Guan Youyou followed closely behind, and just as she was about to catch up to Guan Zhengyuan and stop him, she was stopped by a crowd of spectators who were talking at the same time about her mother's murder and how she had been a thief for eighteen years.
Guan Youyou was so anxious that she started to stomp her feet. She frowned as she stood on her tiptoes to look through the heads at Guan Zhengyuan's back.
Guan Youyou stared angrily at the chattering crowd and thought, who cares about others this much? How could there be someone who could come up with such a grand excuse to satisfy his gossips?
Seeing them acting this way, Guan Youyou seemed to understand something. She turned around and saw Lu Yiming standing behind her, his face filled with gloom. Hahaha, it seems like these people still need to be treated by the cold-looking Pei Ming in order to let them know what it means to be a human and what the rules are.
Looking at the dazed Guan Youyou, the coldness in his eyes suddenly turned gentle, "I'll go chase after him with you."
Ah! He was so immersed in lament at the aura of Lu Yiming that he almost forgot to chase after Guan Zhengyuan.
Guan Youyou immediately pulled on Lu Zhu's wrist, and dragged him outside.
The surrounding people did not dare to stop them like they did just now. They all timidly moved out of the way.
… ….
Among the gossiping crowd, there was a person who stood out from the crowd. Her small face was pale and her eyes were empty. A mixture of resentment and restraint appeared in her eyes.
Of course she was Guan Qiqi. Just now, when Lu Yiming sued Lin Wanyi, she had been sitting there motionlessly, not saying a word. She was so nervous that her heart had reached her throat. If this had happened in the past, she would never have thought that the Jubilee that she had longed for would actually confront her mother like this. Instead, it was the judge who declared Lin Wanyi as guilty. She was sentenced to 28 years of imprisonment, and to Guan Qiqi, this was like a bolt from the blue.
In that moment, she felt that she couldn't forgive Guan Youyou no matter what. Even if she was taking revenge for her own mother, Guan Qiqi couldn't put herself from her perspective and place herself in Guan Youyou's place. She only knew that the confidence she had built up with great difficulty to reconcile with Guan Youyou had collapsed once again …
She wanted to catch up with Guan Youyou and argue with him. Although she knew that she didn't have any reason to blame him, she still couldn't forgive her for denying that Lin Wanyi had raised her for the past eighteen years.
Just as she chased them out, she saw Guan Youyou and Pei Ming got into a car and sped away. Guan Qiqi ran as if her life was on the line as she chased after her, but how could her two legs outrun four wheels?
Seeing the car go further and further away, she stopped, panting. Her face flushed red, because she had used too much strength and was unable to recover any strength. Unexpectedly, her vision went dark and she fell down.
… ….
However, how could the ground be so warm and soft?
When Guan Qiqi recovered her wits, she slightly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Haoran's pretty face. Her face blushed a little, and she stood up steadily by herself while feeling shy: "Why are you here?"
"I saw the trial on the internet today and it caused quite a stir. I already know what happened, so I came to take a look."
"Yes." Guan Qiqi lowered her head and did not say a word.
"When I just arrived, I saw Young Master Lu and Guan Youyou anxiously sitting in the car, chasing after a black Mercedes-Benz in front of them. The license plate number seems to be 666 or something …"
Guan Qiqi's eyes widened, wasn't this her father's car? Why were they chasing Dad?
Jiang Haoran saw her doubt and immediately said: "Looking at them, I knew something was wrong." He paused, and then continued with some pride: "Then I saw you foolishly chasing their car, so I sent my driver after it."
He held his head up like a little boy waiting to be praised, a little childish and a little cute.
Guan Qiqi couldn't help but tiptoe and leave a kiss on his cheek.
Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, as though he had been electrocuted. He stood there stiffly, not because he was excited or moved, but because this was the first time he was suddenly kissed by a girl, and it was also the first time he felt awkward in front of everyone.
In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Haoran immediately walked over to the side of the road and hailed a taxi. With one hand, he called Guan Qiqi to get in the car and the other hand picked up his phone to make a call to his ear.
"Hey, where are we?" Jiang Haoran asked the driver of Lu Lun Ming's car.
The other answered, "Evergrande."
"Well, to Evergrande." Jiang Haoran ended the call and called Taxi driver.
Guan Qiqi felt that it was strange when she heard this name. Why would Dad go to that remote seaside building? I heard that because houses can't be sold, prices drop again and again.
… ….
On the artificial beach of Evergrande Venice.
Guan Youyou tiptoed and followed Guan Zhengyuan, who was disguised as a boy. Pei Zi Ming followed closely behind her.
They were one in front and one in back. The person in front was bent over, sticking his head out and looking around like a chick that was being eaten. The people behind had sharp eyes, with their hands in their pockets. Their faces were solemn, just like an eagle ready for battle.
At this moment, the scene played out by the two of them wasn't about the eagle catching the chick, but rather about the eagle protecting the chick. If one were to look at it from a distance, one would definitely be unable to restrain their laughter.
