Chapter 398 Then I'll keep it here for now.
Sister Ru lowered her head slightly, her gaze falling on the phone in her hand.
Her fingers slid swiftly, quickly finding Susu's phone number, and then she pressed the dial button without hesitation.
My heart has been in my throat ever since the accident happened.
After all, Su Su and the others are young people in their early twenties with no experience in taking care of children, so Sister Ru is really worried about her baby.
The phone had barely touched my ear when the melodious ringtone seemed to play for only a brief moment before the call was quickly connected.
Lin Yourong's voice, tinged with a slight smile, came through the receiver: "Hello, Sister Ru, how are things on your end?"
Hearing her relaxed and carefree voice, Sister Ru felt a tension ease in her heart.
As he slowly walked down the steps, he replied, "I've almost finished dealing with things here; I just closed the case."
"How much compensation do you need?" Lin Yourong asked with concern.
"The Rolls-Royce has been taken for damage assessment, and the specific situation is still unclear." After saying this, Sister Ru paused slightly, then immediately asked, "Susu, how about you guys? Is Weiwei being good? Has she been crying and looking for me?"
Lin Yourong chuckled softly on the other end of the phone: "She didn't cry or make a scene, Sister Ru, do you want to say a few words to her?"
Sister Ru immediately smiled gently: "Okay, then give the phone to Weiwei."
"Mm," Lin Yourong replied.
The phone receiver fell silent for a brief moment.
Immediately afterwards, a whooshing sound of wind came, which showed that the wind on Orange Isle must have been quite strong.
After a while, Wang Weiwei's childish voice came through the receiver: "Mommy, where are you now?"
Sister Ru's previously tense nerves were instantly melted by that soft, sweet voice.
She lowered her voice and said gently, "Weiwei, Mommy has finished taking care of things and will come to pick you up soon. Have you been listening to Aunt Susu and Uncle Shuai?"
Wang Weiwei didn't seem to pay attention to Sister Ru's question afterward, but instead exclaimed "Ah!" in surprise.
"Mom, could you come find me a little later? I don't want to leave yet!"
Standing at the bottom of the steps, Sister Ru's face darkened slightly upon hearing these words.
Even though she was overwhelmed with worry, she was still constantly concerned about her child, afraid that he might get hurt or suffer some kind of accident. But the little guy, on the other hand, was having so much fun that he forgot all about home.
"Weiwei, you little rascal, you've been playing so much you've forgotten about your mother!" Sister Ru's reproachful voice had barely reached her when the conversation began.
Weiwei hurriedly and flusteredly explained, "No, Mom! The candied hawthorn that the handsome uncle gave me was so delicious, it was made of strawberries. My brother also bought me very sweet milk, and there were little bits in it."
Listening to Wang Weiwei's excited description, Sister Ru had some doubts in her heart, so she asked, "Brother, which brother?"
"Mom, the brother who got out of the car you hit! And Grandpa Luo bought me a really big balloon!" Wang Weiwei's voice was full of joy and excitement.
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru slowly raised her head, lost in thought, and gazed at the distant sky.
Feeling the gentle breeze, she was filled with emotion.
Today's matter has been resolved satisfactorily...
She said softly, "Weiwei, you can play, but you can't run around. You must stay with Aunt Susu and the others at all times. Be good, okay?"
On the other end of the phone, Wang Weiwei cheerfully replied, "Okay, Mom, I'll be very good. I'll give the phone to Aunt Susu now."
"Okay," Sister Ru replied.
After a slight gust of wind noise, Lin Yourong's voice came through the receiver again.
"Sister Ru, since you've finished dealing with things over there, come over here first. We're about to head back to the parking lot."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru nodded and replied, "I'll be right there."
Lin Yourong continued, "There's no rush. It would take us at least half an hour to walk."
"it is good."
"By the way, Sister Ru, my dad will be coming to Xiahe Street to treat us to dinner. You and Yujia can come along too."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru was slightly taken aback, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.
Uncle Lin is treating us to dinner?
Since Yu Huan is here, he must want to introduce his son-in-law to his friends, right?
Su Su mentioned that Wang Han wanted Yu Huan to appear on his show. Could it be that Wang Han will also be on it?
Sister Ru changed her mind and said with a smile, "Su Su, I'm so sorry, I've already caused you a lot of trouble today."
