“Grandma, don’t say that. I know you didn’t do anything wrong. You’re just helping him do what he wants because he’s your grandson.” Bai Ran’s tone was a little distant.
“But what you’re doing is actually useless. It’s no longer possible between us,” Bai Ran said again.
“Ran Ran, it’s not like that. How could Grandma just be thinking about him?! Besides, how could it be impossible? The two of you are husband and wife. You’ve liked Chen Chen for more than ten years. We’ve seen all of this. Do you really want to give up just because of this misunderstanding? I’ll indeed consider my grandson, but I’ll also consider you.” Grandma pulled Bai Ran’s hand.!!
“Ran Ran, if you say it’s impossible because I lied to you, I’ll apologize to you solemnly today. You can do whatever you want!” Grandma grabbed Bai Ran’s hand tightly.
“Grandma, you’re being too serious. No matter what happens between Chen Chen and me, I won’t let you suffer on his behalf.” Bai Ran did not retract her hand, but her expression was still cold. “But Grandma, is this a misunderstanding? Are you really sure?”
“Sister-in-law, how is this not a misunderstanding? My brother swore to us that he was in a traffic jam that day and was delayed,” Chen Lin argued by the side.
“Do you trust your brother that much?” Bai Ran turned around and looked straight at Chen Lin.
“Of course, I trust my brother. He’s sincere to you.” Chen Lin did not dodge Bai Ran’s gaze at all.
“Yes, he told us a few days ago that he would treat you wholeheartedly from now on. He definitely won’t be as ignorant as he was in the past. He placed his heart on that woman because of guilt. Can you really abandon Chen Chen, who is willing to change? Can you really bear to give up the person you liked for more than ten years because of a misunderstanding? Can you really not regret it?” Grandma continued to persuade her by the side.
“Ran Ran, can you really not give Chen Chen a chance?” Grandma asked again.
“Grandma, it’s really not that I’m unwilling to give him a chance.” Bai Ran sighed. “It’s just that he really doesn’t love me. There’s no point in dragging this on between us.”
Chen Lin also grabbed Bai Ran’s hand and said seriously, “How could that be?! My brother was muddle-headed in the past. He always placed his energy on that woman. He was just blinded by his guilt. The person he loves isn’t Hu Wan at all! Besides, our entire family doesn’t accept Hu Wan. He still insisted on marrying Hu Wan and didn’t listen to us at all. If he really has no feelings for you, he would have similarly objected to it to the end. He wouldn’t have married you, Sister-in-law!”
“We didn’t get married in the first place because we were in love. He just wanted to protect his Hu Wan.” Bai Ran blinked and tried to retract the tears in her eyes.
“Of course not! Why would he do this in order to protect Hu Wan? What kind of protection is considered protection? Our entire family objected to him marrying Hu Wan, but who really targeted her? Who would really fuss about it with a person who’s about to die? What protection does she need? Will we not object to him marrying you? So what’s the difference?! Therefore, there’s only one truth. He got married out of his own heart!” Chen Lin analyzed and said logically.
Although she had almost always been overseas, she was still a member of the Chen family. She had heard of Bai Ran and could see through her brother’s feelings.
Of course, there was no lack of selfishness in this. After all, she still had someone she wanted!
“But after we got married, he sent me overseas. Your brother handed me the divorce agreement himself,” Bai Ran said, sniffling.
“Isn’t that what he was doing previously?! His heart was filled with guilt toward that woman, so he did whatever that woman said! Now, my brother has already come to his senses,” Chen Lin quickly emphasized.
“Come to his senses?” Bai Ran looked at the ceiling, unwilling to look at the two of them. “I don’t think a person who chooses to give up on me at the moment of my life will come to his senses. He should be single-minded about me and think that I’m the most important person.. This kind of hindsight is really meaningless.”
