Chapter 65 - What a coincidence

Yu Cen Ran looked at the scene coldly. At first, he wanted to say something, but Yu Cen Ran's ice-cold gaze flew over and he was too scared to say anything. He just squatted quietly in the corner.

He turned his head and looked at Yu Cen Ran. His red lips barely lifted into a smile that was uglier than a cry, and he said, "Didn't you go to the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

Yu Cen Ran's eyes drooped and she placed her hand on her watch, "The hospital was issued with a medical notice at night, so at night my mother had a heart attack. Despite finding it in time, my mother's health was already very poor. The doctor has tried his best, but he was still unable to save her."

At night, when Nan Qiao listened, it was as if her heart had been pierced by a needle. At night, his mother was in the hospital's emergency room, running with death, and what was she doing?

Thinking up to this point, the South Bridge felt heartache with uncontrollable regret.

In the corner, South Heaven was squatting down. His eyes were looking at the south bridge, but his expression was a little unnatural. It was very stiff. There seemed to be something strange flashing across his eyes, and then he disappeared without a trace.

When Yu Cen Ran caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eyes, he naturally saw the reaction of the Southern Universe.

However, he did not say anything. He just silently took note of what he felt in his heart.

Yu Cen Ran's phone had rung a few times already. She was a few of the company's top executives, so she didn't dare to call again after not answering once. The remaining calls were all from Zhou Yu Chen.

Yu Cen Ran didn't dare to leave the South Bridge because she was afraid she would do something stupid. However, Zhou Yuchen didn't know how to look at people's eyes. He broke off a phone call and called again, as if he was going to keep on calling if you didn't want to pick him up.

Impatient was flowing between her eyebrows. Yu Cen Ran picked up her phone and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Yu Chen shouted, "Come quickly to the bar! A proper girl is coming tonight!"

"F * ck off." It was short, one word, and then he hung up.

Zhou Yu Chen held the phone in his hand and didn't know what to say. However, hearing Yu Cen Ran's tone, Zhou Yu Chen curled his lips and thought it would be better if he didn't court his own death.

Yu Cen Ran put her phone on the cabinet. Nanqiao looked at it and said, "It's fine, if you have something to do, you can do it first. I'm really much better now."

"What serious matter? That Zhou Yu Chen fellow is courting death."

Nanqiao said, "Then what about those people from before? It's not like everyone would dare to come and seek death, right?"

Yu Cen Ran curled her lips and caressed Nan Qiao's hair. With a doting tone, she said, "The company's matters are not as important as yours. Be good. Don't even think about it. I'll send you home, hmm?"

Nanqiao obediently agreed. "Okay."

It was late at night, and there were very few cars still outside at this hour. Yu Cen Ran drove very slowly and steadily. It was already midnight when the car arrived at the Yu Family villa.

"I'll get Housekeeper Zhang to come out and pick you up."

Yu Cen Ran parked the car to the side, picked up the phone and dialed. South Bridge picked up the phone and cut it off, "No need, we're all at home. I'll go in myself. The butler is asleep, so there's no need to trouble yourself."

"Alright, then I'll watch you enter."

Surprised, Nan Qiao looked up at Yu Cen Ran. "You're not coming with me?"

Yu Cen Ran shook her head and said, "I still have to go take care of some of Mom's matters. I'll be home a little later, so there's no need to wait for me. After taking a shower, just sleep. Don't think too much, understand?"

Nan Qiao nodded, her heart warm and full of guilt. She was clearly not Yu Cen Ran's mother, but his son-in-law had done more things than her biological daughter.

When her mother was still alive, it was Yu Cen Ran who helped pay for her mother's medical fees so that she could rely on expensive medicinal herbs and medical equipment to keep her life. Now that her mother was gone, it was Yu Cen Ran who had to do everything right in the middle of the night.

Nanqiao didn't know what to say. Just like his mother Zhang Fenglan had said, their family was truly in debt for too much, and they couldn't understand it no matter what.

Suddenly, the South Bridge hugged Yu Cen Ran's neck tightly and leaned close to his ear, saying, "Thank you, thank you sincerely!"

Yu Cen Ran's thin lips curved up in a smile. She was very satisfied and tilted her head. Her gentle, dragonlike kiss landed on South Bridge's forehead. "Good night."

Looking at the South Bridge getting off, opening the door, and entering the villa, Yu Cen Ran's expression changed. She started the engine and the expensive car sped away in the dark night, disappearing.

On the main street, South Heaven was walking leisurely with a bottle of Erguotou in his left hand. There were very few cars. Relying on his alcohol to build up his courage, he walked in a straight line in the middle of the main road.

Suddenly, a car quickly rushed over and drove straight towards South Heaven without any signs of slowing down.

After drinking too much, how could Nan Qiankun's body be sensitive? He kept shouting in his head to avoid it, but the scene in front of him scared him out of his wits.

Seeing that car getting closer and closer, South Heaven's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He wouldn't really lose his life today, would he? This method caused blood to splash onto the road?

