After the birthday party, some were happy, some were in low spirits, and some even had their joy turn to sorrow.
After the birthday party, Su Man left with Shi Zhi. When Ding Ruola learned that they had left, she felt relieved.
However, at three o'clock in the morning, Ding Ruola was woken up by a phone call.
Ding Ruola groggily got up. When she was about to hang up the phone, she saw the name on the caller ID and instead answered it.
"Su Man has been taken back!"
The girl sat up in bed. Because of Ding Ruola's movement, Fang Siyan grabbed a piece of clothing and draped it over her. He also sat up with her.
Fang Siyan wasn't quite sure what was going on.
All he could see under the bedside lamp was Ding Ruola's tightly furrowed brow.
Ding Ruola was too earnest about her friends and too involved in others' feelings. In the end, it was always she who got hurt.
Fang Siyan waited until Ding Ruola hung up the phone before he dared to ask her what had happened.
The girl didn't speak immediately. She was silent for a while, then found Fang Siyan's hand in the light.
The man's warm palm always gave her a sense of security.
It should have started raining outside. When Ding Ruola was on the phone with Shi Zhi, she heard the sound of water in his breath. After hanging up the phone, she could clearly hear the sound of raindrops hitting the outdoor unit of the air - conditioner.
"It'll be okay! Lao Fang, right?"
Fang Siyan didn't dare to make an assertion. The Su family were always hot - tempered, and as an outsider, it wasn't appropriate for him to interfere in their children's education.
He rubbed the back of Ding Ruola's hand with his finger and said a few simple words to her.
Ding Ruola remembered that Fang Siyan had to go to work the next day. In order not to affect him, she pretended to be relieved, handed the clothes on her body to Fang Siyan, and pulled him into the quilt with her.
The girl's feet were cold. When they touched Fang Siyan, he instinctively dodged to one side, then lifted his feet and clamped Ding Ruola's feet between his legs.
When Ding Ruola woke up the next morning, Fang Siyan had already left.
She had insomnia because of what happened the previous day, so she didn't get up this morning.
But there was nothing much to do in the studio today. It was a good choice for Ding Ruola to stay at home and look at some materials, simply study the marketing strategies of other businesses.
Later, just as Ding Ruola was getting into work mode, her train of thought was interrupted by another phone call.
"Who is this?"
Looking at the unfamiliar phone number, she didn't really want to answer it. But then she thought it might be a business cooperation.
After answering the phone, an anxious woman's cry came from the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Come and persuade Su Man."
Could this be Su Man's parents?
Ding Ruola was still hesitating when the doorbell rang. This time, she didn't go to open the door immediately.
Having learned from past experiences, she lay on the peephole and stared at the person outside.
Shi Zhi?
Ding Ruola opened the door. Shi Zhi was accompanied by Bi Shuang.
"Let's go to Su Man's house!"
Shi Zhi pulled Ding Ruola and was about to leave. Before Ding Ruola could react, she was dragged away by the man.
She was still wearing her pajamas and slippers.
The three of them rushed there in a hurry. Meanwhile, Fang Siyan had been keeping an eye on the Su family's every move.
He knew this matter would definitely involve Ding Ruola.
Now he had to step in.
Fang Siyan told his assistant to prepare the car. Fortunately, it wasn't the peak - traffic hour at noon, and there was no traffic jam on the road.
When Ding Ruola arrived at the Su family's house, she found that Mei Xuejian was also there.
She caught a glimpse of Mei Xuejian sitting beside a woman. Ding Ruola had seen this woman before.
This was Su Man's mother.
Mrs. Su was crying while holding Mei Xuejian's hand and complaining.
"You tell me, how could he be so heartless!"
The person the woman was talking about should be Su Man's father.
Bi Shuang secretly told Ding Ruola, who was in the dark, that Su Man had been taken back last night, had a big fight with her family, and was now attempting suicide.
Suicide was no small matter. Why not compromise first and let Su Man out? And would their coming here be of any use?
"As long as she agrees to the engagement with the Mei family, you can persuade Su Man!"
The engagement with the Mei family? Was this man who had just come out really Su Man's father?
"Shouldn't we save the person first?"
The man glared at Ding Ruola viciously and walked towards her.
The Su family's affairs never allowed outsiders to interfere, and Ding Ruola's words had touched the man's sore spot.
Mei Xuejian, who was standing on one side, quickly stepped in to smooth things over, so that the situation between Ding Ruola and Mr. Su didn't escalate.
There were medical staff in the house. All they were waiting for was Mr. Su's order, and then they could rescue the person.
Rescuing a person actually had to wait for the order of such a vicious person.
Ding Ruola pulled Shi Zhi to ram the door, and Mei Xuejian also followed.
"The rules of the Su family have always been like this!"
"Just because it's always been like this doesn't mean it's right?"
Ding Ruola heard the woman behind her still making excuses for Mr. Su. She sneered in her heart.
With a bang, the door flew open!
The medical staff rushed in through the door.
Su Man had fainted due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, she didn't know that when cutting her wrist, she should soak her hand in water. She had simply cut her wrist, and there were already dark - red scabs on it.
After being hospitalized, she only needed a blood transfusion and a short rest.
The person was finally saved, but it was still time to settle the score.
Mrs. Su was taken away, leaving four young people and a middle - aged man in the living room.
The man looked fierce with a bushy beard and knitted eyebrows.
"The little girl is quite educated. She even knows Lu Xun!"
Ding Ruola stared intently at the man in front of her. She believed this man was just a paper tiger.
"Have you ever heard a saying by Lao She?"
Lao She? Was this the time to talk about literature? Was Mr. Su missing the point?
Ding Ruola glanced sideways at the other three people. They were even more confused.
"I can't beat Lu Xun, but can't I beat you!"
As soon as Mr. Su said this, Ding Ruola's face turned pale. She swallowed hard. Just as she was thinking about how to defend herself or persuade this man, a hearty laugh came from behind.
"I didn't expect Director Su to be so humorous!"
Fang Siyan came from behind Ding Ruola and directly draped his coat over her.
The man directly ignored the people around him. He held Ding Ruola's hand in his, lowered his head, and rubbed the tip of his nose against Ding Ruola's forehead.
"Aren't you cold? You don't even know how to dress properly!"
Mr. Su knew that Fang Siyan had announced his marriage to a woman at the birthday party last night, but he hadn't seen this woman.
If he had known earlier that Ding Ruola was Fang Siyan's wife, he wouldn't have acted so extremely.
"I'm very sorry about what happened today!"
Fang Siyan raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Su with a half - smile.
A large part of the Su family's investment came from Fang Siyan. If they offended Fang Siyan, it would mean that their business would not go smoothly in the future.
