You're leaving tomorrow?

Suddenly hearing this news, Ruan Menglan did not know how to react. She was stunned, thinking, what does her aunt leaving this place have to do with telling her about Xingzhang's whereabouts?

It doesn't seem to matter, does it?

She was about to say that there was no relation between the two of them, but Zhu Hongrui smiled and said, "Alright Menglan, go and busy yourselves. I don't understand the affairs of you youngsters, as an old man, it's better for you to just watch the scenery every day."

With such an obvious, simple and crude way of expressing Ruan Menglan's feelings, Aunt Zhu probably didn't want to tell her where Xingzhang was, right?

How could this be?

Ruan Menglan was startled. Right now, the emotions in her mind were a lot more sad and less angry than before.

She had always thought that her aunt liked her. She should have helped with such matters. How could she have chased him away like that?

This did not make sense!

However, Zhu Hongrui wasn't some other person, he was instead the mother who liked people, so Ruan Menglan didn't dare to be impudent, and in the end, left the place with her head lowered.

Looking at her leaving figure, Zhu Hongrui pensively said in a low voice, "You did well in this matter."

In such a large living room, there were only two people like that. Hearing her words, Zhu Zhu was shocked, was his aunt talking to him? What did she know?

Both of Zhu Zhu's hands intertwined together unnaturally as the corners of his mouth twitched, he stuttered, "Aunt …"

Zhu Hongrui slapped her hand, and with a comforting tone, she said softly, "Don't be afraid, I know, but I won't scold you. Do you want to know how I saw through it?"

Indeed, he wanted to know. Zhu Zhu lifted his eyes and looked at Zhu Hongrui quickly. His gaze was filled with puzzlement.

Zhu Hongrui was very satisfied with her niece's performance. She smiled and said with confidence.

"No matter what, I have lived for so many years. How could I not understand those twists and turns between you two?"

"When Ruan Menglan talked a few times, she looked directly at you. She doesn't know how to hide it, and with your actions, I have watched you grow up. How could I not guess that you were also involved?"

"Aunt, I …" Zhu Zhu couldn't help but call out in a low voice. She really didn't want her own little thoughts to be seen through, especially her own aunt.

On the other hand, Zhu Hongrui decided to be frank with her. After all, she was going to leave here tomorrow.

She lightly patted Zhu Zhu's hands and asked the question that she had always wanted to ask, "Zhu'er, do you like Xingzhang?"

Zhu Zhu looked up in shock. She had never thought that her aunt would ask this question, as she had always thought that she would hide it well …

Was it really a long time ago?

Zhu Hongrui said softly, "Zhu'er, Aunt knows your thoughts. You have liked Xingzhang for so many years, I already know, it's just that I don't want to interfere any further with the matter of Ruan Menglan saving Xingzhang."

Did he mean that he was not against being with his cousin?

Zhu Zhu's face revealed surprise and joy, Zhu Hongrui said in displeasure, "Seeing you happy, are you very excited?"

Uh, Zhu Zhu said, "Aunt …"

Although Zhu'er was not her own niece, she had always thought highly of her child. If she could be together with her own outstanding son, Xingzhang, then Zhu Hongrui would definitely be happy.

But he understood his own son, Xingzhang's cold personality. There were many times when even her mother was unable to fully understand his thoughts, and as time passed, it would become harder to fathom.

If Zhu'er was able to be together with Xingzhang, this road would be very long and heavy, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to help much.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongrui sighed softly, which confused Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Hongrui held Zhu Zhu's hands, thinking to explain everything to his niece at once.

She opened her mouth and said, "I am not too sure about the relationship between the two of you, but Zhu'er, if you want to be together with Xingzhang, you must not be anxious, for example, with the current situation, Ruan Menglan is brainless, and she is going against Tang Xu, for now, regardless of what character Tang Xu has, you have to make a move against her, it is a good idea for both of them to suffer."

Zhu Zhu stuttered, "Aunt, you don't blame me?"

Would aunt not feel uncomfortable when she used such crafty tactics to scheme her cousin?

As if he had heard a joke, Zhu Hongrui chuckled: "Why would I blame you?"

Her gaze was distant, as if she was looking into the distance, "Zhu'er, you have to remember, there are many things in this world that you have to work hard to obtain. If you don't work hard, you'll never get them."

Didn't the memory of him slowly get what he wanted?

Zhu Zhu thoughtfully nodded his head, as if he was thinking of something. The living room had suddenly become indescribably quiet, but it was not awkward at all.

After a while, Zhu Hongrui who had recovered from his memories, came back to reality. Not wanting to be tangled up too much, he directly said, "Alright, Zhu'er, Aunt will be leaving here tomorrow, you have to remember that you can't be anxious about your own things one step at a time. Take it slow so that you can obtain the final victory."

This was all she could say. Every step of the new generation required her to take.

Zhu Zhu was moved, and even his eyes started to moisten, "Aunt, why are you so good to me?"

Zhu Hongrui ridiculed, "I'm not being nice to you, who else can I be nice to? You are my niece."

From Zhu Zhu's body, she seemed to see herself in the past making all sorts of efforts for her own goals. This sort of feeling made Zhu Hongrui feel both familiar and unfamiliar, and he had no choice but to like her even more.

"..."

By the side, Ruan Menglan who was invited out of the Meng Family by Zhu Hongrui had a depressed look on her face.

Since she couldn't find Meng Xingzhang and Aunt Zhu wasn't willing to help her, what could she do? He could only come back.

But once she thought about how Aunt Zhu was not willing to help her, Ruan Menglan's mood became heavy. From another point of view, could it be that the elders of Meng Family had a negative opinion of her and Xingzhang together?

She opened the door and stepped inside, wanting nothing more than to be alone.

However, when she was leaving in a fit of anger, her brother, Ruan Siming, who had previously said that he would wait for her, was still waiting for her in the living room.

He crossed his legs as he held a document in his hand. When he looked at her, who had just entered the room, a big smile appeared on his face, as if he was greeting his younger sister's return.

Ruan Menglan's heart ached, she could not bear the feeling of being wronged, her tears flowed down, under Ruan Siming's worried gaze, she shouted with a wronged tone, "Big brother."
