"I... I don't know what happened either. Maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe I heard you calling me and couldn't bear to die, so I woke up."
Jiang Wanqing spoke with a half-smile, but her mind was perfectly clear. She had not forgotten what she had seen and heard in that vast white chaos.
But if she told them now, it would definitely scare them, since they already find it unbelievable that she could wake up.
“It must be the result of your good deeds, sister-in-law. If someone as good as you were to die, it would be a loss for many people,” Hong Xing said.
"You're so glib, but you're not wrong, Wanqing is indeed a very good person, and a very capable one," Molly added.
"You guys..."
Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle. If this continued, she might become an immortal god.
However, there was one thing that really intrigued her, so she simply asked it.
"By the way, Hung Hing, how did you and Molly end up in the Southwest?"
Based on her understanding of Cheng Ran and her own parents, she should only report good news and not bad...
"We came here after seeing the news in the newspaper."
"Newspaper, news?"
She frowned, but then thought that it was normal for something this big to make the news, but...
At this moment, Cheng Ran brought in a steaming bowl of porridge. Everyone made way for him, and he sat down next to Jiang Wanqing, blowing on the steam rising from the bowl.
"Here, eat something first. You haven't eaten for several days. Have some liquid food first, and we'll cook something delicious for you when you've recovered."
"Okay, sure."
Her stomach was indeed not suitable for stimulation at the moment. She took a small bite with the spoon, and it was warm and comforting.
"They just said my story was in the newspaper, you know that?"
Cheng Ran paused in feeding the porridge and hummed in response.
"I didn't expect it either. I had already asked people to suppress it, but the people at the newspaper said that someone paid to spread it. As for this person... we still don't know who it is. We only know that they must have spent a lot of money to hide themselves."
Su Su is already dead. Even if she could be reborn, it would be impossible for her to move so quickly. The Du family is also falling apart. Who would want to profit from this tragedy?
Is the only goal to increase newspaper circulation?
Jiang Wanqing had just woken up and was still a little confused, so she decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
"Once I've recovered a bit, I still need to get to the bottom of this..."
"Okay, we'll definitely find out who's behind this when the time comes."
Several people were having a lively reunion here when sounds came from outside.
Is anyone home?
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Jiang Wanqing blinked and looked at Molly.
"It sounds like Shen Huan to me. Why don't you go out and check if it is?"
"I'll go."
Molly went out and saw that it really was Shen Huan. She was carrying a suitcase, looking travel-worn, and was still panting heavily.
"Molly!"
"Chen Huan! You've come!"
The two rushed to each other and embraced, and before Shen Huan could speak, tears streamed down her face.
"Where's Wanqing? Did I make it?"
"We've made it just in time! Let's go in and see her."
Shen Huan froze, grabbed Molly's hand, and hesitated, her lips trembling.
"Is...is this the last time we'll see each other?"
"What are you talking about? It's good news. Wan just woke up, and we're all in the room."
"real?"
A smile finally appeared on Shen Huan's face. He patted his chest and took a breath.
"That's good, that's good. Come on, take me inside and have a look."
"good!"
The two returned to the room hand in hand, and Molly pulled Shen Huan to the bedside.
"Wanqing, look who's here!"
"Shen Huan!" Wan Qing grabbed her hand. "You're here too. It seems the news has really spread to the capital."
"Yes, I didn't know Molly and Hung Hing were here for two days. I've seen a lot of reports about you, Wanqing, in the Beijing area these past two days. I heard the Cheng family knows about it too, but I left in a hurry and didn't ask about their reaction. But if they're coming, it should be within the next couple of days."
Shen Huan brought them some news that couldn't be ignored. Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran exchanged a glance, almost forgetting about his parents.
"Are the newspapers in Beijing still reporting on this?"
"Yes, it's been on the front page for days, and there are even tabloids saying you're dead. I wish I could find the person spreading the rumors and slap them a few times!"
"Don't act rashly. I'm fine, thank you for coming all this way."
"Oh right, Shuzhen also said she's going back to China. Why don't we call her and let her know?"
"Yes, we should tell her that she's abroad and it's not easy for her to come back and forth. I'm already awake, so let's not bother her."
“Then I’ll go make the call! Shen Huan, sit down and rest for a while,” Molly said.
The house had been shrouded in gloom for some time, and it had been a long time since there had been such a cheerful atmosphere. Xue He was also very happy and clapped her hands.
"I'll go prepare the meal for you!"
"I'm going to buy groceries!" Jiang Jianguo said.
Everyone quickly divided up the tasks, while Nannan took on the role of creating a lively atmosphere, making everyone giggle.
Cheng Ran accidentally saw himself in the mirror. His stubble and haggard face made him look more than ten years older.
He was even a little disgusted with himself, touched his face, and said something somewhat embarrassed.
"You guys chat, I'll go tidy up."
"Hahaha... He should have been dealt with a long time ago!" everyone teased him.
Jiang Wanqing suppressed a laugh: "He's just too worried and has neglected himself. How could I bear to leave him?"
Cheng Ran looked at her and smiled; his deep affection was beyond doubt.
Today was a rare day of liveliness and joy. Jiang Wanqing had just woken up and was still feeling weak. At lunchtime, Cheng Ran helped her sit down at the table.
Jiang Jianguo bought celebratory drinks, Xue He cooked a large table of delicious dishes, and Shen Huan even brought local specialties from the Beijing area, which she originally intended to give to Jiang Wanqing's parents as a gesture of comfort, but now they were using them directly.
"Come on, everyone... let's eat."
"cheers!"
Just as I picked up my chopsticks, I heard a sound from outside.
"Comrade Cheng, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Xue, how are things at home today?"
"Who is it?" Molly asked curiously.
"Yang Chang is also my partner. It's alright, we're all on the same side, eat up."
Jiang Wanqing reassured them that Yang Chang had already walked in. When he saw her sitting safely on the table, he was so surprised that he dropped what he was holding—a stack of gold ingots, the kind used for the dead.
"Comrade Jiang... Comrade Jiang, you... you're awake?!"
His eyes showed shock, fear, and surprise; joy was rarely seen.
The doctor said there was a good chance he wouldn't wake up...
"Xiao Yang, you must have been scared too. Come sit down and eat with us. Wanqing just woke up, and we were startled at first as well."
Yang Chang swallowed hard, followed Jiang Jianguo's invitation, and sat down at the table, staring at Jiang Wanqing as if wondering if she was a human or a ghost...
