Chapter 629: Who's Afraid of Whom
Chapter 629: Who’s Afraid of Whom
Zhou Chengsen noticed that Tang Ruan’s face was still a bit pale. She was still just a young girl, and his tone softened involuntarily. "They keep coming to see you, don’t they? No worries, every time she comes to see you, I’ll come with you twice, thrice, four times, five times, even ten times if I have to! We’ll see if they dare to come after you again."
His words, though gentle, were strong and reassuring.
Tang Ruan: "..."
Zhou Chengsen thought for a moment and decided that taking the initiative would be better. After all, he had to work and couldn’t always be around to help Tang Ruan. "I have two more days off. Tomorrow, I’ll come with you to scare her off. Scare her twice, and she won’t dare to come after you again."
He would make sure she was scared enough this time!
If she wanted to play crazy, they would see who was crazier.
Who was afraid of whom?
Zhou Chengsen wasn’t afraid of anything.
Tang Ruan: "..."
Zhou Chengsen thought Tang Ruan wouldn’t want to stay alone tonight. He wanted to see them off, but he didn’t know if she was staying at Doctor Gao’s place or a hotel, so he didn’t ask directly. "Where does Doctor Gao live? I’ll take you back."
Gao Jie: "No need, I came by bicycle. I still need to help Tang Ruan pack her things and take her to my place. You go home! We can get back on our own. Tang Ruan needs to ride the bicycle to my place; it’s far from the hospital, and it’s not convenient without a bike."
Tang Ruan felt bad for troubling him any further. It was already past four, and he still had to go back to Cun Li. "I’m sorry to trouble you again. You should go home quickly!"
Zhou Chengsen didn’t insist. He knew it wasn’t convenient to go to work without a bike, and with Gao Jie accompanying her, it was safe. "See you tomorrow."
He then greeted Gao Jie and drove off in his jeep.
Tang Ruan and Gao Jie watched the jeep until it disappeared around the corner.
Gao Jie sighed. "He’s a reliable person. Your uncle always said that Zhao Chenglei was a rare reliable man, and his younger brother is the same. They’re a good family."
Tang Ruan didn’t say anything, but she heard and agreed with Gao Jie. Her thoughts, however, were still elsewhere.
Gao Jie, seeing her niece still lost in thought, said, "Let’s go. Pack your things and come stay at my place. You shouldn’t stay here alone; your uncle and I won’t feel at ease."

Jiang Xia and the others returned to Capital City and first took Tang Ruan’s parents home.
As soon as they got home, Tang Ruan’s parents called Gao Jie to report their safe return. They then learned that Feng Bing’s mother had gone to see Tang Ruan and that Zhou Chengsen had scared her off.
Tang Ruan’s mother was both angry and worried. After giving her daughter a thorough warning, she turned to her husband. "Tomorrow, go find your colleague and have his friend keep his wife in check! What kind of people are they? We owe a lot to Zhou Chengsen this time!"
Tang Ruan’s father was also furious. "I’ll talk to him tomorrow."
Tang Ruan’s mother: "Maybe we should transfer Tang Ruan back to a hospital here! Now that they’ve found her there, I’m really worried. Besides, Tang Ruan isn’t young anymore; it’s time for her to get married."
Tang Ruan’s father deeply regretted introducing his colleague’s son to his daughter, even though his daughter and wife never blamed him. He felt incredibly guilty. "Alright, I’ll look into it. But transferring isn’t easy; it requires an application and an available position. As for finding a partner and getting married, I’ll leave it to Tang Ruan’s choice. If she finds a good match, that’s great, but if she doesn’t, that’s fine too. We shouldn’t interfere too much; it might not be a good thing."
Tang Ruan’s mother: "If she doesn’t get married, who will take care of her when she’s old? We can’t be with her forever."
Tang Ruan’s father: "Tang Ruan has a stable job, and she’ll have a pension when she’s old. She can hire someone to take care of her. Besides, there’s Xiao Jie. They have a good relationship, and Xiao Jie won’t abandon Tang Ruan."
