Chapter 2048: Chapter 2048: The Plane Crash Turmoil (Part 1)
Hong Ling knew there was no room for negotiation, nodded with teary eyes, and quietly asked her, "Sis, can I visit you next time I’m free?"
Hong Ping immediately understood that she hadn’t given up on Ruan Hao yet. A wave of helplessness and irony surged in her heart. She let go and said with a hardened heart, "Focus on your studies. Don’t let your mind wander to things that aren’t yours. I will visit you guys when I have time."
She didn’t mention a word about allowing her to visit.
Hong Ling was somewhat unwilling and wanted to say something, but from behind, Mrs. Hong in the car shouted angrily, "Why aren’t you on the car yet? Do you need someone to drag you up and send you off?!!!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
An angry Mrs. Hong was someone nobody from the Hong Family dared to provoke. Even if she was unwilling, Hong Ling could only turn around and get in the car.
As soon as Hong Ling got into the car, Mrs. Hong immediately instructed the driver to start driving, not saying a word to Hong Ping throughout.
Hong Ping watched as the car drove away, her tears finally falling uncontrollably. Ruan Jun stepped forward, held her in his arms, and comforted her by patting her back, "When things get better, we’ll go back and visit Mom and Dad."
Hong Ping cried even louder in his arms and muffled her apology, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
She knew her parents were somewhat superficial. When she told her family about marrying Ruan Jun, she hadn’t fully disclosed his situation because she believed what Ruan Jun didn’t have now, he would in the future.
She thought that no matter how dissatisfied her parents might be, they wouldn’t go too far for her sake. Little did she know it would end up like this.
But parents are given by birth, and she had no choice in the matter. Even so, she could only wrong Ruan Jun and couldn’t abandon her parents.
So she felt immensely sorry for Ruan Jun. Her mother hadn’t shown Ruan Jun a kind face all these days, which made her heart ache, but she felt helpless.
Today, she made this tough decision to personally send them off after much inner conflict, afraid that if they stayed longer, things would become even uglier and truly irretrievable. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Ruan Jun didn’t say anything, only gently patting his wife in his arms.
It was in the evening when Jiaojiao learned that the Hong Family had left. She didn’t know all the twists and turns involved, thinking they simply left as they had said last night and even felt they had a bit of integrity.
After having dinner at home, Ruan Hao had to catch a train in Changling overnight, as he was going to another province for a business trip the next day and had to catch a flight at around five in the morning.
Jiaojiao was a bit reluctant and kept asking him as she saw him off, "Big Brother, tomorrow is Brother Xi’s birthday. Can’t you leave a day later? We are all going to Xiahe Village tomorrow. Why don’t you come with us?"
Ruan Hao shook his head, and Jiaojiao pouted in disappointment.
Ruan Hao gently patted her head, wished Duan Xi a happy birthday in advance, and then left.
That night, Jiaojiao had a dream filled with bizarre imagery. Her body felt as if it was suddenly plummeting, and her heart was gripped with pain.
She abruptly opened her eyes, clutching her chest and gasping for air, drenched in sweat.
She looked outside and found that it was already daytime and that last night’s good weather had turned into a storm. The branches outside the window creaked in the wind.
She wiped her sweat, got up from the bed, glanced out the window, and vaguely saw someone seemingly knocking at the door.
