Chapter 388 Ruan Yang Didn’t Tell Me To Beat You Up; I Wanted To Do I
“Ruan Yang, do you remember me?” Changqing’s eyes lit up.
“No, I just thought that you looked familiar.” Ruan Yang smiled unconsciously and nodded at Song Chuyi. She then looked at the child in his arms who was sleeping soundly. “He looks a little like his father.”
“Yeah.” Changqing was unhappy. “He looked more like me when he was born but not as he started growing up.”
“Kids are all like that. Actually, it’s better if a boy looks more like his father.” Ruan Yang handed a thick red pocket towards the child.
Changqing looked at the thickness and knew it was a lot of money. Changqing didn’t think that even though Ruan Yang had lost her memories and friendships, her red pocket wasn’t any smaller than it would’ve been before. “Ruan Yang, now that I’m out of confinement, I’ll go out and see you frequently.”
“Sure.” Ruan Yang smiled.
Just then, Li Xiaoxia also discovered Li Shaobin. He pulled Ruan Yang over. “Sister Ruan Yang, I saw my Little Uncle. Let’s go over and take a look at his girlfriend.”
Ruan Yang wasn’t very interested and didn’t really want to go over. She was afraid strangers would ask her things about the past. Changqing saw her frowning and was also afraid that people who didn’t know about her condition would ask her about Xin Ziao, so she quickly said “Xiaoxia, go seat with Shaobin. Ruan Yang will sit with us.”
“Why?” Li Xiaoxia tilted his head. “Then I want to sit with you guys too.”
Changqing’s head hurt. Song Chuyi said lightly, “Then let’s squeeze a little and sit together.”
After that, Ruan Yang sat together with Yan Lei, Shen Lu, Yan Changxin, and the others at the family’s table. However, they all knew she had lost her memory so they didn’t blabber about. Instead, they showed her utmost concern and even told her about the things that happened during their university days when she was living in the same dormitory as Changqing. She was very interested to hear the stories.
A few tables away from her, it was very noisy. She glanced over casually and saw Li Shaobin in his red sweater and brown pants. His image was too eye-catching. Beside him was a plain girl. Her eyebrows were neither too thick nor too thin and she was smiling with her lips pressed together. However, that made Ruan Yang think something was off about her. Ruan Yang had always been very observant and she kept feeling that something was amiss.
Changqing and Song Chuyi only came over when it was time to eat. Changqing sat beside her and Song Chuyi kept getting food for Changqing. Changqing was smiling broadly. Ruan Yang glanced at her and paused just as she was taking a sip of tea. She finally knew what was amiss.
Although that woman was smiling, there was no sweetness in her eyes. She didn’t look like someone in love but rather someone who was trying hard to act without putting her heart and soul into the acting.
Ruan Yang had no idea why she would analyze a person’s expression in such detail but it might be due to acting knowledge and insight that had been etched deeply in her brain after her years in film school. Even if she had forgotten about it, she could sense it.
“Brother Shaobin’s girlfriend is quite pretty.” Changqing also noticed her. Changqing smiled gladly. “He’s finally found himself a girlfriend. It really wasn’t easy.”
“Yeah,” Ruan Yang said.
Changqing looked at Ruan Yang and suddenly recalled that she had heard from her dad a couple days ago about his friend’s son who was also an entrepreneur. If only they could both go out someday to meet each other. “Ruan Yang, when do you plan to find a boyfriend?”
Ruan Yang was stunned. She laughed. “I was still thinking of going back to Guangzhou. I don’t have the time to think about all this.”
Changqing thought about it and agreed. “Then let’s grab some food together tomorrow.”
“Sure.” Ruan Yang nodded. “But don’t you have to stay at home and take care of your child?”
Changqing glanced at Song Chuyi proudly and snorted. “I’m finally out of confinement and I’m free. I get to eat and play whenever I want.”
Song Chuyi’s face sank. “Watch your diet. Don’t forget you went through a cesarean. Your wounds haven’t healed completely; you better be more careful.”
“You’re so fierce. I better ignore you.” Changqing turned her little face away.
Ruan Yang smiled. Although this Song Chuyi might sound strict, every word he said was filled with love and concern.
After lunch, Changqing made Ruan Yang stay over at her place but Ruan Yang rejected her offer. After all, she still didn’t know how to interact with a married friend. Guan Ying came over from another table and invited her to go shopping.
When they were taking the elevator downstairs, Li Shaobin happened to walk in with Luo Xiru, Zhan Mingwei, and his wife.
“How are you these past few days?” Li Shaobin asked her with a grin. “Let’s get our bandages removed together tomorrow.”
Ruan Yang glanced at Luo Xiru beside him and said, “There’s no need. I can go on my own.”
“That won’t do. I already said I would go with you,” Li Shaobin said unyieldingly. “Then I’ll come over tomorrow morning to pick you up.”
Although there were quite a few people in the elevator, it was very quiet and their conversation could be heard.
