Chapter 148: Running Away from Home
Jiang Yunhui didn't know whether he was stimulated or understood that he was going to let go, but he suddenly disappeared. For two consecutive days, when they were about to leave for the show, he was still nowhere to be seen.
"Okay, where did he go?" Xiang Nuan finally couldn't help but ask Uncle Huo.
Oh my god, you are not just throwing a tantrum, are you? How old are you, brother? Why are you running away from home?!
"Something's wrong." Jiang Ranran shook his head and pretended to be serious: "He didn't tell me either. In the past, he would always tell me where he was going for a few days.
"The young master only said that there were some things he wanted to clarify, and he didn't explain anything else."
Xiang Nuan felt vaguely uneasy, wondering if he had been confused by her riddle-like questions and was doing something stupid.
Xiang Nuan looked at the extremely calm old man and child, and couldn't imagine how they lived in the past.
Forget it, hiding is not a solution. Life still has to go on. Unless Jiang Yunhui has completely realized the need to tear up the contract, it will be Game Over.
Xiang Nuan took out her cell phone and called him -
"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service..."
What's going on? Xiang Nuan called twice again but still couldn't get through. She was a little panicked.
"Could he be going to film a movie?"
“That’s possible.”
"Are you going out with friends?"
“That’s possible.”
Xiang Nuan smiled helplessly: "Uncle Huo, everything is possible for you."
"Did Dad go to see Mom?!" Jiang Ranran suddenly shouted.
Xiang Nuan felt goosebumps all over her body. "Mom? Are you talking about Wanqing?"
"That..." Xiang Nuan looked at Uncle Huo, not knowing whether she should avoid Jiang Ranran. Seeing that Uncle Huo didn't understand what she meant, she had to cover Jiang Ranran's ears and asked in a low voice: "Isn't Ranran's mother in the box in the study?"
Uncle Huo was confused at first and then dizzy. This young lady might be mentally unstable.
Jiang Ranran pushed Xiang Nuan's hand away and sighed, "The box contains my mother's belongings, not her!"
"You know what? Doesn't your dad hide it very well and never show it to anyone?"
"I know it anyway."
Xiang Nuan looked at Jiang Ranran. No wonder, nothing could escape his clever mind.
"I'm talking about my mother's grave in Norway. My father took me there when I was very young. It's a very remote place. There's no signal."
you……
Xiang Nuan was shocked. This was the Jiang family's best kept secret, and he just blurted it out. Did he really not treat her as an outsider, or did he know that she would become one of his own sooner or later?
"Ran Ran," Xiang Nuan squatted down and looked at him seriously, "Don't ever mention these things to anyone else, understand?"
Ran Ran nodded. Perhaps because he mentioned his mother, he was a little depressed.
"Will something happen to Dad?"
Xiang Nuan called his number again, but still no one answered.
"Are you sure he didn't go out for something?"
They both shook their heads.
Oh! "Where else does he go when he's having a fit?"
They both shook their heads again.
Xiang Nuan slapped herself on the forehead and suddenly understood Jiang Yunhui's loneliness.
Forget it, I have to rely on myself. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to recall the details in the book. Except for Norway, except for the crazy work, except for being bored in the study room...
"Ah, I see!"
He suddenly stood up, but forgot about his injured foot and fell back down.
"Do you know magic?" Jiang Ranran looked at her incredulously, as if she were a fairy in a fairy tale: "How do you know? Where? Did you see it?"
Xiang Nuan covered his mouth and said unhappily, "Thinking with your brain is not the same as fantasizing!"
"Uncle Huo, prepare the car, I'll go find him."
"Your injury?"
"It's okay, you have to take care of Ranran. It's not far from here, don't worry."
"Do you really know where the young master is?"
"With his achievements, there aren't many places he can go."
Uncle Huo laughed. Rather than being amused by Xiang Nuan, he was genuinely relieved. It was great that the young master finally met someone who understood him.
The destination of Jiang Yunhui's "runaway" trip is only two hours' drive from the city. He once took Ranran here on weekend hikes. It is a small forest hidden deep in the city. In the rainy season, a stream will run through the forest, awakening the vitality of this paradise. But usually, it is just a narrow river covered with pebbles, like a scar on the heart.
After Jiang Yunhui discovered this place, he came here many times and piled up stone tables and chairs by the river, just like a hermit living in the mountains.
But there is no car access here, so you have to park your car far away and walk here.
This was undoubtedly a challenge for Xiang Nuan. Moreover, she had only read about it in a book and didn't know whether she was going in the right direction when entering the forest.
I was also crazy, I didn't know where I had committed the sins that deserved this retribution. Xiang Nuan limped along with difficulty, cursing himself countless times in his heart.
Could he commit suicide? Eh? If he really committed suicide, would the contract automatically become invalid? She would then understand all this shit!
Xiang Nuan twisted her foot, tilted her body, and fell on the stone next to her. She almost cried out in pain, wiping the sweat off her face while muttering to herself: "What are you thinking? If he's gone, Jiang Ranran will be awarded to her? She will have to work hard to raise his baby!"
She took a deep breath and moved forward again, bit by bit.
"Jiang Yunhui!"
Xiang Nuan finally couldn't help it. She just thought that she could barely drive, but she really underestimated the environment here.
"I know you're here!"
But no one responded. This was not an open area, and the trees blocked her view. She didn't know where to start looking.
Could it be that I guessed wrong? He really went to Norway to find Wanqing. People go to their mothers when they are wronged, why did you go to your wife? !
"You bastard, if I find you, you'll see me..."
What are you looking at? Xiang Nuan herself couldn't think of it. She didn't seem to have anything to throw a tantrum about. Expose Jiang Yunhui's secret? Reveal your identity? Humph, forget it. That was the foundation of her foothold in this world. There was no need to cut off her own retreat.
"Jiang Yunhui——"
A flock of birds were startled and flew across the jungle.
Xiang Nuan's feet began to hurt sharply, but she persisted and walked to a relatively open area by the river, then found a flat stone to sit down.
She looked around, but there was no one, not even a ghost. She suddenly felt very thirsty, her throat was smoking, and her mouth was dry.
"I'll count to three. If you can show up in front of me, I'll promise to be with you!" Xiang Nuan really wanted to slap herself twice. She was even talking nonsense.
There is no way. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Come on: "1-2-3-"
"Don't regret what you said."
Xiang Nuan thought she was hallucinating and didn't dare to turn around. She closed her eyes for a long while before carefully turning her head to take a peek.
Suddenly, a big hug wrapped her tightly and she almost lost consciousness.
