Chapter 43
Chapter 43
Ruan Mei and grandma cried together, but before they finished crying, grandma said again:
"It's not over yet."
Later, the grandmother who brought Ruan Mei back to her hometown was called to the police station one day.
Showing some evidence, the police told her:
"In the case of Ruan Xiaoqian's disappearance, although there are no clues so far, we have found a perpetrator."
It was a top male A who was involved in the underworld and had a huge influence in the local area.
After Ruan Xiaoqian had her first miscarriage, she ran away from home. Not long after she walked out of the house, she was discovered by the top man A. He snatched Ruan Xiaoqian back home, imprisoned her in the bathroom of his high-rise, and tortured her every day.
For two whole months, that man A trampled on Ruan Xiaoqian like a rag, until one day he forgot to close the door and Ruan Xiaoqian escaped, then ran back home and gave birth to that man A's child.
Now, after 12 years, the police have been undercover for many years and followed the vines to catch this male A and his criminal group. Only then did they find out the whereabouts of Ruan Xiaoqian after she disappeared for the first time.
Therefore, this man A is Ruan Mei's real biological father.
Through the bars, grandma saw the man, with a crew-cut beard and unshaven eyes, his eyes were as vicious as poison.
The more angry and painful the grandma was, the more the man laughed.
In the end, due to the superposition of multiple crimes, the circumstances were extremely serious, and the man A was sentenced to death a year later.
After adding these, grandma almost collapsed, leaning on the sofa and silently shedding turbid tears.
Ruan Mei really couldn't cry anymore, her voice was extremely hoarse, and she carefully picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.
The cold water entered her throat and almost cut her throat like a knife.
Fang Zhishui listened to such a thrilling story, his eyes were full of depression and pain for a while.
Grandma finally said:
"Maybe, she was also confused that day, thinking that her home was also a cage..."
Ruan Mei sat blankly, and Fang Zhishui sat beside her, putting his arms around her shoulders.
Ruan Mei could only lean against Fang Zhishui, her eyes were still wide open, staring at the void in front of her.
Grandma closed her eyes, and finally confessed wearily:
"It's all my fault... It's my fault... If I could find out what's wrong with her earlier, that would be great..."
There was no other sound in the room except grandma's broken murmur.
Ruan Meiyuan opened his eyes, stared at the void for a while, and didn't know what he was thinking, and said in a low voice:
"So, did your mother cheat or did you get married..."
Fang Zhishui's answer is very simple:
"I am older than you."
Oh, that is, cheating.
Ruan Mei raised her eyes and looked at Fang Zhishui. She felt very sad, and it was enough to be immersed in the moment just now. Now she suddenly thought that Fang Zhishui, who found out that her mother was cheating, must be in a very complicated mood.
"Are you ok?"
Ruan Mei's eyes were washed with water, they looked soft red, and her voice was nasal when she asked.
"I'm fine, she's the kind of person It's not worth my sadness."
Fang Zhishui looked down at Ruan Mei with sadness in his expression:
"I'm sorry about your mother..."
"Ah."
Ruan Mei nodded slightly, and turned to look at the sofa. Grandma had already sat up, her face was haggard, her fingers were trembling, and she tried to stand up twice, but she couldn't.
Ruan Mei stood up to help grandma, helped her into the bedroom, and said in grandma's ear:
"Grandma, I don't blame you, but those bad guys. You raised me and you are my hero, so you don't have to blame yourself."
Grandma closed her eyes, lay down and fell asleep, and she didn't know if she heard or not.
Ruan Mei gently closed the bedroom door, walked out, and touched her eyes again.
When she looked inside the house, there were paper towels for wiping tears thrown all over the floor, almost burying Fang Zhishui in it.
"what time is it now?"
"It's past eleven."
"Then, do you want to stay at my house tonight?"
"No, I'll just go home."
Fang Zhishui picked up the helmet hanging on the chair, walked two steps forward, and turned his head reluctantly.
Ruan Mei's eyes were sad, with stubbornness and hatred buried in her eyes, she silently looked at her back, neither speaking nor moving.
"How about I stay with you, if you need?"
Fang Zhishui said suddenly.
However, Ruan Mei didn't agree, she just shook her head wearily:
"No, I want to be alone tonight."
Fang Zhishui turned his head and walked forward, the hand holding the helmet hanging by his side, and he walked very fast.
Ruan Mei watched Fang Zhishui's slender back walk to the door with a blank expression on her face. She was already exhausted, as if she had run a marathon of thousands of kilometers.
