SWG Chapter 48

Chapter 48

There’s a saying that goes, the most frightening thing is the sudden concern and inquiry from family members.

As soon as Xiao Yanyue’s voice fell, Ruan Shengyi suddenly felt a dense layer of sweat break out on her palms. She opened her mouth, but found that she didn’t even know what shape her mouth should make.

This, this, this…

There was even the sound of clothes rubbing against each other on the other end of the phone, as if the next second she would ask Lu Ke where she was now, and that she was coming to see her.

How, how is she so perceptive?

High school math teachers are terrifying! !

Lu Ke glanced at her and smiled gently, “Auntie~ This question is obviously not something I can tell you! Why don’t you ask Wenyu? But I’ll send you the application form now, you have to fill it out quickly, or the deadline will pass.”

Her words had actually set the tone, both explicitly and implicitly. This big cat, who was most accurate at catching students in early relationships, snorted coldly, “I’ll ask that fellow later, send the form over.”

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Shengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, “My God.”

Lu Ke held her phone and turned it around a couple of times, scoffing, “Is it that bad? Is Boss Ruan afraid of seeing Wenyu’s mother, or afraid of seeing the teacher?”

“Your face is pale.”

Ruan Shengyi leaned back to dodge her teasing, picked up the pen and paper again, and said, “I have more questions to ask.”

“Poor acting skills. Ask away~”

“Does she like to drink?”

Lu Ke chuckled, “She loves it! You don’t understand, a tipsy state is when artists are most inspired to create. But she didn’t drink much after getting married, the Lin family wouldn’t allow it. Now she can’t drink again, sigh, poor thing, she’ll have to wait two or three years.”

“Do you know the situation with the Lin family?”

Ruan Shengyi frowned, “Isn’t he just the manager of a Shengshi Real Estate branch? It’s not the main branch, why is he so arrogant?”

Lu Ke pursed her lips again, “Aiyo, a strong dragon can hardly suppress a local snake. I heard they’re relatives from Yecheng, relatives so distant they can send someone a thousand or two kilometers away. Working here doesn’t earn money or generate revenue, but they still really see themselves as something special.”

“He really is something special, openly and secretly looking down on our kids from ordinary families, setting all kinds of rules for Wenyu, saying that if she can’t take it, she should just get a divorce. When she actually got divorced, they refused to let her go, dragging it out. Otherwise, she would have been divorced half a year ago.”

“Little boss, what does your family do?”

Ruan Shengyi didn’t expect the topic to change so quickly, and paused, “Farming, growing cotton.”

She had indeed grown it, so it wasn’t a lie.

“Oh yo, that’s not bad, it’s not easy that you weren’t tanned into a little black coal.”

“…”

After a round of thorough questioning, it was past seven in the afternoon. Lu Ke glanced at her watch and stretched, “Alright little boss, I’ve told you almost everything that’s not convenient to ask Wenyu. It’s been a long time since I’ve cursed Lin Simu that bitch so happily, it felt good.”

She picked up her handbag and stood up, finishing the remaining wine in one gulp, her steps a little unsteady. So she simply swayed over, gently put her hand on Ruan Shengyi’s shoulder, hooked her chin, and said, “You’re working so hard, don’t let down your true heart. Xiao Wenyu is a simp for looks, but I also know a thing or two about martial arts. Understand?”

Ruan Shengyi’s face turned cold, “There’s no need for you to question me like that.”

Lu Ke chuckled, “Then that’s naturally the best. No need to see your sister off, your sister’s leaving, bye bye little boss who can make cocktails~”

Despite saying there was no need to see her off, Ruan Shengyi still carefully saw her into a taxi, and after telling the regular taxi driver, she carried her precious notebook back to the bar.

In the end, although their relationship had been neither too close nor too distant, neither too fast nor too slow, from the time she returned from the hospital to the time they began cohabitating, they were actually showing their cards.

Although there was concealment, if it could be resolved, she would… try not to second-guess.

Try not to.

Okay, Ruan Shengyi was a little guilty.

The application form had already been submitted, and several questions had been answered. Now it seemed that she was the one with more problems.

Ruan Shengyi bit her lip, pondering to herself.

Since they were already playing their cards… Forget it, she’d think about it some more. They had several days of spending time alone together, maybe by then she would find a way to resolve it? Or find a way not to tell the story in such a scary way.

She took out her phone, and only then did she realize that she had muted it at some point. Chen Yuexin, who usually complained that she was being particularly annoying lately, had actually called her three times, which was rare.

She quickly called back. On the other end, Chen Yuexin seemed to be driving, and her voice was a little distant, “You still know how to call back?”

Ruan Shengyi: “I was discussing something just now.”

Chen Yuexin: “Wait for me to pull over.”

The voice got closer, and the woman seemed to be smiling, “Guess who came to find me for the first time ever?”

Ruan Shengyi’s mind stalled for a moment. Her family? Impossible, Chen Yuexin wouldn’t use this tone to talk about such a thing. She didn’t need to mention a regular customer specifically. So there was only one possibility…

She tentatively said, “Xiao?”

The other person: “Mmm-hmm.”

In that moment, her heart beat like a drum.

