He Chengyu saw that An Ruyou's mood seemed to be slightly downcast, and thought that she was feeling sad about what happened to Qiao Ruoyou, so she quietly sat beside her.
Maybe Xiao Ling and Qiao Ruoan were just here to pass the time, so they didn't know that this movie was about the kidnapping of the girl. The girl in the movie was kidnapped, but when everyone was certain that the child had died, her parents didn't give up, and in the end, they found the girl and reunited.
He Chengyu looked at the dazed An Ruyou, "What happened to you? Are you not feeling well? "
An Ruyou nodded his head, "Sorry, I won't be able to watch a movie with you today." With that, she turned to leave.
He Chengyu threw the melted ice cream into the trash can, "Let's go, I'll send you."
An Ruyou didn't even have the strength to push it off as she followed He Chengyu out of the cinema.
It was drizzling rain, so An Ruyou stood at the door and extended her arm.
The droplets made his body feel itchy and cold, and made him feel like he was alive. The smell of earth in the air reminded her of the day she was buried.
Suddenly, the coolness on his arm disappeared.
He opened his eyes and saw He Chengyu holding onto an umbrella, "Don't get wet, you'll catch a cold."
He Chengyu pulled An Ruyou's arm, brought her to the front passenger seat and walked around the back of the carriage.
With the air conditioner on, An Ruyou felt warm inside the car, the cool air she brought out from the movie seemed to have dissipated.
"Ruan, why are you like this?"
An Ruyou smiled powerlessly at He Chengyu, "I'm probably disappointed!"
"Disappointed?" He Chengyu was a little confused.
An Ruyou had no choice but to explain, "Qiao Ruoyou and I are really good friends, to leave her is like losing another person in this world."
He Chengyu muttered to himself for a while, "I kind of understand what you're saying now, I really deserve to be kidnapped."
An Ruyou looked out the window, "Perhaps, the kidnappers aren't the only ones who deserve to die."
"What do you mean?"
"Gen Ho, have you never thought about it? They first said that Qiao Ruoyou was kidnapped because of a dispute at work, and then said that the company did not have the money to fork out the money, and did not call the police. When Qiao Ruoyou was alive, he was only a lowly clerk who started out as a clerk.
He Chengyu said, "Seems like there is some sort of secret behind this matter, if the truth were to be revealed, it would count as an explanation for the dead Qiao Ruoyou."
An Ruyou lowered her head, "What I want is not an explanation, but rather, it is why I want to die.
A teardrop silently fell down.
He Chengyu, who was driving, saw from the corner of his eyes that An Ruyou was crying while covering her face. He reached to turn on the audio system, and the gentle music covered her uncontrollable sobbing. When he first saw An Ruyou, he felt that this girl was someone he would have to spend his entire life to read. When he first looked at her eyes, the emotion he felt was like a pool of deep water.
He could not walk into her sorrow, so he chose to silently guard it.
When they arrived at the An family villa, An Ruyou had already sorted out her emotions. She said to He Chengyu, "Thank you for sending me back."
Xiao Ling looked around, trying to figure out what he should do before the start of the movie.
Qiao Ruoan stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth, then turned and asked Xiao Ling, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Ling smiled at her, "Why haven't Gen Ho come in?"
Then the lights went out in the cinema and the title of the film began to appear on the screen.
Qiao Ruoan did not see it, and could only turn his head to say, "Maybe he is sitting in a corner, you cannot see him!"
Xiao Ling wanted to argue with her, but he felt that it was meaningless, so he didn't say anything and focused on watching the movie.
An Ruyou was in a bad mood, she just wanted to quickly go to the bathroom to take a shower, and then lie on the bed to sleep. When she entered the door, she saw a person sitting on the sofa — — Bai Keke, as if waiting for someone, and this person was most likely An Ruyou.
An Ruyou was unwilling to waste words with her, so she decided to leave quietly.
"Elder sister is back, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
An Ruyou forced a smile, "Keke, why aren't you going to rest? What are you waiting for me to do?"
Bai Keke said, "I have something to ask elder sister, I heard that your project site was filled with fish wire, I was truly scared to death, luckily it had turned into a safe place, if it hurt someone, the consequences would be disastrous."
When An Ruyou thought about it, Bai Keke had always been indifferent to the affairs of the company, and was more interested in spending money than projects. It most likely meant that this matter was related to Bai Keke, but he could not show any suspicion towards Bai Keke on the surface, "That's right Keke, this fishing line is extremely sharp and hard to break."
"Then how did sister find out there was a problem?"
When An Ruyou heard her question, she could already guess what she was thinking. Furthermore, Bai Keke had seen through the monitoring system at the scene, so there was no Bai Keke at all, which meant that she was at least one of the participants in the incident. Thinking of this, An Ruyou purposely said, "I'm not some immortal god that knows of doom, but there were people who told me that it was absurd before.
