The two sat down on the sofa together. Wen Ran didn't say anything, waiting quietly to hear what Shang Beixue had to say.
"It seems like this is the first time we've sat together and talked alone." Shang Beixue said softly.
Looking at her thin appearance, Wen Ran even felt that a gust of wind could blow her away.
"It's the first time, just say whatever you want to say." Wen Ran said frankly.
Shang Beixue smiled and said, "I just wanted to chat with you, nothing else. I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts. I'll wait for next time..."
Shang Beixue paused as he spoke, his eyes dimmed a little, and he smiled bitterly, "I don't know if there will be another chance next time."
Shang Beixue is very aware of her physical condition and wakes up every morning feeling that this will be her last day.
"Don't talk nonsense, there will definitely be a chance." Wen Ran encouraged her.
Shang Beixue didn't want the atmosphere between them to be too depressing, so she changed the subject, "You and Xiaochi should be getting married soon, right? If you don't mind, you can call me sister, and I'll call you Ranran."
Wen Ran looked down at the diamond ring on her right finger and smiled, "Okay, sister, you can come over often in the future. I've been resting recently and have been at home the whole time."
"Well, okay." Shang Beixue lowered her head and held Wen Ran's hand on her leg, finally saying what she really wanted to say.
"Of course, you and Xiaochi will definitely have your own children after you get married. I just hope that after I'm gone, you can help me take care of Changchang. As long as he can grow up safely, I'll be satisfied."
What Shang Beixue can't let go of the most now is Changchang. Changchang is young and in poor health.
Even though Lu Jingchuan promised her that he would take care of Changchang and raise him, Shang Beixue still felt that Changchang was too pitiful.
Shang Beixue has few relatives and friends around her and is all alone. She wants to cry just thinking about it.
Wen Ran nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, sister, Jing Chi and I will definitely do it."
Shang Beixue rubbed her eyes, and her hair fell down on both sides. Wen Ran could not see the expression on her face.
Neither of them spoke again, as if everything was implied.
Shang Beixue grabbed Wen Ran's hand as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. Wen Ran could clearly feel her hand trembling slightly.
The helpless look made her feel distressed.
Just then, Wen Ran's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Shang Jingchi calling.
Shang Jingchi is very busy at the company and would not call at this time unless it is something urgent. Wen Ran quickly pressed the answer button.
As soon as I pressed the button, I heard Shang Jingchi ask anxiously: "Ranran, did my mother come to look for you?"
"No!" Wen Ran paused and added, "Your sister and Jingchuan are here. They just arrived not long ago. When will you be back today..."
"My mother is missing." Shang Jingchi interrupted Wen Ran before she finished speaking.
Wen Ran stood up from the sofa in a flash. "Missing? Why would he disappear out of nowhere?"
Lin Shurong is in poor health and rarely goes out on weekdays. She stays in the old house almost all the time.
Although she and Jiang Zhuo did not share the same ideals, they kept each other company. Shang Jingchi was the only one in charge of the company's affairs, and they rarely asked about them.
Considering Lin Shurong's age, Wen Ran asked again: "Could it be that she got lost? Have you called the police?"
"Director Li is already investigating. You don't need to worry about it and don't go out." Shang Jingchi reminded again and again.
If this was really intentional, then the person the murderer really wanted to target was most likely Shang Jingchi.
Wen Ran pursed her lips and agreed first.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ran called Jiang Zhuoyu again. Fortunately, the call was connected quickly and Wen Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh! Xiao Ranran~" Jiang Zhuoyu cried out, heartbroken, "Did Xiao Chi tell you? His mother is missing."
"Grandma, I already know. I called just to make sure you're safe. I'm glad you're okay."
Jiang Zhuoyu is lying on the bed at this moment. She is not the same as before. She will easily get sick if she gets excited.
The family doctor was standing by with a heart pill in his hand.
"It's all my fault!" Jiang Zhuoyu pounded his chest, looking annoyed. "It's all my fault for talking too much."
Wen Ran frowned, "Grandma, what's going on?"
Jiang Zhuoyu sighed heavily and spoke slowly.
"Shurong and I were praising Xiaochi for his good management of the company and the popular game he developed, and we ended up talking about the company's equity.
I accidentally mentioned that Xiao Chi transferred 33% of the company's shares to Shi Yang. Oh my! What a mouth I have! Why did I say that?
Jiang Zhuoyu slapped his thigh in regret, guilt filling every cell in his body.
If something really happened to Lin Shurong, she would become the biggest sinner. Not only would her family blame her, but she would also not be able to forgive herself.
Wen Ran noticed the Shi Yang Jiang Zhuoyu mentioned, so he asked, "Grandma, who is the Shi Yang you are talking about?"
Jiang Zhuoyu was obviously choked, and once again blamed himself in his heart for being too talkative. After struggling for a long time, he finally chose to be honest.
“He is Xiao Chi’s half-brother, but don’t worry, he didn’t enter the merchant’s house.
And his mother has passed away, and now the child lives alone outside.”
Listening to Jiang Zhuoyu's words, Wen Ran's mind flashed with Shi Yang's face. She always felt that the Shi Yang Jiang Zhuoyu mentioned was the same person as the teacher Shi she knew.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that Shi Yang and Shang Jingchi look very similar.
They all have almond-shaped eyes, deep and three-dimensional facial features, and thin lips.
