Duan Meimei stood on the roof, her slender figure blown by the wind, swaying like a piece of paper.
Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were desolate, as if she would jump off the bed at any moment in excitement.
When Jiang Ranran thought of this scene, his heart tightened.
"Jiang Ranran, you promised me that you would take good care of Xiaoyu for me!" Duan Meimei yelled. At this moment, she was awake.
"No!" Jiang Ranran shouted.
But Duan Meimei just smiled miserably, turned around and walked into the raging fire.
"Put out the fire quickly!" Gu Tingchen yelled at the servant.
He absolutely cannot let this matter be reported in the newspaper, as it will seriously affect the reputation of the Gu family!
After much effort, the fire was finally put out, and people found Duan Meimei's body in the ruins.
She was already burnt.
Jiang Ranran later found out that Duan Meimei secretly took the key while the caregiver was asleep that night, found a lighter, and set the curtains on fire. The fire then spread and burned down the entire small building. Fortunately, there were only the caregiver and Duan Meimei in the building, and the caregiver was also rescued by Gu Tingchen.
Duan Meimei died just like that, and Jiang Ranran suddenly felt empty in her heart.
That night, Jiang Ranran caught a cold again and was finally carried home by Gu Tingchen. She had a fever all night and Gu Tingchen stayed by her side, serving her tea and water. Jiang Ranran's fever subsided early the next morning.
But when she thought of Duan Meimei, Jiang Ranran's heart sank. She hated Duan Meimei, but also felt sorry for her.
Gu Tingchen had already taken care of everything. Soon, the small Western-style building was cleared out and he was ready to build a new one here. He had a lot of things to do, but he did not neglect to take care of Jiang Ranran at all.
Gu Tingchen personally delivered breakfast to Jiang Ranran. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Ranran looking depressed.
"Are you still thinking about what happened that night?" Gu Tingchen put down the porridge and asked gently, afraid that a sudden sound would scare Jiang Ranran.
Jiang Ranran was slightly startled and nodded bitterly.
"Don't think about it, drink the porridge quickly to replenish your energy." Gu Tingchen gently pushed the porridge bowl.
Jiang Ranran picked it up, but was reluctant to put it in her mouth.
Gu Tingchen raised his eyebrows jokingly: "What? You want me to feed you myself?"
After saying that, before Jiang Ranran could answer, Gu Tingchen snatched the bowl of porridge, stirred it gently with a spoon, and then scooped a spoonful and handed it to Jiang Ranran's mouth personally.
Jiang Ranran had no choice but to open her mouth and let Gu Tingchen feed the porridge into her mouth.
No matter what Jiang Ranran ate, it tasted like chewing wax.
"Does it taste okay?" Gu Tingchen asked her expectantly.
Jiang Ranran had no choice but to answer against his will: "Yeah, it's delicious."
"You're lying! I can tell exactly what's on your face." Jiang Ranran was taken aback by the man's answer. He knew himself too well.
Jiang Ranran had no right to object and was forced to eat the porridge handed to her by Gu Tingchen spoonfully.
At this moment, someone outside came to tell Gu Tingchen: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Su is here."
Su Cheng? Gu Tingchen frowned upon hearing this name. Could he be coming to settle accounts with Jiang Ranran?
Could it be that Su Cheng still hasn't woken up yet? Is he still blaming Jiang Ranran for that incident?
Hearing Su Cheng's name, Jiang Ranran became obviously nervous. She raised her legs and prepared to get out of bed to meet Su Cheng in person, but was stopped by Gu Tingchen, "You are not feeling well, don't go."
"But I have to face it. Besides, I'm sorry..." Jiang Ranran said with a guilty look on his face.
"Nonsense! You haven't wronged anyone. I told you, it was an accident!" Gu Tingchen rarely yelled at Jiang Ranran. He hated the fact that Jiang Ranran always blamed him for all the grievances she suffered. She was so kind that she was a little silly!
Jiang Ranran didn't say anything else, fearing that she would completely anger Gu Tingchen.
"You rest well here, I'll go meet Su Cheng and see what he is going to do!" Gu Tingchen said unhappily, then followed the servant downstairs, ready to meet Su Cheng in person.
The powerful aura made Jiang Ranran afraid that Su Cheng would be subjected to Gu Tingchen's thundering methods.
Gu Tingchen walked downstairs and saw Su Cheng sitting on the sofa in the living room, in a daze.
As soon as he saw him, Gu Tingchen frowned. When he walked up to Su Cheng, he relaxed his brows slightly: "Su Cheng, you are here."
Su Cheng stood up, his expression looking a little unnatural.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see." Su Cheng seemed not as familiar with Gu Tingchen as before, and they seemed to have become strangers.
This uncomfortable feeling suddenly rushed into Gu Tingchen's heart. He frowned tightly, "Su Cheng, does it have to be like this?"
Gu Tingchen's subtext is to say, weren't they friends before? Why are they so strangers now?
Su Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. After a moment of silence, he said with some difficulty: "An An has been discharged from the hospital. I came to apologize."
"Apologize?" Gu Tingchen asked back. This surprised him. He thought Su Cheng was here to cause trouble.
Su Cheng nodded. He knew that Jiang Ranran had a hard time recently, and so had An An. She kept telling Su Cheng that it was not Jiang Ranran's fault. Gradually, Su Cheng came to terms with it.
Gu Tingchen's frown slowly relaxed. It seemed that Su Cheng was not hopeless.
"Jiang Ranran has been wanting to go to the hospital to see An An these days, but she's worried that you and An An will get emotional and reject her, so she hasn't dared to show up." Gu Tingchen couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought of Jiang Ranran's worried look.
Jiang Ranran is like this, touching his heart all the time.
"I was too emotional before. It was my fault. I feel really sad about losing my child." Su Cheng hung his head. After this incident, Gu Tingchen found that he was obviously not as energetic as before, and he looked a little decadent.
Gu Tingchen raised his hand and gently patted Su Cheng's shoulder: "You are still young, you will have children again."
Hearing what Gu Tingchen said, Su Cheng pursed his lips and nodded, hoping that God would give him another child.
At this moment, Jiang Ranran, who had been eavesdropping upstairs, hurried down and rushed to Su Cheng, "Su Cheng, how is An An?"
When Su Cheng saw Jiang Ranran's face, his expression became unnatural again: "She is very good, but I am sorry for what happened before."
"It's all over. Take me to see An An quickly. I really miss her." Jiang Ranran's eyes were filled with tears. It was good that they didn't blame her. They were still her friends after all!
Su Cheng nodded and prepared to take Jiang Ranran to see An An.
"An An has been talking about you these days. Now that she can finally see you, she must be very happy!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
