Chapter 1560: Chapter 1882: Statement
Hearing that name, Ye Ranran felt a stir in her heart, but her face remained impassive: “Why would it matter to you if I remember or not?”
“I just want to ask, isn’t a life for a life enough? Do you really want them to pay with your whole family?”
“Ah.” A scream suddenly came from the other end.
Ye Ranran turned her gaze, and Fan Rou was splashing various juices and alcohol onto Fan Mei and Fan Li.
“Didn’t you want to rest? Didn’t you want to drag someone to a room? I’m giving you a reason.” Fan Rou clapped her hands.
Her sharp and caustic words exposed the little thoughts of Fan Mei and Fan Li, and both of their expressions changed abruptly: “You’re not drunk?”
“I am drunk.” Fan Rou patted her own face: “No, I’m very sober, who said I was drunk?”
Just as she was about to act the drunken fool, she caught sight of a figure not far away, her pupils constricted, and she hurriedly walked over.
Due to drinking a bit too much, her steps were a bit unsteady, her dress swaying with her movements, full of charm.
“Gu Heng, what are you doing?” Fan Rou stopped in front of Ye Ranran: “People are already dead, what use is there in pursuing this now?”
“It’s because people are dead that I want an explanation.” Gu Heng growled in a low voice.
“What kind of explanation do you want? Want Ranran to pay with her life for it?” Fan Rou glared at him.
Gu Heng’s figure wobbled a bit, unsure how to respond.
“Besides, Ranran wasn’t even aware of that incident, find whoever’s responsible, why take it out on Ranran?” Fan Rou was furious.
Why is he so fixated on Song Yue? Is it really that what’s unattainable is the best?
But people are already dead, why can’t he let it go?
“She wasn’t aware? I think she’s more aware than anyone.” Gu Heng clenched his fist: “Song Yue died without a complete body, isn’t that cruel?”
“Cruel? So if something happened to Ranran then she would’ve had a complete body? Gu Heng, don’t be so selfish.”
“Selfish? And you’re not? Historically, the victor is king, just because she won, does it mean the moral high ground is on her side?”
“And do you think Song Yue was right in her actions?”
Their sharp words clashed incessantly, neither willing to concede, leaving Ye Ranran with a headache.
“Enough.” Having spent many years by Fu Rong’s side, Ye Ranran was quite experienced in dealing with high-ranking officials, and she still carried an air of authority.
Fan Rou and Gu Heng turned to look at Ye Ranran, one tense, the other indignant.
“You say you’re here demanding an explanation from me, what exactly do you want?” Ye Ranran, as usual, despised wasting words.
“I hope you can release Song Ze’s parents, let them enjoy their twilight years.”
“Impossible.” Fan Rou refused without a thought.
Those two harbor absolute hatred towards Jun Mochan; releasing them is like dropping two bombs, it absolutely cannot be done.
“Since when is it your turn to speak here? Sister-in-law, if you have any conscience, you should release them, aren’t you pitying the elderly sitting alone in there?”
“And if released, they wouldn’t be all alone?” Fan Rou felt it was downright laughable: “Or are you saying that releasing them will bring the departed back to life?”
Ye Ranran once again found herself in a fog, but with outsiders present, she couldn’t ask too many questions.
She always acted with caution; without understanding the full story, she wouldn’t rashly agree to it.
“You should go back first; I’ll think about it,” Ye Ranran said.
The justified air made Gu Heng furious: “Even if you don’t release them, I’ll find a way to get them out.”
Ye Ranran sized him up: “You seem pretty steady, why are you saying something so impulsive? Besides, you also said the elderly have no children, no family, isn’t it good that they now have a place, free from want and worry?”
