Out of control and sinking

Chapter 389 hasn't even reached the ending yet!

Su Tiantian: "Then tell me after you finish watching the finale. I also really want to know if the two of them ended up together."

Jiang Ruan suddenly asked her, "So, do you want them to be together?"

Without even thinking, Su Tiantian replied, "Of course, who doesn't like love stories?"

As she said this, Su Tiantian smiled sweetly, her little face full of longing for love.

This silenced Jiang Ruan completely.

Su Tiantian's demeanor didn't seem fake; she genuinely had no memory at all.

Jiang Ruan asked her, "Tian Tian, have you ever been in a relationship?"

Su Tiantian said "Ah," and replied, "No."

Jiang Ruan asked in surprise, "You're already twenty-four, and you've never been in a relationship even once?"

Su Tiantian shook her head: "I didn't."

"My parents told me to study hard."

"But I don't know why, I always feel like I'm missing something."

Jiang Ruan's attention was drawn: "What?"

Su Tiantian looked at Jiang Ruan on the other end of the video, biting her lip lightly. She raised her hand and placed it on her chest: "I feel like there's nothing here with me."

Jiang Ruan watched as her hand rested on her chest, her pupils slightly contracting. Was her heart empty?
"I don't like anyone, so I don't date," Su Tiantian said wistfully.

Suppressing her shock, Jiang Ruan comforted her: "Don't think too much, Tian Tian. Just let things take their course. You're so cute, you might find your own love in the future."

Hearing this, Su Tiantian's eyes sparkled: "Really?"

Jiang Ruan: "Of course."

They chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

Su Tiantian is going to sleep; she has to get up early for class tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ruan lay in bed, tossing and turning, pondering the matter over and over.

When Bo Ye pushed the door open and came in, she was lost in her own thoughts and didn't even glance at the man.

She changed her clothes and washed up on her own. Bo Ye walked over in slippers, her feet dangling lightly by the bedside, her toes white and tender.

Bo Ye glanced at it, his voice magnetic: "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ruan turned her head sharply and then noticed him: "When did you get back?"

Bo Ye: "Ten minutes ago."

Jiang Ruan was confused: "Huh?"

"You seemed lost in thought, so I didn't want to disturb you." Bo Ye got into bed, lay down next to her, and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong?"

Leaning against the man's chest, Jiang Ruan took his large hand and gently squeezed his well-defined fingers with her delicate hand: "Nothing happened."

"I just called Su Tiantian."

Bo Ye remained calm: "Mm."

“I tested her, but she acted as if she really knew nothing. She told me that her heart was empty.”

Jiang Ruan frowned: "Bo Ye, do you think it's possible that she actually has amnesia?"

Bo Ye was slightly surprised: "Amnesia?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Yes, it means that people can lose part of their memory under extreme stimulation or after external injury."

"Based on our judgment of her, it's absolutely impossible for two people in this world to look so alike, completely identical. She is indeed Duan Tiantian. But she has no memory. So the probability of her having amnesia is quite high."

Bo Ye paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Then let's find a doctor to take a look at her."

“No,” Jiang Ruan refused. “Taking her to see a doctor so abruptly will definitely make her wary.”

“I need to think of a way to get her to cooperate without arousing suspicion,” Jiang Ruan said.

Jiang Ruan sighed, "It's so difficult."

Bo Ye felt somewhat helpless seeing her worried.

He stroked her long hair with his palm: "Take your time, no rush."

Jiang Ruan looked at him with her dark eyes: "Why did I go to so much trouble? But the more I get to know her, the more I really like her. She's so innocent and kind. She's so wonderful, like a pure girl who doesn't know the ways of the world."

Jiang Ruan sighed, "This is the Snow White type that I used to admire the most."

Bo Ye found it increasingly absurd: "She's over twenty years old, and she's still so innocent and kind?"

"So what?" Jiang Ruan said, "Anyway, every time I get close to her, I feel that she is particularly well-behaved and particularly innocent."

Bo Ye: "Is it possible that she's just pretending?"

Jiang Ruan wanted to say something more.

Bo Ye interrupted: "Otherwise, it's possible that he has really lost his memory. Amnesia can make a person's mind like that of a child."

Jiang Ruan: "That's what I think too."

Jiang Ruan sighed, "I'll try again."

"If all else fails, stop messing around. Just let me give her information to that person, and whatever happens will be none of your or my business," Bo Ye said coldly.

