old love revisited

Chapter 24 Entanglement (2)
For the first time in four years, Qu Ranran slept until the sun rose.

If it wasn't for the knock on the door, maybe she would have been in bed today.

When she got up, she found that her pillow was more than half wet. She pulled the quilt to cover the pillow, and she calmly opened the door.

Leaning against the door, Qu Ranran was puzzled, "Mr. Li, I thought you were going to manage the huge 'Lishi'. You must be very busy. Why do you always have time to appear in front of me?"

Li Renjun noticed Qu Ranran's red and swollen eye sockets, "Are you crying?"

"what?"

"Don't you feel your eye is swollen like a walnut?"

Qu Ranran skipped the topic directly and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Li Renjun replied, "I know you may have suffered a lot from my second brother, and now someone is coming to make decisions for you, do you want to see him?"

Qu Ranran immediately thought, "The person who persuaded you to help me?"

Li Renjun nodded, "If it wasn't for this person, even if Second Brother personally ordered me to take care of you, I probably wouldn't have that much time to spare."

Li Renjun's words made Qu Ranran even more puzzled, "Who is it?"

Li Renjun replied mysteriously, "You will know when you go, I promise you will not regret seeing her."

"Can I not go?"

"No, she will keep forcing me to take you to see her."

"Okay, just thank you for your care these days, and I'll go change my clothes."

"Ah."

……

What Li Renjun brought Qu Ranran to was a quaint Chinese style tea restaurant in G City.

Walking into this tea restaurant, Qu Ranran was very confused, because the complicated Chinese decorations inside did not seem like a place where young people would come.

Qu Ranran curiously asked Li Renjun next to him, "Is this person getting old?"

"Look for yourself, she's over there." As he spoke, Li Renjun raised a smile and waved his hand to greet the people in front of him.

Qu Ranran followed Li Renjun's line of sight, and saw an elderly woman dressed with extraordinary taste sitting by the window.

"She?"

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, he would be facing a luxurious and graceful elder. Qu Ranran followed Li Renjun and walked over, and greeted him blankly, "Uh, hello."

Guan's mother stood up, her eyes fell on Qu Ranran from the beginning to the end, with a kind face on her face.

"Ahem... Aunt, let me introduce, she is the second brother's ex-wife, Qu Ranran."

Mother Guan nodded and smiled.

For a while, Qu Ranran didn't know who the "aunt" Li Renjun was referring to was, so she could only laugh along with her foolishly.

"Ran Ran, Aunt is the mother of the second brother, you can call her aunt."

what?
Her eyes widened for a moment, and Qu Ranran froze in place, her body slightly stiff.

Guan Mu seemed to have known Qu Ranran for a long time, and said kindly, "Ranran, sit down."

Qu Ranran's face was pale and she was at a loss.

Li Renjun pulled Qu Ranran to sit down, then smiled at Guan's mother, "Aunt, I said, don't worry about my work, look, I brought you someone, and I should retire when I'm done." , you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk slowly."

Mother Guan nodded contentedly, "Go."

Li Renjun then stood up, "Ran Ran, then I'll be leaving first."

"Boss Li..."

Before Qu Ranran had time to pull Li Renjun back, Mother Guan's kind voice came, "Let him go, just ask me if you have any questions."

Qu Ranran turned her face to face Guan's mother in embarrassment, fighting under the table nervously.

"Sorry, I just got off the plane, and I didn't have time to buy you a gift. Next time, next time I will choose a gift for you."

"Uh, auntie, no need." Although she and Guan Hao no longer have any relationship, Qu Ranran, Guan Hao's mother, still treats her as an elder.

Guan's mother poured tea elegantly, and still said in a very friendly tone, "Don't be afraid to look at me, I'm different from my son, I don't eat people."

Mother Guan's words were very humorous, which eased the atmosphere and relieved Qu Ranran's tension at the moment.

Guan Mu said again, "Everyone says Qin Zixin is beautiful, I think you are much better than her."

Qu Ranran didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent.

"It's true that Guan Hao has been married to you for two years, and he refused to bring you to meet me, which made it so late for us to meet."

