Chapter 483 - 483: Suffering Is A Test
Ruan Weiwei remembered Li Xiaoran’s words and knelt down on the spot to kowtow to her three times.
“Thank you, Sister Xiaoran! I’ll definitely repay your kindness in the future!” With that, Ruan Weiwei stood up and left.
Li Xiaoran glanced at Zi Zheng, who nodded and followed Ruan Weiwei into the house.
When they saw Ruan Weiwei’s stubbornness, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue’s eyes turned red.
“This world is so unfair!” Shu Ruyue said.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she shook her head and said disapprovingly, “There’s no such thing as absolute fairness in this world! When the heavens want to give you something, they will give you more suffering to test you. After you pass, you will receive the reward! There’s a saying that goes, everyone learns to be strong while suffering ordeals. Everyone has their own path of growth! I have it, you have it, and so does Weiwei!”
With that, Li Xiaoran got into the carriage.
Shu Ruyue understood what Li Xiaoran meant and followed her into the carriage.
Soon, the carriage left and Li Xiaoran brought Shu Ruyue back to her place.
After arriving home, Li Xiaoran asked Wu Qinghe to bring Shu Ruyue to choose her room, while she went straight to look for Luo Cheng.
Without hiding anything, Li Xiaoran told Luo Cheng what she had experienced today.
“Husband, will what I did affect you? Especially the second prince!”
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“I told you, do whatever you want. You don’t have to worry about me! Besides, what you’re doing is a good thing! The little girl is already very miserable. If you can help her, you might be able to make her feel a trace of kindness, which will help her hold on! This is a good thing. You don’t have to worry about me being implicated or negatively affected by this! You don’t have to think too much about doing good deeds. Just do it if you want to, as long as you have a clear conscience!”
Li Xiaoran smiled when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
As expected, Luo Cheng understood what she was thinking.
She was the type of person that would do whatever she felt was worth doing.
However, after doing it, she remembered the impact this matter had on Luo Cheng, so she came back immediately to discuss it with him.
If her kindness affected her family negatively, she would try her best to make up for it.
At this moment, Zi Zheng returned.
After seeing Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, Zi Zheng briefly explained the rest.
“Young Master, Madam, I found a famous female bodyguard to protect Ruan Weiwei. With the female bodyguard around, Ruan Weiwei’s safety will be guaranteed. In addition, Ruan Weiwei’s mother’s funeral will be carried out as well. I left my buddies there to help. As for the man and woman from the Second Prince’s residence, after seeing that we had settled the matter, they only said that they would send Ruan Weiwei’s father over to reunite with his daughter. They didn’t say anything else!”
“I think the second prince’s help is limited. After the two of them came, the woman gave ger a hundred taels of silver. After that, she didn’thing and just watched us. Later, when she saw that it was getting late, she left in a hurry!” Zi Zheng added.
Li Xiaoran nodded and asked, “How’s Weiwei now?”
“That little girl is very tough. When her mother passed away, she cried so much that her eyes became red and swollen. Then, she followed us to prepare her mother’s funeral. Before we left, the little girl even forced herself to drink two bowls of porridge before continuing to guard her mother’s wake!” Zi Zheng replied.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Alright, you’ve done well. It’s been hard on you! You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I got someone to save food for you. Go eat something and rest well. I’m afraid I won’t be able to care about Weiwei for the next few days. Zi Zheng, go over every day to take a look. If she needs any help, just help!”
Zi Zheng nodded and remembered Li Xiaoran’s words.
However, there was something that Zi Zheng still had to confirm.
“Young Master, Madam, if I go to the little girl’s place in the capital, I definitely won’t be able to avoid interacting with the Second Prince’s people. If the other party asks about my background, what should I do?”
“There’s no need to hide your identity. If the second prince’s men ask, tell them that your wife saved that girl on the street,” Luo Cheng said. With Luo Cheng’s assurance, Zi Zheng knew what to do.
That night, Li Xiaoran didn’t sleep well.
For some reason, she could always sense Ruan Weiwei crying.
After waking up, Li Xiaoran realized that she had a dream.
After taking a few deep breaths, Li Xiaoran sat up.
Luo Cheng was also woken up by Li Xiaoran. Seeing that she was covered in sweat, he quickly brought a handkerchief over and gently wiped the cold sweat off Li Xiaoran’s forehead.
“Did you have a nightmare?” Luo Cheng asked.
Li Xiaoran nodded as she recalled her previous dream. With lingering fears, she said, “Husband, I dreamed that Weiwei was captured and locked in a small cave. Not only did they not give her food, but they also tortured her with all kinds of methods. She’s just a little girl, so how can she withstand this? In the end, Weiwei was lying in the cave with despair in her eyes.”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he quickly hugged her.
“That’s just a dream. Perhaps you’re too worried about that little girl, so you had that dream! Let me tell you, with the female bodyguard around, nothing will happen to that little girl! The female bodyguard is a famous expert in the martial world. With the female bodyguard protecting her, that little girl will definitely be safe!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she felt better.
In fact, Li Xiaoran wasn’t dreaming herself, but had entered Weiwei’s dream instead.
Ruan Weiwei had that exact dream.
However, Ruan Weiwei’s dream was more complete than Li Xiaoran’s.
After she fell asleep, she dreamed that she was taken away and brought to a cave by those people.
In that dream, she had never met Li Xiaoran, let alone get saved.
After that, it was what Li Xiaoran had seen in her dream. Because Ruan Weiwei’s encounter was too tragic, Li Xiaoran was suddenly woken up.
Li Xiaoran woke up, but Ruan Weiwei’s dream continued.
Just as Ruan Weiwei was about to die, her biological father came to save her.
She thought she was finally saved, but she was trapped in another wolf den!
