What is Xiao Shuju calling her for?
As soon as her fingertips pressed the answer button, Xiao Shuju’s loud voice roared from the other side: "Sister-in-law, is that you?"
Gu Nuan didn’t rush to respond.
It seed like Xiao Shuju suddenly rembered sothing and muttered to herself, "Oops, she can’t hear —"
Generally, people who talk to Gu Nuan know to use video call tools.
As Xiao Shuju muttered and got anxious on the other end, Gu Nuan could imagine her pulling her hair in frustration. Eventually, Xiao Shuju, having no other choice, hung up the call.
It wasn’t long before a text ssage arrived on Gu Nuan’s phone.
The ssage read: Your husband’s niece has been arrested by the police.
Gu Nuan pondered for a mont and asked: Why are you looking for ? Aren’t her parents around?
Seeing that Gu Nuan’s response was polite, Xiao Shuju didn’t doubt her and promptly explained the situation: Her mom said she was bringing a lawyer, but she’s been gone for ages, and I don’t know what to do.
When a daughter is arrested, it’s usually the mother who’s most concerned. So why isn’t Xiao Shulan anxious to bring help to rescue her daughter? It sounds strange, but once you think about it, it’s quite logical.
Because this mother and daughter simply don’t react like normal people.
It’s likely that Xiao Shulan realized going herself would be futile and that she couldn’t possibly rescue her daughter. So what can Xiao Shulan do?
Judging by this mother-daughter duo’s crazy way of handling things, once they go off the rails, their actions can be utterly reckless and beyond anyone’s imagination.
After slowly moving her eyes away from Xiao Shuju’s text, Gu Nuan looked thoughtfully toward the door.
Zhang Sanfeng, noticing her gaze, followed it and saw soone lingering at the door, seemingly sneaking around like a lurking shadow.
Caught by her piercing gaze, Wa Zicong, who had been staying recently, thought for a mont and erged from his hiding spot.
Zhang Sanfeng squinted, scrutinizing him, wondering how long he’d been lurking there.
Wa Zicong went straight to Gu Nuan and asked, "Do you need my help with anything?"
He sowhat understood her, and his guess was correct.
Gu Nuan said, "Call Mr. Chen and tell him to co ho imdiately."
Asking Chen Jiaming to return ho? Why such a mysterious statent suddenly? Wa Zicong and Zhang Sanfeng didn’t quite understand.
Following her instructions, Wa Zicong called Chen Jiaming, suddenly realizing, how did she know Chen Jiaming hadn’t returned ho and was staying out overnight?
Recently, Chen Jiaming hadn’t been ho.
This secret, he hadn’t shared with anyone.
Those who found out would naturally assu Chen Jiaming didn’t want to return ho because he had conflicts with his family. Perhaps this guess was correct, but more accurately, Chen Jiaming didn’t know how to face his mother when going back.
Mrs. Chen’s deanor was too calm, too indifferent, leaving him, her son, at a loss, not knowing how to cope.
Now, suddenly receiving this ssage from Gu Nuan, Chen Jiaming, after hanging up Wa Zicong’s call, sat in silence for a mont, then picked up his coat and prepared to go out.
anwhile, at the Chen family’s door, a figure pressed the doorbell.
The Chen family’s nanny, after seeing who it was through the electronic door monitor, went back to the living room.
In the living room, Mrs. Chen sat on the sofa, her head slightly raised as if resting with her eyes closed, her legs soaked in a wooden bucket of herbal dicine, preparing for sleep.
