Chapter 305: Upstart
Before dawn in the morning, Doll wakes up once. An Ran feeds her with her eyes closed and changes her diaper. She thinks Doll will fall asleep immediately, but the little girl refuses to lie in bed and insists on sleeping in her mother’s arms. She starts crying as soon as she is put in the crib.
An Ran has no choice but to walk around the room holding Doll, waiting for Doll to fall into a deep sleep before going to sleep for a while. However, she has only taken a few steps when dawn breaks. As soon as An Ran puts Doll in the crib, Little Mint stands up. As soon as she sits up, she lies on the edge of the bed and starts to dry heave.
"Come and drink some water." An Ran pours some water for Little Mint and brings it to Little Mint’s mouth.
Little Mint shakes her head, not wanting to drink water. She looks a little haggard and lies back on the bed. She asks pitifully, "Sister, I seem to be really sick."
"You’re not sick. Don’t say that," An Ran says as she puts down the cup, covers Little Mint’s stomach with a light blanket, and stands up. Seeing Little Mint like this makes An Ran feel uneasy. She adds, "Rest for a bit. Drink the water later. I’m going to check if Uncle is around."
Zhan Lian had turned around and left last night, and An Ran didn't care where he went. She thinks he probably didn’t sleep here. After all, Doll cried all the time last night, and Zhan Lian didn’t come over to ask.
Sure enough, An Ran searches the dormitory from top to bottom and checks all the cars parked on the high ground, but she still can’t find any trace of Zhan Lian. He really had left last night.
You wouldn’t know until you look at it. Once you look, An Ran is shocked. There are about a dozen cars of different sizes parked on this high ground. They look like they were parked randomly before the end of the world, but each car is filled with plastic storage boxes.
They are the same style as the storage boxes that Zhan Lian took out from the trunk of a car yesterday. They are all over the trunk and the back seat.
The car doors are not locked, all the car keys are left in the car, and each car has a full tank of gas, ready to drive on the road at any time.
An Ran is curious, so she gets into the back seat of a car and opens a storage box. It’s full of furry toys. She opens another one and finds sets of brand new, unopened children's clothes, then children’s medicines, a box of diapers, women’s underwear, and women’s clothes for all four seasons.
Did Zhan Lian build a warehouse here?
An Ran suddenly feels like a nouveau riche, but when she thinks about it, these things all belong to Zhan Lian, her ex-husband, not hers, so what do they have to do with her?
So she gets out of the car.
She closes the car door and stands in the dormitory corridor, walking back and forth.
Just when An Ran wonders where Zhan Lian has gone, the ivy on the wall moves, telling her that someone has come in.
An Ran runs up the hill to take a look, and just in time sees the seamless large iron gate, which magically spins open as a whole. A black SUV drives in, which looks very much like the bulletproof car she lost at the gas station.
Looking more closely, isn’t this the car she left at the gas station? Wasn’t this car stolen by Green Dragon tattooed man’s subordinates at the gas station?
An Ran then remembers that before she took a shower yesterday, Zhan Lian had stuffed her with a set of clothes, which is the soft, comfortable, and easy-to-stretch lavender yoga suit she is wearing now. This set of clothes was stuffed into a suitcase, thrown into a bulletproof car, and then discarded at the Xiangcheng gas station.
