Liu Wumai smiled and quickly opened WeChat to send a message to Liu Yuchuan.
Liu Wumai: Arguing with me won’t solve anything, but why not try complimenting me?
Liu Yuchuan took a deep breath, his brows furrowed. His hands didn’t stop moving: I’m too tired to communicate; if you say there’s sun at night, I’ll just accept it.
Hey, that little brat! Liu Wumai didn’t expect such a response.
What’s going on? An elegant and beautiful lady appeared beside Liu Wumai. He brightened up when he saw her and began to complain.
“Dear, that little brat Liu Yuchuan said he doesn’t want to communicate with me anymore, and he even said he’d accept it if I said there’s sun at night. You don’t think he’s been possessed, do you? How could he say such things?”
Zhu Chenfu, Liu Wumai’s wife, rolled her eyes at him: “Did Xiao Yan do something?”
One could only say that she truly understood her daughter Liu Ru Yan too well, yet Liu Wumai remained oblivious.
What’s wrong? Back then, he insisted on watching over Xiao Yan; it was only right for her to get back at him a bit. Liu Wumai was getting angry just thinking about it; after all, his little Nuan Nuan had been taken away when she was just a tiny bundle.
Because of his status, he could only sneak glances at her, and then he heard the news about his daughter getting into trouble—because of him, no less.
“Don’t blame Yuchuan; he didn’t want this either,” Zhu Chenfu said helplessly. “Sometimes you’re just a bit childish.”
Hmph! Liu Wumai turned away and stopped talking. Zhu Chenfu pouted and secretly picked up her phone to message Liu Ru Yan.
Beautiful Mommy: Baby, are you asleep?
Liu Ru Yan was talking with Lan Ruo Yi about work when she saw the message pop up on her phone. Seeing “Dear Mommy” made her a bit flustered, and she quickly handed the phone to Lan Ruo Yi.
Lan Ruo Yi: ?
What does this mean?
Liu Ru Yan clasped her hands together: “Please, please help me!”
Lan Ruo Yi was quite adept at handling these situations, so she helped reply to the message while Liu Ru Yan let out a sigh of relief.
Lan Ruo Yi pinched her cheek with a smile: “Why do you look so troubled?”
Liu Ru Yan furrowed her delicate brows: “Sigh, it just feels like it’s not really me, so I feel a bit guilty.”
Lan Ruo Yi could indeed understand Liu Ru Yan’s guilt; she hadn’t actively contacted her family either. But then she thought of Liu Yuchuan and asked: “What about your uncle?”
“My uncle?” Liu Ru Yan was puzzled. Why bring up Liu Yuchuan at this time?
"Why haven't I seen you so afraid of your uncle?" Lan Ruo Yi remarked, and Liu Ru Yan immediately caught on, her smile a bit forced.
"Don't get me wrong, I do feel a bit guilty. When I saw him spinning you around, I was shocked!"
"Wasn't there no one around at that time? His words felt threatening, and I just instinctively reacted!"
"I was a bit scared at first, but since we were in her body, it didn't feel as frightening anymore. Besides, he can't find any evidence to prove I'm not Liu Ru Yan."
Lan Ruo Yi nodded in agreement with Liu Ru Yan's perspective, though she felt a bit anxious about their father’s side of things.
Tomorrow is another workday, and it's Friday too. Let's see what happens then. Liu Ru Yan actually feels somewhat excited about going to work.
It's just that it’s been too thrilling. Thinking about it reminds her of Sister Na; something still feels off about that situation.
Before going to bed today, I checked Sister Na's various social media accounts and noticed she hasn’t posted anything since that night. You know what I mean?
Liu Ru Yan recalled the events from the afternoon and decided to analyze them further with Lan Ruo Yi. Lan Ruo Yi hadn’t expected her to analyze things even before going to sleep.
"Yeah, I understand what you mean, but it's hard for me to believe this could happen in this century," Lan Ruo Yi said, clearly grasping Liu Ru Yan's implication that Sister Na might have been harmed.
"At the very least, there should be news about it, right? And there haven't been any reports of female corpses turning up."
"Could it be suppressed?"
The two lay side by side, staring at the ceiling. Lan Ruo Yi concluded, "I really don’t think so. Who has that kind of power?"
"Have you forgotten? Our boss is Jiang Nan; he used to be an emperor. We still don’t fully understand his influence in this world. Don’t you think he might be quite powerful?"
Liu Ru Yan shared her speculation, which seemed plausible. Just then, Lan Ruo Yi picked up her phone to message Mo Wan and found a message from him waiting.
Mo Wan: "Jiang Nan is one of the ten most influential figures; he has many connections and is also the head of a charitable foundation."
Lan Ruo Yi: "Wow, you're so timely!"
Liu Ru Yan saw Mo Wan's message too and exclaimed, "Wow! Your brother is like a timely rain—better than my uncle!"
Meanwhile, Liu Yuchuan was unaware that Liu Ru Yan thought he was inferior to Mo Wan. While working in his study, he suddenly sneezed.
Achoo! After sneezing, he wiped his nose with a tissue and poured himself another cup of hot water.
The weather is still too cold.
