“Your father kept his distance from won, living his life wandering between work and social engagents, always coming ho no matter how late it was.”
Xu Zhaoyin admired that there were such few good n in the world who cared for their family like this, good husbands and good fathers.
“I haven’t noticed anything abnormal with your dad so far on my side.”
Xu Zhaoyin couldn’t help but remind, “Miss Ren, misunderstandings are the most feared thing between family mbers. Being frank is one way to resolve things.”
Look, even these private detectives couldn't find evidence of Father's affair. Staring at him like this, they couldn't find a shred of clues.
It showed just how discreet and watertight her father conducted his affairs.
No wonder in her last life, she and her mother were caught off guard.
No wonder until the day Xu Zhaoyin's grandparents died, they never knew their good son-in-law had ulterior motives like a wolf.
Since she had been reborn and returned, Father had not t with Ruan Fengru and her daughter face to face. His self-restraint almost made her feel like what happened in her previous life was just her own imagining.
"Uncle Xu, please keep watching my dad. If anything happens, you must let know as soon as possible."
Xu Zhaoyin wondered why this child was at odds with her own father.
If your own father didn't have an affair, wasn't that a good thing?
Guided by the principle that the custor is king, Xu Zhaoyin agreed.
After hanging up the phone with him, Ren Ran was in no mood to continue doing questions.
Today's events, while not fruitless, at least allowed her to see the crisis of trust Mother had towards Father. Mother was starting to wake up and no longer imrsed in the beautiful dream Father had woven for her.
That she could face the problem head on ant she had taken a step forward.
The last step, she had to help Mother along.
If Father could refrain from taking the initiative to find Ruan Fengru and her daughter, then she would make Ruan Fengru and her daughter take the initiative to find him.
Ren Ran still could not say she understood 100% what kind of person Ruan Fengru was, but at least she knew Ruan Fengru was soone even more patient than Father.
She still rembered that in her previous life, relying on the Ren family's assets, Ruan Fengru made great strides in financial circles, the so-called woman of strength in the dia.
Part of it was because she had the Ren family's assets to support her, but it could not be denied that she had this ability herself. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to gain a foothold in that circle.
Ruan Fengru, she did not want to confront for the ti being. The only target she could and should deal with was one person.
Kong Lian!
She went downstairs directly and found her father Kong Liji in the courtyard.
"Dad, it's almost your 18th wedding anniversary. Have you thought about giving Mom so kind of surprise?"
Kong Liji put down his scissors, trimd the branches of the bonsai, "Your mother doesn’t like fancy stuff. What she likes most is the dishes I make."
Ren Ran sneered inwardly.
Hearing this in the past, she only felt the love between her parents was very sweet and envied her mother for having such a loving husband.
But after experiencing the previous life, she realized he didn’t love Mother at all. He was reluctant to spend unnecessary money on Mother. He could fob her off with simply stir-frying a few dishes.
With Ruan Fengru, he would buy her jewelry and accessories worth tens of millions, and buy houses for his illegitimate daughter.
If he spent money on Mother, what money would he have left to support his mistresses and illegitimate daughters on the outside? Naturally he would be miserly towards them, wrapping it up in the na of ‘love’ to make it seem priceless.
Ren Ran carefully recalled that since her earliest mories, the gifts he had given were either a small doll, homade cards, taking her to an amusent park, or giving her a silk scarf. In short, they were of little value.
She was not obsessed with luxury goods or fussy about material things, so her past self did not feel anything about this.
She agreed that it’s the thought behind gifts that counts.
But under the guise of thoughtfulness, under the banner of ‘love’, the fact was he was unwilling to spend money on her. He wanted to save it for his illegitimate daughter. This was what she could not tolerate the most.
What was even more disgusting was that he did not love her at all, did not love Mother one bit.
If he had even half love for her, he would not have pushed her into the abyss with his own hands in their previous life, watching coldly as she struggled in the mire.
"Dad, you're planning to cook for Mom again?"
"What's the problem with that?" Seeing his daughter's contempt, Kong Liji smiled and said, "Your mother likes my cooking more than thousands in gold."
"Dad, don't bla for not warning you. Mom hasn't been in a good mood recently. You know, what happened with Wang Auntie is still fresh."
Why bring up Lin Chairman and his wife’s affairs again.
The last ti because of this his wife gave him the cold shoulder. Why couldn’t she get over it?
"What rumors have you heard?"
Thinking of Ren Suya's abnormal behavior recently, he leaned in ingratiatingly to ask.
Ren Ran ridiculed him inwardly.
"I didn't hear any rumors!"
Kong Liji's expression imdiately relaxed. "I know you just overheard a little."
"I know you just overheard a little." Kong Liji said impatiently, his eyes urging her to continue.
"Wang Auntie said all n are no good. Love and affection are all lies. Any man reluctant to spend money on a woman is insincere. If you really love that woman, if you earn 10 dollars, you'd be willing to spend 9 dollars on her. If you don't love her, even if you earn 10 million, you may not be willing to spend 100 dollars on her."
Kong Liji's eyes flashed an unnatural look. "Your mother believed this nonsense?"
Ren Ran sneered inwardly.
"She didn't believe it!"
Kong Liji's expression imdiately relaxed. "Your Auntie Wang is not doing well now. What people say when they are down often carries negative energy. Remind your mom not to keep getting involved with her. Don't let her affect your mom's mood for no reason."
"Dad, I'm not done yet!"
"Okay, okay, okay, go on."
"Mom didn't believe it, but it left a knot in her heart. She asked the other day, do you love her! Would Mom have asked this before?" Ren Ran retorted.
Kong Liji imdiately thought of how Ren Suya had asked the sa thing before.
Lin Chairman's ex-wife really was a troublemaker.
"Does your mom believe this nonsense?"
Ren Ran ridiculed him inwardly.
"She doesn't believe it!"
Kong Liji's expression imdiately relaxed. "Your Auntie Wang is not doing well now. What people say when they are down often carries negative energy. Remind your mom not to keep getting involved with her. Don't let her affect your mom's mood for no reason."
"Dad, I'm not done yet!"
"Okay, okay, okay, go on."
"Mom didn't believe it, but it left a knot in her heart. She asked the other day, do you love her! Would Mom have asked this before?" Ren Ran retorted.

"Dad, I still haven't finished!"
"Alright, alright, go on."
"Mom didn't believe it, but it still left a knot in her heart. She asked the other day, do you love her! Would Mom normally ask this kind of thing?" Ren Ran retorted.
Kong Liji imdiately thought of how Ren Suya had similarly asked before.
Lin Chairman's ex-wife really was a stirrer of shit.
"Psychologically speaking, Mom is feeling insecure. If you still do things the sa old way, just cooking a al, it absolutely won't work. In a few days, the auction at Wanbao will be held. I heard there is a set of rubies being auctioned. If you buy it for Mom, along with red wine and your ho cooking, do you think Mom will still feel insecure?"
Ren Ran put her arm around his shoulder, "Dad, whether you can give Mom enough sense of security depends on you."
