"Ah …" Guan Yunjin's face tightened. Since we were eating in the living room, and Guan Ruolan's voice wasn't soft, everyone looked at us fervently.
"Xiao Lan, what do you mean? Mom and Dad are busy with work abroad, so they can't come back to see you often. I hope you can understand. Even if you have complaints, you can't say such things. If your mom hears it, she will feel terrible," Guan Yunjin said angrily.
"Hmph, you know what I mean, I don't want to say more," Guan Ruolan said disapprovingly.
Guan Yunjin looked at Guan Ruolan's determined face, then looked at me. After a moment of hesitation, he asked in a low voice, "You all know?"
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it!"
Guan Ruolan glared at him. Although Guan Yunjin didn't use his connections to intimidate others these past two days, he was a bit pretentious. Before he came back, the Guan family had a stomach full of complaints about him. They wanted to take the opportunity to 'denounce' Guan Yunjin, but because of my existence, they could only pretend to be deaf and mute. They even nodded and bowed to Guan Yunjin, which made him feel good.
Guan Ruolan saw it all, and she wasn't very happy. She just wanted to give Guan Yunjin some face at home, and wanted to find a chance to scold him. When we came out to eat supper, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Aunt all wanted to come with two cars, but Guan Yunjin said that he was afraid that I wouldn't be happy if there were too many people, so they could only give up.
I can't deny that Second Uncle and the others wanted to build a relationship with me, and develop their own businesses, but Guan Yunjin was worried that they would take the opportunity to complain about him, so he didn't want to.
Guan Ruolan didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of others, but when that so-called mother was mentioned, it made Guan Ruolan unhappy.
Guan Yunjin wasn't stupid, and he could roughly guess. It had been more than twenty years, and there were very few people who knew about it. To be precise, there were only three people who knew, him, Elder Guan, and Guan Ruolan's stepmother. "Xiao Lan, it's all my fault.
Back then, I was dissolute, and I was greedy for pleasure. I did a lot of wrong things, and I also let down many good girls. Your mother was one of them. I decided to hide this matter from you after careful consideration. After all, you were still young, and I was afraid that it would be hard for you to accept it. Dad was caught in the middle, and there were many things that I had to consider. Sigh, in short, I'm not a competent father. "After saying that, Guan Yunjin slapped himself in the face, and he used quite a bit of strength.
Guan Ruolan covered her mouth, and tears flowed out uncontrollably. In fact, she wasn't a girl who liked to cry. On the contrary, Guan Ruolan was very strong. In the past, when she went to school, other people's children were picked up by their parents. Because Elder Guan was also very busy at that time, she usually had a special driver in charge, so the children thought that the driver was her father. Sometimes, classmates would hitch a ride with her, and it became a joke.
When there was a parent-teacher conference, Elder Guan would personally attend. Although the parents respected Elder Guan, her classmates liked to isolate her. These things, Guan Ruolan wouldn't tell Elder Guan about it. After all, there were always disadvantages to the familial affection between generations.
Now that Guan Ruolan had grown up, she was still envious when she saw those children go to school. Now that Guan Yunjin took the initiative to apologize, it made Guan Ruolan cry.
She leaned on my shoulder and didn't want to be seen by others.
After crying for a while, Guan Ruolan gradually stopped and wiped her tears with a tissue. "I don't want to argue with you about this. You just need to provide me with some clues on how to find my biological mother."
"Uh … This, I have to recall." Guan Yunjin was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, if you think of anything, remember to contact me." Guan Ruolan took a deep breath and didn't want to continue to lose her temper, so as not to be a joke to others.
In fact, long ago, she had some guesses. It was understandable to say that a father's love was as heavy as a mountain and not easy to express, but the care of a mother's love was often silent. From that woman, she couldn't feel the sincerity, more like a perfunctory.
However, Guan Ruolan didn't dare to think in this direction. This was also the reason why, a few years ago, she became a new member of my family and stayed for a year or two before leaving.
Although the living environment wasn't that great, and it was a world of difference compared to the convenient life in the capital city, she didn't dislike it at all. Instead, she truly felt a sense of familial love, especially my mother's careful care, which made Guan Ruolan feel very warm.
At that time, Guan Ruolan had lived a fast-paced life in the city for a long time, and it was the first time she came into contact with the peaceful countryside and simple villagers. So, even though her injuries had healed, she still chose to stay. As a way to repay the kindness, she patiently taught me martial arts. Even if I gave up and didn't want to improve, Guan Ruolan didn't get angry.
But later, there was an important matter in the capital, and she had a big fight with me. Disheartened, Guan Ruolan decided to leave.
Now that I thought about it, I had to thank my mother. If she hadn't treated Guan Ruolan like her own daughter, I wouldn't have been able to walk on the path of martial arts, and I wouldn't have been able to stand above all the heroes in the martial arts world today.
"No problem. I will try my best to think about it. My good daughter, don't be angry. Hurry and eat something. You only had a bowl of noodles this morning, and you've been busy with the guests and friends all day. You must be tired." Guan Yunjin nodded.
I gently patted Guan Ruolan's shoulder, and she lowered her head to eat.
"Right, Xiao Zhuang, if you don't mind, you should come to our Guan family tomorrow morning. Grandpa's funeral is going to be held. Although you and Lan Lan haven't gotten married yet, it will happen sooner or later. According to the customs, your name will be added to the tombstone. What do you think?" Guan Yunjin asked anxiously.
In fact, he and Guan Ruolan had already discussed this issue, and they had basically reached an agreement. However, the most important thing was to see my attitude.
"Of course, it's not a problem. I'm a member of the Guan family. If you need my help, just tell me." I agreed without hesitation.
