Previously, when An Qingruo said that going shopping with her friends, it usually took her an entire day. This was the first time she came back so early to see An Qingruo.
An Qingruo was in a good mood as she nodded towards Ruan Qingwan: "En, friends only have temporary matters, so we'll leave after drinking a cup of coffee."
Just as An Qingruo finished speaking, the home phone on the table suddenly rang.
Hearing the rapid and sharp bell sound, Ruan Qingwan's heart inexplicably jumped violently. She could not help but have a bad premonition.
When An Qingruo heard the urgent sound of the phone ringing, the corner of her mouth raised, revealing Xiao Ronglai's face without a sound.
Ruan Qingwan was stunned for a few seconds before regaining her senses. She subconsciously picked up the phone: Hello?
Just as Ruan Qingwan spoke, an unfamiliar voice came out from the phone: "Excuse me, are you Mrs. Lu?"
The doubt in Ruan Qingwan's heart grew deeper as she asked hesitantly, "I am … What's wrong? What's the matter? "
"I am a policeman from the west region of Yao City, is Lu Yaozong your husband? "Please come to the West Side Division right now."
Hearing the two words "police", Ruan Qingwan's heart heavily skipped a beat. The hand she was holding the phone with was subconsciously gripping the phone tightly, she spoke with difficulty, as if her throat was stuffed with a ball of cotton: "It's my mister … What's wrong? What happened to her? Did something happen? "
"It's like this, Mr. Lu Yaozong died after jumping off a building, now he wants to invite your family over to the Public Security Bureau to claim the corpse."
With that, Ruan Qingwan's entire body froze, she instantly felt as though all the energy in her body was gone, her legs went soft, her body swayed uncontrollably, the world spun in front of her eyes, and with a bang, the phone in her hand slid down, smashing fiercely onto the ground.
Seeing that Ruan Qingwan was about to fall to the ground, the servant Nanny Wang who was at the side quickly supported Ruan Qingwan and asked, "Madam, Madam, what happened to you?"
In just an instant, Ruan Qingwan's eyes became red, and when she heard Nanny Wang's voice, it was as if she came back to reality. She fiercely bit her lips, and staggered as she rushed over to grab the microphone on the ground. What did you just say. There must be a mistake! Right! You must be mistaken! "
"There's no mistake, we found some ID information on the dead person and called. Your family should be able to come to the Police station as soon as possible!"
Hearing the police say the word "dead" without any hesitation, Ruan Qingwan bit her lips until the skin started to bleed. The piercing pain made Ruan Qingwan feel as if her mouth was covered in blood.
The hand holding the phone loosened and it fell to the ground with a thud.
Ruan Qingwan collapsed to the ground powerlessly, as if her soul had left her body. She only muttered: "Impossible … This is impossible... How could it be like this … They must have made a mistake. There must have been a mistake. She had been fine since the day she left … "I don't believe it, I don't believe it …"
As he said that, Ruan Qingwan frantically took out her own phone, her hands trembling intensely as she dialed Lu Yaozong's number.
A cold beep sounded out from the phone.
After ringing for more than half a day, he hung up automatically …
"Why didn't you pick up the phone? Why didn't you pick up the phone? Hurry up and answer the phone... "I'm begging you, hurry and pick up the phone, hubby …" With a pale face, Ruan Qingwan called three times in a row …
Unfortunately, Ruan Qingwan was destined to be disappointed this time. The three calls had all been connected, and Lu Yaozong would never pick up her phone again …
Tears welled up in his eyes and fell down uncontrollably.
When An Qingruo, who had been quietly watching from the side, saw Ruan Qingwan's absent-minded appearance, the corners of her mouth raised slightly. Very good, looking at how Ruan Qingwan was about to collapse from the sky, this call just now should have been made by the police reporting her funeral.
It's good that Lu Yaozong is dead! If he died, no one would know that she, An Qingruo, was not the Lu Family's biological daughter!
Thinking of this, An Qingruo hurriedly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and without saying a word, pinched her own thigh.
The sharp pain caused An Qingruo's eyes to turn red, An Qingruo's face became extremely worried, she extended her hand to support Ruan Qingwan, and anxiously asked: "Mom, what's wrong … Did something happen? Mom, don't cry … "
Ruan Qingwan's face was covered in tears. As if grabbing onto her savior, she tightly grabbed onto An Qingruo's hand, and her crying voice trembled: "Call your brother … Hurry up and call your brother … "
At this moment, Ruan Qingwan did not even have the courage to go to the police station. She was afraid that everything that had happened was real, afraid that she would actually see Lu Yaozong's corpse in the police station.
An Qingruo listened and nodded, then took her own phone out and dialed Lu Shijia's number.
Just as Lu Shijia signed the document, the phone beside him rang.
Lu Shijia picked up the phone and looked at the screen, it was An Qingruo's number.
Lu Shijia couldn't help but frown as he rarely called him.
picked up the phone.
Just when he placed it to his ear, Lu Shijia heard that An Qingruo was about to be called: "Brother, come back quickly … … Something happened at home... "
Not only did Lu Shijia hear An Qingruo's voice, he also clearly heard Ruan Qingwan's suppressed weeping sound from the phone.
Lu Shijia's pupils immediately sunk. He knew clearly that his mother was not a person who loved to cry. If not for something really happening, she would not cry!
Lu Shijia's fingers which was holding onto the phone suddenly tightened up a bit. He stood up and said in a low voice: "Take care of mom at home, I'll be back right away."
Fortunately, it was not the peak period of traffic right now, so Lu Shijia drove very fast. Originally, an hour's journey should have been enough for Lu Shijia to arrive there in half an hour.
Just as the car stopped, Lu Shijia jumped down from the car with a gloomy expression and walked into the villa with big steps.
Just as he entered the living room, he saw his own mother, Ruan Qingwan, sitting on the sofa with An Qingruo on her left and right.
Ruan Qingwan's face was frighteningly pale, her eyes were red from crying, and both of her eyes were bloodshot. It was as though she had lost her soul, and tears continued to roll down her face mechanically.
