"Don't be so disgusting when you shout!" Bai Rongran looked at the big face that appeared on the phone screen, frowned, and held the phone away from her. "Bai Ronglan, did Chu Chuan go back to the Chu family's old house for dinner today?"
"Huh?" Ronglan was stunned for three seconds before digesting Bai Rongran's question. She nodded seriously. "Yes, didn't I send you the photos?" While having dinner, Chu Chuan was sitting diagonally opposite her. She secretly took several photos of Chu Chuan and sent them to her dear younger sister, Ranran, to extort money.
"Wait... Where are you now?" Bai Rongran saw Ronglan's dazed expression and realized something was wrong. "Have you been drinking? Are you drunk?"
Ronglan was stunned for another two seconds before waving her hand to answer Bai Rongran's question, but only answering the last one. "I'm not drunk. I have such a good drinking capacity. How could I get drunk!"
Bai Rongran: "..." How dare she say she's not drunk when she's in such a state?
She didn't want to talk to a drunkard, but this drunkard knew what she wanted to know.
She took a deep breath and asked patiently, "Was Chu Chuan very busy today?"
Hearing the familiar name Chu Chuan, Ronglan sobered up for two seconds. "No, he spent the whole afternoon chatting with mother and playing with our little ragdoll cat. He was quite free."
Bai Rongran frowned slightly. So he was chatting with Mrs. Chu. No wonder he didn't reply to her messages. "Bai Ronglan, he..."
Before she could finish her sentence, seeing the other person's confused look, she rolled her eyes. "Forget it. I don't know if what you're saying is true or false now. I'll call you tomorrow. Where are you now?"
"I'm at the Chu family." Ronglan held the phone up higher, wanting Bai Rongran to see the beautifully decorated small rooftop.
However, Bai Rongran didn't understand Ronglan's intention. Ronglan was dizzy and couldn't hold the phone steadily. The shaking made her feel uncomfortable. After confirming that Ronglan wasn't drunk outside, she hung up the video call without hesitation.
After the video call was hung up, Ronglan frowned and stared at the phone screen for a while before slowly putting the phone into her pocket.
Seeing that she had finished the call, Zhen Rui asked, "You have a very good relationship with your younger sister?"
Ronglan reached out and rubbed the fluffy ears on top of her head. "Not really. But if possible, I hope our relationship could be good... I used to have a younger sister with whom I had a very good relationship..."
But later, something happened, and she no longer had a younger sister...
Zhen Rui was drunk, but when she saw that Ronglan's wine glass was empty, she opened another bottle of red wine and stuffed the whole bottle into Ronglan's hand.
In a drunken state, Ronglan didn't refuse the bottle of wine that Zhen Rui had stuffed into her hand. Instead, after smelling the aroma of the wine, she put her mouth to the bottle opening, held the bottle with her hand, and tilted her head back to take a big gulp.
As a result, the little fox, who was already extremely dizzy, became even dizzier.
"Maybe the dream mother had was about my past life!" Although dizzy, she remembered that she hadn't replied to what Zhen Rui had said about the dream. She leaned over and slapped Zhen Rui's hand with her paw, then lifted her lips and smiled foolishly.
"Really..." Zhen Rui let herself slump on the reclining chair and looked at the blurry stars in the sky. "If that was the past life, in this life, we have to avoid all the mistakes we made in the past life and live a happier life than before..."
"I also have a question for mother. Are you happy living in the Chu family? Why did you marry such a scumbag!" Ronglan slapped the table angrily under the influence of alcohol.
Compared to the noisy little girl after getting drunk, Zhen Rui was much calmer. She was aware that her state was not right, so she simply didn't do anything extra and just sat there drinking. "It's... still quite happy. As for why I married a scumbag, it's because he wasn't a scumbag when we first met... He just changed later... But now he's quite obedient. Except for things related to Chu Chuan, he's stubborn and won't listen to me. Usually, if I tell him to go east, he won't dare to go west. So it should be considered happy..."
"But Chu Chuan's existence can't be erased!" The little fox got angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She almost dropped the bottle of red wine in her hand.
"Yes, so sometimes I'm also angry..."
At 11:30 p.m. -
Chu Hengyuan placed an order for a bunch of hats. There were cute ones and trendy ones of all kinds. But all those hats had one thing in common: they wouldn't press on the ears of his little girl. She should be more comfortable wearing them.
After emptying the shopping cart, he happily closed the shopping app. Then he looked at the time. It had been an hour since his little girl said she was going up to the rooftop to watch the stars, but she still hadn't come back.
As someone who had lived in the Chu family's old house for many years, how could he not know that the stars on the rooftop of the Chu family weren't so beautiful that one could watch them for an hour.
He sat quietly for a while. In the end, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and got up to go out. He planned to go up to the rooftop to see what was going on.
However, he didn't expect that when he passed by the room of Father Chu and Zhen Rui, Father Chu happened to open the door and walk out.
The father and son looked at each other, embarrassed and speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Father Chu was about to pretend that nothing had happened, retract the foot he had stepped out, and close the room door the next second, Chu Hengyuan squinted his eyes and took the initiative to speak. "Father, are you going to look for mother?"
Father Chu coughed lightly. "Yes."
"Let's go together. Mother and Lanlan are both on the rooftop."
"Okay..."
Apart from these two sentences, they didn't have any other communication.
It wasn't until they reached the rooftop and saw the two drunk people sitting on the ground, hugging each other tightly, that they were forced to talk to each other.
"Quickly pull your wife's hand away!" Father Chu was so angry that his beard was shaking.
"You should coax your wife to let go first, right!" Chu Hengyuan rolled his eyes. He was extremely glad that he had invited Father Chu to come together. Otherwise, if he had to deal with these two drunkards alone, he might have gone crazy.
They were hugging each other so tightly. He couldn't forcefully pull his little girl's hand away because her hand was hugging mother's waist. He couldn't pull mother's hand away either. In short, anything he did now would be wrong.
They could only wait for the two of them to let go of each other on their own.
Father Chu was also at a loss. In front of this "estranged" son, Chu Hengyuan, he was too embarrassed to lower his pride and coax Zhen Rui.
Chu Hengyuan could tell from his father's expression that he couldn't count on him, so he had to do it himself. He supported his little girl's shoulders and coaxed her softly. "Lanlan, let go. How about I take you to eat roast chicken?"
He had used his ace in the hole.
His little girl should react to roast chicken no matter what state she was in.
Sure enough, the ace in the hole still worked.
Hearing that there was roast chicken to eat, the drunk little girl instinctively turned her head to look at him. "I want to eat roast chicken!"
