Chef God who doesn't want to be an actor is not a good idol

Before they started talking just now, He Hongfei found an excuse to go out, and now there were only the two of them left in the box.

Du Ruo turned to the last page of the report, and his eyes stayed on that line of results for a long time. He lowered his head and hid his emotions in the shadows, making it difficult for others to distinguish.

Xie Mengting observed Du Ruo's expression, his eyes thoughtful: "You don't seem surprised."

"If I said that I was actually surprised, would you believe me?" Du Ruo closed the report, gently placed it on the table, looked up at Xie Mengting, and twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, but he didn't have the strength to smile.

Two pairs of similar but obviously different eyes faced each other, and the box fell silent at some point, leaving only the sound of slow breathing elongated in the air.

"I believe." Xie Mengting watched Du Ruo put his hands in front of him, subconsciously made a defensive gesture, restrained the smile on his face, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, "Maybe, can I call you Xiao Ruo? "

Seeing Du Ruo nodded, Xie Mengting continued: "Actually, the reason why I offered the invitation and told you about this matter in advance is to discuss with you. I am willing to listen to your opinion, and I hope to be able to combine my wishes with yours. Concern conveyed to you."

He paused, looking at Du Ruo with unconcealable concern in his eyes: "No matter what, I am your biological father, so you don't need to be hostile or suspicious of me."

"I'm so sorry for missing you for so many years."

The look in Xie Mengting's eyes was gentle and sincere. When he said the last sentence, he finally couldn't hold back his emotions, and revealed a little hoarseness at the end.

Du Ruo looked directly into Xie Mengting's eyes, slightly pursed her lips, and said lightly, "Maybe, can I ask what you think now?"

"I investigated your adoptive parents..." Mentioning these two, the expression on Xie Mengting's face instantly turned cold, and disgust flashed in his eyes, "If possible, I hope to be able to take you home , to recognize you back. And what the two of them should do depends on your wishes."

"Then... what about the other person?"

Du Ruo didn't say who the "other person" was, but whether it was Du Ruo, Xie Mengting, or He Hongfei who was not in the room, they all knew who he was referring to.

"He will return to where he should be." Xie Mengting looked directly into Du Ruo's eyes and paused every word, as if to assure him.

Du Ruo pondered for a moment, "I need to think about it."

Xie Mengting saw the hesitation in Du Ruo's eyes, so he didn't press the question, but changed the subject, "Or, during the Spring Festival this year, would you like to have a New Year's Eve dinner?"

Du Ruo shrank her fingers slightly, and when her eyes touched the concern in Xie Mengting's eyes, her eyes suddenly moved, paused for a moment, and nodded her chin gently and slowly.

Just looking at the face opposite him that was similar but different from his own, a surprised smile appeared in an instant.

***

After returning home and washing up, it was already late at night.

Du Ruo leaned on the bed, tightly clutching the phone with a new contact in her hand, staring at the dark phone screen absently, not knowing what she was thinking.

This is what Wen Qi saw when he walked into the room.

He knelt on one knee beside the bed, stretched out his hand to hook Du Ruo's neck, put his head lightly on Du Ruo's shoulder, and put his lips close to Du Ruo's ear, a deep voice sounded in the quiet room, "What are you thinking about?" ?”

"As for today's matter..." Du Ruo simply said what happened today, almost saying whatever came to mind, Wen Qi also maintained this posture, listening intently and quietly, answering twice from time to time .

After Du Ruo finished talking about this, Wen Qi rubbed Du Ruo's cheek, and the warmth spread from the place where the two of them touched to the whole body.

"So, what are you worrying about?"

"Compared to being distressed, it's probably just a feeling... a little magical..." Du Ruo muttered, her eyes fixed on a point in the air, "I was brought up by my grandma since I was very young. The so-called father and mother have no memory from a long time ago. As a result, when I completely ignored these things and started to move forward, first the 'mother' shouted on the show, and then someone came to me and said he was My biological father..."

The corner of Du Ruo's mouth hooked slightly, mocking himself.

Wen Qi's hand had slowly descended at some point, hugging Du Ruo from behind, trying to give him silent support.

After the surprise at the beginning, now Du Ruo is more of an inexplicable and complicated mood, and perhaps he has his own selfishness in agreeing to go to the New Year's Eve dinner.

"No matter what you choose, I will always be by your side."

Wen Qi hugged Du Ruo tightly, and pressed a kiss on the corner of his mouth, comforting him gently and silently.

***

While Du Ruo and Wen Qi were living together, Xie Mengting returned home.

"You're back." Before Gu Wan went upstairs, when she heard the sound of the door, she walked towards the door with a smile.But when his eyes touched the solemn expression on Xie Mengting's face, he couldn't help but restrain his smile, and his voice was a little more worried, "Did something happen?"

Having been together with Xie Mengting for so many years, Gu Wan rarely saw Xie Mengting's ugly face, even when the company encountered a major crisis before, it made her subconsciously shudder.