Tang Ruan’s mother didn’t say that while the siblings had a good relationship now, Xiao Jie was about to get married. After marriage, he would have his own family and children to take care of, and he wouldn’t have much time to look after Tang Ruan.
Even if he had the heart to take care of them, he still had to see if his daughter-in-law was willing!
Moreover, his son would also grow old. It wouldn’t be practical to have his son’s children take care of his daughter.
His own children might not all be filial, so how could he expect his nephew or niece to take care of them?
Life is too long, and these are very real issues.
Her husband’s siblings were very close now, always ready to help each other whenever there was a problem, responding at a moment’s notice. She thought the next generation would be the same.
But one generation is different from another!
Who could predict what the future held?
“Let’s talk about marriage later. First, let’s get Tang Ruan transferred back!”
“Yes, we should ask Tang Ruan’s opinion. Transferring back would make it easier for Feng Bing’s mother to find her. Don’t forget, they live in the Capital City.”
Tang Ruan’s mother: “...”
She was about to go mad!
*
Jiang Xia only found out about this the next evening from Fuyan Zhang, who was Tang Ruan’s best friend and confidante.
Ou Mingling had told Fuyan Zhang and even passed on Tang Ruan’s gratitude, saying that when they returned, they would invite them for a meal.
Today, Feng Bing was being sent back to the psychiatric hospital in the Capital City. Tang Ruan and Chen Sen went to see Feng Bing and his mother.
Feng Bing had been agitated again.
It really scared Feng Bing’s mother!
She hadn’t expected Chen Sen to be serious!
She even saw Chen Sen playing with a small knife on his keychain.
Chen Sen had also mentioned that after the New Year, when on holiday, he and Tang Ruan would visit Feng Bing and his family in the Capital City.
Feng Bing’s mother was so scared that she looked at Chen Sen as if he were a ghost!
Tang Ruan didn’t know what Chen Sen had done that day to scare Feng Bing’s mother so much.
Tang Ruan was curious, Ou Mingling was curious, and Fuyan Zhang was curious, so they wanted Jiang Xia to find out.
At 8:30 PM, after the three children were asleep, Jiang Xia told Zhao Chenglei about it. She was also a bit curious: “Do you think Second Brother can really scare someone like that? How did he do it?”
Having not done it for three nights, Zhao Chenglei pulled Jiang Xia into his arms: “There’s nothing Second Brother can’t handle. He’s always shameless. If the other party is sick, he’s even sicker.”
With that, he kissed her soft neck, ending the conversation and starting a grand affair between them.
The next morning, after Jiang Xia fed the elder brother, Zhao Chenglei took the children out to be looked after by the grandparents.
Jiang Xia got up, changed her clothes, and went to school. She noticed that Zhao Chenglei had prepared a turtleneck sweater for her.
It wasn’t that cold, and she didn’t want to wear a turtleneck. Riding a bicycle would make her hot, and she had a lot of classes today, so she would be running around a lot.
Jiang Xia went to the closet and found a low-neck sweater to change into.
While combing her hair in front of the mirror, she noticed the marks he had left on her neck and collarbone from the night before. They were very deep.
Jiang Xia had to take out the turtleneck sweater again.
Zhao Chenglei walked into the room: “Breakfast is ready.”
Jiang Xia pointed to her neck and collarbone, glaring at him.
Zhao Chenglei pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips: “I’ll be more careful next time.”
He was usually very cautious and rarely left marks on exposed skin, but sometimes he couldn’t control himself.
Jiang Xia changed into the turtleneck sweater, had breakfast, kissed the three children, and went to school.
Today was a busy day for Jiang Xia.
Yesterday afternoon, Zhao Chenglei had already brought the clothes back from the train station.
Today, she needed to find someone at school to help her sell the clothes. (End of Chapter)
