I'm the demise's white moonlight of the bigshot - Chapter 73-Part 1

The entire Ji family was in chaos.

Even though it was New Year’s Eve, the ambulance arrived quickly.

As the medical staff took Jiang Liqi away, Ji Ran stood in the living room, watching the scene with an emotionless expression.

“Ranran.”

Grandma Ji walked over and reached for her hand.

Ji Ran’s hand was cold, chilling to the bone.

Grandma Ji, feeling heartbroken, held her hand tightly and whispered, “Ranran, tell Grandma what happened.”

Ji Ran turned to look at Grandma Ji, opening her mouth.

Her voice was hoarse, “Grandma, I didn’t push her.”

Seeing that Ji Ran’s body was still trembling uncontrollably, Grandma Ji knew that she was also scared by the scene and hurriedly said, “Grandma knows, I know Ranran is a good child, she wouldn’t do something like this.”

The weight in Ji Ran’s heart finally eased a little.

At least someone was still willing to believe her.

She really hadn’t pushed Jiang Liqi.

Yes, she didn’t like Jiang Liqi, and that was no secret, but she had never thought of harming Jiang Liqi or her child.

She wouldn’t stoop so low.

But at this moment, Grandma Ji suddenly clutched her chest.

Ji Ran immediately helped her, anxiously asking, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, Grandma just feels a bit dizzy.”

Grandma Ji waved her hand.

At that moment, Grandpa Ji walked in.

He had followed the ambulance to the villa’s entrance when Jiang Liqi was being taken away, and now Ji Qingli and Jiang Yi had gone to the hospital with the ambulance.

He walked in and saw Grandma Ji clutching her chest, immediately asking, “Did your blood pressure go up again?”

Grandma Ji had a long-standing issue with high blood pressure.

She usually took her medicine on time and didn’t face much stress, so there were usually no problems.

But the sudden turn of events, especially the sight of Jiang Liqi’s bloody skirt, made her feel dizzy after the fact.

Ji Ran quickly helped Grandma Ji sit on the sofa, and the housekeeper hurried over to get water and medicine.

After taking the medicine, Grandma Ji’s complexion improved a little.

Grandpa Ji looked at her and whispered, “I’ll call Xiao Chen and have him come over.”

Grandma Ji immediately waved her hand.

“No need, it’s the New Year, how can we ask someone to come at this time?”

Xiao Chen was the Ji family’s family doctor.

As the elderly couple grew older, they sometimes preferred to have the doctor visit them for simple checkups rather than going to the clinic.

“Why don’t you rest in your room for now?” Ji Ran quietly suggested.

Grandma Ji didn’t refuse this time, nodding her head.

The housekeeper and Ji Ran supported her and helped her to the bed.

Seeing Ji Ran’s face full of concern, Grandma Ji smiled and said, “Ranran, don’t worry, this is just a small issue.”

Ji Ran held her hand, her tears welling up in her eyes.

Grandma had believed her without hesitation.

When she said she didn’t do it, Grandma believed her.

Grandma had been busy all day, and now her blood pressure had risen again, making her look especially tired.

So, Ji Ran quickly left the room to let Grandpa stay with her.

Standing in the living room, she remained still for a long while.

Finally, she gently turned her head toward the staircase.

There was a conspicuous, still-fresh pool of blood on the floor, glowing a strange red under the light.

Ji Ran took a deep breath, feeling a tightness in her chest.

At this moment, the housekeeper arrived with cleaning tools.

Seeing Ji Ran standing there, she softly said, “Miss Ran, you should go upstairs and rest, let me clean this up.”

As the housekeeper went over, Ji Ran stayed in place.

Suddenly, her phone in her pocket rang.

Ji Ran looked down, took her phone out of her pocket, and saw that it was a call from Shen Zhi.

She was about to answer, but her fingers were trembling.

Finally, she managed to press the answer button, and when she spoke, it was just one word: “Hello.”

Even though it was just one word, Shen Zhi immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He quickly asked, “Ranran, what’s wrong?”

“Shen Zhi, Jiang Liqi has lost a lot of blood. The doctor says her baby might not survive.”

Ji Ran’s voice was weak, as though if anyone pushed her a little further, she would fall off the edge of a cliff.

So, when she heard Shen Zhi’s question, she finally grabbed onto a vine.

A vine that could save her.

Of course, Shen Zhi knew that Jiang Liqi was her stepmother.

He was originally standing on his family’s balcony, but upon hearing this, he immediately turned around and, as he walked out, asked, “Where are you now?”

“I’m at Grandpa and Grandma’s house.”

“I’ll be there right away.”

Shen Zhi didn’t hesitate for a second.

When Ji Ran heard his firm voice, she suddenly swallowed hard.

She didn’t say it wasn’t necessary because, at this moment, she really wanted to see Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi arrived very quickly.

On New Year’s Eve, there weren’t many taxis outside, so he simply hailed a private car.

Initially, the driver was irritated, but when Shen Zhi pulled out a wad of cash, the driver immediately stopped talking.

The driver, a young man, thought he must be in a hurry and comforted him, saying, “Don’t worry, brother. Trust my skills; I’ll get you there quickly and safely.”

Shen Zhi gazed out the window, silent.

When Shen Zhi arrived, he called Ji Ran.

She grabbed a coat from the hallway, put it on, and went outside.

Since they were in the suburbs, fireworks suddenly lit up the sky in the distance.

The colorful bursts painted a series of dazzling scenes across the night sky.

The cold wind of the night whipped against Ji Ran’s body, and she felt a deep chill.

Finally, she reached the door and saw the young man standing there.

He was wearing a light gray coat, his tall figure outlined against the dim light at the door.

His expression was darker than the night itself, lips pressed tight, eyes fixed on the community.

When Ji Ran appeared, he looked at her, then the corner of his mouth lifted into a slight smile.

Even from a distance, Ji Ran could feel the warmth of his smile, like a beam of light in the cold night, gently sweeping away the gloom in her heart.

As she walked over, Shen Zhi reached out and took her hand.

He looked down at her feet and sighed softly, “Why aren’t you wearing shoes?”

Ji Ran looked down at her feet and realized she had only worn a pair of slippers outside.

She hadn’t noticed it earlier, but now that she did, she felt her feet freezing, almost numb, her toes barely able to curl.

“Let’s go.”

Shen Zhi held her hand.

She didn’t ask where they were going, simply following him into the car.

The private car driver, having received such a large sum of money, and seeing how remote the area was, decided to park and wait.

However, when he saw Shen Zhi return with a young girl, all sorts of thoughts ran through his mind.

They both looked very young, probably only about seventeen or eighteen.

Especially the girl, even though her long hair partly covered her face, she was strikingly beautiful, her small face glowing in the dark night.

What was this?

A high school couple eloping in the middle of the night…

Or perhaps a young couple madly in love, re-enacting a “Romeo and Juliet” scene on New Year’s Eve.

The driver suppressed his thoughts and, as per Shen Zhi’s instructions, took them to the city.

He had initially thought they would be heading to a hotel, but to his surprise, Shen Zhi took them to a still-open KFC and led her inside.

The driver sighed as he watched them get out of the car and enter the store.

Young people, running away from home, only to hide in a KFC… how tragic.

But as he drove away a few steps, he suddenly realized that the reason he had accepted this private job today was precisely because the fare was so generous.
