After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

Li Shu didn't dare to say a word and could only nod repeatedly.

Forget about appearances, Wen Ling immediately took out her phone, dialed a number, and ordered Li Shu, "Go pack your things, and pack Feng Die's things too. In one hour... no, in half an hour, move to Zihua Villa!"

Okay, fine, why are you moving?!

This villa was only bought a little over a year ago!

Li Shu had never heard of Xia Yunxi's matter, but she could tell that Wen Ling was angry at the moment. She didn't dare to refute her and quickly nodded to go back to prepare.

The moment the call connected, Wen Ling didn't hesitate and ordered Liu Wan on the other end, "You have 20 minutes to investigate Jiang Ran's recent movements and Xia Yunxi's whereabouts!"

Liu Wan was already used to this.

Fortunately, she knew that Wen Ling would investigate sooner or later, so after receiving the news that Jiang Ran had returned to Beijing, she arranged for someone to secretly follow him. Reporting back was just a matter of minutes.

However, Xia Yunxi's situation was something she hadn't anticipated, and she would have to investigate it at different times, so she would have to wait a while.

Liu Wan raised her hand to signal the meeting to pause, then went outside to make a phone call.

Within five minutes, all of Jiang Ran's movements since returning from the South Island were sent to Wen Ling's mobile phone.

Jiang Ran, who returned three days earlier than Wen Ling, didn't go anywhere; he went back to his hometown.

Jiang Ran's video account has stopped updating, and his WeChat Moments activity is zero, as if he has retreated into his turtle shell and has not shown his face again.

His video account now has an additional caption: "The blogger is currently busy and will resume updates irregularly."

Jiang Ran hasn't even left the courtyard of her old home in the past three days.

As if her heart had finally settled, Wen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Ling only glanced at the updates Liu Wan sent about Xia Yunxi.

Xia Yunxi took the five million yuan given to her by Wen Zhi and originally intended to look at houses. However, she met a director at the sales office of a luxury house. With her outstanding temperament, she was spotted by the director at first glance and joined the filming of "Fatal Supporting Actress".

Wen Ling didn't know if Jiang Ran had contacted her privately, but Xia Yunxi's WeChat Moments were visible to everyone, and apart from the production team's publicity, she hadn't updated any information about Jiang Ran.

They probably haven't been in contact since.

Wen Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief upon reaching this conclusion.

But a knot was formed in her heart, and she really couldn't stay in the Junlan Mansion villa any longer.

Before Li Shu could finish packing, Wen Ling pushed her wheelchair down the elevator herself.

Fang Kai, accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards, was busy running around the villa, mostly dealing with Jiang Fengdie's belongings.

Seeing Li Shu holding over a dozen similar luxury brand suits that she had worn in the past, Wen Ling waved her hand irritably, "Throw them all away."

"Thrown away?! Miss, these are all things you specifically asked someone to..."

"Aunt Li, you didn't understand when I said throw it away, right?"

Wen Ling was extremely annoyed. The thought that almost all of these suits had been handled by Xia Yunxi, and that she had even eaten the meals Xia Yunxi had cooked herself, made her want to vomit all of those meals out in public!

Li Shu didn't dare to speak again, and nodded with a pale face.

Wen Ling watched as the nanny pushed the stroller down. Inside, Jiang Fengdie held a baby bottle and giggled at her.

My teeth haven't even grown in yet.

Wen Ling's heart softened in the end.

She leaned closer to the stroller, gently tapping Jiang Fengdie's chubby cheek with her index finger. "Baby, I'm sorry. Mommy is useless. Mommy did so many wrong things. Please forgive Mommy, okay? Mommy is a first-time mom too. After Mommy coaxes Daddy back, we'll hold you and play together, okay?"

"..."

Jiang Fengdie couldn't speak yet, and she only had a few hairs on her head; her hair hadn't grown out at all.

She pouted, biting her bottle, kicking her little feet around, and her eyes were round and bulging. Even though she was only a little over a month old, you could vaguely see that her eyelids were double and sparkling.

She inherited her double eyelids from Jiang Ran.

Daughters follow their fathers' example...

Seeing the scene at the entrance, Li Shu, holding more than a dozen suits in her arms, looked at Deng Lanlan and asked, "What happened? Miss is even giving up all these clothes?"

Knowing full well that this was a physiological aversion, Deng Lanlan sighed and said bluntly, "Xia Yunxi washed these clothes."

"Xia?!"

Li Shu was taken aback, then belatedly realized, "You mean, Xia and Jiang Ran..."

No matter what age, communication between women is that simple.

Deng Lanlan didn't need to say anything more; she only needed to nod, and Li Shu immediately imagined the whole process!

"You beast! I've known for a while that girl's intentions were off. Once, she and Jiang Ran were right at the gate, exchanging glances. Oh dear! It's hard to guard against a thief within the family!"

Li Shu instantly flew into a rage and threw the clothes in her hand to the ground in anger!

Deng Lanlan didn't know about this, and neither did Wen Ling.

Deng Lanlan reacted quickly, immediately covering Li Shu's mouth. "Aunt Li, please keep your voice down. You don't want Miss to hear you and throw a tantrum, do you?"

"..."

Li Shu realized what was happening, but she was still furious. She lowered her voice considerably, "I knew it! That girl didn't seem innocent at all. Really... Miss, it's good you moved out; this place is no longer safe to live in!"

Deng Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did Miss say where she's moving to?"

"Oh, Xiao Wan just called to say she's moving to Zihua Villa, where Miss used to live."

"Oh, that's a good place, we should go there."

Deng Lanlan nodded, her heart finally at ease.

Unlike Wen Zhi, who lived in Yunqi Manor from birth and was raised by the master and mistress, Wen Ling, who was born first, was raised in Zihua Villa from the time she was old enough to understand things, and Li Shu was by her side at that time.

It can be said that Zihua Villa is Wen Ling's true resting place, her true home.

"Yes, I've been having people clean the Zihua Villa. The old furnishings are still there. I hope that when Miss goes back this time, she can rest well and let go of Mr. Jiang."

Looking towards the doorway, Li Shu felt a pang of emotion at the sight of Wen Ling making Jiang Fengdie laugh.

Upon hearing this, Deng Lanlan raised her hand and patted Li Shu's shoulder, "Aunt Li, I think you're oversimplifying some things."

"what?"

Li Shu was taken aback, staring blankly at Deng Lanlan. "What do you mean? Explain yourself. I'm getting old and can't keep up with you young people anymore..."

"Ugh."

Deng Lanlan sighed, said nothing more, and only looked at Li Shu, saying, "Aunt Li, have you heard this saying before?"

"What?"

"What you can't have always seems more alluring!"
