang Shen made a very detailed plan for Gu, taking into account the current market conditions. His plans are very detailed and you can tell he has good intentions at a glance.
This is what he will give to Gu Cheng when he comes back.
He hadn't seen Gu Cheng for several months, and he didn't know how Gu Cheng's physical condition was now.
Gu Ziyi kept silent, and it was not convenient for him and Xu Ruanruan to ask more questions. I also know that there are many people in the company talking about things, and there is no telling what trouble might happen if the news is revealed.
But Xiang Shen was thinking about this matter.
To him, Gu Cheng was not a father or an elder, but more like a friend.
Xiang Shen read the information and then put it aside. He picked up the drink bottle again and walked to the living room. Turn on the TV and find a science fiction movie. He leaned on the sofa and watched the movie.
His life alone was really monotonous, with no one to chat with or quarrel with. The kitchen is always empty and the TV only plays occasionally.
He didn't even have a chance to talk to anyone.
Days like this have continued from a long time ago until now, and he is used to feeling alone.
Lowering his eyelashes Xiangshen, he also wanted to try to make some changes, but... how to change such a day
While he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Instead of ringing the doorbell, banging on the door.
Xiang Shen knew who it was immediately.
He got up and walked to the door, opened it, and Xu Ruanruan carried two bottles of beer and a lot of skewers. "I just ordered another skewer and I can't finish it. I'm here to have a drink with you."
"What kind of wine should I drink?" Looking at the redness on Xu Ruanruan's face and the smell of wine as he spoke, he knew that Xu Ruanruan had already drank some.
He opened his body to the deep side and let Xu Ruanruan come in.
Xu Ruanruan came down wearing slippers, and she went straight to the sofa.
"My mother called me and told me that she had never seen that person before."
"That's it?" Xiang Shen closed the door and walked back to the sofa.
Xu Ruanruan had the word "mourning" written all over his face, "It was a good conversation at first, but it got worse later on."
Xiang Shen guessed that there must be something wrong, but because of the blind date, Xu Ruanruan would not be so depressed. "What's wrong?"
"My parents hid it from me. My dad's eyes were uncomfortable a while ago, but he didn't say..." Xu Ruanruan's voice trailed off.
Xiang Shen sat next to her, waiting for her to speak on her own initiative.
After waiting for a while, Xiang Shen didn't hear her speak. He turned around and saw that Xu Ruanruan had shed tears silently.
Xiang Shen suddenly panicked and took out two tissues and gave them to her, "What's wrong?"
"He didn't say anything at first. Recently, his eyesight... had declined and he spoke because of cataracts." Xu Ruanruan took the tissue and sniffed. She had just been dazed upstairs for a while, but her head was empty. She felt a little unable to hold on alone and wanted to find someone to talk to, so she found a reason to go downstairs to find Xiang Shen.
