Chapter 879: Chapter 879 Look, this is your grandma Chapter 879: Chapter 879 Look, this is your grandma When Shen Chi was not at ho, Xu Chaomu missed him a lot, but she dared not call to say she missed him, as that would surely distract him.
While at ho, she ca across the journal that Mo Shuifu had given her, Uncle Mo’s journal.
Tucked inside the journal was the photo Mo Shuifu had given her, on which her mother was pictured with her and Shui Fu, their smiles pure and bright.
The only photo, though yellowed with age, held many, many mories for her.
She had flipped through the journal from beginning to end already, but there was little about her mother, as most of it dealt with the Mo Family’s daily life.
Her gaze lingered on the few pages about her mother, which recounted Uncle Mo taking her mother to the hospital and encountering an old friend.
Xu Chaomu truly hadn’t known that just before the accident occurred, her mother had been ill.
Perhaps she was too young, or her mother had hidden it too well, as she was completely unaware of this.
Moreover, Uncle Mo ntioned her mother t an old friend in the hospital. Who was this friend? Male or female?
Was it Zhou Ran? Xu Chaomu imdiately dismissed this possibility.
It definitely wasn’t Zhou Ran, because Uncle Mo’s journal stated that her mother felt comfortable after eting this friend. The relationship between her mother and Zhou Ran must have been tense; otherwise, Zhou Ran wouldn’t have plotted to murder her.
Zhou Ran certainly regarded her mother as an enemy because Zhou Ran liked Shen Cexian.
So…was it Shen Cexian? Xu Chaomu wasn’t sure.
But she thought, her mother definitely did not like Shen Cexian, a conclusion she reached from the nurous conversations she overheard between Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian.
If she didn’t like him, then their eting surely wasn’t a pleasant one.
Xu Chaomu, holding the journal, was lost in thought. She couldn’t think of anyone else besides those two.
Unfortunately, Uncle Mo had already passed away; otherwise, he could surely identify who her mother’s old friend was back then.
The journal had already turned yellow, the pages giving off a musty sll of decay when leafed through, as if bearing the traces of ti.
Xu Chaomu was familiar with the contents of those pages, which she had read many tis.
The old photograph lay beside the journal, and sotis when she looked at it, she would sigh softly.
She caressed her belly and pointed to her mother in the photo, saying to the little one inside, “Baby, look, this is your Grandma.”
The little bun didn’t react, but Xu Chaomu gently stroked her belly with a look of tender love.
Her mother was the little bun’s Grandma, but what about Zhou Ran… would she have the generosity to let the little bun call her Granny one day?
She admitted she didn’t, and she truly couldn’t do it.
Not going after evidence was already her last concession…
But, at that mont, she really wanted to invite Zhou Ran to et.
With that in mind, she looked up Zhou Ran’s mobile number from the Shen Family’s address book. However, as she stared at the number, her head bowed, she never quite pressed the call button.
Her heart was racing wildly, fingers trembling.
The image of Zhou Ran’s face surfaced before her eyes once more. Thirteen years ago, Zhou Ran was like a Fairy untouched by mortal troubles, appearing in her mind as beautiful and aloof, like a secluded orchid.
Latter, when she was eighteen, and Zhou Ran wanted her to leave the Shen Family voluntarily, the image of Zhou Ran in her mind changed.
Everything about Zhou Ran that was beautiful in her mind collapsed on the night aboard the cruise ship five years ago.
Five years later upon her return, she didn’t harbor as many sentints, but she simply couldn’t feel any fondness for an executioner.
Even after five years, she always maintained a cold and distant deanor towards Zhou Ran.
But today, she wanted to reach out to her to talk about so matters.
Looking at the number for what felt like over ten minutes, Xu Chaomu finally made up her mind and pressed call.
After a few seconds, soone on the other end picked up.
“Hello, you’ve reached ,” said Zhou Ran, obviously unaware that it was Xu Chaomu’s number.
Xu Chaomu composed herself for a few seconds, trying hard to calm her racing heart.
Finally, she took a deep breath and said calmly, “Aunt Zhou, it’s , I’d like to talk to you.”
Her tone was very bland, so devoid of any emotional color that it was like a still lake without a ripple.
Zhou Ran had not expected Xu Chaomu at all since the last ti Shen Chi brought her to the hospital room to force Shen Cexian to sign the papers, she had never seen Xu Chaomu again.
She hadn’t expected that the girl would take the initiative to call her.
“What do you want to talk about? I’m afraid I don’t have the spare ti to chat with you,” Zhou Ran said indifferently, her voice slightly unfriendly.
“Half an hour, et at the coffee shop, okay?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“Really sorry, I have a lot of things to do and no spare ti to talk to unimportant people.”
“Ten minutes.”
“Just say it over the phone.” Zhou Ran compromised.
She was curious what Xu Chaomu really wanted to tell her.
“I have sothing to show you,” Xu Chaomu said.
“I think I’m not very interested.”
Xu Chaomu’s hand holding the phone paused for a mont, and after a while, there was a hint of disappointnt in her voice, “If that’s the case, then I’m sorry for bothering you.”
Zhou Ran didn’t want to see her, and there was nothing she could do. She certainly wasn’t going to go to the Luo Family dical Group to look for Zhou Ran.
Just as Xu Chaomu was about to hang up the phone, a faint voice ca from the other end.
“Nanyuan Coffee’s main store, now,” Zhou Ran said crisply, dropping just a few words.
Imdiately after, Zhou Ran hung up the phone.
There was no sound from the phone anymore. Xu Chaomu knew that this was Zhou Ran’s style, crisp and to the point, without any dillydallying.
She put away her phone and walked down the stairs.
“Butler Ling, Butler Ling, is Xiaogao around? I want to go out,” Xu Chaomu called out.
“Chaomu, take it easy, where do you want to go?” Butler Ling quickly ca out and supported Xu Chaomu as she descended the stairs.
“Just going out for a walk,” Xu Chaomu didn’t say much.
“Do you want to accompany you?” Butler Ling asked worriedly.
“No need, just have Xiaogao go with .”
“All right, I’ll call Xiaogao for you, please wait a mont,” Butler Ling said.
After saying that, Butler Ling went to call Xiaogao, and Xu Chaomu stood at the door, waiting quietly for Xiaogao.
It wasn’t long before Xiaogao drove the car to the doorstep.
Butler Ling helped Xu Chaomu into the car, repeatedly warning her, “Chaomu, be careful, don’t stress yourself out, and call if anything happens.”
“Sure, I’ll be fine,” she replied.
“Xiaogao, take extra care of the fourth young madam,” Butler Ling told Xiaogao.
Since it was dayti, Butler Ling wasn’t too worried, especially since Xiaogao was tall and strong and surely capable of keeping an eye on Xu Chaomu.
“Will do, rest assured,” Xiaogao said, patting his chest.
Xu Chaomu got into the car, and Xiaogao started the vehicle.
Xiaogao was a bit more lively than Old Cheng. When Xu Chaomu rode in Old Cheng’s car, she mostly stayed silent, but Xiaogao was more talkative.
He said, “Fourth young madam, the fourth young master is coming back today.”
“Mhm, he’s called already, you’ll pick him up at the airport later.”
“Certainly, I’m always at your service,” Xiaogao replied.
Xu Chaomu smiled but said nothing more.
