After taking the photo, Jiang Shixu handed the phone to Chutang. His eyes were calm and his tone was indifferent. "It seems your friend sent you a message."

"Huh? Let me take a look."

Ruan Chutang opened the message and his face froze when he saw it.

She knew that when a mobile phone received a text message, the content would automatically be displayed in a banner, and Jiang Shixu must have seen it.

She looked back at him guiltily and explained, "Ex-boyfriend, we broke up."

"Yeah." Jiang Shixu's expression was indifferent, with no emotion in his eyes.

"I have blocked his WeChat account, but forgot to block his phone number."

Chu Tang was a little flustered. She didn't know what she was feeling guilty about. She was already 25 years old, so it was normal for her to have an ex-boyfriend.

Moreover, she was in love before agreeing to the marriage, and she didn't do anything to offend Jiang Shixu, so why should she feel guilty?

After thinking this through, Ruan Chutang calmed down and said, "I'll block him right now."

Then, in front of Jiang Shixu, he blacklisted Gu Zechuan's mobile phone number.

Finally, she added: "Don't worry, since I have agreed to marry you, my ex-boyfriend will only be a thing of the past."

Jiang Shixu nodded, his dark and deep eyes still showing no emotion, but the moment Chutang turned around, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

……

Ruan Chutang and Jiang Shixu played for a few days and then set off to return to Jiangcheng.

She didn't tell her family in advance that she would be returning today, so no one from the Ruan family came to pick her up after she got off the plane.

Jiang Shixu's assistant who came to pick him up at the airport.

The black Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped at the door of the Ruan family villa.

"Do you want me to go in with you?" Jiang Shixu asked.

Ruan Chutang shook his head, "No need."

"it is good."

Chu Tang stood by the gate, feeling a little nervous about returning home.

Jiang Shixu saw her hesitation and did not stay long.

Ruan Chutang rang the doorbell only after the car drove away. She didn't bring her key when she ran away from home. Now, after three years, she had to ring the doorbell when she returned home. Ruan Chutang felt a little weird.

The person who opened the door was the nanny, Chen Ma. I was stunned the moment I saw her.

"Miss...you're back?" Aunt Chen's voice was a little choked.

Ruan Chutang felt a pang in his heart and hummed softly.

"You're finally back. Great... I'll call and inform Mr. right away."

"He's not home?"

"Well, the husband is at the company, and the wife went to the second young lady's school to participate in a parent-child activity."

No one was at home, Ruan Chutang breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just returned home and wanted to take a breath and didn't want to face their family.

Her stepmother, sister, and the father with whom she had been at odds for several years, each of them gave her a headache.

Chu Tang went to the bedroom. The furnishings and decoration inside were exactly the same as before she left. The room was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust. It was obvious that someone cleaned it every day.

She took out the things in the suitcase and put them away, then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Coming out of the bathroom, Aunt Chen knocked on the door and called out, "Miss, what would you like for dinner? I'm going to buy some groceries now."

Chu Tang opened the door and said with a faint smile: "It's still the same as before."

"Okay!" Aunt Chen smiled, happy from the bottom of her heart.

She has served in the Ruan family for more than ten years and watched Chutang grow up. In her heart, Chutang is like her own biological daughter.

On the night Su Qingyun passed away, it was she who brought back little Chutang who had fallen in the snow.

After Su Qingyun left, Ruan Shaodong was depressed for a long time and had no time to take care of his daughter. During the days when Chutang had a high fever, it was Chen Ma who took care of her in the hospital without taking off her clothes.

Chu Tang was so grief-stricken by her mother's death that she lost her appetite. It was Chen Ma who accompanied her, comforted her, and patiently coaxed her to eat.

If it weren’t for Aunt Chen, Chu Tang probably wouldn’t have made it.

In Chutang's heart, Chen Ma is like her relative.

She hasn't contacted Ruan Shaodong in the past three years, but she still calls to say hello to Chen Ma during holidays.

Thinking of something, Ruan Chutang took out a box of gifts and handed it to Chen Ma, "This is Haicheng's most famous specialty, bird's nest. You can stew it and eat it."

Aunt Chen took it with a smile, "I'll stew it for Miss tonight."

"No." Chu Tang shook his head. "I bought this specially for you. I've eaten it many times, so I brought it back for you to try."

"This... can't be done." Aunt Chen quickly waved her hand to refuse.

Chu Tang stuffed the bird's nest into Chen Ma's arms and said, "Please accept it. You have been worried about me a lot over the years. This is a small token of my appreciation."

Mother Chen's eyes were filled with tears. "Miss..."

"Sister! Sister, you're back!" A clear and tender voice sounded. As soon as the words fell, a little girl rushed over and hugged Chu Tang.

"Jiaojiao missed you so much, you are finally back!" The little girl hugged Chutang's thighs, looked up at her, her eyes sparkling and her face full of joy.

The girl is her half-sister Ruan Jiaojiao, who is eight years old.

Ruan Jiaojiao has liked to stick to her since she was a child, but Chu Tang has always been rather cold towards Ruan Jiaojiao.

Chu Tang didn't like Ruan Jiaojiao's mother, so he didn't like her either.

But children are innocent after all, and Ruan Jiaojiao is very simple and cute, and she only wants to be close to her sister, so although Chu Tang doesn't like her, he doesn't hate her either.

Chu Tang lowered his eyes to look at Ruan Jiaojiao and asked her, "You're leaving school so early?"

"Jiaojiao heard from Aunt Chen that you were back, and she couldn't wait to go home to see you, so we came back early." Yang Xuelian walked over with a smile.

Ruan Chutang's expression froze slightly.

Before she ran away from home, she almost had "I don't like my stepmother" written on her face. She hardly spoke to her stepmother all year round.

Chu Tang hated Yang Xuelian not only because Ruan Shaodong betrayed his mother and married her, but the main reason was that Yang Xuelian was her mother Su Qingyun's best friend.

In Chutang's heart, Yang Xuelian is a scheming woman who even doesn't let go of her best friend's husband.

Ruan Shaodong is a scumbag who is so hungry that he gets involved with his ex-wife's best friend.

Based on these, after her mother passed away, Chu Tang gradually changed from a good girl who was praised by everyone when she was young to a rebellious girl with a rebellious nature.

Seeing Chu Tang didn't say anything, Yang Xuelian smiled and said, "Chutang, you must be tired. You should have a good rest. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Ruan Jiaojiao shook Chu Tang's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister, come to my room and play for a while. I drew a picture. Do you want to take a look?"

Chu Tang pulled his hand away, his expression cold, "No, I need to rest."

"Oh, okay then." The little girl withdrew her hand angrily, lowered her head and pouted, looking unhappy.

Yang Xuelian took Ruan Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Don't disturb my sister's rest."

Aunt Chen stood aside, looking a little embarrassed. She said, "Madam, Miss, I'll go buy some groceries first."

After Chen Ma left, Yang Xuelian also left with Ruan Jiaojiao.

Chu Tang closed the door and the world became quiet.

……

In the evening, Ruan Shaodong came back and the family sat at the dining table to prepare for dinner.

Ruan Shaodong looked at Chu Tang and said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were going home today?"

Chu Tang replied: "What will happen if I tell you, and what will happen if I don't tell you?"

There was a strong smell of gunpowder as soon as she opened her mouth.

Ruan Shaodong frowned, "It's been three years, why haven't you changed your temper?"

Chu Tang said with a half-smile, "It's been three years, why haven't you and Aunt Yang divorced yet?"
