IJCFIARFS Chapter 26

Ruan Yanshun said nothing, he was very upset!

Ruan Yanshun has always put his career first. His ex-wife even had a miscarriage due to career-related reasons, which led to their divorce. However, Ruan Yanshun did not think it was a big deal.

Just children and women, it would be easy for him to have them.

But now he wanted to blame Jiaojiao but couldn’t completely blame her.

This child has always been so innocent, kind, passive, and caring about his family, just like his second brother. It is impossible that she did it on purpose this time. It was just a mistake. The bigger problem is that group of people in China.

And the third brother, how could he be so careless? How could he not destroy the equipment?

Little did he know that with Xie Youzhou around, all of Ruan Yanzheng’s means of escape were in vain. Xie Youzhou had already found out the location of his signal when he was still intact. Even if Ruan Yanzheng wanted to destroy everything at once, he would need enough time.

Xie Youzhou could have produced evidence earlier, but he wanted to tear the Ruan family apart layer by layer. Not only would they lose tens of billions of dollars, but they would also throw away Ruan Yanwei and finally Ruan Yanzheng would be imprisoned, making them lose all credibility in front of the whole world.

More importantly,

It was impossible for the Ruan family not to develop resentment towards each other under the continuous beatings.

A group of self-centered, selfish people, even if they can still tolerate each other now, the bottom line was their safety.

What will happen when they find that they can no longer turn things around because of others?

Oh, he was looking forward to it.

……

The Ruan family was in a state of despair, but there was some hope for the Zhao family’s case.

“It will be reviewed in less than a month.”

Lin Zhiyu brought Zhao Hua good news. When Zhao Hua saw the message on the screen, he was doing homework at the table in the ward of the sanatorium.

Her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She wanted to reach out to type a reply, but her tears blurred the screen.

“Hua’er, mother’s Hua’er…why are you crying?” Zhao’s mother, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw Zhao Hua crying and stumbled to her feet. There was a hint of clarity in her crazy eyes, but she soon fell into chaos again.

“Don’t cry, Hua’er, don’t cry. Well, Jiaojiao, don’t cry either. Mommy’s darling daughter, don’t cry…”

“Mom…” Zhao Hua was surprised and sad, tears streaming down her face, “You recognized me? You recognized me?! Mom, you are okay, right? Mom – you are okay, right?!”

“Ahhh! don’t hit her, don’t hit her, don’t hit my daughter, don’t hit my daughter…” But Zhao’s mother seemed to be frightened by Zhao Hua’s excitement. She backed away frantically, jumped onto the hospital bed, and curled up in the quilt, holding a pillow in her arms.

“Don’t hit my daughter, don’t be afraid… not afraid…”

Seeing that her mother was immersed in the scene when the family encountered a sudden change her father, uncle, and brother were arrested and a group of people came to smash and destroy the house, Zhao Hua couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Mom–”

“Mom… Dad, uncle, and brother are going to be alright; they are going to be alright, please get well soon, get well soon…”

“The Ruan family, and Ruan Jiaojiao…” Since the incident, Zhao Hua never mentioned the Ruan family again, let alone Ruan Jiaojiao’s name, but now she said it out loud.

“They will get their retribution.” Zhao Hua covered her tear-stained face.

She was not stupid. She now understood that everything that happened at home was related to the Ruan family. But she didn’t want to know why Ruan Jiaojiao was ungrateful and repaid kindness with enmity. She just wanted to know when the Ruan family would be finished.

So that the world can have some justice.

After crying, Zhao Hua quickly wiped away her tears and started working, just like every time in the past eighteen years.

She first coaxed her mother out of the quilt, calmed her down, and handed her an apple. Then she squatted aside, watched her mother eat the apple, and whispered: “Mom, our family will soon be able to truly overturn the verdict, and we will soon be reunited. You have to get better soon, and then we will go to pick up Dad, Uncle, and brother together…”

After the news that the Zhao family case would be retried next month was made public, a group of spectators picked up the melons on time again.

