In the past, netizens were aware of Ruan Chu’s academic excellence at Jin City University but overlooked her field of study in law. It came as a surprise to many when she obtained her lawyer’s license while still involved in filming.
When Old Master Ruan fainted from the shock of online rumors, Ruan Chu was incensed. She targeted several marketing accounts spreading false news about Ruan Xueling’s demise, demonstrating the influence of law students to netizens and fans alike.
Some online users even jokingly remarked that Ruan Chu and Qiao Xuan were the untouchable duo of the Chinese entertainment industry: one a protege of Qiu Baizhou, the other under his protective wing.
Meanwhile, Gu Yang provided Tong Wan with seven consecutive days of psychiatric treatment, significantly stabilizing her mental state. Though she still vocalized her quest to find her daughter, her demeanor became less indifferent and more communicative when discussing her.
During her episodes, Xiao Yize would comfort her, assuring her that he had dispatched individuals to search for her sister. And when she regained composure, he would accompany her in the search.
To aid in Tong Wan’s distraction, Gu Yang advised Xiao Yize to engage her in conversation about unrelated topics.
Xiao Yize couldn’t help but notice his mother’s particular interest in his potential partner. He believed his efforts had contributed to her swift recovery from her vegetative state, so he frequently sought Tong Wan’s advice on how to win Gu Jin’s heart.
Tong Wan eagerly engaged in these discussions, recognizing the importance of building a strong rapport with her future daughter-in-law. Upon learning that Ruan Xueling was Gu Jin’s mother, Tong Wan took the initiative to visit her, keen on fostering a good relationship with her future in-laws.
Having heard from Gu Zhaoming about Xiao Yize’s considerable assistance to their family following her accident, Ruan Xueling warmly welcomed Tong Wan. Moreover, knowing that Xiao Yize was a friend and mentor to Gu Jin and the others, she readily engaged in friendly conversation with Tong Wan.
Their frequent chats in the ward gradually fostered familiarity between them.
One day, when Gu Yang and Gu Jin visited Ruan Xueling, they found Tong Wan and Ruan Xueling seated together on the bed, engrossed in conversation. Tong Wan observed Ruan Xueling skillfully navigating her phone and marveled, “I never expected technology to advance so rapidly.”
“I remember, 18 years ago, phone screens were much smaller and less clear,” she reminisced. “They were bulky and cumbersome.”
Tong Wan eagerly gestured with her fingers, indicating her interest in learning.
Having learned about Tong Wan’s past vegetative state from Gu Yang, Ruan Xueling sympathized with her situation.
“Why don’t I teach you how to use a cell phone?” Ruan Xueling suggested compassionately. “Eighteen years ago, cell phones weren’t as prevalent, and many features weren’t available yet. But now, they’re indispensable for various aspects of life, like payments, shopping, and chatting…”
As Ruan Xueling spoke, she pointed out different software on her phone, explaining their functions and usage methods to Tong Wan.
Tong Wan observed Ruan Xueling’s instructions with rapt attention, her eyes sparkling with earnestness.
Impressed by Tong Wan’s eagerness to learn, Ruan Xueling felt a sense of fulfillment and became even more proactive in her teaching.
Watching from the sidelines, Gu Yang felt a warmth in his heart as he sympathized with Tong Wan’s journey.
How many eighteen-year periods could one experience in a lifetime?
Eighteen years later, the world had drastically changed. Gu Yang had just emerged from a dream, finding himself transformed.
Realizing that Tong Wan would require time to acclimate to this new world after her discharge from the hospital, Gu Yang excused himself, announcing, “I’m going out for a while.”
Venturing downstairs and onto the street outside the hospital, Gu Yang located a Dream Seeking Phone store. He purchased the latest model before returning to the ward.
Gu Yang handed the box to Tong Wan with a smile. “Auntie Tong, this is for you.”
Tong Wan eagerly took the box and opened it. Upon seeing the phone nestled inside, her eyes sparkled with delight. She turned to Gu Yang and exclaimed, “Little cutie, thank you.”
