C7 Distance Between Rich and Poor

Returning to the car, Shu Haoran tidied up the things he had recorded and answered four questions from his grandpa. The old man listened and nodded. He seemed to be very satisfied. At the end, he fumbled for a chocolate bar and gave it to Shu Haoran as a reward. Shu Haoran was long past the age where he liked candy and chocolate, but now he happily peeled the paper and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet and slightly bitter taste spread out and vaguely matched with his current mood.

"Many problems may seem difficult to solve, but the more information one collects, the more solutions one can use to solve them." The old man saw that Shu Haoran's expression was a bit worse, so he asked the driver to drive him back to the hospital. He didn't want to hide the fact that he knew everything, "You did very well today. Grandpa is very happy. I will keep my promise to help the mother and daughter."

"Really?! "Thank you, grandpa!" Shu Haoran spread his eyebrows and smiled, a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment welled up in his heart. Pity him, who had lived for 30 years, had never experienced something like this before.

"You can't just say thank you. You have to follow up on this matter until it's all over." The old man smiled slyly again and patted Shu Haoran's hand. It was kind and warm, "This book will be used to remember things related to grandpa. You must remember how grandpa helped the mother and daughter afterwards."

"Alright." Shu Haoran opened his sparkling eyes and nodded with a smile. Although he had not decided to be angry at him, or to go through all the hardships that he had to endure, he had already decided to accept his grandfather's words.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital and saw Qin Kai pacing restlessly in front of the hospital gate. Shu Haoran said goodbye to his grandpa and ran to Qin Kai, waiting to hear his complaints. He didn't expect Qin Kai to only hold his hand and say in a sad voice, "Young master, you scared me to death!"

It could be seen that Qin Kai was scared quite a bit. His face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. Thinking about the kidnapping incident that just passed and how he suddenly disappeared without a sound, it was really hard for him.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I told you not to let me go, or ask me to go later. I can't wait any longer." Shu Haoran apologized and went back to the ward with Qin Kai, changed into his hospital gown and lay down to rest.

"Young Master, no need to apologize, I know you didn't do it on purpose." Qin Kai didn't intend to blame him at all. Instead, he took out his lunch box to buy him lunch, "I'm young master's man, young master can tell me anything in the future, I won't turn around and report it to my lord. Young master must believe me for this."

"…" Shu Haoran looked at Qin Kai's sincere eyes, and it didn't seem like Qin Kai was lying, but something happened. Perhaps Qin Kai at this moment was really good to him and really cared for him wholeheartedly, but later on, at least Qin Kai, who drove him to his death that night, thought about something that he couldn't understand. "Alright, I understand. Hurry up and go. I'm hungry."

Qin Kai answered with a laugh, turned around and trotted away. Shu Haoran lay alone on the bed, stared at the ceiling and let out a deep breath. A jumble of indistinguishable causes and effects swirled in his mind, and so many questions held him back, but no one could give him an answer, and the answer had to be observed and discovered by himself, little by little, on this day of rebirth, just as the old man had given him paper and pen and left him to do what he had to do.

However, there was nothing bad about it.

Following the small sense of accomplishment, Shu Haoran gradually realized that rather than trusting others to rely on others, he should just rely on himself. Just like this, Shu Haoran continued to let his imagination run wild for a while. Qin Kai came back panting with the prepared food. It was as if Shu Haoran said he was hungry and he didn't want to waste even a second.

Shu Haoran lowered his head and looked at the sumptuous lunch. All of the dishes were his favorite ones. They were carefully packed in different lunch boxes and were very thoughtful and warm to the touch. He was obviously a normal child, but in the 20-30 years Shu Haoran could remember, it had always been Qin Kai taking care of him, never asking for anything in return.

"Let's eat together. Are you hungry at this point as well?" Shu Haoran forced a smile and said as he covered the complex emotions in his eyes.

"No, I'll eat by myself later. I can't break the rules." Qin Kai shook his head. Shu Haoran remembered that his father was very strict with his education, always keeping the rules to his lips.

[Even if Young Master Shu views Qin Kai as his brother, the two of us are still different.]

[Qin Kai is good to Young Master Shu, but Young Master Shu is good to Qin Kai.]

Looking at the teenager in front of him, Shu Haoran could not help but think of the past. He remembered the expression and manner of Qin Kai when he said those words. It was not a joke nor was it humility. Since when had Qin Kai stopped being so willing to be good to him? He only followed the so-called rules, the so-called duty as a servant, those subtle changes in mood, but he never noticed it. He always laughed it off, causing the gap between the two of them to only grow deeper.

"Kai, I have actually always treated Uncle Tan as an elder and you as my best friend. You can not believe me, but I am serious." Shu Haoran sighed softly. Perhaps he should have told Qin Kai this earlier. It was just that he had wasted too many opportunities and the two of them had ended up in such a twisted state.

"Young Master?" Qin Kai stared blankly. He was used to Shu Haoran's naivety and inexperience, but when he suddenly heard such profound words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little regretful." Shu Haoran was unable to explain the mixed feelings in his heart. He took a deep breath and changed the topic. "Oh right, how much did you find out in one morning?"

