Ruan Qingling said, "If only I had known how the fire suddenly started, we would have perished in the flames long ago if we hadn't run away quickly."
Nguyen Han Min remained motionless, panting heavily from exhaustion.
But the once perfectly good home is now ruined.
It would take a lot of financial resources to rebuild it.
Ruan Qingling thought he looked several years older overnight.
Ruan Hanmin said, "Stop arguing. The house is gone, but we can fix it properly. As long as everyone is alright, that's all that matters."
Ruan Dongxue, who had been terrified all night, turned deathly pale.
She cried out, "Dad, Mom, I feel so bad."
Zhao Mei seemed to snap out of her daze and said, "Damn it, I forgot to give you your medicine. Hurry up and go to Aunt Liu's house to get a bowl of water first, then take your medicine."
Ruan Qingling did not speak.
Looking at Ruan Dongxue under the streetlights outside, she clearly looked unwell.
She couldn't understand it either.
How foolish it was for Zhao Mei and Ruan Hanmin to set fire to their own house in order to take her life.
It's like killing 1,800 enemies while losing 3,000 of your own.
Even a fool would think it's not worth it.
Ruan Dongxue took the medicine, but she still felt unwell and kept crying out.
In the dim morning light, Ruan Qingling looked at Ruan Dongxue.
It seems like they ate something unclean.
They were vomiting and had diarrhea, so they even went to great lengths to do all that? Was this the perfect excuse for them to go out and search?
Isn't Zhao Mei being a bit too stingy for her second daughter?
The morning light was just beginning to shine.
Ruan Hanmin squatted on the ground, lost in thought.
His face showed a hint of pain.
Zhao Mei said in a bad tone, "I don't know what sins I've committed to deserve this."
"Everything was fine, it would have happened anytime sooner or later, but it happened today."
This was somewhat of a complaint against Ruan Qingling, because it was because Ruan Qingling came here that their house caught fire.
Ruan Qingling looked at Zhao Mei with a leisurely gaze. Wasn't it because he wanted to get rid of her that he set the fire? Now, the thief is crying "stop thief!" to whom is he trying to appease?
Ruan Dongxue cried and said, "I will have no home anymore. I will go to my second sister's place."
Her second sister is in Jingcheng now and must be doing well, so she wants to go find her and live with her.
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Zhao Mei immediately covered her mouth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Second sister is working over there. If you go over there now, you'll only cause her trouble."
Ruan Dongxue sobbed and said, "Then I'll go help my second sister with the work. I feel so bad right now. I want to lie down properly, but I don't have a bed, so I can't sleep."
Nguyen Han Min said, "There should still be room where we can lie down."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Mei scolded him: "Do you have a brain? The room is such a mess, it's smoky everywhere, how can you sleep in there? You'll suffocate!"
Burning things produces a lot of exhaust fumes, and inhaling too much of it can be bad for your health, especially since my daughter suddenly had a problem last night.
This is not a good time to take risks.
Ruan Hanmin frowned, unsure of what to do. He looked at Ruan Qingling and Song Shiting.
"It must be uncomfortable for you to be holding Yaya like this."
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "It must be painful. The fire started on our side of the outer wall. We must report this to the police tomorrow."
Ruan Hanmin looked at Zhao Mei.
Zhao Mei's eyes darted away.
Nguyen Han Min clenched his fist, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Ruan Qingling said to Song Shiting, "I really can't stay up any longer. Let's go to the guesthouse, get a room, and go to sleep."
Song Shiting nodded.
Ruan Dongxue cried out, "I want to go to the guesthouse and get a room to sleep. I want a bed, I want to lie down. I'm going to die again. I feel so uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mei became extremely anxious and said to Ruan Hanmin, "Go and get Dongxue a room."
Ruan Hanmin hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless. They all needed to rest, but he had to go to the police station at eight o'clock in the morning to explain things clearly.
He said to Ruan Qingling, "Go and rest for a while. You also need to go to the police station around 8 or 9 o'clock to explain what happened last night."
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "Of course we have to get to the bottom of what happened yesterday. If we hadn't run away quickly yesterday, we would have perished in the fire, and..."
She looked at Ruan Hanmin and said, "Our room door has been bolted shut with chopsticks. Dad, tell me, who in the family wants us to perish in the fire?"
Upon hearing this, Nguyen Han Min trembled.
His eyes unconsciously drifted towards Zhao Mei.
Zhao Mei screamed instantly: "What do you mean? Dongxue is sick, and we went out together. How can you turn around and doubt me?"
After hearing Zhao Mei's words, Ruan Hanmin also felt that there was some truth to it, but who would do this?
Ruan Qingling said quietly, "It's not easy for us to survive and get out alive. Besides the door being jammed with chopsticks, the outside door was also locked from the inside."
Ruan Hanmin frowned and explained, "We left in a hurry without notifying you, and it wouldn't be right to leave the door open, so we locked it from the inside. We were just going out to get some medicine and would be right back."
This explanation is absolutely flawless!
Ruan Qingling had been holding Ya Ya for too long, and her arms were sore. They found a guesthouse nearby, and Song Shiting carried all their belongings inside.
Here, she could get a comfortable sleep, so as soon as Ruan Qingling touched the bed with Ya Ya in her arms, she closed her eyes and fell asleep without saying a word.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were sleeping soundly, Song Shiting also lay down.
Because he didn't sleep last night either.
I slept for two hours straight.
It was already daylight.
Ruan Hanmin was going to the police station and came over to knock on the door.
Ruan Qingling was half asleep when she nudged Song Shiting next to her and muttered, "So noisy."
Just as Song Shiting narrowed his eyes, a soft hand suddenly pushed towards his chest.
He paused for a moment, then looked at Ruan Qingling beside him.
Ruan Qingling closed her eyes, but pushed him gently with her hand and said, "Go and take a look."
She wasn't fully awake, and her tone carried a lazy, coquettish quality.
To Song Shiting, it sounded like an stimulant that was constantly fueling their growing feelings.
He gently took her hand, placed it aside, and then stood up.
The door opened, and Nguyen Han Min stood outside.
Ruan Hanmin: "Where is Ah Ling?"
Song Shiting's eyes were slightly cold as he said, "Still sleeping."
Ruan Hanmin frowned and said, "It's getting late, we should go to the police station."
Song Shiting: "It's about time, let's go over there."
Nguyen Han Min: "You should remember this earlier."
Song Shiting responded with a "Mm".
Ruan Qingling had already regained consciousness when Song Shiting opened the door.
She opened her eyes just as Song Shiting returned from closing the door. As soon as he looked over, he met Ruan Qingling's gaze.
It is elegant and bright.
She asked, "Have they gone?"