After Xie Mengting changed his shoes, he shook his head at Gu Wan who was looking worried, "Go to the study and talk."

Gu Wan frowned slightly, and followed Xie Mengting into the study room. After closing the door, Gu Wan asked: "Is there anything that you can't just say in the living room, you must go to the study room?"

Xie Mengting sat down on the sofa in the study, his face still solemn.

When He Hongfei showed him the results of the investigation, Xie Mengting's first reaction was unbelievable. It was hard for him to imagine that his adopted son, who had always been humble and polite in front of him, would do such a thing.

But Xie Mengting is not a fool who can be fooled by others. There are some things that he didn't pay attention to before, and when he discovered the clues, those little tricks that Xie Rui did in private were quickly turned upside down.

Xie Rui's private chat records, the unidentified remittance records that are debited from his card every month, and the small actions he made to Du Ruo...

If the text part can still be used for self-comfort, those money transactions are almost irrefutable evidence.

When Xie Mengting read it for the first time in the study, he felt his brain buzzing.

It was hard for him to accept that the child he and his wife had raised for so many years had turned into this.

But no matter how hard it is to accept, it is true.

After seeing these investigation results, Xie Mengting has been hesitating how to tell Gu Wan about these things.

Gu Wan poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him, with an unconcealable worried look in her eyes, "Drink some water."

"We are husband and wife, no matter what kind of problems you encounter, we are one." Gu Wan sat down beside Xie Mengting, put her hand on the back of Xie Mengting's, and patted it lightly.

"Wanwan," the moment Xie Mengting spoke, his voice was already hoarse and exhausted, "I have something to tell you."

He turned his head and looked directly into Gu Wan's eyes, the look in his eyes made Gu Wan subconsciously tense up: "You have to be mentally prepared first."

"whats the matter?"

Xie Mengting's lips opened and closed several times, the hesitation and struggle in his eyes were clearly visible, watching Gu Wan's eyes from confusion to nervousness, the words clearly came to his lips, but he was still unable to utter them.

"What on earth are you trying to say..." Gu Wan held Xie Mengting's hand unconsciously, with a tension in her eyes that she didn't even notice.

Xie Mengting said with difficulty, "Xie Rui is not our son."

Gu Wan immediately widened her eyes, and subconsciously blurted out: "Impossible!"

"It's true, in the hospital where she was born..." Xie Mengting gritted his teeth, "We carried the wrong baby."

"impossible……"

Gu Wan still repeated this sentence, but she didn't know whether she wanted to convince herself or was unwilling to accept this fact.

Xie Mengting was silent for a moment, took out the report from the brown paper bag, and handed it to Gu Wan, "Look."

After reading the report, Gu Wan sat on the sofa dumbfounded and didn't speak for a long time.

"These years... how has he been doing?" When she finally spoke, Gu Wan's voice was slightly choked with sobs.

"Not very good," Xie Mengting hesitated, but still told the truth, "He lived with his grandma since he was very young. After his grandma passed away, he signed a contract with the company and debuted alone."

Xie Mengting hugged Gu Wan's slightly trembling body.

"I want to see him..." Gu Wan opened her mouth, tears couldn't stop falling down.

After a while, Gu Wan's excitement eased a little, and she remembered other things, "Parents, what are you going to say?"

"Before the new year this year, I will tell my parents."

"I'm with you." Gu Wan and Xie Mengting held hands tightly.

"Then... what about Ah Rui?"

Hearing Gu Wan's question, Xie Mengting's body froze slightly, and Gu Wan immediately noticed it.She subconsciously increased her grip on Xie Mengting, "Ah Rui...what's wrong?"

Xie Mengting took a deep breath, turned on the computer, and opened the folder of the investigation results.

"I found some things. About Xie Rui, about... Du Ruo."

Gu Wan couldn't listen to what Xie Mengting said afterwards. She looked at the evidence on the screen, the remittance records that started several years ago, and told her clearly that Xie Rui knew about his biological parents early in the morning. exist.There is also the undisguised malice in the chat records, which is the side that Xie Rui has never shown in front of her.

This kind of malice overflowing the screen made Gu Wan terrified, she couldn't imagine that these words actually came from the mouth of a child she raised with her own hands.

Gu Wan didn't finish reading, she closed her eyes abruptly, took a few deep breaths and stood up from her seat with a cold expression.

"Meng Ting, what did you plan for Xie Rui?"

"He has graduated as an adult, so he should have the ability to be independent." Xie Mengting said tactfully, but the meaning was to change it back.

"Then let's do it like this." After Gu Wan said this, seeing the faint surprise in Xie Mengting's eyes, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm serious. I can't accept it. While calling my mother in front of me, he secretly contacted his biological mother a long time ago. I can't forgive him for targeting other people with such malice."

Xie Mengting patted Gu Wan's back lightly.

"At that time, I will accompany you to talk to your parents."
