Later, I paid the CEO's ex-husband

Liang Ying is a middle-aged man in his 30s, with a medium build, wearing a gray plaid shirt, black trousers, messy hair, but piercing eyes.When Chu Ruo and Ren Chuming rushed out from the backstage of the venue, they saw him surrounded by reporters, whose microphones and cameras were all aimed at him, while he calmly read the contents of the paper in his hand .

"...Feng Xing, born in 1968, was a migrant worker in the city. He was penniless and desperate because he wanted to treat his father who was suffering from cancer. He found Kaiyi Financial Company and borrowed 10 yuan. , but he found out that the interest was rolling, and it eventually rolled into a big snowball, and he could no longer afford the interest alone. He had no children, and his father had just passed away due to a serious illness. He was desperate again and was about to end his life. Life, Chu Ruo, Chu Nantian's adopted son, happened to come to his door at that time. Chu Ruo gave Feng Xing a large sum of money to pay off part of the debt first, and gave Feng Xing an air ticket. Ask Feng Xing to leave Fangyou City and start anew in another place. Feng Xing paid back the money, got on a plane to a new life, and finally settled down in a certain city and started a new life. Now he is married, and With three children, life is on the right track."

"He Jin, born in 1988, is a deaf-mute. His younger sister He Jingjing was diagnosed with leukemia. In order to treat his younger sister, he dropped out of school and worked five jobs a day. He never took a break, but he still couldn't make up for the medical expenses for his younger sister's medical treatment. At this time, he found Kaiyi, first borrowed 5 yuan, and then borrowed 3 yuan. When the debt was demanded, because Kaiyi's salesman frightened him, he fell from the platform on the third floor and broke his leg. Kaiyi's salesman left, and He Jin was sent to the hospital by his neighbors for treatment. Chu Ruo came to the hospital and gave He Jin a sum of money and an air ticket. He Jin returned the money, took the air ticket, and his sister They left Fangyou City together. Now He Jin and his younger sister are still living together, He Jin is working part-time and studying for a master's degree at the university, and his younger sister is also starting to study with the local help."

"In addition to Feng Xing and He Jin, there are also He Liang, Liang Jiaxi, Bao Tian, ​​Shi Zirao, Li Rugao...including my father, a total of 75 sufferers. These 75 sufferers and their families have all been in Chu Ruo and Chairman Chu With the help of Yunhua, they passed the most difficult stage in their lives. What they gave to the sufferers was not just a sum of money, as simple as an air ticket, but also a hope!"

"Chu Ruo gave all of us a hope to continue to face life. He pulled us all out of the mud. Today, I don't know how you people plan to treat Chu Ruo, but we can't remain indifferent. These These are the signatures of the sufferers, and these are our solidarity with Chu Ruo."

Standing outside the crowd, Chu Ruo heard Liang Ying's slightly trembling voice firmly saying these words, her body began to tremble involuntarily.Ren Chuming grabbed his hand and held his trembling fingertips in his palm.

Liang Ying's eyes passed through the tight crowd, and locked onto Chu Ruo who was outside the crowd, and his eyes lit up immediately.But he didn't say anything, but faced Chu Ruo, looked at Chu Ruo seriously, and said:

"I'm just an ordinary person, and these sufferers are also ordinary people. I don't understand too much about your circle, but I heard that you are going to quit the circle. If you quit the circle because you don't want to be an actor, all of us will support you But if you want to quit the circle because you feel sorry for us, we think it’s okay. We were saved by you, and you are our benefactor. Chairman Chu Yunhua has passed away, we can’t repay the favor, but at least we I want you to have a good life. Mr. Chu Ruo, please stick to your own ideals, we will be your fans for life—although we haven’t seen your works yet.”

The reporters followed Liang Ying's line of sight, turned around, saw that Chu Ruo had appeared, and immediately turned the microphone and camera to Chu Ruo.Ren Chuming quickly embraced Chu Ruo with one hand, and extended the other hand to block the menacing microphone.

Those reporters were blocked by Ren Chuming, but they didn't give up. Questions came one after another——

"Is what this guy said true?"

"Since you helped them, why didn't you mention it when you spoke just now?"

"Is this a trick you guys have colluded with? Is this Mr. Liang a trustee?"

