wore an expensive, dark suit. His face was striking with well-defined features: thick eyebrows that reached his temples, a high nose bridge, and thin lips pressed into a tight line. He exuded an air...In Shen Ningran's line of sight, a slender hand reached over with a small packet of tissues. The driver, wearing a baseball cap, said nothing, just handing the tissues to her.

Shen Ningran took the tissue, "Thank you."

She rarely showed her vulnerability in public, hastily wiping away her tears.

The car came to a smooth halt, Shen Ningran got out. The man watched her figure disappear inside, then took off his hat, revealing Ye Ci's stunningly handsome face. But at this moment, the man had no expression, and his dark eyes were filled with a terrifyingly violent aura.

Shen Ningran returned home, and only Zhao Auntie was there. Zhao Auntie saw that Shen Ningran's complexion was not good, so she walked forward and asked, "Miss Shen, what's wrong with you Why is your face so pale Are you feeling unwell"

Shen Ningran shook her head. "No."

Have you had dinner yet

"No."

Then I'll go get it for you.

"No, Auntie Zhao, you don't have to worry about me. Hèhè isn't home most of the time these days. You've worked hard all this time, so take some time to rest recently. You don't have to look after me."

"No way, I'll still cook you some noodles."

"No trouble, I can't eat much. I'm going back to my room first."

Shen Ningran returned to her room, took out her mother's photo, which was also the only photo she had. She and her mother looked very similar. In her eyes, her mother was always a woman of great courage and mystery.

Unfortunately...

Shen Ningran sighed.

If her mother were still alive, where would she be now

If she is dead, who is the real murderer

Shen Ningran only felt her heart throbbing in pain.

After a long time, she opened a bottle of red wine, poured half a glass, and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly sipping it.

Perhaps it's the quiet night that always magnifies one's sadness infinitely. Shen Ningran, who originally wanted to adjust her emotions, was still swayed by them.

Auntie Zhao still worried about her, so she cooked a small bowl of noodles and brought it to her door. "Miss Shen, you should eat something. It's not good to have an empty stomach, especially after drinking. You can't drink alcohol, right"

Since donating a kidney, the doctor told her she needed to pay attention to her diet and suggested she drink less alcohol and ideally not at all. So Shen Ningran rarely drinks alcohol now, only a little if she does, especially since she doesn't have a good tolerance for it.

"I only had a little, it's fine." Shen Ningran looked at the steaming noodles beside her, her heart warmed. "Thank you, Aunt Zhao."

"It's okay, eat some."

"Hmm."

Auntie Zhao walked out and saw that Shen Ningran was in a bad mood now, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she called Jiang Li.

Because Aunt Zhao was introduced by Jiang Li to help Shen Ningran, so there is Jiang Li's contact information.

"Hey, Miss Jiang, it seems like Ms. Shen is in a bad mood today. I saw she had some alcohol, and I'm worried something might happen to her."

Jiang Li immediately came over without saying a word.

Jiang Ligang had just arrived, Shen Ningran had just finished her noodles, and Jiang Li stomped into Shen Ningran's room in a pair of sky-high heels as if walking on flat ground.

"Rǎnrǎn, are you okay"

Shen Ningran was lost in thought for a moment and saw Jiang Li almost slip because she had been running too quickly. Shen Ningran quickly reached out to help her, "How did you get here"

"Auntie Zhao said you're in a bad mood and drinking alone, worrying that something might happen to you, so I came over as quickly as I could."

Are you alright Why are your face so pale How much have you had to drink Why are you so unhappy Did that big jerk Bo Jin Yu bully you again Ruo Ruo, if anything is bothering you, please tell me. Don't even think about giving up..."

Jiang Li bombarded her with a flurry of concern, and Shen Ningran wanted to say something but couldn't get a word in. She simply covered her mouth and said solemnly, "I didn't want to harm myself, and it has nothing to do with Bo Jinyu. I only took a small sip, and red wine isn't strong liquor, so don't worry."

Jiang Li nodded.

Shen Ningran loosened her grip, and Jiang Li gasped for breath. "I was scared to death, I thought something happened to you."

Jiang Li's remaining gaze fell on the photo on Shen Ningran's desk, "Isn't this your mother"

"Hmm."

"Are you upset because of what happened to your mother"

Shen Ningran sat back down in her chair, "Hmm."

Jiang Li knew about Shen Ningran's mother. For so many years, there had been no news at all, neither alive nor dead. This was simply torment for Shen Ningran.

Jian Li knelt beside Shen Ningran and said softly, "Ningning, don't worry. Auntie is so smart, she'll be fine, she'll find it for sure."

Shen Ningran thought the same way. She nodded vigorously, squeezing out a smile, and seeing Jiang Li's attire, "You just came out of a bar, didn't you"

"Well, of course! I came all the way here to see you, even though I had made plans with friends. Doesn't that show how much I care"

Shen Ningran's eyes were filled with warmth, "Then are you going back"

"Of course...not." Jiang Li looked at Shen Ningran and decided to stay with her, lest she be alone.

Shen Ningran knew Jiang Li was a restless person. “Alright, go ahead. I’m fine. You don’t have to stay with me. Don’t keep your friends waiting, and don’t come back too late.”

Jiang Li's eyes rolled, "Come with me, don't stay home alone, the more you stay, the worse your mood will be. Go out and relax, and by the way, supervise me to go home early, come on."

Jiang Li pulled Shen Ningran quickly outside. "Don't refuse me, it's rare that Hehe isn't home. The two of us can go wherever we want. You lead such a monotonous life normally, just work and family and children."

Shen Ningran disagreed with Jiang Li's words.

With Bo Jin Yu, Guan Xin Yue, and Shen Jiao Xue around, she was constantly engaging them in witty banter and friendly competitions. Life with them was anything but dull.

