When Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin rushed to the hospital, the old man had been pushed into the rescue room.

Lin Cheng sat on the chair outside the rescue room, his face tense, and his expression seemed a bit solemn.

But Lin Jingfei sat silently on the other side, not sitting with her father Lin Cheng.

The two were far apart, and the atmosphere between them seemed a bit weird.

Ji Yijun's face was awe-inspiring, his brows furrowed deep, and he leaned against the wall alone.

After seeing the two of them, he got up and walked over, patted Ruan Zhiyin on the shoulder, and whispered: "The doctor said, it's not very good."

The old man's body was at the end of the battle. This period of time was particularly frustrated, and now he fainted in a panic.

Before the old man was pushed into the rescue room, the doctor had reminded the family members to be psychologically prepared.

Ruan Zhiyin trembled slightly after hearing the words, and Cheng Yuelin stretched out his hand to support.

After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Ji Yijun: "Why did Grandpa faint suddenly?"

Ji Yijun pursed his lips silently, handed Ruan Zhiyin a document, and sighed: "The old man asked me to investigate. He has doubts in his heart and insists that I give him the truth."

Ruan Zhiyin took the file bag from him. After opening it, it contained the data of a pair of mother and son.

When she saw the paternity test on the back page, she pinched her knuckles and frowned slightly.

Lin Cheng actually hid an illegitimate child.

This child is only nine years younger than Lin Jingfei, has been quietly hidden abroad by Lin Cheng, and has now begun high school.

Calculated according to age, the time of the woman's pregnancy should be two months before Ruan Lingfang's death.

At that time, Ruan Lingfang was lingering on the bed, and she didn't know that her beloved husband had secretly raised a female college student by her side.

When she died, the other party was already pregnant.

Lin Cheng was only in his thirties when Ruan Lingfang passed away. Elder Ruan also persuaded him to marry again, but Lin Cheng refused.

If Lin Cheng had this son after Ruan Lingfang's death, Father Ruan would not be so angry.

But this child is fifteen years old this year, which is the evidence that Lin Cheng betrayed his daughter.

As a father, the old man realized how his daughter was wronged before his death, so how could he be calm.

In recent years, Lin Cheng has shown a deep sense of affection for Ruan Lingfang, even Ruan Zhiyin thought he had some affection for Ruan Lingfang.

But he had concealed it from everyone around him, but he almost fell short at the last moment.

No wonder Lin Jingfei has such an attitude now.

The part of the shares that Ruan Lingfang left to Lin Jingfei has been in the custody of his father, Lin Cheng, and the period of the escrow agreement seems to be not short.

Lin Cheng had only her daughter before, but now suddenly she has an adult son. And the old man Ruan, who had always loved her, was now in the rescue room.

As for the reason why Lin Cheng looked so nervous, it should be because he was worried that his grandfather would revise his will and affect his interests after he survived this time.

He has played a good son-in-law for so many years, of course he doesn't want to have nothing.

Ruan Zhiyin glanced at the changing atmosphere between Lin Cheng and Lin Jingfei, and didn't know whether to blame Ji Yijun for giving the information to his grandpa at this time.

Now that grandpa has found out the clues and insisted on seeking a truth, if Ji Yijun deceived him, he would not be good to grandpa.

After all, Lin Cheng did the wrong thing.

And grandpa, shouldn't want to be deceived at the end.

After returning the information to Ji Yijun, Ruan Zhiyin had mixed emotions, and Cheng Yuelin and Cheng Yuelin walked to the side and sat down silently.

The atmosphere was solemn, and time passed by.

Outside the operating room, everyone had their own thoughts, and no one spoke any more.

Before arriving at the villa, they rushed to the hospital again. Neither Ruan Zhiyin nor Cheng Yuelin had dinner.

Cheng Yuelin was afraid that her body would not be able to hold it, so Bai Bo sent some food over, but Ruan Zhiyin really didn't have any appetite.

I don't know how long it took before the lights in the operating room finally went out.

Doctor Jiang, who was fairly familiar with everyone, wore a light blue surgical gown and walked out. After removing the mask, he shook his head sadly at several people.

The meaning in the eyebrows is self-evident.

"Last time I said that it is difficult for the old man to survive this situation for two months. People have been able to survive until now, and it is your last time to take good care of you. Please don't hesitate."

After the doctor had finished speaking, Lin Cheng seemed to be relieved.

But Lin Jingfei covered her face and turned her back, a sob of sobbing came faintly.

The most sober and calm is Ji Yijun.

Although he moved out of Ruan's house very early, he was also the adopted son of the old man Ruan who had gone through the adoption procedures.

In name, he is still the old man's son, and he signed the surgical drape just now.

After the doctor had finished speaking, Ji Yijun silently followed the other side and went downstairs to issue the death certificate of Old Man Ruan.

The meniscus was hanging high, and it was already midnight.

After the doctor has issued the death certificate, he will have to wait for the funeral procedure to be completed tomorrow before he can take the old man's body indirectly from the hospital.

After Ji Yijun came back, he said silently: "Let's go."

However, in the long corridor, there was a fierce quarrel between Lin Jingfei and Lin Cheng.

Ruan Zhiyin stared at the scene in front of him blankly, and firmly squeezed Cheng Yuelin's hand, still at a loss in the doctor's last sentence of ‘sorrow’.

When he just saw the old man being pushed out of the operating room covered with a white cloth, Ruan Zhiyin only held Cheng Yuelin with empty eyes.

She didn't want to and did not dare to lift the white cloth, but clearly heard her voice that was too calm.

