eccentric

The man who had been waiting inside heard the movement and raised his head to look at her.

Ruan Xingchen pursed his lips, closed the door sideways, walked to the side of the man, and called softly, "Mr. Ruan."

Ruan Jiancai nodded slightly, "Sit first."

After seeing Ruan Xingchen sit down, Ruan Jiancai looked at her seriously.

It seems to have been more than ten years ago since the last time I saw her.

She has grown up and is as delicate as she was when she was a child, but if it wasn't for her who came here today, Ruan Jian thought, maybe the two of them met on the street, and he would not have recognized her.

Unlike Ruan Shuqing, this daughter has been raised outside by himself for so many years. Apart from paying living expenses to her card every month, he never paid attention to her, and didn't even take a second look at her. He really didn't do his best to be a father Responsibility.

Ruan Jiancai closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the last trace of guilt in his eyes disappeared without a trace. He raised his voice and called the waiter to come in to order, and when the waiter went down again, he didn't rush to speak.

Ruan Jiancai didn't speak, so naturally Ruan Xingchen wouldn't say anything either.

After that, there was no words until the dishes were served, and the two finished eating in silence.

Ruan Jiancai picked up a tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at Ruan Xingchen opposite, and said in a deep voice, "I'm full."

"Yeah." Ruan Xingchen nodded, "I'm full."

This was the first time he had a meal with his father since he was a child. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous at all. The palms of Ruan Xingchen's hands resting on his lap were full of sweat.

"I know what Shu Qing did." Ruan Jiancai said in a low voice, "I have also heard about what happened to the Jiang family."

For some reason, Ruan Xingchen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Only Ruan Jian continued: "I heard that you got good grades in the college entrance examination this time, and you even applied for C University, right?"

Ruan Xingchen nodded, "Yes, Mr. Ruan."

"The reason why I asked you to come out today is very simple." Ruan Jiancai's face was expressionless, as if he was talking about today's weather, "Regardless of your own financial ability, you can afford to read, I hope you can give up c big."

Ruan Xingchen raised his head abruptly, and looked at the man opposite him who was related to him in disbelief, "Why?"

She worked so hard on the test papers for two months, and then she stepped on the score line to pass the exam. This man who has no credit at all made her give up c university. Why?

"Shu Qing has also been admitted to C University. I promised her to talk to her and the Jiang family about her marriage contract with Jiang Heng. The Jiang family has also agreed, and the engagement banquet will be held in a short time. But whether it is Neither our Ruan family nor the Jiang family want you to appear in front of them again."

Ruan Jiancai paused, and continued: "There are many good schools in the nearby cities. If you agree, I will make arrangements for you, and I will not treat you badly in terms of living and accommodation."

The implication is self-evident, Ruan Jiancai not only asked her to give up C University, but even asked her to leave C City.

Ruan Xingchen stood up, with anger on his face, "Why do I have to leave when they are engaged? I can't go to C University. I won't leave"

"Because your existence will affect their development." Ruan Jiancai frowned, and his voice became cold, "I'm just telling you, it's up to you whether you go or not."

Ruan Xingchen's eyes were red, and he bit his lower lip tightly, trying not to let the tears fall. After a while, he calmed down a little, and asked in a lingering voice: "Ruan Shuqing is your daughter, and so am I. Why are you so partial."

Ruan Jiancai's eyes flashed a cold light very quickly, "If possible, I would rather never have you"

Ruan Xingchen opened his eyes slightly, holding back the tears from the corners of his eyes.

She thought that even if Ruan Jian didn't care about her, after raising her for so many years, she would still have a little affection for her, a blood-related daughter, but she didn't expect that he wished he had never given birth to her.

Ruan Xingchen wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, picked up his bag, and walked towards the door of the private room without saying a word.

Ruan Jiancai's voice came from behind him again, "You only have one week."

"I hate you the most." Ruan Xingchen opened the door of the private room and ran out.

Ruan Jiancai froze slightly, looked in the direction of the door, slowly raised his hand, and covered his eyes.

After a while, the assistant came in and bowed slightly, "Sir"

Ruan Jiancai put down his hands, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said in a low voice, "Immediately make arrangements for any city, the farther away from city C the better, if possible, send it directly to the country."

"yes."

Ruan Xingchen ran on the street for a long time like a headless chicken, until he was tired from running and then slowly stopped.

The tear stains on the face dried and drenched again, over and over again.

Ruan Xingchen sniffed, squatted down under the shade tree by the side of the road, buried half of his face in his arms, and stared blankly at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the road.

For the first time in my life, I began to doubt my own life

.

