Chapter 113 The Missing Mother
"Well, but I also want to remind you that after this, it is not only zgtx that competes with Wang Mingyu and alu, but also me."
"Hmm?" Ran Yu was a little puzzled. What was she competing for?
Xia Li chuckled on the other end of the phone, and didn't continue to say anything. Then she said goodbye to Ran Yu and hung up the phone.
Ran Yu was stunned for a long time, not knowing what Xia Li said about competing with Wang Mingyu. I feel that although they have some kinship, they are completely inseparable from the demands of interest. What kind of competition will arise between these two people... Alas, don't think too much. If there is really any competition, Wang Mingyu will tell her soon.
Ran Yu looked at the watch and it was already seven o'clock. At this time, Jiang Lian was already cooking in the kitchen.
She happened to be a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find food. But when she arrived at the kitchen, she found that there was no one there, the pots and bowls were cold, neatly arranged, and no one had touched them.
Could it be that Jiang Lian was overslept? Ran Yu felt that it was unlikely that Jiang Lian was a very responsible person. After she came here, she never got up once late. Even if she had something to do the next day, she would explain the subsequent arrangements in advance, and at least tell her whereabouts. Today... Ran Yu took out her cell phone and looked at it, without any comments from Jiang Lian.
Ran Yu couldn't think of other possibilities, so she could only think that she had overslept, so she fryed an egg by herself and baked a bread to eat.
After Ran Yu finished eating, packed up his things, he turned on the computer and started working. After a while, Lin Xiheng came down.
The first thing he did was to have breakfast, but he found that there was no breakfast, and he felt very strange, so he came out and asked Ranyu: "Sister Yu, did Aunt Jiang take leave today? There is no breakfast anymore."
Ran Yu shook his head: "I don't know either. There are bread and milk in the refrigerator, so you can eat some yourself."
I don’t know... Lin Xiheng guessed that Jiang Lian must have something suddenly, so he didn’t care too much. He also found something from the refrigerator and started training after eating.
It was almost nine o'clock when Yu Le and Jiang Jinghe came down from the building. Yu Le's tone was a little excited and asked Ran Yu: "Sister Yu, have those two people really left?"
Ran Yu heard him speak, looked up at him and nodded: "Yes, I have called Xia Li to ask, and she admitted it in person."
When Yu Le heard this, the excitement on his face no longer concealed: "That's great! When they were both here, I always felt that there were outsiders here, which was very unhappy. Now I am free whether it is eating or playing games."
Jiang Jinghe was not as excited as Yu Le. He was a little worried. He looked at Ranyu for a long time and asked, "Xia Li... is she okay?"
Ranyu knew what he was worried about and shook her head, "I called Xia Li. She is in good spirits and has been working again. You don't have to worry about this."
When Jiang Jinghe heard Ran Yu say this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Le on the side predicted something and looked at him maliciously: "What's wrong? You're reluctant to let go of someone after driving him away?"
Jiang Jinghe glanced at him and said helplessly: "What are you talking nonsense?"
"Brother Jiang, you are worried about her now, and you show it everywhere. You just like him." Yu Le looked at him with a grudge and said, "Love boldly, I support you!"
"Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing."
Yu Le didn't force him to admit it, and said with a smile: "I'm starving to death. I'll go see what Aunt Jiang made again this morning."
He said as he walked towards the kitchen, but when he arrived at the kitchen, he found nothing.
"Hey?" Yu Le touched his nose, seemed a little unhappy, and came out of the kitchen and asked Ranyu: "Sister Yu, have you finished all the delicious Aunt Jiang?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Ran Yu glared at him: "I also find it strange. If it were in the past, Aunt Jiang would have come down to cook at this time, and she hasn't come down for so long today. I don't know what's going on. Jinghe, do you know why your mother hasn't woken up yet?"
"I don't know either. I thought my mother had already come down just now." Jiang Jinghe suddenly felt a thump in his heart. He quickly went upstairs and pushed open the door of Jiang Lian's room. He found that there was no one inside, and even the quilts and sheets were folded well. She must have been out for a long time.
Jiang Jinghe felt that he called Jiang Lian, but he prompted the owner to turn off the phone. He ran down in dismay and grabbed Ran Yu's arm: "Sister Yu, help me quickly. My mother is gone and my phone can't be connected..."
Ran Yu was stunned for a moment and quickly comforted him: "Don't be nervous first, maybe my aunt just went out to buy vegetables, and then she forgot to charge her phone last night, and now she is out of battery..."
Lin Xiheng, who was originally playing games, heard this and comforted him: "Don't worry, first find out when Aunt Jiang left. When we went to bed last night, Aunt Jiang went up with us. At that time, Momo and Lu Zhi were still here. They were both night owls and probably only went to bed in the early morning. You can ask them if Aunt Jiang has been here during this period. If Aunt Jiang came down during their training, they would not have known it."
