Bamboo horse is not a gentleman

Chapter 55

As if God heard Yuan Qing's prayer, Yin Heyuan called Lu Bai the next day:

"Brother Ruan, great, mom has woken up."

Lu Bai took a breath, and then recovered his calm expression:
"How is she now?"

"The body is still relatively weak, and I fell asleep within 10 minutes after waking up. But don't worry, Director Wang said that the condition is showing signs of improvement."

"I'm going to see her today."

Yin Heyuan laughed "hehe":
"Okay, now that Mom is awake, I've ordered the sentry to be withdrawn, Brother Ruan, you can come whenever you want."

"Okay, I'll come."

Lu Bai put down his phone, and Yuan Qing looked at him nervously:
"How about it?"

"She woke up once, but fell asleep again."

Yuan Qing only felt that the hanging heart was slowly put back.

"I'm going to go and see her."

"Will Yin Heyuan stop you?"

"No, since he took the initiative to call, he won't make things difficult for me anymore."

When Lu Bai was driving, Yuan Qing bought a copy of that day's "Lucheng Daily" when he passed the newsstand, and quickly turned to the entertainment page. Sure enough, on the front page, he found a follow-up report about Lu Bai being the son of Ruan Xinmei, that is, Lu Bai went to The scene of visiting the critically ill Ruan Xinmei.After reading it carefully, Yuan Qing couldn't help admiring that Xiao Lu was as smart as her elder brother, and described Lu Bai's deep feelings for Ruan Xinmei in a warm and plain language between the lines, and at the same time supplemented Yin Heyuan's politeness and kindness as a stepson. Dadu, like this, not only praised Lu Bai, but also raised Yin Heyuan's image. No wonder this guy would take the initiative to call to report the progress of his illness!
Xiao Lu knew as well as Lu Bai that as long as Ruan Xinmei didn't wake up, and as long as she stayed in the intensive care unit for one more day, they couldn't tear each other up with Yin and his son and provoke them to do something!
"The whole report is full of praise?" Lu Bai glanced at Yuan Qing from the driver's seat.

"Yes."

Lu Bai raised the corner of his mouth, sneered and said:

"Now that she is still in their hands, there is no good result in pulling her teeth out. I can only say something nice to let them achieve their goals, so that they will not have other thoughts."

After nine o'clock, the morning rush hour had already passed, and Lu Bai drove like lightning all the way, and the two arrived at the ward very quickly.

Sure enough, as Yin Heyuan said, the two men in suits were gone, and the doctors and nurses obviously knew them too. After they changed into clean clothes, they walked into the ward easily.

Ruan Xinmei was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, but the ventilator had been unplugged. Lu Bai walked up to her mother step by step, bent slightly, watched her for a moment, and then carefully checked her breathing with his fingers.

At this moment, Ruan Xinmei suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Lu Bai lightly.

Caught off guard, Lu Bai could only slowly retract his fingers.

"Why...do you want me to die?" After a while, Ruan Xinmei said, her voice was extremely low and weak, if it wasn't in the intensive care unit where you could hear the tip of a needle falling, you might not be able to hear clearly.

Lu Bai's face turned pale for a moment, but soon he returned to his expressionless face:
"It seems—you're still alive."

Ruan Xinmei unexpectedly raised the corners of her mouth slowly, and seemed to have a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't do what anyone wants, except myself."

Lu Bai tried his best to restrain his emotions, lowered his voice and said:
"I just want to ask you one thing..."

"Nothing to ask." Ruan Xinmei said lightly, she suddenly turned her head to the coffee table on the right, staring at the vase on the coffee table.

Lu Bai seemed to understand something, he gently walked around the end of the bed, walked to the tea table, took out the vase, and saw a recording pen behind the vase.He put the vase back without saying anything, and then took out a pen and a notebook from his pocket. This is a habit he has developed as a writer, and he can capture and record those moments whenever he has inspiration.

"You lost this time? If so, please blink."

Ruan Xinmei didn't blink, but a trace of gloom and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

"Did Yin's father and son harm you?"

Ruan Xinmei blinked.

"Is it for money?"

Ruan Xinmei blinked again.

"Do you need someone to help you with this? Or—wait until you recover? If you wait for recovery, you can blink."

Ruan Xinmei's long and narrow eyes were clear and cold, she blinked, and opened and closed her pale lips:
"Yin Heyuan is here."

Lu Bai quickly put away the note, and Yin Heyuan's patent leather shoes made a "slapping" sound on the floor until he came up to him: "Mom has spoken?"

Lu Bai stared at Ruan Xin's closed eyes:

"She was very weak and fell asleep just after saying a few words."

