Lan Rui took his mother for a few rounds on the big lawn and then came back.
When the wife of the house owner came back, she was holding a doll with a gentle smile on her face. She walked with a calm pace and elegant temperament.
Looking at her now, you can't tell at all that she is a lunatic.
However, apart from Aunt Ling who came towards her, no one else dared to approach.
Lian Lan Rui stood up from the sofa but did not walk over.
"Aunt Ling, accompany my mother back to her room to rest."
Lan Rui saw that his father was still at home and knew that his father had something to say to him.
So I handed my mother over to Aunt Ling. Aunt Ling would sometimes talk about my mother's condition, but she still hoped that my mother would get better.
Now, there are only a handful of people in this family who truly hope that their mother can get better.
"Lan Rui, I'll take the baby back to the room to rest first. You should also rest early after you're done with your work."
The wife of the head of the family no longer calls her son "husband", but calls her husband by his name.
When she called out like that, Lan Rui grinned. Just as he was about to respond, he heard his son say softly, "Mom, I get it. Go back and have some rest. I'm free tomorrow morning and will take you out for a walk."
After their mother went crazy, the Lan family was afraid of being embarrassed and the madman hurting others, so they did not allow the head of the family's wife to go out.
It can be said that since Lan Qing went missing, the head of the family’s wife has not left the Lan family for more than twenty years.
Fortunately, the Lan family occupies a very large area, so even if you wander around your own house, you won’t be bored.
Lan Rui's smile froze as he watched his wife holding the doll and following Aunt Ling upstairs.
This scene is very similar to what happened more than 20 years ago...
"Dad, do you want to tell me something?"
Lan Rui moved closer and caught the disappointment in his father's eyes. He sneered, with sarcasm hanging on the corners of his mouth.
After his mother went crazy, his father and Hei Ruyue became intimate. Now, not only the people of the Lan family, but the entire Wangcheng people regarded Hei Ruyue as the wife of the head of the Lan family.
Lan Rui knew that his mother's family had fallen into decline. His grandparents and uncles had all died, leaving only his cousin to run the family, but he could not do it alone.
Over the years, if it weren't for the support of the Lan family, his cousin and the company would have been divided up by certain people long ago.
Therefore, it is impossible for the mother to expect her family to support her.
This is also the reason why Hei Ruoyue is becoming more and more arrogant, because Hei Ruoyue's family is powerful.
"Well, let's go to Dad's study."
Lan Rui retracted his gaze from his wife and met his son's mocking eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain, but swallowed his words back. In the end, he said nothing and turned away.
Lan Rui's study is not inside the house like others. His is built outside, an independent wooden house. There is nothing around the house, it is empty.
Usually, Lan Rui's personal bodyguard guards the study. No one can enter the master's study without Lan Rui, as it is a forbidden area of the Lan family.
When discussing matters in the master's study, there is no need to worry about being overheard by others because there is nowhere to hide and eavesdrop.
Lan Rui chose to answer the phone on the lawn because he learned this trick from his father.
Along the way, the father and son didn't speak.
The night is dark and quiet.
The street lights are like soldiers guarding a city, standing guard loyally and bringing light to this world.
"Master, Young Master."
The bodyguard guarding the study called out respectfully when he saw the father and son coming.
The four bodyguards are Lan Rui's confidants. They are loyal and cannot be bribed by anyone. They only believe in Lan Rui's words and even the old patriarch cannot order them around.
However, the four of them were still very nice to the young master Lan Rui.
Lan Rui hummed.
He took his son into his study.
Although it is a wooden house, it is decorated quite elegantly inside and has all the necessary furniture.
Lan Rui went to pour water first, giving his son and himself a cup of warm water.
Lan Rui did not sit down, but walked straight to the desk and picked up the photo frame on the desk. The photo inside was a family portrait of their family of four, which was also taken more than 20 years ago.
Although the photos are old, the people who protect them are very careful, so even after more than 20 years, the photos look like they were taken newly.
Lan Rui and his wife in the photo are still very young. They are each holding a child, who are Lan Rui and his sister.
He and his sister are twins, a boy and a girl. They don't look exactly alike, but they are about 40% similar. He looks like his father, and his father inherited his grandfather's good looks when he was young.
My mother said my sister looked very much like my grandmother, but when she was a few months old, Lan Rui couldn't put the cute sister's face together with my grandmother's no matter how hard he looked.
After all, the old lady is old, and no matter how well she takes care of herself, wrinkles on her face are inevitable.
"Have a drink of water."
Lan Rui handed one of the glasses of water to his son.
Lan Rui took the glass of water handed to him by his father and thanked him.
"We are father and son, there is no need to be so polite."
Lan Rui sighed and said, "You are the only child by Dad's side. We should be closer as father and son."
Lan Rui didn't say anything, but from the slightly curved corners of his mouth, it could be seen that he was sneering.
Why did the relationship between father and son become strained? Wasn’t it all caused by the father?
He thinks his mother is crazy and wants to find another woman to accompany him to social events. Shouldn't he at least give his mother an explanation?
You can divorce.
Instead of cheating on his mother again and again, he also brought Hei Ruoyue home. That woman regarded herself as the wife of the head of the family and often bullied his mother when he was not at home.
"Dad, you can just say whatever you want to say."
Lan Rui finally spoke.
His blunt words made Lan Rui choke.
"Your sister... is still looking for her?"
Lan Rui didn't say anything, waiting for his father to continue.
"After so many years, we still don't know whether she is alive or dead. When she is alive, we can't see her in person, and when she is dead, we can't find her body. All those with the surname Zhuang who die are reincarnated."
When Lan Rui mentioned the surname Zhuang, there was hatred in his eyes.
It was that woman who caused his wife and children to be separated.
"She's been missing for over twenty years. If she was picked up by someone and didn't know her origins, even with the advancement of science today, finding her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Dad, do you want me to give up the search?"
Lan Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad thinks that if we continue searching, in case she is still alive, it will most likely put her in danger."
"If we give up, they will feel no threat, and your sister can live well somewhere."
"She has a shallow connection with us. No matter where she lives, let's not disturb her life."
Lan Rui's face darkened as he questioned, "Did Hei Ruyue persuade Dad to give up?"
Hei Ruoyue wanted to marry in and become the mistress of the family, and she also wanted to have children in the future. Naturally, she didn't want to give all of Lan Rui's property to his original wife's two children.
Lan Rui is still the young master now. Once she marries and has a son, she will no longer let Lan Rui be the young master.
