Yuan Tingchuan had no intention of explaining. He simply said, "Don't stay stuck in the house all the time. Go out for a walk, or go to the front and take a look."
Just as Du Ruo was about to speak, she heard a noisy sound outside, and it seemed that Xiaozhe was talking. She looked out the window in surprise, and sure enough, she saw Xiaozhe and Yuan Shurui running around in the yard hand in hand. She could even hear the laughter of the two children in the house.
Du Ruo slowly walked to the door and waved to the two children. Xiaozhe cheered when he saw his mother and ran over to hug her thighs. The little boy's eyes were full of worry: "Mom, they said you were injured. How are you?"
Du Ruo's eyes were full of smiles, but she scolded him, "Who brought you here? Why didn't you call Mom? Didn't Mom tell you not to go with strangers?"
Yuan Shurui said from the side: "Auntie Du, I went to pick up Xiaozhe. He left with me. Don't say anything about him. I'm not a stranger."
Du Ruo complained in his heart, you two are quite sociable.
Du Ruo led the two children to sit on the sofa. Xiaozhe saw that his mother was struggling to walk and tears were already in his eyes. He asked in a sobbing voice: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Du Ruo smiled and stroked his hair gently: "It's okay, Mom accidentally fell down, and she will be fine in a couple of days. Don't worry, I will take you two out to play when I get better."
Yuan Shurui said seriously: "Auntie Du, don't be afraid. Xiaozhe and I will take care of you. When I grow up and make a lot of money, you won't have to work anymore. I will take care of you in your old age."
This big boss's son is quite sensible and much kinder and cuter than his biological father.
Du Ruo smiled and said, "We have already agreed that Auntie will wait for you to take care of me in my old age."
Yuan Shurui nodded seriously, he would definitely be able to do it.
Yuan Tingchuan made a gesture, indicating that it was time to eat.
The two children looked at his expression and leaned towards Du Ruo at the same time. When they saw her trying to get up with her crutches, one of them supported her.
Yuan Tingchuan followed the three of them to the dining room. He sat down and served Du Ruo a bowl of soup, then gave each of the two children half a bowl before it was his turn.
He said, "Mr. Li sent someone over today. I told him you were resting, but it seems like something's up. Give him a call later."
Du Ruo disagreed and said, "Since it was Mr. Li who called, you should have woken me up. Didn't he say what it was?"
"No, I can guess a little bit. It should be related to carving. You will know after you make a phone call later." Yuan Tingchuan looked a little disapproving. It was not a big deal. Why would he put himself in a difficult position?
Du Ruo rolled her eyes at him, this man.
After lunch, the two children ran to play with the latest toys. He was afraid that the two children would disturb Du Ruo, but he also knew that Du Ruo was worried about her son, so he specially asked someone to bring some new toys to the two little guys so that they would not have time to make trouble.
The two little guys were guarding their "mom" and having a lot of fun.
Du Ruo called the Li family, and it was Old Li who answered the phone: "What's wrong with you, girl? You got hurt after two days of playing in the countryside. Yesterday I was complaining about An Ze. He only works all day and it's hard for him to do anything. How could you get hurt right under his nose? What can he do?"
Du Ruo smiled and said, "I really can't blame him for this. He's very busy with work over there. He told me to be careful when I went out, but I ended up falling down. How can I blame him for this?"
There was a hint of laughter in Elder Li's voice. "Anyway, it's all because of this useless brat. I'm looking for you because of something. An old comrade of mine once lost something, and now he's bedridden and misses it terribly. I'd like you to make a replica. What do you think, Young Master Du?"
Du Ruo pondered and said, "It's definitely no problem to reproduce it, but it must have detailed drawings."
"Of course there is. I'll send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow, along with the jade raw materials. Is it convenient for you now?"
"My foot is injured, which doesn't affect my skills. I'm just bored, so could you please have something delivered to me?" He was free anyway, almost getting hairy from being idle, so it would be nice to touch his beloved jade and carving knife.
Elder Li was very happy. He sighed and explained, "My old comrade has been seriously ill recently. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to trouble you, Mr. Du. You're still recovering from your injuries, so I feel a little embarrassed."
"Don't worry about it, old man. Just have the things delivered."
Mr. Li was indeed very anxious and delivered the things in the evening.
At that time, Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan were walking around in the garden with their two children. Du Ruo was sitting in a wheelchair, and three handsome guys were accompanying her. This treatment was simply unparalleled.
When she got the thing, Du Ruo was a little surprised. She understood something from Yuan Tingchuan's words. This comrade of Mr. Li was not ordinary. But the jade in his hand was not too bad, but it was not outstanding either.
When she saw the pattern, Du Ruo almost dropped the thing on the ground. It was another phoenix pendant, exactly the same as the pattern Director Zhang had given her. This jade pendant was in her hand. What did it mean that someone kept asking her to copy it?
Could it be that this comrade-in-arms of Mr. Li has any relationship with her kind and gentle mother, Ms. Bai Minhua?
Seeing Du Ruo's surprised face, Yuan Tingchuan asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" He lowered his head to look at Du Ruo's hand, but there was nothing special.
Du Ruo folded the pattern and said, "It's nothing, it just looks a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."
Yuan Tingchuan knew there must be a reason. Since Du Ruo didn't want to tell him, he wouldn't force her. Who doesn't have a secret?
Yuan Tingchuan played badminton with two children on the lawn. They were in a group of two and he was their chaperone.
The man looked relaxed and at ease. The two children were sweating profusely as they walked with their short legs to pick up the ball.
Du Ruo looked at the three people playing ball, but her mind was not on that at all. She was still thinking about the phoenix pendant. The situation was very strange. She had never even seen her biological mother in her previous life, so why did so many unexpected situations happen in this life?
She wondered whether she should call Ling Yun. Maybe Ling Yun had heard of her in her previous life.
When I called in the evening, there was no signal.
Although it is normal now, as mobile phones are not yet popular and calls cannot be made in places where signals cannot be laid, Du Ruo is still a little worried. It has been a long time, and Ling Yun should have returned. Why is he still nowhere to be seen?
The place Ling Yun was going to was not a good place. The mountains were high and the roads were dangerous. He was also going to investigate that matter. As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. This was not fun.
