"The way you are now is not suitable for answering his calls." Zhang Yali guessed who the caller was without looking.

Ruan Bai bowed his head, crying all the time.

"Come on, dry your tears and come up with me." Zhang Yali couldn't say any words of comfort, she took out a tissue and handed it to Ruan Bai, as if this was the most she could care about.

Ruan Bai rejected the two tissues given by Zhang Yali, took a breath, wiped away the tears on his face, and walked to the hospital.

A person who is so sad that he keeps crying will attract other people's attention when he walks in the hospital, but he will not be looked at more often. In this kind of place, there are more than one or two sad people.

The hospital elevator is not busy in the afternoon.

Ruan Bai quickly came to the floor where his father was hospitalized.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

She had to take her father's feelings into consideration, and she couldn't let him see her distressed and sad.

Zhang Yali stood silently at the bathroom door, waiting.

Ruan Bai went in, washed his face with cold water, and then looked at himself in the mirror whose eyes were red from crying with a dull expression, his slightly frowned brows couldn't be relaxed no matter what.

When Ruan Bai came out, Zhang Yali reminded: "If you don't want your father's condition to worsen, you should be happy."

Ruan Bai raised his head and looked at this woman, wanting to ask, please tell me, how can I be happy?

Passing by Zhang Yali, Ruan Bai went to the ward.

The nurse saw the patient's daughter coming and walked out.

When Ruan Likang saw his daughter, his expression was very good, but when he saw Zhang Yali following behind her daughter, his entire expression immediately became gloomy.

"Dad." Ruan Bai called out.

Ruan Likang stared at Zhang Yali's expression, which directly explained the fact that it was indeed a man's eyes of hatred for his ex-wife.

In fact, on the way here, Ruan Bai understood that since Zhang Yali dared to say it, this matter might already be an unchangeable fact.

"I came here to tell you something." Zhang Yali took the initiative and said to Ruan Likang, "I wanted not to disturb your father and daughter for the rest of my life, but by chance, I met Xiaobai, who is very sensible. , I like her so much, I accidentally learned that her surname is Ruan, and I am even more excited."

Saying that, Zhang Yali came over and hugged Ruan Bai's shoulders hypocritically, and smiled contentedly: "I didn't expect my daughter to be so old. Since we met, it is the fate of our mother and daughter. You are not in good health now. The old man was also driven back from Japan, Xiaobai's burden is too heavy, I think at this time, there is nothing wrong with Xiaobai having an extra mother like me."

Ruan Bai didn't break free from Zhang Yali, fearing that his father would see his weakness.

Ruan Likang's eyes looked and looked between Zhang Yali and Ruan Bai.

Zhang Yali suddenly wanted to recognize his daughter, which made him feel deeply puzzled, but if the daughter did not reject it, this matter was her own business. A father would not use his own morality to restrain his daughter.

"Well, you father and daughter have a chat, and I'll wait outside." Zhang Yali put her arm around Ruan Bai's hand, and patted Ruan Bai's shoulder as a warning.

Don't say the wrong thing.

When there were only two father and daughter left in the ward, Ruan Likang hesitated for a while, and then said weakly: "Xiaobai, come here, Dad is asking you..."

"Dad, don't say anything." Ruan Bai didn't want to go through his father's words, and was forced to recall the pain of being abandoned since childhood.

At this time, she just wanted to stay quietly.

Before today, she didn't think it mattered at all who her biological mother was.

And now, it's not a matter of recognizing this mother or not.

"Okay, you stay calm, dad doesn't talk." Ruan Likang didn't understand the truth, and thought that his daughter couldn't accept being approached by her mother for a while.

Ruan Bai bowed his head and remained silent for a long, long time.

"It's up to you whether you want to recognize this mother or not... Dad thinks that when I'm gone and I'm no longer in this world, at least you still have a relative." Ruan Likang couldn't hold back, but said anyway.

I hope my daughter can see the pros and cons clearly.

Ruan Bai finally had a reaction, shook his head, looked up and asked: "Back then, my neighbor said that my mother left with a rich man after giving birth to me, and my grandfather told me so before, so why, now she has a comparison My son who is four years older?"

After thinking for a long time, she finally sorted out every clue that was tangled in her mind.

But she didn't see "what she wanted to see" from Ruan Likang's expression. Ruan Likang had an expression that understood the whole story: "Dad knows about this..."

"Back when your mother was with me, she was no longer a big girl. She was hurt by others and gave birth to a child for others, but that child... was not recognized by others."

"Later, Dad found out that the man who hurt your mother was a powerful and wealthy businessman, and your mother gave him a son."

"Father just thought, this kind of illegitimate son of a wealthy family may be recognized sooner or later. Dad was also worried, worried that your mother would return to that beast in the future because of that son."

In the end, Ruan Likang stopped talking.

The answer is obvious, all the bad things he expected eventually happened.

The illegitimate son of a wealthy family was taken back to recognize his ancestors, and the mother of the child was also valued by the mother, so she left the ordinary man who healed her "wounds", and returned to the rich man without hesitation.

...

Ruan Bai didn't know how he got home.

Like a walking dead with no soul and no consciousness, he made dinner for Grandpa and Li Ni.

Li Ni put rice into her mouth, looked at Ruan Bai, and asked, "Why do you seem to have lost your soul?"

"No, you should eat more." Ruan Bai hurriedly acted normal, and even forced a smile.

"Don't laugh, laughing is uglier than crying." Li Ni concluded that Ruan Bai had something on his mind, and since he came back at noon, this worry has become more and more serious.

Fearing that grandpa would be overwhelmed, the two didn't chat much at the dinner table.

After finally finishing his meal, Ruan Bai went to wash the dishes, keeping his head down without raising his head.

Li Ni was beside her, frowning and said: "I think you have cried..."

"My dad's condition hasn't improved." Ruan Bai found an excuse to prevaricate why he was crying.

"Is it really because of this?" Li Ni didn't believe it.

Ruan Bai was afraid that he couldn't help but find Li Ni to be his confidant, afraid that he couldn't help but say some unspeakable things. Finally, after washing the dishes, he gritted his teeth and sent Li Ni out.

Li Ni will officially go home to live from tonight.

Grandpa is sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, playing with the birds.

Li Ni bought a bird from somewhere in the afternoon, and hung the bird cage on the balcony.

Ruan Bai held on and on, but still couldn't hold on anymore. In the empty living room, not long after she closed the door to send Li Ni away, she leaned against the bathroom door and began to cry.

"Crack."

The key was inserted into the door hole, and the door was opened.

A man dressed in dust and dust walked in.

Mu Shaoling was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a mature and steady appearance, his brows were tightly frowned, and his facial features were extremely cold. He not only held his car keys, but also the house key that Li Nicai took away.

Looking at each other, Ruan Bai's stagnant eyes became flustered again.
