"What are you going to do now?" Jian Yiling took a seat on the chair near the bed.
Ran Xueyi didn't take away her gaze from her son's adorable and small face, but she still gave her best friend an answer. "I don't know..."
"What do you mean you don't know? What did your husband say?"
Ran Xueyi shook her head.
In the past two years she stayed in Ren Country, she and Song Yu Han remained in constant contact with each other. Neither wanted to keep distance and wanted to continue their relationship albeit being far away from each other.
However, this half year that passed, Song Yu Han's communication with her was almost nonexistent with him not replying to her messages nor answering her calls. Eventually, she was also preoccupied with her shooting and couldn't check whether he replied or called her.
Ran Xueyi had full trust in Song Yu Han and didn't think too much into it. What worried her the most was that something big and difficult happened to him and thus, he was unable to contact her.
"Let's talk about this later." Ran Xueyi brushed off the topic and headed to another matter to talk about. "I heard that you're going to meet the president of Alecan Group? Isn't that man known for being a casanova?"
Hearing this, Jian Yiling's expression changed.
She scoffed and shrugged, "I also heard this. Erik Alecan has too many mistresses by his side. I heard that he still keeps other women and sleeps with them outside of his mansion. Heck, I bet he could fill the river with all the tears and bodies of these women he ended up hooking up with."
Jian Yiling saw the little one in the bed move slightly and lowered her voice, "But that's not the point. I need to meet him because his father's condition isn't going very well. As the only child of the Alecan Group, Erik will inevitably become the heir and leader of the group."
Ran Xueyi turned silent while Jian Yiling showed a disgusted expression on her face.
When Ran Xueyi started to live in Ren Country, the mystery that shrouded around Jian Yiling was soon exposed. Jian Yiling wasn't living a very peaceful life either. However, unlike Ran Xueyi, who lived inside the gilded cage that her parents created for her and had to work her way up but still failed to protect the people important to her, Jian Yiling grew up stronger than anybody. She was not only trained to be ruthless and merciless, she was a leader of an underground organization that many feared.
Basically, she came from the Underworld, a place where all bigshots wanted to enter but it wasn't easy to get inside it. It was a world deemed unruly and no laws restrained anybody.
Jian Yiling's disappearance in the past was also connected to this so Ran Xueyi's guilt for blocking her as friends minimized a bit. Her conscience for leaving her best friend behind and blocking her contact due to Yang Baihua and Ran Yue's words ate her heart away, chipping away a part of her and wanted to live in pain for losing such a great friend. However, now that she found out that it wasn't because of her that Jian Yiling disappeared, she somewhat felt a bit at ease
Ran Xueyi still blamed herself for doing that to the friend who has been there for her, but she couldn't live in the past forever. This time, she wanted to help her friend.
"Should I go in your stead?" Ran Xueyi asked.
Jian Yiling laughed and waved her hand to gesture that it was not needed. "If you go, Erik will only go more unruly than he already did. With your beautiful face, no man could possibly refuse and let you go. And once he finds out that you're also an international award-winning actress, I bet Erik would go crazy and do something dangerous to you."
Ran Xueyi also thought about it. Erik could truly do some tricks. If not, how could he possibly get so many women to sleep with? He probably used dr*gs and other tricks to make them willing to follow him. Naturally, he also has money and the looks to grab any women he wanted, but not every women were stupid enough to get involved with Erik Alecan, a man who would torture his women.
There were several revolting rumors surrounding him and everyone in Ren Country heard about it a long time ago. However, the Alecan family has a considerable amount of influence there and so, nobody said anything.
Ran Xueyi said, "But I still want to go... With the two of us, I can worry less for you. I also don't think Erik could be so brazen enough that he would do anything to any of us while in that party. Besides, I could snoop around while using my identity as an actress."
Jian Yiling tapped the table with the tip of her finger for a few seconds, seemingly thinking deeply before she nodded.
Having Ran Xueyi by her side was certainly a good choice. The two of them could work together again like before and gain more benefit by doing it together.
"Alright, but be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you before you return to Flower Country. I don't want that man to come and demand my life for yours," Jian Yiling seriously said this. The two of them knew exactly who she was talking about.
Ran Xueyi fell silent again upon hearing the last bit of her words. Song Yu Han, where could he be now? What was he doing? And why did he not contact her for half a year? Ran Xueyi didn't dwell into her thoughts anymore, fearing that she would think of something horrible and make her only worry to death.
That man told her to wait and so, she will wait.
But if he still doesn't show up, she naturally won't wait and look for him.
