Chapter 204: The Forced Father-Son Alliance
Jiang Yunhui locked himself in the study room as soon as he entered the room. Uncle Huo went in to ask about dinner once, and Jiang Ranran went in to ask Xiang Nuan once, but they didn't get an answer. He just sat on the sofa, motionless as if he was frozen in time.
Jiang Ranran tried to wake up his absent-minded father, but was stopped by Uncle Huo. Perhaps letting him be alone and quiet would be a good idea.
But he just sat there, not moving at all until dawn.
"Have you thought it through?" Uncle Huo walked in with breakfast and coffee.
He put the dinner plate on the table, and without asking Jiang Yunhui's opinion, he opened the curtains one by one, and then opened the window to let the fresh morning breeze blow into the room.
The sudden light made Jiang Yunhui cover his eyes subconsciously, and it was like waking up from a dream that had lasted for a thousand years.
"Where's Ranran?"
"I'm having breakfast."
"Bring him here, and you too."
Uncle Huo was slightly stunned, moved his lips, and turned to look for Ranran.
Jiang Yunhui slowly stretched his muscles and found that after sitting stiffly all night, his body was like an old machine that had been out of repair for a long time, and it creaked at the slightest movement.
"Are you going to look for her?"
Jiang Ranran ran in, the light in her eyes brighter than the sun.
Jiang Yunhui looked at his son and couldn't help but hug him with heartache.
"Son, if you have to leave here and live a hard life starting tomorrow, are you willing?"
This... maybe he has damaged his brain after sitting all night? Jiang Ranran tilted his head back and looked at his father as if he was a patient with a sudden mental illness.
"Master, are we in trouble? Is it related to your retirement?" Jiang Yunhui was unsure whether he was nervous or not, but Uncle Huo's nerves were definitely tense.
"Yes, I have decided to quit the entertainment industry completely, but I will need to pay a lot of money. I calculated that I can sell this house, so that I can put an end to it all at once."
Did he hear it right? Did Dad say it wrong? Jiang Ranran suddenly heard the Book of Heaven, all this gibberish, meaningless.
"Sell the house? Then where will we live? Buy a new house? Move away? Where? Does she know? What if she...what if she can't find us when she comes back?"
Jiang Ranran's mouth was out of control, and his head was filled with question marks that were bigger and bigger than before. Especially when he thought that he might never see Xiang Nuan again, he was so scared that he started to talk nonsense.
"I won't leave, I won't sell, I won't move!" He struggled hard and broke free from his father's arms. Jiang Yunhui almost threw him to the ground.
"Calm down and listen to what daddy has to say, okay? You've grown up and become a man now. Daddy can trust you, right?"
Jiang Ranran didn't want to listen to this, her four-year-old instinct took over.
"Go find her! Go find her!" He just kept crying.
"Ran Ran!" Jiang Yunhui hugged him tightly, trying to calm him down: "Aunt Xiang Nuan will leave us eventually, and leaving now is the best choice. If she stays with us, she will suffer a lot and be wronged..."
"She didn't choose it, no!"
Jiang Ranran simply couldn't listen. Originally, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that she would come back after she calmed down, but now her father clearly said that she would never come back, how could this be possible? !
He suddenly pushed Jiang Yunhui away and ran out.
"Ran Ran!" Uncle Huo hurried to chase him. But Ran Ran ran so fast that he was almost at the gate before he was stopped.
"Ran Ran, your dad is going through something very difficult." Uncle Huo was out of breath, but his pounding heart was not only due to the intense exercise, but also because of his worry for Jiang Yunhui. "Dad needs your help, and our help. Let's get through this difficult time together, and then go pick up Aunt Xiang Nuan."
"Will she never come back?" Jiang Ranran threw herself into Uncle Huo's arms and burst into tears.
"No, don't worry, I won't."
Uncle Huo said this to himself rather than to Ran Ran. He believed that Xiang Nuan's feelings for Jiang Yunhui and this family were more than just a contractual relationship.
She will definitely come back!
Jiang Yunhui felt heartbroken watching this scene, but he had decided that no matter if he had to pay compensation or sell the house and land, he would never use a woman as a shield, especially when that woman was Xiang Nuan.
"As long as she comes." Jiang Chao's sinister and cold face was like a nightmare. He would not allow him to disturb her.
"Selling a house is a small matter, but once the news gets out..."
"The new owner forced the old employees to leave, so the pressure won't be on the employees."
"And then?"
"To France."
Uncle Huo was slightly startled. It seemed that he had really thought it through. "Then Madam... Madam..." Uncle Huo choked up when he said this.
"She has nothing to do with us. She cannot and should not be dragged into this."
"I'm a little confused. You decided to retire because you wanted to live with your wife and Ranran. Now that your wife is gone, our lives will go back to the way they were. Is there still a need to retire?"
Jiang Yunhui took a deep breath and suddenly lowered his head dejectedly.
"He came here for Xiang Nuan. I'm not his target, Xiang Nuan is."
"What?"
"He wants Xiang Nuan to plan a car show for him. The one she rejected in the beginning."
"You mean he treats his wife..."
Uncle Huo paused, frightened by the words that had not yet been spoken.
"I'll contact someone right away and get an estimate for the house first. Don't worry, if you don't have enough money, I have more. I've been following the young master for these years, and I've saved up a bit."
Jiang Yunhui suddenly looked up, tears flashing in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say them.
"I'll go find a lawyer and we'll split up."
He patted Uncle Huo's shoulder and looked at his son curled up in the corner, full of guilt. He sat down next to Jiang Ranran and said softly, "When all this is over, we will go find Aunt Xiang Nuan."
"real?!"
"Really. If she still wants to stay with us, of course."
"You swear not to lie!"
Jiang Yunhui smiled bitterly, but still raised his finger and swore solemnly. At this moment, he hoped that his oath would come true more than anyone else.
…
"You, a big star, usually eat these?"
Xiang Nuan stared at the pot of instant noodles in front of her, which was said to be the movie queen's private dish, and her eyes were so wide that they seemed to fall into the pot.
"Tell me, what high-end food does your Yunhui cook for you every day at home?" Liu Yunshan curled her lips in disdain. She had seen many people eating for free, but she had never seen anyone who was picky. She pushed the bowl and chopsticks to her in annoyance, not forgetting to roll her eyes.
Xiang Nuan chuckled twice shamelessly. She bet that Liu Yunshan's house had become so thick-skinned that they had no idea how to stay there.
"Why is there only one set of bowls and chopsticks? Aren't you going to eat?"
"Sister, why aren't you a celebrity's family member? You're saying such nonsense. I usually control my diet very strictly, okay?"
Tsk—Xiang Nuan rolled her eyes even more thoroughly than she had just done. Control? Control that you still have instant noodles at home?! This kind of "evil" should not exist at all, right?
She stuck her chopsticks into the noodle pot, scooped out a big bowl, then considerately filled it with soup and pushed it in front of Liu Yunshan.
"Stop pretending, it's just the two of us. Eat it while it's hot."
Liu Yunshan was about to explode when she saw Xiang Nuan pulling the noodle pot towards her. So he served her a bowl and left one pot for himself!
Oh my god, could it be that the Xiang Nuan I knew before was a fake one? !
