Ruan Qingsong was fine, as he was a young man and was more accepting of his sister's relationship. But Ruan Yongqing was different.
When Xia Zhao revealed that he was Ruan Tao's boyfriend, the lunch box in Ruan Yongqing's hand fell to the ground with a bang.
When Xia Zhao heard the loud noise, he thought: It's over!
the fat is in the fire!
Xia Zhao quickly glanced at Ye Linlang as if asking for help, as if to say, Sister, help me!
Fortunately, Xia Zhao was not so stupid that he was hopeless. He quickly went to clean up the food on the ground.
Ruan Yongqing also woke up from his initial panic and asked Ruan Tao, "Taozi, what's going on?"
Ruan Tao avoided Xia Zhao early in the morning.
She never thought that she could not avoid the trouble, so she just went straight to the point and confessed everything.
"Dad, this is Xia Zhao, my tutor for the past few months. We officially became romantically involved after the college entrance exam."
Ruan Tao's courage in admitting her relationship with Xia Zhao was beyond Ye Linlang and Xia Zhao's expectations.
Ruan Yongqing asked Ruan Tao very seriously, "Ruan Tao, do you know how old you are this year?"
Ruan Tao knew her own age, and she said very seriously, "Dad, if it weren't for Xia Zhao, there would be no me in this world."
Before Ruan Yongqing could say anything about Xia Zhao, he only heard Ruan Tao continue, "Dad, I'm not as strong as you think. I'm disfigured, I'm lame, and I've left the stage I loved most. The past 18 years of my life have collapsed in an instant. I've even thought about dying."
"I don't know what the meaning of my life is. I've also thought about dying and putting an end to it all."
"I stood under the bridge, looking at the flowing water, and I wondered what would happen if I jumped from here and died? Would everything disappear with my death?"
"I've thought about this question countless times, countless times..."
"The day Xia Zhao and I met, I stood in the middle of the stone bridge. I looked at the water flowing under the bridge and thought, maybe I should jump off."
"Xia Zhao saved me. He said his sister could heal my injuries and help me with my studies. Dad, it was Xia Zhao who gave me the courage to start over."
"Dad, I know I'm eighteen years old this year. I also know there's a certain age difference between Xia Zhao and me, but what does that matter? I love Xia Zhao very much. He is my whole world, my universe."
Hearing Ruan Tao say such words so calmly, Ruan Yongqing felt as if needles were pricking his heart.
He didn't know how to face Ruan Tao, as if Ruan Tao's decadence was caused by him.
"Peach, I'm sorry."
Ruan Tao's eyes were slightly red, and she said softly, "Dad, this is none of your business. I was just obsessed with this and kept getting stuck in a dead end. I won't do that anymore. Look, my legs are healed now, the wound on my face is healed, and my college entrance exam is over. I've also estimated my scores, and I think I'll have no problem getting into a key university. Dad, my future is bright."
Ruan Yongqing's heart still felt heavy and uncomfortable.
He didn't even know that his daughter had struggled on the line between life and death.
He didn't even know if his daughter would really be dead if it weren't for Xia Zhao.
"Your name is Xia Zhao?" Ruan Yongqing asked.
Xia Zhao quickly stood up straight and said respectfully and humbly, "Uncle, my name is Xia Zhao."
