Chapter 11: Nightmares
At ten o'clock in the night, Bai Yujie changed into pajamas and was about to go to bed, but there was a knock on the door.
"Brother, have you slept?"
He opened the door and saw his sister Bai Jie standing at the door of his room.
"Brother, the An family called just now to say that An Ruo'er is missing. Mom said you'd better go and check it out. ”
Bai Yujie's expression did not change when he heard this, but said: "Let the driver equip the car." And he closed the door.
Bai Jie touched her nose, "So calm." "She still has a lot of scenes that she hasn't used.
Why did An Ruoer encounter such a thing? She pondered, and was about to leave, when the door was opened again, and she looked at her brother, who had already changed his clothes.
"Where's the car?"
"Oh, Mom is ready." She replied tightly.
Looking at her brother who walked out, she thought to herself, is this little sister-in-law of hers going to come true this time?
Bai Yujie just got into the car and looked at his sister who followed into the car. "What are you doing here?"
The driver of the Bai family drove the car out of the white house.
His sister was not a very enthusiastic person, and it was strange for him to be so positive.
"It's all my own family, of course I have to help. Brother, you said that An Ruoer can pass the selection of our daughter-in-law, she should be super innocent, and her behavior is well-behaved enough, why did she suddenly disappear? ”
Bai Yujie was silent, but he was also listening carefully to what she had to say.
"Could it be because we are involved in other people's affairs, otherwise why didn't we have an accident before, but something happened after I met you?"
Her judgment is completely rational and objective, no matter how you look at it, their family should be more aggressive. The Bai family has been in business for so long, and there are not many enemies, and An Ruoer is more likely to be innocently implicated.
"What do you think?" Xiao Jie's wit has always been above him, and he also wants to hear her opinion.
"If you start with our family, it would be more reasonable if the business opponent also started with the two of us, so according to my analysis, there will only be one person who will do this kind of thing."
He understood who she was referring to. "Zhen'er didn't go back to France with her uncle."
"Anyway, I didn't go to see him off, did you go?" From childhood to adulthood, as long as she cried, her uncle would not agree to her. Bai Jiecai didn't believe that according to Jiang Zhen'er's character, she would leave the country so easily.
"Go to Jiang's house." Bai Yujie ordered and changed the route.
"Yes." The driver immediately turned the car around and drove towards Jiang Ruyue's home.
Whether Jiang Zhen'er has left or not, you must go and see for yourself.
His heart was as dark as the night outside the car, was An Ruoer really suffering from this unwarranted disaster because of him?
It was almost eleven o'clock at night when I arrived at Jiang's house, and there was a faint lightning in the night sky, and the wind began to rise, and it was raining.
An Ruo'er was in fear until the night was getting deeper, and she fell asleep in a daze of constant self-comfort, not noticing that the cabin began to shake more and more, and that there were loud and rapid raindrops crashing on the cabin.
Not only was there a wind on the sea, but lightning was sweeping through the sky.
An Ruo'er fell into a nightmare.
The rain was heavy, and the six-year-old was awakened by lightning, and she saw that the window on one side was wide open, and the white curtain was blown by the wind, like a white faceless monster. The lights were on in the house, but she was the only one on the bed, and her mother was gone.
They live by the sea, and my mother looks at the distant sea every day. Sometimes, I would wake up in the middle of the night and find her, only to find out that she had been wandering outside on the beach.
But it's raining a lot outside, will Mom be outside? She put on her raincoat and rain boots, and the lights outside the house were on, shining on a little bit of the sea not far away.
She seemed to see her mother's figure, she was walking into the sea, she had already stepped out of the sea where the light was shining, and if it weren't for the white pajamas, and the white light that kept flashing in the sky, she would hardly have noticed her.
"Mommy......" she shouted as she ran in fear.
She didn't know what her mother was going to do, but she was very scared.
The dark sea is like a giant beast waking up from its slumber in the wind to devour its mother.
The heavy rain drowned out her shouts, and her mother turned back without hearing her shouts.
She continued to chase and run, and as soon as her feet slipped, she tumbled and fell into the icy sea, and in an instant the roofless sea water grabbed her tightly in its arms like a devil.
"Mom......" An Ruo'er was suddenly frightened awake, but before she could calm her nightmare, she was frightened by the fact that the whole wooden house was shaking violently.
She had a wet touch on her hands because she was sleeping on a wooden plank, so it couldn't be that seawater had seeped into the wooden house.
She sat up in fright, and shook so loudly that it seemed to shake the cabin apart at any moment.
She rushed to the door and slammed the door hard and shouted, "Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang...... Is there anyone......"
She felt that the awakened monster in her dream had reappeared, and even from the fear in her heart, she felt that it must have been after her, because she should have been its prey when she was six years old.
The driver stopped the car and held an umbrella for Bai Yujie, and Bai Jie held an umbrella by himself.
