Tao Bao understood what Si Minghan meant, his heart trembled, and he struggled to resist, "Si Minghan, you can't!"
"You can cry out loud later..."
"don't want!"
"At least, you are luckier than me..."
“Hmm!”
When Tao Bao woke up, his eyes were open and he seemed to be still conscious.
It took him a while to remember what had happened to him, and his body was so stiff that he dared not move.
Because of what Si Minghan said, she didn't have the energy to think about Aunt Qiu last night.
She cried out loudly, not knowing whether it was because of the grief of losing Aunt Qiu, or because Si Minghan had no self-control!
Without looking, the room was quiet, and the area beside him was not as crowded as before, so he knew that Si Minghan was not there.
Even when this man was lying on his side, he still felt threatening.
Tao Baoqingli frowned and sat up with difficulty, feeling no comfort in her body.
Si Minghan is too cruel!
Even without checking the time, he knew it definitely wouldn't be before nine or ten, because Si Minghan wouldn't wake up that early without the noise of the little one...
There was a knock on the door, and the maid opened it and stood outside the bedroom, "Miss Tao, are you awake?"
"woke up."
"Mr. Si asked you to have lunch. Would you like to bring it to you?" asked the maid.
Tao Bao paused, thinking it was already noon... "He's out?" he asked.
"Yes, Mr. Si is out."
Tao Bao thought for a moment and said, "If you don't serve it, I'll go downstairs and eat it."
"Yes." The maid went out to check.
Tao Bao got down from the bed slowly, fearing that if he moved too quickly he would fall headfirst onto the ground.
Tao Bao sat at the dining table, looking at the table full of delicious food, a little absent-minded.
She always believed that food reflects mood, but at the moment she was not in a happy mood.
But she had to eat. For Aunt Qiu and Xiaozhi, she had to be strong...
After lunch, Tao Bao went to Aunt Qiu's room to pack her things.
Aunt Qiu didn't have much stuff, so she packed it up quickly.
It seems like something is missing...
Yes, it’s a necklace.
She gave Aunt Qiu the necklace.
Tao Bao searched in the drawer again, but couldn't find it.
Not here. I didn’t bring it with me on the day Aunt Qiu had the accident.
Did you leave it in the apartment?
Tao Bao walked out of the room, looked at Bob, and walked over, "I'm going out for a while."
"Where are you going? Do you need help?" Bob asked.
Bob knew his status and rules, and would not ask about other people's whereabouts casually. Now that he asked her, Tao Bao knew that this was definitely Si Minghan's intention.
"Let's go back to the apartment and pack Aunt Qiu's things," Tao Bao said. "Please take me there in the car."
"Hey." Bob sighed, "Miss Tao, don't be too sad. No one wants an accident like this. You must take care of yourself. Only then will Miss Qiu be at peace in her afterlife."
"I know. Thank you."
Tao Bao sat in Han Yuan's car, leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside receding, his eyes filled with emptiness.
The cell phone in the bag rang.
Tao Bao took out his cell phone, and when he saw the incoming call, he threw the phone aside and ignored it.
However, the phone kept ringing, ringing annoyingly.
Tao Bao simply pressed the button and called again.
Tao Bao answered the phone angrily, "What the hell are you doing? I don't want to answer your call, can't you see? What do you want me to do in order to let me go?"
Tao Shiming was yelled at, but he didn't get angry. "Xiaobao, I don't mean anything else. I just heard that Qiu Ciyan was in trouble. Are you still here?"
"How do you know something happened to Aunt Qiu?" Tao Bao asked suspiciously.
"Don't you know that I'm being questioned by the police?" Tao Shiming asked.
Tao Bao frowned, she didn't know what was going on.
"I had met Qiu before, so the police asked some questions."
"Why do you want to meet Aunt Qiu? What do you want to do?" Tao Bao was disgusted.
"I want her to persuade you to recognize me as your relative."
Tao Bao's voice was very cold. "I don't need your concern. Whether I am young or not is my own business. Please don't bother me anymore! And what I need most is a 'kid'!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Anger made her breath unstable.
Why does she care if someone leaves her, but she hates someone but still lingers around!
Why are you calling me to act like a nobody? You're so hypocritical!
After moving into the apartment, Tao Bao began to look for Aunt Qiu to buy the necklace.
When Aunt Qiu moved to Hanyuan, she only took away the clothes of that season, and the rest were still in the closet.
Everything is neat and tidy.
Tao Bao flipped through the pages but couldn't find Aunt Qiu's necklace.
It’s really strange, where could Aunt Qiu put the necklace?
I usually put my jewelry in a fixed box, and there was nothing in the box.
Tao Bao stood in the living room, looking towards the balcony, but didn't dare to go over.
She was afraid to think about the situation of Aunt Qiu falling down, just like when she passed by the accident scene downstairs of her apartment building and didn't dare to look.
Close your eyes, sit down on the sofa, and hold the pillow in your arms. It seems that this will give you a little sense of security.
The phone rang again.
She put her backpack at the entrance and got up to get her cell phone.
If it's Tao Shiming, just turn off the phone.
It turned out to be Si Minghan who called.
She answered, "What?"
"Where?"
"There are still Aunt Qiu's things in the apartment." Are you sure you're not asking even though you already know the answer? How could he not know this after riding in Hanyuan's car?
The driver must have told me.
Tao Bao moved towards the sofa while talking on the phone.
The pillow fell to the ground because she hadn't put it down.
"What is it?" Si Minghan's low voice came.
Tao Bao's fingers froze as he picked up the pillow, his expression frozen as a familiar scene flashed through his mind.
Si Minghan didn't hear the sound, but noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly, "Why aren't you talking?"
Tao Bao came back to his senses and said in a normal tone, "It's just Aunt Qiu's other clothes. I came to take a look... I'll be back later."
Si Minghan didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.
Tao Bao held his cell phone and stared blankly at the pillow on the ground.
He bent down again, picked it up slowly, and tried hard to recall.
That moment reminded her of the time when Si Minghan called her in the apartment.
That afternoon, she bought a necklace for Aunt Qiu and then returned to the TV station. Aunt Qiu went back to the apartment, saying that she would rest for an hour or two before picking up the children.
That day, Tao Bao returned to the apartment after get off work. Just like now, he answered Si Minghan's call while picking up the pillow on the ground.
Aunt Qiu was a very clean person. She knew exactly how clean she was. She kept everything meticulously organized and had a slight obsession with mysophobia.
So, if Aunt Qiu returned to the apartment that day, how could she have let the pillow fall to the floor?
Tao Bao felt strange at the time, but she didn't pay much attention to this detail.
Tao Bao held the pillow, looked at it from the front and back, and then looked on the pillow surface to see traces of fabric fibers being pulled.
You can't tell unless you look carefully.
She didn't remember there being such a flaw on the pillow!
There was a foam board placed in the corner, which was removed by the police during the investigation that day.
And found nothing abnormal.
But what about the pillow that fell on the ground and the scratches on it?
Plus Aunt Qiu's missing necklace...
