“All, so many things happened while I was away? But did Xue Lin commit suicide by jumping off a building?” Liang Lu, who was much tanner now, said to the camera.
Tan Ron replied, “It should be true that she committed suicide by jumping off a building. However, I think that based on her personality, she wouldn’t commit suicide by jumping off a building so easily.”
“Maybe someone said something to her.” Liang Lu nodded.
Tan Ron smiled and said, “After Xue Lin died, her mother buried her quickly. Since Xue Lin had no children or husband, her property was inherited by her parents. Before Father Lin was sentenced, he transferred all the positions in the company to Mother Lin. However, Mother Lin didn’t manage the company well. She sold all the shares, including Xue Lin’s share. After that, she flew abroad.”
Liang Lu was dumbfounded, “D*mn, her mother is too ruthless.”
“Where there is old, there is young. Xue Lin is like her parents.” Tan Rou said.
Liang Lu agreed. Then, they changed the topic. “Rourou, I’m going to finish filming this drama soon. When we return to the Capital, we have to celebrate.”
Tan Rou had no objections. “You have to tell me in advance when you’re coming back. I’ll prepare dinner to welcome you.”
“I’ll bring you some specialties from the desert,” Liang Lu said with a smile.
“Is sand the specialty of the desert?” Tan Rou asked deliberately.
Liang Lu laughed out loud. “How is that possible? There are a lot of fun little things here. I’ll bring more back when the time comes. Everyone will have a share.”
“Okay, then come back quickly. Be careful,” Tan Rou reminded. “Don’t disregard your own safety for the sake of filming.”
“Yes, yes, I understand.” Liang Lu replied.
However, on the third day after Liang Lu’s phone call, bad news came. When Liang Lu and Tao Zheng brought a few main actors to look for a filming location, they suddenly encountered a sandstorm and disappeared into the desert.
When the news reached the Tao family, Tan Rou was having a gathering with her family. Every week, she would return to the old mansion for dinner to accompany her grandfather and grandmother.
Mr. Tao was the first to receive the news. He had wanted to hide it from his family, but Mrs. Tao had long discovered that something was wrong with him. Under Mrs. Tao’s repeated questioning, Mr. Tao finally told the truth.
“Air Zheng and the others encountered a sandstorm when they were filming in the desert. They all disappeared in the desert. The local police have already gone to look for them, but they haven’t found any traces of them yet.” Father Tao said sadly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tao felt her vision darken. “No…. Nothing will happen to All Zheng.”
Among her four children, Tao Zheng had been by her side the longest. Since she was young, Tao Zheng had basically never left her. Even if he went on business trips or went on a trip, he would come back very quickly. This time, he had been gone for four to five months. It was also the longest time she had been away from her. She would video call Tao Zhengtong every week. They had just videocalled yesterday. Why was he gone today?
“I want to find Ah Zheng!” Mrs. Tao was very agitated. “He must be there. I’ll go look for him.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Tao felt her head spin and her vision went black. Then, she fainted.
“Mom!” Tan Rou supported her and immediately pinched the acupuncture point under her nose. “Don’t be agitated. Second Brother will be fine.”
“Quickly carry your mother to bed to rest!” Mr. Tao said.
Tan Rou used a little strength and lifted Mrs. Tao up. After confirming that Mrs. Tao was fine, they quietly walked out of the room and went to the study downstairs to discuss something.
Initially, Father Tao wanted Tan Rou to stay behind to take care of Mother Tao, but Tan Rou insisted on going with them, so Tian Tian stayed behind to take care of Mother Tao.
“Don’t tell your grandparents about this yet. They can’t stand such a big shock, especially your grandfather,” Mr. Tao said.
The children knew the seriousness of the matter and promised not to tell anyone. They only said that Tao Zheng was still filming outside and would come back after filming.
“I can’t leave without my family. I have to go there myself.” Father Tao said.
Tao Zhi disagreed. “Dad, I’ll go. You stay and handle the company’s affairs.”
In the past few years, Mr. Tao had gradually handed over the company’s affairs to Tao Zhi, and he had become an idle person.
