Chapter: 950
Ye Cheng knew what she was thinking, hastily saying, "Really, there's no need. I'm used to cooking by myself, so why don't you go sit for a bit and wait for dinner?"
Just as he was speaking, Xu Churan walked into the kitchen, asking Ye Cheng, "Have you seen my mom?"
"But oh no." Ye Cheng pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's going on? Mom hasn't come back yet?"
"Nope." Xu Churan said, "I thought she was going out with friends, but just a minute ago, her old friend called me, saying that my mom couldn't be reached since the afternoon. They were waiting for her to confirm dinner plans, but they couldn't find her anywhere. I asked Dad, and he didn't know where Mom went either, so I'm thinking of asking you."
Ye Cheng spoke indifferently, "Mom left home without telling me, saying she was going out with friends at noon. But I thought, since we're not under our dad's allowance anymore, I could just give her money after getting Dad's permission. She got a bit upset anyway."
Xu Churan nodded thoughtfully and muttered to herself, "This is kind of strange... Not at home, nor going out with friends, so where did she go then..."
Ye Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe she went off to play mahjong somewhere?"
Xu Churan said, "That's not the point. Even if her phone battery ran out, someone would still be able to reach her. This has never happened before."
"Suppose her phone died?" Ye Cheng said, "Don't worry too much, Mom is an adult and should be able to take care of herself."
Xu Churan sighed, "Although she's grown up, her behavior is still a bit childlike. I'm really worried that she might cause trouble everywhere she goes."
Dong Ruolin asked in surprise, "Auntie can't be found?"
"Yes." Xu Churan said anxiously, "Her phone has been unreachable, and after asking around, no one has seen her."

Dong Ruolin asked in surprise, "Auntie can't be found?"
"Yes." Xu Churan said anxiously, "Her phone has been unreachable, and after asking around, no one has seen her."
These moments, Xiu Changkun poked his head in, looking puzzled, saying: "Why did you guys all go into the kitchen without telling me? I was going to invite you over for tea."
Xiu Chunran asked him, "Has Mom contacted you? It's so late, why hasn't she gone home yet?"
As soon as Xiu Chunran mentioned Ma Ran, Xiu Changkun snorted and said with a bad mood: "Who knows? Don't bother her; maybe she's causing trouble somewhere else again."
Ever since he found out that Ma Ran had lost all their money at home, Xiu Changkun's dissatisfaction with Ma Ran in his heart just couldn't be hidden anymore.
These few days, whenever he saw Ma Ran, he thought about the thing where they lost all their money at home, so he just wanted Ma Ran to go crazy and be out of sight, out of mind.
Xiu Chunran sighed helplessly, saying: "Dad, I know that thing was Mom's mistake, but Mom has already apologized, she knows she was wrong, why can't you just forgive her? If Mom gets pushed away by you, what will we do?"
"Get lost?" Xiu Changkun sneered coldly, saying: "If she really could get lost, I'd go to the Lohans Temple tonight to burn incense and pray, hoping she could disappear directly from this world like Qi Hongyan, then I'd be truly liberated!"
Xiu Chunran heard these words and felt extremely helpless in her heart; she had a deep sense of powerlessness about her parents' relationship.
After a moment of silence, she said: "Dad, no matter how big Mom's mistake is, we've walked together for over twenty years. Can't you just forgive her once?."
Xiu Changkun waved his hand: "Forgive her? That doesn't exist; I'll never be able to forgive her in this lifetime!" JrNovels.com
