Chapter 224: Chapter 144 Ranran, Just Give In

Bei Ran looked at Song Ziyu, this girl also had a cunning side!

Song Ziyu already knew she was the former sister-in-law, yet she unflappably set her up with a handsome man!

"Ziyu, actually, about that matter, I can explain..." Bei Ran sighed lightly, she had never been one to flaunt her Mrs. Gu status around, especially now that she was divorced from him!

"No need to explain!" Song Ziyu huffed, "Anyway, I’m mad!"

Bei Ran turned to look at Tian Xin, who was cheerful and optimistic, already clinking glasses with a handsome guy.

"Zheng Tong, what about you?" Bei Ran knew she was married, and that she had been getting along well with Duan Feixun recently!

Zheng Tong stretched out her hand decisively and said, "Him!"

Bei Ran: "..."

Song Ziyu looked at her: "Now there are two left, what do you think?"

"I really have never played like this..." Bei Ran said.

She had always been the obedient type, from studying to graduating college, she would never frequent nightclubs!

Then, during college, she dated Tang Baijin, who also didn’t take her to such places!

Until that year she turned twenty-two and had twins, she then had even less time to frequent such places!

Moreover, at the age of twenty-four, she married Gu Qingchen, who was a serious and earnest man. They had an agreement which was like a set of strict rules; she was even more self-disciplined and would not go to such places that might embarrass him.

She was twenty-eight years old and really never had such fun!

"Then give it a try!" Song Ziyu said, looking at her, "What’s so good about my cousin that you’re still hung up on him after the divorce?"

Bei Ran fell silent, how can one be devoid of sentiment when they’re not just grass and trees?

Even if Gu Qingchen was the one who proposed the divorce, she had never blamed him!

After all, it was agreed upon from the beginning, a four-year marriage, just a contract.

He said divorce, and naturally, she agreed.

Clinging on desperately wasn’t her style! Even if she had feelings for him, even if she had love for him, she would not let him know.

"Don’t you like Master Su?" Bei Ran was also looking at her, "Why are you still coming here to play?"

Song Ziyu spoke carelessly, "That does not conflict with liking him at all, plus, people change with age and experiences. I may not always like him! My life is my own to control, I still need to be happy when it’s time to be!"

"I support Ziyu’s point of view!" Zheng Tong immediately joined in.

Tian Xin was raising his wine glass and laughing, "It seems the married women here have the same idea! Ranran, just go with it! If you single yourself out, we won’t invite you to play next time! And, you’re a free person now, why are you still worrying about Gu Qingchen?"

"I’m naturally not worrying about him!" Bei Ran looked at them helplessly, "I’m just not used to being with strange men..."

Song Ziyu shook her head, "Cousin-in-law, nobody is selling themselves here!"

One sentence made the others laugh too.

Song Ziyu raised her glass to Bei Ran, "Drink a penalty of three glasses for hurting my tender feelings! This matter was kept so secret, even auntie didn’t know!"

"Alright, alright, alright!" Bei Ran downed three glasses, "Ziyu, I think, let Qingchen handle this matter himself! Don’t tell auntie anything more!"

Song Ziyu glared at her, "If auntie knew, she would definitely make decisions for you!"

"No!" Bei Ran shook her head, "Our feelings and our lives have always been something only we, the two of us, understand best. Only when we truly open our hearts to each other can we walk together. Auntie is really nice, but I still hope she doesn’t get involved."

"Right!" Zheng Tong agreed, "Ziyu, let them handle their feelings themselves! We know you mean well."

Tian Xin also agreed, "But, Gu’s mom is a good mother-in-law, I’m also happy for Ranran about that! Not like that old witch, let’s be happy today and not talk about this..."

Everyone was caring for Bei Ran, and naturally, Bei Ran was very happy, but everyone understands, when it comes to matters of the heart, one has to deal with them on their own.

Bei Ran had a few drinks and felt a bit dizzy, so she went out for some fresh air and to clear her head in the breeze.

The night wind blew, gradually sobering her up.

In life, there’s love, kinship, and friendship.

Love, she experienced two men: one was Tang Baijin, the other Gu Qingchen.

One remains a beautiful memory tucked away in her past, the other a partner in a shared life of gentle constancy.

As for family, she did not know who her father was; her mother had already passed away, but she still had a precious set of twin boy and girl.

