Ruan Ling and Ye Xu glanced at each other, and then motioned to the servant to open the door for Chen Songyang.

Chen Songyang walked in with a big grin, and prepared to go upstairs to find Ye Xu with a familiar car.

After seeing who was in the living room, Chen Songyang's body visibly froze.

"Rear ......" Chen Songyang almost rushed out of his mouth "stepmother", but fortunately braked in time, "Hello, Auntie!" You're at home too. ”

Chen Songyang has been visiting the house I don't know how many times, Ye Jingchi goes out early and returns late all the year round, and every time he is at home except for the servant, Ye Xu is basically alone.

The inertial thinking formed over the past few years made Chen Songyang not consider the possibility of Ruan Ling at home.

Ruan Ling looked at Chen Songyang, then at Ye Xu, and asked, "Have you made an appointment to go out?" ”

Chen Songyang: "I-"

Ye Xu: "No. ”

Chen Songyang: "......" Why didn't his brother turn his elbow to him?

Then Chen Songyang suddenly reacted again, the two people in front of him were mother and son in name, and he was the outsider.

But no matter what, he still had to ask Ye Xu about it alone.

"That ......" Chen Songyang opened his mouth while thinking about what reason to find.

He looked left and right as soon as he was empty, but suddenly saw the familiar paper bag in front of Ruan Ling.

Chen Songyang's eyes widened instantly: "That-"

Ye Xu suddenly interrupted, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Chen Songyang still didn't calm down, and couldn't hide his shock and glanced at the half-opened paper bag on the coffee table again.

It is indeed a takeaway bag from the cafeteria, which also contains one of the school's most popular desserts, macarons.

He swallowed and came to an incredulous conclusion -

Ye Xu's dessert seems to have been bought for his stepmother.

Ruan Ling sat on the sofa for a long time, and said at the right time: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

She could see that Chen Songyang was very interested in the bag of desserts that Ye Xu brought back. But she didn't say anything, waiting for Chen Songyang to ask herself.

No way, who made her a boring and bad-eyed adult?

Chen Songyang was excited: "No! ”

Thinking of the purpose of coming this time, and thinking of Su Junruo's pitiful eyes, Chen Songyang decided that he couldn't come in vain-

He wanted to confirm it, so that he could go back and give Su Junruo an explanation.

Chen Songyang looked at Ye Xu and then glanced at Ruan Ling. I don't know why my intuition told him that it was easier to get an answer by asking Ruan Ling than Ye Xu.

"That, Auntie......" Chen Songyang said slowly, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

The big boy who is nearly 1.8 meters old has a little coquettish in his tone.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Songyang felt a cold gaze from Ye Xu sweeping over.

Chen Songyang didn't squint and pretended not to see.

Ruan Ling smiled: "Yes, you ask." ”

Chen Songyang pointed to the bag on the coffee table, thought about it, and made a slight detour: "The ...... in here Auntie, do you like to eat? ”

Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows.

Chen Songyang also felt that this question was a bit strange, and added in a hurry: "Hehe, this is a dessert in our school cafeteria." Auntie, if you like it, next time, next time I come to find Ye Xu, bring it to you! ”

Ye Xu's eye knife flew over again.

Ruan Ling laughed out loud: "I haven't had time to eat yet." However, it shouldn't bother you. ”

She raised her chin at Ye Xu, who hadn't spoken for a long time next to her, and smiled at the corner of her lips: "Ye Xu will help me bring it, right?" ”

Ye Xu: "......"

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Xu let out a very light "um", which was almost inaudible if he didn't listen carefully.

Anyway, it's not troublesome to buy it by the way when you eat at noon, Ye Xu thought.

Chen Songyang looked at Ye Xu, and a shocked expression appeared on his face again: When did his brother Xu become so good at talking?

Fortunately, what Chen Songyang wanted to confirm had been confirmed, and the dessert that Ye Xu bought was not for any girl he liked at all, but for his stepmother.

