After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 163 That's not Xiao Lan
Jiang Yilan took the phone, glanced at it, and was so frightened that she let go of it.

The phone fell to the ground with a "thud".

Jiang Yilan lay on the hospital bed and cried bitterly.

Xiao Xu bent down to pick up the phone from the ground, looking at her trembling body, his eyes filled with sadness.

He Lewei also lowered his head and sighed.

When Jiang Yuan returned to the ward and saw this scene, her slender eyebrows furrowed tightly.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak several times, but didn't know how to comfort Jiang Yilan.

They haven't experienced her pain, and they're not qualified to advise her.

Hearing Jiang Yilan's suppressed and painful sobs, Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu's eyes reddened again, and they tried hard to tilt their heads back to hold back their tears.

After an unknown amount of time, the ward gradually quieted down.

Jiang Yilan stopped crying.

Jiang Yuan wasn't sure if she was asleep, but they didn't make a sound to disturb her.

The three of them tiptoed out of the ward and sat down on the lounge chairs in the corridor.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuan received a call from Fu Xiaoxiao.

She greeted Xiao Xu and quickly walked towards the safety exit.

After walking down two floors, I saw Fu Xiaoxiao holding Qiuqiu. "Yuan Yuan!"

"Xiaoxiao, thank you for your trouble, making a special trip." Jiang Yuan took the ball from her arms.

After she made the call in the morning, Fu Xiaoxiao immediately booked plane tickets and flew over with Qiuqiu.

"Don't be so polite with me!" Fu Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry. "Who are we to each other?"

"Baby, I was wrong, I won't do it again." Jiang Yuan's tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Then I'll forgive you this time." Fu Xiaoxiao smiled and took her hand. "Let's go see Xiaolan, whom Qiuqiu has been thinking about."

Jiang Yuan looked down at Qiuqiu in her arms and could feel its excitement.

"Yuan Yuan?" Fu Xiaoxiao called again when she saw that she hadn't moved, "Aren't you coming?"

Qiuqiu couldn't help but meow, "Yuanyuan, take me to find Xiaolan! I miss her so much!"

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Qiuqiu, you might need to prepare yourself mentally."

"What?" Qiuqiu tilted its fluffy head back, looking at her with its bright cat eyes. "I've been preparing for this for so long!"

Jiang Yuan sighed softly.

Fu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something and frowned, asking, "Yuanyuan, what's wrong? Is Xiaolan not doing well...?"

Jiang Yuan: "To be precise, it's terrible."

"What's wrong with Xiaolan?" Qiuqiu frowned and meowed anxiously. "How could it be so bad?"

People passed by on the stairs from time to time. Jiang Yuan found a corner and recounted the torment Jiang Yilan had suffered after her disappearance.

"I don't believe it!" Qiuqiu shook her little head vigorously.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Fu Xiaoxiao choked out, "I don't believe it either."

Jiang Yuan secretly rejoiced that she hadn't sent Qiuqiu to see Jiang Yilan directly.

If she saw Qiuqiu's current reaction, she would be in even more pain.

"You must have the wrong person!" Qiuqiu couldn't believe that her once cheerful owner had become the person Jiang Yuan described. "That's not Xiaolan! Xiaolan is a cheerful girl. She always said that cheerful girls have good luck!"

"I'm sorry, Qiuqiu." Jiang Yuan looked at Qiuqiu's distraught state and gently stroked its fur to comfort it. "That was indeed Xiaolan. If you don't want to see her, I'll find a suitable reason to tell her."

“Yuan Yuan, you don’t need to apologize. It’s not your fault.” Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Yuan with concern.

After a long silence, Qiuqiu meowed softly, "I will see her. No matter what Xiaolan becomes, she will always be my master!"

It's just really sad.

If Xiaolan, who loves beauty so much, saw herself like that, would she cry?
The ward was quiet.

Jiang Yilan lay on the bed, her right eye staring blankly out the glass window.

She suddenly felt very bored.

Jiang Yilan struggled to get out of bed and, supporting herself against the wall, walked to the window.

Rather than living like this, barely clinging to life, it's better to die a quick and painless death...

Jiang Yilan had one foot on the stool when she suddenly heard a meow behind her.

Her body suddenly stiffened.

"Meow~~" Qiuqiu meowed as it ran to her side.

Xiaolan, I miss you so much!

Qiuqiu stopped at Jiang Yilan's feet, its fluffy head rubbing against her trouser leg, meowing.

Jiang Yilan slowly looked down at it, her right eye instantly glistening with tears.

"Ball..." she murmured.

Seeing the little guy's shiny fur and chubby cheeks, Jiang Yilan's lips curled up little by little.

Qiuqiu tilted her little head up and looked at her.

Although Jiang Yuan had described Xiao Lan's current appearance to it, it was still shocked when it saw it with its own eyes.

Qiuqiu's cat eyes widened, its furry face wrinkled, and it was in a terrible mood and very angry.

Those bastards! How could they have done this to Xiaolan!
"Meow meow meow..." Ball Ball started crying.

Jiang Yilan couldn't understand; she only heard Qiuqiu barking, and it seemed unhappy.

She put her feet down from the stool, sat down on it while holding onto the window with one hand, and reached out to pat Qiuqiu's head. "Qiuqiu, do you still recognize me?"

"Meow meow meow!" Qiuqiu nodded vigorously and jumped onto Jiang Yilan's lap.

Xiaolan has lost weight...

Jiang Yilan looked at it, her expression softening, and gently stroked it with her right hand. "Have I become very ugly? Are you scared?"

Qiuqiu shook its head like a rattle-drum, nuzzling affectionately against her, meowing softly.

No, Xiaolan is the prettiest!
I'm not afraid at all. I'll love Ran no matter what she becomes!
Seeing that Qiuqiu was still clinging to her, Jiang Yilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yuan knocked on the door, walked to Jiang Yilan's side, and asked with a gentle smile, "Yilan, do you need me to translate for you?"

"Okay, I want to know what Qiuqiu is saying." Jiang Yilan found it amazing that someone could understand what small animals were saying.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said softly, "Didn't you just ask Qiuqiu if she was scared?"

"Yes." Jiang Yilan asked nervously, "Will it scare it?"

Jiang Yuan chuckled and said, "Of course not. Qiuqiu is very loyal. It said that no matter what you look like, it will love you."

Jiang Yilan's smile deepened immediately. "Qiuqiu is so good to me."

“It really is good to you.” Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement. “It has been looking for you. It’s all thanks to Qiuqiu that we were able to rescue you this time. If it hadn’t asked me to help find people, we probably still wouldn’t have caught those scumbags.”

"Thank you, Qiuqiu." Jiang Yilan looked at the kitten in her arms and thanked her earnestly.

Qiuqiu's arrival helped Jiang Yilan's depressed and suicidal mood improve.

She finally had the courage to recall that darkest moment.

Using the same methods he used on He Yingying, Li He'an lured Jiang Yilan to that remote village under the pretense of meeting her parents...

Every day after that felt like living in hell.

She escaped twice. The first time, she was taken back to that man's house, and the second time, she was sent to a tower where she lived a life worse than death.
