Chapter 313: Nuannuan and Shen Lanzhi’s Disappearance
“Yes, everything was indeed planned by your grandfather. If you refused to go back to Country C with me, then everything will return to the way it was five years ago.”
As soon as she heard this, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was at a loss for words.
Five years ago?
Her mother was only officially accepted into the s.h.i.+ family five years ago. Did this mean that her grandfather would kick her mother out of the s.h.i.+ family is she refused to comply with his instructions?
As she thought about this, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan could not help but clench her fists tightly as she fought the hatred in her heart!

Early in the morning, the sunlight shone brightly into the master bedroom through the bedroom windows.
Zuo Weiyi finally opened her heavy eyelids as she tossed around in bed.
It seemed as though she slept very deeply last night.
Zuo Weiyi got up before she went to the bathroom to wash up. When she checked the time, it was already eight o’clock in the morning.
After going downstairs, Zuo Weiyi felt that something was a little strange today. It seemed as though the seaside villa was exceptionally quiet today.
Zuo Weiyi looked around the huge living room and realized that neither Shen Lanzhi nor s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was there.
Were they still fast asleep?
Zuo Weiyi frowned as she thought to herself.
Xiao Cui walked into the living room, and Zuo Weiyi could see the sad expression on her face.
“Miss Zuo, you are finally awake.”
Zuo Weiyi smiled when she saw Xiao Cui walking into the living room.
“Yes.”
“Breakfast is already ready.” When Xiao Cui spoke, she was a little jittery, as though she was afraid that Zuo Weiyi would ask her something. After that, she quickly turned around before she walked back into the kitchen.
Zuo Weiyi quickly realized that there was something wrong with Xiao Cui today.
However, she did not think too much when she saw her walking toward the kitchen. She simply followed behind her as she walked toward the dining room.
Zuo Weiyi sat at the dining table as she had breakfast as usual.
However, Zuo Weiyi was the only one seated at the dining table today. She did not even see Aunty Yu anywhere in the seaside villa at all.
At this point, Zuo Weiyi could not help but feel that something was wrong. She looked up at Xiao Cui who was carrying a bowl of porridge in her hand.
“Nuannuan and Uunty is not coming down for breakfast? Also, why isn’t Aunty Yu here today?”
Xiao Cui was startled when she heard Zuo Weiyi’s sudden question and quickly placed the bowl of porridge on the table.
Xiao Cui raised her head, but it seemed as though she was avoiding eye contact with Zuo Weiyi.
“When I woke up this morning, I did not see Madam or the young lady in the seaside villa. Aunty Yu is also not here.”
After that, Xiao Cui quickly turned around wandered into the kitchen, as though she was deliberately avoiding any further questions from Zuo Weiyi.
Zuo Weiyi was left in a daze as she stared at Xiao Cui’s back.
Not here? What was happening?
After placing the breakfast on the table, Xiao Cui turned around before she started cleaning up the living room.
Zuo Weiyi had a blank expression on her face.
Even after she was done eating her breakfast, Zuo Weiyi sat on the sofa and waited but the both of them did not come home at all.
If Zuo Weiyi did not notice that anything was amiss by now, she would be really dim-witted.
Moreover, Zuo Weiyi could tell that Xiao Cui had been deliberately avoiding her the entire morning. What was happening?
In order to get to the bottom of the matter, Zuo Weiyi picked up her cell phone as she tried to dial s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s phone number.
However, Zuo Weiyi received a notification stating that s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s cell phone had been turned off.
What the h.e.l.l was going on?
Zuo Weiyi was completely lost as she sat on the sofa.
The entire morning pa.s.sed and even though it was already lunchtime, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was still missing. What was even stranger was the fact that Xiao Cui did not ask or say anything as though she was not surprised at all.
“Xiao Cui!”
Zuo Weiyi quickly called out to Xiao Cui when she saw that she was about to enter the kitchen again.
Xiao Cui stopped as soon as she heard Zuo Weiyi’s voice and turned around, glancing at Zuo Weiyi before she lowered her head again.
“Do you know where Nuannuan has gone?”
Xiao Cui was silent for a long time and she finally could not bear to keep Zuo Weiyi in the dark anymore. Therefore, she decided to tell her the truth.
“Madam, the young lady, and Aunty Yu have already left for Country C early in the morning.”
Zuo Weiyi was shocked as soon as she heard Xiao Cui’s words.
They had all gone back to Country C?
As she stared at Xiao Cui, Zuo Weiyi seemed to suddenly recall something.
For the past few days, Shen Lanzhi had been especially concerned about her. Moreover, she had even given her the gold card and also bought so many baby clothes and products that would be enough to last the baby until it was three years old! s.h.i.+ Yuting’s sudden departure, all of this…
