Sang Qianqian and Xie Shian looked at each other, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with Xiaodie?"

  Xie Shi'an pointed to the side hall, motioned for Sang Qianqian to sit down and talk, and poured a cup of hot tea for Sang Qianqian before answering her many doubts.

  It turned out that Ruan Xiaodie was kidnapped when she was young, and she was severely frightened, and then became mentally abnormal.

  She was sent abroad for treatment and lived with her aunt who had already settled in Europe. Although her condition recovered a lot, her IQ was still that of a five or six-year-old child, who could only remember limited people and things.

  Because of being with her aunt day and night all year round, the relationship between Ruan Xiaodie and her aunt is actually closer than that of her biological mother.

  The Ruan family sent people to take her back to the country several times, but she refused to go back, so Ruan Cheng had no choice but to let her go.

  This aunt has not been in good health for the past two years. Not long after Ruan Cheng and Ruan Xiaoshuang passed away, her aunt was also critically ill and was admitted to the hospital, so Xie Shi'an hurried to Europe after taking care of Ruan's family affairs.

  In the hospital, he saw the aunt for the last time, and the aunt told him that Ruan Xiaodie's condition might not be incurable.

  She mentioned that she overheard a doctor talking about a certain case. The other person also had mental problems because of a blow many years ago, but he was cured not long ago, and now his mind and life have returned to normal.

  Xie Shi'an went to find the lady, only to learn that the doctor who treated her was actually Professor Fall.

  Sang Qianqian frowned slightly, "Didn't Professor Fall never see a doctor? How did that patient convince him to treat him?"

   "You never know who that person is."

  Xie Shi'an said meaningfully, "That person is Professor Fall's former wife, Caroline."

  Sang Qianqian was startled, "Wife?! Are you sure?"

  If she remembers correctly, Professor Fall divorced his wife many years ago, and the two had no contact at all.

   "I have personally verified her identity, and there is no mistake."

  Xie Shi'an said firmly, "They did have a marriage many years ago, and they had a daughter. The child died unexpectedly when he was three years old. Caroline was greatly stimulated and divorced Professor Fall."

  After the divorce, Caroline went to another city, married soon, and gave birth to a daughter again.

  It's a pity that she met an inhumane person. The other party was an addict. When the drug addiction broke out, he beat her and the child violently, and the child died within a few months.

   Caroline could not bear the pain of bereavement twice. She once contracted alcoholism, and later had serious mental problems. It was Professor Fall who sent her to the hospital for treatment and paid for her medical expenses.

Although Professor Fall seldom visits her, he has been paying attention to Caroline's condition for many years. Not long ago, he used a unique medical method similar to neurological stimulation, supplemented by drugs, which made Caroline feel sick. Lorraine's sanity returned to normal.

  Sang Qianqian's heart moved slightly when he heard it.

  She remembered that when she was studying abroad, when she visited Professor Fall many times, Professor Fall was staring at a photo.

  In the photo, Professor Fall is holding his three-year-old daughter in one hand and his wife's shoulder in the other. All three members of the family are smiling brightly.

  Professor Fall should love his wife very much, otherwise he would not have taken care of his ex-wife after the divorce, devoted himself to studying her illness, and cured her.

   Now, Professor Faure is unwilling to treat Ruan Xiaodie, and he is also unwilling to teach Sang Qianqian how to detoxify, but what if his ex-wife helps persuade him?

  Would it be more likely to win?

  Even if Caroline is unwilling to help, it would be good to learn about Professor Fall's past from her.

  As human beings, there are always weaknesses, and only those who have weaknesses can be targeted. Sang Qianqian doesn't believe that Professor Foer has no weaknesses.

  Sang Qianqian looked at Xie Shi'an: "Shi'an, I want to meet Professor Fall's ex-wife."

   "Do you want her to help persuade Professor Fall?"

  Xie Shi'an immediately guessed what she wanted to do, "I went to her many times and tried various methods, but nothing worked. She seems to have a deep prejudice against Professor Fall, and she doesn't want to come to see Professor Fall at all."

   "It's about Han Yu and Xiaodie, I still want to try again."

  Sang Qianqian glanced at the time, "I'm going to the airport right now."

  Even if there is only one hope in a million, Sang Qianqian has to make this trip.

  Xie Shi'an knows Sang Qianqian too well. It is difficult for others to persuade her to change her mind about what she is determined to do.

  Recalling that at the beginning, no one could get close to the surly and withdrawn Professor Fall, but Sang Qianqian was able to win the favor of Professor Fall.

  Maybe this time, it can be an exception.

  Xie Shi'an stood up, "How about I go with you."

  Sang Qianqian glanced at Ruan Xiaodie on the sofa, the little girl was blinking, looking at them without blinking.

  She refused, "You'd better stay at home and take care of Xiaodie. I can go by myself."

   "With Trek here, it's fine."

   Xie Shi'an said, took his coat and put it on, and was about to go out.

  Ruan Xiaodie rushed over to hold him back, "Brother Shi'an, are you leaving again?"

  She looked like she was about to cry, "I won't let you go. If you go, no one will accompany me."

   "I'll be back in two days."

   Xie Shi'an coaxed her patiently, promised to bring her delicious food, and take her to the playground to play. Ruan Xiaodie reluctantly let go of her after he had a lot of good words.

  When Xie Shi'an and Sang Qianqian got into the car, and the car drove out of the small courtyard, Ruan Xiaodie was still standing at the door, waving at them on tiptoe, and shouted crisply: "Brother Shi'an, come back early."

  Sang Qianqian watched the figure in the rearview mirror gradually disappear, "Xiaodie seems to be very clingy to you."

   "In the beginning, I was actually very repulsed, and I didn't even want to talk to me."

  Xie Shi'an said slowly, "After her aunt passed away, she locked herself in her room without eating or drinking. I stayed with her and comforted her all the time. It was probably since then that she began to rely on me."

  Perhaps it was the experience of being kidnapped when she was a child, which greatly stimulated Ruan Xiaodie's body and mind, and she was extremely insecure.

   And once she started to trust Xie Shi'an, this kind of trust and dependence almost reached the point of pathology.

She is like a child, living in her own world, and like a child, she unreasonably seeks comfort and warmth, so that she often does things that make Xie Shi'an's head hurt, such as taking off her clothes in front of him, Crawled into his bed in the middle of the night to sleep with him, stuff like that.

   Xie Shi'an took a lot of time to teach her to change. However, most of the time, she still doesn't have a sense of distance, and she doesn't understand the true meaning of the difference between men and women.

   Xie Shi'an is actually very uncomfortable with Ruan Xiaodie's child-like dependence on Ruan Xiaodie, but right now, he can only learn to accept it, there is no other way.

  Take good care of Ruan Xiaodie, and try to make her return to a normal person. Perhaps, it is his best confession to Ruan Xiaoshuang and Ruan Cheng.

   "I'm afraid now that her illness will never get better"

  Xie Shi'an's voice was very deep, mixed with depression and worry.

  Ruan Xiaodie's situation is different from Professor Fall's ex-wife Caroline after all. Even if Professor Fall is willing to treat her, it is still hard to say whether she will return to normal.