"That, Auntie." Chen Songyang completed the task and immediately decided to retreat, "I suddenly remembered that there was something going on at home, so I'll go first." Goodbye, Auntie! ”

Chen Songyang made a "bye-bye" gesture at Ye Xu in the air, and then ran out of the door.

The person who talked the most left, and only Ruan Ling and Ye Xu were left in the house.

Ruan Ling's task has been completed, and it seems that one more person participating in the chat does not affect the success of the task decision.

Ye Xu suddenly said, "I went upstairs to read." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Ruan Ling to agree, picked up his schoolbag and walked up the stairs.

Ruan Ling watched Ye Xu's back disappear at the corner of the stairs, and then looked at the macaron at hand.

If she guessed correctly, Ye Xu is embarrassed?

Ruan Ling blinked, then laughed.

It's so cute!

.

Ye Jingchi arrived home at nearly eleven o'clock in the evening.

As usual, he went to the living room to open the fridge and wanted to pour himself a glass of milk.

This is Ye Jingchi's habit for many years, drinking a little milk one to two hours before going to bed to help him sleep.

He took out a carton of fresh milk from the cold room and shook his hand slightly.

In the middle of the refrigerator is a box of colorful macarons, the rightmost row of which is mostly empty.

Two seconds later, Ye Jingchi retracted his thoughts, and was just about to close the refrigerator door, when he felt that the pattern printed on the lid of the box was somewhat familiar.

He recalled it and remembered that it was the school emblem of Ye Xu's school.

Ruan Ling will definitely report to him when he goes to the school housekeeper, that is to say, this box of macarons was bought by Ye Xu himself and brought home.

Neither he nor Ye Xu have the habit of eating sweets, who is this box of macarons for, the answer is obvious.

If just now, Ye Jingchi just intuitively felt that there was one more person in the family, then now, his mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Ye Jingchi suddenly remembered the scene he thought he had forgotten about ten years ago.

At that time, he had just adopted Ye Xu not long ago, and one day Ye Xu came home, pushed open the door of the study, and handed him a piece of candy.

He didn't like sweets, so he took it and put it on his desk.

A few days later, the candy suddenly disappeared, and he thought it was a little strange, but he didn't think much of it.

During that time, Ye's was facing a transformation crisis, and he sometimes forgot whether he had eaten or not, and naturally he didn't have the energy to care about a piece of candy.

It's just that in retrospect, after that, except for the items that the school requires must be handled by the parents, Ye Xu doesn't seem to have brought him anything from the outside.

Ye Jingchi stood in place for a moment of silence, and suddenly reached out and opened the lid of the box containing the macaron.

He carefully took one, put it in his mouth, and frowned slightly.

It's sweet, he's not used to it.

However, it doesn't seem to be unacceptable.

.

The next day, because he had slept before half past ten the day before, Ruan Ling woke up earlier than usual.

Even so, there were two other people in the family who had risen earlier than her, and they had already gone out before seven o'clock.

Ruan Ling ate the simple breakfast prepared by the maid alone, and remembered the leftover macarons from yesterday.

She took the box out of the fridge and ran to the couch to sit down, ready to enjoy it in the early morning sun.

Opening the lid of the box, Ruan Ling's fingers paused slightly.

She remembered very well that she ate three by herself yesterday, but Ye Xu didn't eat it.

There are four columns of macarons in the box, four in each column, and there is just the last one left in the rightmost column yesterday, and she will definitely not be mistaken.

But now, the rightmost column of the box is completely empty.

Four words popped up in Ruan Ling's mind: Someone stole food!

The servants of the Ye family can be excluded first. The housekeeper told her that the ingredients in the house were all placed in the kitchen, and the things in the refrigerator in the living room could not be touched casually by the maid.

Ruan Ling felt that no one would risk losing their job just to steal a macaron.

As for the rest of the possibilities......

Ruan Ling thought about it and decided to wait for Ye Xu to come back tonight and ask him.

It's not that she wants to ask the teacher for sin, she just wants to know if she has succeeded in giving this stepson another kind of food.

Throughout the morning, Ruan Ling continued to prepare for the studio.

Near lunchtime, a phone call interrupted Ruan Ling's train of thought.