At this point, many people have become a little smarter.

“What kind of case is this? Why does it need to be retried? What does the Zhao family do?”

“Zhao Group, they were very rich before, but a few months ago they were arrested and their family was destroyed. How come there is no hidden story like the Lin family case?”

“I’ll tell you a secret rumor. Ruan Jiaojiao, the daughter found by the Ruan Group, was once the daughter of the Zhao family. A few months ago, the Zhao family found their biological child in the mountains, but they didn’t send Ruan Jiaojiao back to the mountains. Then Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly disappeared, and when she reappeared in front of the public, she was the daughter of the Ruan family. Before the Ruan family announced the recovery of Ruan Jiaojiao, the Zhao family had a car accident, and everyone on the Internet was cursing the Zhao family, so I didn’t dare to say anything. You can think about it carefully.”

“What the hell, did the Zhao family treat Ruan Jiaojiao so badly that after Ruan Jiaojiao was accidentally found, the Ruan Group took revenge on the Zhao family???”

“Come on, why is the person upstairs so stupid? Ruan Jiaojiao can play several musical instruments. Her manners and appearance show that she is a rich woman. How could the Zhao family abuse her? At that time, I thought she couldn’t be abused. But the whole Internet was like crazy, praising her and feeling sorry for her. They were so good at flattering her. To be honest, even if you flatter her, she would not give you a dime to spend. Is it that serious?”

“There are many secrets of wealthy families, and we can’t be sure that the Zhao family didn’t abuse them. They only gave them material things, but also abused their spirits?”

“The people above are drunk but I am the only one sober. It’s because of people like you that people who know the inside story don’t dare to speak out. At that time, the Zhao family was in trouble and the whole network scolded them. If it was said that Ruan Jiaojiao was his adopted daughter, he would probably still be scolded by you. After all, you still think that it might be abused in an invisible place, ugh!”

“Just because the Ruan family has repeatedly harmed Lin Zhiyu and repeatedly pretended to be innocent, it’s like a complete criminal law. It’s clear that the Ruan family is not a good thing, and Ruan Jiaojiao is in trouble too.”

“Hey, I want to know how Lin Zhiyu offended the Ruan family. Why did he kill them so ruthlessly? First, they slandered him, then they murdered him. Did Lin Zhiyu dig up their ancestral graves?”

“……”

Did Lin Zhiyu dig up the Ruan family’s ancestral grave? This question was raised by many people.

Lin Zhiyu also wanted to ask the same question once.

After all, if he hadn’t done something extremely evil, how could he have ended up like this?

But later he found out that the only thing he did wrong was –

Just didn’t join in the group’s pampering of Ruan Jiaojiao.

Sometimes in his dreams at midnight, he would wonder what would have happened if he had agreed to Ruan Jiaojiao’s confession…

But no matter how you argue, it seems that he will not have a good ending.

After all, he is not the male protagonist. In such a twisted world, it would be easy for the male protagonist to kill him, and he might be even more cruel than the Ruan family.

The only way is to overturn the core of this twisted world and let this group of people…

Never be able to turn over.

*

After getting off work, Lin Zhiyu went to the largest supermarket nearby and bought some fresh fruits and several boxes of high-quality tea.

You can’t go to see the elders of the Xie family empty-handed.

As a result, when I drove home to pick up my father and sister, I found that they also bought a lot of fruits and a set of high-end purple clay tea sets.

Lin Zhiyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Dad, didn’t you tell me to buy it?”

“I asked your sister to send you a message. Just focus on your work and we will go buy it,” said Lin’s father.

“Yeah, brother, didn’t you check your phone.” Lin Zhaoqiu, who was dressed very heroically, rushed to Lin Zhiyu and asked, “Did you mute it?”

“I rushed to buy things after work, and forgot to unmute my phone.” Lin Zhiyu smiled, “It’s okay, this is also good, with tea leaves and tea sets, it’s more complete, and we can also eat fruit together.”

