Ruan Qing and her daughter were still living in the residence assigned to them by her uncle's research institute.
The room isn't big, but it's just right for a family of three.
A black Jimmy drove on a wide road in Beijing, with the windows all open, and Ruan Baozhu's hair was blown all over the place by the wind.
She understood.
He thinks she smells bad!
Once she calmed down, Nguyen Bao Chu didn't impulsively make any accusations.
The experimental family compound is narrow, allowing vehicles to pass through, but inside the iron gates, children come downstairs for fresh air after meals.
Gu Zhengchi parked the car outside the gate, and the group walked into the family building.
The gatekeeper didn't stop them; he recognized Ruan Baozhu and Ruan Kangri's faces.
The three of them quickly registered, completely unaware of the pair of hateful eyes peering from the third floor above them.
"Coming!" Tian Tian slowly got up and helped Ruan Qing, who was lying on the bed, covering her face and groaning in pain.
"Grandpa has brought people over. Mom, you haven't forgotten what I told you, have you?"
Helped to her feet by her daughter, Ruan Qing's eyes also flashed with hatred.
The mother and daughter sat down at the dining table in the living room and picked up their bowls and chopsticks. Two dishes and a soup were laid out on the wooden table.
Tian Tian's voice was filled with sorrow, "Mom, I rarely come back, and you're injured and eating so little. How can I go back feeling at ease?"
"Just pretend I got this injury by accident. Baozhu went to great lengths to get you transferred to Heilongjiang Province. If you don't agree, don't cause her any trouble. I can't eat."
"Going to help me?" Tian Tian raised her voice eight octaves. "If you really wanted to help, you wouldn't have assigned me to the same brigade as Ruan Xianxian, who has a deep-seated grudge against the Ruan family."
She clearly wanted to see me and Ruan Xianxian fight, preferably one of us dying.
Ruan Qing slammed down her chopsticks and bowl. "Do you really believe that a perfectly good newlywed wife would abandon her husband and run off to Yunnan Province to relax and then just happen to save someone?
He added, "Knowing there was something wrong with her, instead of staying away, you went right up to her. Did you want to die even faster? Haven't my injuries taught you a lesson yet?"
Seeing her daughter looking dazed after being scolded, she softened her tone and said, "Tian Tian, listen to your mother, go back to Heilongjiang Province tomorrow."
Your older cousin's unresolved issues are with the Ruan family; she won't bully you excessively.
Furthermore, Baozhu may not be as bad as we think. Don't forget, she's the one who helped you transfer from the Northwest to Heilongjiang Province.
Judge by actions, not intentions; no one is perfect by intentions alone. Listen to me.
In the sweltering heat of August, almost every household with no effective cooling measures had their doors and windows open.
The draft from the through-draft dispels the unbearable heat.
Tian Tian's family was no exception.
Gu Zhengchi and his two companions went upstairs and overheard the above conversation.
Ruan Baozhu's face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.
Ruan Kangri's expression also changed. He deliberately made a commotion, but after being given a meaningful look by Gu Zhengchi, he still did not give up.
evil creature!
What are these wretched mother and daughter saying? Do they want to completely destroy the precious pearl?
What good will it do the Ruan family if they lose the Gu family's favor?
He coughed loudly on purpose, as if he couldn't take it anymore.
The mother and daughter behind the door seemed deaf and oblivious, which made him so angry he almost fell over.
Not daring to take any more drastic action, Gu Zhengchi raised one hand behind him, a combat order to halt the advance and lie in wait.
He was afraid that if he did too much, he would make a mistake and alert the enemy.
But his eyes, like those of a venomous snake, were already filled with murderous intent.
Tian Tian also slammed down her chopsticks and bowl, stood up, making a dragging sound as she pulled her chair along, clearly agitated.
"She didn't mean any harm? Look at this." The sound of papers being slapped on the table rang out.
Ruan Baozhu, standing outside the door, was as white as a sheet and swayed precariously. She had a rough idea of what was on the paper.
It was a telegram she sent to the Northwest when she contacted Tian Tian.
Why are you still keeping it?
Why did I leave behind these plans to harm her when I had clearly helped her?
"How could this be?" Ruan Qing's trembling, low voice came from inside the room.
Ruan Baozhu rolled her eyes and fainted, perhaps because she couldn't bear the blow, or perhaps for something else.
Gu Zhengchi reached out and caught it.
Ruan Kangri cried out in anguish, "Baozhu! What's wrong with you? Didn't you want to leave your grandfather and make me, an old man, bury my young?"
Gu Zhengchi glanced at the Ruan family brigade commander again.
His cry of pain rang out, and the room fell silent instantly.
Old Man Ruan seemed frantic, snatching his granddaughter from Gu Zhengchi's arms, "Quick, take her to the hospital!"
He added, "The injury must have occurred in Yunnan Province, and the old injury flared up after being exposed to cold. He must be taken to the hospital as soon as possible."
He turned around and rushed downstairs, with Gu Zhengchi following behind.
Knowing full well that Ruan Kangri's mention of Yunnan Province at this time was a deliberate attempt to use the life-saving grace as a pretext for his actions.
But he was overthinking it.
Gu Zhengchi believed he could distinguish right from wrong, and that those around him with a little ulterior motive were better than fools.
He was curious about the truth within just one gate, but there was no need for him to delve into it completely.
What does that have to do with him?
The three of them had just hurried down half a flight of stairs when they heard hurried footsteps behind them. It was Tian Tian chasing after them.
Her face still held a look of disbelief. Was Gu Zhengchi blind to such an obvious act of feigning fainting to avoid the situation?
"Grandpa, cousin, Brother Gu, what brings you here? And what happened to my cousin?"
As they spoke, he took out the shoe-sewing needle that Ruan Xianxian had given her, and to everyone's surprise, he struck Ruan Baozhu's philtrum with it.
Blood started flowing out immediately.
Ruan Baozhu let out a loud bang, unable to keep up the act any longer. Her eyes widened into saucers, and she jumped up from Ruan Kangri's arms, bending over, covering her mouth, and stomping her feet.
It looks like it's in excruciating pain.
Tian Tian moved quickly, quickly and unexpectedly. With Gu Zhengchi's skills, he could have stopped her if he wanted to, but he didn't want to.
It's quite amusing to see the two sisters in the same family stabbing each other in the back.
"What do you want to do?" Ruan Kangri shoved Tian Tian, who was about to step forward, away. Tian Tian landed on her tailbone on the cement steps.