Although Guan's mother's voice sounded very friendly, Qu Ranran still didn't want to have anything to do with people related to Guan Hao. She tried her best to relieve her tension, looked at Guan's mother, and replied lightly, "Auntie, Guan Hao and I are already friends." It's a thing of the past."

Looking at Guan's mother at this moment, she realized that Guan Hao's good looks were inherited from his mother.

Guan's mother looked at Qu Ranran's beautiful face that had faded from childishness, and asked, "You were 20 when you married Guan Hao, right?"

"I do not remember."

"Why don't you remember? You must be angry with my son, and you don't want to mention anything about him now, do you?" Mother Guan smiled thoughtfully.

Qu Ranran was silent again.

Guan's mother stretched out her hand, patted Qu Ranran's cold hand lightly, and said kindly, "Silly boy, if you are bullied by my son again, don't be sad, I will help you out in the future."

after?

Qu Ranran froze because of Guan's mother's words.

"To tell you the truth, I am very dissatisfied with Guan Hao being with Qin Zixin now. This is also the reason why Qin Zixin has not been able to marry into our Guan family... I don't know your personality, but now When I look at you, I like it at a glance."

At this moment, Qu Ranran ignored her rudeness and got up, "Auntie, I have something to do, I..."

"Ran Ran, don't rush away... I flew here from the United States because I have a few words to tell you."

Pulled back to her seat again, Qu Ranran had to listen to what Guan's mother had to say.

"Ren Jun told me about you and Guan Hao. I am angry with my disobedient son, and I love you, and my unborn grandson even more..."

"Auntie!!" At this moment, Qu Ranran tried hard to suppress the choking in her voice, "Let the past be the past!"

After so many years, the child is still a taboo in her heart, and she can still clearly feel the suffocating pain of losing the child...

"Okay, let's not talk about this... I'll just ask you one last question, do you still have my son in your heart?" Mother Guan asked this question very seriously.

"I……"

Whether she still cares or not, Qu Ranran can immediately answer Guan Mu with a negative answer at this moment, but at this moment, she hesitates in her heart.

Doesn't she want to find a chance?If Mother Guan's love for her at first sight was sincere, then what she is facing now is a very good opportunity.

Yes, she wanted to get close to Guan Hao, she wanted to let him know that there is justice in this world, even he can't just ruin a person's life casually.

Tonight, she originally wanted to appear in front of him with a weak posture, but when she hugged him, thinking about what he despicably ordered people to do to her, she could no longer control her emotions. mood……

God knows, at that moment, how much she wanted to expose him and ask him, what kind of hatred could make him be so cruel to her?
They have been married for two years...

Even if she found out afterwards that he had wronged herself by marrying him, she didn't feel sorry for him. She was even played by him like a fool all the time. He was so complacent that even after they had nothing to do with each other, he still refused to let her go... …

He just wanted her to live in pain all her life, right?

That being the case, she is the only one who goes to hell without reason...

Seeing Qu Ranran hesitate for a long time, Guan's mother suddenly smiled knowingly, "Seeing your reaction, I already know the answer if you don't answer..."

"aunt……"

"Don't say anything, from now on, I will decide for you about the matter between you and Guan Hao."

A week later, New York, USA.

Qu Ranran came down from the second floor wearing home clothes, and saw Guan's mother sitting in the dining room waiting for her.

Qu Ranran smiled calmly, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I got up late."

"I got up early. There are very few young people like you who are willing to accompany the elderly to have breakfast. Come and sit down." Mother Guan greeted warmly.

The servant brought a delicious Western-style breakfast to Qu Ranran, and Qu Ranran said "thank you".

While matching the toast on the plate, Guan's mother spat out gently, "I'll pick out some of the dresses I bought for you later, and dress up beautifully today."

Qu Ranran put down the toast she was about to eat, "Huh?"

"Guan Hao is coming back today."

Hearing his name, Qu Ranran froze there without acting.

"Don't worry, it's all about me."

"But, Auntie, I..."

Guan's mother patted Qu Ranran's hand and comforted, "I forced you to come to America with me, so I will never allow anyone to bully you, including my son."

I once heard that Guan Hao was raised by Guan's mother alone, so Guan Hao never violated his mother's wishes, and respected her very much. Now hearing Guan's mother's assurance, Qu Ranran's tense heart relaxed a little.

