You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 53 Part 3 

The doorbell rang as Ruan Yu was speaking. Xu Huaisong came back.

Tao Rong went to open the door: “How was it, did she make trouble for you?”

Xu Huaisong shook his head: “Mom, I’m capable of handling things like that. But, you, you really didn’t have to……” He paused and sighed. Then he looked over at Ruan Yu who was sitting on the couch.

He walked over and picked up the glass in front of her to gulp down the half glass of water left in it.

Tao Rong hurriedly went into the kitchen to pour some more water and called Xu Huaishi over to help her cut some fruit.

“Mom, don’t bother.” Xu Huaisong turned to say: “My coworker is waiting downstairs. We have to go back to Hang City shortly.”

Tao Rong still brought out some fruit and apologetically said to Ruan Yu: “You’re in such a hurry. We don’t have anything prepared. Come eat some fruit.”

Ruan Yu thought to herself that they had also arrived in such a hurry, without any preparation and gifts. She thanked her with a smile while taking the plate of fruit.

Because of the incident outside the gate, the atmosphere in the living room was still quite stifling. Xu Huaisong figured that it wasn’t a good time to mention anything about himself and Ruan Yu. He sat for a while, then got up to leave. Before leaving, he told Tao Rong: “I explained everything to Ms. Wang and instructed the guard at the gate. She shouldn’t be able to come into the community from now on. If you run into the same thing again, call the police directly.”

Tao Rong was quiet for a while before asking: “Are you here for a case this time? I heard from her that you’re helping……”

Xu Huaisong paused before answering: “There’s a criminal case and I’m helping the client collecting evidence.”

Tao Rong forced out a smile and said: “Hm. You take care of yourself. Make sure you eat meals on time everyday.”

Xu Huaisong nodded and took a look at Ruan Yu: “Don’t worry. She’s watching over me.”

Tao Rong then said to Ruan Yu: “Thanks.” She then went to get a few boxes of food for her to take back.

Ruan Yu couldn’t refuse. She took the food and said that she would come visit again.

After they left, Ruan Yu said to Xu Huaisong with a frustrated face: “Why am I caught off guard every time……”

Xu Huaisong held her hand and said: “It’s alright. My mom likes you very much anyway.”

Ruan Yu was interested in the topic: “Has she mentioned it to you?”

He shook his head.

“Then how would you know?”

“Just think about it. If it wasn’t for you, would I come back from the US?”

He said it matter of factly. Ruan Yu thought about it and something flickered in her eyes.

They got in Chen Hui’s car downstairs and didn’t mention anything about Ms. Wang again. They went together to pick up Zhang Jie who had finished her work.

Zhang Ling was exhausted and sweaty. She reported to Xu Huaisong after getting into the car: “I still haven’t persuaded two friends of the victim to open up to me. But judging from their attitude, I figure that Ms. Ruan’s surmise might be correct. It should be that the family of the victim wants to convict our client without delay and has instructed her friends not to disclose any information.”

Chen Hui sighed: “Though I can relate to the feelings of the victim’s family, what if the truth gets covered up and it leads to a wrongful conviction……” Half way through, he suddenly remembered that Xu Huaisong had just experienced a not so pleasant incident and probably wasn’t in a good mood. He changed the subject right away: “Hehe, however, Ruan Jie’s really smart. Why don’t you consider changing your profession to be a police or lawyer?”

“Hrm?” Ruan Yu was caught by surprise.

Xu Huaisong laughed and hugged her a little closer: “Her? Forget about it. She has a wild imagination but is easily scared.”
