Ruan Bai's cheeks were flushed.
The atmosphere in the car became silent and ambiguous.
Huddled in the passenger seat of his car, for some reason, Ruan Bai felt much more at ease with him beside him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Ruan Bai attributed the source of this sense of security to the blood relationship between the two.
Staying by my brother's side will make me feel more at ease in my heart. This logic seems to be not wrong in the relationship between ordinary brothers and sisters.
Gradually, Ruan Bai really fell asleep.
She was relieved to be glad that she had finally found the position she should be in. Psychologically, she regarded him as her elder brother. In this way, it would no longer violate ethics when two people get along alone.
Mu Shaoling drove the car to a toll booth. When he passed the toll booth, he turned his head and glanced at her huddled up in the co-pilot. These days, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and even fainted. It's hard to rest for a while.
The black Land Rover was driving smoothly on the road, and Mu Shaoling had to look at the co-pilot from time to time, seeing that she was not awake and was sleeping soundly, so he could rest assured.
Until the car drives to a small town, the road in the small town will inevitably have potholes.
When Ruan Bai woke up, her body was sore and uncomfortable. She looked around and realized where she was.
Holding his suit jacket with her fingers, she looked at the man in the driver's seat and said, "Sorry, I fell asleep."
Mu Shaoling concentrated on driving, turned a corner, and drove in the direction of her house, and asked casually, "Why do you say sorry when you fell asleep?"
Ruan Bai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He drove to the town overnight to help her find her grandfather. After driving for too long, the driver was lonely and boring. It was better to have someone to talk to.
But she accidentally fell asleep.
It must have been a boring and hard drive for him to drive this way.
...
City A.
Zhang Xingan played outside until after midnight before returning home.
Zhang Yide went to bed early, and woke up suddenly when he heard the sound of a car driving into the villa.
After waking up, he pushed his wife who was sleeping beside him: "Wake up, wake up quickly."
Aunt woke up and looked at uncle in a daze.
"Did the son come back? You brat, look at what time it is!" The uncle was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger. His son was getting older, and he couldn't beat him anymore.
My aunt got up and looked at the time, it was indeed very late.
Before his son went to prison, he played like this outside day and night, and he didn't come home until midnight. After playing, something happened, and he went to prison.
"I'll go downstairs to have a look, don't go down." The aunt was worried that the uncle would go down and fight with the son, she put on her clothes while talking, pulled on her slippers, and walked out of the bedroom.
Uncle sighed, leaning against the head of the bed, unable to fall asleep, and pounded his fist on the old-fashioned pillow.
The aunt went downstairs and came back from the outside just in time to see her son.
After changing the slippers, Zhang Xingan looked up and saw his mother with an unhappy face.
"What's the matter, why don't you go to bed so late? Don't sleep for beauty sleep when you're old?" Zhang Xingan said sweetly, and prepared to go upstairs.
The aunt was not deceived by her son's rhetoric, and said, "Stop for me."
Zhang Xing'an stopped, turned around, and looked at his mother.
Between mother and son, the four eyes met, and the aunt's eyes were filled with tears, pouring out all the grievances: "Going home in the middle of the night, you want to piss your dad and me to death, right? No wonder Mu Shaoling couldn't see As for your cousin brother, even if you fall in love with a female secretary of the family, they will not support you! Tell me about you, except for your good skin, there is nothing like a human being in your whole body, and you are not worthy of respect!"
Since childhood, Zhang Xing'an has been better looking than ordinary boys, and my aunt is very proud of this.
But who would have thought that it was this good skin that attracted countless women to die for him, and made him such a cynical and sentimental temperament.
If given a choice, my aunt would rather this son be ugly from birth!
Mu Shaoling is Zhang Yali's son, and Zhang Yali is Zhang Yide's younger sister. Although his aunt knew Zhang Yali when he was young, they didn't have a good relationship.
My aunt doesn't like Zhang Yali's sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart. This sister-in-law dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and she is famous for wanting to climb high at all costs.
At this age, he is still stubborn.
Because she didn't like Zhang Yali, her aunt naturally couldn't like Zhang Yali's son, Mu Shaoling.
If you delve into your inner thoughts, in fact, my aunt knows that she is jealous of Zhang Yali, who has a self-disciplined and excellent son.
Most importantly, Mu Shaoling gave Zhang Yali a pair of grandchildren.
"I live mine, he lives his, why do I need his respect?" Zhang Xing'an didn't drink today, he was very sober, he frowned and looked at his mother.
"Why do you need his respect?!" The aunt cried angrily, pointing to the living room full of guests at night and said: "The circle of rich people in City A is so big, who doesn't know who? Take this afternoon as an example, Zhang Yali didn't come to the relatives and friends gathering held by our Zhang family because of a small fashion event in the entertainment circle, do you know how many people laughed at our Zhang family behind their backs!"
My aunt dared not tell her husband these words, for fear that he would think she was hypocritical.
What can be done? She could only swallow her anger and tell her son that she only hoped that his son could live up to his expectations!
Zhang Xing'an saw the wrinkles in the corners of his mother's eyes, saw her bitterness, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Go back to sleep, whoever I marry, it's up to others to support or not, just marry that Xiaobai back to you."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xingan turned around and went upstairs.
Looking at the back of her son leaving, the aunt was relieved and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
small town.
When Mu Shaoling got out of the car, he moved the iron chain at the door with his big hand, but found that there was no trace of it being opened.
The courtyard walls are high and there are no ladders.
There were no lights in the yard either.
"Grandpa hasn't come back." Mu Shaoling turned around, bowed his head and said to Ruan Bai.
Ruan Bai stood there with her head buried, very quiet, but the quieter she was, the more distressed he was. He walked over, hugged her into his arms, and bowed his head to kiss her forehead.
"Don't worry, we'll wait for news from the police." He calmed down.
In the silent air, gradually there was the sound of her wanting to inhale but didn't dare to really inhale. Mu Shaoling suddenly raised her face, and sure enough, he could clearly see the big drops in her eyes. tears.
"Don't cry." Mu Shaoling can't say comforting words, especially girls, he can only hug her tightly, press her head in his arms, stroke her cheeks and head with warm big hands, Her thin shoulders tightened her arms, wishing to wrap her completely into her body.
Ruan Bai was afraid that something would happen to his grandfather.
