Chapter 69 Uncovering the Past
Ruan Chuchu tip of her nose ached. She smiled and held her hand." Auntie, you're friends with my parents. Are you here to worship them today?" 0
"Just call me Aunt Zhang." Aunt Zhang held her hand and looked at Ruan Chuchu carefully, tears rolling in her eyes.
Ruan Chuchu wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to do. She could only look at her. Her gentle side face was exactly the same as the gentle smiling woman on the tombstone.
"Okay, why are you crying?" Zi Jin and Jing Yan were both watching." The man called Old Zhang hugged his wife's shoulder and looked at Ruan Chuchu with a peaceful expression.
"I didn't even watch you grow up." Aunt Zhang held her hand tightly and cried," I originally planned to take you away, but that family took you away first. We haven't let you see you for so many years. "I don't even know how well you were at his house."
When Aunt Zhang spoke of the past, she began to gulp down as if she had cherished her fate and felt sorry for her good friend.
Ruan Chuchu couldn't help but catch up on something that she did n' t know, but she didn't immediately ask. She just looked at her husband and said," Uncle Zhang, come and comfort Aunt Zhang and tell her that I' ve been doing well in the past few years."
Aunt Zhang was barely amused by her quick-witted appearance and grabbed her hand." Are they treating you well?"
"Don't you think I' m fine? "I really did well." In front of her parents' tombstone, she did n' t want to talk about her experience. She smiled as her long black eyelashes curved into a crescent moon, looking like she didn't have any pain.
Aunt Zhang didn't feel at ease, but she stopped crying and held her hand as she spoke to her good friend.
For the first time, Ruan Chuchu was being cared for like a daughter by someone of this age. When she looked at the photos of her parents, the sour emotions in her heart surged out, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Previously, she had thought that she would not be hurt if she was strong, so no one cared.
By the time they left, Ruan Chuchu and Aunt Zhang were both crying. Uncle Zhang stood aside and wiped the wet corners of his eyes. He smiled at his friend and said," Old Man, look. This year, people cry. It's a big surprise for us this year."
Ruan Chuchu wiped away her tears in embarrassment and held Aunt Zhang hand as she left the cemetery. Finally, she looked back at her parents reluctantly.
After leaving the cemetery, Aunt Zhang held Ruan Chuchu and did not let go. Xu Xu said a lot about her parents, and Ruan Chuchu listened carefully, afraid that she would miss something.
Su Bai's face was filled with anticipation and happiness, causing Aunt Zhang heart to ache and almost shed tears.
"Cough, cough, cough. I don't remember much about the past." Ruan Chuchu held the teak tea that was a little hot and smiled shyly.
"At that time, you were still young." Aunt Zhang looked at her lovingly and asked with concern," What's wrong with your voice?" He was speechless.
"I have a cold." Ruan Chuchu coughed a few more times and said that he was about to recover. Only then did Aunt Zhang relax.
Uncle Zhang didn't say much, but he also took care of Ruan Chuchu. Seeing that she had been coughing and ordered a lot of light dishes, he even went out to buy a pigeon soup.
Ruan Chuchu was moved and sour in her heart. She paused for a moment before asking," Aunt Zhang, you said before that they didn't let you see me. What's going on?"
Aunt Zhang picked up some food for her." It's your uncle. Your mom and dad took you away the moment something happened. We wo n' t let our friends see you and say they've sent you abroad."
"I didn't go abroad. I' ve always been in China."
"If I knew he was lying to me, I would have taken you back then. "I don't want those two to bully you."
Ruan Chuchu didn't say anything about her experience with the Ruan family, but Aunt Zhang had always believed that she had not had a good time in the past few years. It seemed that the Ruan family and their husband had n' t commented on her at all.
Aunt Zhang said this angrily," I've been abroad all these years. I have n' t seen any news from the country. Is your uncle treating you well?" "No, I'll help you vent your anger."
"They adopted me." Ruan Chuchu thought for a moment and said," Aunt Zhang, do they have anything to do with my parents?"
She had never thought that way, but when she saw Uncle Zhang's hesitant expression in the cemetery, as well as Aunt Zhang angry words, and the strange look in the Ruan family's husband and wife's eyes, it was not difficult for her to draw this conclusion.
Aunt Zhang looked at her. The girl in front of her looked gentle and firm. She was so similar to her parents. She sighed and still told her what she had guessed." We're not sure about this. It's just that Ruan Shicheng's your father's younger brother. He's the number one beneficiary in your family. That's why everyone suspected him back then, but there's no evidence to say he was the culprit behind the scenes."
Aunt Zhang didn't want them to talk about the old days, nor did they want Ruan Chuchu to be troubled by the unclear entanglements. He touched her hair and said," We do n' t know anything about the past. Perhaps we've been thinking too much. If Ruan Shicheng took care of you well over the years, it's a bit of a conscience."
Ruan Chuchu clenched her palms tightly, and her heart felt uncomfortable. She saw too much in Aunt Zhang eyes. She felt pity and pity.
Ruan Shicheng had indeed raised her for many years, but it was just raising her.
Uncle Zhang came in with the pigeon soup he had just bought. Looking at Ruan Chuchu solemn expression, he knew what his wife had said to her." Why are you talking to the child?" "It's been so long. Do n' t make the child feel bad."
Aunt Zhang affectionately scooped out the milk-white soup and handed it to her." Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Chu Chu Try this pigeon soup. When I was still in China, his business was already quite popular. Your mother likes it too. She's still here for so many years."
When Ruan Chuchu heard that it was something her mother liked, she obediently took a sip and started drinking.
Aunt Zhang looked at her delicate face and said," Chu Chu eat more. You're too thin."
After a meal, Ruan Chuchu was fed a lot of food. She had eaten several more cups than usual. However, it was probably because she was too happy that her throat didn't hurt.
Aunt Zhang had dragged her to buy a lot of things when she returned to China. She had originally wanted to send her back, but Ruan Chuchu thought that she was still in the hospital, she quickly said that she didn't need it. She said that someone was coming to pick her up.
And Aunt Zhang they were just about to catch the plane and leave, they didn't insist. They left Ruan Chuchu phone call and even said to her," Call us if anything happens. Uncle Zhang will help you and Aunt Zhang will help you too. Do n' t be afraid."
"Yes."
As Ruan Chuchu watched them leave, the smile in her eyes gradually faded. The dull pain brought by the past finally swept over her when she was alone.