Ran Yu nodded: "Yes, there are no subway and buses here. If you want to go to the city, you can only drive or walk. I will wait and see if Aunt Jiang drives Lu Zhi's car out. If you drive, we can locate the current location of the car. If you don't drive and just walk, you will definitely not be far from here now, so it is very convenient for us to chase."
"Yes, yes, I'll go up and wake Lu Zhi up and ask him about what happened last night." Yu Le said, and immediately ran upstairs and knocked on Lu Zhi's door.
After a while, Lu Zhi put on his clothes and before Jiang Jinghe asked him, he took the initiative to answer: "Momo and I went to bed at 5 a.m. last night, we didn't see Aunt Jiang coming down. Even after we went up, Aunt Jiang went out. Now four hours have passed, if Aunt Jiang just walks, she probably won't walk far."
"A normal person probably only walks about fifteen kilometers in four hours, but we don't know which direction Aunt Jiang is heading..." Yu Le said.
What Yu Le said was not unreasonable, everyone was silent, and really didn't know where to find it.
Ran Yu could see the worry on Jiang Jinghe's face and couldn't help but comfort him: "Maybe Aunt Jiang is just going out to buy vegetables? I always feel that there is no reason for my aunt to run out alone. Last night, when everyone went to bed, wasn't it okay?"
"Yes, yes, Aunt Jiang was fine yesterday. After going up, she told each of us good night and asked us if we wanted to drink milk... I guess we were going out to buy vegetables, otherwise we would wait a little longer to see if she would come back later?" Lin Xiheng also interjected.
Jiang Jinghe forced a smile on his lips. He knew that everyone was afraid that he would worry, so he comforted him, but he also knew that his mother had a reason to run away.
That reason is what he said to Xia Li yesterday.
He obviously felt that after coming out of Xia Li's room, Jiang Lian was in a wrong mood, but she didn't say it directly, and did Jiang Jinghe ask. He thought that if he didn't ask about this kind of thing that would touch a bad mood, it would definitely disappear over time, as if it had never happened before.
However, this time, he was wrong. If he had asked clearly yesterday and explained it to his mother clearly, this might not have happened.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and Jiang Jinghe said, "I'd better go out and find it. Mom didn't drive out today. I'm afraid he'll get lost and can't find the way back."
Everyone looked at him, and after a while, Lu Zhi nodded first: "Well, there is a resort hotel nearby, which was run by Mingyu's father. I'll ask Mingyu if he can ask the hotel staff to help everyone find it."
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he called Wang Mingyu. Although Wang Mingyu agreed, Lu Zhi felt that his tone was a little bad, as if he was worried about something... Wang Mingyu had been connecting with the Education Association before, hoping to put the e-sports courses into the school. It was probably because he had encountered a stumbling problem with his negotiations with the Z department.
The exclusive hotel sent more than 100 employees to find Jiang Lian, but Jiang Jinghe was still worried and wanted to go out to find him by himself. Lu could not resist him and went out with him.
Although this lake is a famous scenic spot, it is particularly desolate one kilometer away from the lake. There is not even a village. It is full of endless wastelands and fields. If Jiang Lian is still nearby, there is really no place to hide.
Jiang Jinghe didn't know how long he had been running, but suddenly he saw Jiang Lian sitting alone on the ridge not far ahead, staring at the yard in a daze.
Jiang Jinghe hurried over and hugged Jiang Lian from behind, and she couldn't stop her tears, "Mom, why did you want to come out alone? You scared me to death..."
Jiang Lian was also shocked and gently took Jiang Jinghe's hand away, covering her face and not going to look at him.
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Jiang Jinghe asked worriedly: "What's wrong, mom? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Lian was silent for a long time, and finally said in a crying voice: "I want to commit suicide, but I can't bear to leave you..."
Jiang Jinghe was stunned for fear and immediately hugged Jiang Lian tightly: "Mom, why did you say that? Did I do something wrong?"
"No... it's not that you did something wrong, it's mine, I've become a burden to you, delaying you from pursuing true love..."
Jiang Jinghe guessed that this is the reason...
"Mom, no, you are not my burden, you are my only concern in this world and the source of my strength. Without you, it would be meaningless for me to do everything."
"Don't say that, I will die one day, but you still have to continue living in this world. You need your own life..."
Jiang Jinghe chuckled: "Mom, the rules of suicide and death are different. If you really commit suicide, then I will live in the shadows for the rest of my life. Do you want me to be unhappy for the rest of my life?"
Jiang Lian quickly shook her head: "No, that's not my purpose..."