Ruan Ling answered the phone and frowned for a second after hearing the voice on the other side.

"Lingling." On the phone was Ruan's father's voice, "Why did you block me and Haosen?" I used your aunt's phone to get through to your number! ”

Ruan Ling rolled her eyes.

is worthy of father and son, and the first sentence he said when he called Ruan Haosen was almost identical.

Ruan Ling also replied with the same words: "Knowing that you were blocked, you still call me?" ”

"Ruan Ling!" Ruan Mingwei said in a deep voice, "How do you talk to your father?" ”

Ruan Ling sneered: "Heh, my father died early, who are you?" ”

"You!" The man's voice almost broke, sounding so angry that he couldn't figure it out, "Ruan Ling, what the hell is going on with you!" How long has this been married to that Ye Jingchi? Why, just-"

Ruan Ling's face did not change: "You can see the true face of your dog father and son?" ”

"You-" This time it was a real burst, followed by a distinctly rough gasp.

Listen carefully, there seems to be a female voice in the background, comforting Ruan Mingwei.

Ruan Ling changed into a comfortable position on the chair and waited patiently for the panting over there.

It's been a long time since I've cursed, and I'm worried that I won't have a chance to practice my mouth.

Finally, Ruan Mingwei's voice came from the phone again, and this time it sounded a lot calmer.

"Lingling, like this. There are some things that are not clear on the phone, you come back at noon today, let's have a meal together as a family, and have a good chat. ”

Ruan Ling's eyes were about to turn to the sky: Who is the same family with this group of scum?

But she didn't forget to ask the system first: "Is there a mission?" ”

[Nope.] In the original book, you begged Ye Jingchi to help Ruan Haosen, so the Ruan family didn't trouble you, and they didn't rush you home for dinner as much as they are now. 】

Hearing that Ruan Ling didn't answer immediately, Ruan Mingwei was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to continue to persuade while the iron was hot.

Ruan Ling: "No need, I have nothing to talk about with you." But when you're dead, I can consider going to your grave and burning some paper for you. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ruan Mingwei to react, Ruan Ling gave the other party a dragon to hang up.

By the way, I complained to the system: "If you don't have a task, you said it earlier, and I don't have to talk to this scumbag." ”

The system said faintly: "I see that you are quite happy to scold. 】

Ruan Ling smiled: "You found out." ”

[......] knew that it was so.

Ruan Ling thought that if she scolded Ruan Mingwei, she would be able to be quiet for at least a few days.

As a result, not long after lunch, the housekeeper told her that someone was looking outside.

The system told Ruan Ling that it was Ruan Haosen who was standing at the door of the courtyard of the villa.

As for why it wasn't the door of the villa, because the security guard didn't know Ruan Haosen, he didn't let him in.

After listening, Ruan Ling almost laughed.

Imagine the scene where Ruan Haosen came to her to settle accounts in a rage, but was locked outside the courtyard and couldn't enter, Ruan Ling felt happy.

"Well done." Ruan Ling said, "Just let him wait outside, don't drive him away, but don't let him into the house." ”

Now that the sun is scorching outside, Ruan Haosen can't blame her if she suffers from heat stroke outside.

"Yes, ma'am." After a moment's hesitation, the butler said, "Madam, the one outside...... He claims to be your younger brother. ”

Ruan Ling shook his finger and corrected: "It's Ruan Mingwei's son, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

The butler replied "yes", thought for a while, and then asked, "After that, this ...... If Mr. Nguyen comes again, I will also ask the security guard to deal with it in the same way? ”

Ruan Ling nodded: "Yes, if this scumbag comes again, he will be dealt with the same." ”

"Yes, ma'am, I see. Then you get busy first, I won't bother you. The butler respectfully stepped aside.

Ruan Ling rested for a while, and was ready to continue to make plans. She was energized and didn't feel tired at all.

However, she was about to get a pen and paper when the system suddenly reminded her loudly.

【Attention! It was detected that Ye Jingchi and Ruan Haosen were about to meet! 】

Ruan Ling was a little surprised: How long has it been since Ruan Haosen went to the company to find Ye Jingchi?

