Chapter 255: Her Mother is a Mystery
a little quicker… perhaps it wouldn't have happened like this…I'm sorry....Outside the door, Bo Jin stared through the spyhole, watching the woman holding the child's hand, burying her head and sobbi..."Besides these, are there any other clues"
Yes, you can see in the video from five years ago, she looks a lot like me, it's a one-to-one imitation.
It's not just the face, but also the movements, expressions, habits, and even the tone of voice that are similar.
At this point, Shen Ningran disguised herself as that person in the villa and wasn't recognized by the guards and butlers inside. She noticed it.
"Including my eight-month pregnant belly, she replicated it perfectly. This shows that this person was probably around us at the time, observing our every move."
Shen Ningran now thinks about it, she feels a little scared. Having someone constantly observing you, monitoring you, imitating you, and wanting to scheme against you, that kind of unknown danger makes your heart tremble with fear.
Shen Ningran took a deep breath, her movements not stopping, "It's just that I really can't figure out who I offended."
This is a real headache.
And once again, the woman in the cloak appeared in my mind. I still couldn't see her face, nor could I remember when or where I had seen her.
Shen Ningran imitated it perfectly, and Bo Jin yu also discovered this when watching the video. If he hadn't been unable to find a reason for Shen Ningran to do this at the time, no one would have believed that the person in the video was not the real Shen Ningran.
Could it be an enemy of the Shen family
"An enemy of the Shen family" Shen Ningran murmured, repeating Bo Jin Yu's words. "No, according to the personalities of several members of the Shen family, they like nothing more than fighting amongst themselves and trying to steal my mother's inheritance. They wouldn't dare make enemies outside..."
Shen Ning's voice paused, her eyes suddenly narrowed. "The property my mother left behind, the property!"
She seemed to have suddenly remembered something.
Bo Jin looked back at her, "What did you think of"
"The Shen family cares most about the inheritance my mother left behind. That person is envious of my wealth beyond compare" Shen Ningran looked at Bo Jin Yu, murmuring to herself, her mind churning with thoughts.
Bo Jin's eyes darkened. "Your mother left you quite a fortune"
Shen Ningran shook her head. "Even if she were extravagant, she wouldn't be as rich as a country."
Although the exact amount is unknown, it's safe to say their wealth is far beyond that of a nation.
And her mother left all of that to her. That man, Shen Rongde, is truly greedy for that money. He deserves a good fight with Shen Rongde over it, rather than spending so many years getting plastic surgery and trying to imitate her just to compete.
This is unreasonable, what I get doesn't match her contribution.
"I never heard you mention your mother." Bo Jinyu pulled out two tissues and meticulously wiped the ointment residue from her palm.
Shen Ningran gave a wry smile. “To be honest, I don’t really know her. She’s always been… mysterious. The kind of person you live with but have no idea what she does all day. I remember asking when I was little, but my mother wouldn’t tell me, saying it was to protect me.”
Shen Ningran felt from a young age that she didn't understand her mother enough.
At the Shen household, the father, mother, grandmother, and she seemed harmonious, like a family. But if you carefully felt it, you couldn't sense any love at all. It didn't feel like a home.
After their mother left, Shen Rongde immediately ushered the mother and daughter into the Shen residence. They were family, while she had always felt like an outsider.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningran's eyes darkened. "So I don't know what she's doing all day, I don't know why she disappeared, and I don't know if she's still alive."
Bo Jin detected the emotional fluctuation in Shen Ningran's eyes, his gaze deepened, with more heartache.
Shen Ningran faced more troubles than her peers from a young age. Her life was filled with unknowns and schemes. Although Bo Jinyu had gone through the same, after his father's death, other members of the Bo family were restless, eager to vie for the position of head of the family.
He was just a child then, and the old master single-handedly suppressed the rebellion. He also drove out those with ill intentions from the Bao family to protect him at that time.
He got to where he is today largely through his own efforts, but he also couldn't have done it without the support of Old Master Bao.
He and Shen Ningran were not lucky people. Bo Jin'yu didn't care how he was treated, but he felt sorry for Shen Ningran, for everything she had gone through.
He pulled the person into his arms, seating them on his lap, "Are you still looking for your mother"
"I'm looking, but I have no clue where to start."
It's really hard to find someone who has vanished without a trace, and you don't even know if they are still alive.
"When we get back, I'll help you look for it. You said your mother was mysterious and left you a considerable fortune, and that person wants your wealth beyond compare. This probably has something to do with your mother."
Shen Ningran's eyes flickered. Bo Jinyu was right.
The amount of money she earned herself wasn't enough to draw envy, but her mother was quite capable, so what that person wanted was probably something left behind by her mother.
She hasn't found out yet.
"It's getting late, why don't you go to rest first." Bo Jinyu reached up to smooth the stray hairs on her forehead.
Shen Ningran lowered her eyes to look at the distance between their sitting positions, then suddenly stood up and created more space.
Bo Jinyu looked at her expression and smiled calmly.
Shen Ning lightly coughed, "You wouldn't want to sleep with me tonight, would you"
"Otherwise, I'll sleep outside and show you a frost sculpture tomorrow morning"
Shen Ningran pulled at her coat, "… You go sleep with Zhou Chen."
Bo Jin's face turned a few shades paler. "Ruan Ruan, I won't bend."
Shen Ningran, “…”
There's no other way, Shen Ningran could only let Bo Jinyu stay in the room. There was only one bed and one quilt in the room. If he wanted to sleep, he had to sleep with her.
Shen Ningran bit her lip, lying in bed, not even taking off her coat, wrapped tightly, obviously not feeling comfortable.
She pulled the blanket over herself, her slender body taking up only a small portion of the bed edge, leaving the rest for Bo Jinyu.
When Bo Jin Yu's medicine wore off, he went to the bathroom to bathe. After taking a shower, he saw a woman sleeping soundly against the bed in the pristine white sheets.
Bo Jin looked at the woman with a raised eyebrow, walked over, lifted the blanket and lay down. His strong arms wrapped around the woman who was almost falling out of bed. She was so light, he effortlessly pulled her to the middle.
Shen Ningran, who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, couldn't help but open her eyes and glared at Bo Jinyu.
"She said she wanted to sleep on the floor at night." Bao Jin Yu held her waist, without letting go, and didn't make any excessive movements.
Shen Ningran bit her lip and took a deep breath, "Let go of me first."
Bo Jin retracted his hand, and Shen Ningran shifted her body to the side.
Bó Jìn Yù chuckled, "Doesn't wearing a coat to sleep feel uncomfortable"
Shen Ningran thought about the pajamas she was wearing. She would rather be uncomfortable.
"I feel pretty comfortable." Shen Ningran's voice was muffled, she pulled up the covers and went to sleep.
Bo Jinyu looked at the woman sleeping with her back to him, a silent smile on his face. He approached cautiously, not touching her, and whispered softly: Goodnight.r and Mr. Bo's engagement banquet. It's your people who got it wrong. Get out quickly, don't even think about freeloading at the banquet.""He's right, the engagement banquet of Shao Da and Miss Guan i...
