Zhao Ningchu returned home and did not see Gu Ran at home.
Ji Xiuran couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw her walking upstairs and downstairs.
"What are you looking for? Be careful, you are pregnant with a child."
"Where's Ran Ran? She didn't answer my call when I called her. I'm a little worried that something happened to her."
Ji Xiuran looked unhappy and said: "She is such a big person, what are you worried about? Maybe she went out to relax by herself!"
Zhao Ningchu sighed: "She must feel uncomfortable knowing that Su Yang is engaged today."
"There's nothing we can do about it, everyone is already engaged!"
Zhao Ningchu rolled her eyes at him: "Can't you say something nice?"
Ji Xiuran looked innocent: "Are you cruel to me?"
Zhao Ningchu:......
Ji Xiuran said aggrievedly: "You always quarrel with me because of Gu Ran, right?"
Zhao Ningchu was quite speechless.
"Where did I quarrel with you?"
"Did you hurt me just now?"
'I didn't, don't talk nonsense.'
Ji Xiuran reached out and held Zhao Ningchu's hand: "What I said is right. I know you are worried about her and feel sorry for her, but this is someone else's private relationship. What can you do?"
"Su Yang told me just now that he still likes Ran Ran."
"So what? Isn't he already engaged? You have also heard that they will leave the country in two days, and they still don't know when they will come back?"
"But don't you think it's cruel for two people who love each other to separate? What's more, Ran Ran is now pregnant with Su Yang's child."
"Have you told Su Yang about the child?"
"No, it's not my place to say this kind of thing."
"Don't worry about it. You should worry more about your husband and son."
Zhao Ningchu took a deep breath, thought for a moment and said, "I'm just worried that she won't be able to think about it!"
"Don't worry! Gu Ran is much stronger than you."
Zhao Ningchu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Ji Xiuran continued: "Don't you want to take a lunch break? You go and take a nap first. Maybe Gu Ran will be back when you wake up?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded slightly: "Yes!"
Ji Xiuran was about to speak when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket rang.
He looked at the note and saw that it was Xie Yu calling.
Ji Xiuran answered the phone: "Tell me!"
Not sure what Xie Yu said, Ji Xiuran glanced at Zhao Ningchu and then said calmly: "I'll get back to you later, it's not convenient for me right now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Zhao Ningchu saw that Ji Xiuran's expression was not very good, and couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong? Whose phone number is it?"
"This is from Xie Yu."
"Did something happen to the company?"
"No, don't worry, go and rest, I'll be at home with you today."
"Are you sure it's not the company's business?"
Ji Xiuran shook his head: "No, why are you worrying so blindly like my old mother?"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he immediately became unhappy.
"You dislike me?"
Ji Xiuran:......
"No, don't think too much. It's too late for me to dislike you. How can I dislike you?"
"Then you just..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran came over and blocked Zhao Ningchu's mouth with his mouth.
Suddenly, my ears became quiet.
Ji Xiuran kissed her for a while, then let go of her: "Go to sleep, I'll be with you at home!"
Zhao Ningchu's cheeks were slightly warm and he nodded shyly.
Ji Xiuran led Zhao Ningchu to the bedroom. After seeing the person lying on the bed, he covered her with a quilt and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
"Go to sleep, I'll be in the study."
Zhao Ningchu hummed and closed his eyes.
The moment Ji Xiuran walked out of the bedroom, the smile on his face disappeared.
He came to the study with a gloomy face, took out his mobile phone and dialed Xie Yu's number.
The phone rang twice and was answered.
"Hey, Mr. Ji!"
Ji Xiuran sat on the chair and said calmly: "Tell me, what's going on."
"Zhao Zhenguo is dead."
Ji Xiuran froze, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Dead? Didn't they say everything was fine before?"
"I called over there this morning, but they didn't come to rescue me. He died."
dead.
how so?
For a moment, Ji Xiuran was a little panicked.
All that comes to mind are what Zhao Ningchu said to him. If Zhao Ningchu knew about it, he would be so sad and disappointed with himself.
"Mr. Ji, what should we do now?"
Xie Yu waited for a long time, but when he didn't hear Ji Xiuran speak, he continued: "Mr. Ji!"
Ji Xiuran came to his senses: "What?"
"What should I do? Should I tell my wife?"
'I will tell her about this!'
For the whole afternoon, Ji Xiuran sat in the study without going out.
All he was thinking about was how to tell Zhao Ningchu about this.
He had calculated everything, but he never expected that Zhao Zhenguo would commit suicide.
He exhaled heavily, leaned on the back of the chair, stretched out his hand to pinch the center of his brow, and it took several minutes before he regained consciousness.
