Wang Dujuan's only personal property was much more crude than she had imagined. It wasn't even a villa, but an ordinary residential room in the old residential area.
"This is Wang Dujuan's house?" The policemen were also surprised.
It was hard for people to understand that Wang Dujuan, who owned a huge sum of money, would actually own such a dilapidated house.
An Ruyou was also a little doubtful, "It can't be that there's a problem with the information, right?
"There's no problem with the information. Among all of Wang Dujuan's properties, only this one house does not have Min Min participating. It can be considered her only personal territory."
The technical police opened the door, and the facilities in the room surprised everyone.
"It's the same as thirty years ago. How can I return to the past like this?"
An Ruyou's heart was filled with grief, "This was Min Min and Wang Dujuan's home before, it's just that at that time Min Min was not as powerful as he is now, he was just an ordinary husband, Wang Dujuan's wife."
An Ruyou's words made everyone present fall silent.
The old pictures on the walls were still of black and white, with two vivid smiley faces. They had been in high spirits back then, wearing dark green uniforms with red flowers on their chests that they'd borrowed from a photo studio.
There were two cups of wine on the table. If the host was still there, he probably hoped that someone would sit with her and drink tea and chat with her.
There was a picture of a baby on the headboard.
There was a stuffed animal on the bed.
This was a home that Wang Dujuan had kept for herself, her former Min Min, and their lost child.
This woman was only trying to conceal her desire for her family. She had loved many people, or had never loved anyone before. They were all her dreams of the people she had lost, the shadows of whom she could cast aside when necessary.
The fact that An Ruyou was worried about was slowly coming to the surface. Wang Dujuan truly loved Wang Yihuan, which was why she refused Min Min's request for them to part.
Perhaps it was when she could leave this world that she did not know how desperate the Wang Dujuan of that instant was. The days and people she had lost, would never come back. Just like a Utopia, a mirage, there would always be a day when one could see the truth.
As for Wang Yihuan, she was the shadow of the Min Min when she was young, and she was also a child.
In the past, An Ruyou did not understand why such a greedy person like Wang Yihuan would choose to follow Wang Dujuan onto the Yellow Springs Road. Now, she understood a little, it was the feeling of home.
When An Ruyou saw the policemen take away some of Wang Dujuan's letters, it was as if she had just had a dream. The woman in his dream was still as young as a flower.
"What is this? A memory card? " When a little policeman was taking things out, he accidentally knocked over a small box on Wang Dujuan's dressing table and a bunch of black cubes fell out.
An Ruyou moved closer and used her gloved hand to pick up a card, "It's a storage card, for Wang Dujuan to be able to put them in such a secluded place, it must be something very important to her."
The operation this time was definitely worth it. He had gathered a lot of material evidence and even had an unknown memory card.
When they left, An Ruyou locked the door one last time. Before she left, she took a glance at the house, which still had the scent of its owner.
Wang Dujuan came to this room alone after every lively gathering ended. Looking at the run-down yet warm house, she danced alone in the small living room. She sat there from night until dawn, alone against the life she yearned for.
An Ruyou closed the door, unwilling to disturb this wandering soul.
Bai Keke and Qiao Ruoan stopped to eat.
"Miss, your ring is so beautiful."
Bai Keke was very happy to hear the waiter's praise, "Thank you."
Qiao Ruoan was extremely jealous. Although her wedding ring was also a diamond from the big carat, it was still inferior to Bai Keke's.
"Oh right, Big Sister An An, when are you and Big Brother Xiao Ling going to officially get married?"
"No rush, we are already engaged, marriage is just a formality."
"I wonder what your wedding ring will look like then. I'm so curious!" Did Big Brother Xiao Ling reveal anything about a family heirloom or something? The kind that's only passed on to daughter-in-law. "
Outsiders did not know about Xiao Ling's background.
Hearing Bai Keke's words, Qiao Ruoan's smile froze on his face, "There's only one mother-in-law, even if there's a heirloom, there's no way to split it. Xiao Ling's brother Xiao Yi's girlfriend, isn't he going to get married with him soon!?"
"How can that be the same, you are pregnant with the next generation of Xiao Family!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Keke, tell me about the progress of the case!"
This time, it was Bai Keke's turn to feel awkward, "I don't really want to face this matter, let Yi Huan, An An, leave quietly. Regarding his public opinion, there are too many bad things about it, rather than investigating what happened, I might as well wait for the results, I believe the police will give me a satisfactory answer."
Yes, you're right, why are you still in a dilemma? I say, Lin Zimi has something to do with this, and it was her words that provoked Wang Yihuan, that's why she committed suicide!
Bai Keke lowered his head and stirred the drink.
Qiao Ruoan didn't have any sharp eyes as he continued, "I heard that Christians think that those who commit suicide cannot enter heaven. Keke, have you heard of this before?"