Yuan Qing, who was standing next to Lu Bai, saw Yin Heyuan's strange smile:

"Don't worry, Brother Ruan, this is all temporary. My mother won't be willing to stay in bed like this. She is a very powerful woman, and men are no match for her. This may be one of the reasons why her marriage will not last long. one."

Lu Bai turned his head quickly, staring at him with a pair of faint eyes:
"Are you entrusted by Yin Mochen to propose a divorce from my mother?"

Yin Heyuan laughed, and patted Lu Bai's shoulder affectionately:

"How can us juniors get involved in the affairs of adults? I'm just joking, you don't worry too much."

It seems that because he attracted the media, Yin's father and son's sensitive nerves were touched, and they seemed to be more eager than Ruan Xinmei himself to get rid of the troubles caused by this marriage quietly.

As soon as Yin Heyuan left, Ruan Xinmei opened her eyes and said in a cold tone:

"Throw it away!"

As expected of a mother and son, they have a tacit understanding.Without saying a word, Lu Bai strode to the coffee table, turned off the recording pen hidden behind the vase, and threw it into the wastebasket.

"Don't you need to continue acting?"

"I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while." Ruan Xinmei's dark eyes were drawn to Lu Bai, and her tone was as normal as asking what's for breakfast today, "You're staying with me tonight."

Lu Bai's throat quivered slightly, and he said for a while:
"I've got to go back—get clothes and blankets."

Yuan Qing quickly said:
"I'll go back and get it!"

Ruan Xinmei seemed to have just seen Yuan Qing, her eyes remained cold and cold:
"Excuse me, Miss Yuan."

Although Ruan Xinmei was sick in bed, she was not a sick cat, but a sick tiger, her aura was still astonishing, Yuan Qing was almost obedient, and escaped from the ward at a loss.

"Yuan Qing." Lu Bai stopped her in the corridor.

"Ok?"

The man stretched his long legs, leaned forward, and covered her right cheek with a gentle and generous palm:

"After bringing the clothes and blankets, go home and have a good rest. Look at you, the dark circles are all out."

Yuan Qing rubbed against the man's palm like a contented cat:
"I will. You and auntie will be fine."

Lu Bai didn't answer, but brushed away the broken hair on Yuan Qing's forehead, pressed a kiss on Qingmei's smooth forehead, and watched with satisfaction as her ears turned red and she ran away.

When he returned to the ward, Ruan Xinmei had already fallen asleep.In Lu Bai's limited memory, the two of them have never stayed in the same room so quietly like now. In the past years, just a look or a provocative word would trigger endless quarrels and wars.When did mother and child hate each other and hurt each other?From her deceitful marriage to Liu Jiang, or she did not hesitate to miscarry on purpose to marry Li Luoyang; or she was indifferent to herself, ignoring her, only thinking about money and rights, even knowing that she was kidnapped by Li Yan and letting him live on his own off?

Anyway, I don't know when the seeds of hatred were planted. I thought that the smoke would never end, but I never expected that there would be such a day when Ruan Xinmei would appear in front of me in such a quiet and fragile form, unable to bear the burden of a few words. Then fell asleep again.

"She has never been a god, nor is she a Satan, she is just an ordinary strong woman who is extremely smart." Yuan Qing's words suddenly echoed in his mind, Lu Bai walked up to his mother step by step, and looked at her silently.

"It's so noisy." Ruan Xinmei suddenly opened her eyes, frowned, and glared at her son impatiently.

"You didn't sleep?"

"I'm closing my eyes to rest my mind." Ruan Xinmei said, closing her eyes again.

Lu Bai was angry and funny, and it seemed that it was not only him who didn't adapt, but also her, his physical mother.

When Yuan Qing walked into the ward with a suitcase and a large bag of food, he saw such a scene.

Ruan Xinmei was sleeping on the hospital bed, and Lu Bai was lying on the sofa not far away, falling asleep.

The mother and child are still so distinct in the same space!
"Hello!" Yuan Qing tiptoed up to Lu Bai, and whispered in his ear, "Wake up!"

"Noisy!"

A weak and cold voice came from the hospital bed, startling Yuan Qing, she turned her head cautiously, only to see Ruan Xin staring at her with deep eyes:
"come here."

Yuan Qing bit the bullet and walked to Ruan Xinmei, she could feel that the other party was looking at her with extremely stern eyes, and after a while she heard a cold voice:

"You are not worthy of Lu Bai."

Yuan Qing raised her head abruptly. Although subconsciously, she was afraid of this woman, but for Lu Bai, her feelings were like rocks on the seashore, which would not move even the wind and waves.

"As long as Lu Bai needs me, I will not leave him."

