Chapter 283: Chapter 283: You Will Never Understand the Importance of Family!
Shen Lan furrowed her brows as Jiang Shixu suddenly appeared before her. She was about to scold him when her eyes caught the red rims of his eyes.
Indeed, it had always been Jiang Li accompanying him before, and his feelings for his sister ran deep.
Naturally, the news of Jiang Li facing a life and death situation was worrying to him.
At this time, if she were to scold him, it would certainly hurt him emotionally, especially since his intentions were good.
Thinking this, Shen Lan’s expression softened, and she slowly walked up to Jiang Shixu, gently touching his head.
“Shixu, Mom knows you’re really worried about your big sister, but your great-aunt and I are already quite drained from taking care of Jiang Yan. We can’t afford to be distracted caring for you too.”
Jiang Shixu sniffled and “hmmphed,” turning his head away.
“I’m almost an adult, I can take care of myself.”
Shen Lan was about to refute him, but then she remembered what Jiang Li had said to her.
— For a child like Jiang Shixu, who is sensitive at heart, openly expressing genuine emotions is the best way to communicate.
So she thought for a moment and said,
“But Shixu, as your mother, no matter how old you get, I will always worry about you and want to take good care of you. It’s not about whether you can take care of yourself.”
Jiang Shixu was stunned, then slowly turned his head back, only to see the earnest and sincere light in Shen Lan’s eyes.
He silently lowered his head again.
After a short pause, he spoke softly,
“I understand, I’ll stay at home and wait for you guys to come back… Mom.”
Shen Lan was extremely surprised.
After so many years, she had finally heard the word “Mom” from this child’s lips again, and she was filled with a myriad of emotions.
But she still didn’t forget the matter at hand; after giving him a few brief instructions, she hurried off with Lin Manru to catch their ride to the airport.
The Jiang Family home had become absolutely quiet now.
Jiang Shixu stood at the doorway, looking towards the end of the road, murmuring,
“Everyone must come back safely…”
But just as he spoke, he heard a light chuckle, realizing that Jiang Cheng had appeared in the front yard, seriously engrossed in a book.
Jiang Shixu’s face turned cold.
“It means exactly what it sounds like,” Jiang Cheng closed the book with a smile, “I’ve looked into it beforehand. The area where Jiang Li went missing is undeveloped, and if you go a bit further, it’s the edge of the Primordial Forest, a no-man’s land. Do you really think she can be found?”
Jiang Shixu clenched his fists, holding back the urge to punch him in the face for a long time.
But his tears spilled uncontrollably, like pearls snapped from a string.
“It’s not possible, big sister is the luckiest person in the whole world; she will definitely come back safely.”
“You cold-blooded bastard will never understand the importance of family!”
After he spoke, he ran off, wiping his tears.
Jiang Cheng’s expression darkened once more as those painful memories surged into his mind.
In his daze, that woman was screaming again, furiously throwing everything within reach at him.
“You whore, why were you even born?!”
“You should have never come into this world!”
“If it weren’t for you, I could have been happy; you’ve ruined everything for me!”
The hysterical screaming continued to pierce through his eardrums, sweat beads formed on Jiang Cheng’s forehead, and his body uncontrollably started to shake.
“Snap,” a book fell from his hand to the ground.
He wanted to bend down to pick it up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t muster the strength, and his legs uncontrollably gave way beneath him.
He struggled to support himself on his hands to prevent a complete fall, but feelings of asphyxiation surged into his forehead wave after wave.
Jiang Cheng laughed at himself mockingly.
It seemed like he was indeed going to be tormented by that crazy woman for the rest of his life.
At ten o’clock in the morning, Flash Change’s Weibo finally posted a message under the pressure of millions of people.
Shining Transformation Trip V: Sorry to all the fans, there indeed was an accident with our live-stream, and it’s temporarily halted. Please follow the official notice for subsequent updates and don’t spread rumors, thank you for your cooperation!
[Damn, even the official account has spoken, doesn’t this statement imply that Jiang Li and Jiang Yan had an accident?]
[OMG, I’m dumbfounded, yesterday I was watching these two bickering in the live stream, how come they’ve suddenly disappeared today?]
[I mean, what’s the production crew doing? How can two perfectly alive people just vanish without a trace? Can’t they give a straight answer?]
[Help, I saw someone leaked information saying Jiang Yan didn’t make it in the hospital this morning, is it true?]
[??? Don’t scare people damn it, could it be true? I saw pictures of him covered in blood on the internet, it’s really frightening.]
[Feels like the missing pair are more likely misfortunate than not, the place they disappeared from is very close to the Primordial Forest…]
Various comments swirled online for a time.
Su Yinwan was also surprised when she saw the hot search at first.
But when she confirmed over the phone that the missing person was Jiang Li, her mood suddenly brightened.
She had said it before, how could a mere bit part character compete for the spotlight with her, the leading lady?
Extras were just extras, and in the end, didn’t they all meet an accidental demise?
Just a pity though, who knew what had become of Jiang Yan, the second male lead, now?
If anything were to happen to him, she wouldn’t be able to complete her plot tasks.
Thankfully, the system reminded her in time:
[Dear host, key characters in the small world also have their own destiny value. They won’t go offline before their plots and tasks are completed.]
Su Yinwan felt relieved, then proceeded to make a show of posting a Weibo expressing her sorrow for the siblings, while also calling for more people to pay attention to the matter.
Once the message was released, it immediately became a hot search topic.
Because her Weibo post was tantamount to an indirect confirmation that the missing person was Jiang Li.
In an instant, the fans of Jiang Li and Jiang Yan plunged into immense grief.
Inside the training room, Bai Lu also saw Su Yinwan’s tweet and carefully approached the beautiful woman not far from her, cautiously reminding:
Su Yin restrained the impatience in her eyes and replied with a sweet smile, “What is it?”
“I saw the Weibo you just posted,” Bai Lu swallowed nervously, “Is it really appropriate to post ? After all, the police haven’t released the victim’s information yet, there’s…”
Su Yinwan interrupted her with an “Ah,” “But I did it because I’m worried about Jiang Li and Jiang Yan. After all, we’ve been shooting the variety show together for so long.”
Then she averted her gaze, “I have a press release to hurry on later, might not have time for small talk, sorry ha.”
The moment she turned around, Su Yinwan’s face darkened, and she called her assistant over.
“From now on, keep that woman away from me, don’t let her show up in front of me again, seriously bad luck!”
