Chapter 950: 688 Q&A

"What’s wrong?"

After coming out of Imprint City, Xue Mingqin couldn’t help but ask.

Her daughter had said she was going to meet a friend, but when she returned, she seemed somewhat distracted.

"It’s nothing."

Li Shuru shook her head with a smile, helping her elders load their shopping bags into the car, "Let’s eat dinner out."

"Aren’t we going back to eat?"

Xue Mingqin couldn’t help but ask, "What about Little Jiang?"

"He’s got work; he won’t be coming back."

Li Shuru explained calmly.

Hearing this, Xue Mingqin didn’t press further.

Soon, the family drove to a local restaurant. Considering her mother’s taste preferences, Li Shuru didn’t choose a Western restaurant; instead, she picked a traditional private kitchen.

When they parked the car and went inside, while her mother and aunt were chatting, she took out her phone and texted Jiang Chen, informing him that they were dining out.

Her mind was quite muddled now, and before she figured out how to handle it, she didn’t want to face him just yet.

"Luoxia, you can order."

Instead of joining her brother and sister, Xue Mingqin deliberately sat next to her daughter, seeing Zou Luoxia focused on ordering, she softly asked again, "If there’s something, talk to mom. I’ve lived many more years, maybe I could offer some advice."

Li Shuru casually smiled while sorting the utensils, "Mom, really, it’s nothing."

"You gave birth to me. Do you think you can hide it from me? At first, you were fine, but later you became restless. What exactly is it?"

Li Shuru remained silent, not expecting her mother’s observation to be so sharp, or perhaps, was it her actions that were too conspicuous?

"Mom, please don’t ask."

Li Shuru’s smile faded.

Seeing this, Xue Mingqin grew more convinced that her daughter must have encountered some tough problem; otherwise, it wouldn’t impact her this much.

"If you think you can handle it, mom won’t ask."

Li Shuru looked at her mother, pursed her lips, and stayed silent.

"Sister, Rui Rui, take a look too."

Zou Luoxia finished ordering.

The mother and daughter didn’t chat further.

Even if she tried hard to control herself not to think about it, Wei Chu Yin’s tear-stained face and her despairing, sorrowful eyes involuntarily kept surfacing in her memory. Li Shuru tasted nothing, and even Zou Luoxia noticed.

"Rui Rui, what are you thinking about?"

Xue Mingqin continued eating without speaking.

Li Shuru paused her chopsticks and seemed about to speak, then stopped.

Zou Luoxia looked puzzled and instinctively thought about her own spending that day.

"Rui Rui, is it because you bought too many things for me and your aunt, and Little Jiang got angry?"

She said somewhat embarrassedly.

Of course, she knew where her niece’s money came from.

Li Shuru was startled, then quickly explained, "Aunt, you’re overthinking it. It has nothing to do with that, just..."

"Just what?"

Zou Luoxia asked curiously.

Li Shuru paused for a moment, then finally said, "I just heard that a friend of mine is sick, so I was a bit distracted."

"Is it a serious illness?"

Li Shuru nodded, softly saying, "Very serious."

"What illness?"

Zou Luoxia asked instinctively.

The atmosphere quieted for a while.

"Leukemia."

Hearing this, Xue Mingqin involuntarily put down her chopsticks.

Zou Luoxia showed a shocked expression, exchanging glances with Xue Mingqin.

The terror of leukemia is well-known; perhaps it’s not the most fearsome terminal illness, but its cure rate is also extremely low.

"How could she get this disease?"

Zou Luoxia muttered.

She had only heard about such a disease in the news, and it was her first encounter in real life.

"Who is this friend?"

Xue Mingqin asked her daughter.

"A former school senior."

"A girl?"

Zou Luoxia lamented, "Such a pity."

Indeed.

Leukemia.

Commonly known as blood cancer.

To most people, this disease seems very distant from everyday life, with most never encountering it in their entire lives. But once faced, it is a complete disaster.

Having this disease is as if the name were written in Yama’s Book of Life and Death.

"It’s all fate."

Xue Mingqin sighed deeply, having experienced life and death; she felt this situation more profoundly.

In the face of such illness, people are truly powerless.

"Are you very close to her?"

Faced with her inquiry, suddenly her daughter’s expression became very complicated.

"...She and Jiang Chen were very close."

"Is she Little Jiang’s friend?"

Zou Luoxia was caught off guard, then her brain started working.

Little Jiang’s friend?

And a woman.

Plus her niece acting this way...

Her mind began to wander.

Of course.

This time it wasn’t wild speculation.

Xue Mingqin seemed to have also guessed something, looked at her daughter, but didn’t rush to speak.

"Rui Rui, what do you mean by very close?"

Zou Luoxia ventured to ask.

Now that the conversation had reached this point, Li Shuru had no thought of continuing to hide, nor was there a need.

"She was Jiang Chen’s ex-girlfriend."

Zou Luoxia’s expression changed instantly, looking quite odd for a moment. She couldn’t help but look at her cousin, and prudently shut her mouth.

"The friend you went to see just now, was it this girl?"

Xue Mingqin asked.

"No, it was another senior, the two of them were very close."

"Did she come to tell you about that girl’s illness?"

Xue Mingqin continued asking.

She wasn’t a conservative parent; having an ex-girlfriend wasn’t a big deal.

"Yes. This senior has now cut off contact with everyone, no one knows where she is. The other senior came to find me just now to ask me to help inform Jiang Chen, to help locate her whereabouts."
