After calling Jiang Zhen, Ye Taoyao lowered her head and rubbed the screen of her phone, and then searched for the telephone information. She searched for a while but couldn't find Du Ruo's name.

He hadn't called her for a long time, nor had he appeared in front of her. The door opposite was always closed. If Jiang Zhen had not sent someone to stare at him and said that Du Ruo was still living here, she would have thought he had moved away.

The deliberate avoidance made both of them feel embarrassed, but at this moment, Ye Taoyao felt a little panic in her heart for no reason. She was also thinking about how much Mei Ying’s purpose was related to her, how many were for the Du family, and how many were really because of missing her...

Du Ruo was guessing this. He looked at Mei Ying's busy figure after entering the door indifferently, mockingly pulling the corner of his lips. As soon as he came, he couldn't wait to show his mother's heart, helping him clean up the house, and even dismantle and wash it. I wonder how sloppy and terrible he thought he lived alone.

In fact? In his opinion, what she did was a waste of time and was meaningless. However, he did not say he could stop him and just watched coldly.

Until she stopped herself, pounded her back, and went to the sofa opposite him, and asked with anticipation, "Mom has sorted it out for you, do you still like it?"

Du Ruo glanced around perfunctorily. What she called tidying up was to put things again and add some decorations in the way she thought. He said without comment, "If you are happy, you will be happy."

Meiying was somewhat hurt by this answer. She was busy and even if she couldn't get a word of satisfaction, at least she would say thank you. But the son in front of her just said perfunctorily, "It's good that you're happy", like a basin of cold water poured over, extinguishing her enthusiasm when she just entered the door.

She relieved her emotions and asked tentatively, "Xiaoruo, are you unhappy for your mother to come to the imperial capital?"

Du Ruo sneered, "Is it important to be happy or not? It is not something I can decide whether you come or not. As long as you have a clear conscience."

"Xiao Ruo..." Mei Ying's expression became anxious when she heard this, "It's not what you thought. In the past, you asked my mother to take you back to the imperial capital, but she didn't want to do it, and she also thought about it, but at that time, she couldn't do it. Now she came back, and she didn't say hello to you, because she wanted to give you a surprise."

"Is that right?" Du Ruo asked lazily as she listened to her explanation, "Is it because you couldn't come back before, or is it because you couldn't do it?"

Mei Ying's face changed, "Xiao Ruo, what do you mean?"

Du Ruo looked at her confused and surprised look and smiled mockingly, "Don't understand? Don't know? Mom, it's boring to pretend to me."

"Xiao Ruo..." Mei Ying seemed to be hurt, pressing the corner of her eyes, and her voice choked, "I know, you resent that your mother didn't bring you back soon, but she really couldn't do it, and she didn't dare. Your father disagreed, it would affect his career. There is Qi Yue. Once she knew, she would not let us mother and son go. Mom was weak and had no ability to protect you. You said, what else can Mom do if she stayed in Country Y?"

"What about now? Dusnian agreed that you are back? Qi Yue doesn't know your whereabouts and can tolerate your existence? You have the ability to protect me from any harm?"

"I……"

Du Ruo spoke a little faster and did not give her a chance to speak. "The things you said are still obstacles today, but I am back and you are back. From this we can see that those are just your excuses."

"No, no..." Mei Ying explained anxiously, "Xiao Ruo, your father really disagreed before. He warned me sternly, you know about this. I dare not go against his wishes. Now, he nodded, and I dared to come back. As for Qi Yue, your father said that her mind is full of Du Heng's affairs now, and she doesn't care about dealing with us mother and son, so she can't threaten it. My mother came back this time and hired a few people to protect us..."

Du Ruo took the call, "So, you came back after making complete preparations this time?"

Mei Ying nodded hesitantly, "I have dealt with some of the industries in Country Y, but the house I live in is left."

Du Ruo said two words without any meaning, "It's pretty good."

Meiying was nervous and couldn't help asking again, "Xiaoruo, are you still angry with your mother? Mom didn't mean it before. She chose to come back at this time, because she missed you too much. You have been away for half a year and haven't even gone back to look at her mother..."

Du Ruo said expressionlessly, "Since I'm here, I don't plan to go back."

"Mom guessed your decision, so she came back..." Mei Ying paused and asked carefully, "What are your plans in the future?"

Before Du Ruo could speak, she immediately followed up, "No matter what your plans are, my mother will help you."

"Help me?" Du Ruo asked mockingly, "How to help? You only know two people in the imperial capital. Dusnian and Qixing, who are you going to find?"

"Xiao Ruo!" This sentence poked Mei Ying's sore spot, and her voice became sharp, "I am your mother, anyone can despise me, but you can't!"

Du Ruo pursed his lips and said nothing.

After Meiying shouted, her eyes turned red, and tears fell down as if she didn't have money. "I know, you have always despised my identity in your heart. I blame me for not giving you a normal home, but I really can't do anything about it. Even if I go to this day, I can't make a decision. I'm just a duckweed. When I meet your father, I become a dodder. What else can I do besides relying on him?"

Du Ruo became irritated by her crying, "Don't say that you are so innocent and pitiful, it seems that you are passive in everything. In fact, you can take the initiative to choose the life you want many times, but you don't. No matter how powerful Du Sinian is, he is far away in the imperial capital, and he is beyond the reach of Country Y. You can get rid of him and start over again, but what about you?"

Mei Ying shook her head and explained sadly, "Because I'm not worth it for you. If I took you away at that time, you wouldn't get anything. How could I bear to let you bear the reputation of an illegitimate child but have nothing? That's what Dusian owes you, and he should give it to you, why don't you?"

Du Ruo's eyes were deep, "It's really just for me?"

"Yes!" Mei Ying shouted out this word loudly, lying on the sofa and burst into tears, as if she was about to pour out all the grievances of so many years, and she cried without any image.

Du Ruo just watched it and let her vent her.

After a long time, Mei Ying stopped crying, wiped her embarrassed face and said hoarsely, "Mom will stay with you from now on and not leave. Mom will live for you in this life only. If you are not by your side, what's the point of living?"
