Seeing Ruan Qingwan like this, Lu Shijia's heart heavily thumped once more. After all these years, this was the second time Lu Shijia had seen his mother so sad …

The first time was because of her little sister who had been lost not long after she was born.

"Mom, what's wrong? What happened …" Lu Shijia walked over to Ruan Qingwan and extended her hand out to support Ruan Qingwan's shoulder.

Ruan Qingwan seemed to have come back to her senses when she heard Lu Shijia's voice. Her lifeless and empty gaze fell upon Lu Shijia, and in the next moment, Ruan Qingwan tightly grabbed onto Lu Shijia's arm as if she had lost control of herself. Her trembling and hoarse voice resounded in the quiet and terrifying villa, "Shijie … What to do... What to do... The police just called. That your father jumped, jumped off a building, and told us to go to the police station to identify the body. But, but how could this be possible … He was clearly still fine when he went out … Something must have gone wrong... They must have made a mistake... Shijie, even if I call your dad, I can't get through to him. Hurry up and tell someone to go find your dad … … "

Lu Shijia was so shocked by Ruan Qingwan's obscene words that she stared for dozens of seconds before coming back to her senses. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))

However, Lu Shijia had more endurance than Ruan Qingwan, and very quickly, Lu Shijia forced himself to calm down. He patted Ruan Qingwan's still trembling shoulders and said softly, "Mom, don't worry for now, Daddy will be fine. I'll call someone to go find Daddy right now, don't worry."

With that, Lu Shijia stood up with his mobile, avoiding Ruan Qingwan and An Qingruo, and walked to the exit of the hall.

The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it connected.

Just as he said that, Lu Shijia spoke out first: "Uncle Wei, hello, I'm Shijia."

When the man called Uncle Wei heard Lu Shijia's voice, he said in a pained voice, "It's Shi Jia. I just heard about your father's matter, and they are heading towards the West Branch.

After Lu Shijia heard Uncle Wei's words, his gloomy face instantly paled. His fingers gripped the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

After a long while, Lu Shijia finally squeezed out a few words, "Uncle Wei, could you be mistaken … My dad was fine when he went out this morning. How was this possible … "How could it be? He jumped off a building and died …"

"It's like this, my identity has basically confirmed that it's your father, but the cause of death is indeed strange, our people are still investigating, it's better if you go to Police station first."

Hearing this, Lu Shijia fiercely gritted his teeth, and in that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

She had become a puppet, her stiff gaze subconsciously looking at Ruan Qingwan who was sitting in the living room.

Looking at Ruan Qingwan's pair of red eyes, Lu Shijia raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The current situation did not allow him to continue being sad. He had to quickly calm down, so that he could properly take care of his mother and investigate his father's death!

"I got it. Thanks, Uncle Wei. I'll go to the police station immediately."

Lu Shijia ended the call, put away his phone and walked into the living room.

Just as he entered, Ruan Qingwan who had heard the commotion, looked at Lu Shijia with eyes full of hope, and quickly asked: "Shi Jia, how is it? Have you asked? Was there a mistake at the police station? Nothing about your father was right. "

Lu Shijia looked at Ruan Qingwan's eyes that were filled with hope and struggled to move her lips. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Ruan Qingwan in the end, "Mom, I'm going to the Police station.

When Ruan Qingwan heard this, she looked at Lu Shijia's bloodshot eyes in just a few minutes. In that instant, she felt as if the world had started spinning before her eyes.

… He could clearly hear the heart in his chest instantly shatter into countless pieces. It was as if he had fallen into a bone-chilling lake.

He couldn't even breathe. His cold fingers felt like they were being frozen.

Her ears were filled with buzzing sounds. She could only see Lu Shijia and An Qingruo opening their mouths wide, but she could not hear a single word they were saying.

In his mind, he could only repeat what Lu Shijia had said just now: "Mom, I'm going to Police station …"

Lu Shijia still chose to tactfully tell Ruan Qingwan the truth.

It was a fact that his father was dead. It was impossible for him to hide it from his mother for the rest of her life.

What's more, his mother probably knew everything now, it was just that she didn't want to believe it now.

People can't always live in the illusion they build. The truth, even if it hurts, can't be avoided.

Finished … Ruan Qingwan knew that everything was over … She had loved this man for her entire life, and now that Lu Yaozong was dead … He jumped off the building and died, as the policeman on the phone had said.

Because what the police said on the phone just now was true, so … That was why Lu Shijia had to make a trip to the Police station …

Ruan Qingwan felt as if all the energy in her body was instantly sucked out, her entire body shook violently, her vision turned black, and her entire body fell to the ground.

Ruan Qingwan's face was already very pale, but now it was even whiter than white paper!

Lu Shijia had been paying attention to Ruan Qingwan the entire time, and was worried that she would not be able to take it. Seeing that, she quickly reached out and grabbed Ruan Qingwan's shoulder, and said worriedly: "Mom …"

Ruan Qingwan's bloodshot eyes stared intently at Lu Shijia, the tears on her face had not dried yet, and her ten fingers tightly grabbed onto Lu Shijia's sleeves as she spoke in a hoarse and difficult voice: "I want to go to Police station with you …"

Hearing Ruan Qingwan's words, Lu Shijia frowned: "Mom, listen to me. Rest at home first and have Yuan Yuan accompany you. I will take care of the matters at Police station."

Lu Shijia did not want Ruan Qingwan to go with him to the police station to retrieve a corpse.

Ruan Qingwan's body was not well in the first place, but now that he had suffered such a huge blow, Lu Shijia did not dare let his mother see his father's corpse with her own eyes.

As he spoke, Lu Shijia's gaze landed on An Qingruo, and he said to An Qingruo: "Yuan Yuan, take care of mother at home, if there's anything, just call me anytime."
