As they were talking, the two heard a noise behind the emergency exit door.
Huo Junyu suddenly opened the door and saw Lu Ran standing there with her head down, silent, with an embarrassed expression on her face.
Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Lu Ran had heard what they had just said.
“Ranran…” Mianmian felt a pang of pain in her heart and stepped forward to gently hug her.
After a long while, Lu Ran whispered, "I'm sorry..."
"This isn't your fault, why are you apologizing?"
"That ring was an heirloom of the Huo family, but it was taken by my mother..."
"Fortunately, he's been found." Huo Junyu smiled faintly. "Don't feel guilty. I'm entrusting Yangyang to you for now. Seeing you when he wakes up will be more effective than any medicine!"
However, the more they said that, the more guilty Lu Ran felt.
"Sister, have you found my mother yet?"
Jiang Mianmian paused for a moment, then nodded gently.
"Then... can I go with you to find her?"
"Ranran, I think you'd better not go!"
"My mom might listen to me!" Lu Ran looked at her eagerly. "Let me go. I want to persuade her to come back. She wasn't always like that!"
Huo Junyu looked solemn, while Jiang Mianmian hesitated.
But no matter who it was, no one could dissuade Lu Ran at this moment.
The next day, Lu Ran sat with them in the van.
The van had seven seats, and everyone except Huo Junyang, who was still in the hospital, was present. Two more vehicles followed behind, each carrying members of the Lu family.
According to the information obtained, Cheng Suyue has left the old town and headed towards the suburbs.
The outskirts of the city are mostly continuous mountain ranges, and that direction is sparsely populated; if you continue, you'll be leaving the central city. That area also happens to pass through the forest where Pei Nian was attacked.
The people in the car remained silent. Lu Ran was restless, biting her lip tightly, and there seemed to be tears glistening in her eyes.
Jiang Mianmian and Huo Junyu sat side by side, with Pei Nian staring intently at the back of Huo Junyu's head, while Huo Jingnan glanced at Pei Nian every now and then and coughed heavily twice.
His efforts finally earned Pei Nian's attention. The little girl turned her face and asked him expressionlessly, "Motion sickness?"
"Huh?" Huo Jingnan was taken aback. "No."
Pei Nian coldly uttered four words: "Then shut up."
Huo Jingnan: "!!"
At this moment, Huo Junyu received a call from Uncle Yi's subordinate, who reported that they had caught up with Cheng Suyue and sent him their location.
As they drew closer to their destination, they entered a mountainous area where the road became difficult to navigate. Huo Junyu sat next to the driver, referring to the GPS while giving directions.
Just then, Pei Nian suddenly pushed Huo Jingnan aside and quickly sat down next to Jiang Mianmian.
Huo Junyu turned around and stared in disbelief.
Huo Jingnan was also stunned, just like him.
"Hey..." After a long while, Huo Jingnan finally spoke up, "What are you doing sitting there? That's Junyu's seat!"
"Isn't Brother-in-law Lu sitting in the front now?" Pei Nian said nonchalantly.
Huo Jingnan: "...Yes, he went to sit in the front, but he..."
"We're almost there, he definitely won't sit back down now!"
Huo Jingnan's eyes widened: "..."
"Hey, Junyu, aren't you coming over to sit down?"
Huo Junyu suppressed a laugh and deliberately shook his head. "Pei Nian is right, we'll be there soon, so I won't go back and forth. Besides, I still have to give directions... Driver, turn right at that fork in the road ahead."
"Huo Junyu!"
Huo Jingnan couldn't afford to lose his temper at this moment, so he could only hold back. However, when he looked up, he met Pei Nian's gaze, which looked at him as if he were mentally challenged, and heard her soft four words: "Inexplicable."
Huo Junyu, sitting in the front row, couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
"I said..." Huo Jingnan muttered softly from the back row, "You don't need to stand so close to Xiaoyouzi, do you?"
"Hmm?" Pei Nian reasoned with him earnestly, "How can we not get closer? We'll be facing Cheng Suyue in a bit, someone who's been ruthless to me! If a conflict breaks out later, I can protect Sister Mianmian if I get closer!"
"Pei Nian! You've just recovered from your serious injuries, who do you want to protect? Who can you still protect!"
Huo Jingnan became increasingly agitated the more he thought about it.
Back then, I risked my life to pull her back from the clutches of death, paying for her medical expenses and living expenses, renting a courtyard house for her to recuperate, and even becoming a stay-at-home husband, cooking a variety of dishes every day, treating her like an empress dowager...
But what about this girl?!
They have absolutely no sense of gratitude!
Did he heal her body so that she could risk her life for others again?
Huo Jingnan suddenly lost his temper and shouted, "Your injury has just healed, can't you take better care of yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole car fell silent.
The driver seemed to step on the brakes as well, glancing in the rearview mirror at the usually good-tempered Mr. Huo, wondering why he had suddenly become like this.
Jiang Mianmian nudged Pei Nian and gave her a wink, signaling her to sit in the back.
Pei Nian remained unmoved.
Before Huo Jingnan's volcano had even finished erupting, he turned to Huo Junyu and shouted, "You're responsible for your wife's safety!"
Huo Junyu frowned: "Are you on fire again, kid?"
Huo Jingnan crossed his arms in front of his chest, turned his head away, and glared angrily out the window.
Jiang Mianmian and Huo Junyu exchanged a glance and chuckled softly.
Jiang Mianmian felt that this was not the boy's broken heart, but rather that after the boy's heart was broken, those shards of glass were ruthlessly thrown at everyone around him.
