Chapter 294. It’s Good To Have You Back

Song Rui pulled up in front of the house and said with a soft chuckle, “Let’s wait a moment before going inside. I should give my family a call first.”

“Is Yangyang at home?” Fan Jialuo asked nervously.

“Yes, by now, Wennuan should have picked him up.” Song Rui said, glancing at his watch as he dialed a number.

A moment later, the call connected, and a strong voice came through the receiver, “See your car outside. Just come in and say it. What’s with the phone call?”

“Didn’t you tell me to find a partner before? Well, I found one, and I’m bringing him home today. I just wanted to give you a heads-up so you wouldn’t be caught off guard.” Song Rui said cheerfully.

“You’re pretty quick, kid. Bring him in then, our whole family is here.” The Elderly man urged, “Come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you to eat.”

Song Rui agreed, hung up the phone, and then took Fan Jialuo’s hand and walked into the house.

Song DaBo came down from the second floor and announced, “Song Rui is bringing his girl, umm, his boy…… long story short, he’s found a partner and is bringing them back for us to meet today.”

“What? So fast? I was just trying to persuade him to go on a blind date yesterday, and he refused.” Song Wennuan was in the middle of sneaking food from the dining area when she heard this, so shocked that the food slipped right out of her hand.

Xu Yiyang’s face was full of rejection, “Song Rui Gege wouldn’t like anyone else.” But he couldn’t explain who was actually left besides everyone else.

“What does this guy do? Is he reliable? Can he stand Song Rui’s bad temper?” Song Wennuan asked repeatedly.

“Don’t ask anymore, they’ll be coming in soon.” As soon as Song DaBo finished speaking, the door to the hall was pushed open, and Song Rui led a young man in. He first squatted down, took out a pair of new slippers from the cabinet, and then personally helped the man take off his leather shoes and put on the slippers. His attitude was as attentive as could be.

He ignored the man’s repeated attempts to say, I can do it myself.

Song Wennuan and Xu Yiyang bolted from the dining area, practically burning with jealousy. The newcomer had obviously secured the top spot. If not, how else could they explain Song Rui’s arrogant, standoffish, and prick of a personality treating someone like absolute royalty?

As the two were feeling jealous, they saw the young man raise his head, revealing a handsome face as bright as the moon. His dark pupils first locked onto Xu Yiyang, then he curved his crimson lips into a light smile.

Song Wennuan was stunned by that breathtaking smile, her heart pounding faster and faster, and she even felt as if she had fallen in love with him. But this love was not romantic love, but a love of respect, like fallen leaves returning to the earth, a gentle breeze blowing through the forest, making one involuntarily want to exclaim——you have finally returned.

Song Wennuan clutched her chest and stood frozen in place.

Xu Yiyang suddenly burst into tears, and then rushed over like a small cannonball, hugging the young man’s waist and rubbing his head against his chest.

“Gege, gege, waaaaah.” Xu Yiyang cried so hard he could barely speak.

The young man gestured with his hand to his head and said with a smile, “You’ve grown a lot taller.”

“How could he not grow taller? He’s already started junior high this year.” Song Rui came up from behind and hugged the two of them.

Fan Jialuo rubbed the child’s head and asked, “Do you remember Gege?”

Xu Yiyang shook his head, crying as he said he didn’t remember. Yet, he immediately added, “But I really, really love you, Gege. You’re going to stay for good from now on, right?”

“Of course, from now on we’ll be family, okay?” Fan Jialuo squatted halfway down and asked, trying to hold back a laugh.

“Okay, okay, don’t go.” Xu Yiyang hurriedly clung to his neck and pulled him into the room.

Song Wennuan bowed deeply, saying with trepidation, “Please, please. It’s such a pleasure to meet you. May I ask your name?” A name was on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn’t remember it. The joy in her heart surged like a tidal wave.

Song DaBo was dumbfounded, feeling that the two children’s attitudes had changed too quickly.

“Hello, my name is Fan Jialuo. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Please take care of me.” Fan Jialuo nodded politely.

Before Song DaBo could even exchange a few polite words, Song Wennuan and Xu Yiyang grabbed the man’s hands on either side and shoved him into the dining area, showing no signs of awkwardness or estrangement whatsoever from their first meeting.

Song Rui took out his phone, took a group photo, and posted it to his WeChat Moments with the caption ——A family of three.

Song Wennuan shared this group photo.

In no time, their phones started ringing. Almost all their relatives and friends liked their posts, and some even sent a lot of memes of people crying with joy.

Yuan Zhongzhou：【This gentleman looked familiar. When I saw him, a warm feeling inexplicably welled up in my heart. 】

Zhu Xiya：【I feel the same way! 】

He Jinglian：【Nuannuan Jie, could you bring Dr. Song’s boyfriend to the company for a visit? I really want to meet him! 】

Ah Huo：【Me too. The moment I laid eyes on his photo, I actually started crying】

Sisi Jie：【I just burst into tears! 】

The sheer number of likes and comments, and the overwhelming positive sentiment towards the young man, greatly surprised Song Wennuan.