Friendship-wise, Tian Xin was her longest companion, warming her years, followed by the emergence of Song Ziyu, Zheng Tong...

No matter which kind of affection, they are all the most precious emotions etched into her life.

At this time, Bei Ran unexpectedly encountered Tang Yanran.

Ever since that meeting in Jiaoyang Club, she hadn’t seen her again at the hospital.

Tang Yanran also saw Bei Ran; having had a bit of alcohol, she charged over to Bei Ran: "Bei Ran, by what right do you get to be with Gu Qingchen? While I have strived for so many years, I learned medicine for him, do you know, when I grasped the scalpel and studied anatomy, if not for him, I wouldn’t have been able to persist, I finally could stand alongside him. Because of you, I can’t even stay in the hospital anymore!"

Bei Ran gazed at her: "Tang Yanran, I used to think, Gu Qingchen was a heartless person, his punishment on you was too severe. Now I suddenly understand, someone like you who doesn’t know better, who makes mistakes and still won’t admit them, deserves to be punished! You stop at nothing for the sake of loving someone! Do you know, Qingchen has the most right to know that he has a pair of children, yet you used Fang Zimo’s love for you, altered his report, not only did you destroy the friendship between Fang Zimo and Qingchen, you are not worthy of loving Qingchen! Of course, you are even less worthy of being a doctor!"

Bei Ran also learned later on, the moment father and children recognized each other, how shocking it was for her.

Just as Gu Qingchen had said, he was the person involved. He was a man with a strong sense of responsibility, yet unaware that his children were wandering outside, how much he blamed himself, and how sad he was.

But all this mischief was caused by Tang Yanran, she still refuses to admit her wrongdoing up to this moment, and Fang Zimo is also tragically upset, he too loved the wrong person.

Bei Ran felt that Gu Qingchen’s punishment of Tang Yanran was very appropriate!

Seeing Tang Yanran being so arrogantly confrontational, she also found this self-righteous woman extremely distasteful!

At this moment, suddenly a familiar voice came through: "Yanran... Yanran..."

It was Qian Zhi Ling’s voice, Qian Zhi Ling came over, remembering that Baijin loved Bei Ran to the bone, so no other woman could enter Baijin’s heart!

Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

Bei Ran disdainfully glanced at the two of them, then turned and walked away!

"Stop right there!" Qian Zhi Ling charged forward, making eye signals to Tang Yanran, and the two flanked Bei Ran from left and right.

Lakeside villa.

Gu Qingchen and Big Fish, along with Little Fish, were assembling a model kit; it must be said, Big Fish had a talent for this, while Little Fish played around, occasionally causing a bit of chaos.

However, she still concentrated on joining dad and brother in play, occasionally cuddling up in Gu Qingchen’s arms, "Daddy is so amazing, making a swing for me!"

Gu Qingchen had crafted a white swing for her, one that could sway back and forth. The swing’s sides were covered in green vines, looking vivid and lifelike; Little Fish loved it immensely!

For Gu Qingchen, this was a piece of cake.

But in the hearts of his children, the father was not only tall and magnificent, but also capable of anything and everything.

"Little Fish likes anything, daddy can give it to you!" Gu Qingchen kissed her cheek, which was soft and tender, just like the softest heart.

Little Fish was so happy that she danced with joy, "I love living with daddy, and also mommy, and brother, playing games together..."

Gu Qingchen looked into her hopeful big eyes, "Yes, we will always be together in the future."

Although Big Fish was intently focused on his model-building, his ears caught every word of the father-daughter conversation, etching them into his heart.

But he wasn’t as clingy to the father as Little Fish.

Of course, the tacit understanding between father and son didn’t need much verbal communication.

And when Big Fish encountered a challenging part of the model, he would stop and think about how to make it better.

Little Fish liked to act spoiled, especially when it came to Gu Qingchen, the model she was assembling was the simplest, yet, she still clung to Gu Qingchen’s embrace, asking questions non-stop.

And naturally, Gu Qingchen was happy to have such communication with his daughter, with his son, it was more about glances.

When his gaze fell on a particular spot, Big Fish understood instantly and then assembled an even more perfect model.

At the moment when the three of them were happily playing, his phone rang.

Gu Qingchen told the two kids to continue playing, he got up to take his phone. Seeing it was a call from the police station, his brow furrowed slightly.
