Chapter 45 Cousin

After Du Ruo finished washing up and opened the door, she saw a figure standing in the mist.

The man was still wearing his black French shirt and matching suit pants, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, the flame flickering in the mist.

As he raised his hands, the luxurious and exquisite diamond watch on his wrist and the ruby ​​cufflinks on his cuffs complemented each other. He was staring at the horizon in a daze, and his back strangely carried a hint of stubbornness and unruliness.

Hearing the door open, Yuan Tingchuan casually threw the cigarette into the trash can beside the wall, turned around and signaled with his eyes, "Can I come in?"

Du Ruo now understood that she had taken the boss's child away and forgot about his phone number, which caused the boss to come to her house and kill her.

Since the boss was worried about his own child, it was understandable for him to go in and take a look. Du Ruo opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Yuan Tingchuan walked into the house without any hesitation. The house was not big, but it was very clean and tidy, and it did not look like a home with children.

Only the various toys displayed on the toy rack against the wall showed that there were children in the house.

The three people on the big bed were obviously sleeping sideways last night. The two little guys were sleeping soundly, one on each side, hugging the middle corner of the quilt tightly.

Yuan Tingchuan's gaze involuntarily fell on his son's face. Yuan Shurui looked very relaxed, and even smiled while sleeping. This was an expression Yuan Tingchuan had never seen before.

Countless nights, when he returned home, his son was already fast asleep. Most of the time, his brows were furrowed, his face was huddled together, and there was a look of anxiety on his face.

Yuan Tingchuan tried to change all this, but was always powerless. No matter what he did, his son kept his head down and refused to communicate with him.

He invited several well-known psychiatrists, but there was no improvement.

Yuan Tingchuan felt somewhat helpless about all this. He also knew that the only way to change the status quo was long-term companionship, but what he lacked at that time was precisely time.

He didn't even have the energy to think about Shu Rui. The various complicated affairs and social engagements in the group every day had already left his brain with no free time at all. His personal time had always been squeezed out.

Now, looking at his son's relaxed and happy expression, a gleam of light flashed in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes.

He turned around and glanced at Du Ruo. He knew that Du Ruo was always very busy. How did this woman maintain such a balance?

While he was thinking, he saw Du Ruo coming up and started calling the two kids to get up and wash up quickly so that they could send the father and son away!

It was rare for Yuan Tingchuan to see his sons sleeping so peacefully. Just when he was about to say wait a moment, Du Ruo had already woken up the two children without any courtesy.

As soon as she looked up, she met the boss's dissatisfied eyes. Du Ruo sneered in her heart, I took care of your children for nothing, and I didn't even say thank you, and you are still dissatisfied with me? Did you pay me for being a nanny?

Seeing Du Ruo's fierce gaze, Yuan Tingchuan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. He also knew that he was being a little unreasonable.

Yuan Shurui was woken up from his sleep and heard Xiaozhe say, "Mom, I'll sleep a little longer, just a little while~"

He also said drowsily: "Mom, I want to sleep too."

Yuan Tingchuan, who was standing beside the bed, froze and turned around to look at Du Ruo. What was going on?

Du Ruo spread his hands, indicating, don’t ask me, ask your son.

Du Ruo took out some change from his pocket. No matter what, the guest is here, and he can't let him leave hungry, right?

Cooking was out of the question, she only cooked for herself and her son.

Du Ruo planned to buy some breakfast at the door. He didn't know what the boss wanted to eat, so he bought some anyway.

When Yuan Tingchuan saw her taking the change and preparing to go out, he turned around and wanted to go with her. Du Ruo looked at him speechlessly and was defeated in the eyes of the boss.

Just follow it, you can save some money.

At the entrance of the alley is a snack street that specializes in selling breakfast. They only sell breakfast in the morning and will not serve customers after you arrive.

Du Ruo knew that it was not that they did not do business during the day, but after breakfast, there were not many people and these stalls would be moved to the farmers' market.

Yuan Tingchuan's dress was out of tune with these people, and attracted many people's attention along the way.

Neighboring Aunt Wang pulled Du Ruo aside and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Du Ruo paused for a moment, then said naturally, "My cousin from my aunt's family."

Unexpectedly, this Aunt Wang knew quite a lot. She gossiped to Du Ruo in a low voice, "I heard that your cousin is a piece of shit, but he looks like a decent person here? Is he your cousin who gambles?"

Du Ruo...

She really had forgotten about her cousin Fan Jun's bad reputation, and then looking at the boss, it didn't match up.

Du Ruo said seriously: "You are talking about my second aunt's cousin, this is my eldest aunt's cousin."

Telling one lie requires covering it up with countless lies.

Aunt Wang asked in confusion: "Old Du's family only has one aunt? How come you have two aunts?"

Du Ruo...this is not over yet.

While Yuan Tingchuan was waiting for someone to bring him the gluten cake, he looked at Du Ruo with a smile in his eyes and continued to make up stories.

Du Ruo glanced at him, her eyes clearly showing that there was nothing she could do. She was already on top of the tiger and couldn't get off.

Du Ruo said nonsense in a serious tone, "This is the aunt I lost a few years ago. I only recognized her as my relative in the past two years."

This is indeed true. Du Ruo's aunt went missing a few years ago, and everyone in the area knew about it.

Aunt Wang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, it was lost for so many years, but it was still found. What a fate! I think your cousin is not an ordinary person. His family is quite rich, right?"

Du Ruo continued to talk nonsense: "What kind of money does he have? If he had money, why would he visit a poor man like us? He just likes to pretend."

This makes sense. How many people become disloyal once they get rich? If Du Ruo's cousin was really a rich man, would he have rushed to their house?

Aunt Wang lost interest immediately. She had been thinking that her granddaughter was still looking for a partner, and this man looked like a rich man. Perhaps this was her granddaughter's marriage destiny. But after hearing what Du Ruo said, she realized that this man was just a show-off. Aunt Wang waved her hand and left.

Du Ruo knew the truth and couldn't help laughing, which made Yuan Tingchuan laugh so hard that he felt creepy. Even though he was extremely smart, he couldn't figure out what was so funny.

Du Ruo looked at the boss with a rare look of confusion in his eyes, and she couldn't help laughing again. She talked nonsense, but in the end the boss was rejected by the old lady.

Not to mention that the boss was quite down-to-earth. He bought two layers of steamed buns, some tofu pudding, and various meatball snacks. He bought a lot of all kinds of things.

Auntie Wang’s advertising was very good. When the two of them went to buy things one after another, the stall owner would ask: “Is your cousin here? Do you plan to stay for a while?”
