Chapter 158: Chapter 144: Jiang Ruan Visits Xu Yun
Jiang Ruan felt an intense palpitation in her heart; all the blood in her body turned cold and solid. She clutched her chest, her lips trembling slightly.
Struggling to calm herself, she asked, "Is there a list? I mean the passenger list for that plane?"
Bao Ye and Chen Nan were really on that plane.
Surely their names would be on the passenger list.
She hadn’t seen the list.
She couldn’t believe Bao Ye was dead.
Just that night, he held her close, intimately whispering with her.
Jiang Ruan couldn’t believe he would leave her so easily.
He is, after all, Bao Ye.
The young master of the Bo family, the sole heir of Bao Group.
If he were gone,
Jiang Ruan dared not imagine.
Her eyes instantly turned red.
A regretful male voice came through.
"Sorry Miss, that list is now confidential, we cannot view it."
"Why not wait for news? If your husband was really on that plane, I think someone from the government will contact you in the next few days."
"But I want to know if his name is on that list."
Jiang Ruan said, her emotions already somewhat out of control: "Is there really no other way? I beg you, can’t you help me? I really need to know. I have to be sure if he’s alright."
The person sighed, patiently comforting her: "Miss, I understand your feelings; please calm down first."
"Also, please understand that I am just an employee. Sorry, I can’t do things outside my duties."
Listening to this, Jiang Ruan relaxed her tightly bitten lips, and her once radiant red lips now had no trace of color.
"Alright, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ruan finally couldn’t control her tears; they flowed uncontrollably, one after another, continuously falling down.
She cried, tears streaming down her face, and raised her hand to wipe them away, never expecting things to turn out this way.
The image of his face appeared in her mind.
Thinking about his plane crash, and how he might no longer be in this world.
Jiang Ruan felt an aching suffocation in her heart.
No.
She couldn’t just sit and wait.
She couldn’t find the list because she had no power or influence.
The Bo family is Beijing’s top family, their influence spreads throughout the country, and abroad, they are well-known.
Jiang Ruan thought of someone.
Xu Yun.
Bao Ye’s biological mother, Mrs. Bao of the Bo family.
She came from a scholarly family in Beijing and, as the lady of the Bo family, her acquaintances are all upper-class people, certainly with government contacts. Maybe she could find out through connections if Bao Ye is on that list.
With this thought, Jiang Ruan didn’t care about her bare face without makeup, crudely put on a dress, and went straight to the garage for a car.
Minutes later, a jet-black Maybach quickly sped out of the garage.
The security guards looked on tensely: "What’s happening? Why is Miss Jiang driving so fast?"
"I don’t know."
"Probably something urgent."
"Maybe Mr. Bao has returned?"
"Perhaps."
—
At the Bo family villa.
Xu Yun had just finished enjoying bird’s nest soup cooked by the servants. As a wealthy lady, she wore a purple silk robe; though over forty, she exuded elegance and feminine charm.
"Madam, everything is ready," the servant said softly.
Xu Yun nodded and stood up from the sofa: "Alright, let’s go."
Xu Yun believes in Buddhism, and she usually has a habit of chanting sutras, so she even set up a shrine for this purpose.
Today was the day she was to chant and pray.
At this moment, a servant rushed in, panting: "Madam, a young lady arrived at the gate claiming to be Jiang Ruan, saying she has something important to see you."
"Do you want to see her, Madame?"
"Jiang Ruan?" Xu Yun frowned, followed by a look of disgust in her eyes: "Why did she come?"
How peculiar.
She hadn’t yet told her to stay away from Bao Ye.
Yet, she came to find her first.