Zhan Mingwei lowered his head silently and tugged at Li Shaobin’s shirt. Li Shaobin frowned. “Old Zhan, why are you tugging me?”
Zhan Mingwei rubbed his glabella.
When they walked out of the elevator, they bade each other goodbye. Li Xiaoxia wanted to leave with Ruan Yang but was pulled away by Li Shaobin because he had to go to his tutor in the afternoon.
Outside her sports car, Guan Ying said with a smile, “That Li Shaobin’s EQ is so pathetically low. He actually said those things in front of his girlfriend. Wasn’t he afraid she would get jealous? He couldn’t even understand that you were trying to stay clear from him.”
“I know, right?” Ruan Yang propped her arm up on the window. “But don’t you think that female cop was a little weird?”
Guan Ying’s heart thumped. “She kept smiling and looked like she was tolerating it but her eyes didn’t look like she was all there?”
“You could tell too.” Ruan Yang smiled.
“We’re professional actors, after all. In the past, our teachers always analyzed things in detail with us during class.” Guan Ying suddenly thought of herself in the past. “Forget it; we’d better mind our own business. It’s up to them. If we told him and he didn’t believe us, Changqing would feel awkward being stuck in the middle too.”
“That’s true,” Ruan Yang said.
——————-
The next morning, Ruan Yang was still eating her breakfast made by the caretaker when Li Shaobin suddenly called to rush her to the hospital.
She could only finish up quickly and when she got downstairs, Li Shaobin was already there in his new Ferrari that didn’t even have a car plate number.
Ruan Yang sat in the passenger’s seat and upon seeing how refreshed he looked, she asked, “Got a new car?”
“Yeah. I felt that the safety system in the previous one wasn’t enough due to the car accident so I changed it,” Li Shaobin said nonchalantly.
“How much did this cost?” Ruan Yang asked while sitting comfortably.
“Around 20 million.”
“It seems like you’re very rich.”
“Yeah. I’m lacking everything except money,” Li Shaobin said with a grin.
When they arrived at the hospital, Li Shaobin went straight to get his bandage removed while Ruan Yang had to do a CT scan first.
There were many people at the hospital but Li Shaobin had special connections so they didn’t need to queue and could finish very quickly.
However, her appearance at the hospital still attracted a lot of attention from the people waiting outside. When she came out wearing a cap and a mask, she was still recognized by the patients at the hospital. “That looks like Ruan Yang...”
“I think so too...”
The crowd started discussing fervently and many people even left their queue to crowd around her.
“It really is Ruan Yang. Ruan Yang, are you really not returning to the entertainment industry?”
“Ruan Yang, are you sick?”
...
Some people started taking out their phones to take photos. Dr. Zhu blocked them and escorted Ruan Yang out. In the end, the people in the waiting room created such a large commotion that the people in the hallway could hear them.
Li Shaobin, who was waiting outside, walked right over upon seeing so many people crowding around and he happened to hear a man standing in front of Ruan Yang saying loudly, “Ruan Yang, I’ve seen your nude pictures before.”
Ruan Yang looked at the man, turning pale suddenly.
Li Shaobin rushed over and punched the man right in his face. “Watch your f*cking words.”
That man clambered up angrily, wanting to fight back after being punched, but he was no match for Li Shaobin. He could only shout loudly, “He hit a person. Ruan Yang got him to hit me!”
“Ruan Yang didn’t tell me to beat you up; I wanted to do it.” Li Shaobin continued punching him.
Seeing that he was no match for Li Shaobin, that man became more ruthless with his words. “You make it sound like you haven’t seen them before. I’m afraid most of the men here have seen them before.”
“Are you even a f*cking man? How could you humiliate a woman like this?” Li Shaobin pulled him up and pressed him against a wall.
Ruan Yang watched motionlessly as the two fought until Dr. Zhu pushed her out anxiously. “Miss Ruan, you’d better leave quickly.”
Ruan Yang was hesitant. “But...”
“No one would dare to do anything to Young Master Li. If you don’t leave, it’d be terrible if reporters came.” Although Dr. Zhu was just a doctor, celebrities always came in and out of the hospital so he understood that no one should know that Li Shaobin and Ruan Yang were together. Otherwise, Ruan Yang would have to take the blame for assault.
Ruan Yang turned around to look at Li Shaobin, who was enveloped by a crowd of people. She had somewhat complicated feelings. After a while, she left without even turning her head back.
...
When she returned to her apartment, she drank a glass of warm water and started searching for things on her computer, but after a long time, she couldn’t manage to find the things she wanted.
At around 11 am, the doorbell rang. She went over to open the door and Li Shaobin was standing at the door looking disheveled. His hair and clothes were a mess and there were even small injuries on his face. When he saw her, he asked hesitantly, “Aye, you alright?”
“I should be the one asking you that.” Ruan Yang stared at his dirty collar.