Ruan Xin's eyebrows raised the corners of her lips, it seemed to be an extremely mocking and disdainful smile:

"Someone once said the same thing to me."

Yuan Qing raised her eyebrows and blurted out, "Lu Bai's biological father?"

"He said he wouldn't leave me as long as I needed him. It's a waste to say that a woman like me stays in the same place forever, as long as I go out of the village, I can see a wider world and have a better life He said that as long as he can leave the village, he will take me away. Anyway, the village chief likes me, as long as I agree to sleep with that person, everything will be easy to handle.”

Yuan Qing had to cover her lips to prevent herself from screaming:
"so……"

"So I married the village chief's stupid son and endured the village chief's torture day after day. The man returned to the city and left me alone in the village until half a year later I couldn't bear it anymore and ran out of the village to find him .I saw the city, found that man, and lived with him for a period of time. Until one day, he suddenly disappeared from the world and completely disappeared in my life. When I was desperate, I met Liu Jiang, but found myself Already pregnant." Ruan Xinmei narrated in a flat tone, as if she was a bystander who had nothing to do with herself, and concluded: "Maybe I shouldn't have given birth to Ruan Bai, but in order to change my own destiny, and occasionally touch my growing The growing belly, feeling the little bit of being a mother when he kicked me, I gave birth to him anyway."

Yuan Qing's heart seemed to be strangled, and she was almost out of breath. She quietly looked at the sofa not far away, and found that Lu Bai seemed to be still sleeping, which made her feel a little relieved.Instinctively, she didn't want Lu Bai to hear Ruan Xinmei's words, one can imagine how heavy, unbearable and unfortunate it was to him!

"However, this child who was born in my misfortune seems to have a pair of predestined hands. As long as he exists in my life, he will bring me misfortune. Both Liu Jiang and Li Luoyang are because of him. Death. Liu Jiang went crazy after knowing that Ruan Bai was not his biological son. He tried to kill him several times, but in the end he killed himself. As for Li Luoyang, before he passed away, we had a violent incident on the yacht He knew that Li Yan was not his son, but because he didn't like Ruan Bai, he insisted on leaving the inheritance to that little green hat. I firmly opposed it, and I said that he was not your biological son anyway, no matter in terms of intelligence or ability. Ruan Bai obviously surpasses Li Yan by a lot. If he agrees, I can even ask Ruan Bai to change his surname to Li! But he still didn’t agree, and I got impatient, so I drove the yacht to the shore, got off the boat and left. Who knows the next day Then came the news of his disappearance..."

After Ruan Xinmei said these words, she let out a slight gasp.

Yuan Qing didn't know what to say, what to say to end the endless grievances between mother and son these years, she could only ask: "Then... who is Lu Bai's biological father? Where is he now?"

Ruan Xinmei closed her eyes tiredly, her expression indifferent:

"It's been too long, I forgot his name, and he left early."

"gone?"

"Yes, leave us forever."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I have been burdened with these past events for too long and are too tired, I will hand them over to you from now on. It is up to you, the person who will live with him for a long time, to decide whether to tell him all this."

After Ruan Xinmei really fell asleep, Yuan Qing took out the things in the suitcase one by one and put them in the closet. When she took the blanket to cover Lu Bai, Lu Bai opened his eyes.

When he touched the man's vortex-like eyes, Yuan Qing understood, he heard everything.

Distressed, heartache, heart like split, pain for him.

Very distressing.

Yuan Qing hugged Lu Bai tightly without leaving any gaps and did not give the other a chance to breathe. The flesh and blood were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

"It's over," she said.

"It's all over. Aunt Ruan has gone through. She got rid of all the misfortunes in the past, completely rewritten her life, and became a strong woman who overlooks everything from above. You are her own son, and you have the same tough will as her. With strength and a firm goal, we will definitely be able to survive! A beautiful life is ahead, as long as you stretch out your arms, the shadows of the past will be invisible in the sun, and it will never be possible to drag you back. You Just be a suspense writer with a lot of fans and high popularity as before, and be my best boyfriend!"

"Can I?"

As if a century had passed, she heard the man say in a trembling voice.

"Yes, definitely, I will be with you forever."

Lu Bai opened his arms and hugged Yuan Qing back, as if he wanted to embed Yuan Qing into his body. Both sides were hurt by the pressure of the other's ribs, but neither wanted to let go.

Yuan Qing heard a faint sob that was almost inaudible.

She knew that it was Lu Bai who was crying.

It was she who was crying too.

Not only the painful tears shed for the past, but also tears to break free from confusion and move towards happiness.

"Yuan Qing, let's get married."

"okay."

Happiness is so natural, it will happen when conditions are ripe.
