Chapter 30: Vanished Without a Trace

Weekend, at a bubble tea shop.

Ruan Yu bit on her straw and looked up at Mu Luoxi across from her, “What did you just say?”

Mu Luoxi blinked twice, thinking she hadn’t heard, and continued, “I got some inside information recently that Jiang Chen was crippled, he lost both his legs and became disabled. The Jiang family also abandoned him, their useless pawn. Tang Qingning turned around and got together with another man, she doesn’t want him anymore.”

“I did it,” Ruan Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at her, saying it casually, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Ruan Yu had been busy these past few days and hadn’t had time to meet Mu Luoxi, so she hadn’t told her about Jiang Chen coming to the Gu residence.

Mu Luoxi opened her mouth in shock, stammering, “You mean… Jiang Chen became disabled because of you?”

“It wasn’t me,” Ruan Yu said, “It was my bodyguard.”

Mu Luoxi was completely dumbfounded. The gentle little white rabbit could actually do such a bloody and violent thing. She was completely impressed.

Seeing Mu Luoxi’s surprised expression, Ruan Yu took a sip of her bubble tea and said, “He hurt Gu Yan Zhi, he deserved to die. Crippling his legs was a mercy.”

“Your Mr. Gu got hurt?” Mu Luoxi was still in shock.

“Yeah,” Ruan Yu said, “His hand was cut.”

Mu Luoxi: “…”

His hand was cut, and he crippled Jiang Chen’s legs?

She wasn’t feeling sorry for Jiang Chen’s fate, after all, he deserved it. But she never imagined that Ruan Yu had become a protective wife, she couldn’t bear to see her Mr. Gu get hurt. “A-Yu, you’re a real protective wife.”

Ruan Yu smiled and said nothing. Mu Luoxi continued, “I heard that Tang Qingning disappeared the night she left Jiang Chen, vanished without a trace. I don’t know if she couldn’t take it and committed suicide, or if she has a bigger scheme. A-Yu, you have to protect yourself until there’s news of Jiang Chen’s death.”

Ruan Yu frowned, vanished without a trace, she had a bad feeling about this, but she wasn’t worried about herself, she was worried about the girl in front of her.

She remembered that in the previous life, Jiang Chen and Tang Qingning had targeted Mu Luoxi, which ultimately led to her death. Tang Qingning had always held a grudge against her. Now that she had found a new sugar daddy, she wouldn’t let her and Mu Luoxi go. Jiang Chen’s whereabouts were unknown, knowing him, he wouldn’t commit suicide. As long as he wanted to, he would have a chance to stand up again.

This made her even more worried about Mu Luoxi. Tang Qingning and Jiang Chen had a deep grudge against her. “Luoxi, you have to be careful these days. You’ve been going to the Gu residence often recently, I’m afraid Tang Qingning will have a grudge against you. You also said that she found a new sugar daddy recently, I’m afraid she’ll do something to you.”

The events of the previous life were changing, making her unsure what would happen next. There was an unknown fear. This time, she was determined to protect the people around her and prevent them from being hurt again.

Mu Luoxi nodded, “I’ll be careful, don’t worry.”

“Call me if anything happens, I’ll be here.” Ruan Yu heard that Jiang Chen had vanished without a trace, and she had a bad feeling about it. She felt that something big was going to happen. She laughed lightly, “Also, remember to take care of Mom.”

Mu Luoxi teased, “It seems like you two are mother and daughter, and I’m an outsider. Mom is at home every day, nagging you, asking when you’ll come back for dinner. I, your own daughter, am superfluous at home.” Then she sighed helplessly.

Ruan Yu looked at her face, which was full of resentment, and smiled lightly, “I’ll go back to see Mom when I have time. I’ve been a little busy recently, the coffee shop is also being renovated. I’m planning to open on May 20th, next month. What do you think?”

“That’s a good date,” Mu Luoxi nodded in agreement, she agreed with the date she chose, “Then I’ll quit a few days in advance. There will be a lot of preparations before the opening, I’ll come and help. I can finally get away from that unscrupulous boss, just thinking about it makes me happy.”

Although she was unhappy with her boss, she was often called up in the middle of the night to do paperwork, but she endured it. She graduated from a normal university, she didn’t have a good degree, and it was already good enough to find a stable job with a stable income.

But in the two years she had been at this company, she had basically had no free time, she was at the beck and call of her boss.

Plus, the boss knew her family situation, he knew she wouldn’t quit easily, so he treated her like a soft persimmon. This time, she was going to slam her resignation letter in the face of that unscrupulous boss who exploited his employees.

Just thinking about it was very satisfying.

Back at the Gu residence, Gu Yan Zhi had already returned from work, he was sitting lazily on the sofa, his long legs crossed casually.

When Ruan Yu saw him, she narrowed her eyes and threw herself into his arms, “You’re back.”

Her voice was soft and sweet, it made Gu Yan Zhi’s heart itch, he wanted to hold her tightly, to rub her into his body.

“Where did you go today?” Gu Yan Zhi’s pleasant voice came from above her head, his hands tightly clasped around her slender waist.

“I went to see Luoxi today. She said that Mom wanted to see me. Do you want to go with me to see Mom next time?” Ruan Yu looked up at him from his arms, her eyes sparkling.

“Okay.” Gu Yan Zhi chuckled softly.

Ruan Yu pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said, “Yan Zhi Ge Ge, Jiang Chen vanished without a trace, Tang Qingning is with another sugar daddy.”

Gu Yan Zhi’s eyes darkened slightly after hearing Ruan Yu’s words.

Was she regretting doing that?

He didn’t say anything, he just stared at her blankly. Ruan Yu continued, “Luoxi is close to me, she had a conflict with Tang Qingning because of me a few days ago. Now she hates Luoxi to the bone. I’m afraid something might happen to Luoxi, can you arrange some bodyguards to protect her for a while?”

After hearing Ruan Yu’s words, his gloomy expression softened a little. He said, “Asking me to do something for you comes with a fee, do you have any money, A-Yu?”

Ruan Yu blinked, shook her head, “I don’t have any money.”

“No money is fine.” Gu Yan Zhi’s eyes fixed on her crimson lips, he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbed, “I don’t want money, I want A-Yu…”

As he spoke, Gu Yan Zhi carried Ruan Yu upstairs. Ruan Yu remembered that she had promised Jiang Shiqing that she would go back to the old house for dinner with Gu Yan Zhi. Today was just the weekend.

While Ruan Yu was thinking, Gu Yan Zhi had already thrown her on the bed and leaned over.

Ruan Yu’s small hand rested against his chest, “I want to see Auntie, you accompany me, let’s go back to the old house together.”

“Really want to go?” Gu Yan Zhi asked. He always felt that Ruan Yu was strange these days, but he couldn’t say what was wrong.

Ruan Yu nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, then Gu Yan Zhi lightly pecked her lips, “Then get up and get ready, let’s go.”

She got out of bed and opened the closet, she didn’t know which dress to wear, she was in the middle of deciding when…
