As soon as she returned to Green Forest Villa, Bai Xiaoruo ran straight into the house.
"Ruo Ruo is back... Hey... Why are you in such a hurry?" Before Feng Zhiyuan could call out to Bai Xiaoruo, she had already run upstairs.
I think I just saw that the girl's eyes were red. What happened?
Bai Xiaoruo opened her bedroom door, locked it, and threw herself onto the bed, bursting into tears.
She herself didn't know why she was crying, but she just wanted to cry, and she couldn't stop crying.
It was all her choice. Seeing him with Lu Xinyao, she should have let him be and wished him well, but... why couldn't she do it?
My heart aches so much, it really hurts.
Feng Zhiyuan had just left the door when he heard Bai Xiaoru crying from her room. He knocked on the door and gently coaxed her.
"Little girl, why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will go and beat him up for you!"
Bai Xiaoruo didn't say anything; she was still crying.
"Honey, open the door. Your grandpa is really worried about you like this."
Bai Xiaoru sniffled, choking back tears, "Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'm really fine..."
She continued to cry, each cry louder than the last, as if she wanted to cry out all the moisture from her body.
Feng Zhiyuan sighed and had no choice but to go downstairs.
He called the driver and asked him where he had taken Bai Xiaoruo at noon that day. The driver only gave him the address and didn't know anything else.
"Hmph! What a scoundrel, Xian Laosan! How dare he bully my precious granddaughter! Does he really think the Feng family is a pushover?"
Feng Zhiyuan called Xian Zhengsen and immediately launched into a tirade of abuse. Xian Zhengsen didn't dare to talk back. He knew that his brat was indeed in the wrong, but he never expected that Bai Xiaoruo would cry so hard and for so long.
He repeatedly assured that he would make Xian Mingyu go and apologize to Bai Xiaoruo when he returned, but Feng Zhiyuan simply ignored him.
"No need! Keep an eye on your great-grandson! As long as he stays far away from Ruoruo from now on, don't blame me for being ruthless towards him!"
Feng Zhiyuan hung up the phone, still very angry. Bai Xiaoruo's crying could be heard downstairs.
Just how much injustice has this girl suffered? Even now, so long after her divorce from Xian Mingyu, she hasn't shed a single tear.
......
In the evening, Feng Zhiyuan knocked on Bai Xiaoruo's door again, but the crying was no longer heard inside; perhaps she had cried herself to sleep.
"Ruoruo, dinner's ready, come out quickly."
Bai Xiaoru cried all afternoon, her eyes swollen like walnuts. Exhausted from crying, she lay in bed, not wanting to move at all.
"Ruoruo?"
Feng Zhiyuan knocked on the door again.
"Grandpa, I'm not hungry, you eat first."
Her voice was hoarse from crying, and Feng Zhiyuan could hardly recognize it.
"Oh dear, how can we not eat? If you don't come out to eat, Grandpa won't eat either, and we'll go hungry together!"
Feng Zhiyuan thought that this explanation would get Bai Xiaoruo to open the door and come out to eat, but there was no response from inside.
Feng Zhiyuan was extremely anxious. As soon as he went downstairs, he called Ji Ziqian and asked him to come over and help coax Bai Xiaoruo.
Even if you're really sad, you still need to eat something, otherwise how will you have the energy? What if you ruin your health by starving yourself?
"Knock knock knock—"
A knock on the door.
"Grandpa, I'm really not hungry, you eat it yourself." Bai Xiaoruo repeated the same sentence.
She has no appetite at all and can't eat anything.
"Xiao Ruo, it's me."
That's Ziqian's voice.
Ji Ziqian stood at the door and knocked again. "Xiao Ruo, listen to me, come out and get something to eat, okay? What's wrong with you? If you're unhappy, you can tell me. Don't bear it all by yourself."
When Feng Zhiyuan called him, he didn't explain what happened. He only said that Bai Xiaoruo had locked herself in her room and had been crying for a long time, refusing to eat anything. Ji Ziqian immediately drove over.
"Brother Ziqian, you should go back, I really don't want to eat..."
"Xiao Ruo, could you open the door? Let's go out and play together, I'll take you..."
Bai Xiaoruo interrupted him, "I don't want to see anyone or go anywhere right now. You should go back. I'll get better."
Ji Ziqian lowered his hand from the door, hesitated, and looked helpless.
He was so powerless as her boyfriend.
She didn't want to tell him her secrets, and he couldn't force her.
"Well... I'll head back now, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
There was no longer an echo.
Ji Ziqian had no choice but to leave silently.
Xiao Ruo, is your sadness also related to him?
Sometimes I feel like you're so close to me, and we're really happy together. But sometimes... I feel like you belong to me physically, but your heart... is still with that other man.
***
8 PM.
Hsien Ming-yu changed his shoes and came back from outside.
"Stop right there!" Just as he was about to go upstairs, Xian Zhengsen was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him for a long time.
Hsien Ming-yu did not go any further up.
I bet Grandpa's going to keep nagging him about Bai Xiaoruo's visit today.
"Look at yourself now! What a mess you've made of! I'm telling you, I don't care what your relationship with that Lu Xinyao is, you'd better cut ties with her immediately! You're not allowed to see her again!"
"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore. I can handle my own affairs. You don't need to worry about me!"
