Luo Honglan looked at Luo Cuilan whom she hadn’t seen for a long ti. Luo Cuilan appeared much thinner, her complexion was waxen yellow, and her hair was severely dry; at first glance, she looked like she had aged a decade.
Although Zhang Jianguo left, Luo Cuilan had Zhuzhu by her side, so she wasn’t devastated, but at this ti, being suddenly abandoned by a man, the pain she felt inside was unimaginable to most people.
Especially since Luo Cuilan and Zhang Jianguo were once deeply in love, how could she not be heartbroken? It was only because she was proud and refused to show it, but the pain in her heart had already penetrated deep into her marrow.
If one can’t be truly happy from within, how can they not age?
Since Fang Pingying ca back, she also spoke about so matters regarding Luo Cuilan, so Luo Honglan was sowhat aware, seeing her elder sister, she felt imnse pity and held Luo Cuilan’s hand, compassionately saying, "Elder sister, it hasn’t been long, how have you aged so much?"
Before Luo Cuilan could respond, Luo Honglan’s eyes fell on Zhuzhu next to her. She imdiately put Yaoyao down on the ground, then crouched beside Zhuzhu, touched his face, and asked, "Oh, I heard from sister-in-law a few days ago that Zhuzhu was hospitalized. Dad and I were thinking of visiting Zhuzhu once my older brother gets a day off tomorrow."
Seeing Luo Honglan’s care for herself, Luo Cuilan felt a slight sting in her nose and didn’t know what to say. She pushed Zhuzhu gently towards Luo Honglan and softly said, "Zhuzhu, call her Little Aunt."
Zhuzhu hadn’t seen Luo Honglan much since he was born, and even if he had t her, he wouldn’t rember, he was a bit shy and kept hiding behind Luo Cuilan but obediently called out, "Little Aunt."
Luo Cuilan let out a sigh, reached out to pull Zhuzhu, "Co here, let Little Aunt hold you."
Zhuzhu still hid behind Luo Cuilan and refused to co over.
As Luo Honglan was about to coax him with a laugh, Yaoyao beside her suddenly looked at Zhuzhu with her big round eyes, then leaned close to Luo Honglan’s ear, and spoke in a loud whisper, "Little Auntie, who is this, why is he so timid?"
The little girl seed to know she was speaking ill of Zhuzhu, so she lowered her voice. However, she couldn’t control the volu of her whisper, and everyone there heard her.
Luo Cuilan looked at this chubby yet very beautiful little girl’s mischievous deanor, couldn’t help but smile, and also squatted down next to Yaoyao, smiling, she asked, "Is this the child from your older brother’s family?"
"Yes, her na is Yaoyao." After saying that, Luo Honglan pointed at Zhuzhu and explained to Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, this is Big Aunt, this is brother Zhuzhu."
Though Yaoyao wasn’t familiar with Big Aunt, she often heard Little Aunt, and after tilting her head to think for a while, she almost understood that Big Aunt and Little Aunt were similarly close relatives. She imdiately affectionately grabbed Luo Cuilan’s hand, sweetly calling, "Big Aunt, take brother Zhuzhu to my house to play. My house has a lot of toys and lots of yummy things."
After speaking, she reached out to hold Zhuzhu’s hand, "Brother Zhuzhu, I’ll take you."
Luo Cuilan’s heart lted at the sweet voice of the little girl, she touched Yaoyao’s head and smiled, "Big brother’s kids are raised really well."
After saying that, she nodded at Zhuzhu, "Zhuzhu, go upstairs with your sister."
In front of Yaoyao, Zhuzhu wasn’t so shy and imdiately followed Yaoyao upstairs.
Luo Cuilan and Luo Honglan were still standing at the stairwell, with Luo Cuilan feeling a bit embarrassed to go up, but Luo Honglan could see what she was thinking and smiled, "Big sister, you ca specially to visit big brother’s house today, didn’t you?"
"Yes, the last incident with Zhuzhu was all thanks to sister-in-law’s help, I thought of coming to thank her, but this..." Luo Cuilan said, feeling sowhat embarrassed as she looked at the inexpensive fruits and snacks she was holding, which she had planned to buy for the kids.
Thinking that she ca to express gratitude to Fang Pingying, but only brought such trivial items after borrowing so much money from her, she felt uneasy.
Luo Honglan saw what she was thinking, imdiately smiled and patted her, taking the stuff from her hands, "Big sister, it’s okay, after all, we’re family. Your willingness to co makes big brother and sister-in-law too happy to care, plus, these snacks are sothing Yaoyao and the others love to eat."
Hearing this, Luo Cuilan felt relieved and no longer awkward, and followed Luo Honglan upstairs.
Since Yaoyao and Zhuzhu had already gone up, Fang Pingying also knew that Luo Cuilan had co and was already waiting at the doorway.
As soon as she saw Luo Cuilan and the others co up, Fang Pingying imdiately smiled and welcod Luo Cuilan in, "Luo Cuilan, you’re here, please take a seat."
"Sister-in-law, I...," Luo Cuilan entered the room still feeling a bit constrained, not knowing what to say, as everything seed rather pretentious, but there were words she must say today.
Seeing her deanor, Fang Pingying smiled, probably understanding her thoughts, didn’t stop her, but pulled her to sit down, softly asking, "Do you have sothing to say?"
Luo Cuilan nodded, a bit unsure of where to begin, too shy to start speaking, hesitated for a long ti, and finally mustered the courage to express her thoughts, "Sister-in-law, to be honest about the past, I really have no face to co here, but now I truly realize my mistakes, and I hope you can forgive once. , big brother, Honglan, we are ultimately... siblings. Through this matter, I’ve co to understand how important family ties are. From now on, I will definitely value the things that should be valued."
Actually, the last ti, Fang Pingying had already forgiven Luo Cuilan sowhat. Today, hearing Luo Cuilan say these words, Fang Pingying was very happy.
Her words remained the sa, no matter what, she hoped that family mbers would be good, and if possible, she hoped that the whole family could live together peacefully. However, she also understood that so people can change and are willing to change then truly have an epiphany, like Fang Xiu, Luo Cuilan.
But so people never change in their lifetis, as their hearts simply don’t know what is right and what is wrong, like Xu He and Zhou Yuni.
Thus, after hearing Luo Cuilan’s words, Fang Pingying smiled with relief, patted Luo Cuilan’s hand and said, "Cuilan, it’s good that you understand these things. Live well from now on, if you have issues you can discuss them with and your big brother, you can be like Honglan if you wish."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Hearing these words, Luo Cuilan was incredibly touched, her voice even choked up, she had always thought of Fang Pingying as a formidable person and never knew that Fang Pingying was so magnanimous, it seed she was truly blind before.