Every hair, every cell is tired, and even resentment has no strength.
Fang Zhishui opened the door, looked back with the helmet in his hand, and said softly:
"Don't think about it, sleep well at night."
Ruan Mei nodded blankly, a feeling of reluctance suddenly surged in her heart, but she couldn't move.
Fang Zhishui sighed softly, closed the door, and footsteps came downstairs.
Ruan Mei stood like this in the living room, feeling that the whole world was empty and sparse.
Ruan Mei looked out the window, imagining how happy Ruan Xiaoqian must have been when she saw Fang Junzhi that day.
She probably thought that her savior had finally arrived, but she never thought that there was no savior in this world.
She couldn't imagine Ruan Xiaoqian's mood, she just shed tears for the other party, and felt the other party's hatred and heartache.
Ruan Mei was outside the window at this time, and suddenly saw Fang Zhishui's back leaving.The other party was dressed in black, and seemed to blend into the night, but it was so dazzling, he was the only moving shadow in the whole world.
Ruan Mei stared fixedly at the shadow, her tears gradually stopped.
Ruan Mei went back to bed and lay down, feeling uncomfortable in her head, but she couldn't tell where it hurt, and finally fell asleep with such discomfort.
The next day, Ruan Mei went to school as usual, seemingly no different from usual.
But the classmates all found that Ruan Mei's expression was different from usual today, she seemed particularly... indifferent.
This expression is almost never seen on Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei is known as the most gentle top-level A in the city. , and never seemed indifferent.
She will smile wryly, offer persuasion diligently, frown and make faces like a little girl, but she will never be indifferent.
"What's the matter... Is she in a bad mood today?"
"Is it my illusion or, she really looks a little pitiful, I want to go up and hug her!"
"Come on, you want to fart, if you can hug me, I will go in the morning."
Ruan Mei sat in front of her desk. There was a pink wallpaper on her desk before, but she tore off the wallpaper because it didn't match the style of the class. Now the desk is still in its original color.
She didn't even look at the few gifts on the table, and directly swept everything into the trash can.
Those several beautifully packaged, large and small gifts ended their short lives before they could see the light of day.
With a blank expression on her face, Ruan Mei reached into the belly of the table and took out a large snowflake-like love letter.
Usually, as a top-level A, surrounded by nymphomaniacs in the school, Ruan Mei would open every love letter and carefully store it. Although she would not reply to the letter, it would make the person who sent the love letter feel at ease and feel that she was cherished.
But today, Ruan Mei threw all those little pink and blue envelopes exuding various fragrances into the trash can.
Several envelopes were opened, and the petals in the letters fell into the trash can, like a girl's shattered dream.
After Ruan Mei dealt with these things, she took out her book and put it on the table, buried her head in the book, and did not hear the voice of the whole class whispering about her.
Chu Wanji watched Ruan Mei's actions the whole time. She was in a very complicated mood, because among the love letters and gifts today, she gave one.
She specially picked Ruan Mei's favorite pink color, painted strawberries on the envelope with colored pens, and wrapped the gift with a strawberry ribbon, putting it in the most conspicuous position.
Chu Wanji blushed waiting for Ruan Mei to arrive, imagining that after Ruan Mei finished reading these things, she would pat himself on the shoulder with a wry smile and helplessly, saying:
"Squad leader, don't you make such jokes with me?"
Before Chu Wanji could figure out how to answer, he saw Ruan Mei's ruthless hands throwing everything into the trash can.
Chu Wanji couldn't help it, and turned to ask Ruan Mei:
"Ruan Mei, what's wrong with you today? Are you in a bad mood? Can you tell me anything?"
Ruan Mei raised her head very slowly, and glanced at Chu Wanji.Those eyes were deep and dark, without brilliance, and Chu Wanji was startled when he saw it.
"I'm fine, let's study."
After saying this, Ruan Mei buried herself in her studies again.
Half the morning of this study passed, and during the big class break, Fang Zhishui came over and stood beside Ruan Mei's seat, worried:
"Sister, do you... want to go for a walk together?"
Ruan Mei's always cold face became complicated when she saw Fang Zhishui.
Rationally speaking, she knew that Fang Zhishui was on the same front as herself, and she also resisted and hated Fang Junzhi.
But emotionally... When Ruan Mei saw Fang Zhishui's face, she would think of Fang Junzhi's face, which was half or six points similar to Fang Zhishui.
