During this time, Du Ruoxin had almost fully recovered and had even gone through the discharge procedures.
Rong Shaoze had visited her once again along the way, staying for an equally brief period—a mere few minutes.
Even in her naivety, Du Ruoxin knew he did not like her and did not want to see her.
Under her pressing questioning, Mrs. Du told her the truth.
When she learned that Rong Shaoze had taken a wife, and that the woman was the same one who had hit her, Du Ruoxin found it unbearable.
Why, not only did he break their promise to marry someone else, but he also married the very woman who caused her injury?
Rong Shaoze’s actions had deeply wounded her.
The moment she found out, she cried, her cries heart-wrenching and soul-tearing.
Mrs. Du hurried to comfort her, "Ruoxin, don’t be sad. Mother hasn’t finished speaking yet."
So, Mrs. Du explained the reasons why Rong Shaoze had married Lin Xinlan and mentioned the promise Rong Shaoze had made initially.
"Don’t worry, he said that if you were to wake up, he would divorce Lin Xinlan and then marry you," said Mrs. Du, who was unaware that Rong Shaoze and Lin Xinlan had long since divorced.
"Really?" Du Ruoxin asked skeptically.
"Of course it’s true! Would Rong Shaoze go back on his word?"
Du Ruoxin fell silent, knowing that if he really wanted to renege, no one could do anything about it.
Promises probably meant nothing to him, after all.
But no matter what, she still clung to some hope, fearing to have nothing to hope for at all.
The day she went through the discharge procedures, Du Ruoxin did not notify Rong Shaoze.
After packing her luggage and discussing with her parents, she went alone with her luggage to Rong Shaoze’s villa in Yan Mountain.
She had always lived there before, and now she was returning.
Some things could not be compromised or retreated from. Either way, she had to find a way to take back everything that belonged to her.
At the Rong Family’s old house, the whole family was watching cartoons with Xiaocong.
Recently, he had become obsessed with cartoons to the point of addiction, watching them tirelessly every day.
Rong Shaoze said, as long as it didn’t affect his vision, he could watch as much as he liked.
Xiaocong watched with great fascination, occasionally imitating the actions and sounds from the cartoons, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Rong Shaoze also smiled slightly.
To him, cartoons were childish programs that he never enjoyed watching as a kid, let alone now.
But now, watching with his son, he found that there was some fun in it.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Old Gu calling.
He excused himself and answered the call on the side, asking her what the matter was.
Old Gu had always been living in the villa at Yan Mountain, taking care of the house, but she was well aware of the happenings around Rong Shaoze.
So she cautiously said, "Young Master, Miss Du has been discharged and she has now moved back into the villa. What should we do about this?"
The man frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Take good care of her, I’ll come over later."
After hanging up, he signaled Lin Xinlan to come upstairs with him; he had something to tell her.
Lin Xinlan’s smile faded from her lips, guessing that it must have something to do with Du Ruoxin.
Once in the bedroom, Rong Shaoze took her hand and went straight to the point, "Old Gu called and said that Ruoxin has been discharged and has moved back into the villa at Yan Mountain. I’ll go over later to clear things up with her. Do you want to come with me?"
Lin Xinlan paused for a moment and then shook her head, "I’d rather not go. I suppose she doesn’t want to see me."
