Chapter 20

"Oh, what did she say?"
Although it soundsg casual, Bai Bo was Cheng Yuelin's assistant after all, and he soon realized that this 'she' was not referring to Zhao Bing, but Ruan Zhiyin.
So Bai Bo breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I don't know what she said, but Zhao Bing seems to be quite angry."
More than angry, although Zhao Bing always dresses herself up as 'dignified and decent', but she has not been to school for a few years, so she is not very self-restrained. The attitude on the phone can already be described as exasperated.
Hearing what Bai Bo said, Cheng Yuelin suddenly lost interest in continuing to explore, and hung up the phone with a light hum.
In the club, the rest of the people were playing cards.
Only he leaned halfway on the sofa naturally, shaking the clear and transparent wine glass in his hand lazily, his deep black peach blossom eyes thoughtful.
'Jinhuang' is the most famous high-end private club in Landbridge, where people come and go every day, either rich or nobel, and there are many celebrities accompanying them.
It is said that when they first came, two female stars were sitting in the room next door with the door open to drink with Young Mr Yan.
The other party saw Cheng Yuelin and said hello.
It's just that Yan Mingfeng has behaved well this time, so he doesn't dare to send women to Cheng Yuelin's room.
After all, it was sent to the hotel last time, and Cheng Yuelin ordered Bai Bo to throw it out.
"What's the matter, Brother Lin?"
Qian Fan came over just after playing a game of cards.
Today is a private game. In the box, besides Cheng Yuelin, Qian Fan, and Fu Chenyuan, there are two other roommates of Cheng Yuelin in college, Ren Huai and Weng Zishi.
Cheng Yuelin raised his eyelids lazily and replied to Qian Fan's words, "Zhao Bing also went to the fashion show, and the two seem to have met. Zhao Bing called Bai Bo with a bad attitude."
Yesterday, Qian Fan asked him when he would bring Ruan Zhiyin to meet the friends, but Cheng Yuelin's answer was, "She wants to go to the fashion show, and I'll talk about it later."
However, it will not be available for the time being.
Hearing that Ruan Zhiyin met Zhao Bing at the fashion show, Qian Fan frowned suddenly.
Not long after, he slapped his thigh and said, "Zhao Bing has a bad attitude. It must be that she scolded her to protect you! What is she doing on the phone? Complain? Nice try!"
"Brother Lin, coax your wife after you go back. Maybe she was hurt by Zhao Bing's anger today."
After Qian Fan said with indignation and all kinds of gesture, he looked up and saw Cheng Yuelin staring at him leisurely.
Seeing this strange look, his heart trembled. Qian Fan said nervously, "Why...why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?"
"Nothing. I just think that you are still much better than Bai Bo. Cheng Yuelin praised him generously, chuckled lightly, and patted Qian Fan on the shoulder.
Then, he got up and took his coat and said, "I'll go back now."
"Common on. Why did you leave so early? Didn't you say we'd shoot together later?"
Cheng Yuelin will get off work at this time, and will not come out at night. Qian Fan finally set up a party to invite him over, but the man was leaving again.
Qian Fan wanted to persuade him a few more words.
However, Cheng Yuelin has slowly adjusted his cuffs, raised his eyebrows, shook his head and chuckled, "No, I have to go home and coax someone."
Qian Fan, "..."
This guy is so fucking arrogant.

After coming out of the exhibition center, Ruan Zhiyin first took Ye Yanchu home, and then drove to the old house to talk to her grandfather for a while.
She comes here twice a week, and it's the time when the old man wakes up. Because they commute together, Cheng Yuelin occasionally accompanies her over here.
Mr. Ruan really likes Cheng Yuelin, the 'grandson-in-law'. It's only been one month, and he is actually a bit more cordial than Qin Jue, who grew up with him.
Ruan Zhiyin was quite surprised. After thinking about it, she felt that Cheng Yuelin accompanied her to visit her grandfather. Perhaps he saw the shadow of his grandfather in Old Man Ruan.
But despite this, Ruan Zhiyin still thanked him very much and was willing to tolerate his temperament.
During this time, Mr. Ruan fell asleep for longer and longer. Ruan Zhiyin persuaded him to go to the hospital many times, but he always waved his hand to refuse.
However, after communicating with the doctor, the other party said that the old man's current situation, if he relaxes his mind in a familiar environment, it may be better than in the hospital.
So Ruan Zhiyin stopped persuading him.

