oup into a small bowl. The moment the hot soup was poured, the rich aroma spread out. Guan Xin Yue brought it to Bo Yu Chen's side and patiently persuaded, "Come, Xiao Yu, take a sip. Auntie has been...Shen Ningran's gaze caught the extended, long hand offering a small pack of tissues. The driver, wearing a baseball cap, remained silent, simply handing her the tissues.

Shen Ningran took the tissue, "Thank you."

She rarely showed her vulnerability to the outside world, hurriedly wiping away her tears.

The car stopped steadily, and Shen Ningran got out. The man watched her go inside, took off his hat, revealing Ye Ci's breathtakingly handsome face. But at this moment, the man had no expression, his dark eyes filled with a terrifying aura of violence.

Shen Ningran returned home, but He He wasn't in Bo Jin Yu's place. Only Aunt Zhao was there. Seeing Shen Ningran's bad complexion, Aunt Zhao walked forward and asked, "Miss Shen, what's wrong Why are you 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. Hehe is mostly out of the house these days. You've worked hard all this time, so why not take some rest lately Don't bother taking care of 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 and took out a photo of her mother. It was the only photo she had. She and her mother looked very similar. In Shen Ningran's eyes, her mother was always a woman who was both capable and mysterious.

Unfortunately...

Shen Ningran sighed.

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

If she were dead, who would be the real murderer

Shen Ningran only felt a sharp pain in her heart.

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

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

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

Since donating a kidney, the doctor told her that she needed to pay attention to her diet in the future and advised her to drink less alcohol and avoid it as much as possible. Therefore, Shen Ningran rarely drinks alcohol nowadays, and if she does, she only has a little bit. Especially since her tolerance for alcohol is not good.

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

"It's okay, hurry up and eat some."

"Hmm."

Aunt 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 Auntie Zhao was introduced by Jiang Li to help Shen Ningran, she has Jiang Li's contact information.

"Hi, Miss Jiang, Ms. Shen seems to be in a bad mood today. I saw her drinking alcohol and I'm worried something might happen to her."

Jiang Li immediately came over without saying a word.

Jiang Ligang just came over, Shen Ningran had just finished eating noodles, Jiang Li stepped in with high heels as if walking on flat ground into Shen Ningran's room.

"Rǎnrǎn, are you alright"

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

"Aunt Zhao said you were in a bad mood and drinking alone, worrying that something might happen to you, so I came over as soon as possible."

Are you alright Why are you looking so pale How much have you had to drink What's wrong Was it that scumbag Bo Jinyu again who bullied you Wuu wuu, Ruan Ruan, if anything is bothering you, please tell me. Don't ever think of doing something rash…”

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 Jin Yu, I only took a small sip, and red wine isn't strong liquor, don't worry."

Jiang Li nodded.

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

Jiang Li's last glance saw the photo on Shen Ningran's desk, "Isn't this your mother"

"Hmm."

Are you upset because of what happened with your mother

Shen Ningran sat back into her chair, "Hmm."

Jiang Li knew about Shen Ningran's mother's situation. For so many years, there had been no news, no one alive, and no body found. For Shen Ningran, it was simply torture.

Jiang Li squatted down beside Shen Ningran and said softly, "Ningning, don't worry, Auntie is so smart, she'll be fine, she'll definitely find it."

Shen Ningran thought the same way. She nodded forcefully and squeezed out a smile, seeing Jiang Li dressed like that, "You just came out of a bar, right"

Of course, I came over after ditching my friends who were supposed to meet me. Don't you think that's very thoughtful of me

A warmth flickered in Shen Ningran's eyes, "Will you have to go back then"

"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, no need for you to stay with me. Don't keep your friends waiting, and don't come home too late."

Jiang Li's eyes twirled, "Come with me, don't stay at home alone. The more you stay, the worse your mood gets. Go out and relax, and by the way, supervise me to go home early. Let's go."

Jiang Li pulled Shen Ningran quickly outside. “Don’t refuse me, it’s rare that He He isn’t home. The two of us can go wherever we want. You’re too monotonous in your daily life, just work and family and kids.”

