It was as if thunder had exploded in her ears. Sang Qianqian suddenly froze, and her blood seed to stop circulating at this mont.

She didn’t say anything for a long ti. Ruan Xiaoshuang felt that sothing was wrong., so she asked, “Qianqian, what’s the matter?”

Sang Qianqian barely regained her senses. “No, it’s nothing.”

She tried her best to pretend to be nonchalant. “Did Xiaodie like drawing in the past? I’ve been treating her for so long, but 1 don’t think I’ve ever seen her draw anything.”

“She lived with my aunt since she was young. Perhaps she was greatly affected by my aunt’s death, so she’s no longer willing to hold a paintbrush.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang sighed softly. “However, she really liked drawing in the past. My aunt even hired a teacher for her. Her earliest drawings were like children’s doodles, but later on, they beca more realistic. When 1 went overseas to visit her, she would draw a picture for whenever she was in a good mood. However, her condition was unstable at that ti, so those kinds of situations were rare.”

She thought for a mont. “In total, the number of paintings 1 received in those years did not exceed ten.”

“Those paintings,” Sang Qianqian tried to ask, “Sister Xiaoshuang, do you still have them?”

“Yes, I kept them. They’re all in the Ruan family’s old mansion.”

At the ntion of the old house, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes flashed with sadness. “However, 1 don’t know if it’s still there.”

After Ruan Cheng’s death, the police went to the mansion to search for evidence of his cris. They practically turned the place upside down.

Even Ruan Xiaoshuang’s room was not spared.

Sang Qianqian lowered her voice. “Sister Xiaoshuang, can you look for those drawings? I want to see Xiaodie’s current state.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang thought that Sang Qianqian needed them for the treatnt. She thought about it and said, “Then I’ll go back and get them tomorrow.”

Perhaps because her ntality had changed, she wasn’t so resistant to the past. When she first returned to the Xie family’s residence a few days ago, accompanied by Xie Shi’an, she took Ruan Xiaodie to sweep the tomb of her brother, Ruan Cheng.

She had always wanted to return to the Ruan family’s old mansion one day.

“Sister Xiaoshuang, do you have ti later? If you do, I’ll go with you.” Sang Qianqian desperately wanted to see those paintings.

Ruan Xiaoshuang nodded. “Yes, but don’t you have to go to the Zhen family later?”

“There’s still ti. Let’s talk about it later.”

The sound of footsteps ca from outside the door, and Sang Qianqian imdiately fell silent.

Ruan Xiaodie had returned with the butler.

“Sister, what do you think this is?”

She was holding a green cicada in her hand, which was chirping.

Ruan Xiaoshuang heard the voice and imdiately laughed. “You asked Uncle Butler to catch cicadas for you again?”

“No, I caught it myself.”

Ruan Xiaodie showed a little pride. “Sister, you don’t know how skilled I am now at catching them. This cicada is green and very beautiful.”

“This sumr, Xiaodie has almost beco an expert at catching cicadas.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled and said, “The cicada population in the garden is decreasing.”

The old butler asked soone to bring a sarong over and nagged, “Third Miss, it wasn’t easy to catch this cicada. This ti, you have to take good care of it. You can’t let the cat tear it apart again, and you can’t throw the cicada into the fish tank…”

Ruan Xiaodie pouted. “But I want to know if it will cry in water.”

“It won’t cry in water because it can’t swim.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang explained with a smile, “It only cries when it’s on a tree.”

Sang Qianqian looked at Ruan Xiaodie, who was putting the green cicada into the small sarong carefully and attentively.

Sensing Sang Qianqian’s gaze, she looked up and smiled. “Sister Qianqian, do you like this cicada too?”

She was clearly pretty and had an innocent smile, but Sang Qianqian only felt a chill in her heart.

She shook her head gently.

Ruan Xiaoshuang asked, “Qianqian, do we still need to give Xiaodie acupuncture today?”

Sang Qianqian was not in a good condition to hold a needle. She was afraid that her hand would shake during the process.

“We can stop for a day.”

She said vaguely, “We’ll talk about it after Director Miao and 1 have confird the next stage of treatnt plan tomorrow. Xiaodie is in good condition now, so there should be a big adjustnt to the plan.”

Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoshuang was very happy. “Okay, then we’ll wait patiently.”

Sang Qianqian took out Ruan Xiaoshuang’s last eye examination results from her bag. “Also, the last examination results are out. The data is normal. Sister Xiaoshuang, you can start preparing for the surgery. 1’11 talk to the Opthalmology Departnt head. The surgery will be scheduled for three days later.”

“Three days later?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t expect the date to co so fast. “Then what do 1 need to prepare?”

“You don’t need anything. Just rest well, recuperate, and keep your emotions stable.”

Sang Qianqian asked, “Has Shi’an not returned yet?”

Xie Shi’an hadn’t been in Beijing much these days. It seed that there was a project going on overseas and he was on a business trip for that.

“Not yet.” Ruan Xiaoshuang shook her head.

Sang Qianqian said casually, “He seems to have been away for a week, right? I rember that he said that he would be back in two or three days at most.”

On the second day of his business trip, the incident with Song Guanhua happened. He had called Sang Qianqian to ask about the situation, so he knew about it.

“Originally, he had already finished his work, but sothing ca up at the last minute and he had to go to Europe.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang said worriedly, “I’m not sure when he will return.”

“It’s fine even if he doesn’t co back. It’ll be just fine if 1 accompany you instead during the surgery.”

Sang Qianqian comforted Ruan Xiaoshuang and asked, “What’s the matter with Shi’an? Did sothing happen?”

“It’s fine. It’s just that he’s really taking his ti.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t treat Sang Qianqian as an outsider, so she didn’t hide it from her. “My aunt’s house abroad, I think… It was robbed.”

Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat, but she acted as if nothing had happened. “A thief?”

“Yes, in the middle of the night, the butler found that there seed to be light in Xiaodie’s room and there were people.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang felt a little strange when she ntioned this. “When the butler went over, he found that there was no movent inside, and nothing disappeared. However, the surveillance caras in the house seed to have skipped over twenty minutes.”

The butler called the police, but the police did not find any suspicious signs. In the end, they attributed the pause of the surveillance caras to a system malfunction and determined that the light and figure that the butler saw were just his hallucinations.

However, the butler was very convinced that he did see light in Ruan Xiaodie’s room. He also vaguely saw a woman’s figure flashing by with the light.

The butler suspected that the manor was haunted.

That day, Xie Shi’an went to deal with the funeral affairs of Xiaodie’s aunt and brought Xiaodie back to the capital. Before he left, he entrusted the butler to take care of the house. After what happened, the butler called Xie Shi’an and said that he wanted to leave. He refused to stay in the house.

Xie Shi’an had no choice but to rush over to deal with this matter.

“I don’t know what’s going on with the current situation.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang was a little helpless. “Shi’an said that he checked carefully and indeed nothing was missing. There was nothing valuable in Xiaodie’s room, just so toys and other things…”

She thought of sothing and turned to Ruan Xiaodie, saying gently, “Your Brother Shi’an said that he accidentally found a few of your old picture albums when he went through the things in the house. He will bring those picture albums back for you.. Do you still rember the paintings you drew in the