……

It's only nine o'clock, for Jiang Li, the night has just begun.

In a bar booth, Jiang Li introduced Shen Ningran to her friends. Since Jiang Li had mentioned that Shen Ningran didn't drink, everyone was very considerate and no one pressured her to have a drink. When someone came over to chat her up, someone else immediately stepped in to shield Shen Ningran.

Shen Ningran ordered a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine and sipped it slowly.

Everyone says that when you're in a bad mood, you're more likely to get drunk. I guess it's true.

Shen Ningran took a few sips and when she got up, her temples throbbed.

Jiang Li saw her getting up and hurriedly asked, "Ranran, where are you going"

"I went out to get some fresh air."

"Want me to go with you"

"No need, I'll be back soon."

……

The Bao family at this time.

The spacious living room was cold and empty. A large and a small figure sat expressionlessly on the sofa.

Shen Anhe looked at Bo Jin Yu, "I can't sleep."

Bo Jin looked at the little guy.

Well, he can't sleep either.

"Daddy, please take me to find Mommy."

"I already went yesterday, don't go every day, just go back to your room and sleep." Bo Jin Yu stood up, walked two steps, and felt a heaviness in her step, an extra leg ornament.

"What are you doing"

"It's been a whole day since we last saw Mommy, don't you miss her"

He doesn't want to think about that crazy woman.

"If you want her, go get her yourself."

Shen Anhe immediately loosened his grip on Bo Jin Yu, without hesitation, turned around and left.

Bao Jin Yu watched her son's resolute back, her lips twitching. "If you go, don't come back."

Shen Anhe: Oh, how I wish for it!

Shen Anhe thought of Bo Jinyu telling him not to come back, his steps became much lighter, wanting to quickly return to Mommy's embrace. As he just reached the door, his legs went empty and he was forcefully lifted up.

Bo Jin stared at him with a darkened face. "White-eyed wolf."

Shen Anhe saw the car keys in Bo Jin Yu's hand, blinked his eyes, and was then put into the car.

Well, Bo Jin Yu still compromised.

In the car, Bo Jin yu called Shen Ning ran.

Jiang Li saw that Shen Ningran's bag had started ringing. As Shen Ningran hadn't returned yet, Jiang Li answered the phone, "Hello."

Bo Jin Yu immediately realized it wasn't Shen Ning Ran's voice. "Who are you"

Hearing Bo Jin'yu's voice, Jiang Li was startled, her phone almost dropping to the ground. She hurriedly clutched it tightly, "Hello I...I'm Jiang Li."

"How did Shen Ningran's phone end up with you"

"Ranran had a little drink, might be a bit tipsy, just went out for some fresh air and hasn't come back yet. Is there anything you need"

Bo Jin listened to the noise coming from her side, "Where are you"

"Bar."

"Address."

"You You're coming over" Jiang Li couldn't sit still any longer, she stood up abruptly.

"Having trouble"

Jiang Li could feel the terrifying pressure even through the phone. If she said there was a problem, would he kill her Jiang Li stammered and reported her address.

The other party seemed unwilling to say a word and hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Li glanced at the time. Seeing that Shen Ningran hadn't returned for a long time, she couldn't sit still either. She took her and Shen Ningran's things and prepared to go find her.

Soon, the bar parking lot, a dignified Rolls-Royce came to a smooth stop.

Bo Jinyu unbuckled her seatbelt. “I’ll go pick her up, you stay here and wait.”

"I'm going too." Shen Anhe unbuckled his seatbelt to get out of the car, but Bo Jinyu pulled him back. "No way,"

"Why"

"There are too many people, it's unsafe. Sit still, if you run around, I'll never bring you to find her again."

Under a barrage of accurate threats from Bo Jinyu, Shen Anhe slumped his head in the car.

Bo Jin walked out of the car and strode into the bar, where he saw Jiang Li who was about to go back after failing to find Shen Ningran.

When Chiang Li saw this ruthless, cold-blooded man, her heart skipped a beat. She also thought of her experience of being sunk at sea, and she trembled all over.

But still, I had to force myself to greet him, "Bo... Boss Bo."

"Where did Shen Ningran go"

Jiang Li hurriedly said, "I'm also looking for her, but I haven't found her."

Bao Jinyu saw that she was holding two cell phones in her hand, her eyes darkened. "Where do you think she'll go"

"She just went out for some fresh air and never came back." Jiang Li was also starting to get worried, "Maybe she's gone back. I'm going to go take a look."

"Well, lead the way."

Jiang Li took a deep breath and, with the expressionless Bo Jinyu by her side, returned to their booth. However, she didn't see Shen Ningran.

Bo Jin's face darkened even further, and Jiang Li felt a chill run down his spine.

Bo Jin'yu left behind a sentence, "Search separately," then left.

Jiang Li didn't hesitate and immediately went to find someone.

Bao Jin walked along the corridor, looking everywhere. Since Shen Ningran didn't bring her phone, there was no way to contact her.

Bao Jin Yu didn't realize she was unusually anxious at this moment.

I really don't know why that stupid woman came to the bar. She already looks so flashy, doesn't she know bars can be dangerous

As Bo Jin Yu passed by the restroom, she heard someone falling inside.

"Goodness, miss are you alright Did you hurt yourself"

"It's okay."

That is Shen Ningran's voice.

Bo Jin yu stopped abruptly, he was about to walk in but hesitated.

This is the women's restroom.

But that woman could even fall while walking, she must be very drunk.

Bo Jin stood at the entrance of the women's restroom, hesitating and pinching the bridge of his nose.are you touching my child Is there something wrong with you that makes you want to touch my child"Shen Ningran pressed down hard on the knife, its tip piercing through flesh and bone, lodging itself i...