The system continues to broadcast a warning: [Due to the involvement of Ye Jingchi, the father of the important person Ye Xu, the host must also be on the spot within five minutes! ] It's the mission! 】

Ruan Ling: "...... Ha? Five minutes? Even if you take a helicopter, you won't be able to reach Ye's in five minutes. ”

[It's not Ye's, it's the doorstep! ] Ye Jingchi is coming soon! 】

Ruan Ling: "......"

Ye Jingchi actually went home at noon? The sun really came out in the west.

"Okay." Ruan Ling stood up and pulled the small coat on his body, "Since this is the case, then I can only reluctantly attend." ”

【…… Go ahead. 】

……

Three minutes later, Ruan Ling appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

She wore sunglasses, held a small beige parasol, and walked leisurely as if she had come to an outdoor tea party.

Ruan Haosen was wiping his sweat anxiously, and when he saw Ruan Ling coming over like this, he suddenly became angry.

"Ruan Ling! You-"

The second half of Ruan Haosen's words was interrupted by a car driving behind him.

A Rolls-Royce slowly came to a halt at the intersection, and a man got out of the car.

Although Ruan Haosen entered the entertainment industry by relying on Ruan Mingwei's relationship, his personal image is really okay, and he can barely reach the threshold of the entertainment industry.

But everything has to be compared, as soon as Ye Jingchi appeared, he immediately lined Ruan Haosen so that his eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not his nose.

Ye Jingchi is tall and tall, at least ten centimeters taller than Ruan Haosen, and his facial features are more than a little eye-catching.

Ruan Haosen originally looked like he was going to trouble Ruan Ling, but after seeing Ye Jingchi, his momentum suddenly weakened by half.

If nothing else, Ye Jingchi said a word, and the Ruan family's income would be discounted.

Nguyen Haosen: "......"

"Brother-in-law." Ruan Haosen opened his mouth with a scowl in his face.

Ruan Ling said coldly on the side: "Yo, your face is quite big?" What kind of relatives are you climbing here? ”

Ruan Haosen: "Ruan Ling, you-"

Ye Jingchi walked in front of Ruan Ling and said in a deep voice: "If there is anything, just say it here." ”

Ruan Haosen took a deep breath: "...... Brother-in-law, that's right. Ruan Ling promised me that she would arrange a role for me, but she didn't fulfill it. ”

"Promised you?" Ruan Ling stood behind Ye Jingchi and grabbed Bai, "Do you have any evidence?" Is there an agreement in black and white? Is the agreement legally binding? ”

Ruan Haosen gritted his back molars and did not answer.

He saw that Ruan Ling's side was not entering, so he pinned his hopes on Ye Jingchi.

Ye Jingchi looked at Ruan Ling sideways, and then said to Ruan Haosen: "She said that she didn't promise you, that is, no." ”

Ruan Ling also raised her eyebrows to look at Ruan Haosen, her eyes mocking, and she had an expression of "see what other tricks you can pull".

Nguyen Haosen: "......"

Ruan Mingwei told him that he must not offend Ye Jingchi, otherwise the Ruan family will have to lose a layer of skin.

But Ruan Ling is so arrogant, Ruan Haosen is young and short-tempered, and he really can't bear it.

He only felt a breath of air in his chest, and if he didn't vent it again, it was about to explode.

He doesn't want to care about the broken role of the TV series or the relationship between the Ye family!

Anyway, looking at Ruan Ling's appearance, he won't help their Ruan family, it's better for everyone to die and break the net, and no one should think about it!

"Brother-in-law." Ruan Haosen clenched his fists tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I know you defend her." But brother-in-law, do you know that Ruan Ling and she are not the same person as you imagined at all! ”

When these words came out, Ruan Haosen had already thought about it.

Even if Ye Jingchi doesn't want to hear it anymore, he will definitely finish his words, so that Ruan Ling will never be able to live a peaceful life again!

However, Ye Jingchi just glanced at him indifferently: "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
