Chapter 2042: Late Night Wind and Rain (2)

The night breeze was a little cold, and the red gauze ribbons that were decorated on the side were dancing in the wind. The corner of Leng Xinran’s skirt was slowly drifting in the night wind.

She did not pay too much attention to Lan Xiu. She turned around slowly, put her hands on the railing in front of her, and looked at the sky outside.

The night sky was naturally vast and boundless. It was rare that there were so many stars tonight. It was a clear night, and the stars were shining.

She had not planned to come tonight, but she still had to come to Qin Su’s wedding. Usually, she would not attend such occasions.

She had never liked lively occassions, and she was also very withdrawn. There were only a few people whom she was close to. Qin Su was one of them, and she was Leng Xinran’s only best friend.

Lan Xiu always felt that Leng Xinran was not a simple person. To have such a state of mind, she must be someone with a story, right?

Her calmness was not like Liuyun’s indifference after a period of silence. Instead, it was a kind of coldness that seeped from her bones. Apathy?

Was it because she had seen too many life-and-death farewells?

Lan Xiu had not forgotten her occupation. That was not something that normal people would do.

The information that Ah Li had found also said that Leng Xinran was a person with a lot of negative energy. Perhaps it was because she had been dealing with those things all year round that people would listen to her and be affected by it?

However, before he could say anything, Leng Xinran had already turned around and walked forward without saying anything.

“Miss Leng!”

Lan Xiu thought for a moment and finally called out.

Leng Xinran’s footsteps paused for a moment, but she did not turn back.

Lan Xiu did not move. He just looked at her figure silently. Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, he said with concern, “The night wind is biting. Take care of yourself. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Thank you. I’m not that afraid of the cold,” Leng Xinran replied. Just as she was about to walk forward, Lan Xiu’s voice sounded again. “Your father was optimistic about us when we visited the Leng residence last time.”

Lan Xiu’s tone was very calm. There was really no meaning to it. Leng Xinran stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned to look at him. Her cold eyes were calm—

“As long as I can leave the Leng family, any man will appear to be compatible with me.”

It was such a sarcastic remark, but there was no hint of sarcasm in her tone. It seemed that she had long been the kind of person who could erase all her emotions.

Lan Xiu was quiet. He met her bright eyes, but he could not see anything from them.

However, from the looks of it, her relationship with her father seemed to be very poor.

“…”

Leng Xinran did not say anything more. Lan Xiu watched her figure disappear into the light before him. After a while, he retracted his gaze and remembered what he wanted to do just now. Then, he quickly took out his phone from his pocket, he gave Dongfang Liuyun a call.

He had not seen Dongfang Liuyun today, so Lan Xiu was a little worried. Previously, he had said that he was going to pick her up, but she had said that she was going with Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, so he could only give up.

With Qi Lei in such a dire situation, he naturally could not let go of her now.

However, the call on the other end did not go through. The voice message indicated that the call could not go through for the time being

At this moment, at the intersection of De Feng Street, the Black Acura turned the traffic lights and slowly drove over. Soon, it stopped under the tree in front of De Bao House.

The surroundings were very quiet. There was no one around. After the fire, the place had become a little more desolate. Although Qi Lei had people renovate the place, it had been raining recently, so it was delayed. Therefore, the place was still in ruins, sitting in the car, one could feel that it was a little cold inside. In fact…

Dongfang Liuyun, who was in the driver’s seat, watched silently for a long time. After a moment, she took a breath and leaned against the back of the chair to close her eyes. After calming down, she pushed the door open and got out of the car.

She walked straight into the shop.

When she opened the door, the smell of the burn was still very strong, and it immediately assailed her nostrils.

She did not turn on the lights. Instead, she turned on the flashlight in her hand.

Most of the debris inside had been cleaned up. Qi Lei wanted to help her restore it to its original state, so many things here were similar to the previous ones.

Dongfang Liuyun directly passed through the hall and walked in the direction of the storage room at the back.

Uncle Ming had lived in a room next to the kitchen when he was alive. The window of the room was open to the river behind.

The fire had also burned down most of the room. The original layout of the room was very messy. This was an inner room, so there was no time to tidy it up. When Dongfang Liuyun walked in, she saw the paper scattered all over the floor by the light of the flashlight.

Uncle Ming had the habit of practicing calligraphy. He liked to practice calligraphy when he was free, so the words scattered on the floor were the ones he had practiced before.

Thinking of that kind and amiable old man, Dongfang Liuyun felt a dull pain in her heart. She bent down to pick up the papers that had fallen on the ground. After looking at them for a long time, her eyes could not help but burn.

After calming down for a long time, she placed the papers that she had collected on the broken table at the side and began to look around the entire room.

After looking at it for a while, she walked to the row of collapsed beds in the corner. She touched the windowsill by the bed and flipped over the tatami that had burned more than half of the tatami on the windowsill. Soon, she found the flagstone below. She removed the flagstone, there was a small secret compartment stuffed underneath. Inside was an iron box.

Dongfang Liuyun was naturally very familiar with this iron box!

She quickly opened the iron box. There was a document lying inside. When she flipped open the document and looked at it, Dongfang Liuyun’s body trembled…

As expected, she knew that Uncle Ming’s death was definitely not an accident!

“Uncle Ming… I’m sorry!”

She was always so indifferent and did not think that this thing was important, so she threw it in the store and casually placed it in the safe next to the outer hall. Uncle Ming also had the key.

When the accident happened, the safe had been squashed and the things inside had also been burned to the ground.

Moreover, Uncle Ming was a very neat person, so it was impossible for him to make his room so messy. Every time he finished practicing his calligraphy, he would put it away and put it neatly on the bookshelf at the side!

So, this was definitely not a normal fire. It was intentional!

With the document in her hand, Dongfang Liuyun was silent for a long time. Then, she sniffed and turned to leave.

…

Zhou Zimo and Qin Su’s wedding was successfully completed.

The guests dispersed very late at night. When Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye returned to Maple Residence, it was already midnight.

Mu Yuchen had been quite drunk as well, and Xi Xiaye had driven him all the way back.

As soon as he came back, he went upstairs to wash up and then went to bed to rest.

Xi Xiaye was worried about her son, so she called Shen Wenna. She was only relieved when she knew that the children were resting well.

They had been a holiday recently, and Shen Wenna had more time on her side, so she helped to take care of a few children. Xi Xiaye felt much more at ease, and she and Mu Yuchen could feel more relieved.
