“Yes, Chen Chen. Look at you. You abandoned such a good wife and chased after that woman every day!” Grandma looked at Bai Ran.
“Look at our Ran Ran. How is she worse than that woman? I don’t even know what medicine that woman fed you. You’re simply bewitched! It has been two years, but you never went to see Ran Ran. As her husband, aren’t you letting her down?!”
This series of sharp questions immediately reached Chen Chen’s ears. He pursed his lips and suddenly did not want to say anything else. He turned around and wanted to leave.
“Why? Are you leaving right after you return? Do you have to go back to that woman?” Chen Chen’s mother’s tone softened.
“Is there still a place for me in this house?” Chen Chen said without turning back and disappeared out the door.
“Sigh! Why did I raise such a grandson?!” Grandma looked at Bai Ran and felt her heart ache more and more.
“Ran Ran, why don’t you chase after him and have a meal with him or something?” Chen Chen’s mother suggested, hoping that the two of them could close the distance between them. “Men are humans too. He’ll see your good side sooner or later.”
“Mom…” Bai Ran was about to reject her when she thought of something and immediately said, “Mom, I’ll go.”
Bai Ran ran out in a hurry, leaving them behind to sigh. Why couldn’t Chen Chen see the good in Ran Ran? Why was he unwilling to live well with Ran Ran?
However, they both firmly believed that Chen Chen would definitely turn back.
Bai Ran ran out and called out to Chen Chen, who was about to open the car door.
“What’s wrong? Is there something else?” Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Well, I want to ask you something. Since I’ve already made things clear with Sister Hu Wan today and I’ve done what I needed to do, should we register our divorce tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow?” Chen Chen raised his eyebrows even higher.
“That’s right. I just want to finish this as soon as possible. I want to move out as soon as possible. That way…” Bai Ran continued talking, but she was quickly interrupted by Chen Chen.
Chen Chen’s eyes flickered as he asked, “Are you that anxious? Is what you told Hu Wan this afternoon true?”
“Huh?” Bai Ran’s eyes suddenly lifted. She was a little stunned and speechless. Wasn’t this the outcome he wanted? He was clearly more anxious.
“I’m not free tomorrow. Wait for my notice!” Chen Chen shouted impatiently. He was angry for no reason when he saw her at a loss.
“Ah, okay.” Bai Ran nodded obediently.
When Chen Chen left and could no longer be seen, Bai Ran finally relaxed. She could finally stop pretending. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes unconsciously.
When she thought about how he did not love her and wanted to divorce her, her heart still hurt for no reason.
However, she had to get this divorce over with as soon as possible and stay far away from him. Only then could she no longer see him being good to another woman. She could no longer feel his disregard for her and stop herself from falling deeper and deeper.
After dinner, Bai Ran rushed to her mother’s hospital to take care of her.
Bai Ran walked to the bed and tucked her mother in. Then, she sat beside her and prepared to peel an apple. When her mother woke up, she would feed her.
She looked at her sleeping mother. Her body was swollen, but her eyes were deep. Her cheekbones were so thin that they had caved in. Blood dialysis every day had tortured her mother to the point that she no longer looked human.
Two years ago, when her mother was diagnosed with uremia, she had done a match on her own. However, the result was that she did not match up. Fortunately, with the help of the Chen family, she successfully found a match and paid a huge surgery fee to help her mother escape from the critical period.
However, recently, it had suddenly become more serious and caused many other symptoms. It was no longer possible to continue with a kidney transplant. Currently, she could only rely on blood dialysis to keep herself alive. But now, even the doctor had told her that her mother’s symptoms were so serious that she could not delay any longer. He wanted her to be mentally prepared.
At the thought of this, Bai Ran’s tears fell again.
Perhaps it was the telepathy between the mother and daughter or the sound of movement, but Bai Ran’s mother suddenly woke up.
“Ran Ran, why are you crying? Did Chen Chen bully you?” Bai Ran’s mother was a little anxious and wanted to sit up to wipe Bai Ranran’s tears.
When Bai Ran saw her mother’s difficult movements, she hurriedly stood up and wiped her tears. She comforted her mother and laid her down. “Mom, it’s nothing. When I came in earlier, I accidentally hit the corner of my eye on the door frame. It hurt a little, that’s why I cried.”
“Ah, are you okay?” Bai Ran’s mother was a little anxious when she heard this.
“Mom, it’s just a small matter. Don’t worry.” Bai Ran soothed her mother’s heart. “Just lie down properly and listen to the doctor. Treat your wounds well. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“How can I not care? If I leave, what if you’re left alone?” Bai Ran’s mother said sadly.
“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?! What do you mean by leaving?! I’ll be angry if you continue!” Bai Ran pretended to be angry as the corners of her mouth twitched.
