Chapter 42 Du Family (Additional Update) "He is not very well behaved."...
It seems that I must meet Mrs. Du.
Tian Ruan thought, well, even if it was true as Yu Jingmo said, that he was Madam Du’s son, that was not the real him, but Tian Yuan who had disappeared from this world.
He came from the world outside the book and was a stranger. It's not that his soul traveled across time and space, but that he traveled across time and space in his body. It's impossible for him to have a blood relationship with anyone.
Tian Ruan called Yu Jingmo and explained the situation.
Yu Jingmo asked: "Where is the Du family?"
Tian Ruan asked the driver.
The driver said: "I bought a villa in Jinyu Mantang for the time being."
"A house full of gold and jade?" Isn't that right below the Yu family manor? Tian Ruan was a little surprised.
Driver: "It's a good place with good feng shui, so naturally everyone likes it."
"That's quite close to my home, Yu." Tian Ruan's tongue was almost tied.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Jingmo seemed to laugh when he heard Tian Ruan say "my home", and said in a calm voice: "You go first, I'll be there soon."
"Okay." Tian Ruan felt relieved. It seemed that the Du family was not a dangerous place, but a neighbor. After hanging up the phone, Tian Ruan was puzzled again, "Since he bought a house, why did Du Henbie live in a hotel?"
The driver smiled and said, "The house is ready, but the furniture and furnishings need to be purchased bit by bit. Mrs. Du is in poor health, and the smell of the furniture needs to be dispersed before she can move in."
"So when did you buy the villa?"
The driver realized he had said too much and quickly shut up.
The forgotten Lu Qiuyan spoke up: "So can you still take me home?"
Tian Ruan then remembered that Lu Qiuyan was implicated, but wasn't this God's will? Tian Ruan said eagerly: "Just accompany me for a walk. I haven't been to the Du family yet."
Lu Qiuyan: “…You said the same thing when you went to the amusement park.”
Although, Lu Qiuyan still fell for it.
Tian Ruan counted on his fingers and decided to take Lu Qiuyan to any e-sports city, game hall, comic convention, etc., as long as he had never been to that place. On the one hand, it can enhance their friendship, and on the other hand, it can avoid the death ending. It's perfect.
The Du family lives in the villa at the top and east of the Jinyumantang villa complex. The location is quiet and remote. Except for squirrels, birds, and sanitation workers, basically no one goes to this corner.
It is in such a corner that you can see the most beautiful sunrise and the scenery of mountain scenery blending with fog.
Unfortunately, it was already past sunrise, the sun was high in the sky, and the autumn heat was roaring overhead, releasing the last bit of autumn heat. Tian Ruan was wearing a T-shirt and a denim jacket and was already feeling hot.
The gate of the villa is very low. Unlike other wealthy houses, this place is full of vitality. The courtyard is full of various flowers that cannot be named. Most of the flowers are small, such as baby's breath and daisies, which are very cute at first glance.
A tall and slender female housekeeper came out. When she saw Tian Ruan, she was stunned for three seconds, then she stepped forward to greet him, "Welcome. Master Tian, my name is Dew, and I am the housekeeper of the Du family."
"Hello." Tian Ruan felt strange, not because of the housekeeper, but because it seemed like everyone here knew him.
But he knew nothing about them.
Dew took Tian Ruan and Lu Qiuyan into the villa.
The villa is not like a manor, the space is very limited, Dew just raised his voice and said: "Madam, he is here."
After a while, a woman with delicate makeup and gentle eyes walked down the spiral staircase. She had big wavy hair, a moon-white cheongsam and a mink fur shawl. When she walked down the stairs, it was as if the whole villa was in bloom with jasmine flowers.
"You..." Mrs. Du burst into tears before she could say anything, "Good boy, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Mrs. Du walked up to Tian Ruan, and Tian Ruan was surprised to find that Mrs. Du was almost as tall as him. He subconsciously looked at Mrs. Du's feet and found that she was indeed wearing a pair of five-centimeter high heels.
In addition, she wore a pearl necklace around her neck, an oversized diamond ring on her right ring finger, and a retro thin chain ladies' watch on her left wrist.
