After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies
Chapter 195 Decoration
The reason why this house was decorated so carefully was entirely out of the desire to give Joan a big surprise.
Therefore, everything was done by him personally, and every detail and every decorative element was selected and arranged according to Joan's personal preferences.
However, although he had tried his best, he was not completely sure whether Ruoan would like this style and design.
At this moment, Xia Ruoan cast her gaze towards the man who had silently sacrificed for her and said softly, "This is already very good. I plan to move here directly after graduation."
"I had already discussed this matter with my mother, and I was about seven or eight months pregnant at that time."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi nodded gently, indicating that he had no objection. "No matter what, as long as it is your decision, I support it. No matter where we are, I will take good care of you and the baby wholeheartedly."
Then, Leng Zexi looked at Ruoan with a smile and joked, "To be honest, I originally thought you might prefer to go back to your hometown to give birth, and come back closer to your due date. After all, this place is relatively unfamiliar to you."
Xia Ruoan shook her head slightly and explained, "Mom and Dad don't know when they can return home. Besides, next month is Senior Brother Ouyang and Sister Ling'er's wedding day, and Mom and Dad will be busy helping with all the wedding preparations."
Having said this, she paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, Dad has instructed my third brother to find someone to continue investigating the specific circumstances of Grandma's accident."
"Before, Dad didn't know how to face the past, so he kept putting it off until now. But now, he has finally made up his mind to thoroughly find out the truth and put it to rest."
After saying this, Xia Ruoan turned his gaze to Leng Zexi beside him again.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Leng Zexi was stunned when he suddenly heard this.
After a moment, he recovered and looked at Xia Ruo'an, who looked anxious, and said softly, "Actually, you can just ask your third brother to go and ask your grandfather about the situation. As far as I know, your grandfather should have relevant evidence in his hands."
"After all, this matter is of great importance, and your grandfather may know more unknown inside stories."
Leng Zexi paused, then added, "Also, it's certain that your grandmother's accident is inextricably linked to Xia Jiye and his mother. There's no doubt about that."
After saying this, he looked at Xia Ruoan with a firm gaze, hoping that she could understand the interests involved.
Xia Ruoan listened to Leng Zexi's words with an expression of disbelief on his face.
She widened her eyes and looked straight at Leng Zexi, as if she wanted to find a hint of joking in his eyes, but in the end she only saw seriousness and earnestness.
"You said grandpa has evidence? He has known for a long time that grandma's accident was caused by that mother and son?" Xia Ruoan asked in a trembling voice. This news was so shocking to her that she found it difficult to fully accept it for a while.
"How could this happen? Grandpa has always loved grandma deeply! After grandma passed away, not only did he not choose to marry someone else, he even didn't bring the mother and son back home to live."
Xia Ruoan muttered to himself as he recalled the old photos he had seen at his grandfather's house.
The grandparents in the photo always have smiles on their faces and appear to be extremely loving and harmonious. They look like a model couple who support each other and grow old together.
But now, the information revealed by Leng Zexi completely shattered Xia Ruoan's fantasy about the beautiful love between his grandparents.
She couldn't understand why her grandfather, knowing that her grandmother's death was related to the mother and son, was reluctant to take action. Instead, he allowed them to continue to go unpunished and even let them live such a comfortable and pleasant life.
As he thought about it, Xia Ruoan's eyes gradually became moist, and he couldn't believe it.
She bit her lips tightly, trying not to cry out loud, but she couldn't help but let out a slight sob in her throat: "Grandpa... obviously... loves Grandma very much..."
"That's absolutely true. Grandpa's love for grandma is unquestionable, but he has never expressed this feeling out loud. I'm sure there must be some unspeakable reasons for it. It's like protecting your father." Leng Zexi looked at her softly and explained slowly.
"I previously sent someone to investigate Xia Jiye's family's daily expenses and the condition of their current home, and discovered that none of these expenses were actually paid for by your grandfather."
"Moreover, as far as I know, this money did not come directly from your grandfather himself, but was provided to him by someone else behind the scenes, and then transferred to Xia Jiye's family through him. This shows that there must be some mysterious force protecting them in secret." Leng Zexi continued to analyze.
"When I started investigating this matter before, your grandfather noticed it. At that time, he explicitly asked me to stop interfering and told me that the time was not yet ripe."