As they were talking, Lin Zhiyu’s phone screen lit up.

“Gege, we are almost there. Where are you? The Yazhu Hall is in the capital’s small building. Don’t forget it.”

Lin Zhaoqiu saw it at a glance and couldn’t help but smile deliberately.

“Oh my, I can’t believe that Xiao You, with his tough appearance of 1.9 meters tall, can speak so cutely. He even said ‘Don’t forget’. Oh, I can’t stand it, it’s so corny.”

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Father Lin’s eyes changed slightly and his brows furrowed.

Lin Zhiyu patted Lin Zhaoqiu on the forehead and said with a smile: “Alright, quickly pack up. He is only eighteen years old, and it is abnormal for him to talk like an old man.”

“Oh, you’re still protecting him. Only eighteen-year-old boys would do this. Only eighteen-year-old boys would do this to their girlfriends… Okay, okay, you guys are good brothers.” Lin Zhaoqiu curled his lips, smiled, and ran away quickly.

Father Lin almost choked on his saliva and suddenly started coughing: “Cough… cough cough!”

“Dad, are you okay?” Lin Zhiyu couldn’t help but pat his father’s back worriedly, “Have you been eating too much salty food recently? I told you to eat less fried pickled cabbage in the morning.”

“It has nothing to do with that. I just choked on my saliva.” Father Lin hurriedly walked away, covering it up, “Hurry up, they are almost there.”

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Beijing Cottage.

Jingcheng Xiaozhu is a well-known private restaurant in Beijing. It is very confidential and the food tastes good.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a waiter came to greet them and took Lin Zhiyu and the other two to the outside of Yazhu Hall.

“This way, please.” The waiter took them to a corner of the corridor.

Before Lin Zhiyu could push open the door of the box, he heard a creaky sound and the door was opened from the inside.

“Gege, you are here!”

Xie Youzhou opened the door. His well-fitting suit made his body, which was even more perfect than that of a male model, even more outstanding. It also gave him a bit of abstinence that tightly sealed off his overflowing hormones. His broad shoulders, narrow waist, monkey arms, and long legs were simply…

Lin Zhaoqiu exclaimed it was the best.

“Oh my God, oh my God, I didn’t look at you carefully the last time I saw you. Now, Xiaoyou, you are really… amazing! Amazing!” Lin Zhaoqiu surrounded Xie Youzhou, exclaiming in admiration.

“With this figure and this face… I don’t know which girl will be lucky enough to marry him in the future.”

“Qiuqiu, how can you talk like that?” Father Lin patted Lin Zhaoqiu on the back of his head.

“Oh, Dad, my brother slapped me on the forehead, and you slapped me on the back of the head. I’m going to be silly because of you.”

It was also the first time that Lin Zhiyu saw Xie Youzhou wearing a suit. He felt that the originally youthful little wolfdog seemed to have turned into the wolf king on the snowfields of North America. His aura was intimidating and eye-catching, and even he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

Lin Zhiyu’s heart beat faster involuntarily, but he didn’t realize what it meant. He just felt a little uncomfortable. He turned his eyes away: “Where’s Auntie?”

“My mom just went to the bathroom.” Xie Youzhou took the things from Lin’s father and Lin Zhiyu in a very considerate and polite manner and then said to Lin’s father: “Uncle, please sit down. This purple clay tea set looks really good. My mom likes purple clay cups the most. Did you pick them out, uncle?”

Father Lin smiled slightly: “I just picked it randomly, as long as your family likes it.”

“I’m sure she’ll like it.” Xie Youzhou put away the things solemnly, then picked up the teapot to pour tea for the few people. “The tea here is made from high-quality Dahongpao, and it tastes pretty good.”

“Brother, my mother also brought gifts for uncle and sister Zhaoqiu. They are at your side. You can show them to uncle and sister Zhaoqiu to see if they like them.” Xie Youzhou said as he skillfully heated the cups and chopsticks for several people with hot water.