Bai Keke's brows jumped, "So that's how it is, then with God's help, who told you?"
An Ruyou said, "I don't know him either, it's anonymous."
Hearing An Ruyou's words, Bai Keke became even more nervous, he stood up and said, "I suddenly remember that someone asked me to go online to play games, I'm leaving now, big sister."
"Mhmm Keke, go to bed early after you're done playing!"
Bai Keke nodded and left in a hurry.
An Ruyou stood in place, looking at Bai Keke's flustered appearance, she was practically laughing out loud, "What kind of show is this!?"
While Bai Keke was still annoyed, he sent another message, "Why do you still need to return the money? Why do I remember to return the 5 million already?" She was at the end of his wits after paying the previous amount of money. If he continued to return the money now, she really couldn't afford to spend anymore.
A person who had borrowed money from him said, "Why did you ask me to return the money? Didn't I already return 5 million?!"
It seemed that they were having fun over there, and the environment was unusually noisy. "Miss, we are not charities, so you have to pay us back some of the interest!"
"How much interest is left?"
The man stammered, "Look, I'm not in the company either. Can I help check for you when I go to work tomorrow?"
Although Bai Keke was angry, he had no other choice at the moment. He could only say, "Alright, remember to contact me tomorrow."
"Alright, I won't forget."
Bai Keke sat in front of his desk alone and carefully thought over what An Ruyou had said just now, "Could it be that the mysterious person or the Xiao Zhang who is as cowardly as a mouse is really a double agent, which is why he was able to warn An Ruyou in advance? This matter is only known to the three of us, so I definitely won't say it myself. Mysterious person? Or Xiao Zhang? "
All of this was like a piece of chewing gum that was accidentally swallowed. It was stuck in Bai Keke's throat and made him unable to breathe.
Bai Keke was usually a person who caused trouble every once in a while, and would give An Ruyou a headache every once in a while, but in the past, it was only for the sake of hurting An Ruyou. An Ruyou never would have thought that this time, he would actually start to ignore other people's lives, and cause harm to others without benefit, which made An Ruyou very sad, previously, Bai Keke was only doing things to hurt her, but now he could actually make use of others to hurt An Ruyou.
If she had not seen the scary facts in the morning in her illusion world, An Ruyou would have been unable to turn over this time. The high altitude fishing line was extremely destructive to entertainment facilities, and there was no guarantee that more people on the cable car would be seriously injured. Compensation, pension funds, even the entire An clan would fall due to this. It was not scary to pay a large amount of money, but what was scary was to lose the trust of the public. A company that the public no longer believed in would always find it hard to move an inch.
"Bai Keke, let's see how far you can go."
An Ruyou lied down and looked at the ceiling. When she met Xiao Ling today, she originally thought that she was calm enough, and wouldn't lose her composure in front of them, and wouldn't reveal the slightest hint of sadness. However, it was still impossible for An Ruyou.
She thought about the boy she met at the bar earlier, "Impossible, he must be Xiao Ling's child. Otherwise, Xiao Family would also not agree, I must be overthinking things."
When he thought of them, he then thought of Qiao Ruoyou who was lying in the mausoleum garden, "You, ah, are just too pitiful. Look at me, isn't I still alive and well? Only you, alone lying in the ice-cold soil, slowly being forgotten by the people, until no one remembers that there was still a person called Qiao Ruoyou who existed in this world, and was cruelly killed by him and Qiao Ruoan. "
The sadness in his heart was like the darkness outside the window. No matter how hard he struggled, it was as though he couldn't wait until dawn.
On this day, Bai Keke and An Ruyou could no longer sleep.
Bai Keke was unable to fall asleep, so he picked up his phone and played with it, sneaking into his blanket to search the room, his fingers quickly typed out three words: Wang Yihuan.
The gossip about him was fading, not because people had found it out, but because people he had known before didn't want to be in the news with the dead. Thanks to them, the rest of the news seemed a useless propaganda.
Bai Keke covered his mouth, his nose was sour, tears fell down, falling onto the phone screen, blurring Wang Yihuan's appearance.
He who has not been able to properly bid farewell, love seems to stay in that moment, knowing the truth, also not hysterically struggling, break up? It was something that he would never be able to accomplish.
These days, Bai Keke would often think back to the times when he was in a relationship with Wang Yihuan. Suddenly, from an outsider's point of view, it looked really funny, but no matter how laughable it was, once he laughed, he ended up with tears. Bai Keke didn't want to lie to him, maybe Wang Yihuan was the best person she had met in his life, but now that she had gotten the truth, he had a very comfortable feeling. Initially, he had always felt that he wasn't worthy of Wang Yihuan, but now, it seemed that feeling was gone. It was only a lie anyway, so maybe Wang Yihuan had never treated Bai Keke sincerely before, so he didn't mind whether she was good or bad.