"But surprisingly, he actually agreed to officially announce your return at Xia Meihui's engagement party. In my opinion, this means that he feels that he no longer has to worry about anything and can face everything calmly."
After hearing this, Xia Ruoan became more and more worried: "Grandpa has endured too much. I am a little worried about his condition."
She couldn't help but feel worried when she thought about this. She couldn't imagine that her grandfather, who loved her grandmother so much, had to watch day after day the murderers who killed her grandmother go unpunished, and even had to pretend to know nothing about it.
One can imagine how much pain he must be enduring in his heart!
Leng Zexi shook his head slightly, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes, "Perhaps, we can ask your eldest brother. After all, he is a doctor, so he must know something more or less."
Xia Ruoan nodded slightly, his thoughts drifting back to the past.
Previously, because her uncle's health had been poor, she had indeed asked her eldest brother to pay more attention to Grandpa Ou's condition.
As for grandpa, he looked energetic and didn't look like someone who was unwell at all.
However, now that he knew the truth, Xia Ruo'an's state of mind was different. Appearances are often deceiving, even the human body.
She secretly reminded herself not to jump to conclusions too quickly.
"I'll call my eldest brother right now and ask him to make time to visit grandpa." Xia Ruoan's words were filled with unquestionable determination.
Leng Zexi smiled lightly and waved his hand, "I have my brother's number saved in my phone, just call him with my number." Then, he touched the screen with his fingertips, and a string of familiar numbers jumped out, connecting to Mu Shen who was far away in the Ou family.
Mu Shen was handing a packet of medicine to Ouyang, then turned and walked into a quiet corner and answered the sudden call.
On the other end of the line, Leng Zexi's voice was filled with a subtle anxiety. After all, as a doctor, every time he was called, he was often accompanied by a certain uneasy premonition. "Leng Zexi, why are you calling so suddenly? Is An An okay?"
"Brother, it's me, Xia Ruoan." She quickly interrupted, her voice filled with a hint of urgency and anticipation, "Brother, where are you now? Are you free?"
Mu Shen's usually tense face softened a little after Xia Ruoan's voice touched him, like a spring breeze.
"Everything is fine at the Ou family. I was just changing Zhou Ling'er's medicine. What's going on? Is there something urgent over there?"
"Also remember that you are pregnant now. You must not let Leng Zexi do anything reckless. You have to take care of yourself." Mu Shen's words carried some of the care and severity unique to an older brother, and his words showed his worry.
"If he dares to disregard your safety, it will be useless to complain to me. I will come to your house in person and discipline him." Mu Shen's words were filled with unquestionable determination.
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She whispered softly, "Brother, I'm fine. It's just... can you spare some time to go to the Xia family and check on Grandpa's health for me? I'm a little worried."
There was a hint of subtle worry in her voice, but it also revealed her deep trust in Mu Shen.
"What is going on? Have you heard anything? From the outside, he seems to be in good physical condition." Mu Shen asked with confusion.
"Your third brother didn't tell me that he was in poor health." Mu Shen continued, "Is there something hidden?"
At this time, Xia Ruoan said worriedly: "Although Third Brother didn't say it, I am always worried."
"Brother Leng told me that Grandpa might have known the real reason why Grandma passed away, and he might have evidence that Xia Jiye and his mother harmed Grandma."
When he said this, Xia Ruoan's eyes turned slightly red and his voice trembled unconsciously.
She pleaded earnestly, "Brother, if you are free, could you please go visit Grandpa for me?"
Mu Shen thought for a moment, then nodded readily and said, "Okay, I happen to be a little free, I'll go over and take a look later."
After all, if things were as serious as Xia Ruoan said, then the pressure and pain that Mr. Xia must have endured must be enormous.
Thinking of this, Mu Shen couldn't help but feel pity for the old man.
Mu Shen looked at his watch and estimated the time. He felt that he should have enough time to visit and come back for dinner.
So, he carefully instructed Xia Ruoan a few more times and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Just then, Xia Lin came back with his wife after buying groceries.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Mu Shen preparing to go out. Xia Lin quickly asked, "Dinner is almost ready, why are you running out now? Are you going to come back for dinner later?"
"Come back, I'm just going to the Xia family." Mu Shen looked at the food he bought and said, "Mom, I want to eat garlic shrimp."
Zhong Yanyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll make you some garlic shrimp. Come back early."