Ji Xiuran got up and went to the bedroom, just in time to see Zhao Ningchu sitting on the bed, still a little confused.
He walked forward, reached out and rubbed her hair: "When did you wake up?"
Zhao Ningchu looked up at him in confusion, and it took him a long time to speak: "Ji Xiuran!"
Perhaps because he had just woken up, Zhao Ningchu's voice still had a strong nasal sound.
It sounds soft and chewy.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Xiuran sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her lovingly.
"I just had a dream."
'What did you dream about?'
"I dreamed about my dad!"
Ji Xiuran's hand froze for a moment and he said nothing.
Zhao Ningchu continued: "I dreamed that my dad said goodbye to me and said he was leaving."
"Achu..."
Zhao Ningchu looked at him: "I asked him where he was going and he didn't say anything, he just said he was leaving. It's so strange, it feels so real."
"This is a dream!"
'I know it's a dream, but it always feels very real. By the way, is Ranran back?'
Ji Xiuran shook his head.
When Zhao Ning first saw this, she began to worry.
"I haven't come back after so long. Did something happen? Something must have happened!"
The more he talked, the more worried Zhao Ningchu became.
When Ji Xiuran saw this, he quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, maybe he's back!"
"Aren't you always at home?"
"I have been in the study in the afternoon, so I didn't pay attention. Don't worry."
"Then I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, I have to get out of bed.
Zhao Ningchu came directly downstairs. Xiaobai had already finished school, and the nanny was now in the kitchen making dinner.
"Aunt Chen, have you seen Ran Ran come back?"
"I didn't see it when I came back! What happened?"
"It's okay, I'll go to her room and have a look!"
I came to Gu Ran's bedroom only after looking for you. I didn't find anyone, and I was very worried.
"Ji Xiuran, she didn't come back!"
When Zhao Ningchu spoke, her voice was trembling, which showed how worried she was.
'Don't panic, I want to call her and see!"
"Yes, call!"
She quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Gu Ran's number, but no one answered the call.
Zhao Ningchu called several times, but no one answered.
She murmured: "Is there something wrong?"
"No, maybe you are in a bad mood, so why don't you go out for a walk?"
"But why doesn't she answer my call? I'm very worried about this."
Ji Xiuran looked at his wife's bewildered look and comforted her softly: "Calm down, she will be fine."
"Ji Xiuran, Xia Chengan is not here today, right? Do you think it is Xia Chengan?"
Ji Xiuran didn't frown when he heard this: "How is that possible? He doesn't have the guts."
Zhao Ningchu shook his head: "No, you don't know him at all. Ran Ran told me that Xia Chengan is not normal at all. You see, he is not here on such an important day today.
He must have been at home and took Ran Ran away while we were not at home."
The more he talked, the more worried Zhao Ningchu became.
She grabbed Ji Xiuran's hand in panic: "You think of a way and help me find someone quickly, go find Xia Chengan!"
While talking, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Xia Chengan's number.
…
Suburban villa.
After Xia Chengan found out that Gu Ran was really pregnant, he was completely confused.
He locked Gu Ran in the bedroom and himself in the study.
He needs to calm down and think about what to do with Gu Ran in the future.
After thinking for an entire afternoon, Xia Chengan appeared in front of Gu Ran.
Xia Chengan looked down at the unresponsive girl lying on the bed. After a long time, he spoke.
"Ran Ran."
Gu Ran ignored her and just stared at the ceiling.
"Xia Chengan, when will you let me leave here?"
"You just want to leave and reunite with Su Yang's family of three, right?"
'yes!'
With one word, Xia Chengan went completely crazy.
He leaned over, pinched Gu Ran's cheek, looked at her with scarlet eyes, and asked word for word: "Why do you, how dare you carry someone else's child."
Gu Ran looked directly into his eyes without fear and said incoherently: "I am willing, you have nothing to do with it."
Xia Chengan yelled frantically.
Gu Ran looked at her crazy look and was so scared that her whole body was as stiff as a stone.
She just looked at Xia Chengan for a moment.
Xia Chengan suddenly let go of her cheek, pulled away the quilt, and his eyes fell on Gu Ran's belly.
The next second, his hand reached towards Gu Ran's belly.
Gu Ran wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Xia Chengan's big hand was placed on Gu Ran's abdomen.
This time, Gu Ran could no longer be strong.
She sat up suddenly, avoiding Xia Chengan's touch, and looked at him warily.
"what you up to?"
"Ran Ran, how about you don't want this child anymore?"
When Gu Ran heard this, her pupils shrank slightly and she subconsciously shrank her body back.
"Xia Chengan, you, what do you want to do?"
