Early in the morning, Wang Xiuxiu met Xu Ruantang at the gate of the compound.
Wang Xiuxiu handed Xu Ruantang a pile of things, "These were given to me by President Huan."
Xu Ruantang took a look; it mainly contained money and a letter of introduction.
Although it's now open, Huan Yuanliang arranged a hotel for people in Shenzhen, so there's no need for a letter of introduction.
But it's always good to have this thing with you.
"Okay, please thank President Huan for me."
Wang Xiuxiu casually asked, "Did your family tell you to leave?"
There are no secrets in the compound. The news that Xu Ruantang's family had come to visit had already spread far and wide after Cheng Dan brought them into the compound last time.
Recently, the news that they were hospitalized has started circulating again, and people are gossiping about it again, I don't know who said it.
The main problem was that Chen Ji always went to the hospital, and after searching the entire compound, he couldn't find another son-in-law who was more diligent than him.
Immediately, some people envied, some were jealous, and a whole host of pleasant and unpleasant words were circulated.
Wang Xiuxiu had encountered those talkative people and tried to explain herself several times.
Later, it was found to be completely useless; those people only wanted to believe what they wanted to believe, so they gave up.
Xu Ruantang pursed her lips, "I already went home yesterday."
"Really?" Wang Xiuxiu's eyes lit up. "They're finally gone, but it's a miracle they didn't cause any trouble."
Wang Xiuxiu had witnessed firsthand the tyranny of Xu's mother and father, and knew very well that such people would not willingly give up such good conditions in the capital.
Xu Ruantang lowered her eyes, "Chen Jisong sent him away."
She stayed in her downstairs room yesterday, supposedly to sleep, but she couldn't possibly fall asleep.
While lying down, she thought about it and realized that Chen Ji must have already known she was going to make a move when he asked her what Xu Sheng had said during dinner the day before.
He first asked her in a calm and collected manner, testing her even before she mentioned the conditions Xu Sheng had stated.
So he probably knew she hadn't slept all night, which is why he coaxed her to sleep a little longer in the early morning.
He deliberately delayed so that he could see the Xu family off himself.
Chen Ji must have felt that she would do something outrageous.
So he simply cut off the source of the problem.
"I see, no wonder they didn't make a scene." Wang Xiuxiu nodded.
The sound of a car approaching from afar interrupted their conversation.
“President Huan, you came in person?” Wang Xiuxiu stepped forward.
Huan Yuanliang sat in the passenger seat. "It's on the way, get in."
Wang Xiuxiu patted Xu Ruantang's hand and instructed, "Safety first. Bring me some local specialties when you come back."
Xu Ruantang smiled and asked, "Sister Xiuxiu, what are some local specialties of Shenzhen?"
"Even prying back a single floor tile will do; that's where every inch of land is truly precious!"
After exchanging a few banter, Xu Ruantang got into the car.
The car started quickly, and Xu Ruantang then noticed that Huan Molin was also sitting in the back seat.
"Where's your luggage?" Huan Yuanliang turned around from the passenger seat and asked with some confusion.
Xu Ruantang pursed her lips. "No, we'll buy whatever we need when we get there."
Actually, she didn't want to face Chen Ji for the time being.
Her clothes were all upstairs. The thought of going upstairs and seeing her packing clothes would inevitably lead to a conversation between them.
Xu Ruantang instinctively wanted to escape.
She curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile. Chen Ji was right after all; she was a coward who ran away at the first sign of trouble.
Over here, Wang Xiuxiu watched the car drive away, then turned around and went back to the compound.
She hadn't taken two steps when a tall, slender man approached her. His usually expressionless face was now filled with tension in his eyes.
"Commander Chen, heading to the troops?" Wang Xiuxiu greeted Chen Ji.
Chen Ji stopped abruptly. "Ruan Ruan is gone?"
Wang Xiuxiu nodded, "She just left. President Huan gave her a ride home."
She looked at Chen Ji suspiciously, "What's wrong? Did she forget something?"
The light in Chen Ji's eyes dimmed instantly, and his hands hanging at his sides tightened slightly.
"When are you coming back?" Chen Ji's voice was cold and deep.
If Wang Xiuxiu still couldn't see it by this point, she wouldn't be Wang Xiuxiu anymore.
No wonder Xu Ruantang looked so strange when she mentioned Chen Ji.
It seems these two had a fight!
Wang Xiuxiu thought for a moment and replied, "Not necessarily. Learning depends on the progress. You can't come back without learning anything. It might take half a month, or it might take two or three months."
Actually, it will take at most half a month.
Wang Xiuxiu said that on purpose.
In any argument, someone has to back down first. If it takes a long time, it's no wonder Chen Ji is anxious.
His beautiful wife is never home; he's going crazy.
Wang Xiuxiu never imagined that she would have such a mishap.
Originally, it was thought that Chen Ji would chase after her after hearing this, so that they could catch up with her before Xu Ruantang boarded the train.
But he simply nodded and turned to go back to the compound.
Huan Yuanliang and Huan Molin escorted Xu Ruantang all the way to the train station.
"Call the store when you get there to let them know you're safe. The contact person's address and the store's phone number are in the information Manager Wang gave you."
The train station was bustling with people. Huan Yuanliang was afraid that Huan Molin would run away, so he hugged him and gave Xu Ruantang instructions word by word.
Although she was a business partner, she was still quite young, and Huan Yuanliang felt it was necessary to give her some advice.
Xu Ruantang nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand, thank you."
"Sister, have a safe journey." Huan Molin leaned closer to Xu Ruantang and waved to her.
Xu Ruantang was already used to it. This child probably grew up abroad and was used to the cheek kiss when they parted.
She leaned in anyway, and Huan Molin gently kissed her cheek.
Goodbye, go back now!
Xu Ruantang entered the train station without looking back.
On the train, Xu Ruantang brought nothing but her small personal bag.
She basically ate and slept, then ate again after waking up.
The train arrived in Shenzhen, and it was already dark.
The first thing she did after entering the hotel was to borrow a phone and make two calls to Huan Yuanliang and Dayuan.
Wang Xiuxiu answered the phone at the gatehouse in the compound, and she asked them why they were arguing.
Xu Ruantang made an excuse that the phone bill was too expensive, saying it wasn't a big deal, and then hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiuxiu still went to tell Chen Ji.
Upon learning that she had arrived safely, Chen Ji simply grunted in response without saying anything else.
Xu Ruantang slept all day on the train, and with the unfamiliar environment, she couldn't fall asleep.
She knew that Chen Ji did that because he was afraid she would go too far; after all, the Xu family was now her nominal maternal family.
Even knowing his predicament, Xu Ruantang was still very angry.
She was just one step away; just one step away from letting that girl rest in peace.
None of the Xu family members are innocent! Why should that girl have to suffer so much and end her life by soaking in icy water?
How can they choose to be parents, yet disregard life and treat human life as worthless?
If people like that can live peacefully, then what justice is there in this world?
That's why she was so angry.
Chen Jiming knew the resentment in her heart, but still intervened to stop her.