"Cheng Yuelin, I don't have a grandfather anymore."

Just a few hours ago, grandpa smiled and told her to take care of herself and not to be too tired.

Things happened so fast that Ruan Zhiyin never thought that it would come in this way at this moment.

She even failed to say goodbye to the old man.

The slight tremor from the palm of her palm revealed her emotions. Cheng Yuelin looked at her red eyes and whispered: "Ruan Zhiyin, if you want to cry, don't hold back."

The quarrel in the corridor continued.

When Ruan Zhiyin heard what he said, he shook his head in a daze, "No, Cheng Yuelin, I just... really want to go home."

Although she knew she shouldn't escape, she could no longer stay here calmly.

She didn't want to see the quarrel between Lin Cheng and Lin Jingfei, nor did she want to see the death certificate obtained by Ji Yijun.

She just wanted to go home, although it was a little willful.

"Okay, then we will go home."

Cheng Yuelin didn't hesitate to say anything. He knew that Ruan Zhiyin could not relax in this environment.

So he shook her hand back, and then calmed down: "Don't worry, Bai Bo is here. Everything will be handled for Ji Yijun. I will accompany you home."

——

Bentley drove fast, Ruan Zhiyin didn't speak any more along the way, as if he hadn't recovered.

Half an hour later, the two dragged their hungry and exhausted bodies back to the villa.

Cheng Yuelin opened the fingerprint lock, pushed the door and walked into the living room, the surrounding area was quiet and pitch black.

He habitually stretched out his hand to press the switch of the hall lamp, but was yelled by Ruan Zhiyin——

"Cheng Yuelin, don't turn on the lights."

Her voice choked a little.

Finally couldn't hold back the emotions in my heart.

Cheng Yuelin sighed and took her into his arms, feeling that Ruan Zhiyin's thin shoulders kept twitching and trembling, and the wetness of the neck was faint and burned to his heart.

In the dim living room, Ruan Zhiyin was buried in the arms of the man, not knowing how long he had been crying.

She knew that she must be very embarrassed now, she had just endured her emotions in the hospital, but when she returned to the familiar environment, she couldn't hold herself back.

The doctor had repeatedly told, Ruan Zhiyin knew that this day would come soon. However, her only relatives left in the most regrettable way, and her heart still seemed to be suddenly empty.

Cheng Yuelin tightened his arms and gently patted her back. When her choking gradually eased, she lowered her voice and said, "Isn't there still me? Ruan Qiqi, we are also... family members now."

Ruan Zhiyin paused when he heard the words, and seemed to have never expected that he would use "family" to define the relationship between the two.

There was a long silence, her voice was muffled

"Cheng Yuelin, am I very selfish?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Grandpa has been really good to me these past few years, but I have always been...very kind to him."

Ruan Zhiyin paused for a long time before finding words to describe the sense of distance between her and grandpa.

Perhaps, Grandpa is also regretful.

It's not that Ruan Zhiyin didn't know that grandpa was good to her, but grandpa was not only good to her, but also loved Lin Jingfei, his granddaughter. In such an environment, she didn't know how to let go of her burden and face her grandfather.

Elder Ruan was distressed about her experience of being lost when she was young, so she became a little more favored after she returned home, and even caused Lin Jingfei's dissatisfaction.

Ruan Zhiyin didn't care about her grandfather, but she still couldn't act like Lin Jingfei and express her unhappiness for her grandfather's favoritism.

Perhaps this is a flaw in her character.

She is too selfish, so she doesn't want to open up everything to others and bury herself the possibility of injury.

"Ruan Ting-chi, don't think so, you have done a good job."

Cheng Yuelin's eyes were deep, and with the slight moonlight outside the window, his warm fingers gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ruan Zhiyin's eyes.

"You don't want Grandpa to be uneasy or embarrass you, so you keep hiding what the Lin family did. This is not selfish."

After the conversation, he raised his eyebrows slightly and patted her on the head: "However, there is one thing you did not do right. You have to change it later."

Ruan Zhiyin was stunned for a moment, then followed his words and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Don't worry so much, you should think about how to make yourself happy."

The last words were too soft, Ruan Zhiyin could not see the smudged emotions in his eyes.

She had just barely eased from her strong emotions, unable to allow herself to ponder his words.

He just frowned, and recovered a little bit of calm from the feeling of losing control.

"Cheng Yuelin..."

"I said, don't thank me again." Cheng Yuelin interrupted her, paused for a while, and then sighed, "Ruan Zhiyin, have you ever heard a saying?"

Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"A person's true death is not the moment when his life disappears, but when he is forgotten by everyone. Grandpa does not want to see you sad for his departure, as long as you remember him, he will not leave you."

Ruan Zhiyin seldom heard Cheng Yuelin talk to her in such a serious tone, but he also knew that he said that he wanted to comfort himself.

In fact, during this time, the doctor has hinted to them many times that the old man may die at any time.

Ruan Zhiyin was not unprepared for this matter.

She just regretted that she couldn't be alone with her grandfather in the end.

Thinking of this, Ruan Zhiyin narrowed his red and swollen eyes and asked in a low voice: "Last time you went to the old house, what did Grandpa tell you?"

What did you say?

Cheng Yuelin looked down at her, and knew in her heart that what she wanted to ask was whether the old man had mentioned her to himself.

After a pause, he said warmly: "Well, grandpa said, he hopes that Yinyin will be happy in the future."

Grandpa may also have regrets, but he selfishly didn't want her to bear this regret. As for her grandfather's entrustment, Cheng Yuelin will also promise.

But those things should be done by him.
