Chapter 28 Goodbye, Little Brother Liu Ruyan! What's wrong with that name? ...
Before leaving, the doctor asked Wen Han to leave her contact information. Wen Han thought of Wen Qingke and felt that giving him her number would cause a lot of trouble. Jing Yu smiled and said, "He's not available, use mine."
It rained when they came out, and after what had just happened, Jingzhao wasn't in the mood to play anymore. He kept insisting on taking Wanwan home to play.
"Do you want to go and persuade him yourself?" Jing Yu said calmly. "That child is very wary."
"It's a rare holiday, if we don't take advantage of it now, we'll have to wait another two weeks," Wen Han asked. "Are you coming with me?"
He felt a little embarrassed to go there alone all of a sudden.
"Of course I'll go with you," Jingyu said with a smile. "I wouldn't feel comfortable letting you go alone."
Wanwan and Jingzhao returned to the Jing family, while Wenhan and Jingyu went to find the child.
"That child's name is Liu Chuanze." Inside the car, Wen Han was listening to the pattering raindrops against the window when Jing Yu handed her a document.
Wen Han read aloud, "Liu Chuanze... Gu Chuanze, his mother chose a pretty nice name, it would suit any surname."
Wen Han appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was overjoyed. "Chuanze Chuanze," not some "A-San" or "A-Si," that's definitely not an ordinary name. It sounds like a male lead! He'll definitely give Gu Cheng a big headache, it's just a pity he's a bit too young, only just started junior high.
"Has he differentiated yet?" Wen Han differentiated in the first year of junior high school, so Xiaohai Ge should be close to it as well.
“Not yet.” Jing Yu paused for a moment before saying, “His mother is not an Omega, so the chances of him differentiating into an Alpha are probably not very high.”
If it's not Omega, then it must be Beta. The chances of a child born from an AB combination differentiating into an Alpha or Omega are already small. Jing Yu's explanation was quite mild; in reality, it's lucky if one in a hundred is born. Wen Han can only hope that Gu Zong isn't the type to favor Alphas over Betas.
"His mother is an employee of the Gu Group?" Wen Han frowned, recalling what the kid had said on the subway about how his mother was always being deceived by bad Alphas. "She even left the Gu Group to give birth to and raise the child alone. Gu Zong must not be a good person."
“His mother’s name is Liu Ruyan.” Wen Han thought the name was nice and praised it, “It’s poetic.”
"What?" the system asked in surprise, "What's his mother's name?"
"Liu Ruyan, what's wrong with that name?"
The system awkwardly replied, "It's nothing." Damn it.

"Wen Han, we've arrived." Seeing that he was engrossed in what he was looking at, Jing Yu said softly, "No vehicles other than those belonging to residents are allowed in this community."
"Oh, oh." That's normal. Upon first meeting the kid, he was able to pull out a huge sum of money—tens of yuan—that Wen Han could only dream of, demonstrating his considerable wealth. Moreover, according to the system description, he was wearing designer clothes.
Jing Yu got out of the car first, opened an umbrella, and then let Wen Han out. The rain was getting heavier, and Wen Han asked, "Is there only one umbrella in the car?"
"Yes." Jing Yu smiled. "So Uncle Wang was waiting for us in the car."
Uncle Wang was about to say that there were still umbrellas in the car when he heard this, he quietly put his hand down.
"This neighborhood looks familiar."
The two shared an umbrella, walking side by side. The faint floral scent emanating from Jing Yu mingled with the smell of rain, actually making them smell even better.
Wen Han remembered that Gu Chuanze was at the station under Donghua Gate, but she hadn't asked for his address, so it would be too strange to suddenly go there.
He hesitated and said, "Jingyu, wouldn't it be suspicious if we went there like this?"
“Gu Chuanze is still in junior high school, he doesn’t have a choice, but his mother does,” Jing Yu comforted him. “Ms. Liu… she should agree.”
When they reached Liu Ruyan's house, Wen Han suddenly stopped and didn't move. Jing Yu noticed that something was wrong with him: "Wen Han, what's wrong?"
Wen Han stared blankly at the house in front of her.
Liu Ruyan lives in a detached villa, three stories high, with a small garden, nearly 400 square meters. Seven or eight years ago it cost eight million, now it costs at least thirteen million.
Seeing his pale face, Jingyu asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Hey." A woman in a burgundy dress suddenly opened the door, her face wary. "What are you two doing standing here at my door like this?!"
Wen Han grabbed Jing Yu's sleeve without saying a word, while Liu Ruyan frowned: "If you don't leave, I'm going to report you—sigh?"
"You look familiar," Liu Ruyan thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Isn't your father named Wen Qingke?"
Wen Han pursed his lips and remained silent. The gate of the residential complex had probably been renovated in the last two years, and he didn't recognize it at first. Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Oh my, you've grown so tall, I hardly recognized you. Are you back to look at houses? It's raining outside, come in quickly."
"Mom, it's not those people again, is it?" Just as Jing Yu and Wen Han entered the house, a still somewhat childish voice came from the stairs: "Didn't I tell you not to let them in?"
The moment Liu Chuanze saw Wen Han, the look of disgust on his face hadn't even faded yet.
Or perhaps he simply didn't want to give them a friendly look.
"It's you?" The look of disgust vanished, and Yanagi Chuanze's expression became complicated. "How did you know I lived here?"
