Chapter 80 Visiting the Sick "If you touch me more, it will grow bigger."
When Tian Ruan heard that Du Henbie's head was broken by Helans' cousin, his first reaction was guilty. If he hadn't told Du Henbie about Orange Island, Du Henbie would not have gone to find Helans and would not have been beaten.
...What kind of curse has the Du family been cursed by? Why are they always being beaten? Last time it was Du Danren who was beaten by Sha Meijuan, this time it was Du Henbie.
Tian Ruan suspected that he would be the next one to be beaten.
At times like this, you should cling to the protagonist's thighs to avoid getting beaten.
Tian Ruan looked left and right and chose Lu Qiuyan. He was about to pounce on him, but just as his butt left the seat, a big hand grabbed the back of his neck and pushed him back.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Jingmo said calmly: "Do you want to go and watch the fun, or to see your elder brother?"
Tian Ruan: “Aren’t they all the same?”
Yu Jingmo smiled.
Tian Ruan: “?”
Mrs. Du hung up the phone and said apologetically, "My eldest son was beaten and is in the hospital. I have to go see him."
Yu Xinglong pulled his wife and daughter to their feet and said, "Then we won't bother you any more."
Lu's mother also said, "Goodbye."
Tian Ruan said quickly: "Anyway, it's not your family that was beaten. The Yu family invited you here today, so stay and have a meal first."
“…”
Yu Jingmo nodded, "Well, eating is more important."
Mrs. Du thought for a moment and said, "I haven't eaten yet, let's eat first."
Since Mrs. Du is not in a hurry, it is not easy for others to say anything.
The dining table is large enough to seat a family of four.
Aunt Liu had already prepared for the meal. She enthusiastically served the dishes and soup, and quietly told Yu Shang, "Master, remember to pick up some food for Master Lu. He is shy and embarrassed to eat."
Yu Shang: “Yeah.”
Lu Qiuyan and Yu Shang were separated by Lu's mother and an empty seat originally reserved for Lu's father. Opposite Tian Ruan was Madam Du, followed by Shen Wanyue, Yu Xinglong, and Yu Ti.
The housekeeper poured each person a glass of red wine and a glass of orange juice, and considerately gave a glass to Mr. Lu who was lying on the lawn.
As soon as Mr. Lu smelled the aroma of wine, he got up in a daze, drank it, and then continued to sleep soundly.
The butler played the violin and sang a canon to liven up the lunch.
Yu Jingmo was a man who never spoke while eating. When he didn't speak, the people below also fell silent. Tian Ruan, however, was restless. She winked at Yu Shang and pouted: "Cricket~"
Yu Shang reacted and wanted to serve food to Lu Qiuyan. He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with the serving chopsticks and passed it to him. He was still one meter away from Lu Qiuyan's bowl, "..."
Seeing this, Lu Qiuyan hesitated for a moment, stood up, picked up the bowl and held it over.
The two of them finished the joint with great difficulty, and the sweet and sour pork ribs fell into Lu Qiuyan's bowl.
Lu's mother was in the middle: "..."
"Thank you." Lu Qiuyan said.
Yu Shang said seriously: "You're welcome."
Tian Ruan thought it was fun, so he picked up a spring roll and handed it to Lu Qiuyan, "Lu Qiuyan, take it."
Lu Qiuyan picked up the bowl and completed the conversation with him.
Mother Lu's face became colder and colder, and she scolded her son, "Are you a beggar?"
Lu Qiuyan was stunned.
Tian Ruan was also stunned. Then he thought about it and gave Yu Jingmo a spring roll as well. "Mr. Yu, are you a beggar?"
There was silence at the dinner table, and the butler played the wrong tune on his violin.
Yu Jingmo said calmly: "No."
Tian Ruan said to Yu Jingmo, but his words were meant for others to hear: "A gentleman does not eat food given out of pity. Does this sound like alms or insulting food? Have I insulted you?"
Yu Jingmo curled up the corners of his lips: "No."
Tian Ruan nodded, "I respect you and want to be close to you, so I pick up the food I like for you."
"Um."
