Chapter 149 The Cold World
In terms of how close they are, it's natural that the cheap aunt got it. Unfortunately, Han Ming is slippery and always stands behind Qu Xin. His hands have never been stained with dirt, so this matter can never be blamed on him.
Bai Minhua was heartbroken when she saw the box of counterfeit items. She refused to go back to Chen's house anymore. She threw herself into Ji Yuan's arms and staged a flooding at Du Ruo's house every day, which made Du Ruo very upset.
What was even more disturbing was that her stepfather would come every day and sit there, crying to her mother. Every day, a tragic drama would unfold on time.
"Dad wanted to compensate you because he loved you, but your brother, who was not good enough, gave me the things in exchange, which hurt our father-daughter relationship. Can you forgive Dad?"
The son definitely cannot be rescued, and the cheap girl must be held on to tightly.
Bai Minhua wiped her tears with her hand.
"Don't tell me, it's just that we are not meant to be together. Let's just live our own lives."
This family is already in trouble. His step-brother is in jail and his father has retired. What's the use of them? They have no money and no things. Do they expect her, who is helpless and weak, to support them?
The father and daughter each had their own plans, but they all unanimously left Chen Guochang aside.
Du Ruo didn't care about her biological mother at all. She left the house to Ji Yuan and Bai Minhua, and planned to run away with Yuan Tingchuan with her children. Her house didn't feel like a home anymore, and she couldn't live here anymore. She really wanted to throw her biological mother and stepfather out, but she still had to give her stepbrother some face.
Besides, it was impossible for Bai Minhua to live here permanently. Du Ruo was a little puzzled as to why her mother hadn't left yet.
Yuan Tingchuan said, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Mr. Chen T must have some good stuff in his hands. He keeps it for his old age. Ms. Bai is probably thinking of this."
Du Ruo's eyes widened: "She has been fooled once, how dare she still ask for it?"
"Why would she be afraid? You didn't buy something for free. Don't forget that she also lost a piece of top-quality jadeite."
Du Ruo suddenly realized what was going on. She said, her mother has no shortage of money or anything, so why did she have to cry in her house? It turned out that she was waiting for her here, wanting to take back the top-grade jadeite in her hand? What was she thinking? Ms. Bai was fooled, and wanted her to pay for it? Dream on.
Ms. Bai Minhua really didn't give up.
She traveled thousands of miles to find a biological father, but in the end she only got a box of counterfeits. Her cheap daughter watched the fun from the side, and she also got a piece of top-quality five-color jadeite. Why?
Just based on the Ru kiln celadon washbasin that her father took out, she knew that Mr. Chen must have something valuable in his hands. Now that Chen Guochang was in prison, who could he give this thing to?
She cried every day in the lady's house. Maybe one day the lady would be soft-hearted and return the Five Fortune Jade to her? How can you know if you can succeed if you don't work hard?
Du Ruo used her actions to tell her that it was not possible.
When Bai Minhua woke up in the morning, she found the house empty. Not only were Du Ruo, Yuan Tingchuan and the two children missing, but even Ling Yun and Ji Bailin were gone. Bai Minhua was so angry that her face turned red, and this time she really wanted to cry.
What sin had she committed to give birth to two such creatures?
Du Ruo was also pushing Ji Bailin: "Why are you leaving? Just stay there, I don't care if you ask for rent. This is Yuan Tingchuan's house? It's not my house, why are you following me?"
"You are still my sister? You bully me like this, do you think I am stupid? If all of you leave, I will be the only one left, and I will be tortured to death by others, right?"
Ji Bailin turned to Yuan Tingchuan and said, "Brother-in-law, can I stay at your place for a while?"
The call of "brother-in-law" was quite pleasing to the ear. Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "Just stay here for as long as you want."
"Okay, my brother-in-law is still open-minded. I think the building next to the garden pavilion is good. I will live there for a while."
When the two children heard that they were going to live next to the waterside pavilion in the garden, they pulled Ji Bailin and shouted, "We want to go too. We want to live with our uncle."
The two children have long wanted to live next to the waterside pavilion, but Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan were strongly against it. The two unreliable parents were busy, and the children were at a stage when they were naughty, so it was not safe to live next to the waterside pavilion. Now that Ji Bailin went to live there, and with their uncle there, the two children also wanted to move in.
Du Ruo pinched Ji Bailin angrily and said, "You are not shy, are you? Then go and take care of the child for me."
Ji Bailin didn't care. He actually liked these two children very much, so he just took care of them.
"We are all family, what are outsiders doing?"
Yuan Tingchuan was also very happy. It seemed that he and Ruoruo could live in their own world.
He looked at Ling Yun and said, "Why don't you live there too? The scenery there is beautiful and it's quiet."
"I don't like quietness, so I'll live in the bedroom next to you two. I like to be next to Ruoruo."
Yuan Tingchuan gritted his teeth. This Ling Xiaosan was still so annoying. He should not have saved him if he had known earlier.
Just as everyone settled down, Li Anze came to the door in the afternoon.
As soon as he saw Du Ruo, he smiled and said, "I just went to Wutong Road and found out that you had moved away. You've only lived here for a few days. Why did you move?"
Du Ruo definitely couldn't tell him because it was because of her own mother.
"There are too many people. The house there is not big enough. It's a bit crowded."
This is true. Not counting these people, there are also the driver, the nanny, the bodyguards, and the people brought by Ling Yun and Ji Bailin. There are so many people coming and going that there are indeed not enough rooms.
Li Anze also thought of this. He nodded and said, "Yes, it was squeezed a little bit."
Then he sighed and said, "I went to see Brother Guochang yesterday. He was not around at this time, so I sent him some gifts. I didn't expect that I was the first person to send him gifts. It made me feel a little emotional."
The world had become so cruel that Li Anze couldn't help but sigh.
Du Ruo looked at him with a smile. An Ze looked serious and upright, but in fact his heart was not cold. He was indeed strong-willed in doing things, but he was also very humane. So Du Ruo was really reluctant to part with his friend An Ze.
"Chen Guochang's situation is his own fault. He actually extended his hand to the museum. It is simply audacious."
"Hey, there are some things that really can't be done wrong. In recent years, Brother Guochang has always said that all the expenses of the family are provided by my uncle, and I have never doubted it. Who knew that he would actually do such a thing? Money is attractive. The temptation of money is really great. In fact, I don't really understand it. I really don't have much desire for such things. I just want to have enough food and clothing."
Du Ruo looked at An Ze's serious face, she smiled and said: "You are different, you are not the same as him, your nature is different."
Du Ruo believed An Ze's words. Not only did An Ze not have much desire for money, he even longed for a simple life.