Seeing that it was the young master and young lady of the Bai family, the person guarding the door hurriedly opened the iron door, although it was already late, but he still hurried to report.
Jiang Ruyue said that it was too late and refused to see it.
She is still haunted by the last time she went to the Bai family to propose marriage but was refused.
Turned away from the door, Bai Yujie's eyes were heavy, and he was about to go inside, the gatekeeper wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to really do it, so he could only watch the two enter the house.
Jiang Ruyue was still quarreled, she glared at the Bai brothers and sisters with an angry face, "Three watches in the middle of the night, why are you coming to me to make trouble?" ”
"Aunt Jiang, we're not here to trouble you, we have something to find Jiang Zhen'er." Bai Jie said with a smile.
It is said that reaching out does not hit the smiling person, and the door does not refuse the smiling customer. What's more, Bai Jie and Jiang Ruyue didn't have any dislikes, and Jiang Ruyue's face softened a little for her.
"Jane's ...... Didn't you follow Rewin to France, if you want to find it, go to France to find it. ”
Jiang Ruyue insisted that Jiang Zhen'er was not there, and mentioning this matter made her glare at Bai Yujie angrily.
Bai Jie didn't believe it, "No, I asked the gatekeeper of your house outside just now, and he said that Aunt Jiang and Sister Zhen'er have both of you already slept." She easily broke Jiang Ruyue's promise.
Just now she deliberately mentioned Jiang Zhen'er to the gatekeeper outside, just in case Jiang Zhen'er avoided it, so although she and her brother ran in, they couldn't search everywhere.
Jiang Ruyue didn't feel a little embarrassed to be caught. "What if Zhen'er didn't leave, your Bai family also deceived people too much. I don't want Zhen'er to marry into your family's door, and I want us Zhen'er to avoid you and go to France. ”
"Aunt Jiang, let's talk about this matter slowly in the future, since Jiang Zhen is here, let her come out, my brother has something to say to her."
Bai Jie didn't argue with her about these things, and the top priority now was to find out Jiang Zhen'er.
And she also believed that Jiang Zhen'er must be hiding in the dark to eavesdrop on them now, so she deliberately used her brother to lure her out.
Bai Jie's guess was not wrong at all, Jiang Zhen'er had actually been eavesdropping upstairs for a long time, and when she saw Bai Yujie, she wanted to come out to see him, but she was currently unable to show up in France.
Now that she had been discovered, she simply walked out.
"Brother Xiaojie." Jiang Zhen'er, who was wearing pajamas, happily ran to Bai Yujie's side.
"Did you come to see me?"
Every time she went to look for him, he would avoid him, and now she finally saw him again.
"Zhen'er, did you find An Ruo'er?" Bai Yujie asked her.
Jiang Zhen'er couldn't help but feel a slight thorn in her heart when she heard him mention An Ruo'er, although she had long known that he would appear here now, it must be for that woman.
"yes, I went to talk to her today. I told her to stop pestering you with delusions, and even if she was self-aware, she had promised not to see you again. ”
She smiled innocently. Even if An Ruo'er hasn't told her in person yet, she believes that after being closed in a cabin on the sea overnight, she knows that she is afraid.
"Where's An Ruo'er?" Bai Jie didn't listen to her nonsense, and asked directly.
"She promised me, naturally I won't pay attention to her anymore, who knows where she is." Jiang Zhen'er's frank appearance.
"What's the matter, isn't she coming home so late, I think she must have gone crazy somewhere."
Bai Yujie frowned slightly, he didn't completely believe Jiang Zhen'er's words, but since she was only willing to admit to meeting but not admitting to hiding people, if she asked again, I am afraid she would not be able to ask anything.
Jiang Ruyue had already stood up to see off the guests.
"Mom, it's so late, and the weather outside is not good, why don't you stay with my brother and sister at our house for one night."
Jiang Ruyue understood her daughter's thoughts, and although she was displeased, she didn't say anything.
Seeing that her mother acquiesced, Jiang Zhen'er was very happy, and was about to persuade Bai Yujie to stay, but Bai Yujie had already spoken first: "I still want to find An Ruo'er, so I won't bother." ”
"Brother Xiaojie......"
Bai Jie looked at Jiang Zhen'er whose eyes were glued to her brother, and she had to find a way to take Jiang Zhen'er out of Jiang's house first.
"Zhen'er, my brother and I have to look for it again, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the An family - do you want to come and help find it together."
"You find someone to ask Zhen'er to help, Zhen'er won't go." Jiang Ruyue was the first to disagree.
"I ...... I'm going to help too. Looking at Bai Yujie, who was about to be pulled away by Bai Jie, Jiang Zhener was still reluctant, this was a rare opportunity to get along with Bai Yujie.
Jiang Zhen'er changed her clothes, the three of them got into the car, and Bai Yujie asked the driver to drive to settle down first.
