Lu Chen smiled softly, raised his hand to rub Su Ruoli's hair, and said, "Okay, okay! Don't think about it, let's go."
Su Ruoli nodded and walked in front. Lu Chen lagged behind and looked at Su Ruoli's back.
He shook his head and followed Su Ruoli's pace.
"Lu Chen, you..." Su Ruoli stopped, bit her lip, and her eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and entanglement.
She stared into Lu Chen's eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.
Lu Chen noticed Su Ruoli's abnormality, so he stopped and turned to face her.
He raised his hand, gently rubbed Su Ruoli's hair, and said softly: "What's wrong? Xiao Li'er, tell me if you have anything, don't keep it in your heart. No matter what happens, I will always be with you."
Su Ruoli felt the warmth between Lu Chen's fingers, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her eyes were still flickering, as if she was hesitating whether to tell Lu Chen her true thoughts.
Seeing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Ruoli, what happened? I'm worried about you."
He took Su Ruoli's hand and held it tightly in his own, as if he wanted to give her strength and comfort in this way.
After some struggle, she finally decided to confess everything to Lu Chen and be mentally prepared to accept any outcome, even if Lu Chen left her.
So she mustered up the courage to look up and meet Lu Chen's gaze, staring at him firmly before slowly telling him the secret hidden in her heart...
"I'm not alone, I still have grandparents."
Lu Chen asked, "Is that the Grandma Jian that Zhang Sitong mentioned?"
Su Ruoli nodded.
"You scared me to death, I thought it was something else! Having relatives is a great thing!" Lu Chen patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a hint of relief in his eyes, as if he had just experienced a false alarm.
Then he looked at the other person with a smile, as if he was genuinely happy about the news.
Su Ruoli said in embarrassment, "Well! It's because they chose the wrong person, and it's also because my mother chose the wrong person. They donated all their property to the country, but in the end they ended up living in a cowshed."
Su Ruoli told Lu Chen everything about her family from the beginning, which made Lu Chen feel distressed.
Lu Chen held Su Ruoli's hand and comforted her, "Don't be sad! The darkness will always pass, and dawn is just around the corner. We must look forward." Lu Chen's eyes were full of concern.
"Thank you, Lu Chen." Su Ruoli said sincerely.
"Then where are your father and your stepmother... uh, no, that Su... Shiqiang and Wang Aifang now?" Lu Chen asked. Given Su Ruoli's personality, he should at least send them in.
"I don't know either..." Su Ruoli lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, maybe... they should... be reformed on the farm. I sent their embezzled account books to the Public Security Bureau."
"Yes, that's what we should do. It's called giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Let them also feel the feeling of being reported." Lu Chen said indignantly.
"But I think I'm still too merciful. They should live a life worse than death." Su Ruoli said with gritted teeth.
There was a hint of coldness and determination in her eyes, as if these people had committed an unforgivable crime against her.
She clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails deep into her palms, as if this was the only way to calm her heart a little. However, the anger in her heart still burned, and she couldn't let it go.
Thinking of those who had hurt her, Su Ruoli's heart was filled with resentment and pain.
Their actions caused her to suffer too much, but she always chose to be tolerant and forgive.
Judging from the last time she was followed by Zhang Haotian, her kindness did not get the due rewards, but instead made those people hurt her even more.
"From now on, I will never be soft-hearted to anyone!" Su Ruoli swore secretly.
She decided to make those who had hurt her pay the price and let them feel what it was like to live a life worse than death.
She wants to protect herself in her own way and no longer give others the opportunity to hurt her easily.
"Okay, okay! Don't be sad! I will never let you get hurt again." Looking at Su Ruoli's appearance, Lu Chen could only feel distressed.
Su Ruoli sighed deeply and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Take it slow. When she can move freely, she will deal with those people one by one."
"Let's go, let's go find the captain." Su Ruoli said and walked forward.
Lu Chen caught up with her, and the two continued to walk side by side, but Lu Chen's mind was not on walking, but on how to find those who had bullied Su Ruoli.
During this holiday, he would find someone to investigate. Xiao Lier, who dared to bully him, must want to die.
"Xiao Li'er, can I meet my grandma and the others?" Lu Chen asked nervously.
"Then I'll go ask tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Lu Chen said excitedly.
Hehe! I'm one step closer to catching my wife.
"Tell me, if your family knew about my situation, would they disagree with us being together?" Su Ruoli said after thinking for a while.
"Don't worry, my family will agree. Grandpa and the others were also harmed by villains. Sooner or later, the country will clear their name." Lu Chen took the opportunity to hold Su Ruoli's hand and interlocked their fingers.
"Don't think about it anymore. Things will work out in the end." Su Ruoli shook her head and looked at the two people's tightly clasped hands with a faint smile on her lips.
When Lu Chen saw Su Ruoli smile, he also smiled widely.
Seeing Su Ruoli finally smile, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he didn't know what to do.
After everything was said, Su Ruoli felt a lot more relaxed, especially when she saw Lu Chen's attitude, which made her feel more at ease.
The two chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the captain's house.
Su Ruoli went forward and knocked on the door, and it was Wang Yuyun who opened the door.
Wang Yuyun, pregnant, opened the door and saw Su Ruoli. She asked with concern, "Ruoli, you're back. Is your partner okay?"
"It's okay, Sister Yuyun, you are about to give birth, right?" Su Ruoli asked.
"It's almost here, in these few days." Wang Yuyun touched her belly with a gentle look on her face.
"Sister Yuyun, is Uncle Guofeng here?" Su Ruoli asked. "Oh, by the way, this is for you." Su Ruoli handed the brown sugar in her hand to Wang Yuyun.
"My father-in-law went to Liu Kaifan's house for dinner. Their new house has been built and they are warming up the house today." Wang Yuyun said as she pushed the things Su Ruoli handed over back into Su Ruoli's arms.
"Look at you, why are you so polite? You always come here to take something. Take it back quickly."
"Sister Yuyun, just take it. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to come next time." Su Ruoli stuffed the thing back into Wang Yuyun's hand.