This was not what Fang Zhishui wanted, and it had nothing to do with Fang Zhishui, but the more she thought about it, the more Ruan Mei didn't know how to face Fang Zhishui.
She couldn't afford any overly complicated thoughts now, she was just pure and didn't want to see that person.
She waved her hand and said softly:
"No thanks. I want to be by myself for a while."
Sure enough, Fang Zhishui went back. Ruan Mei sat at the table, opened the book, and began to read the textbook for the next class.
After one day, Ruan Mei wanted to pack her things and go to work, but after thinking about it, she slowed down again.
She no longer has to go to work...
Ruan Mei packed her things, raised her head while she was packing, habitually looked in Fang Zhishui's direction, and found that the other party was also looking at her, and it was you who were deeply worried and longing.
Ruan Mei packed up her things and carried her schoolbag. When she passed by Fang Zhishui, she turned to look at Fang Zhishui and said in a low voice:
"Do you want to go for a walk together?"
An expression of surprise appeared on Fang Zhishui's face. She immediately packed her schoolbag and followed Ruan Mei out.
"Where are you going?" Ruan Mei asked.
"Houshan, the old place, it's quite cool." Fang Zhishui replied.
The two walked out of the classroom and down the stairs. Just as they were going to the back hill, they suddenly saw a slender and tall figure standing at the school gate.
Ruan Mei's originally relaxed expression became solemn when she saw this figure.
Fang Zhishui also frowned, the last thing she wanted to see now was this person, her mother A, Fang Junzhi.
But this person actually chased him into the school, and the target was undoubtedly not himself, but Ruan Mei beside him.
Fang Zhishui wanted to call Ruan Mei to stop, but saw Ruan Mei walking towards the school gate, her face was as cold as snow, expressionless.
She could even feel that the top-level A pheromone in Ruan Mei's body was constantly surging, like boiling sea water, continuously transpiring and radiating to the surroundings, gradually dyeing the whole world with the fragrance of strawberries.
Fang Zhishui's face turned red. She had no choice but to quickly go back to the corner, took out the inhibitor, and applied it to herself. Only then did she catch up to the school gate in a few steps.
Ruan Mei and Fang Junzhi were already standing face to face on the school path.
People coming and going, whether intentionally or not, their eyes always fall on two people.
Fang Junzhi lowered his head and forced a smile to himself:
"How was your study today?"
Ruan Mei raised her face. When she saw this person today, her mood was completely different from yesterday.
If yesterday, she was full of disgust for this person, then today, she hates him almost to the bone.
Ruan Mei's adrenaline was rushing, she clenched her fists tightly, and was evaluating which direction she should punch in order to kill this woman in one fell swoop.
She seemed expressionless, but in fact, she had rehearsed Fang Junzhi's death many times in her heart, and she didn't even hear what the other party said clearly, and she didn't intend to answer.
The only pity is that Ruan Mei doesn't have a sharp weapon on her body now...
Her mind is full of crazy ideas, as if someone kept shouting in her ear:
"Kill her!"
Ruan Mei's eyes were bloodshot, she fell into a state of frenzy, panting, looked up at Fang Junzhi, and didn't speak.
Like a beast, ready to go.
And at this moment, Fang Zhishui patted Ruan Mei's shoulder with one hand, and gently pressed Ruan Mei.
Suddenly, Ruan Mei turned back into a human being again, and those radical thoughts in her mind disappeared temporarily. She turned her head and looked around, thinking suspiciously: Why didn't I see it just now? There are so many people here, if I fight with Fang Junzhi, The result must have been persuaded.
How to retaliate against Fang Junzhi seems to have a long-term plan... The state I was in just now really seemed to be insane, how could it be like this?
Is this the so-called mental hidden danger of top A?
Fang Zhishui looked up at Fang Junzhi:
"What are you doing here?"
The relationship between Fang Junzhi and Fang Zhishui has been slightly repaired now. Looking at her two children, two excellent top A's, she couldn't help showing a look of relief:
"Zhishui, I didn't have time to tell you before, but you and Ruan Mei are brothers. Both of you are my children."
Fang Zhishui's face is dull:
"I've heard Ruan Mei say it, but Ruan Mei said it herself, she's not your child."
Fang Junzhi smiled and shook his head:
"The two of you are still young and don't understand those things back then. Ruan Mei is also a top A, she must be my child, otherwise how could she be so like me? Zhishui, seeing that you have such a good relationship with your brother, I It’s also quite reassuring.”
