Chapter 96 The DNA Results Are Out
The Rong family estate covers a large area, with rows of dense trees, numerous paths, and many flowers and fruit trees, as well as several scenic spots.
Back then, the Rong family wasn't this big. Later, because Madam Rong was reluctant to go out for many years, her father worried that she would be too bored. Therefore, he kept expanding the area and creating many scenic spots so that she wouldn't be too bored and could go out and about.
At this moment, Rong Lan was with her in the garden, surrounded by many lush trees that cast a cool shade. When the wind blew, withered leaves fell from the branches and drifted down in front of the woman, making her smile look much more melancholy.
"Mom..." Rong Lan called softly, afraid that his voice would startle her as she was lost in thought. After all, he knew that she was thinking about things from many years ago and memories of his brother.
But what can be done? A person is gone, that's it. More than ten years have passed. If people can really be reincarnated, he'll probably be almost graduating from elementary school in his next life.
Only the longing for him remains in this world.
Rong's mother, whose surname was Liu and given name was Liu Yue, was lost in thought about her son when Rong Lan's words brought her back to her senses. She forced a smile and asked him, "Do you think it will really be like a dream?"
Rong Lan pursed her lips, remaining silent, and simply stared intently into his eyes.
Isn't it said that dreams are the opposite of reality? So how could that be?
Having such dreams is perhaps just a way to express one's hopes and dreams.
Rong Lan understood all of this, but she didn't want to say it outright for fear of hurting her feelings and causing her further distress. So she patted her hand and sighed, "Mom, you're too tired. Why don't you go back and rest?"
"I'm fine," Rong's mother smiled, gently patted his hand, looked at his face, and said with a mix of melancholy and relief, "You must take good care of yourself."
If something like that happens again, and she loses another son, she will definitely break down.
"I know, it's okay, don't worry too much." Rong Lan smiled at her, reached out to massage her shoulders, and said gently, "You shouldn't stay at home all the time. It would be good to go and chat with Aunt Luo and the others."
“Or I can accompany you for walks normally,” Rong Lan said with a smile. “Now that I’m back, I won’t be going anywhere for a while, so I can spend a lot of time with you.”
Although he hasn't finished his studies yet, he's been abroad for a long time and feels lonely. He inevitably misses home and wants to stay here longer to spend time with his family. After all, his mother's health isn't good, and she needs someone to be by her side more often.
"It's good that you have the heart, but it's alright." Rong's mother concealed the sadness on her face, squeezed his hand, and said slowly, "Studies are important. Your father is here with me, so you don't need to worry."
"I know, but I still want to stay here for about a year," Rong Lan said with a smile. "I'll miss home if I'm away for too long, so Mom, you wouldn't be so heartless as to want to send me back abroad, would you?"
His mother couldn't help but laugh at his words. She reached out and poked his head, saying with a smile, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm overjoyed, how could I bear to part with you?"
As a mother, she naturally wanted her child to be by her side so she could see him often and know if he was doing well. Only then could she feel at ease, especially after what happened many years ago. How could she not want him to be under her watchful eye at all times?
However, she also understood that he couldn't stay a child forever; he would grow up eventually, and then he would have his own life and a new family. Parents can't watch over them and accompany them forever.
Rong's mother was lost in thought. She smiled helplessly, looked at Rong Lan beside her, and slowly said with a smile, "Your nineteenth birthday is coming soon, isn't it? Is there any special birthday present you want this year?"
Speaking of Rong Lan's birthday, she couldn't help but think that if Rong Jin were still alive, he would be in his twenties by now.
"Birthday gifts are all about the sentiment; I'll like whatever you give me," Rong Lan said with a smile. "Whatever you give me, it's precious to me."
"You silly child," Rong's mother laughed, and couldn't help but ruffle his hair a few times. "You've gotten so sweet-talking, and you're becoming more and more good at sweet-talking people."
Suddenly, Rong's mother couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, you're almost nineteen. Do you have a girlfriend yet?"
"Well..." Rong Lan chuckled awkwardly, rubbing his high nose bridge. "I don't have that plan yet. My studies are the priority. Other things don't matter. I'm still young, so there's no rush."
He was genuinely a little afraid that his mother might suddenly be trying to arrange an engagement or fiancée for him out of kindness; just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"Oh, it's alright. Just go after any girl you like." Rong's mother smiled understandingly. "Just be happy. Life is short, and it's not easy to meet someone you like, but you also need to learn to judge people."