“No.” Jiang Ruan refused without thinking. She took his wrist, and the string of Buddhist beads appeared before her eyes. She said seriously, “You don’t believe in Buddhism, but I do. I have to accumulate blessings for you so that you can live a long and healthy life.”

As Bo Ye listened, his Adam's apple bobbed violently. He pinched Jiang Ruan's chin with his fingertips and then hooked it up.

Their eyes met, and his dark eyes were like a deep pool, making it impossible to see his true emotions, yet one couldn't help but fall into them.

In contrast, Jiang Ruan's dark eyes were bright and clear.

It looks so appealing that you can't help but want to get your hands on something from it.

Bo Ye lowered his head, his thin lips slowly approaching her red lips, and Jiang Ruan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He kissed the corner of her lips before kissing her lips, cupping the back of her neck in his palm and pushing her forward as if she were the one taking the initiative.

Jiang Ruan's hand, resting on his chest, gripped the fabric of his shirt. His kiss was both tender and forceful.

Bo Ye only released her when her cheeks turned red and she couldn't breathe, teasing her with a panting tone, "With such a sweet tongue, no wonder you're so good at talking."

Jiang Ruan blushed and glared at him.

Bo Ye kissed her forehead: "I'll listen to you on this matter."

"But there's no need to envy others. You're no worse than her. You've always had those wonderful qualities like kindness and innocence."

Jiang Ruan laughed: "Are you praising me?"

Bo Ye smiled and said, "Yes, I'm praising you."

As he spoke, he took her hand and hooked his index finger around her ring finger.

He was so nonchalant that Jiang Ruan didn't notice.

I just feel a little itchy.

As her belly grew bigger and her due date drew closer, Li Xin became increasingly anxious.

After the child is born, she will likely undergo various tests at the hospital. If something is accidentally discovered and Rong Cheng finds out, she will be completely ruined.

Given Rong Cheng's personality, he certainly won't let her off easily.

Li Xin regretted it; she shouldn't have kept the baby when she found out she was pregnant.

She never expected to fail to establish a connection with the Huang family. Instead, she's stuck with this old geezer, and now she's exhausting herself trying to please him.

Things had already come to this point. Li Xin's regrets were useless now. She had to come up with a foolproof plan.

And so, a terrible plan formed in her mind.

Li Xin clenched her fists. Since she became pregnant, Rong Cheng had rarely come back.

When she returned, she was also covered in perfume.

Li Xin had someone follow him, and it turned out that he had been having an affair and was keeping another woman on the side.

Li Xin refrained from making a scene because she never truly loved him; her subservience was solely for his money.

It's actually a good thing for her that he's not coming back.

Gathering her thoughts, Li Xin called her agent and asked him to meet her.

At the coffee shop, Li Xin's agent hadn't seen her since she became pregnant. The agent was quite surprised that she suddenly asked to meet up today. The agent jokingly asked Li Xin, "Mrs. Rong, what brings you here today?"

Li Xin was too lazy to waste words with him. With a sharp look in her eyes, she took out a stack of documents from her bag and placed them in front of him: "Take a look at these."

"What's this."

When the agent picked it up, he discovered that it was all about his tax evasion and various indecent photos.

His face instantly darkened: "You had someone follow me."

"Li Xin, don't forget, I'm the one who helped you get to where you are today."

“Yes.” Li Xin’s lips curled into a sneer: “Without you, how could I have gotten into that old geezer Rong Cheng’s bed? I really have to thank you.”

"What are you doing now? Trying to burn bridges after you've crossed the river?"

"I want you to do me a favor. Don't pretend with me. You're no good either. You're in the same boat as me. If you agree, I'll give you 40% of Rongcheng's assets after it's done."

"If you don't agree, don't blame me for sending these things out and ruining you."

"This evidence should be enough to get you in jail, right?" Li Xin said with a smile.

The agent clenched his fist: "You dare threaten me!"

"So what if it's a threat?" Li Xin picked up her coffee and took an elegant sip. "I'll give you five minutes. You make your own choice: do you want a future, or do you want to spend the rest of your life stuck in JY?"

How could he possibly give up his future?

"Li Xin, you're a madwoman."

Li Xin: "Thank you for the compliment."

Now that things have come to this, no matter how much the agent hates her, he can't let her ruin herself.

His chest was filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth: "What do you want me to do?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "It seems you've agreed to my request."

