Chapter 17: Eighteen Years Back to the Place

Tang Ruan walked quietly when she left the small city of Qingcheng, from six to twenty-four years old, she spent eighteen years here, familiar with every inch of land here, and now when she left, she didn't dare to look back, turned around with her eyes closed, bowed hurriedly, and left in the night.

Mu Qichen was waiting for her in the car, seeing that her eyes were red and her lips were pursed, her eyes softened a little, and she handed over something in her hand: "I can always come back." ”

As soon as Tang Ruan's eyes fell, he saw that he was holding a sugar-coated lollipop in his hand, his eyes paused, he sniffed and glanced at him impatiently: "What are you doing?

Mu Qichen chuckled: "No, I guess I shouldn't be happy if I didn't sleep well." ”

Tang Ruan snorted, his face was a little lonely, and he snatched the candy in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's good to know!" Then he leaned his head against the car window and closed his eyes.

"I've found someone you can trust, whether it's life or anything else, it will be the best, don't worry too much. ”

Mu Qichen glanced at the little girl, saw that her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her palm-sized face was hidden in the darkness, and only after a while did she hum sullenly.

The car passed by a bright place, Mu Qichen saw a tear coming out of the little girl's eye sockets, he was a little flustered for no reason, thought about it, and said: "It's a little troublesome for your things to be transported over, and it may take a little time." ”

"Good. ”

Tang Ruan moved his body in a hurry, shrunk himself into a ball, his head hidden in the darkness, and his shoulders shrugged slightly.

Mu Qichen looked at her and didn't know what to do, but it didn't take long to hear her sobbing softly and then let out a well-proportioned breathing sound, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

After some tossing and turning, when Tang Ruan stood at the door of the courtyard that was about to blur in his memory, he didn't dare to push the door open and go in.

Mu Qichen walked up and stood at the door, turned around and called Tang Ruan, "Let's go, we still have to put things away." ”

Tang Ruan stared at the vermilion gate, and there was an indescribable palpitation and sadness wandering in his heart.

She knew in her heart that once she pushed open this door, she would never have a chance to turn back.

She saw Mu Qichen standing in the halo and turned her head to look at herself, and saw the corner of his mouth waiting for her with a warm smile, for some reason, a trace of warmth flowed in her heart, and she raised her steps and walked over.

She was silent and pushed open the door, squeak, pushing away the fate of her life.

"Ha, I said, my father, a stinky old man, really loves me. ”

A familiar breath came to his face, Tang Ruan was slightly stunned and then closed his eyes heavily, and then sneered, with a trace of forbearance in his heart.

Mu Qichen probably knew why Tang Ruan's home in Qingcheng was like a small courtyard house.

Because it was a father's deep love, he had prepared a gift for his child a long time ago, so that she could not panic even in a place far away from her homeland, and the courtyard in Qingcheng was just a miniature version of this courtyard.

"Your father has good intentions. Mu Qichen sighed a little.

Tang Ruan stared at the ginkgo tree that was thicker than the courtyard in Qingcheng and walked over, rubbed the trunk with one hand, and turned his head to look at Mu Qichen: "This tree, Qingcheng and that one will call it Dad." ”

"Go back to the old land and give you a gift. Mu Qichen laughed with her and took out something.

"Ouch, uncle, you're really polite. Tang Ruan pretended to be shy, and said with a deliberate smile: "You don't need too expensive gifts, just 1.8 million." ”

Mu Qichen was a little crying and laughing, and urged: "Open it and take a look." ”

"What's the matter, it's mysterious. Tang Ruan opened the box as he spoke, and looked at Mu Qichen in surprise: "Lemon yellow glazed lotus pattern porcelain plate!"

"Yes, this color is called you, so I bought it and gave it to you, and I wish you a victory. Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Mu Qichen felt very comfortable.

"Oh, uncle, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" Tang Ruan pretended to twist.

"As long as you are a ghost, you will take it if you give it to you, and it won't be worth a lot of money anyway. ”

Millions of things, sure enough, they are children of rich families, so they should buy a gadget casually. Tang Ruan was slandered in his heart, but his face was happy. I have to say that this uncle will do what he likes.

Mu Qichen smiled and reminded her: "The news of your return will spread soon, are you ready to do something?"

Tang Ruan glanced at him a little unhappily, and looked around with a porcelain plate: "I said that you are really disappointed, but I have just returned to my hometown after eighteen years of absence, can't you let me see things and think about people for a while?"

