Ah, those nights of mutual comfort, sharing our secrets, the rain pattering on the banana leaves until dawn—what were we really talking about...? Ah!
You must be missing a screw in your head. You haven't even divorced Lu Yi yet, and you're already eager to grab a second man.
If a man is willing, you're his darling; if he's not, he'll just call you a friend!
Ruan Qing seemed to be frozen in place, and seeing Ruan Baozhu's heartbroken and almost crying herself to death, she felt extremely relieved.
She was foolish to think that the Ruan family had gotten close to the Gu family, and that Ruan Baozhu was punishing her, leaving her with nowhere to turn for help.
So there's an option to join if you can't beat them?
She was almost beaming with joy when suddenly, a cold, almost tangible gaze fell upon her, making Ruan Qing shiver and snap her back to her senses.
She waved her hand in a panic, "No need, no need to go to the hospital, Comrade Gu, Baozhu, you two must not let Aunt's matter damage your friendship."
"At my age, I'm still able to take care of my daughter, and that's enough. Social connections are still very important; there's no need to waste them on my appearance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Kangri's gaze sharpened instantly.
Gu Zhengchi seemed to be deep in thought. He chuckled and said, "Really? What's the use? Commander Ruan, you might as well tell me directly."
Ruan Kangri closed his eyes and reviewed the whole situation. He still couldn't find anything wrong with it, which made Gu Zhengchi's attitude change immediately.
What exactly was the point that suddenly put him on the opposite side of his grandfather and grandson?
Baozhu was too young to sense it, but Ruan Kangri could feel Gu Zhengchi's sudden hostility.
Thinking about everything that happened today, the only thing worth mentioning is Baozhu's suffering. As a grandfather, his first suspicion fell on his granddaughter.
But based on his understanding of Gu Zhengchi, he wouldn't care about such details at all.
Where exactly is the problem?
Now that things have come to this, if he doesn't speak up, he'll be suspected of taking advantage of the situation. If Gu Zhengchi concludes that the Ruan family has ulterior motives, then he and Baozhu will be truly finished.
When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint flashed in them. "Shut up!"
Her anger was directed at Ruan Baozhu, who was still immersed in her own world of sadness, and the latter was so frightened that she hiccuped.
The last time Grandpa was this angry was when she and Lu Yi made a fool of themselves!
Crying now is not an option, nor is not crying.
If it were just now, a heartbroken beauty would surely be a different kind of beauty, but her face was haggard, and her philtrum was swollen from being poked by the needle used to sew shoe soles.
Wiping away tears with both hands alternately is not only not pretty, but also a bit silly!
Even the old man found it too offensive to look at.
He spoke in a deep voice, his expression softening slightly, "An accidental injury is still an injury. Xiao Gu is right. He's trying to make amends for you. Are you so hurt that you can't tell right from wrong?"
Meeting her grandfather's meaningful gaze, Ruan Baozhu calmed down considerably.
Having been tricked by that despicable mother and daughter, continuing the conflict will only hurt those close to them and please their enemies, pushing Zhengchi brother even further away.
As if someone had doused her with a bucket of cold water, she stopped crying and said, as if to cut her losses:
"I... I didn't quite understand at first. When you said we were just friends, I panicked. I'm sorry, Jungchi-gege. I misunderstood."
I'm overjoyed that I can help my aunt get rid of her face.
“This child has experienced too much in one day,” Ruan Kangri quickly added.
In the past, I thought that Ruan Baozhu, with her spoiled nature, should be pampered. But now, what's the difference between Ruan Kangri and his grandfather, whose heart was biased to the Pacific Ocean?
"Can we go now?" Gu Zhengchi asked with a displeased expression.
He absolutely refuses to act in any scenes with either of them.
Ruan Baozhu, who could only look at a blind man with her eyes and eyebrows, was filled with extreme hatred and wanted to rush over to cry and complain about her grievances, but Gu Zhengchi subtly avoided her.
Ruan Qing seemed at a loss and was still hesitating, showing that she wanted to go but was afraid of being punished later, and hesitated in place for a while.
No one spoke. She knew that Ruan Kangri was unwilling to accept this and was deliberately putting her in a difficult position.
She hoped that she would refuse, so as not to waste favors and make Gu Zhengchi look ungrateful. If she refused this time, Gu Zhengchi would not help her a second time.
Just when things seemed to be in a bind, Tian Tian, like a little firecracker, rushed out of the room, her eyes sparkling with tears.
She wanted to grab Gu Zhengchi's arm to talk, but realized it was inappropriate halfway and withdrew her hand, only asking with an expectant look, "Really? Is it okay?"
The familiar expression and the familiar expectation stirred something in Gu Zhengchi's heart, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Of course, we can go now."
It was the mother and daughter's plight that reminded him of his own past. Ruan Kangri's guess was right; they were hopeless, and he wouldn't force them to stay. This was the only time.
"Great!" Tian Tian grabbed her mother and rushed downstairs.
As she passed by the grandfather and grandson with their sullen faces, she couldn't resist giving them a provocative look.
Tian Tian understood clearly that the "green tea, white lotus" tactics that Ruan the pervert had taught her were obviously not suitable for the present situation.
She had to act like Gu Zhengchi when he was a child, waiting for him to come and save her, so she couldn't appear too weak or incompetent.
If you put yourself in Gu Zhengchi's shoes, what would it be like if he had someone backing him up when he was a child? That's how she should act to meet his expectations.
Sure enough, although Gu Zhengchi didn't say anything, his gaze towards her was inexplicably doting. He strolled behind the mother and daughter, acting as if to protect them.
Watching the three figures leave in harmony, Ruan Kangri's face darkened, as if filled with malice. Ruan Baozhu could hardly believe what nightmare she was experiencing.
He opened his mouth for a long time, then asked, "Wh-what do you mean?"
The old man stood up, annoyed that his son was so weak. That boy surnamed Gu clearly favored his granddaughter. Was there even a need to ask?
"Aren't you coming? Standing there with your mouth open, are you waiting to be struck by lightning?"
Ruan Baozhu snapped out of her daze, not having time to think about how things had turned out this way. She took a step forward and followed, staring at the three harmonious figures ahead, a fierce resolve forming in her heart...
Tian Tian, you bitch, you're tired of living!