……

After breakfast, Qu Ranran accompanied Guan's mother to study flower arrangement in the living room as she did a few days ago.

At this time, a servant came in from the outside, smiling, and said respectfully, "Madam, Mr. Guan is back."

Mother Guan continued to insert the flower branches at hand, and replied contentedly, "I know how to come to see me as soon as I get off the plane, it seems that I have not forgotten my mother."

For the past four years, Guan Hao has been in the United States.

This is his home with a distant and pleasant environment, and it is also one of the most expensive locations in the New York area, but because it is far away from "Haotian", he has always lived outside by himself, but even in "Haotian" No matter how busy the day is, he will set aside one or two days a week to spend time with Guan Mu.

"mom!"

Guan Hao's voice came.

Mother Guan has pulled Qu Ranran to stand up.

In the next second, Guan Hao's proud and tall figure appeared in Qu Ranran's line of sight, but before Qu Ranran could think about how to face Guan Hao, Qu Ranran saw standing next to Guan Hao, who was captured by Guan Hao. Qin Zixin hugged her waist.

Seeing the picture in front of her, Guan Mu's expression was not good.

Qu Ranran's gaze fell on Guan Hao's hand that was hugging Qin Zixin's waist intimately, uncontrollably, as if someone had stabbed her in the heart.

Perhaps seeing Qu Ranran, Qin Zixin froze in place, "Why are you here?"

Guan Hao squinted his eyes, as if surprised by Qu Ranran's existence.

Guan's mother walked up to Qin Zixin, and said indifferently to Qin Zixin, "Did I tell you that you can enter Guan's house? Get out!"

Qin Zixin's voice turned soft, "Auntie..."

Looking away from Qu Ranran's face, Guan Hao whispered to Qin Zixin, "You go up first."

"Ah."

When Qin Zixin took a step, Guan's mother said coldly, "You don't need to go up, I have already taken Guan Hao's room to Ran Ran."

Such a scene should have been a stalemate and embarrassing situation, but who would have thought that at this time, Qin Zixin's already pale face tried to smile, and swallowed bitterly, "Uh, Guan Hao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Jian Qianqian, why don't I go back first, and you stay at home with Auntie well."

"Zixin..."

Qin Zixin obviously didn't want to make things difficult for Guan Hao, she shook her head lightly at Guan Hao, and still smiled calmly, "I'll ask the driver to take me back, it's fine."

In front of everyone, Guan Hao kissed Qin Zixin's cheek, "Okay, be careful on the road."

"Well... Auntie, then I'll leave first, and I'll come see you when I have time." Before leaving, Qin Zixin still respectfully bowed to Guan's mother.

Mother Guan's eyes were cold and completely dismissive.

Standing behind Guan's mother, Qu Ranran was surprised at Qin Zixin's obedience and compromise in front of Guan's mother. At the same time, she was also wondering who the "Qianqian" Qin Zixin mentioned just now was referring to.

"Mom, let's eat!"

As if not angry with Guan Mu's behavior just now, Guan Hao went straight to the restaurant without looking at Qu Ranran again.

Guan's mother was very satisfied, and she pulled Qu Ranran who was in the middle of her thoughts and walked towards the restaurant.

Not talking while eating, not talking when sleeping, this is the basic etiquette at the table, so during the meal, the three of them didn't speak, and Guan Hao and Qu Ranran didn't even make eye contact, and they ate separately.

After the meal, knowing that Guan Hao and Guan's mother might need some alone space to talk about her problems at Guan's house, Qu Ranran offered to go for a walk in the garden, leaving time and space for them.

……

It has been more than a week since Qu Ranran came to the United States. Although everything in Guan's family is good, she is still not used to it. Sometimes she even wonders whether her decision to come here with Guan's mother is correct, but every time she feels confused and confused. When she is not determined, she will come to the garden for a walk, to enjoy the high-quality environment here while relaxing her mind.

At this moment, Qu Ranran walked easily on the path in the garden, stretching comfortably.

Suddenly, behind the flower bed, the conversation between two servants who were mowing the lawn inadvertently entered Qu Ranran's ears.

"I don't know what my wife is doing with Miss Qu..."