At this point, Rong's mother became worried. She gazed into his eyes and said earnestly, "Don't fall for someone who's fickle and always looking for something better. Absolutely not! We don't want people like that either, after all, there are too many scumbags in this world."
Rong Lan was both amused and exasperated, unsure of what to say. He felt that she was thinking too far ahead. Even if he did meet someone he liked in the future, how could he possibly like the kind of person she was talking about?
Unless you're blind.
"I understand, you don't need to worry." Rong Lan said with a smile, "I promise to find someone who will satisfy you all in the future, someone you won't have to worry about so much, and someone who won't be fickle or promiscuous. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Of course, he was just saying it casually. The future is still too far away, and no one can say for sure what will happen next.
However, when Rong's mother heard him say that, she was happy. A smile played on her lips as she nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "It's good that you think that way. In one's life, it's best to find someone who treats you well and live a peaceful life."
"Your birthday celebration is already in the works, and the invitations will be sent out soon," Rong's mother said with a smile. "If there are any friends you would like to invite, or anyone you would like to see, you can tell us."
"You guys handle it. I'll take care of my friend's side myself, don't worry." Rong Lan smiled. "Are you also inviting people from City A?"
"Yes, after all, we have quite a few cooperative relationships." Mrs. Rong smiled. "At this birthday banquet, you can keep an eye on the other young ladies and socialites; you might just meet someone you like."
Rong Lan smiled without saying a word.
In City A, things remained bustling and noisy.
After his outburst with Xie Li, Yan Yu became much more sober and avoided seeing Xie Li again. Out of sight, out of mind, he didn't want to hurt Xie Li, since Xie Li had once saved his life. However, he couldn't control his disgust for Xie Li.
It's getting stronger and stronger.
Xie Li did not appear in front of him again, but left behind his everyday items and belongings in his home, as if he would come back again.
"Leave? Why would I leave?" Xie Li looked at Xu Cheng with amusement. He hadn't seen this person for a while, but now that he had fallen out with Yan Yu, there was no harm in seeing him again. Maybe he could use him.
However, Xie Li did not expect that Xu Cheng, that fool, would actually want him to move all his daily necessities out of Yan Yu's villa and leave. He was not stupid. If he really left, wouldn't that be fulfilling Yan Yu's wish?
What if that idiot Chen Jin comes back someday? Without him, could they finally be happy together?
Don't even think about it!
"Why?" Xu Cheng was somewhat annoyed and said bluntly, "What else do you want now? Why haven't you left yet? Do you still want to maintain a lingering relationship, thinking that one day Yan Yu will change his mind, fall in love with you again, and then you two will get back together?"
Xu Cheng's blunt words struck a nerve with Xie Li, whose face instantly turned cold. She stared at Xu Cheng coldly and sneered, "When did it become your place to interfere in my affairs? Who do you think you are?"
Xu Cheng was taken aback, his face turning ugly, a mixture of annoyance and self-mockery in his expression: "Then why did you call me out here? Are you ever going to stop? Do whatever you want!"
After saying this, Xu Cheng ignored Xie Li's embarrassed expression, turned around coldly, and prepared to leave without looking back.
Seeing this, Xie Li could only grit her teeth, curse inwardly, and quickly call out to him from behind, "Hey, hey, wait a minute, why are you walking so fast?"
Regardless, now that he has fallen out with Yan Yu, he has very few people on his side. He needs to win over those who are willing to run errands for him and be used by him. Xu Cheng likes him, so he can naturally make good use of him.
Xie Li thought that someone like Xu Cheng, who had liked him for so many years, would definitely stand obediently on his side and stick to him like a dog as long as he gave him a little something sweet...
Just like Yan Yu back then.
"Tsk," Xie Li frowned, thinking of the mess between Shen Jin and Yan Yu, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn it."
“I only said that because I was angry,” Xie Li pursed her lips, winked at Xu Cheng, looking somewhat helpless, then gave a self-deprecating laugh, “I was just too deeply hurt by Yan Yu in my last relationship, and now I want a fresh start…”
A new beginning naturally means getting revenge, and those who made him suffer will also suffer.
At the same time, Loya received a call from the hospital saying that the DNA results were in.