Bai Keke was annoyed with both Christianity and the nuns, "They are all weird things, you shouldn't be afraid of them when you're pregnant."
"That's true, Coco Sisters is right, let's not bring it up." Qiao Ruoan was actually quite pleased with himself, as he had managed to turn the tables around.
After dinner, Bai Keke and Qiao Ruoan stood at the side of the street waiting for a carriage. For some reason, there seemed to be no empty cars here today, as all the taxis that passed by were filled with passengers. Qiao Ruoan did not want to stand there for long, "Keke, didn't you buy a car? "Why haven't I seen you drive it before?"
Bai Keke scratched his head, "I've been too busy these days, I haven't gotten my driver's license."
"Then I will call Xiao Ling to come pick us up!"
"Sure."
Qiao Ruoan took out his phone and called Xiao Ling.
"How did you do it? How could you make such a mistake in the budget?"
Xiao Ling lowered his head, as he silently endured the torrential storm that came from his father. "This was the mistake of the little king of the Budget Division."
Do you know why I always say that you are inferior to your brother? It is because you do not have any sense of responsibility as someone in a higher position than you. Your project, your plan, they are all things that the people below do, but don't you know how to check them?
The phone vibrated awkwardly in the air.
Xiao Ling did not dare to move.
"Answer it," the Xiao's father said. "I want to see if you're thinking about work every day and are dating some stupid friend."
"It's An An." Xiao Ling said.
"Hello darling, can you come over and pick me up? I'm so tired from shopping that my feet are aching."
Xiao Ling covered his mouth with his hand, "An An, I'm working right now, it's not convenient for me to leave, can you take a taxi first?"
"Is work more important or is your son more important? Why are you so confused?"
"An An, you need to be more sensible. I will call you later."
Qiao Ruoan's face was flushed red, isn't this just throwing her face in front of Bai Keke! Xiao Ling, do you want to come or not? "
"What's wrong, Sister An An?" Bai Keke went over and asked.
"He said he was busy. Men, are they all workaholics?" Qiao Ruoan laughed, he was not angry at all, she did not want to lose face in front of Bai Keke.
Xiao Ling hung up the call, seeing that Xiao's father's expression was turning even worse.
"Qiao Family's daughter really doesn't know anything. The marriage date will continue to be extended, I don't want to see this kind of ignorant daughter-in-law come into my house."
Xiao Ling became a little anxious, "But An An is already pregnant! If we don't get married soon, how can I account to the Qiao Family?"
"I don't care what you tell her, it's your doing."
"Father, didn't you say that you must get An An pregnant before you can marry me!"
Xiao's father stood still, "Last time your brother's girlfriend came to see me, she told me that modern people have to maintain their purity before marriage, so even if they can't get pregnant quickly, they can still be test tubes and babies. I feel that she is right.
Xiao Ling explained, "An An and I are already engaged, we shouldn't have any topic to discuss about self-love!"
"If you tell her to read more when she has nothing to do, your brother's girlfriend is already not bad. She is also very pure, completely different from that girl Qiao Ruoan."
"Father …"
Xiao's father interrupted Xiao Ling, "Don't say anymore, work hard to change your rotten plan!"
Xiao Ling sat down in front of the desk, "Why? Why can't I do anything better than him? How can his girlfriend change your principles in an instant?"
Returning home, Xiao Ling was not in a good mood.
Qiao Ruoan didn't want to bother with him because of what happened during the day, "Regarding the wedding, did you ask your father?"
Xiao Ling said unnaturally, "If there's any news, I will tell you."
"What do you mean 'there's no news'? I think you just forgot to tell your dad. Are you treating such an important matter as child's play?" Qiao Ruoan angrily sat on the side.
"An An, can you be more sensible? Do you know where I was when you called me in the day?!"
"I don't care where you are. With regards to the child, my problem is the most important thing, "after saying that, she sneered," You won't be at your brother's place right? "What's there to hide? Just tell him. He's going to be invited to the wedding in the future anyway."
Xiao Ling sighed, suppressing the anger in his heart, "An An, I know you feel wronged now, but we do not have enough strength to stand firmly in front of father, let's wait a little longer!"
"Stand firm on the ground, your dad wants grandson the most. What I am carrying in my mind right now, is what else can you stand steady on the ground."
Xiao Ling looked at the noisy Qiao Ruoan, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart. However, he couldn't tell her the truth, as it was the first three months of pregnancy and the most unstable period of pregnancy. If he let Qiao Ruoan know that his father had suddenly changed his mind, she would definitely fly into a rage. It was better to avoid trouble.
Qiao Ruoan was so angry that he ignored Xiao Ling.
"An An, don't be mad, come and eat your meal. You should be replenishing your nutrition right now."
