Chapter 195
The reason why this house was decorated so carefully was to give Juan a big surprise.
Therefore, everything was done by him personally, and every detail and every decorative element was selected and arranged according to Joan's personal preferences.
However, although he had tried his best, he was not completely sure whether Ruoan would like this style and design.
At this moment, Xia Ruo'an cast her eyes on the man who had silently given to her, and said softly, "It's already very good. I plan to move here directly after graduation."
"I had already discussed this matter with my mother, and I was about seven or eight months pregnant at that time."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi nodded gently, indicating that he had no objection. "No matter what, as long as it is your decision, I support it. No matter where we are, I will take good care of you and the baby wholeheartedly."
Then, Leng Zexi looked at Ruo'an with a smile and joked, "To be honest, I thought you might prefer to go back to your hometown to wait for the birth, and come back when it's closer to the due date. After all, this place is relatively unfamiliar to you."
Xia Ruoan shook her head gently and explained, "My parents don't know when they can go back home. Besides, next month is the wedding day of Senior Brother Ouyang and Sister Ling'er, and my parents will be busy helping to prepare for the wedding."
At this point, she paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, Dad has already asked my third brother to find someone to continue investigating the details of what happened to grandma that year."
"Before, Dad didn't know how to face the past, so he kept delaying it until now. But now, he has finally made up his mind to find out the truth and make it over."
After saying this, Xia Ruoan turned his gaze to Leng Zexi beside him again.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Leng Zexi was stunned when he suddenly heard these words.
After a while, he recovered and looked at Xia Ruo'an who looked anxious in front of him. He said softly, "In fact, you can ask your third brother to go to your grandfather to inquire about the situation. As far as I know, your grandfather should have relevant evidence in his hands."
"After all, this matter is of great importance, and your grandfather may know more unknown inside stories."
Leng Zexi paused, then added: "Moreover, it is certain that your grandmother's accident is inextricably linked to Xia Jiye and his mother. There is no doubt about this."
After saying this, he looked at Xia Ruoan firmly, hoping that she could understand the interests involved.
Xia Ruoan listened to Leng Zexi's words with an expression of disbelief on her face.
She widened her eyes and looked straight at Leng Zexi, as if she wanted to find a hint of joking in his eyes, but in the end she only saw seriousness and earnestness.
"You said grandpa has evidence? He has known for a long time that grandma's accident was caused by that mother and son?" Xia Ruoan asked with a trembling voice. This news was so shocking to her that she found it difficult to fully accept it for a while.
"How could this happen? Grandpa has always loved grandma deeply! After grandma passed away, not only did grandpa not choose to marry someone else, he even didn't bring the mother and son back home to live."
Xia Ruoan muttered to himself as he recalled the old photos he had seen at his grandfather's house.
The grandparents in the photo always have smiles on their faces and appear to be extremely loving and harmonious. They look like a model couple who support each other and grow old together.
But now, the information revealed by Leng Zexi completely shattered Xia Ruoan's fantasy about the beautiful love between her grandparents.
She couldn't understand why her grandfather, knowing full well that her grandmother's death was related to the mother and son, was reluctant to take action, and instead allowed them to continue to go unpunished and even allowed them to live such a comfortable and pleasant life.
As he thought about it, Xia Ruoan's eyes gradually became moist, and he couldn't believe it.
She bit her lips tightly, trying not to cry out loud, but she couldn't help but let out a slight sob in her throat: "Grandpa... obviously... loves grandma very much..."
"That's absolutely true. Grandpa's love for grandma is unquestionable, but he has never expressed this feeling out loud. I'm sure there must be some unspeakable reasons for it. It's like he wanted to protect your father." Leng Zexi looked at her tenderly and explained slowly.
"Before, I specially sent someone to investigate Xia Jiye's family's daily expenses and the conditions of their current house. It turned out that all these expenses were not paid by your grandfather."
"Moreover, as far as I know, this money did not come directly from your grandfather himself, but was provided to him by someone else behind the scenes, and then transferred to Xia Jiye's family through him. From this, it can be seen that there must be some mysterious force protecting them in secret." Leng Zexi continued to analyze.
"When I started investigating this matter before, your grandfather noticed it. At that time, he explicitly asked me to stop interfering and told me that the time was not yet ripe."