She had thought that asking friends about scars that were difficult to ask about personally was her own whimsical idea, but she didn’t expect someone to have thought of the same thing, and even to think of who she should go to.

Thinking about Lu Ke’s evaluation just now, and recalling her interaction with this mother and daughter not long ago, Ruan Shengyi sighed inwardly: These two are not only similar in personality, but also have the same ability to see through people’s hearts.

Moreover, who said that Xiao Wenyu didn’t inherit anything from Xiao Yanyue? This cheerful and straightforward personality was clearly the way that cheerful aunt acted.

Ruan Shengyi clenched the pen in her hand, “What did she ask?”

Chen Yuexin didn’t answer her, but just sighed, “What’s so good about you, this little girl, that makes people like you so much? I’m telling you, you should try to talk about your family’s situation. I’m not afraid, so she won’t be afraid either.”

Ruan Shengyi: “So what did you tell her?”

“There are many things that I can’t say for you, I still understand that. But I told her that you have a deep psychological shadow about intimate behavior, and if she feels that you’re really bad at this, she can change to another person as soon as possible.”

Ruan Shengyi was stunned for a moment, then felt both ashamed and annoyed, and roared in a low voice, “Chen Yuexin!”

“Eh hey, your sister-in-law is urging me, I’m running away, good luck to you. Don’t really be useless and get dumped, that would be too embarrassing!”

“Chen Yuexin!!!”

“Bye bye~”

Ruan Shengyi’s face turned pale with anger. Listening to the phone gradually returning to silence, she still wanted to curse back, gritted her teeth, and then put down the phone.

What nonsense is this guy talking about!

She hasn’t even done it yet, how could she be so…

Argh, so annoying!!

After she threw herself into the cushion in the booth, she suddenly remembered something.

Xiao Wenyu had been with someone before, Xiao Wenyu could tell if she was good or not.

…What if she was still worse than Lin Simu?

That’s not right, she, a newbie who doesn’t understand anything, would definitely be worse than that slut who sounded like a high-level player in love!

So annoying, it’s all Chen Yuexin’s fault!

A long time later, Ruan Shengyi realized that the first time she overcame her inherent fear of so-called genetics was actually this afternoon, the afternoon when she started to let her imagination run wild.

She had been afraid for many years and worried for many years, but she had never thought of one thing.

Maybe the problems she was worried about were not genetic problems at all, but personal quality problems, to put it simply——

The woman who left her with a shadow and brought pain to Ruan Qing was a moron, and being a moron would not be inherited genetically.

But that’s all in the future.

*

Thanks to Chen Yuexin’s words, Ruan Shengyi felt that everyone who looked at her was smiling with ulterior motives, including herself. She was smiling with ulterior motives and infatuated eyes, her heart thumping as if it was going to beat the heartbeats of tens of thousands of years from now all at once this afternoon.

She really couldn’t stand it anymore, so she gave herself an early day off and sneaked home. She was panting all the way, and only realized when she got downstairs that she had forgotten to bring her house key.

“…” This was really bad timing.

Ruan Shengyi pursed her lips and took two steps back, the phone already in her hand, counting from top to bottom to the fifth floor.

Brightly lit.

It was already past eight or almost nine o’clock. Xiao Wenyu had been handing over the final finishing work to Li Wan recently, and she usually went home at this time.

But today, she might have come back directly after leaving Le Xin.

Ruan Shengyi weighed the phone, pondered for a moment, and still put down the phone and went upstairs directly.

Elevators always make noise when they run, there is always noise when walking on the road, and even when she parks, there is her own noise.

She didn’t know what she was hoping for, but when the door was suddenly pulled open before she could change her shoes and knock on the door, and the other person in the house leaned against the entrance handrail cabinet and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, Ruan Shengyi’s nose soured, and she almost cried directly.

“Oh dear, how did you turn into a red-eyed little rabbit?”

Xiao Wenyu smiled gently and came over to hold the head of this tall girl, her fingers gently rubbing the corners of her eyes, “I saw your key, silly, you forgot to take it and left it on the handrail cabinet.”

How could there be so much telepathy in this world? It was all because the other person was observing earnestly and carefully that they could see so many details, and offer a helping hand at just the right time, delivering so little warmth.

This warmth, this light, this gentle touch, was exactly what Ruan Shengyi had been looking forward to for many years, and had been absent for many years, some things called home.

She took half a step forward, pulled the person in front of her into her arms, hugging her gently, but couldn’t help but put her head into her shoulder, with a heavy nasal tone, and said in a muffled voice, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

I’m sorry for letting your emotions fluctuate because of my emotions, I’m sorry…

The timbre was mournful, with a hint of tears about to surge in it.

But Xiao Wenyu didn’t hug her back quickly this time. She paused, gently pushed Ruan Shengyi’s shoulders, and didn’t force her to let go, but just created a little distance.

She softened her voice, without blaming but also unhurriedly said, “Ruan Shengyi, is this a hug that I can hug back?”

She naturally felt the suddenly stiff hug, smiled, gently pushed her away, looked at those red eyes, and suddenly felt a little emotional: “I heard that Boss Ruan used to be quite a hooligan, but how many times have you cried in front of me?”

“What did she tell you…” Ruan Shengyi asked back with a hoarse voice.
