Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 540 - 533: Not an Accident (Part 2)
The kindergarten Xiao Lang attends is not far from home. Soon, Grandma picked him up and returned, sighing heavily as they came through the door.
"On the way back, I saw a traffic accident. A taxi and a van collided; the taxi was completely overturned, crushed underneath the van. I heard people outside say two people died and were just taken away. Xiao Lang was still in the car, so I didn’t dare to look and hurried back home."
As she changed her shoes, Grandma spoke. Xiao Lang finished changing his shoes, ran straight into the bathroom to wash his hands, and then ran to the nursery to play with Xiao Xi.
Listening to Grandma’s words, Sister Liu felt uneasy. The old lady still didn’t know that Cheng Shishi had died. If she knew, she surely wouldn’t be able to withstand the blow.
"Huh? Where’s that girl Yiran? How did she disappear in such a short time?" Grandma glanced around but didn’t see any sign of Bai Yiran.
"Yiran..." Sister Liu forced a smile, quickly thinking of how to respond to Grandma’s question, "Sir just came back and took Yiran out to relax."
"Oh." Grandma nodded. All day, Bai Yiran hadn’t been herself. Grandma, having grown old, now viewed many things with detachment, but Yiran was different. She thought it was probably good for Leng Yichen to take Bai Yiran out to relax. "Okay, then prepare dinner for just a few of us tonight. They will probably eat outside."
Sister Liu nodded and escaped from Grandma’s sight, running to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Outside, sighs continued to come, "Ah, such is the unpredictability of the world! You never know if the next second’s accident might be your own. Cherish every second of life! Xiao Liu, you didn’t see the accident, but it was truly tragic! If the victim’s family finds out, they’d be heartbroken."
In the kitchen, Sister Liu peeled vegetables, tears streaming. Cheng Shishi was such a good girl, and just like that, she was gone.
Ultimately, Sister Liu felt the most heartache for Bai Yiran and the old lady. Knowing this news had already been too much for Bai Yiran to handle. As for the old lady, at her age, if she knew her granddaughter was gone, who knows...
"Sigh..." Sister Liu sighed deeply.
"Why are you sighing like an old person at such a young age all day long?" Grandma quietly walked into the kitchen.
Sister Liu quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve, not letting Grandma notice anything unusual. When she turned around, her face was already wearing a smile, "What are you looking for, Grandma?"
"Xiao Lang wants to eat an apple. I’m peeling one for him," Grandma said, picking up a fruit knife and starting to peel the apple with her back to Sister Liu.
Watching Grandma’s already hunched back, Sister Liu felt waves of sour pain in her heart.
They should hide it as long as possible; it would be best if Grandma never found out about this.
In the funeral home, Xia Lian fainted multiple times. Her daughter had really died, and in such a miserable way.
It wasn’t just Xia Lian; Cheng Gang couldn’t accept this fact either.
Bai Yiran leaned on Cheng Shishi’s side, crying so hard she could hardly breathe.
After Xia Lian fainted again and woke up, her eyes fell on Bai Yiran. Those eyes, full of sorrow and pain, instantly turned fierce. With a wave of her hand, using all her strength, she slapped Bai Yiran hard across the face.
Smack! The sound was loud and resounding!
The burning pain on her cheek instantly brought Bai Yiran’s consciousness back with a jolt, her tear-filled eyes looking at Xia Lian.
"Auntie..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
No one expected Xia Lian to slap Bai Yiran. Leng Yichen immediately supported Bai Yiran’s body, his narrow eyes fixed on Xia Lian.
Xia Lian stood up, eyes wild with anger, pointing at Bai Yiran, "It’s you! You killed Shishi! You harbinger of doom! Harbinger of doom!"