Sure enough, Lin Zhiyu found a few boxes of gifts from the chairs inside the table and took them.

“This looks too expensive. Auntie has spent a lot of money on it.”

“It’s not that expensive, just a small gift, the packaging is just to scare people.” Xie Youzhou smiled and said, “My mother prepared it especially because she was happy, so you can’t refuse it.”

Lin Zhaoqiu stared at Xie Youzhou, and her eyes gradually changed. Why did she feel that this scene was inexplicably similar to…

What about the son-in-law meeting his father-in-law on TV?

But the son-in-law’s target was not her, but her brother.

Hurry up…..hut your brain!!!

This idea is simply toxic.

Lin Zhaoqiu slapped her forehead.

Lin Zhiyu looked at his sister strangely, stood up, and said, “I’m going to the bathroom first, Qiuqiu, stop taking pictures, it’s really stupid to take pictures again.”

Lin Zhaoqiu covered her face.

Lin Zhiyu walked out of the door and, under the guidance of the waiter, crossed the corridor, passed the pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters, stepped across the small stone bridge over the mountains and water in the courtyard, and finally came to the bathroom on the other side of the restaurant.

The bathroom was on the left side of an extremely spacious corridor. Lin Zhiyu was about to turn left after getting off the bridge but suddenly saw several staff members appear on the right side of the corridor, carrying a big-bellied vase that was more than one meter high.

In an instant, Lin Zhiyu’s soul was fiercely grasped by a hand.

The scene in front changed violently. The big-bellied vase mixed with bizarre light spots filled Lin Zhiyu’s eyes. A huge feeling of suffocation came over him, completely enveloping him. His hands and feet suddenly became numb, and his ears were congested as if he had lost all feeling…

Xie Youzhou followed Lin Zhiyu out less than a minute after he left, wanting to discuss something with him. However, as soon as he passed the roadside pavilion, he saw his gege standing stiffly at the end of the stone bridge. Then he looked at the staff carrying a huge vase in the corridor, and Xie Youzhou’s face changed suddenly.

He rushed over as fast as he could: “gege! gege?!!”

In just a dozen seconds, Lin Zhiyu was already sweating profusely, his lips turned pale, and he glanced at Xie Youzhou who was guarding his back with his chest.

“I’m fine, I just had a little low blood sugar.”

Xie Youzhou felt so much pain in his heart that his voice was a little hoarse: “gege, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”

“It’s okay, it was just a moment.”

Lin Zhiyu held his breath and deliberately looked towards the vase. Waves of numbness buzzed deep in his brain, but it was much better than before.

He can.

Yes, he could completely overcome the past, just like he overcame the nightmares that once haunted him day by day and were now being stripped away from him at night.

Lin Zhiyu straightened his back, took a step forward, one step at a time, and slowly exhaled all the discomfort with his breath.

He walked into the bathroom, washed his face, and looked at himself in the mirror with fair skin and black hair.

Yes, he is fine now.

Those nightmares will eventually be completely cleared from the depths of his memory that produced darkness. Those who harmed him in his last life will never be able to occupy and waste his current life.

Even…the people around him will be affected.

By the time Lin Zhiyu left the bathroom, he no longer looked panicked or pale.

The sky is bright and clear, and as gentle as jade.

When he walked back to the box, Lin’s father and Lin Zhaoqiu didn’t notice anything wrong. Lin Zhaoqiu even grabbed his arm and acted coquettishly. It seemed that Lin Zhiyu would always be the pillar of the Lin family and the reliable and strong mountain of the Lin family.

No matter what he’s been through.

Xie’s mother, who had already returned to the box, didn’t notice anything wrong. She smiled and called Lin Zhiyu to come and try the snacks that the waiter had just brought.

But Xie Youzhou, who had been looking at Lin Zhiyu from behind, felt so heartbroken…

The pain made him miserable.
