The night before the trial.
While Ruan Chutang was taking a shower in the bathroom, he heard a sound of something breaking in the bedroom.
She quickly rinsed off the foam on her body, put on her pajamas and came out to check.
The bedroom was empty, with a pile of ceramic debris on the floor.
Ruan Chutang could tell at a glance that the broken object was the ceramic doll her mother had left her.
It was a light blue cinnamon dog that she and her mother dyed together at a DIY store on her twelfth birthday, with her and her mother's names engraved on the back.
The moment she saw the debris all over the ground, Ruan Chutang felt her blood rushing up and anger consumed her in an instant.
"Who is it!" she roared and rushed out of the bedroom door.
"Bang bang bang--" Ruan Chutang came to the door of the room opposite where Gu Zechuan was sleeping and banged on the door hard with his hands.
"Gu Zechuan! Chen Wan! Who of you entered my room?"
Gu Zechuan's door opened, and the man's eyes were filled with impatience. "What are you doing so late at night? Can't you let me sleep?"
Ruan Chutang's chest heaved violently with rage, and her eyes were fierce and murderous, "Gu Zechuan, did you just go to my room?"
"Who went to your room?" Gu Zechuan frowned. "Don't be unreasonable. I was just reading the contract in the room and didn't go out."
"If it's not you, then it's Chen Wan." Ruan Chutang stopped talking nonsense with Gu Zechuan and turned around and walked towards Chen Wan's room.
Chen Wan's room is at the end of the corridor.
Seeing that Ruan Chutang was in a rage, Gu Zechuan followed him, fearing that something might happen.
"Chen Wan! Open the door!" Ruan Chutang was so angry that he kicked Chen Wan's door.
Gu Zechuan was stunned.
Is this still the gentle and gullible Ruan Chutang he knows?
What happened? Why is she so angry?
Chen Wan slowly opened the door, "Ruan Chutang, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Chutang grabbed Chen Wan's wrist and dragged her towards her room.
Chen Wan struggled and followed Ruan Chutang's steps in a disorderly manner.
"Let me go! Ruan Chutang, let me go!"
Ruan Chutang brought the person into the room and shook Chen Wan away with a strong swing of his hand.
"Ah!" Chen Wan lost her balance, stumbled, and hit her knee on the cabinet beside her.
"Ruan Chutang, are you sick?" Chen Wan shouted angrily, covering her knees.
"Did you break my porcelain doll?" Ruan Chutang approached with an imposing manner, "Why did you come to my room just now?"
Chen Wan's eyes were evasive, and she was obviously feeling guilty. "I...I didn't. I didn't go anywhere in the room just now. Don't accuse me wrongly."
Ruan Chutang looked directly into Chen Wan's eyes and said coldly, "Really? I just came out of the bathroom and happened to see the hem of your beige skirt through the crack in the bedroom door."
"You're talking nonsense! I was clearly wearing a gray skirt when I went there just now. This beige long skirt is mine..." Chen Wan spoke faster than her brain. She only realized it belatedly after she had said half of her words.
She was furious, "Ruan Chutang, you lied to me! You didn't even see the hem of my skirt!"
"You what?" Ruan Chutang glared at Chen Wan coldly, "You just changed into this beige dress, right?"
Ruan Chutang's eyes flashed with coldness, and his voice was as cold as the frost in the cold winter. "What are you doing in my room?"
Chen Wan was frightened by her gaze and shuddered subconsciously, "I... I was just going to take a look..."
"Why are you hanging around my room?"
Chen Wan swallowed, fearing that Ruan Chutang would find out what she had done.
"I...I am..."
"Alright!" Gu Zechuan took two steps forward to protect Chen Wan. "Ruan Chutang, stop looking for trouble. It's just a broken porcelain doll. If it breaks, just buy another one. Why are you making things difficult for Chen Wan?"
"Pa——" A crisp and loud slapping sound suddenly rang out.
Ruan Chutang slapped Gu Zechuan with all her might.
Gu Zechuan and Chen Wan were both stunned.
"Get lost!" Ruan Chutang yelled at Gu Zechuan, "It's none of your business! Why should you forgive me on my behalf?"
Seeing Gu Zechuan being slapped, Chen Wan became furious. She pushed Gu Zechuan away and angrily confronted Ruan Chutang, "Why did you hit me?"
"Pa——" Another loud slap was heard.
"You get out too!"
A red slap mark instantly appeared on Chen Wan's face.
Chen Wan was slapped in the face and was angry and anxious. How could she let it go?
She widened her eyes and raised her hand to slap him, but Ruan Chutang grabbed her wrist and threw her to the side. Chen Wan fell to the ground, her palm pressed on the pile of ceramic fragments, and blood was immediately dripping.
"Ah - my hand! My hand!" Chen Wan screamed in pain.
Gu Zechuan reacted and quickly went over to check on Chen Wan's injuries, "Wan Wan, are you okay?"
"You deserve it!" Ruan Chutang looked at him coldly, "You wouldn't have been hurt if you hadn't broken it."
"Ruan Chutang, you've gone too far!" Gu Zechuan glared at Ruan Chutang and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and apologize to Wanwan!"
Ruan Chutang's eyes were grim. "She should apologize to me. She broke my things."
"Zechuan, it hurts so much." Chen Wan leaned in Gu Zechuan's arms, crying bitterly, "Please take me to the hospital quickly, I'm in so much pain."
"Wanwan, bear with it, I'll take you to the hospital now."
Gu Zechuan picked up Chen Wan and carried her sideways. When he passed by Ruan Chutang, he glared at her fiercely and said gloomily, "Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"
"Okay." Ruan Chutang replied straightforwardly with a blank expression.
Gu Zechuan paused, feeling that Ruan Chutang was really abnormal.
But he didn't care about that. Blood was still dripping from Chen Wan's hand. He turned around and looked at Ruan Chutang deeply, then hurried downstairs with Chen Wan in his arms.
After the two men left, the room finally became quiet.
Ruan Chutang slowly walked to the pile of ceramic fragments, squatted down and tried to touch the fragments with trembling hands.
Tears fell drop by drop on the broken ceramic pieces.
"Mom, I'm sorry... I couldn't protect the gift you left for me... I'm sorry, Mom..."
In the huge room, the girl squatted on the ground and cried inconsolably.
When Chutang was twelve years old, his mother fell seriously ill.
The gentle and quiet woman who always had a smile on her lips was tortured by illness and became haggard and emaciated.
Chutang had just started junior high school at that time, and the first thing he did after school every day was not to go home but to go to the hospital.
She stayed with her mother Su Qingyun, telling her interesting things that happened at school and singing the teacher's Protestant songs to her.
"Mom, when will you get better?" Little Chutang sat beside his mother's bed, with a hint of sadness in his clear eyes.
My mother has been ill for more than half a year, and her condition seems to be getting worse day by day.
Su Qingyun gently touched Xiao Chutang's head, a gentle arc appeared on her lips, and she said softly: "The doctor said that Mom will be able to be discharged soon."
"Really?" Xiao Chutang's eyes lit up and he asked crisply.
"Yeah." Su Qingyun's lips were pale, and her face was bloodless. However, the look she gave Xiao Chutang was gentle and firm. "Mom will be discharged from the hospital in a few days and will be with Tangtang for her birthday."
"Great."
Xiao Chutang believed it.
She thought her mother would really recover soon.
Later she found out that the "discharge" her mother mentioned did not mean discharge after recovery, but rather that she was terminally ill and the doctor was unable to save her. He suggested that she be discharged to spend more time with her family and fulfill her unfulfilled wish.
