With her vision blocked, she could only rely on the older man next to her to lead the way.
The road was winding and turning left and right. I don’t know how long I had walked before I suddenly stopped.
"Knock, knock, knock, old lady, we have invited someone over."
Please! They call that a please? It's really eye-opening!
She heard the sound of footsteps coming in, and then the door opened.
Ruan Suhe was led straight inside and stepped over the threshold.
After walking for about two more minutes, her vision finally returned.
"Excuse me for asking Comrade Xiao to come over. Haha, it's really a bit abrupt, please don't mind."
Tsk, there was no apology in her words, only disdain.
...
...
"Madam, you and I are strangers, but why did you allow these two brothers to threaten me to come here so presumptuously?"
Ruan Suhe didn't even know who she was, and she still wanted to hire someone? This attitude was simply condescending, okay?
"Impertinent? Blackmail? How is that possible? My order is just to 'invite' you to come over and have a chat, nothing more."
"Oh, I'm really sorry if my men took action. It was definitely not my order."
The old lady sat in the upper seat, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand, and spoke calmly.
Ruan Suhe didn't believe this one-sided statement, and she didn't relax her guard at all, "Chat? What do you want to talk to me about, Madam? What can you talk to me about?"
Seeing that she didn't have the respect that a junior should have, the old lady's face darkened, "Young comrade, you probably don't know that I'm Lu Zhengxiang's grandmother and Fu Hengye's biological mother."
Oh~ So it’s that wealthy family~ No wonder they behaved like that.
Since she was Fu Hengye's biological mother, Ruan Suhe had already guessed what she wanted to talk to her about.
"Oh, I see. But sorry, my family, Zheng Xiang, hasn't entered this family yet, and his name doesn't appear in your family tree. He has nothing to do with you. Doesn't that mean I have nothing to do with you either?"
As the saying goes, he who strikes first gains the advantage. Ruan Suhe planned to express his attitude and wait and see the old lady's reaction.
"You! How can a crude country girl like you be worthy of my descendant?"
Her words made the old lady's face change immediately. She pointed at her, shook her head and denied it directly.
"I'm vulgar? Why? Do you look down on country people? I'm afraid your family must have been country folk for generations."
Ruan Suhe would never feel that she was of humble origin just because of a few words from her.
"You! You! You don't know what's good for you! Hengye and I don't want you to be with Zhengxiang. You'd better be smart, you little bitch. Wait for Zhengxiang to come back from this mission and get a divorce certificate with him!"
Seeing that she refused to listen, the old lady gave her order directly.
"Why? My husband Zheng Xiang and I are very much in love now, otherwise how could we have twins?"
"Why? You say divorce and I'm getting divorced? How embarrassing for me? Isn't that right, old lady?"
Ruan Suhe wasn't brought up to be scared, and she's not eloquent for nothing, so shouldn't she show off her real strength?
"! As expected! You are indeed a country bumpkin, so vulgar! Do you think you are a good match for our Zheng Xiang?"
"You are a country loser! What can you do in our Jing City? You can be crushed to death just like an ant."
"Zhengxiang could have had a better future. He could have made it big. But it was you! You, a crude country girl, who stood in his way!"
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, the old lady had to change direction and use her status to suppress him.
But she didn't know that this meant nothing in Ruan Suhe's eyes.
"But~ Old lady~ Excuse me for being blunt, but I haven't seen your family help our Zhengxiang at all since he was a child~"
"You don't know that Zhengxiang had a very hard life since he was a child. In the middle of winter, he had to break ice to get water, and in the middle of the night, he had to go up the mountain alone to chop firewood."
"Also, he had to wash all the clothes at his adoptive mother's house by hand. If he hadn't had his own ideas and insisted on joining the army, he wouldn't have his current position~"
"But~ where were you all those years? We never knew~"
Who is Ruan Suhe? Her heart is as strong as cement, and can withstand any blow!
She looked aggrieved and narrated Lu Zhengxiang's life story in a pitiful voice.
"You don't know yet! Zhengxiang was able to rise to his current position with my help. I am the one taking care of the twins, so he has nothing to worry about. I am the strong woman behind him."
Haha, as long as you are not angry to death, you will be angry to death. This is Ruan Suhe's usual style.
The series of words made the old lady at a loss for words for a moment, "You, you! As long as you leave Zhengxiang, we will find a way to promote Zhengxiang's position again and again!"
"Old lady, don't worry. Zhengxiang can't live without me right now. Besides, he is still on a mission and I heard his life is in danger..."
"Who said his life is in danger? That kid is tough, so he will be fine. In that case, let's wait for him to come back. I believe he will listen to me."
Before Ruan Suhe finished her words, the old lady rushed to deny it, and was particularly sure that Lu Zhengxiang would listen to her.
After hearing this, Ruan Suhe understood instantly. She knew that this designated mission must be related to this old lady, otherwise why would she mention her name?
"But? Old lady? How do you know Zhengxiang is okay? I received a notice before that Zhengxiang was seriously injured~"
She had to act to the end, and since the old lady had already let the secret out without her noticing, it wasn't impossible for her to continue throwing out clues.
"I...I...how could I not know? Of course, any news from the team would be passed on to my family as soon as possible. How could you, an outsider, know the twists and turns?"
Her question made the old lady a little flustered for a moment, but then she pretended to be calm.
This reaction made Ruan Suhe realize that there must be some shameful activity going on.
She estimated that it was getting late and knew that the old lady couldn't do anything to her now, so she became fearless.
"Is that so? But I still have a mission at the military headquarters. If I don't go back quickly, I'm afraid Commander Fu will be anxious."
Now that she had a general idea, she had to get out of here as quickly as possible.
The old lady couldn't believe it. "You? You have a mission? Are you trying to show off your power in front of me?"
It seemed that the old lady was a little unconvinced. She looked up at her subordinates behind her and nodded, signaling them to go and ask around.
Ruan Suhe was not panicked at all. After all, she was not lying, and translation was also a task, right?
Not long after, one of the men in black came back and walked up to the old lady. He lowered his head and whispered something in her ear with his hand. It was unknown what she heard, but the old lady widened her eyes with a look of disbelief.
"Ahem, since, since you still have a mission, I'll have someone escort you back."
Obviously, the old lady knew that what she said was true, so she concealed her embarrassment and waved her hand.
Then, Ruan Suhe's eyes were filled with darkness again...
...Is there some shameful secret that he has to cover his eyes when going out? Ruan Suhe became even more suspicious.