"Sister Ru, please don't say that. Aunt Qin will be there too, just a few familiar elders and friends."
"Alright then, I'll accept your offer," Sister Ru paused, then said with a smile, "Weiwei had so much fun with you guys today, she probably doesn't want to come home with me."
Lin Yourong chuckled softly on the other end of the phone and said jokingly, "It's okay, just leave it here with me for now."
"That won't do. You and Yu Huan can have more children, but Weiwei is my only precious baby. If you raise her and then don't give her back to me, I'll have nowhere to cry."
Sister Ru paused in her humorous tone, then immediately got down to business:
"Susu, I'm leaving now. By the time I get there, you'll probably be almost at the parking lot."
"Okay, Sister Ru, please be careful on your way." Lin Yourong said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I just learned my lesson, so I'll definitely keep my eyes and ears open!" Sister Ru replied confidently.
Lin Yourong responded with a light smile.
After hanging up the phone, Sister Ru put her phone back in her crossbody bag and then quickened her pace toward the small Audi parked in a parking space on the side of the front yard.
As she approached the car, she lowered her head, her gaze falling on the faded paint on the right front bumper and the dented fender...
Sister Ru shook her head gently, her face full of helplessness.
She secretly planned to take the car to the 4S shop for repairs tomorrow, which was going to be another hassle...
Sister Ru stepped forward, opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, skillfully fastened her seatbelt, and then started the car.
The little Audi emitted a soft rumble as it smoothly pulled out of the parking space. The scenery outside the window kept receding as the little Audi slowly drove towards Orange Isle.
Throughout the journey, Ru Jie's mind was filled with flashes of memories of the day's events.
Let her thoughts gradually drift away.
She now knows for certain that Luo Ruiyang, the "Uncle Luo" Yu Huan mentioned and Su Su's uncle's former colleague, is actually the chairman of Jiangxin Group, a leading local real estate company.
Recalling her mother's repeated admonitions to make sure she got along well with Susu, and her unequivocal statement that Susu was definitely a benefactor in her life.
As the saying goes, "Walking a hundred steps on your own is not as good as being helped by a benefactor." Having a mentor to guide you is not as valuable as having a benefactor to assist you.
That makes perfect sense. What was originally a terrible and troublesome accident was resolved so easily after only a few minor ripples.
She drove across Yuelu Mountain, crossing the river bridge from the west bank to the east bank.
Despite it being Saturday, the bridge was bustling with traffic.
A cool breeze blew in through the cracks in the car window, making it feel comfortable and pleasant on my face.
Sister Ru looked at the slowly moving traffic ahead and glanced at her watch.
I called Susu at 3:50, and it's only a little past 4 now.
She calmly drove her little Audi from the auxiliary road in the middle of the cross-river bridge to Orange Isle, heading straight to the old spot where the minor collision had occurred.
Perhaps because there were no little ones making a fuss in the back, Sister Ru smoothly parked the car in the side this time, then unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
A familiar scene came into view.
With the bustling crowds gone, everything has returned to calm.
Sister Ru walked to the roadside, crossed her arms, and stood quietly for a while, her eyes scanning the small groups of people returning home.
Before long, a graceful figure wearing a fisherman's hat and a mask suddenly appeared. Xing Yujia, who was walking beside her, was about the same height, but was obviously a size larger.
Two girls who are 1.7 meters tall are quite eye-catching in a crowd.
Behind them, Yu Huan, with one arm around Wang Weiwei, was talking to Luo Ruiyang on the side.
Wang Weiwei had one arm around Yu Huan's neck and the other hand holding a Pleasant Goat helium balloon.
The little guy, perched high above the crowd, spotted Sister Ru at a glance.
The mother and daughter met eyes.
She immediately squirmed a few times in Yu Huan's arms and said in a clear voice, "Handsome Uncle, I saw my mom! Please put me down first!"
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Huan followed the little guy's gaze and indeed saw Sister Ru.
"Okay, then slow down and don't run around." Yu Huan instructed, pausing slightly as she gently put Wang Weiwei down.
With a helium balloon tied to her wrist, Wang Weiwei immediately took off running happily towards Sister Ru, pulling the helium balloon up and down behind her.
