As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.
"Achu, what's going on?"
Gu Ran rushed in furiously, ignoring Zhao Zhenguo's presence, and asked with a worried look on his face.
Zhao Ningchu raised his eyes and looked at her: "Xiao Bai has a cold."
"You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, how could you catch a cold? Is it because you didn't take good care of yourself at the old house?"
"I didn't take him to the old house."
When Gu Ran heard this, she immediately scolded him: "You are so heartless. Xiaobai is still so young, and you can't bear to keep him by your side."
Zhao Ningchu said nothing, and she regretted it now.
Gu Ran continued: "What did the doctor say?"
"The fever gradually subsided and I was discharged from the hospital in two days."
"That's good. You're really unlucky this Chinese New Year."
She had also heard about what happened to the old lady before, and originally thought that after the funeral was over, she would ask Zhao Ningchu to go shopping and have some fun.
Zhao Zhenguo, who was standing aside, heard the conversation between the two and felt a little guilty as he sat aside without speaking.
Gu Ran glanced at Zhao Zhenguo with her peripheral vision, then whispered in Zhao Ningchu's ear.
'Guess who I saw at the door?'
"No need to guess, I know."
"What's going on? Why are the mother and daughter here?"
Zhao Ningchu said truthfully: "I came here to apologize."
Gu Ran was surprised and said: "What apology?"
"Um!"
"What are you apologizing for? Does your father know that he has been cuckolded?"
Zhao Ningchu glanced at Zhao Zhenguo and said calmly: "No, it's Xiaobai's matter."
"Did Xiaobai catch a cold because of that mother and daughter?"
"Um!"
When Gu Ran heard this, she cursed in a low voice.
Then he puffed out: "Let her come in, I want to see what's going on?"
Zhao Ningchu sighed helplessly.
"You, you really just want to watch the fun and don't mind it."
"Hey, let them in, don't worry, who would dare to bully you mother and son?"
Zhao Ningchu smiled helplessly and looked at Zhao Zhenguo: "Dad, didn't you say people are coming? Let them in!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhenguo looked at Gu Ran hesitantly: "That..."
Obviously, Gu Ran didn't want the mother and daughter to come in.
As if she didn't notice it, Gu Ran took off her shoes and sat on the bed playing with her mobile phone.
Zhao Zhenguo said to Zhao Ningchu: "Xiao Chu, please promise dad that you will talk to me if you have anything to say and don't quarrel."
"Don't worry, you're not a child, why are you arguing?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenguo breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned around and walked out. Within a few minutes, three people walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, Chen Sisi hid behind Chen Manxue with a timid look on her face, really treating Zhao Ningchu as a wolf and a tiger.
Seeing her pretentious look, Gu Ran felt disgusted. She rolled her eyes directly at Chen Sisi, and then said angrily: "Achu, you've bullied me, haven't you? Look, you're afraid of being like this."
Chen Sisi heard this and said cautiously: "Sister, she didn't bully me. It was me, it was my fault!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Manxue answered: "Xiao Chu, since your sister came out of prison five years ago, she has become a little timid and reticent. If she really did something wrong,
Just forgive her."
Chen Manxue deliberately talked about what happened five years ago just to make Zhao Ningchu feel guilty.
Unfortunately, this trick didn't work at all in front of Zhao Ningchu.
Zhao Ningchu looked at the mother and daughter and asked, "Did you move in during the past few days when I was away?"
Chen Manxue didn't expect her to ask such a question, so her eyes were a little dodgey and she didn't speak.
Zhao Zhenguo hesitated at the side and said: "Xiaochu, it's like this. You haven't been at home these days, and I'm bored at home alone. I thought that we are all a family anyway and will live together sooner or later, so I let you go in advance.
Your aunt and sister have moved in."
Gu Ran watched the three of them singing in harmony and was about to get angry when Zhao Ningchu reached out to hold her back and signaled her not to be impulsive.
Zhao Ningchu took a deep breath and looked at Chen Sisi: "My dad left Xiaobai under your care. He has a fever and has no food. Where are you?"
Hearing this, Chen Sisi hesitated and said: "I, I was preparing to cook for him, and then the courier came, and I thought about picking up the courier..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ningchu interrupted directly: "Okay, I don't care about this, so why is the floor heating at home not turned on?"
"I, I, I don't know, it's possible that the battery is out..."
