Although she was not like those young ladies, her parents had protected her very well, so she had never seen such a cruel scene.
This also made her realize that presidents who were once high and mighty did not only have admirable sides; they also had sides that inspired awe and... fear.
The scene of blood washing away on the ground by the heavy rain still lingered in Yu Ziyue's mind...
"It's raining so heavily outside, you should come in too."
After asking about Lan Qianqian's condition, Xia Han noticed the woman outside the door. Although she didn't know who she was, since she had come with President Xuan, it was better to let her in, especially with the heavy rain.
Yu Ziyue turned her head and saw a charming and sunny woman. "Thank you, but no need."
After speaking, she looked at Qi Jiayou, "Please have someone send me back, President."
Qi Jiayou's deep eyes fixed on her, as if he could see through her heart. His tone was the same as always, but it made Yu Ziyue feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"I'm not leaving yet. If you want to leave, go back by yourself."
He wasn't leaving, so why couldn't he just instruct his subordinates? In such heavy rain, it was difficult to even hail a cab, and he wanted her to go back by herself?
Yu Ziyue sneered, opened the bodyguard's umbrella, and walked out, instantly drenched by the rain...
Qi Jiayou only retracted his gaze after Yu Ziyue disappeared from his sight and poured himself a glass of wine, lost in thought.
"Brother Qi, you..."
Xia Han's face was filled with worry. She was sure to fall ill if she went out like that. Just as she was about to say something else, Lu Haoran suddenly tugged at her.
She immediately turned back and glared at him. Although she didn't like him getting too close to women, this was too heartless!
Lu Haoran touched his nose with a hint of grievance. He just wanted her to care more about him. She cared about a stranger but forgot about him!
You always have your own principles, so they shouldn't interfere. Although he felt it was a bit ruthless, who could say for sure? Under normal circumstances, he would still send people back.
Also, Xuan was strange today. Wasn't he busy? How did he have time to come over?
He met him on the way to the explosion site. He also came down after seeing the situation below. He was so scared at the time. He told Xuan that his sister-in-law had been in that car not long ago, and he couldn't hide his worry.
Later, when he saw his sister-in-law on the verge of death, he was so worried that he shouted out directly. After all, he didn't care about anything.
Thinking of this, Lu Haoran looked at the two brothers with a strange expression...
A moment later, Li An entered, followed by Shi Yi and Shi Xiaohu. Shi Yi rushed over as soon as he heard that the young master had been attacked, feeling uneasy.
These people truly underestimated the world and dared to provoke the young master?!
"How is it?"
Meanwhile, Xuan Mohan had also come out at some point, with a few little ones behind him.
Li An's expression was grim. "Young master, our people could not find that person. He escaped."
"It seems heaven has given him a chance to live."
Coincidentally, the weather had significantly increased the difficulty of their search. Lu Haoran had a premonition at the time that they wouldn't catch the culprit.
"Conduct a thorough search!"
Xuan Mohan's expression was as cold as a devil's. How dare someone be so arrogant on his territory? Did they think he was dead?! Most importantly, they should never have touched Lan Qianqian!
If they were only dealing with him, he could have allowed them to run wild for a while longer, but they shouldn't have touched his reverse scale!
"Yes!"
Li An had initially wanted to mention the old lady's illness, but seeing how angry the young master was, he decided against it. Moreover, he didn't believe the young master would abandon Miss Lan at a time like this.
Xuan Family Old Residence
The old lady woke up again in the afternoon. When she opened her eyes, she was a bit groggy. However, she soon regained some clarity due to the calls beside her.
Turning her head, she saw that only Luo Qinlan was in the room.
"Qinlan, you've been guarding me here?" Due to the fever, the old lady's throat was dry and hoarse, and her voice was weak and powerless.
Luo Qinlan let out a sigh of relief and went to pour a glass of water. "Mom, you're finally awake. Drink some water first. Hongyi is so worried. You can't do this again next time!"
How could she have known that she would sleep for so long and that her health would deteriorate so much? In the end, it was just old age.
"It's fine, this old woman isn't going to die yet. Where is Zhang Sao?"
As soon as she asked, Zhang Sao pushed open the door and came in. "Old lady, you're finally awake. Drink the medicine the doctor prescribed while it's still warm."
The old lady and Zhang Sao exchanged a glance, then she picked up the medicine and drank it. Her eyes turned to Luo Qinlan:
"Qinlan, you've worked hard taking care of this old woman. Go and rest for a while. Zhang Sao is here."
Luo Qinlan, having managed the household for decades, naturally saw that the old lady had something to say to Zhang Sao. But what was it that she couldn't hear?
"Then, Mom, please rest well. Call me if you need anything."
After Luo Qinlan left, the old lady couldn't hold back and immediately asked, "How is it?"
However, Zhang Sao shook her head with a somber face.
The old lady muttered to herself, appearing to have suffered a major blow. "How is that possible?"
The test results couldn't be wrong, and she trusted Old Man Ling. So, it wasn't him?
"You can go down now."
Grandma Xuan waved her hand, her expression seeming even more grim than when she was ill. Not long after, she developed a fever again, causing panic at the old residence. In the end, it alarmed Xuan Mohan, and he and Mu Jingxuan rushed over together.
After leaving An Ya Ju, Yu Ziyue stood by the roadside with her arms crossed, waiting for a long time. Due to the torrential rain, cars were rarely seen.
When she finally managed to get into a car, Yu Ziyue was already trembling all over. By the time she returned to the temporary residence her parents had rented here, her mind was already somewhat hazy.
She later learned that her parents had bought a residence here to search for her sister, in the affluent district of Repulse Bay.
Although she hadn't been here for long, she had inquired about some things.
She forced herself back to her room, changed out of her wet clothes, and then collapsed on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
"Mom..."
Yu Ziyue murmured softly as she slept.
After going to the old residence, Xuan Mohan and Mu Jingxuan did not stay. They each returned to their respective places, braving the heavy rain.
Getting into the car back to Lumina, Mu Jingxuan lay on the car seat with his eyes closed, deep in thought, but his mind was in a complete mess. His mind replayed the journey to the Xuan family's old residence:
"Lan Qianqian can only be my woman!"
Xuan Mohan's declaration of ownership was also an attempt to preserve their brotherhood. He didn't want their relationship to fade or even drift apart.
However, he had not responded for a long time...
