Ruan Jingjie and Bai Yu lowered their heads and remained silent.
”We can't just let this matter go. At this age, only Luo Yizhou and her are suitable.” His selection of Luo Yizhou for the blind date had also been considered by many people. No matter how one looked at it, Luo Yizhou was the most suitable candidate, ”Bai Yu, go and persuade Xiao Rou again so that they can reconcile once more. If that really doesn't work, I'll go and tell Elder Luo about it. ”
”But dad, I really don't like Luo Yizhou …” Bai Yu's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
”We can't leave the marriage to her!” Elder Ruan was furious. He looked at Ruan Qingdie who was sitting on the sofa and swinging her hair, ”Look at your sister, if she had listened to my arrangements back then, would she be like this now?”
”Dad!” Ruan Qingdie was a little displeased, she did not say a word, and in the end, the flames of war burned onto her, ”Don't always be like this, talk about my past every day!”
Being retorted against in front of his daughter, Elder Ruan was very angry, ”Can't you say what you have done yourself? ”If you had listened to me back then, you would have married …”
”That was so many years ago. Are you going to keep talking about it, Dad?” Every time he saw his father, he would mention the past. These scars had been revealed time and time again before they were completely healed, and they always made her feel very injured and embarrassed.
”What do you mean?” Elder Ruan was furious.
Seeing that the atmosphere between Elder Ruan and Ruan Qingdie had become even more tense, Bai Yu pulled at the corner of her husband's clothes, but Ruan Jingjie didn't say anything and just sat there. Seeing that Elder Ruan's expression was turning uglier and uglier, Ruan Qingdie also sat there huffily. Bai Yu smiled and chimed in, ”Dad, don't be angry anymore, drink some water.” She poured a full cup of tea and passed it to Elder Ruan.
Someone brought him a step. Elder Ruan did not continue the conversation and sat on the sofa.
Bai Yu passed Ruan Qingdie a cup of tea, ”Sis, you should drink some tea too.”
Ruan Qingdie extended her hand out to receive it.
”Dad, we know that everything you do is for our own good, but since you're so old, you have your own thoughts …” Bai Yu stuttered.
”No matter what idea she has, it won't do! Can I still harm her? I've crossed more bridges than she has ever walked. ” When Elder Ruan saw that his son and daughter did not listen to him, he became even angrier. ”How do you usually educate your children? I raised her so willfully. ”
Ruan Qingdie drank a mouthful of water and tousled her hair, as if she did not hear anything.
Elder Ruan thought about it and still felt that it wasn't right, ”You were just disobedient too, didn't I tell you before that we were going to make Fu Yi date with the girl from Zhou Family? What do you mean by bringing Alice back? ”
”Alice has already returned to Australia. Why are you bringing her up now?” The reason she brought Alice back was to ask Elder Ruan to dispel the thought of introducing him to Fu Yi. However, she never expected that not only would Fu Yi not appreciate it, he would directly say that he already had a girlfriend in front of a whole family.
”I don't care how Yi'er plays outside. But he must marry the Zhou Family girl. ” Elder Ruan was very sure. Last time when Fu Yi brought Chu Mengyao over, he happened to meet Secretary Zhou. For this matter, he had spent a great deal of effort to explain everything to the Secretary Zhou.
”They haven't even seen each other before. Isn't it too early to say that they're getting married?” Ruan Qingdie's stomach was filled with anger, so naturally, her tone would not sound good, ”Besides, Fu Yi is old now, so he has his own thoughts.”
She deliberately said, ”Didn't you also hear from Yi'er that he already has a girlfriend?” She just wanted to anger the Elder Ruan.
”Are you trying to piss me off!” Elder Ruan pointed at Ruan Qingdie's nose and scolded him.
The atmosphere in the study room was very tense. Elder Ruan had always been that domineering, his son was weak and his daughter always disagreed with him. Every family gathering, either cold or quarreling, often has a scene of unhappiness and separation.
Fu Yi tried hard for a long time, but his phone was still damaged. Luckily his memory was good enough to remember Chu Mengyao's phone call. Thus, he went to his bedroom and used his landline to call Chu Mengyao.
Chu Mengyao finished her shower and looked at his phone. She had sent a picture of the pregnancy testing stick over half a day ago, but Fu Yi didn't even reply with a message. Disappointed, she put the phone back on the bedside table and went back to the bathroom to blow on her hair.
The sound of the hair dryer was very loud, so she could only hear the whirring sound. The phone in her bedroom rang, but she didn't hear it at all.
After blowing her hair, she stood in front of the French window and looked at the fireworks in the sky. After a while, she walked over to the bed and picked up her cell phone.
There was a missed call on her phone. She took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar landline. Seeing that the area code was 010, her first reaction was for Fu Yi to call over, but she was worried that she had guessed wrongly.
Just as she was hesitating, the number called. ”Hello.”
”You're still not sleeping?” Fu Yi's familiar voice came out.
”Aren't you the same?” Chu Mengyao lowered her head, and rubbed the corner of her clothes, feeling a little nervous. She wondered how Fu Yi would react when she saw that picture.
”What were you doing? Why didn't you pick up the phone?” Hearing Chu Mengyao's voice, Fu Yi's mood was not bad.
”I was bathing just now.” Chu Mengyao said.
Fu Yi purposely said, ”If I knew you were bathing, I would have opened a video.”