The situation was exactly the same for Song Rui.

Meng Zhong said sourly: 【You’ve already brought him home so quickly? I heard Mr. Fan is applying for a consultant position at our bureau? I’ll handle that for him. Bring him over tomorrow! 】

Zhuang Zhen：【I eagerly hope to work with Mr. Fan in the future. 】

Xiao Li：【Dr. Song, you’re being really unfair. You should at least bring him along so we can all get to know him and have a meal together. 】

In short, everyone was subtly urging Song Rui not to hold back and to quickly share Fan Jialuo, everyone was eager to get to know him. There was no reason needed, they liked him at first sight, as if he were a lifelong friend.

With Fan Jialuo around, who would want to scroll through their WeChat Moments? Song Rui and Song Wennuan both turned off their phones and gathered around him, chatting intently, occasionally letting out cheerful laughter——

At the same time, Ding Haohao was very uneasy.

His family had money, sure, but next to his Jiujiu’s empire, they were lightyears apart. To make matters worse, his Jiujiu was highly competent and stone-cold. He had cut off every single person in the Ding family years ago over some bitter blood feud, building today’s fortune completely from scratch.

Not only did Ding Haohao have zero hope of leeching off his Jiujiu, but the entire Ding family was practically being crushed under his Jiujiu’s boots.

He tugged at his clothes, anxiously peering upstairs.

After a long time, Jiujiu and his partner walked down side by side, both with serious expressions on their faces.

“How did you meet Mr. Fan?” Fan Kaixuan asked first.

Ding Haohao swallowed hard and carefully recounted the whole story.

“Then you are very lucky.” Fan Kaixuan pondered for a long time before saying, “Your Jiujiu and I have discussed it and are preparing to transfer your guardianship to our name.”

“Huh?” Ding Haohao was dumbfounded, “But I still have my dad.”

“Your father is definitely going to jail, so don’t even think about it. Since Mr. Fan asked us to take good care of you, we will do our best, so don’t worry.” Ding Yu solemnly promised.

Ding Haohao was bewildered, “Do you know that Mr. Fan?”

Fan Kaixuan and Ding Yu exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison, “We don’t know him, but he seems to be a very important person to us. It’s hard to explain this feeling. Just think of it as us taking care of you out of kinship.”

Ding Haohao：……

He struggled for a long time before finally saying, “My dad would never harm my mom. Mr. Fan must be mistaken.”

“Mr. Fan has never been wrong.” Fan Kaixuan subconsciously retorted, but couldn’t give a reason, so he could only urge, “Go back to your room and get some sleep. You have to go to the police station to give a statement tomorrow.”

The next day at noon, Ding Haohao received a call from the police station. The DNA comparison results for the body were in, and it was indeed his mother. It was said that the man who eloped with his mother had also been caught. He confessed without hesitation, and two other accomplices were implicated, namely Ding Haohao’s father and stepmother.

Ding Haohao: ……

Fan Kaixuan and Ding Yu were not surprised. While putting on their coats, they urged, “Let’s go to the police station.”

Ding Haohao had no idea how he ended up in the police station. By the time he came to his senses, the whole truth of the case had come to light. It turned out that his mother hadn’t eloped at all, instead, his father had taken her to the old house and imprisoned her, even getting her addicted to drugs.

The drug was called nitrous oxide, which makes people laugh continuously after inhaling it, so all the photos his mother took before she died showed her smiling broadly. His father forced his mother to sign a share transfer agreement, then ordered the man to kill her, and even filmed several obscene videos as so-called evidence of their elopement.

The whole thing started simply because the stepmother got pregnant and didn’t want to be a mistress anymore.

Ding Haohao’s world completely collapsed at that moment. He covered his face and squatted at the entrance of the police station, crying uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a warm hand covered his head, gently patted it, and comforted him, “Don’t cry, your mother is watching you.”

Ding Haohao immediately stopped crying and looked around.

Fan Jialuo bent down and handed over a box emitting cold air, “This is a delicacy I just discovered, called ice cream. Eating it will make you feel happy.”

No, I’ll never be happy again. Ding Haohao shook his head, wanting to refuse, but found that when Mr. Fan’s hand left his head, most of the unvented sadness and pain dissipated.

His mood truly calmed down, as if enveloped by warm spring water, slowly undergoing healing.

Fan Jialuo rubbed his head again and walked into the sunlight, carrying a large bag of ice cream that showed no signs of melting in the sweltering heat.

He handed the ice cream to a handsome man waiting by the car, then ran to the small shop across the street and bought a lot of snacks. It was clear he was a foodie.

The two drove away, and only then did Ding Haohao open the ice cream box, scooping out pieces to eat while crying.

It’s probably a good thing that I wasn’t deceived by my dad and stepmom my whole life, right? Finding my mom and clearing her name is even better, isn’t it? In short, I’m lucky to have met Mr. Fan. Thinking this, Ding Haohao actually felt relieved.
