He Miaoran drove all the way back to the apartment. In the underground parking lot, she leaned over the steering wheel, breathing softly, cold sweat on her forehead, and the clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.

Even though she was already in a safe area, He Miaoran was still frightened. When she thought of the beggar who had chased her to the entrance of the alley, her stomach felt uncomfortable and she wanted to vomit.

It took a long time for He Miaoran to recover. She picked up the bag on the passenger seat, got out of the car, and returned to her apartment.

Sitting on the sofa, He Miaoran wondered again and again, was Ye Qiang actually in that rental house? Or did the detective give her the wrong address?

If He Miaoran hadn't been frightened by a beggar who suddenly appeared from nowhere, she would not have returned home in disappointment.

He Miaoran was looking at the address on her phone with worry on her brow. When she was thinking about how to find Ye Qiang, the phone in her hand suddenly rang.

It was a call from an unfamiliar number.

He Miaoran was stunned for a second, then picked up the phone. A lady's voice came from the other end: "Hello? Is this Miaoran?"

When He Miaoran heard the voice, she felt familiar yet unfamiliar, especially when she heard the address. It took her a long time to realize that the person on the other end of the phone was Shu Manlan who had gone abroad two months ago.

Shu Manlan called both Fu Yijian and Fu Yiming, but was given a perfunctory response and hung up the phone, so she chose to call He Miaoran in a depressed mood.

He Miaoran was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered, smiled sweetly, and said, "Auntie? Have you returned to China?"

Speaking of going abroad, Shu Manlan felt a little guilty. She laughed dryly and said, "I went abroad so suddenly that I didn't tell you. So now that your uncle Fu and I have returned to China, I plan to treat you to a meal to make up for the regret at that time."

He Miaoran heard a certain word and asked doubtfully, "Is Uncle Fu back too?"

Fu Jianlin also returned to China???

This is really big news.

Moreover, in He Miaoran's heart, she was very afraid of Fu Jianlin. After all, an old fox who had been fighting in the business world for many years could see through her impure motives at a glance.

Although she was not disliked by her in-laws during the year she married Fu Yiming, He Miaoran subconsciously felt that Fu Jianlin was a very scary person.

A greater threat than Fu Yiming.

Shu Manlan didn't know what He Miaoran was thinking, so she replied, "Yes, he returned home with me, and he hasn't seen you for a long time, so come out and have a meal with us two old people."

He Miaoran rolled his eyes and said to Shu Manlan, "It's rare that Uncle Fu has returned to China, so I will definitely be the one to welcome you back."

Shu Manlan didn't expect He Miaoran to make such a suggestion, but it made her depressed mood a little better.

So she smiled and agreed: "Okay, how about we meet together in the evening?"

When He Miaoran heard Shu Manlan readily agreed, she also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go book a restaurant and pick you up when the time comes."

Shu Manlan refused and said, "No need, just send me the address and I'll ask the driver to take us there."

He Miaoran did not insist and said, "Then we'll see you then."

After hanging up the phone, a gleam of light appeared in He Miaoran's eyes. Since she couldn't find Ye Qiang for the time being, and Shu Manlan came to her in person, she would first use Shu Manlan's connections.

Time passed quickly and at six o'clock in the evening, He Miaoran dressed up carefully and arrived at the booked restaurant early.

She was wearing a dress with a coat on top, and stood at the door of the restaurant in the cold wind, waiting for the two elderly people, Fu Jianlin and Shu Manlan.

What was her intention? Didn't she just want to leave a good impression in front of the two old people?

Just when He Miaoran was getting impatient, Fu Jianlin and Shu Manlan finally showed up.

A luxury car stopped in front of the restaurant. An old man got out of the car, followed by an old lady.

He Miaoran spotted them with sharp eyes, and hurried over, with a faint smile on her face, she walked in front of Shu Manlan and the others, and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, long time no see."

Fu Jianlin glanced at her indifferently, then nodded in response.

This reaction made the smile on He Miaoran's face freeze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and turned to look at Shu Manlan.

Fortunately, Shu Manlan was not very nervous and did not notice that her husband Fu Jianlin had a bad attitude towards He Miaoran. She smiled and responded, "It's so cold, why are you waiting for us outside? Come in quickly."

He Miaoran also thought it was not appropriate to chat at the door of the restaurant, so she said to the two old people: "Look, I was too happy and forgot that we were still at the door. I have booked a room, let's go over now."

He Miaoran led the way gracefully in front, while Fu Jianlin and Shu Manlan followed behind her, arm in arm.

The moment He Miaoran turned around, the look in his eyes suddenly changed.

As expected, no matter what she did, she couldn't please Fu Jianlin, the old fox. She still had a plan to arrange, so it seemed that she had to be careful and keep it secret from Fu Jianlin.

Fu Jianlin and Shu Manlan were unaware of He Miaoran's wishful thinking.

That night, He Miaoran took care of the two elderly people generously and appropriately, and chatted with them, which made Shu Manlan very happy. Even a serious man like Fu Jianlin had a relaxed look on his tense face.

Just as the meeting was about to end, He Miaoran glanced at the expressions on their faces, and while Fu Jianlin was in the bathroom, she casually mentioned to Shu Manlan, "Auntie, have you seen Ruohuan since you returned to China?"

When Shu Manlan mentioned Ye Ruohuan, the woman who bewitched her son, she became angry and her face darkened. She said unhappily, "Why did you mention her?"

He Miaoran laughed dryly and explained, "Because not long after you went abroad, I heard that Ruohuan...had a miscarriage."

These words from He Miaoran really shocked Shu Manlan. Shu Manlan paused and forgot how to react.

After a long time, Shu Manlan came back to her senses. She asked blankly, "Is that woman really pregnant with Yi Jian's child?"

Shu Manlan was obviously unwilling to believe it, but He Miaoran deliberately mentioned the result and said embarrassedly: "But, it fell again."

He Miaoran's reminder made Shu Manlan completely sober up. Even if Ye Ruohuan had been pregnant before, and the child was Fu Yijian's, the fact now was that Ye Ruohuan had miscarried again.

The expression on Shu Manlan's face was pale and blue, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Fu Jianlin quickly returned to the box and immediately noticed Shu Manlan's mood change. She was fine before he left, but now she has a very bad face?