After hearing Fang Junzhi's words clearly, Ruan Mei sneered:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you the only top A in the world? Are you the only one with the best breed? I don't think so. Maybe my mother has an affair with you, but you don't have any evidence to prove it. I am you. child, and I have proof that I am not."
Ruan Mei spoke directly, and told the second half of the story that grandma told yesterday.
She is not afraid of being heard, it doesn't matter, this is a woman's miserable life, and the person who is ashamed is Fang Junzhi in front of her.
After talking about Ruan Xiaoqian, Ruan Mei said calmly:
"You, cheated in marriage, made my mother's belly bigger, and my mother completely ignored her after she had a miscarriage and disappeared. You are not human at all, you are rubbish."
Fang Junzhi was also a little shocked when she heard it. She hadn't paid attention to Ruan Xiaoqian's affairs before, and she didn't know that there were so many things behind.
But she changed her mind:
"Is this a story your grandma made up to coax you? I admit that I did some things back then. I didn't take care of your mother in time. It was my negligence. So now I'm here to make up for you?"
Fang Junzhi thought she was very tolerant. She looked at the short girl in front of her who looked exactly like Ruan Xiaoqian, and said softly:
"I'm willing to let go of the past, not pursue your real identity, or even do a paternity test, and welcome you back to Fang's house, admit you as my child, and give you the right to inherit in the future. This is also partly made up for Ruan Xiaoqian, isn't it? She definitely wants you to follow me and enjoy the glory and wealth, right?"
As soon as these words were said, Ruan Mei felt another burst of anger, which rushed straight to her forehead, causing her Tianling Gai to ache, and her mind lost her mind again.
She lunged forward and kicked Fang Junzhi directly in the leg.
Fang Junzhi staggered a bit, unbelievable, and stared at Ruan Mei:
"You child, why are you so unreasonable?"
The blow that Ruan Mei exploded with all her strength, if it was an ordinary person, would have flew about 10 meters away by now, but it only made Fang Junzhi shake her body...
Ruan Mei wanted to fight again, when suddenly she felt a cold hand gently touching the back of her neck.
Then, Ruan Mei couldn't hear the surrounding voices.
Like some kind of wonderful resonance, she seemed to be able to feel the heartbeat of the other party, calm and slow, and gradually brought her own heart, and began to calm down.
For a moment, the world is black and white, silent.But then, Ruan Mei saw the colorful world again, and heard the singing of birds, the noise of vehicles, and the breathing of the people behind her.
It was Fang Zhishui, Fang Zhishui was always behind her, helping her calmly face this.
"Father, go back, don't come here again, Ruan Mei hates you very much, she won't promise you."
Fang Zhishui raised his voice and said to the other side.
This is the first time she has called Fang Junzhi "Father" since she came home for so long, and she always called "Hi" before.
Fang Junzhi looked at Ruan Mei, and then at Fang Zhishui who was guarding Ruan Mei, her expression inevitably complicated.
She finally raised her chin haughtily:
"You are still young, and I can't figure out some things, and I understand. I will give you a chance, but remember, if I don't get you, I will destroy you."
Ruan's eyebrows were about to burst, and he wanted to rush up to hit someone, but Fang Junzhi gently dodged it.
Fang Junzhi just pressed down on the top of Ruan Mei's head, and Ruan Mei could no longer move.
Fang Zhishui watched Fang Junzhi walk out of the school gate, got into the luxury car and left, and immediately went over to touch Ruan Mei's cheek:
"Are you okay? I see that you were not in the right state just now. What happened?"
Touched by Fang Zhishui, Ruan Mei regained consciousness again. She looked at the position where Fang Junzhi left, and threw Fang Zhishui away a little angrily:
"Why did you call her father just now? Do you still want to be her good son?"
Fang Zhishui quietly put Ruan Mei's hand in his palm, and said softly:
"She's still useful, and it hasn't reached the day when I can really resist. At that time, I will let her be ruined and completely collapsed."
Ruan Mei turned to look at Fang Zhishui, saw the sternness in the other's eyes, and suddenly felt that she looked so strange.
But it's cool, and she loves it.
"I'll still protect you, don't worry, I won't let you suffer a little bit."
Fang Zhishui's eyes moved from outside the school gate to Ruan Mei's face, and his eyes quickly became gentle.
She pinched Ruan Mei's earlobe and smiled.
Ruan Mei touched her pinched ear, and even though she was in a complicated mood, she still smiled.
She knew that no one was invincible, and one day she would avenge Ruan Xiaoqian.For this, she has to work hard now.