"Do I have any other choice?"

"Indeed, there isn't."

Li Xin stopped playing hide-and-seek with him and directly told him what she wanted to do.

The agent never expected that she would cause Rong Cheng's death, and she was completely dumbfounded: "Are you crazy? He's your husband."

"How could you be so heartless and insane?"

Li Xin scoffed, "Husband? He's old enough to be my father, what kind of husband is he? He's going to die sooner or later anyway, so I might as well send him on his way and save him from getting in my way."

"No, I can't help you with this. If we get found out, we're both doomed."

Li Xin coldly replied: "Do you think you still have a choice?"

After Li Xin used various threats and inducements, the agent was finally forced to agree to the matter.

When he left, his eyes were filled with hatred.

But Li Xin pretended not to see it, drinking her coffee while her mind was filled with the thought that she wished Rong Cheng would die right now.

The thought that Rong Cheng was gone and all his assets would be hers made Li Xin's lips curl into a smile.

The temperature is getting higher and higher.

On a sunny afternoon.

The news suddenly brought devastating news: Rong Cheng, the director of the Beijing Municipal Finance Bureau, had tragically died in a car accident the night before.

According to the investigation, he was driving after drinking alcohol.

The car's brakes malfunctioned without being noticed. While crossing the bridge, the car suddenly stopped working, and Rongcheng drove the car through the railing and into the river, where it exploded.

Rong Cheng is dead.

When Jiang Ruan heard the news, she was talking to Sister Qin about the new contract. She casually took out her phone, and this news popped up on the screen.

Jiang Ruan's eyes widened: "Rong Cheng is dead!"

He died in a car accident!

Sister Qin didn't care: "So what if he's dead? With him gone, Li Xin has no one to rely on. It'll save her from trying to extort money from you again after she gives birth."

“If I remember correctly, Li Xin’s due date should be approaching.” Jiang Ruan clicked her tongue: “But at this time, Rong Cheng suddenly died.”

Sister Qin: "This child isn't Rongcheng's..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sister Qin suddenly understood what Jiang Ruan meant. She looked outside and said, "Could it be that Li Xin was behind this? Did Rong Cheng find out something, and in order to protect herself and her child, she simply killed Rong Cheng?"

"This woman is truly vicious."

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "I don't know."

"You see, the news says that Rongcheng was driving under the influence of alcohol, his brakes failed, and that's why he fell into the river."

Sister Qin: "The more I look at it this way, the more I feel that Li Xin did this."

"She was two-timing, pregnant with another man's child, and still married Rong Cheng. Now, for her own sake, she has killed Rong Cheng."

“Honey, I think she’s become psychologically twisted.”

"Why don't we help the police solve the case? Otherwise, she'll definitely be a menace when she goes back to the entertainment industry."

Jiang Ruan wasn't going to back down this time: "I think that makes sense."

Li Xin is too vicious; she was willing to kill Rong Cheng for her own benefit.

What if I have a conflict with her in the future? Could she possibly kill me?

Jiang Ruan had to be on guard.

So, that very evening, just when Li Xin thought she had successfully won the police's trust and become, in everyone's eyes, a pitiful expectant mother who had lost her husband.

The police station's mailbox suddenly received a document.

The next day, before Li Xin even got out of bed, a bunch of police officers arrived at her house.

The nanny knocked and came in. Li Xin looked angry: "What's the matter so early in the morning?"

"Are you going to stop letting people sleep?"

Without Rong Cheng, Li Xin is the only master of this house.

The nanny was terrified while serving him. Even after being scolded, she could only patiently reply, "Madam, the police have arrived. There are a lot of them. They say they're here to take fingerprints."

Hearing this, Li Xin was shocked.

He was no longer sleepy at all, and hurriedly got out of bed, his face full of fear.

But she forced herself to remain calm and act normally: "Why do we need to take fingerprints?"

"They said they found many unidentified fingerprints in Mr. Rong's car, and the police suspect that someone had tampered with Mr. Rong's car."

Li Xin panicked even more: "Did you tell them I was home? I won't record it, you said I wasn't home."

Maid: "We said...we said you're here..."

Li Xin instantly became angry: "Who told you to talk nonsense!"

"They told me I was home without even asking?"

"Who really is the master of this house?"

She was so angry.

The maid was stunned by the shouting.

I didn't understand why she was so angry.