Shen Ningran disapproved of Jiang Li's words.

With Bao Jin, Guan Xinyue, and Shen Jiaoxue around, she was constantly engaging them in mental and physical challenges. Life with them was anything but dull.

……

It is 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 drink. When someone came over to chat her up, someone else immediately stepped in to block them for 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, it's easier to get drunk. I guess that's true.

Shen Ningran just drank a few sips, when she got up, her temples started throbbing.

Seeing her get up, Chiang Li 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 Bo family at this time.

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

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

Bo Jinyu glanced 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 and took two steps, feeling a weight on her legs, like she had an extra leg piece hanging there.

"What are you doing"

"We haven't seen Mommy all day, don't you miss her"

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

"If you miss her, go see her yourself."

Shen Anhe immediately let go of Bo Jin Yu, and without hesitation turned around and walked away.

Bo Jin Yu watched her son's resolute back, the corner of her mouth twitching. "Once you go, don't come back."

Shen Anhe: Ah, how I wish for it!

Shen Anhe thought of Bo Jin Yu telling him not to come back, his steps became much lighter. He wanted to quickly return to Mommy's embrace, but as soon as he reached the door, his legs went empty and he was lifted up by someone with great force.

Bo Jin looked at him with a dark face, "White-eyed wolf."

Shen Anhe saw the car key in Bo Jin Yu's hand, blinked his eyes, and was then picked up and 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 phone was ringing in her bag, and Shen Ningran hadn't come back yet. Jiang Li answered for her, "Hello."

Bo Jin'yu immediately realized it wasn't Shen Ningran's voice. "Who are you"

Hearing Bo Jin Yu's voice, Jiang Li was startled, her phone almost falling to the ground. She hurriedly clutched it in both hands, "Hello I... I'm Jiang Li."

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

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

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

"A bar."

"The address."

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

"Having issues"

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

The other party seemed unwilling to say anything more 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 picked up her and Shen Ningran's things and prepared to go find her.

Soon, the bar parking lot, a noble Rolls-Royce came to a steady stop.

Bo Jin'yu 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 Jin Yu directly pulled him back. "No way."

"Why"

"Too many people, it's unsafe. Sit down, if you run around, I won't bring you to see her again."

Under a series of precise and threatening pronouncements from Bo Jin, Shen Anhe slumped in his seat inside the car.

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

When Jiang Li saw this ruthless, cold-blooded man, her heart skipped a beat. She was reminded of her experience being thrown into the sea and shivered involuntarily.

But still, I had to grit my teeth and say hello, “Bo… Bo Zong.”

"Where did Shen Ningran go"

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

Bo Jin Yu saw that she was holding two cell phones in her hands, his eyes darkened. "Where do you think she'll go"

"She just went out for some fresh air, and then she didn't come back." Jiang Li was also getting worried. "Maybe she went back home, I'm going to check now."

"Well, lead the way."

Jiang Li took a deep breath and, with the expressionless Bo Jin Yu by her side, returned to their booth. However, she didn't see Shen Ning Ran there.

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

Báo Ngc left with a word, "Search separately," and then left.

Jiang Li wasted no time and immediately went to find someone.

Bo Jinyu followed the corridor, searching all along because Shen Ningran hadn't brought her phone and they couldn't get in touch.

Bo Jinyu didn't notice that she was unusually anxious at the moment.

I really don't know what that foolish woman was doing at the bar. She already stands out with her looks, doesn't she know bars can be dangerous

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

"Oh dear, miss are you alright Did you hurt yourself"

"It's okay."

This is Shen Ningran's voice.

Bo Jinyu stopped abruptly. He was about to walk in, but his steps faltered again.

This is the women's restroom.

But that woman walks like she's about to fall, she must be very drunk.

Bo Jin stood at the entrance of the women's restroom, hesitantly pinching her eyebrows.p was flawless.Perhaps at that time, deep down in his heart, he truly wished Yu Chen was his child. However, reality still crushed his last shred of hope.Looking at Shen Ningran's tears, it touched a...
