Perfect Destiny

Ch1.10 - Actually, I don't want to go I just wanna stay

Gossiping About the Brother-In-Law Who Likes Me [10]

Chen Liguo's return was very low-key.

Yue Chi wanted to tell others that Chen Liguo wasn't dead, but because Chen Liguo forbade him from doing so, he still kept it a secret. However, he still wondered why Chen Liguo was unwilling to make himself known.

In the face of Yue Chi's doubts, Chen Liguo smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want other people to know about what happened between Ran Qingkong and me..."

Yue Chi understood and his heart was full of sympathy for Chen Liguo and anger towards Ran Qingkong, but there isn't much he could do.

After a while, Chen Liguo returned to the country where he had lived for more than 20 years.

When the plane landed, Yue Chi asked Chen Liguo where he wanted to go first.

Chen Liguo thought about it and said quietly, "Tongtong... Is she okay?"

Yue Chi didn't think that the first thing Chen Liguo would do when he returned to China was to ask about Ran Tongtong. He couldn't bear it. He said, "Wenyou, Ran Tongtong, she is married now."

Chen Liguo said, "I know."

Yue Chi hesitated for a while and said, "She is pregnant... and currently, is living in a hospital."

Chen Liguo smiled bitterly—if he was not afraid of Ran Tongtong encountering any accidents, he would not have been so eager to escape. He said, "I want to see her."

Yue Chi sighed, "Why do you do this?"

Chen Liguo licked his lips and didn't talk.

Yue Chi saw Chen Liguo's expression and knew that he would not change his mind. He said, "Alright, I will take you to the hospital."

At this time, it was already late, and the two should have gotten a good rest to adjust to the time difference. But because of Chen Liguo's request, they got into the car again and headed for the hospital.

Along the way, Yue Chi asked Chen Liguo about what had happened. His relationship with Ran Tongtong was not good and he did not even attend her wedding. So it wasn't until Chen Liguo was taken away again that he knew that Chen Liguo had come back to attend Ran Tongtong's wedding.

"Wenyou, is it really worth it?" Yue Chi said, "That brother and sister of the Ran family are simply like the calamities of your life. If I were you, I would definitely run away."

Chen Liguo looked at the scenery outside the window and said blankly, "Escape... where can I escape?"

Yue Chi looked at his friend next to him and only felt that his heart was thick and could not bear it. As an illegitimate child, Xu Wenyou's situation in Xu's family has always been very awkward, but his character had not been affected by it. Throughout the entire grade, his good temper was famous and to be able to be liked by him seemed to be a wondrous thing. No matter what happened to Ran Tongtong, Xu Wenyou would always try to help her solve it, which made the girls who liked Xu Wenyou extraordinarily jealous of Ran Tongtong.

Yue Chi had figured that falling in love with Ran Tongtong was the worst thing that could happen in Xu Wenyou's life. But now, looking at his friend's haggard face, he can only sigh at the inconstancy of the world.

If Ran Tongtong is the calamity that Xu Wenyou has survived, then Ran Qingkong is the 81 tribulations[1] Xu Wenyou has to face.

When they arrived at the hospital, the two men got out of the car in low spirits.