Mu Qichen followed behind her: "Of course you can, but you have to tell me your plans first, so that I can arrange it." ”

Tang Ruan finally found a suitable place, put the porcelain plate on it, and clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Don't worry, the old mansion of the Tang family has been abandoned for many years, and the buyer is very mysterious. ”

As Tang Ruan expected, in the evening of the next day, there was a knock on the door of the Tang family.

At that time, Tang Ruan was eating around a bunch of takeaways in front of the table, Mu Qichen looked at her with a complicated face three steps away, and when the doorbell rang, Tang Ruan paused his chopsticks, and raised his eyebrows at Mu Qichen with a greasy mouth: "Uncle, pick up the guests." ”

After she said it, she continued to stuff it into her mouth, and Mu Qichen smiled bitterly: "It looks like I have to find you a little second, I don't want to be called by you every day." ”

Tang Ruan smiled and didn't mind: "It's just a door, don't be so stingy, uncle." ”

Mu Qichen smiled helplessly, shook his head and went out, and it didn't take long for another person to come, Tang Ruan was wiping his mouth when he was full of food and drink, and looked in the direction of the figure, frowning unhappily: "Why are you?"

Du Qingchuan stood outside the door with a chuckle: "What, I'm not welcome?"

Tang Ruan got up directly: "Do you think my face looks like welcoming you?"

Du Qingchuan didn't mind her indifference to herself, smiled at Mu Qichen and walked in by herself: "I came today with a mission." ”

"What task do you want Young Master Du to run in person?" Tang Ruan was still not angry, she had just moved in, the house was empty, she looked here and there, and said to herself: "There is a lack of a TV." ”

The corners of Mu Qichen's mouth curled, and he turned to leave, Du Qingchuan was slightly embarrassed.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Tang Ruan gave Du Qingchuan a good face, reluctantly asked him to sit down, and threw him a bottle of mineral water indiscriminately: "If you have something to say, let it go, I'm busy." ”

Du Qingchuan looked at the mineral water in his hand and was a little stunned, Tang Ruan saw it: "What's the matter, do you want me to unscrew it for you?"

She said so and did so, snatched the bottle from his hand, unscrewed it and stuffed it into his hand: "It's only been a day since I came to City B, and the Du family can find it so quickly, it's really a big business." ”

Du Qingchuan just smiled and asked Tang Ruan: "Do you adapt to the climate here in City B?"

Tang Ruan also smiled and stretched his waist: "Adapt, I slept comfortably last night." ”

Seeing her face full of red light, Du Qingchuan said: "That's good, you don't know, but everyone in the antique circle in City B last night was sleepless." ”

"Really?" Tang Ruan was interested, his eyes shining: "Are you afraid?"

Du Qingchuan picked up the bottle and drank water, and then looked at Tang Ruan: "There are people with weak hearts, people who are afraid, and people who are happy, what do you think?"

Tang Ruan shrugged his shoulders, undeniable, and asked casually: "What about you, Du Qingchuan, which kind of person are you?"

Du Qingchuan didn't answer quickly, but thought about it, and then looked at Tang Ruan, his eyes sincere and serious: "I'm very happy, Tang Ruan, do you believe it?"

Tang Ruan didn't take his words to heart, and fell on the sofa and turned his mobile phone upside down: "Say, what are you here for today?"

Du Qingchuan didn't beat around the bush either: "There will be a party in three days, and the heads of the four major families will be present at that time, and my grandfather hopes that you can also come then." ”

"Reason?" Tang Ruan looked at Du Qingchuan, as if he saw him in his heart, which made Du Qingchuan's heart move.

Du Qingchuan quickly replied to Tang Ruan: "The four major families can only rise up because of the Tang family, and now that the Tang family is here, there is no reason not to see you, there are four families to support you, and you will be better off in this circle in the future, besides, the affairs of the Tang family, anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong." ”

"It's better than bad, don't bother others to worry about it, but I agree with what you said. Tang Ruan smiled and got up from the sofa: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that everything was strange back then, after all, they are all my grandfather's relatives and old friends, I will still go to see it on his behalf of the old man, don't worry." ”

She said this as if she was scolding, but Du Qingchuan just wanted to laugh, after leaving the address, Tang Ruan was about to drive people away, Du Qingchuan walked to the door and couldn't help but turn around: "Tang Ruan, I admit that the matter in Qingcheng is to determine your identity, but that gall bottle, it is determined that it is our own people who steal cold rice, and the person in charge of the hall has disappeared." ”

Tang Ruan pushed people out of the door without saying anything: "That's none of my business, let's go of yours." ”

When the door closed, Tang Ruan's face showed a little thought, as if he had thought of something.