Guan Youyou and the rest followed Guan Zhengyuan and entered a small building. Just as they reached the door, they saw Guan Zhengyuan enter the elevator. In truth, she had wanted to call out to Guan Zhengyuan, but she had a faint feeling that he had some sort of conspiracy or secret behind him. If she called for him now, it would be impossible to find out.
Then what do we do? We're going to lose them!
Guan Youyou was so conflicted that her small hands were trembling in front of her chest.
About half a minute passed, and Pei Ming pulled Guan Youyou into the elevator. He reached out his hand and pressed the button on the 21st floor.
Guan Youyou blinked her small eyes at him in puzzlement. "How do you know it's Level 21?"
Pei Ming sighed and said, "Just now, the numbers on the elevator stopped on this floor."
Guan Youyou immediately exclaimed: "Wow, your eyesight is really good, I didn't even see it."
In fact, it wasn't that she couldn't see, it was just that she didn't expect it … Such a simple matter, she actually did not expect it. Guan Youyou felt that it was shameful, and could only explain herself in such a manner.
Pei Ming looked at her with an expression as if he had already seen through her. His eyes were filled with helplessness and affection. This little idiot really couldn't do without him.
… ….
The elevator stopped on the 21st floor.
There was only one family on this floor, and the house's door was tightly shut. It looked like Guan Zhengyuan had entered.
However, what was he planning to do by sneaking here alone? Could it be that he had cheated as well? Was he hiding a beauty here? Guan Youyou couldn't wrap her head around it, she turned and looked at Lu Lengming pitifully, her eyes filled with anticipation and playfulness.
Pei Ming immediately understood what she meant. He called the driver downstairs and said, "Get up to the 21st floor of Building 8."
Soon, the driver arrived.
Pei Ming pulled Guan Youyou to the side and hid himself from. After confirming that the cat's eye could not see them, he said to the driver, "Knock on the door and say it's a property. If the gas is leaked, we have to check it."
The driver did as he was told. Guan Zhengyuan opened the door suspiciously, and just as he was about to question the driver, Pei Ming, who suddenly appeared at the side, blocked the door.
When he saw Guan Youyou and Pu Zi Ming, his eyes were filled with fear. He immediately reacted and wanted to close the door, but Pu Zi Ming was too strong, so Guan Zhengyuan had no chance of resisting. Just like that, Lu Yiming and Guan Youyou entered the door.
Without waiting for the door to close, Guan Youyou rushed into the house in a hurry and looked around. She quickly walked up to stop her.
But it was too late.
What appeared in front of him was a spirit tablet and a huge freezer.
Unexpectedly, the spirit tablet had Zhou Wan's name written on it!
Her picture was still taped to it.
When Guan Youyou saw this scene, her entire person's expression became distorted. She looked at Guan Zhengyuan in puzzlement, and a terrifying thought formed in her mind.
Could it be … Inside the freezer. Acting …
Guan Youyou immediately took a step forward, and Lu Yiming, who was behind her, quickly reacted, and went forward to hug her from the waist up.
However, it was already too late … Guan Youyou saw a coffin in the freezer …
Tears ran down her cheeks.
She struggled, wanting to break free from Lu Yiming's embrace. She ran towards Guan Zhengyuan as she shouted, "Do you really want my mother to die so badly?!"
Rumor had it that the reason that Seaside's building could not be sold was because many people bought houses to store spirit tablets, ashes, and even coffins. As a result, some strange things happened, and there were many rumors, so no one dared to buy a house here.
Guan Youyou always thought that it was a rumor spread by competitors because of competition, but when the scene in front of her eyes today, she never would have thought that it was actually true. Furthermore, the person in the coffin was her own mother, and the one who made her mother restless was her father!
Pei Ming forcefully pulled Guan Youyou over and faced her. He pulled her into his embrace and let her tears wet his shirt.
"Director Guan, it's better if you avoid it."
At this moment, Guan Zhengyuan's face was covered in tears. He did not listen to Pei Ming's words and instead, with a "plop", he kneeled on the ice-cold floor and said, "Yo, daddy has let you down!"
Guan Youyou acted as if she did not hear it, and started crying even harder.
… ….
When Pei Zi Yun's driver was called upstairs, he was actually followed by Guan Qiqi and Jiang Haoran who rushed over afterwards. The two of them did as they were told and found out that the driver had stopped at the 21st floor.
He saw that the door to the only room was ajar, and a familiar voice came from inside.
That was Guan Youyou's cry.
Guan Qiqi rushed in without a care, seeing Guan Youyou hiding in the embrace of Pei Zi Yun, and Guan Zhengyuan kneeling at the side, a burst of anger surged up from her heart, and she shouted at Guan Youyou: "Oh, my mother did wrong, but she has already been sentenced to death. What is there to be dissatisfied about, treating father like this!"
"Are you satisfied only because you want our family to be ruined and our family to be wiped out!?"