Mother Lu was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I was too excited."
Tian Ruan looked at Lu's mother, "Mrs. Lu, you should apologize to your son."
Mother Lu clenched her chopsticks, turned to Lu Qiuyan and said, "Mom misunderstood you."
Lu Qiuyan lightly brushed past the topic: "It's okay."
"You have very good classmates. They are all very good. They are role models worthy of your learning. I am happy for you."
"……oh."
Tian Ruan knew that Lu's mother said this not because she really thought he and Yu Shang were good friends, but it was just basic socializing. She hoped that Lu Qiuyan would make more friends from students in aristocratic schools to lay a foundation for his future entry into the business world.
But she didn't ask Lu Qiuyan what he liked to do or what his future dreams were.
Lu Qiuyan is free and uninhibited. He will do all kinds of things in the future and live his own life. He will not step into the cage of his parents' wishful thinking.
This is the only thing that makes Tian Ruan feel at ease.
After the meal, Yu Xinglong said goodbye with his wife and daughter. Knowing that they had something to do, Lu's mother wanted to leave as well, but she felt troubled as she looked at her husband lying on the lawn.
The housekeeper said, "Don't worry, Madam Lu, the car that will take you there is waiting outside."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "Thank you."
The bodyguard carried Lu's father into the car, and the back seat was full. Lu's mother sat in the passenger seat and said to Lu Qiuyan, "Help your father."
Lu Qiuyan: “I don’t want to help.”
The housekeeper is very good at handling things: "Don't worry, Madam Lu, bodyguards will carry Boss Lu in when we get home, and Young Master Lu will stay and do his homework with our Young Master, so that we can help each other."
Mother Lu did not refuse after hearing this. "Well, Qiu Yan, if you have any questions, please ask Master Yu. He is the president of the student union and the best in the school. There are many things you can learn from him."
Tian Ruan: "Lu Qiuyan also has many things that Yu Shang can learn from. For example, Lu Qiuyan is very smart, while Yu Shang is just a wooden man."
Yu Shang: “…I’m still here.”
There was a muffled thunder in the sky.
Mother Lu: "Is it going to rain? Let's go. President Yu, goodbye."
Yu Jingmo nodded, "Slow down."
Tian Ruan hugged Yu Jingmo's arm, closed her mouth and dared not tell the truth anymore.
Mrs. Du also said goodbye to Lu's mother, "Bring Xiaolu to the Du family when you have time. You are welcome."
Mother Lu forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Madam Du, for your kindness."
"Xiaolu is a good kid. If he is interested in foreign trade in the future, my family can lend a hand."
"good."
Tian Ruan saw a familiar shadow in Lu's mother. She was a bit like Sha Meijuan, with that weird energy of wanting her son to be successful but also wanting to hold him tightly.
Both proud and humble; both brave and cowardly.
From being the wife of a wealthy family, to falling into her current situation, she must feel very uncomfortable.
In the later part of the original book, Lu Qiuyan and his parents were basically strangers. Apart from paying alimony to his parents every month, they had almost no other communication. They all have a knot in their hearts that they can't get over, until their parents grow old and die, and then it is buried by time and can never be found again.
But at least now Lu Qiuyan respects and loves his mother, because he gradually becomes disappointed because he never gets the expected response.
"Mrs. Lu." Tian Ruan's sincere voice made Lu's mother look at him sideways.
Tian Ruan stood by the car and looked back at the entire history of the book. There was no doubt that Lu Qiuyan had never really received the love of his parents.
Maybe Lu's mother wanted to love the child, but she used the wrong approach. There was always a fire burning in her heart, wanting to fight for herself, but she was powerless and could only pin her hopes on the child.
But Lu Qiuyan also disappointed her.
Isn’t this the tragedy of an ordinary family under Chinese education?
"Mrs. Lu, there is something I want to tell you. You can treat it as nonsense, or you can think about it carefully." Tian Ruan didn't want to suffer as much as Lu Qiuyan. As long as she worked a little harder, the butterfly might be able to stir up a storm on the other side of the Atlantic.