As Chen Sisi spoke, her voice became softer.
Obviously feeling guilty.
She turned off the floor heating on purpose.
When she knew she had to take care of Zhao Ningchu's son, she went crazy on the spot. In the end, Chen Manxue persuaded her to consider the overall situation and she compromised.
But she didn't expect Xiaobai to have such a bad temper, beating and kicking her. In order to vent her anger, she turned off the floor heating at night when he was asleep.
"No electricity? I don't know if there is electricity. Chen Sisi, you haven't changed at all. Xiaobai is just a five-year-old child. Why are you so cruel?"
When Zhao Zhenguo saw that something was wrong, he quickly said, "Sisi, please apologize to your sister."
'I don't……'
Before she could say the next words, Chen Manxue shut her up with a look. Finally, Chen Sisi reluctantly said she was sorry.
Gu Ran didn't like seeing these three people in the first place, but when she saw them being so perfunctory, she felt angry.
"You abused your child like this, and you can just say sorry and be done with it?"
'Who abused him.'
Chen Sisi retorted unconvinced.
"What you did is not considered abuse. Does it mean you have to beat and scold him?"
'I don't!'
Zhao Zhenguo, who was on the side, spoke up and said, "Xiaochu, Sisi is your biological sister and Xiaobai's biological aunt. How could she abuse Xiaobai?"
When Gu Ran heard this, she suddenly laughed.
'Sister?'
She turned to look at Zhao Ningchu: "Achu, if I remember correctly, aren't you the only one in your family? Why do cats and dogs come to claim that she is your sister? She cannot be fake and come to fight for your family property."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the three people present suddenly changed.
Everyone has their own secrets and dare not say anything.
Zhao Ningchu looked at Zhao Zhenguo and said with a smile: "Dad, you have to find out about this kind of thing to avoid being accused..."
Before the word "hat" came out, Chen Manxue hurriedly said in a panic: "What are you talking about? I knew you were not so kind to agree to me being with your father.
Even if you don’t approve of me, Sisi is from your Zhao family and your father’s daughter.”
Zhao Ningchu looked at Zhao Zhenguo.
"Dad, are you sure?"
When Zhao Ningchu said this, Zhao Zhenguo immediately hesitated.
Seeing this, Chen Manxue quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, crying and saying: "Zhenguo, since you don't believe it, then I might as well die."
After saying that, she was about to hit the wall on the side, but Zhao Zhenguo grabbed her with quick eyes and quick hands.
"Manxue, it's not that I don't believe you, please don't be impulsive."
Chen Manxue looked at Zhao Zhenguo aggrievedly, with tears falling continuously.
"I can't do anything but die to prove my ambition. Sisi is our daughter."
"Don't cry. I believe you. Sisi is our daughter. I have never doubted this. She looks so much like me. Outsiders can tell at a glance."
When Gu Ran heard this, she burst out laughing.
She leaned close to Zhao Ningchu's ear and whispered: "Xiaochu, is your dad blind? How does this look like?"
"Blind for love."
After saying that, looking at the three people present, Zhao Ningchu's eyes fell on Chen Manxue.
'Auntie, no one said that your daughter is not my father's child. Why do you think so?'
Chen Manxue swallowed even more: "Isn't that what you meant? If you don't welcome us mother and daughter, we'll just leave."
"Welcome, how could you not be welcome?"
When Chen Manxue heard this, she didn't quite believe her ears.
"What did you say?"
"I said of course I welcome you, because when Xiaobai was a kid, he made everyone unhappy, so don't worry."
"Do you agree with me and your dad?"
'I agreed a long time ago, didn't my dad tell you?'
Chen Manxue looked at Zhao Zhenguo.
Zhao Zhenguo had told her a long time ago and also talked about getting a marriage certificate. She didn't believe it at first and thought it was Zhao Zhenguo who deceived her.
So I agreed casually.
I didn't expect it to be true.
Zhao Ningchu saw the shocked expressions on the mother and daughter's faces and sneered in her heart.
She continued: "Didn't I start working in the past two days? You and my dad can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate first."
"Get a certificate?"
'Yes, wouldn't Auntie be willing?'
Chen Manxue looked flustered and quickly explained.
"Why don't you want to? I just felt it was too sudden and I didn't react for a while."
"That's good. Once we get the certificate, we will be a family. You can move in together anytime."