"Is this a show?"

……

After all, Liang Ying was an outsider. After hearing this kind of question, she immediately couldn't hold back her impatience: "Why are you talking like this—"

Chu Ruo looked up at Liang Ying and shook her head.

Liang Ying frowned, but kept her mouth shut.

Chu Ruo asked the staff to take Liang Ying away from the venue, and then, under the protection of Ren Chuming, walked through the crowd and returned to the backstage.

Liang Ying walked towards Chu Ruo, stood in front of Chu Ruo, thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Chu Ruo, this is the only thing we can do for you..."

Chu Ruo looked at him and shook her head: "Mr. Liang, you shouldn't have come today, and you shouldn't have asked everyone to sign."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ying immediately said: "I know, we are all amateurs, and our behavior may be a bit reckless, which may hinder you, but after we read the report, we cannot remain indifferent. You have given us all hope, and we cannot just sit idly by. Watching you being deported and slandered... we must stand up and do something for you."

"It's hard for you to live a peaceful life. Now that you have come forward, there will definitely be many people who will harass you." Chu Ruo sighed and said, "The media reporters are not bad, but I am afraid of Chu Nantian's lackeys. When I saw you in your early days, I went to bother you again."

"Mr. Chu Ruo doesn't have to worry about this issue." Liang Ying smiled and said, "All of us have already contacted Police Officer Bai before deciding to come forward, and Officer Bai will send someone to protect us. Taking this opportunity, if When Chu Nantian's lackeys come to the door, Police Officer Bai's subordinates will take action, and in this way, they can catch them all in one go."

"The era of Chu Nantian has passed." Liang Ying finally said, "We have all gained a new life, and I hope that Mr. Chu Ruo can also start a new life."

As Liang Ying said, Bai Heng did arrange for a police officer to escort him.Chu Ruo was still worried. When Liang Ying told the police officer that he wanted to go back, he asked Liu Guo to follow him, and specifically told him not to leave until he saw Liang Ying get on the plane.After that, Huawen continued to deal with the follow-up matters of the press conference, while Ren Chuming drove Chu Ruo home.

Chu Ruo sat in the co-pilot seat, leaning her head against the car window, staring at the speeding scenery outside the window.

Ren Chuming didn't speak at first, but when the car got on the highway, he looked ahead and suddenly said, "I said, you are better than you imagined."

Chu Ruo moved, and slowly turned her head in the dark, looking at Ren Chuming, without speaking.

"You saved a lot of people." Ren Chuming glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to the road ahead, "These people also saved you today."

Chu Ruo let out a sigh of relief slowly, and said, "They are kind."

"That's also because you release your kindness first." Ren Chuming said, "The relationship between people is mutual. If you release your kindness, the other party catches it, and one day it will give it back to you."

"What about the three people who died?" Chu Ruo's voice trembled, "I can't forget—the reason why I saved them later was because three people left before. Am I expressing goodwill? I am guilty .”

"Then live well with these feelings of guilt." Ren Chuming thought for a while, and then said slowly, "I won't persuade you that the deaths of those three people were not caused by you, but I just want to tell you, no Human life is flawless, and no one can completely shake off the negative emotions of inferiority and self-blame, but as long as you don’t give up and work hard, you will find the answer one day.”

"Find the answer to what question?"

"The answer to why you want to live." Ren Chuming replied, turning his head to look at him, "There will always be an answer."

Chu Ruo pondered for a while, leaned her head back on the seat, and suddenly said, "If you want to find the answer, should you start from the source?"

"What do you mean?"

Chu Ruo intertwined her hands and fingers tightly, and said, "I want to know who my biological parents are."

Hearing this sentence, Ren Chuming immediately tightened his hand holding the steering wheel.He took a deep breath calmly, opened the car window a little, and the cool breeze outside the window slowly entered.With the cool wind blowing, he said flatly: "Really."

"I want to know who they are, where they live, and how they are doing now..." Chu Ruo said in a low voice, "Also, I want to know why they didn't want me back then."

"Then you have to start looking for it from the orphanage you were in back then."

"I asked Bu Yang to check it before. The orphanage is on the outskirts of Fangyou City, only [-] kilometers away from our home, but I have never been there." Chu Ruo said with a light smile "Maybe it's because of fear."