"Ah, I almost forgot about that. Then Young Master, you have to listen to me while you eat." Qin Kai took out a book from his shoulder bag and selected the most important information. It included some information about the Ling family's factory, Ling Mu'an's school and studies, as well as her mother's physical condition. Shu Haoran already knew most of it, but some information about Ling Mu'an was not a small gain.

"Ann and primary schools? Where is it? I don't think I've heard of it. " Speaking of Ling Mu'an, Shu Haoran changed his mood a little and became cheerful, "It's the class monitor and three good students again. They seem very powerful."

"Before the incident with the Ling family, the Ling family was quite rich. Miss Ling was transferred to An He primary school. Actually, she was previously at the same primary school as us." Qin Kai flipped through the book and looked at Shu Haoran. He raised his head and looked at Shu Haoran again, but he didn't have much to eat. "Young master, aren't you hungry?"

"Sorry, I was hungry before, but I feel a bit uncomfortable now. I feel dizzy and my chest feels stuffy." Shu Haoran didn't hide anything from him. He put the lunchbox aside and indeed, his expression didn't look too good. Speaking of concussion, it was not a joke at all. He also felt a little better last night.

"Then young master should sleep for a while. When you wake up, I'll go buy some porridge for you." Qin Kai told Shu Haoran to lie down and rest. Then he carried out the food to prevent the room from being full of flavor, "I will take care of the food and come back soon. Young Master, go to sleep first."

Shu Haoran laid on the sickbed and watched Qin Kai's leaving figure. He couldn't help but mock himself in his heart. It was outrageous for Shu Haoran to let someone who was so nice to him kill him.

Just like this, they hid this small episode from Shu Jingyu. After that, Shu Haoran had a few days of intermittent high fever, drifting about in a daze and having many dreams. His heart was filled with anxiety, many bitterness, but he had nowhere to pour it out and could only accept it, waiting for fate to give him an explanation. As time passed, the scabs on his forehead began to scab and fall off. The concussion became much less severe. His pale face became better and he became more energetic. Ling Mu'an's problem had also been resolved by him.

Shu Haoran had learned from his father that the old man's decision was not to pay, but to acquire. Since then, Ling Mu'an's father's factory had become their Shu Family. Only then did Shu Haoran connect the dots and realize that their family owned a high-end hotel, and soap was a trivial, but indispensable, item in the hotel. The old man bought the soap factory, paid off his debts, left behind the workers, improved soap manufacturing processes and processes, imported raw materials, re-selected suppliers, like a surgeon, using a scalpel to neatly cut off damaged parts, transplant healthy organs, and resurrect a sick factory.

The old man looked at his notes, found a circle of red pens to draw on, and fished out the key points and key points for him to see. Shu Jingyu did not know whether to laugh or cry as he stood by the side, talking about how anxious Haoran was, and listening to the old man's complaints about having been raised since childhood.

It was rare for the three generations of grandfathers and grandchildren to gather together in such a small ward. Shu Haoran loved such a day very much, although it was simple, and there were even some simple and crude conditions, but warm affection would always surround him. Grandfather's enlightening education, father's protective care, the three of them laughing and talking … In short, the feelings he had long since forgotten were resurrected as a blessing in disguise.

"Shu Haoran..." I came to say goodbye to you today. " After politely knocking on the door, Ling Mu'an walked into Shu Haoran's room for the third time. This time, she didn't go with her mother, as her mother was waiting for her at the corridor.

Her family's debt crisis had been resolved, and those who pursued the debt no longer came to quarrel with them all day long. Her mother was in a good mood and her health was much better, and now she had gone to the soap factory to work and earn money to support her family. She didn't need to take regular leave from home to take care of her mother and protect her. Although it was difficult to make up for the lack of lessons in the past, for her mother's sake, she would definitely recover back to first place and get into a high school.

"Farewell? Where are you going? " Shu Haoran leaned against the bed. Actually, he had already recovered, but Shu Jingyu wanted him to observe for a few more days and say something about avoiding the aftereffects.

"Erm, it's not like I'm going anywhere. It's just that the matter has been resolved. Mom and I can't always come and disturb your rest …" Ling Mu'an lowered her head and forced a smile. Her uncle's words echoed in her ears. It didn't matter if she suffered a little, but she didn't want her mother to be embarrassed.

"Why would it be a disturbance? "Actually …"

"No, Mom and I are actually very busy. We often have to work overtime, and I have to do my homework and do household chores. That's why we won't be coming in the future."

Actually, her uncle's words were right. They were from two different worlds, and their lives were very different. No matter how she looked at it, this kind of interaction was like her and her mother fawning on them, saying that it was impossible to be friends.

"Peace …" No matter how slow Shu Haoran was, he was still able to understand the attitude of a little kid. Although he didn't know who said it, the problem right now wasn't something that could be solved with just a few bloody words of "it's okay" or "I don't care". After all, they were only ten years old, and many things couldn't be decided by them. "How about this, you guys busy yourselves first. When I leave the hospital and everything stabilizes, I'll come find you."

"..." "Right." Ling Mu'an opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, all she said was "En" and started to wait.

He couldn't tell Ling Mu'an that he would have to go to the hospital again after two months because he gradually remembered that before the summer vacation, he would be beaten up by the seniors in the school. And the one who saved him was his older brother, Shu Yichen. As for Ling Mu'an, he had already decided when he was in the cemetery that he would not let her suffer any more.