Chen Manxue didn't expect Zhao Ningchu to be so easy to talk to. She didn't know what to say for a moment?
Zhao Zhenguo was so moved that he secretly vowed to maintain this family well.
Chen Sisi looked at Zhao Ningchu's condescending look, and felt angry and itched her teeth.
Just wait and see, as long as she moves there, she will have plenty of time to deal with Zhao Ningchu.
Finally, the three of them left the ward with their own secrets.
As soon as the three of them left, Gu Ran said, "Achu, what do you think, letting that woman and your father get a marriage certificate?"
"I didn't think much about it. Doesn't my dad really want to marry her?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Those two people don't look like good people at first glance."
"I'm not that easy to bully. Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
'You should discuss it with Ji Xiuran. If you live under the same roof with those two women, you might be able to survive being poisoned that day?'
Zhao Ningchu smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid you've watched too many palace dramas."
"I'm telling you the truth. Have you never experienced their viciousness?"
'Don't worry, I have my plan. By the way, how is Su Yang doing recently?'
Speaking of Su Yang, Gu Ran was immediately discouraged.
She sighed heavily and said nothing.
Zhao Ningchu couldn't help but feel worried when he saw her lack of energy.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah Chu, I feel like I can't hold on any longer."
"What happened?"
Gu Ran told Zhao Ningchu what happened during this period. Zhao Ningchu frowned after hearing it.
"Xia Yancheng is also in Su Yang's ward?"
"Well, Su Yang's attitude towards me has always been very cold, and we broke up without saying a word. I never thought about giving up on him and breaking up with him, but with him acting like this, I feel like I really can't hold on any longer.
Sometimes I wonder if Su Yang has never loved me, otherwise why would he be as decisive as Xia Chengan when we broke up."
"Is it possible that he has low self-esteem because of his physical condition?"
Gu Ran shook her head: "I don't know. He is very determined and plans to promise to go abroad for treatment with Xia. I feel like an outsider and I am very embarrassed there."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Ran: "Isn't it too much? Why is he like this?"
Gu Ran sniffed: "Ah Chu, what should I do? I can't hold on any longer. I have no reason to hold on anymore."
Before, I thought that Su Yang was sincere to me, so I thought that even if Su Yang was hurt, she would not abandon him. As long as the two of them were together, life would get better and better, and she would be happy.
But now, Su Yang's indifference and alienation left her unable to find any reason to persist.
Lying in bed at night, she couldn't help but wonder if Su Yang had never loved her.
Zhao Ningchu reached out and hugged Gu Ran, and said softly: "Ranran, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. You still have me. I will be in Yanjing this time and will not leave."
'If you don't leave, I might have to leave.'
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he looked at Gu Ran in shock.
"What? You want to leave?"
"I haven't decided whether to leave yet."
'Where are you going?'
"My whole family is moving to City S. I had no plans to go originally. I thought everyone at home had forgotten my existence. My wife called me two days ago and asked me to go back, just to talk about this matter."
'When did you move out?'
Gu Ran shook her head: "I don't know, it's the same everywhere."
'Ran Ran, if you don't want to leave, just stay.'
"I have no reason!"
Does she know what it means to return to the Gu family again?
Her marriage and her life are all in the hands of the old lady.
Before Su Yang, she ran away from home to resist this injustice, but now, she feels that Su Yang is getting further and further away from him, and she seems to have no excuse to stay.
'Can't I just stay here?'
"Ah Chu, you know I feel really bad when I see Su Yang and Xia Yan do that.
Whenever I think about them getting married and having children, I feel like God is really unfair, why would he treat me like this?
But think about it, in the end it's because he doesn't love me enough. If I love me enough, the problems between us won't be a problem. I only need a firm look from him.
But no, as long as I talk to him, what he says most is, Gu Ran, please don’t come, we break up."
After saying this, Gu Ran's nose felt sour and tears rolled out of her eyes uncontrollably.
Zhao Ningchu quickly took out a tissue and wiped Gu Ran's tears.
Gu Ran continued: "I won't be like what I was five years ago."
"Ranran, I feel sorry for you."
Gu Ran sniffed and smiled: "Fortunately, you are happy, that's enough."
'If you talk to Su Yang again, he might really love you. I do this just because I don't want to implicate you.'
Gu Ran nodded: "Well, my grandma called me today and asked me what I thought about it. I asked her to give me a day."