"What?" Lu's mother was shocked by Tian Ruan's pure and compassionate eyes.
It was as if... he had observed this world from a higher dimension.
Tian Ruan said: "The tighter you hold the sand in your hand, the faster it will leak out."
…
After watching Lu's mother's car drive down the mountain, Mrs. Du also got in her own car to see Du Henbie.
Tian Ruan changed into some light clothes and went to persuade Lu Qiuyan, "Let's go and watch the fun."
Lu Qiuyan: "...That's your eldest brother."
Tian Ruan suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Let's go see Big Brother."
Although Lu Qiuyan was speechless, eating melons is human nature, and he couldn't refuse. He looked at Tian Ruan who brought a large bag of snacks and asked, "Is this your gift for visiting the patient?"
Tian Ruan: "No, we'll eat on the way."
“…”
"Yes, you should bring gifts when visiting a patient." Tian Ruan grabbed four apples at random. "Four apples together mean 'peace and safety', which is a good omen."
Lu Qiuyan: "Yes, I am very stingy."
Tian Ruan grabbed four big red strawberries and said, "This is 'berry luck', which corresponds to his bleeding head."
"…If you have the guts, tell him."
If Du Henbie didn't slap someone in the face, it would mean he had good manners.
Tian Ruan: "That's 'looking for trouble'."
In order to have a good omen, Tian Ruan grabbed four persimmon cakes that Liu Ma had just dried.
Aunt Liu: "This is called 'Persimmon Ruyi'."
Tian Ruan: "This is called 'Autumn with Many Persimmons'."
"…Madam, you'd better not visit the patient."
Tian Ruan grabbed four more cans of Wangzai milk and said, "It's okay. This represents Wangwangwangwangwang. It means a prosperous career, a prosperous love, a prosperous life, and a prosperous chirp."
Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly, "This Wangwang is good."
Lu Qiuyan: “…” What the hell is Wangjiji? Can drinking this milk improve sexual performance?
Tian Ruan thought he was well prepared, but when he saw the two boxes of supplements in the stretched sedan, each box costing at least 10,000 yuan, he fell silent, "Is my gift too shabby?"
Yu Jingmo glanced at the hospital gift in the plastic bag in his hand and said, "What I gave you is the same as what you gave me."
Tian Ruan gave Yu Shang and Lu Qiuyan a can of Wangzai milk each, "Let's eat this, Yu Shang, you'll have a prosperous love life, Lu Qiuyan, a prosperous career."
He gave Yu Jingmo another can, "Mr. Yu, it will bring you good health."
Yu Jingmo looked at the can in his hand, "What's yours?"
Tian Ruan: "I'm the same as you."
Lu Qiuyan: "His can is Wangjiji."
“…”
Yu Jingmo suppressed a smile: "Yeah, that's good."
Tian Ruan glared at Lu Qiuyan, are you still a good daughter-in-law?
Lu Qiuyan drank milk and pretended not to see it.
Tian Ruan drank up all the Wangjiji, closed his eyes and hoped in his heart: Will of the world, please give me Dajiji!
Yu Jingmo looked at the pious look on the face of the young man beside him, as if he guessed what he was thinking. He leaned closer to his thin earlobe and chuckled, "It will grow bigger if you let me touch it more."
Tian Ruan opened his eyes with a start, his pupils were watery and his eyes sparkled as if he was frightened.
Yu Jingmo kissed him on the earlobe.
Tian Ruan seemed to be under a spell of immobilization and fever, unable to move, with only a blush slowly creeping up from her neck to her cheeks. She did not dare to turn around to look at Yu Shang and Lu Qiuyan behind her.
Yu Jingmo sat up straight as if nothing had happened, opened his laptop and checked his emails, so serious as if what just happened was just an illusion.
Slowly, Tian Ruan had the courage to turn around, took out the strawberries and handed them to them, "Want to eat?"
Yu Shang lowered his head and poked at his phone, as if he was very busy: "No need."
Lu Qiuyan stared at Tian Ruan's mouth and realized belatedly: "Your mouth has been red today, was it because you were kissed?"
Tian Ruan: “…………”