As Sister Ru watched Wang Weiwei running towards her, a gentle smile bloomed on her face. She squatted down and opened her arms to welcome her.
Wang Weiwei buried her face in Sister Ru's arms and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, I missed you so much!"
Sister Ru picked up Wang Weiwei and kissed her a few times on her little face, but said, "You heartless bastard, you were saying on the phone that you didn't want me to come!"
Wang Weiwei hugged Sister Ru's neck and said sweetly, "No, Weiwei loves Mommy the most!"
Sister Ru stood up, looked gratefully at Lin Yourong who had approached, and said, "Susu, my son is very naughty and has caused you a lot of trouble, hasn't he?"
Lin Yourong's voice, tinged with laughter, came through the mask: "Weiwei is very obedient and not naughty at all."
“Exactly!” Wang Weiwei chimed in. “Weiwei is such a good girl! Aunt Susu and the handsome uncle all adore Weiwei. Mom, don’t talk nonsense!”
Hearing these quirky words, Sister Ru chuckled and tapped her on the head.
Her gaze fell on Luo Ruiyang behind her, and she said with gratitude, "Thanks to everyone today, especially President Luo, who is so magnanimous and didn't hold it against me—"
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Ruiyang laughed heartily, interrupting her with a cheerful tone, "It's nothing, don't worry about it. No one was hurt, and we all just met by chance!"
If Luo Ruiyang's expressionless face had previously made Sister Ru feel intimidated, he now resembled a kind and gentle elder, making her feel much closer to him.
Sister Ru's lips twitched slightly, as if she was about to say something flattering.
At this moment, Yu Huan smiled and said, "Uncle Luo is magnanimous, Sister Ru, don't take it too seriously. It's fate that we've met."
Luo Ruiyang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Xiao Yu is right. Fate is so wonderful in this world. A small accident brought us all together. We should try to visit each other more often in the future."
Sister Ru held Wang Weiwei in one arm and used the other to adjust the helium balloon string wrapped around the little girl's slender wrist.
Upon hearing this, she quickly replied, "Mr. Luo, if there's anything you need me for in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. Anyway, Xiao Tang has my phone number."
Luo Ruiyang replied with a friendly smile, "Okay, I certainly won't hesitate to help if you need it in the future."
A gentle breeze brushed past my ears.
With a smile in her voice, Yu Huan asked, "Uncle Luo, shouldn't someone be here to pick you up?"
Luo Ruiyang glanced at his Rolex and said, "Yes, I've already told my secretary to send someone to pick me up here at 4:30. They should be here soon. Since you have dinner appointments tonight, you should go ahead and not let me delay you."
As he spoke, he turned to the side and looked at his two children behind him: "Haohao, Yueyue, come and say goodbye to your older brothers and sisters."
Luo Hao, who had been hiding behind his father to avoid Sister Ru's gaze, had no choice but to follow Luo Yue forward and say, "Goodbye, brother and sister."
Luo Yue waved more shyly and whispered two words: "Goodbye."
Compared to the brother and sister, Wang Weiwei waved her little hands excitedly and shouted in her childish voice, "Goodbye, brothers and sisters! I want to play with you again next time!"
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru laughed and said, "The generational order has suddenly become a mess."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Yu Huanle chuckled and said, "Children speak without restraint."
Wang Weiwei suddenly slapped her forehead, as if realizing something was wrong. She muttered to herself, "Oh right, I should call Grandpa's son and daughter 'uncle' and 'aunt'..."
Luo Ruiyang stepped forward and walked to Sister Ru's side.
He pinched Wang Weiwei's little face and said kindly, "It's okay, Weiwei can call me whatever she wants."
Wang Weiwei's eyes sparkled, and she nodded her chin: "Great! Grandpa Luo is the best! Thank you for buying me such a beautiful balloon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Luo Hao again, blinked her big eyes, and said, "Thank you, Uncle, for paying for Grandpa Luo!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Sister Ru couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to herself that it was normal for a big boss like Luo Ruiyang not to carry cash when he went out.
At that moment, a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly drove up and stopped on the other side of the road.
Luo Ruiyang glanced at the car and said with a smile, "The car is here, Xiao Yu. Let's get together again after the New Year when your uncle comes to Xingcheng."
"No problem, let's get together again then. Take care, Uncle Luo." Yu Huan smiled and nodded.