When Chu Ruo was talking, a car behind them flashed their high beams several times. While listening to Chu Ruo, Ren Chuming looked at the situation behind the car from the rearview mirror and found a black van behind them.

Ren Chuming kept moving forward at the original speed, but still kept an eye on the rear.

Chu Ruo was keenly aware of Ren Chuming's strangeness, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Ren Chuming comforted him: "It's okay."

Chu Ruo frowned: "Are you really okay?"

Ren Chuming glanced at the rearview mirror, then looked back at Chu Ruo, and said softly, "You will be fine." As soon as the words fell, Ren Chuming suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the front of the car rushed past the roadblock on the right in an instant. Go straight to the deserted wasteland on the right!

At the same time, the black van that suddenly sped up from behind also roared past their car, barely brushing past Ren Chuming's car!

Because of the huge inertia of the front of the car rushing forward, Chu Ruo was in the air for a few moments, but his back was always tightly attached to the back of the seat.This is because no matter what, Ren Chuming, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, pressed Chu Ruo's chest with the other hand from beginning to end, firmly holding Chu Ruo in place.In addition, Chu Ruo was wearing a seat belt, so Chu Ruo didn't rush out of the windshield window.

The car rushed a long way on the wasteland, Ren Chuming slammed on the brakes, then shifted gears, backed up, turned around, and was about to rush back to the main road, when the black van just now had its headlights flashing and was driving along The slope is coming at a fast speed!

Seeing that the van was about to hit them, Ren Chuming, who tensed his jaw, shifted gears again and backed up, but the moment he saw the rearview mirror, he slammed on the brakes.

But it was too late, the rear car slammed into the rear of their car with a bang, Ren Chuming and Chu Ruo both rushed forward fiercely because of the force and inertia of the collision.

Ren Chuming still did not forget to put his arm across Chu Ruo's face in the flash and flint, protecting Chu Ruo tightly.

Chu Ruo was startled by this series of events and her heart beat faster, and the memories of the car accident two years ago also flooded her mind at this time.

The sound of a huge explosion, a scorching red sea, the piercing pain, the despair of seeing important people gradually lose their breath... These fragments were suppressed in his heart, and at this moment they all surged up.Chu Ruo's whole body seemed to be frozen, she could only sit in place, her lips and face were pale, and her whole body was shaking violently.

"Ruoruo, Ruoruo..." Ren Chuming's voice was close to his ear, and finally he called out even louder, "Chu Ruo!"

Chu Ruo trembled, turned her head suddenly to look at Ren Chuming, and touched Ren Chuming's face with trembling hands: "You didn't...you didn't...are you okay?!"

"Are you okay?" Ren Chuming looked at him with burning eyes, and asked him in a calm voice.

Chu Ruo shook his head, Ren Chuming quickly checked Chu Ruo up and down, and after confirming that Chu Ruo was fine, he said, "You are in the car, don't get out."

"No..." Chu Ruo came back to his senses, grabbed Ren Chuming's hand and asked, "What's going on?!" He turned around to look, and saw a few black cars parked behind them. Directly in front of them, the black van was also motionless.

"Who are they?" Chu Ruo asked.

"I don't know." Ren Chuming said, "I have already called the police. Now we can't rush out, so we can only stay in the car, don't get out of the car, and wait for the police to come."

"What the hell are they trying to do?" Chu Ruo grabbed Ren Chuming's hand and tightened it.

Ren Chuming shook his head lightly: "I don't know, but you don't have to be afraid." Ren Churuo grabbed his hand, and with the other hand, he touched Chu Ruo's shoulder, rubbed it a few times, and patted it.

But at this moment, the rear door of the black van in front suddenly opened, and a man got out of the car, walked in the place illuminated by the headlights, crossed his arms, and looked coldly at the two people in the car.

When Chu Ruo saw it, she was suffocated.Ren Chuming's face was also not good-looking.

The man who got out of the car walked up to Ren Chuming's car, tapped the hood of the car with his knuckles, and made a gesture of "get off the car".

Chu Ruo stared at the man closely, and after a while, said softly, "That's my brother."

Ren Chuming looked at Chu Ruo.

"It's my second brother, Chu Huashan."
