NOVEL NEXT Chapter 154 - Elopement Maybe
Are they planning to re-examine the situation regarding conception? It's not a bad idea for them to conceive, but it seems they've completely forgotten their initial intentions and are uncertain about their destination.
Lin Chuchu sensed that something was amiss. She, too, requested some time off but chose not to accompany them. Instead, she embarked on a journey to West Willow Village in search of Zhao Yun.
Whether or not they decide to revisit their reproductive health, they must seize the opportunity during their absence to locate Yun.
Their first order of business should be to address the matter of their prospective mother-in-law. When they return, even if they have successfully conceived, it could be problematic if the future mother-in-law doesn't approve of her daughter-in-law.
She had such a well-planned plan, so she went to the village now.
Since last night's argument with her son, Zhao Yun had been wearing a peculiar expression. She hadn't eaten dinner the previous night, and by morning, her appetite was still nonexistent. The primary reason was her seething anger, a sentiment that had only grown with age.
Her face had now taken on an ashen hue. The sound of a knock at the door reached her ears. She initially believed it was her son returning, sparking excitement within her. As she swung open the door, however, she was met not by her son but by Lin Chuchu, who had brought along some nourishing remedies.
Remembering Lin Chuchu's previous actions, Zhao Yun's countenance darkened. She inquired with a stern face, “Why have you suddenly appeared here?”
“Auntie, I've come to check on you. I heard there was trouble in your family recently, and I was genuinely concerned. That's why I'm here. Auntie, are you alright?” Lin Chuchu responded sincerely, holding the remedies she had brought.
Zhao Yun was uninterested in Lin Chuchu at the moment. She felt a profound disappointment that it wasn't her son at the door. She pushed Lin Chuchu aside and said, “I don't have time for you right now. You can leave. My son isn't home. He's run off with another woman, so your search for him is pointless.”
Lin Chuchu observed Zhao Yun's frail appearance and guided her inside. “Auntie, why do you think of me this way? I'm not here for Qingyue; I'm here for you. Worried about your health, I came to visit. Plus, I have something very important to tell you. Please don't faint.”
Zhao Yun found Lin Chuchu's behavior odd. Seeing her hesitation to speak, she grew anxious. “Are you going to tell me or not? Are you trying to scare an old woman to death? If you have something to say, say it plainly.”
Lin Chuchu pretended to sigh upon hearing this. She continued to support Zhao Yun and said, “Auntie, calm down. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I fear your health might suffer. I can't confirm the truth, but I'll let you consider it. This morning, I noticed that Qingyue didn't go to work. When I asked Liu, I couldn't believe it, but it turns out Qingyue eloped with Gu Yuehuan. They've disappeared, and nobody knows where they went. Early in the morning, who would have thought they'd do something so outrageous? I suspect that Gu Yuehuan may have influenced them to elope.”
The news that her son might be planning to elope shook Zhao Yun. She abruptly rose from her seat, her face frozen with fear. Her legs went weak, and she struggled to stand. Lin Chuchu hurriedly embraced her. “Auntie, take care of yourself. We can't afford any mishaps. But I can't confirm this information. I only heard that they purchased train tickets to the north of the city. Given the circumstances, it seems likely they eloped. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Gu Yuehuan had a hand in this.”