When leaving the old house, Butler Liu took Ruan Zhiyin to the door and handed her a box of fresh crabs, saying that it was sent by relatives from his hometown.
Grandpa Ruan has a bad appetite and is not suitable for eating cold food like crabs.That box of crabs was specially left to her by Butler Liu.
Ruan Zhiyin took it with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."
"After so many years, the lady is still so polite."
Although Ruan Zhiyin had only lived in the old house for three or four years, Butler Liu really cared about her.
Ruan Zhiyin knew that Uncle Liu was kind to her, but——
"I'm really used to it. I won't next time."
She is always used to being polite to people, and sometimes she can't help but erect a barrier to the closeness of others.
Perhaps it was because she stayed in the orphanage for too long that he was afraid of having such a dependency that was difficult to give up.
Seeing her pause, Steward Liu smiled kindly, "Miss, when you go back, please give master my regards when you go home."
This mister, naturally, refers to Cheng Yuelin. After all, when Butler Liu addressed Lin Cheng, it was always Mr. Lin.
Ruan Zhiyin was slightly startled, smiled and responded, then waved goodbye to Butler Liu.
Back in the car, she looked in the rearview mirror and shook her head.
Just coming for a few visits, Cheng Yuelin really attracted the elderly.
......
Driving back to the villa, she opened the door and entered the house. As soon as she changed her shoes and walked into the living room, she saw a quite rare vision, Cheng Yuelin leaning on the sofa leisurely watching TV.
On the large and clear screen, there is a movie.
Ruan Zhiyin glanced at it and found that it was a very classic romantic comedy.
She knitted her brows, and suddenly pulled out a little memory about Cheng Yuelin from her mind.
When the film was released, Ruan Zhiyin was in her third year of high school. Qin Xiang said that she asked her brother to buy two tickets and asked her to go to the cinema together on weekends.
When Qin Jue helped bring the tickets, Cheng Yuelin glanced at the movie tickets in her hand, chuckled softly, and commented arrogantly—'boring'.
At that time, the disdain in his eyes was particularly strong.
She didn’t know why his taste has changed so much over the years, and now he can actually watch it with relish.
Putting away the confusion, Ruan Zhiyin asked him, "Why did you come back so early?"
She thought that Cheng Yuelin was going to get together with Qian Fan and the others, but it was only before nine o'clock.
Cheng Yuelin didn't look back, turned down the volume of the TV, and said lightly, "Oh, it's over early."
After speaking, he said casually again, "Bai Bo said you met Zhao Bing today?"
Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyes to look at him, thought about her words, nodded and said, "Well, I saw it. Your ex-stepmother...is kinda special."
"You mean she's stupid?"
Cheng Yuelin sneered and shook his head.
Ruan Zhiyin shrugged noncommittally, thinking that this was not what she said.
On the other hand, Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows again after speaking, and laughed in a clear voice, "You made her very angry."
Then, seemed like thinking of something, he said meaningfully, "Ruan Yingying, you have made great progress recently."
Made, great, progress.
She still remember the last time Cheng Yuelin praised her so much. It was the day after the wedding, on the way to the old house.
At that time, she complimented him all over the place, and in the end she was "honored" to receive a compliment from him.
At the sight of the man's slightly raised chin, Ruan Zhiyin's mouth twitched slightly, and she paused, "Thank you...thank you."
Just as she was about to put those crabs that Butler Liu gave to the refrigerator, she suddenly remembered what Zhao Bing said today.
Clenching her fingers and hesitating for a long time, Ruan Zhiyin sighed and turned her head, frowning at Cheng Yuelin's gaze.
"Cheng Yuelin."
"Um?"
"Actually, no matter what kind of problem, you shouldn't conceal your ailment and refuse to consult the doctor, right?"
Cheng Yuelin, "?"
He was a little puzzled, but nodded lightly, and then said, "Of course you have to see a doctor if you are sick. So what problem are you expressing?"
"This...how would I know?"
Although she was a little skeptical, Ruan Zhiyin did not expect that he would continue to discuss such embarrassing issues.
Unnaturally pursing her lips, her eyes fell on the crab in her hand, and she changed the subject, "I brought back a box of crabs from the old house. Do you want to eat it? I'll go and steam it."
Cheng Yuelin glanced at the crab in her hand, as if thinking of something, but nodded lightly.
Ruan Zhiyin breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the kitchen.
Only Cheng Yuelin was left in the living room. After a while, the phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated twice.
He turned off the TV, got up to pick it up, and found that it was the WeChat message that Qian Fan kept sending.
Qian Fan: Brother Lin! Guess who I just bumped into!
Qian Fan: Damn, Lin Zhe actually went to work in the club!
Qian Fan: I asked someone and was toldthat he had Qin Jue expelled from him, and that he offended his sister-in-law for not being able to go back to the Ruan family, so he had to be arranged by his father to work in a clubhouse.
Qian Fan: Brother Lin, is Qin Jue still waiting to win Ruan Zhiyin’s heart back?! Her heart that you managed to win over can't be win back by him!
Qian Fan: Brother Lin, don't just think my sister-in-law to be nice to you now, so you don’t mind. Do you know what a crematorium routine is? What if you were forced to be Qin Jue's errand boy?
Cheng Yuelin glanced at his eyebrows, slightly puzzled by the word, and replied by typing: Crematorium?
After contemplating for a moment, the man moved his fingertips slightly.
The next second—
Cheng Yuelin: Do you want to wait for Qin Jue to die and send him to the funeral parlour ?
......
Cheng Yuelin: Oh, don’t bother. He has a biological father.