The scent of jasmine came from Mrs. Du. Tian Ruan looked at the face that looked similar to her own, whose light makeup could not hide her sickness, and felt a very special feeling flowing in her heart.
It's like the sound of ice and snow melting in spring, gurgling and flowing in a long winding way.
Mrs. Du dressed up specially to meet him.
"Hello, Mrs. Du. My name is Tian Ruan. What can I do for you?" Tian Ruan had a schoolbag on her shoulders. Her hair was draped over her eyebrows and was not combed at all. It was even a little messy. She was dressed in ordinary clothes. In Mrs. Du's eyes, she looked like she was suffering.
Mrs. Du burst into tears: "Can I show you a photo of you when you were a child?"
Tian Ruan was embarrassed and said bluntly: "Mrs. Du, I am not your child."
Mrs. Du took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Then why are you called Tian Ruan?"
"?" Tian Ruan asked curiously, "What's wrong with calling me Tian Ruan?"
"Ruan is my last name," Mrs. Du said, "and your nickname is Tiantian."
Tian Ruan retorted: "My father's last name is Tian, and Ruan chose it myself. My original name was Tian Yuan."
Mrs. Du: "Tian Yuan? There's a 'Yuan' in my husband's name."
Tian Ruan: “…” There’s no way around it, right?
Lu Qiuyan couldn't sit still, so he didn't stand with Tian Ruan. He walked around the living room, admiring the paintings on the wall, and said lazily, "We can find out by doing a paternity test."
Tian Ruan nodded, "Since Mrs. Du doesn't believe it, let's do a paternity test."
Mrs. Du looked at Tian Ruan's face carefully and smiled bitterly: "I have a feeling that you are my son."
"We must believe in science." Tian Ruan pulled out a hair resolutely.
“…”
Mrs. Du gritted her teeth, pulled out a hair, and asked Dew to call a doctor, and had the doctor take it to an identification agency.
"The results can be out in as little as one day." Mrs. Du said, "Would you please stay here first?"
Tian Ruan couldn't refuse the invitation, so he asked Lu Qiuyan to stay and drink juice and eat cakes. Lu Qiuyan was impressed to see Tian Ruan so calm and composed. It seemed that Tian Ruan could quickly fit in wherever he went.
Not long after, the door of the villa opened, and Yu Jingmo and Du Henbie arrived at the same time. After all, in someone else's house, Yu Jingmo was polite and took a step behind.
Du Henbie walked in, glanced around, and smiled at Tian Ruan: "There is a will in the dark, and God guided you here."
Tian Ruan: "Did God also guide you to the swimming pool?"
Du Henbie: "..."
Mrs. Du: "What swimming pool?"
Yu Jingmo strode in, stood behind Du Henbie, and said politely, "Hello, Madam Du, I am Tian Ruan's husband, Yu Jingmo."
Although Mrs. Du had heard Du Henbie talk about this and was prepared, it was really hard for a mother-in-law to be satisfied with her son-in-law. However, she was gentle by nature and could not say anything harsh, so she nodded and said, "Are you rich?"
Yu Jingmo responded fluently: "A little bit."
"The estate on the hill is yours?"
"yes."
"Thirty this year?"
"yes."
"A ten-year age difference is not impossible."
Tian Ruan: “…” This scene looks so familiar.
This is what happened when Yu Jingmo first met Sha Meijuan...
Lu Qiuyan felt like an outsider—no, he was the outsider. He stood up with a weird feeling and said, “You guys chat, I’ll leave.”
Tian Ruan quickly grabbed Lu Qiuyan and said, "Don't go. Yu Shang will be here soon. When he comes, he will take you back."
"…Why wait for him? I have my own legs and can walk."
"It takes an hour to walk down the mountain from here. Are you sure you want to go?"
"You are very experienced?"
"..."Of course, Tian Ruan ran over with his own hands.
When he thought of this, his body trembled for no reason. He turned his head and saw Yu Jingmo's "gentle as spring breeze" mask.
Tian Ruan: "...Mr. Yu, are you thirsty? Come over and have some tea?"
Yu Jingmo walked over generously and appropriately. Lu Qiuyan gave up the most intimate seat at the right time. Yu Jingmo sat down next to Tian Ruan, "Thank you."