When she was very young, she knew from the pointers of her neighbors that she was an illegitimate daughter, a daughter her father discarded.

After she was born, apart from the incessant connection of blood, and her father's surname, it seemed that there was no other connection between them. Even her household registration was registered with her mother, and her father's family was completely Did not acknowledge her meaning.

Once she asked her mother why she had a father but his father didn't recognize her, and her mother would cry and say to her: "Xing Chen, it's all my mother's fault. But my mother never regretted giving birth to you, you will always be Mama's baby."

She didn't want to see her mother cry, so she never brought up the topic of her father again.

She thought, it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a father, it's enough for her to have a mother and Lu Xiaobai.

Later, when her mother died, a man came to her and told her that he was her father's assistant.

She was full of joy thinking that her father sent someone to pick her up, but the man told her that her father did not plan to take her back to the Ruan family, and had already found a new house for her, allowing her to move there. In the future, living expenses will be paid to her card every month.

To put it bluntly, it is to give her a place to live, give her money, and let her fend for herself.

She took the card, but didn't move in immediately.

It wasn't until the city was rebuilt that the house in their area had to be demolished and rebuilt, and the landlord came to take back the house, so she had no choice but to live in the house arranged by her father.

But now, even the house is gone.

The people of the Ruan family told her with practical actions that the Ruan family is the Ruan family and she is her.

Ruan Xingchen wiped away his tears, rubbed his numb legs, and slowly stood up.

After carefully identifying the direction, he walked towards the Wutong apartment.

Because of the long distance to walk, Ruan Xingchen didn't return to Wutong's apartment until it was slightly dark.

Before Lu Jingyuan came back, Ruan Xingchen simply didn't even bother to make his own dinner. After changing back into his pajamas, he went back to his room to sleep.

It was after eleven o'clock in the evening that Lu Jingyuan returned to the apartment reeking of alcohol.

Looking at the dark living room, he was slightly taken aback.

He closed the door behind his back, put the key on the shoe cabinet, changed his shoes, and strode towards Ruan Xingchen's bedroom.

The lights inside were also not turned on, so Lu Jingyuan turned on the button by the door, looked in the direction of the big bed, and when he saw the small figure on the bed, he let out a soft breath.

Subconsciously wanting to walk over, he took two steps, suddenly thought of something, sniffed the smell on his body, and frowned slightly.

He turned around and walked back to his bedroom, took out his pajama clothes, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and after almost washing off the smell of alcohol on his body, he walked back to Ruan Xingchen's bedside.

Sit down gently, trying not to disturb the sleeping couple as much as possible, leaned down slightly, and pressed a kiss on the little girl's forehead.

Just as he was about to sit up straight, he suddenly saw the tears on the little girl's face and the red and swollen corners of her eyes with sharp eyes. He froze, his complexion suddenly turned cold, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

Lu Jingyuan sat quietly for a while, and finally gave up the plan to wake up the little girl to ask for clarification. He took the remote control, turned up the air conditioner slightly, and pulled the thin quilt over the little girl's belly.

Turned off the lights, closed the door, and returned to the bedroom opposite to him.

He took the cigarette and lighter from the bedside table and walked out of the French window.

He took out one of them and ignited it, took a deep breath, and gently exhaled the smoke.

His dark eyes stared at the boundless night without moving for a long time.

Recently, Lu Jingyuan seemed to be busy. Since that day, he went out early in the morning and came back late at night. Ruan Xingchen hadn't seen him for several days. He had to go to the bathroom every day to get rid of his clothes. When I was washing, I saw his clothes, so I knew he had been back.

Ruan Jiancai said that she only had one week to prepare, and he would send her away whether she wanted to or not. Now half of the week has passed, Ruan Xingchen was afraid that Ruan Jiancai would really get someone to kidnap her, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

Lu Xiaobai was thrown into the army by her mother as soon as she arrived in City A. It was very rare to get a mobile phone and make a call, so now she just wanted to contact her and ask her what to do, but she couldn't find anyone.

As for Lu Jingyuan, she couldn't see him and didn't want to call to disturb him, so she had to wait quietly.

Fortunately, on the fifth night, Ruan Xingchen finally waited for Lu Jingyuan who returned on time.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ruan Xingchen immediately got up from the sofa, ran to the entrance, and rushed over to hug him.

Lu Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, lowered his head, looked at the little girl in his arms, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wei Yuanxiao, who was following Lu Jingyuan, walked over to take a look, and couldn't help but whistle, "Hey, little loli, you are very enthusiastic today."

After a pause, she smiled and moved to Lu Jingyuan's side, "Oh, if I was the one who walked in front just now, the one that Little Loli threw herself into, it would have been me."