Liu Ruyan quickly pushed him aside and said with a smile, "I'll get you towels, please make yourselves at home!"
While pulling on Liu Chuanze's arm, she whispered, "Didn't I tell you before, when we bought this house..."
Wen Han stood helplessly in the house, both strange and familiar. He had always dreamed of returning here, but never of doing so in this way.
When Liu Chuanze reappeared before him, his guarded expression had vanished, replaced by a hint of shyness: "Here you go."
He was holding a brand new white towel. Wen Han took it. Liu Ruyan had just gone to the refrigerator to get some juice and came back to find her son had handed the towel to Wen Han. She was both amused and exasperated: "You silly boy, you've gone silly from studying! The towel is for someone else. Can't you see who's wet?"
Wen Han then noticed that half of Jing Yu's clothes were wet, something he hadn't noticed before.
The towel in his hand immediately became a hot potato. Wen Han was already nervous, so he subconsciously took the towel to wipe Jing Yu's hands. He realized halfway through that was a bit too ambiguous and stuffed the towel back into Jing Yu's hands.
Liu Ruyan had already started drinking her beverage, smiling as she asked, "Is this your boyfriend?"
Wen Han's ears immediately turned red: "No, no, he's my classmate."
Seeing that Jing Yu wasn't in a hurry to wipe himself, but instead smiled at Wen Han, Liu Chuanze frowned deeply at that look.
"Mom, you've been watching too many movies lately."
“It’s not my fault.” Liu Ruyan gestured for them to sit down. “He said he would buy the house back when he grew up. That’s why I thought he was bringing his girlfriend home to see the house.”
Jing Yu suddenly understood why Wen Han's expression was so unpleasant when she saw Liu Ruyan's residence.
Liu Ruyan had a deep impression: "You were only in third grade back then, you were so small."
Seeing Wen Han holding his drink with his head down and not saying anything, Liu Ruyan thought he was shy because he was thinking about what happened back then, so she smiled and waved her hand: "Everyone is like that. You will definitely feel reluctant to leave the house you have lived in since you were a child. But you won't feel that way when you live in a nicer house."
"I remember you were clinging to the house pillar and wouldn't let go, you were crying the whole time, and your dad kept comforting you that the new house would be bigger and prettier." Liu Ruyan chuckled twice as she recalled that funny scene. "To be honest, I'm really embarrassed to say that your family sold the house to me, and the house prices skyrocketed the following year. But luckily, your family bought a new house, so they probably still made a profit, right?"
Where do you live now?
Wen Han's eyes were already brimming with tears, and he sat close to Jing Yu so that Liu Ruyan wouldn't notice. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would give himself away.
Jing Yu said gently, "His home is on Yunjiang Road."
"Oh! That place is nice too."
Wen Han wiped away her tears without making a sound, and Liu Chuanze suddenly said, "Mom, let me take him to my room to play."
"Okay, you must stay here for dinner." Liu Ruyan said with a smile, "The children's room is decorated in a very cozy style, so I didn't have the decorator redo it. It's still the same as before."
——
Liu Chuanze walked ahead silently. He had recently gone to the hospital for a physical examination, and the doctor said that his differentiation period was approaching, so he specifically asked the school for a week's leave.
In his room, the wall next to the door was covered with horizontal lines, with the year and his height marked next to them.
Wen Han saw that his height record line was still on the wall, and she was overwhelmed with emotions. The last line stopped when he was in the third grade.
Liu Chuanze said, "It seems I was taller than you when I was in third grade."
Next to Wen Han's height record line, there are several other record lines with updated markings. They inherited his height over the years, and their growth rate is indeed faster than his.
“I think this is quite interesting,” said Yanagawa Ze. “Seeing this is like seeing a person’s growth process. I’ve always wondered when I would be higher than this line, and I finally waited for it this year on my birthday.”
Wen Han forced a smile and said, "Then congratulations."
Liu Chuanze thought Wen Han looked a little sad because she simply missed him, so he quickly opened the bedside table and took out a small iron box.
Inside were two 50-cent coins. Wen Han couldn't help but smile as she recalled the funny incident that happened to them on the subway.
"I was worried about what would happen if you didn't have enough money." As soon as Liu Chuanze finished speaking, Jing Yu said softly, "Wen Han, why didn't you ask me to pick you up?"
“I don’t have your contact information,” Wen Han said. “Luckily, I still remember which station I got off at.”
Liu Chuanze was taken aback: "You were going to his house back then?"
"Hmm." Wen Han remembered the important matter. "By the way, when I first saw you, you looked vaguely familiar. I might know who your father is—"
Liu Chuanze's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he rushed out of the room.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Wen Han, confused, pulled Jing Yu to find him.
Liu Chuanze ran outside, and Wen Han grabbed him, saying, "Calm down first!"
"You...you wouldn't be—" Liu Chuanze was completely soaked, and Wen Han wasn't much better off.
Mom bought the house at a low price, and Wen Han knows he lives here. Could it be that Wen Han's father... or is Wen Han his brother?
A note from the author:
----------------------
I originally wanted to write "Nyan Huamen", but that would be too outrageous, right? [Lower-eared rabbit head] will be changed to "Dong Huamen".
Poor Wen Han used to have millions in assets... Now that her father is such a burden, it's a miracle he hasn't become a second-generation debtor.
