The next day, Wang Sicong successfully met with Shangguan Rong. Under Li Churan's careful guidance, Shangguan Rong behaved very appropriately.
"Madam Shangguan, we must thank you for raising such a fine son, which is why our Wang family was able to find him!" Wang Sicong was always shrewd and adept at social maneuvering, and with Shangguan Rong's deliberate cooperation, this meeting was a perfect success.
After the meeting, the wedding date for Wang Siyuan and Li Churan was set for next Thursday, which is exactly ten days from now.
Although Shangguan Rong also mentioned that the time was a bit rushed, she was already completely overwhelmed when Wang Sicong presented her with a diamond bracelet as a gift.
Among these people, Wang Siyuan was the most excited. She trembled slightly throughout, her eyes filled with intense emotion as she looked at Li Churan. Li Churan smiled politely at her, but the chill in the depths of her eyes grew stronger and stronger.
After the meeting, Shangguan Rong sat in the passenger seat of Li Churan's car. Before this meeting, Shangguan Rong knew that Wang Siyuan's family background was not bad. After this meeting, she had a deeper understanding of Wang Siyuan's family background.
A bracelet worth hundreds of thousands was casually given as a gift, and the wedding decorations, though not large in scale, exuded luxury and were obviously very valuable.
"Chu Ran, tell me, what exactly is this Dean Wang in charge of? How come he's so wealthy? This is much more impressive than the Ye family's back then..."
"Mom! I'll drop you off here for now! I have some other things to take care of, so I'll go take care of them first!" The car stopped downstairs in the residential area, and Li Churan impatiently gave him the order to leave. Before Shangguan Rong could react, the car had already driven away.
"Chu Ran, are you coming back for dinner tonight?" Shangguan Rong hurriedly waved and asked, but Li Chu Ran's car had already driven far away.
Back home, Shangguan Rong was still immersed in the excitement of currying favor with the powerful and wealthy, unable to extricate himself from the moment he returned. The more he thought about it, the more it itched to show off to someone.
Then she thought of Aunt Zhou's family. After she returned the gold bars last time, Aunt Zhou had ridiculed her relentlessly. What a bunch of idiots! They really think they're so great. Now she's Dean Wang's in-law, and these little whelps dare to talk back to her like that? They're asking for trouble.
She had to see how Aunt Zhou fawned over him.
So Shangguan Rong decided not to go back and instead headed to Aunt Zhou's house.
Aunt Zhou lives in a newly built residential area, where not many other people have moved in yet.
Aunt Zhou used to talk about this with great pride, which made Shangguan Rong very envious.
But this time, for some reason, the Zhou family seemed unusually quiet, and a strange smell permeated the air.
"Knock knock knock knock knock." Shangguan Rong kept knocking on the door, but no one answered.
"That's really strange, where did Aunt Zhou and the others go?" Shangguan Rong couldn't help but complain.
"Just then, the door creaked open." Shangguan Rong was startled.
Just as Shangguan Rong lowered his guard, a dark creature emerged from the doorway.
"Ah! There's a rat!" Shangguan Rong screamed loudly. How strange!
"What on earth is going on?" Shangguan Rong fumbled for the light switch and turned it on, but he had no idea when they were all broken.
"What bad luck!" Shangguan Rong complained impatiently.
"What is this underground? Is it leaking?" Shangguan Rong felt that the floor felt strange, as if it was damp and slippery.
"Forget it, let's just come back tomorrow!" Since Aunt Zhou and her family aren't home, then forget it.
Shangguan Rong turned to leave, but suddenly seemed to trip over something and almost fell.
Huh! What's this on the ground? Why does it feel so strange? It feels soft and squishy. Shangguan Rong turned on his phone screen and shone the dim light on the ground.
All she could see were a pair of unseeing eyes, staring straight at her.
The ground was covered in blood.
What had just tripped her was clearly a corpse.
In the long period of darkness, Shangguan Rong gradually adapted to the darkness.
By the dim moonlight streaming through the window, she could clearly see that the ground was littered with corpses lying haphazardly.
The most terrifying thing was that what had just rolled over her feet wasn't a rat at all, but a bloody human head.
At this moment, its face contorted in a ferocious expression, it rolled down into the corner of the wall.
"Ah!" A scream shattered the tranquility of the night sky.
Aunt Zhou's entire family, not a single one was spared.
An hour later, Shangguan Rong finally finished giving her statement. Li Churan came to pick her up, but Shangguan Rong was still in shock from discovering the body.
What bad luck! To encounter something like this, ugh!
"What bad luck! How could something like this happen? I'm going to boil a pot of pomelo leaf water to take a bath when I get home!" Shangguan Rong kept patting his body, as if trying to shake off all the bad luck.
Shangguan Rong kept complaining, while Li Churan drove in silence.
"Chu Ran, tell me, who did Aunt Zhou's family offend? They were so ruthless! Didn't you see it? That murderer was ruthless!" Shangguan Rong was still trembling with fear, shrinking like a quail.
"She must have done something she shouldn't have, offended someone she shouldn't have. People! Being stupid isn't scary, being clumsy isn't scary either, what's scary is being stupid but thinking you're smart." Li Churan drove very slowly, the dappled light and shadow outside the car window casting an uncertain glow on his face.
Shangguan Rong felt a chill run down his spine. "Chu Ran, did you do this?"
"Why would I do such a thing? She hasn't offended me." Li Churan remained unfazed and continued driving.
“But, a while ago…” Shangguan Rong quickly said.
"Mom, remember this!" Li Churan interrupted her directly, "She has never offended me!"
Shangguan Rong suddenly understood what Li Churan meant. She nodded quickly, and after she calmed down, she realized that she was soaked in cold sweat.
The two returned home in silence. After giving a few instructions, Li Churan left to handle official business.
Before he left, Shangguan Rong suddenly spoke, trembling, "Chu Ran, can you stay today? I'm a little scared to be alone."
"Mom! I have important things to take care of today. I'll have Xiao Liu stay in the living room. You can call him if you need anything!" Li Churan said and left.
He must become powerful as quickly as possible so that his fate will not be controlled by others.
Regardless of whether Li Churan was willing or not, preparations for his wedding with Wang Siyuan were proceeding in an orderly manner.
Ten days later, the day of Li Churan and Wang Siyuan's wedding finally arrived.