'After you have the baby, I will still love you and we will still be fine!'
"Don't even think about it. Who cares about you loving me? Please let me go back immediately."
"You don't care?"
Xia Chengan repeated something in a low voice, and after finishing speaking, he laughed out loud.
"Hehehe!"
Listening to his smile, Gu Ran felt a little scared in her heart.
She quickly got off the other side of the bed and ran directly towards the door.
Xia Chengan just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, watching Gu Ran banging on the door frantically, and listening to her cursing herself out of anger.
Not only was Xia Chengan not angry, but he felt that Gu Ran was very alive like this, just like he was five years ago, with inexhaustible energy.
"Ran Ran, you're tired, come here and take a rest."
Xia Chengan spoke softly.
Gu Ran squatted on the ground, covered her face and cried loudly.
Xia Chengan stood up, walked to Gu Ran step by step, squatted beside her, stretched out his hands and hugged her into his arms.
"Why are you crying? We will have children in the future. I will arrange for the doctor to come over tomorrow. Let's not let this child go, okay?"
Every word Xia Chengan said was so gentle, but when it reached Gu Ran's ears, it made the hairs on her body stand up.
She once again experienced the terror and perversion of this man.
Gu Ran reached out and grabbed Xia Chengan's clothes, crying and begging: "Xia Chengan, please, let me go. I promise you, I will not look for Su Yang or appear in front of you in the future. Just let me go."
Get over me."
Xia Chengan saw the girl begging him with tears on her face, and then reached out to gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
'Stop crying, your eyes are red from crying.'
"Let me go!"
"Fool, isn't it good for me to be together? I love you so much, I will be kind to you and make it up to you!"
When Gu Ran heard this, her heart suddenly became cold.
She stretched out her hand and wiped her cheek carelessly, then said with a cold face: "So you're not going to let me go, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chengan's cell phone rang.
Xia Chengan took out his phone and took a look at the notes.
When Gu Ran saw the call from Ji Xiuran, she became excited and reached out to grab the phone, but Xia Chengan easily avoided it.
He raised his lips and smiled: "What? My uncle called, and you think someone is here to help you?"
'Give me your phone!'
'Want to answer the phone?'
Gu Ran took a breath and shut up without speaking.
The next second, Xia Chengan pushed the person behind the door, then reached out to cover Gu Ran's mouth, and answered the phone in front of her.
'Hey, uncle!'
"Where are you now?"
Gu Ran struggled to speak, but her mouth was blocked by Xia Chengan, and she couldn't speak at all.
Xia Chengan glanced at Gu Ran, telling her to behave, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, has something happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ningchu's questioning voice came from over there: "Xia Chengan, did you take Ran Ran away again?"
When Gu Ran heard Zhao Ningchu's words, she became excited.
Woo woo woo...
She struggled to break away from Xia Chengan's control and wanted to make a sound, but Xia Chengan covered her so tightly that she couldn't make any sound at all.
She could only stare wide-eyed, bang her head against the door, and make a little noise, hoping that Zhao Ningchu could hear it.
Xia Chengan pushed Gu Ran's head away hard to prevent her from hitting her. He leaned close to her ear and threatened in a low voice: "Stop irritating me, you can't afford the consequences."
Sure enough, after Gu Ran heard these words, she immediately calmed down.
Xia Chengan smiled with satisfaction and spoke into the microphone: "Little aunt, don't talk nonsense!"
When Zhao Ningchu heard his careless tone, she immediately felt angry.
"Xia Cheng'an, stop pretending to me, it must be you, otherwise why would Ran Ran disappear? I tell you, if there is anything wrong with Ran Ran, I will not let you go."
When Xia Chengan heard this, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Almost every time, if Zhao Ningchu hadn't intervened, he would have been with Gu Ran.
"For my uncle's sake, I respect you and call you aunt. Without my uncle, you are nothing. Don't threaten me in front of me.
Also, whether you believe it or not, I am not with Gu Ran. If you don’t believe it, go and investigate and see if I lied."
When Zhao Ningchu heard what Xia Chengan said, he hesitated: "It really has nothing to do with you?"
Xia Chengan sighed and said a little aggrievedly: "Little aunt, I made it clear to you last time. I won't pester Ran Ran anymore. She doesn't like me. It's useless no matter what I do. Why bother recruiting her?"
Where do people hate?”
When Zhao Ning first heard this, she felt a little guilty.
She shouldn't have looked at Xia Chengan with her glasses on. She was just too anxious, so she said those hurtful words.
Zhao Ningchu was about to apologize when she suddenly heard Xia Chengan hiss. The next second, she heard the girl's cry for help: "Ah Chu, please save me...!"