Mrs. Du looked at Yu Jingmo from a close distance and admired him secretly. He was indeed a handsome man and held a high position of power. Although he was excellent, she was afraid that her son would be treated badly.
Look at what he is wearing.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Yu Jingmo asked Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan: "What is this?"
Yu Jingmo used his hands to pick at the "brushed" holes on his denim jacket, "It's leaking air."
“…This is called fashion.”
"Your fashion was popular twenty years ago?"
Tian Ruan looked down at his outdated denim jacket and began to doubt himself. Could it be that his taste was just plain bad?
Mrs. Du asked, "Did you buy this dress yourself?"
Tian Ruan: "Yes, I bought it at the amusement park. Lu Qiuyan and I both bought it. It was only fifty yuan each."
“…”
Lu Qiuyan: “It’s a good deal.”
Tian Ruan nodded: "Yes."
Lu Qiuyan: "The most important thing is to look cool when fighting."
Tian Ruan nodded and paused: "Right?"
The whole place was silent.
Mrs. Du disagreed and said softly, "Fighting is not good. You are still young and don't know the limits. If you get hurt, it will be a lifetime."
Lu Qiuyan didn't say anything.
Tian Ruan ignored this and looked at the piano in the corner of the living room and said, "I can play the piano. Do you want to listen?"
I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway.
Mrs. Du immediately showed a loving smile: "Okay."
Tian Ruan stood up without hesitation, and elegantly sat down in front of the shiny lacquered piano. He opened the piano cover, and his slender white fingers fell on the black and white keys.
Boom boom clang! Doo Doo Rui—dudududu—quack quack—!
Tian Ruan played the piano with great abandon, unaware that the audience's expressions were shaken.
When the song ended, no one applauded.
If this happened in the Yu family, the housekeeper and the servants would applaud.
Tian Ruan blinked and looked at them, "...Isn't it nice to listen to?"
Yu Jingmo: “Yeah.”
Mrs. Du praised awkwardly: "It sounds good, you have a lot of talent, just a little practice..."
Lu Qiuyan couldn't stand it any longer: "Is this called playing the piano? Even playing with cotton pads sounds better than you."
Tian Ruan: “You play it!”
When Lu Qiuyan started playing the piano, one could only say that he was worthy of being rich; the sound of the piano was melodious and graceful, like the gentle breeze and bright moon. Under the halo of the protagonist, everyone is attracted by him except Yu Jingmo.
Tian Ruan was convinced, and the seal applauded: "Lu Qiuyan, you are great."
Du Henbie looked at Lu Qiuyan with interest, "I didn't expect you have this skill. Can you draw?"
Lu Qiuyan: “No.”
Tian Ruan mentioned: "He Lansi can draw, and he is also a substitute art teacher at Deyin."
Du Henbie raised his eyebrows, "His family is not in business, so he wants to be a teacher?"
"Maybe he got kicked in the head by a donkey."
Du Henbie nodded seriously, "I can see that his brain is not normal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Henbie received a condemning look from his mother.
Mrs. Du: "It's normal for people who study art to be more sensitive and naughty by nature."
"That's right." Du Henbie immediately agreed.
Next, Mrs. Du talked to Yu Jingmo again, and both of them were polite. Mrs. Du discovered that Yu Jingmo's words were flawless - isn't this a sign of great foresight?
So she asked, "What do you like about Tian Ruan?"
Yu Jingmo: “All.”
"Your answer is very cheating. Be specific."
Yu Jingmo found it difficult to understand the artist's train of thought, but he still tried to give a specific answer: "He is not very well behaved."
"?"
"To like someone means to like his or her shortcomings as well." Yu Jingmo is not experienced in relationships, but he is well versed in business, and there is only a slight difference between the two.
Whether it is love or business, both need to be managed.
To run a business, you have to put in a lot of effort.
There are bound to be some defects in this business. These defects can be big or small, depending on your own situation.
Yu Jingmo has enough confidence and control to deal with these shortcomings. With just a slight change in the wording, you can give a perfect answer.
So he said this in a very natural tone, totally unaware of how big a thunderbolt he was dropping.
The young man next to him was shocked and stunned, and he blushed with shame, his ears turned red, and finally he pursed his lips, looking at him with eyes like twinkling stars.
Yu Jingmo: “?”
