Lan Rui took his mother for a few turns on the big straw and then came back.
When the wife of the house came back, she was holding the doll with a gentle smile on her face. Her steps were calm and her temperament was elegant.
Looking at her now, I can't tell that she is a lunatic at all.
However, except for Aunt Ling who came to greet her, no one else dared to approach her.
Even Lan Rui stood up from the sofa and no one walked over.
"Aunt Ling, please accompany my mother back to the room to rest."
Lan Rui saw that his father was still at home and knew that his father had something to say to him.
So I handed my mother over to Aunt Ling. Aunt Ling would sometimes say how her mother was doing, but she still hoped that her mother would get better.
Now in this family, there are only a handful of people who sincerely hope that my mother will get better.
"Lan Rui, I'll take the baby back to the room to rest first. You should go to bed early after your work."
The wife of the house no longer calls her husband to her son, but calls her husband by his first name.
When she called like this, Lan Rui grinned. Just when he was about to respond to her, he heard his son's warm voice saying: "Mom, I understand, you go back and rest quickly. I will take you out to relax tomorrow morning when I am free.
"
Because after the mother went crazy, the Lan family was afraid of losing face and hurting others, so they did not allow the wife of the family to go out.
It can be said that since Lan Qing was lost, the wife of the family has not left the confines of the Lan family for more than 20 years.
Fortunately, the Lan family occupies a very large area, so even if you wander around your own home, you won't be bored.
Lan Rui's smile froze and he watched helplessly as his wife followed Aunt Ling upstairs with the doll in her arms.
This situation is very similar to that of more than 20 years ago...
"Dad, do you want to tell me something?"
Lan Rui came closer and caught the disappointment in his father's eyes. He sneered, the corners of his mouth full of ridicule.
After her mother went crazy, her father and Hei Ruyue had a fierce fight. Now not only the Lan family, but the entire Wangcheng people regard Hei Ruyue as the head wife of the Lan family.
Lan Rui knew that his mother's natal family was in decline. His grandparents and uncles were all dead, leaving only one cousin to support the family, but it was difficult for him to support himself.
Over the years, if it weren't for the support of the Lan family, his cousin and the company would have been carved up by some conspirators long ago.
Therefore, it is impossible for the mother to expect her maternal family to support her.
This is also the reason why Hei Ruyue becomes more and more arrogant, because Hei Ruyue's natal family is powerful.
"Well, let's go to Dad's study."
Lan Rui looked away from his wife and met his son's mocking eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain, but swallowed the words back. In the end, he turned around and left without saying anything.
Lan Rui's study is not inside the house like others. His is built outside, an independent wooden house. There is nothing around the wooden house and it is empty.
Normally, Lan Rui's personal bodyguard guards the study. Without Lan Rui, no one can enter the head of the family's study, which is a forbidden area for the Lan family.
When discussing matters in the master's study, there is no need to worry about being overheard, because there is nowhere to hide and eavesdrop.
Lan Rui chose to listen to the phone on the lawn because he learned this trick from his father.
Along the way, neither father nor son spoke.
Dark night, quiet.
Street lights are like soldiers guarding the city, standing guard loyally and bringing light to the world.
"Master, young master."
When the bodyguard guarding the study saw the father and son approaching, he called out respectfully.
The four bodyguards are Lan Rui's confidants. They are loyal and cannot be bribed by anyone. They only have Lan Rui's words, and not even the head of the old family can instruct them.
However, the four of them still have a very good attitude towards Lan Rui, the young master.
Lan Rui hummed.
He took his son into his study.
Although it is built as a wooden house, it is quite elegantly decorated inside and has all the necessary furniture.
Lan Rui went to pour water first, giving his son and himself a cup of warm water each.
Lan Rui, who did not sit down, walked straight to the desk and picked up the photo frame placed on the desk. The photo inside was a family portrait of their family of four, which was taken more than 20 years ago.
Although the photos are old, the people who protect them are careful, and even after more than 20 years, the photos still look like they were taken new.
Lan Rui and his wife in the photo are both still very young. Each of them is holding a child. It is Lan Rui and his sister.
He and his sister are twins, but the similarity between the two is not exactly the same, but they are about 45% similar. He looks like his father, and his father inherited his grandfather's appearance when he was young.
My sister, my mother said, she looked very much like my grandma, but when she was a few months old, Lan Rui couldn't place the faces of my cute sister and grandma on top of each other.
After all, the old lady is getting older, and no matter how well she takes care of herself, she can't avoid wrinkles on her face.
"Drink a glass of water."
Lan Rui handed one of the glasses of water to his son.
After taking the glass of water from his father, Lan Rui thanked him.
"We are father and son, there is no need to be so polite."
Lan Rui sighed and said, "You are the only child beside Dad. We, father and son, should be closer to each other."
Lan Rui didn't speak, but it could be seen from the slightly curved corners of his mouth that he was sneering.
Why is the relationship between father and son so tense? Isn’t it all caused by the father?
He thinks his mother is crazy, and if he wants to find another woman to accompany him to socialize, he should at least give his mother an explanation, right?
Divorce is possible.
Instead of cuckolding his mother one after another and bringing Hei Ruyue home, that woman regarded herself as the wife of the householder and often bullied his mother when he was not at home.
"Dad, tell me what you want to say."
Lan Rui finally spoke.
His straightforward words made Lan Rui choke.
"Your sister...are you still looking for her?"
Lan Rui said nothing, waiting for his father to continue.
"After so many years, I still don't know whether she is alive or dead. No one is seen when she is alive, and no body is seen when she is dead. The person named Zhuang has been reincarnated after death."
Mentioning the person named Zhuang, Lan Rui had hatred in his eyes.
It was that woman who caused his wife to be separated.
"She has been missing for more than 20 years. If she is picked up by someone who doesn't know her life experience, even if science is advanced now, trying to find her is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Dad, do you want me to give up searching?"
After Lan Rui was silent, he said: "Dad thinks that if we continue to search, if she is still alive, it will most likely bring danger to her."
"Only when we give up will they feel that there is no threat, and your sister can live well somewhere."
"She has a close relationship with us. No matter where she is alive, let's not disturb her life."
Lan Rui asked with a dark face, "Did Hei Ruyue persuade Dad to give up?"
Hei Ruyue only wanted to marry and become the wife of the housekeeper, and she would also have children in the future. Naturally, she did not want all of Lan Rui's property to be given to his first wife's children.
Lan Rui is still the young master now. When she gets married and gives birth to a son, she will no longer let Lan Rui be the young master.