"But surprisingly, he actually agreed to officially announce your return at Xia Meihui's engagement party. In my opinion, this means that he thinks he no longer has to worry about anything and can face everything calmly."
After hearing this, Xia Ruo'an became more and more worried: "Grandpa has endured too much. I am a little worried about his condition."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel worried. She couldn't imagine that her grandfather, who loved her grandmother so much, had to watch day after day the murderers who killed her grandmother go unpunished, and even pretended to know nothing about it.
One can imagine how much pain he must be enduring in his heart!
Leng Zexi shook his head slightly, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes, "Perhaps, we can ask your eldest brother. After all, he is a doctor, so he must know something more or less."
Xia Ruoan nodded slightly, his thoughts drifting back to the past.
Previously, because her uncle's health had been poor, she did ask her eldest brother to pay more attention to Grandpa Ou's condition.
As for grandpa, he looked energetic and didn't look like someone who was unwell at all.
However, now that he knew the truth, Xia Ruo'an's mood was different. Everything in the world is often deceiving, even the human body.
She secretly reminded herself not to jump to conclusions too quickly.
"I'll call my eldest brother right now and ask him to take some time to visit grandpa." Xia Ruoan's words were filled with unquestionable firmness.
Leng Zexi smiled lightly and waved his hand, "I have my brother's number saved in my phone, just call him." Then, he touched the screen with his fingertips, and a string of familiar numbers jumped out, connecting to Mu Shen who was far away in the Ou family.
Mu Shen was handing a packet of medicine to Ouyang. He turned and walked into a quiet corner and answered the sudden call.
On the other end of the phone, Leng Zexi's voice was filled with a subtle anxiety. After all, as a doctor, every time he was called, he was often accompanied by a certain uneasy premonition. "Leng Zexi, why did you call suddenly? Is An An okay?"
"Brother, it's me, Xia Ruo'an." She interrupted quickly, with a hint of urgency and expectation in her voice, "Brother, where are you now? Are you free?"
Mu Shen's usually tense face softened a little after Xia Ruoan's voice touched him, like a spring breeze.
"Everything is fine at the Ou family. I was just changing Zhou Ling'er's medicine. What's the matter? Is there something urgent over there?"
"Also remember that you are pregnant now. You must not let Leng Zexi do anything rash. You have to take care of your body." Mu Shen's words carried a bit of the care and severity unique to an elder brother, and his words showed his worry.
"If he dares to disregard your safety, it will be useless to complain to me. I will come to your house in person and discipline him." There was unquestionable determination in Mu Shen's words.
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an felt a warm current in her heart. She whispered softly, "Brother, I'm fine, but... can you spare some time to go to the Xia family and check on grandpa's health for me? I'm a little worried."
There was a hint of subtle worry in her voice, but it also revealed her deep trust in Mu Shen.
"What is going on? Have you heard anything? From the outside, he seems to be in good health." Mu Shen asked puzzled.
"Your third brother didn't tell me that he was in poor health." Mu Shen continued, "Is there some hidden secret?"
At this time, Xia Ruo'an said worriedly: "Although Third Brother didn't say it, I'm always worried."
"Brother Leng told me that grandpa may have known the real reason why grandma passed away, and he may have evidence that Xia Jiye and his mother harmed grandma."
When he said this, Xia Ruoan's eyes turned slightly red and his voice trembled unconsciously.
She pleaded earnestly, "Brother, if you are free, can you help me visit grandpa?"
Mu Shen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I happen to be free, I'll go over and take a look later."
After all, if things were as serious as Xia Ruoan said, then the pressure and pain that Mr. Xia must have endured must be extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Mu Shen couldn't help but feel pity for the old man.
Mu Shen raised his hand to look at his watch, estimated the time, and felt that he should have enough time to visit and come back for dinner.
So he carefully gave Xia Ruoan a few more instructions and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Just then, Xia Lin and his wife came back after buying groceries.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Mu Shen preparing to go out. Xia Lin quickly asked, "Dinner is almost ready, why are you running out now? Are you going to come back for dinner later?"
"Come back, I just want to go to Xia's house." Mu Shen looked at the food he bought and said, "Mom, I want to eat garlic shrimp."
Zhong Yanyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll make you some garlic shrimp. Come back early."
