Chapter 207 The Little Boy With A Runny Nose


    The news of Aron''s grandma waking up gave I mixed feelings as she smiled faintly at Autumn. She


    was like a drowning man clutching at straws. All of a sudden, the tears from her eyes streamed down


    her face. Autumn quickly stepped forward tofort her, "Don''t cry, I. This is good news. Soon


    everything will be cleared up. You are innocent. You have nothing to worry about."


    "I know. I know, " replied I, in a shaky voice. I nodded slightly while the tears trickled down her


    cheeks. She was unable to control her feelings of relief after being treated unjustly for so long.


    "Autumn, thank you. I am really grateful to you."


    "You don''t have to thank me. None of this would have been possible without Mr. Gu''s help, " said


    Autumn. She smiled and then continued, "Mr. Gu has taken great pains over this matter. In order to


    prevent further unnecessary ramifications and to keep it from Becky, he had to hide the truth from you


    as well. Don''t me him for that, I. He had no other options."


    Autumn tried to speak on behalf of Aron, after all, she had witnessed all the effort Aron had put in, to


    ovee all the hardships.


    After hearing this, I just kept silent, as her lips pressed into a thin line. She never thought that there


    would be more to this story. "I don''t think so. I find it all to be a little too good to be true. You came to


    me today because your grandma is awake now and you finally found out that I didn''t push her down.


    Aron, if you really believed me then, why didn''t youe to exin yourself earlier? Why did you wait


    until your grandma woke up? Do you take me for a fool? Do you think I am still as stupid as I was


    before?"

    Aron didn''t expect I to react in that way. He looked at I helplessly as he tried to make her


    understand, "I, I really didn''t expect you to have such a wrong impression on me. But I still have to


    tell you that I''ve trusted you from the very beginning and I knew that you wouldn''t hurt my grandma. But


    I had no chance to say that to you. I called you many times, but you never answered my calls. You


    always avoided me. I didn''t dare toe to you until today, when my grandma finally woke up, but I


    swear that I''ve always believed in you, I."


    "That is enough! Stop talking to me!" Agitated, I used both of her hands to close her ears in order to


    block out what Aron was saying. She sneered and said to him, "Aron, no matter what you say, I won''t


    be foolish enough to trust you anymore. I am happy to hear that your grandma is awake and well and


    I''m d that you''ve already found out who pushed your grandma. But as long as I am proven to be


    innocent, I am contented. I won''t ask for anything else."


    I red at Aron with cold eyes and went on, "As for the matter regarding you and Becky, it has


    nothing to do with me. I don''t care about that and I also don''t want to hear another word about it from


    you. So If you''re done talking, you may leave now."


    "I, you..." Autumn also didn''t expect that I would be so harsh and reluctant to give Aron a chance


    to exin himself. Just as Autumn was about to speak on behalf of Aron, I silenced her immediately.


    "Autumn, I am your friend. I really appreciate what you''ve done to help me get out of trouble this time.


    But... But if you continue to speak for him, I will have no choice but to turn my back on our friendship."


    I looked at Autumn solemnly. She was not afraid that most people would side with Aron. But Autumn


    was her friend, so I still hoped that, at the very least, Autumn would stand up for her.


    "I..." Autumn furrowed her eye-brows slightly, but eventually, stepped up and stood next to I.


    ''I is right. No matter what she has decided, I should support her, and not act as a go-between in my


    own way, '' Autumn thought.


    This was her concern; only she could understand how she felt about it, and what she needed to do.


    "Mr. Gu, I have to thank you for clearing I of any suspicions. Unfortunately, no matter how things


    develop in the future with I, at least for now, she is unwilling to see you. So I will kindly have to ask


    you to leave here now." Aron realized that I wasn''t going to change her mind, as she stood in front of


    the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, with her back turned to him.


    Aron thought it would be best to give her some time to calm down, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will


    leave, but I hope that some day you will find it in your heart to forgive me, I." "Anyway, you can call


    me if you ever need anything. I won''te to bother you anymore."


    After that, Aron turned to Autumn and asked, "Miss Ye, could you see me out?"


    "What? Me?" Autumn was a bit dazed by his words. She stood there, stunned, for a moment and then


    nodded gently, "Okay, this way please."


    When Autumn opened the door to get out, the onlookers standing outside I''s office, all suddenly


    dispersed, pretending to be busy with their work immediately. Autumn had noticed them, but she


    decided not to say anything and walked out to the elevator with Aron. While they waited for the


    elevator, Autumn asked, "Do you want to talk to me about I? To be honest, I also didn''t expect her to


    be so stubborn. But don''t worry, I will try to persuade her again once she cools down, " said Autumn.


    "No, I am not going to talk about I with you. Instead, I need to speak with you about Yvonne." Aron


    looked at Autumn, who closely resembled Wendy, but looked purer and left others with a sense of


    refreshment. It was no wonder that she looked so familiar to Aron, when he saw her for the first time.


    "Yvonne? What''s wrong with her?" Autumn''s eye-brows furrowed slightly at the mentioning of her


    name, "What happened to her this time?"


    Autumn felt speechless every time she heard Yvonne''s name. If possible, she hoped that she would


    never meet Yvonne and Wendy, or hear their names ever again.


    "I am the half-brother of Yvonne, which means I am your half-brother too. We met many years ago


    when we were still little kids." The sight of Autumn somehowforted Aron''s thoughts. If Autumn was


    his half-sister, then perhaps he could aspire to be a kind brother. "I was the little boy with a runny nose,


    " said Aron.


    "Aron! Is that really you?" Autumn was utterly surprised at Aron''s words, which reminded her of the little


    boy she had met in the Gu family residence when she lodged there. Although Aron never changed his


    name, Autumn never expected, that the man now standing in front of her, would be the toothless boy


    whom she met in her childhood. Autumn didn''t recognize him because he looked so different from how


    he did when he was just a child.


    Aron, however, didn''t know Autumn''s name since his childhood. It wasn''t until Dr. Zhao''s asional


    reminders, that helped Aron to recall her.


    "Yes, it''s me. I am Aron." Aron looked at Autumn with a big smile on his face. As children, the both of


    them got along very well. Perhaps they shared a simr life experience, which brought them closer and


    made them appreciate each other. Together they were the outsiders of the Gu Family. "I never


    expected that the little girl, with a runny nose, who cried all day long would one day turn out to be such


    a beautifuldy when she grew up, " said Aron and then he jested, "And she even got married before


    me."


    "I am the one who is astonished the most here. What a pleasant surprise! You look so different from


    when you were just a kid." Autumn looked him up and down carefully, and then curiously asked, "How


    did you recognize me?"


    "I sensed a strange feeling of deja vu when I saw you for the first time in many years, on the day I


    found out that Yvonne was going to frame you. So I did a little investigationter just to be sure. How


    have you been all these years?" Indeed, at first, even Aron also had mixed feelings of both shock and


    relief at the same time.


    "Yes, I am fine." Autumn gave him a slight nod, when the door of the elevator opened. "You can go


    back first, and as for I..." Autumn paused for a little while and then continued, "I think you should


    settle things with Becky first, but be decisive, and don''t be careless about it."


    "Yes, I know. Thanks a lot." Aron nodded in agreement. "Please help me to look after her for now. She


    must be really upset."


    "I will. I know, and don''t worry, " replied Autumn. She still felt overwhelmed even after Aron had left,


    because she wasn''t expecting to see her old childhood friend again after so many years. It was no


    wonder that Aron tried to help her without any hesitation, when he found out that Yvonne tried to frame


    her. What a coincidence!"
