Chapter 372 May Each Be Well
"Mm." Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
Gu Nan nodded slightly in acknowledgment and followed behind.
Before leaving, Si Yanxiao gave Jiang Ran a meaningful look.
The room was instantly left with only the two of them. Jiang Ran and Si Youlin stared at each other in silence.
After a long silence, Si Youlin pursed his lips slightly and slowly asked, "What final decision will you make?"
Seeing that although he refused to cooperate, Jiang Ran couldn't help but care, so she quietly offered an explanation.
Hearing their mutually agreeable solution, Si Youlin felt somewhat relieved and then replied in a low voice, "That's good..."
Jiang Ran looked down at his expression, sensing something was off. She wanted to ask, but he brushed her off with a few words.
Then, making an excuse, he turned and left.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Gu Nan standing guard outside the door. A look of surprise flashed across Si Youlin's face, and he nodded slightly, calling out, "Uncle Gu Nan."
Gu Nan nodded slightly as a gesture of acknowledgment, then offered a few words of comfort. After watching him leave, she reached out and knocked on the door again.
Jiang Ran assumed that Si Youlin had returned, and said directly, "Come in!"
Gu Nan pushed open the door and entered. Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow when she saw who it was, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She then slowly asked, "Is there anything else?"
Gu Nan lowered her eyes slightly and replied in a low voice, "Don't you want to know why Ah Lin is unwilling to cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran was taken aback, not expecting there to be a hidden story. She then asked in surprise, "Why?!"
Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "When Ayan was investigating Achen's whereabouts, he got involved with Bai Zhuwei."
"Due to some special reasons, they were trapped in a cave. When they were discovered, Bai Zhuwei was bitten by a snake while trying to save Ayan. Ayan reached out to help her up, and Alin happened to see it."
"Ever since that incident, Ah Lin has become extremely distant from Ah Yan. He probably still harbors resentment about that matter, which is why he refused to cooperate this time..."
Gu Nan slowly revealed his guess, and Jiang Ran listened as he briefly recounted the general outline of the matter.
His gaze darkened slightly, but his mind was racing with thoughts.
She had been busy with Si Zuochen's affairs for some time, and Bai Zhuwei had gradually disappeared from public view, so she hadn't had time to pay attention to her.
Now, upon hearing this for the first time, I realize that there is another hidden danger here.
Then, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly let out a sneer.
Seeing this, Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly, a hint of worry flashing across her face.
He then tentatively began, "It was indeed a misunderstanding by Ah Lin. The situation was critical at the time, and Ah Yan had no choice but to..."
“I understand.” Jiang Ran interrupted him in a deep voice, her eyes slightly sharp, and then said, “Thank you for telling me these inside stories. I have my own plans.”
Seeing that she already had a plan and seemed unwilling to say more, Gu Nan slowly said, "Then I'll go take care of it first."
"Okay," Jiang Ran replied softly.
Gu Nan turned and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Jiang Ran lowered her gaze, turned her head and stared blankly out the window, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
She originally thought that it would be fine to just let things take their course, but she forgot that danger lurked everywhere and that Bai Zhuwei was watching her like a hawk.
She had imagined things to be too rosy, forgetting the fundamental nature of the matter.
According to Gu Nan, it was Ah Lin who misunderstood. But if Si Yanxiao hadn't done that, how could Ah Lin have held a grudge against him until now?
They are unwilling to even cooperate, showing no desire to coordinate whatsoever.
His expression immediately hardened, and after a moment of contemplation, he walked straight outside.
Si Yanxiao was processing the documents in his hands. The company's affairs had been put on hold for some time, and he could only deal with them during this free time.
A sudden knock came from outside the door. Si Yanxiao paused slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Come in!" Jiang Ran slowly approached. Upon seeing the person, Si Yanxiao was taken aback and quickly stopped what he was doing. He stood up and, before he could ask anything, Jiang Ran said, "Let's talk."
A hint of confusion flashed across Si Yanxiao's eyes, then he replied in a low voice, "Okay."
The two sat facing each other, a hint of tension flashing in the air. Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and she slowly said, "I noticed that Ah Lin and you seemed to have some conflict before."
She didn't mention that Gu Nan had told her what had happened, clearly not wanting to drag him into it.
Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly, a hint of struggle flashing across his face, before he softly explained, "This is a misunderstanding, I..."
Just as he was about to say something more, Jiang Ranwei reached out and interrupted him, saying in a deep voice, "I don't want to hear any more explanations. I'm here just to inform you that we should get a divorce after we find Achen."
Her tone was resolute. Si Yanxiao was taken aback when she suddenly brought up this topic.
Before he could speak, Jiang Ranfu continued, "Actually, the reason we ended up together was by chance. You and Bai Zhuwei came first, so I shouldn't have been clinging to this position."
"Leaving now might be the best option, but since our relationship is different from that of ordinary people, I still want to say something, whether you want to hear it or not."
As she spoke, she paused slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Si Yanxiao seriously. Seeing that she was implying something, Si Yanxiao lowered his brows slightly and replied in a low voice, "Go on."
"Bai Zhuwei is wicked. No matter who you are with in the future, you should avoid getting involved with her to avoid causing trouble."
She made this statement impartially, without any personal bias.
After all, to be fair, Bai Zhuwei's methods are underhanded, and all the clues about the twins' previous danger point to her, so she is probably involved in the previous events as well.
Surprisingly, Si Yanxiao didn't refute her. Instead, he readily agreed. Jiang Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she was surprised. Without thinking it over, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Si Yanxiao clenched his fists, his eyes lowered, making his expression unreadable. Just as Jiang Ran reached the door, he suddenly spoke up, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion: "Are you really... not going to reconsider?"
consider?
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Ran sensed his implication. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she slowly said, "Unfortunately, I don't like fickle men."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked away.
fickle and indecisive?
Si Yanxiao shook his head slightly to himself, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.
I never imagined that one day I would be involved with such a title.
Previously, it was merely due to circumstances that I was forced into this situation, but now I've been misunderstood and have no way to explain myself.
After all, only Bai Zhuwei knows Si Zuochen's whereabouts, and he still needs to get involved with her, just to find out more information.
He is now in a dilemma and has no one to confide in.
Just then, his phone rang abruptly. Si Yanxiao looked down at it, a flash of malice in his eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "What is it?"
Bai Zhuwei's aggrieved voice slowly came through the receiver: "I vaguely remembered some things about Achen..."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao was startled and hurriedly stood up, asking repeatedly, "What do you want to say?"
“But I want to see you…” Bai Zhuwei did not respond directly, but instead stated her request directly.
Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed, and he asked coldly, "Are you trying to negotiate with me?"
After saying that, his eyes flashed, and before Bai Zhuwei could reply, he spoke again in a cold voice: "I'll be there right away."
He hung up the phone immediately after speaking and strode outside.
After all, Bai Zhuwei is the only one in the know now, so there's no need for him to argue with her over such a trivial matter. Finding Si Zuochen's location is the key right now.
Bai Zhuwei listened to the busy tone on her phone, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked down at the bustling crowds and traffic below, a hint of coldness flashing between her brows.
She had initially pretended to be unconscious. At first, Si Yanxiao stayed by her bedside every day, but gradually he became impatient when he noticed that she hadn't woken up for a long time. He then began to investigate on his own, no longer placing his hopes on her alone.
Seeing this, she devised another plan. After reaching an agreement with Lu Ziyi, she began to feign illness and bribed the doctor, claiming that the snake venom had flowed through her body, causing memory problems in her brain.
Fortunately, it's only temporary. As time goes by, or with external stimulation, the forgotten things will gradually come back to mind.