Just as Nan Qiankun closed his eyes in despair, the car suddenly stopped and the tires rapidly rubbed against the ground, creating a sharp sound. Two tire marks were left on the ground, the car door opened and the owner of the luxury car stepped out.

"The Southern Universe." That familiar voice was cold and oppressive.

Nan Qiankun narrowed his eyes and shook his head again. The anesthetic brought about by the alcohol caused the figure in front of him to overlap. Nan Qiankun looked again and again several times before finally seeing clearly that it was Yu Cen Ran.

"What's going on?"

South Heaven raised his hand and shook the Erguotou in his hand. He laughed shamelessly, "Can't you see? My wife died, and now I'm using the wine to dispel my worries!"

Without any more patience, Yu Cen Ran lifted his leg and kicked towards Nan Qiankun. The kick landed squarely on his abdomen with considerable force. Nan Qiankun collapsed on the ground, groaning in pain.

Yu Cen Ran walked in and looked down at the man in a sorry state, "I'll ask again, what happened? You were feeling guilty in the ward today."

Damn it! Nan Qiankun cursed in his heart as he inwardly cursed whether or not Chen Cen was using the Fiery Eyes of Truth. He was able to detect even this easily. He had indeed been in the mall for many years, and his eyes were sharp.

Nan Qiankun stuttered as he looked around. "It was that afternoon … Hmm?"

Yu Cen Ran tilted her head and replied in a gloomy tone, "Get to the point."

Seeing that he was about to kick again, South Heaven was truly afraid. Seeing that he really couldn't hide it, he could only truthfully answer, "That day, your father came to find your mother …"

Yu Cen Ran narrowed her eyes as a dangerous aura emanated from her, "My father?"

"Yes, he probably came in the late afternoon and chatted with Feng Lan for a while, but I don't know what he talked about. I only know that not long after your father left, South Bridge's mother had an illness. You guys are well aware of what happened next …"

Yu Cen Ran's heart sank. He didn't know that Yu ChengHui had seen Zhang Fenglan before, and it just so happened that Zhang Fenglan had a heart attack.

The relationship between South Bridge and his mother was very good. If South Bridge were to find out about this, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Thinking this way, Yu Cen Ran decided to investigate the reason in private. She turned around and cast a glance at the South Heaven and Earth, "Don't tell this to the South Bridge yet. Remember, don't harass the South Bridge anymore. I don't want you to meet with her again."

South Heaven knew the opportunity had come. He forced a smile and said with a fawning face, "I know. It's just that I'm very tight on money and have no other choice. You know I only have South Bridge …"

The meaning behind his words was that they needed money. The South Bridge Family was everywhere, but this sort of unorthodox business brought misfortune and disaster to their entire family.

Yu Cen Ran was annoyed when she heard this. She waved her hand and took out a few hundred pieces of paper from her purse, slapping them on the face of the Southern Heaven and Earth with disgust.

South Heaven's eyes widened. This wasn't Yu Cen Ran's style! Embarrassed, he picked up the money on the ground. He shrunk back and said, "Director Yu, this amount of money isn't enough, right?"

Yu Cen Ran didn't even look at the Southern Heaven and said, "I will have people give you money regularly. As long as you act obediently and listen to me, there will be a day when you will pay back the loan."

"This …"

Yu Cen Ran laughed coldly and mocked, "What, you think it's not enough? Or are you saying you don't want a penny? "

The South Heaven was silent. Yu Cen Ran's next sentence was, "Either take it well and pay it back bit by bit, or don't even think about getting a single cent. Just wait for the loan sharks to cut off your hands and feet."

After saying that, Yu Cen Ran got into the car and left, not wanting to see Nan Qiankun's face again.

After returning home, Yu Cen Ran raised her head and looked at the ancient quartz clock hanging on the wall. It was already pointing in the direction of half past three.

Yu Cen Ran supported herself on the wall as she changed her shoes. Then, she quietly made her way up to the second floor. After a busy day, Yu Cen Ran had never been afraid of worrying about anything, but when he returned home, he found himself looking forward to seeing South Bridge the most.

Opening the door, Yu Cen Ran didn't turn on the light in the room. The sudden influx of darkness made Yu Cen Ran uncomfortable. After about four or five seconds, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

He stretched out his hand and pulled on the light. Sure enough, there was no one on the bed. Where the south bridge should have been, the quilt was still neatly folded without any trace of having been touched.

The South Bridge was not obedient!

A wave of unease rose in Yu Cen Ran's heart. Without much time to think, he quickly walked out of the room and searched up and down the Yu Family villa. He didn't even let go of the dark corners, but without exception, he didn't find the South Bridge.

— She's not home!

Where could a weak woman go at such a late hour, and who could have guessed what would happen?

Intense uneasiness welled up in his heart. Yu Cen Ran reached into her suit pocket and took out her phone. She immediately dialed the speed-dial button. The phone rang for about a minute, but she only heard "Sorry, no one answered your call"!
