Chapter 880: Chapter 880: You’ll Go to Prison (Seeking Monthly Pass)
The car arrived at the café, and Zhou Ran was already there.
She had ordered a cup of coffee for herself and was gently stirring it.
Of course, she had also ordered a cup of fruit tea and some pastries for Xu Chaomu.
Soon, she looked up and saw Xu Chaomu walking in from outside.
This girl’s belly was growing day by day. After a long time not seeing her, the baby inside her belly had gotten quite big.
If she remembered correctly, it was more than seven months now, nearly time for the birth.
She lowered her head subtly and continued stirring the coffee in her cup.
Xu Chaomu also saw Zhou Ran upon entering, who was sitting next to a window.
The window was open, and Zhou Ran, dressed in a dark blue cheongsam, sat there quietly and calmly, unfazed and composed.
From Xu Chaomu’s perspective, Zhou Ran looked the same as ever, just as young as thirteen years before, with just a few strands of white hair added to her head.
There was a moment when Xu Chaomu was sitting by the window when she felt a bit dazed.
She still remembered the first time she met Zhou Ran; Zhou Ran was like a celestial being descended to earth, giving her an astoundingly beautiful impression.
Years had passed, and seeing her again today, she still carried that quality.
It’s just that, in her mind, the quality had ultimately taken on a different flavor.
“Auntie Zhou,” Xu Chaomu approached her and called out.
“Sit,” Zhou Ran said indifferently.
Xu Chaomu sat down carefully, opposite Zhou Ran, while Xiaogao waited for her in the car outside the café.
“What did you want to see me for?” Zhou Ran went straight to the point.
She knew about Shen Chi’s proposal; now, she lifted her head and saw the shiny Ruby Ring on Xu Chaomu’s finger.
She knew quality, and she knew that Ruby was priceless.
The price was secondary; what mattered was its rarity, one in ten thousand, and even money couldn’t necessarily buy it.
Xu Chaomu didn’t say much else and took out the journal from her handbag.
Zhou Ran’s brows furrowed as she watched her movements, and the spoon in her hand paused slightly.
Xu Chaomu flipped the journal to a particularly important page and handed it to Zhou Ran; this page was just written by Uncle Mo, about her mother Xu Mengxi’s reunion with an old friend.
On Zhou Ran’s face, she saw a trace of disdain; she seemed uninterested in reading it.
“What’s this?” Zhou Ran asked flatly, her brow furrowed, not taking it.
“It’s a journal, with some events from thirteen years ago written in it.”
“Events from thirteen years ago?” Zhou Ran hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu to seek her out to talk about this, “I’m sorry, I’m not interested, take it back.”
“If you’re not interested, I can tell you about it,” Xu Chaomu said earnestly, “It’s written that before the gas explosion, my mom was sick, and during one of her visits to the hospital…”
“Enough, I’m not interested,” Zhou Ran cut her off, her expression slightly displeased, “If you asked to meet just to talk about this, then sorry, you can leave.”
Light from outside the window shone on Zhou Ran’s face, making her cool visage seem even more isolated.
“Can you listen to me until the end?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“I don’t want to hear it.” Zhou Ran was very decisive. “Don’t mention a word about what happened thirteen years ago in front of me!”
“Are you feeling guilty as a thief?!” Xu Chaomu said coldly. “I’m not planning to hold you accountable for the death of my mother anymore, but now, I just want to ask you a few questions.”
Xu Chaomu was somewhat agitated, which was a stark contrast to Zhou Ran’s unrippled calm.
“You could hold me accountable if you want to,” Zhou Ran sneered. “Do you think by saying you won’t hold me accountable, I will start liking you? Will I be grateful to you? Not at all.”
“You!” Xu Chaomu said angrily. “Why don’t you have any sense of remorse? I seriously don’t intend to hold that matter against you anymore, after all, thirteen years have passed, but I just want to know some details.”
She wanted to know who this old friend her mother met was, and also, Mo Shuifu mentioned that a young man had once come to visit her mother; she wanted to know who that man was…
She didn’t believe Zhou Ran didn’t know; at the very least, if Zhou Ran could kill her mother, she must have known the address of their house long ago.
“You also know that thirteen years have passed?” Zhou Ran spoke indifferently. “Sorry, I don’t remember anything.”
“Do you really want me to take you to court? You should know, if there’s evidence and a witness, you can’t escape the law for intentional murder—you’ll end up in prison,” Xu Chaomu said, truly angry.
“Do you think you can threaten me?” Zhou Ran retorted. “In my opinion, you wouldn’t dare to sue because you’re afraid to lose Achi, right?”
Xu Chaomu was taken aback. Zhou Ran’s words were always so piercing, hitting her right in the heart.
Zhou Ran continued, “Achi found out about this matter a long time ago, but he has been hiding it, and never even thought about telling you. Now, if you bring this up again, Achi will definitely not forgive you. After all, as you just admitted, thirteen years have passed.”
Xu Chaomu’s heart pounded violently, her eyes filled with burning anger.

She clenched her fists, barely able to contain her resentment, her shoulders trembling with fury.
Why can an executioner be so arrogant, why is she not afraid of anything?
She admitted, Zhou Ran was right; she was afraid of losing Shen Chi, she loved him, she wanted to be with him…
But why didn’t Zhou Ran have any remorse, not even a little bit?
Did Zhou Ran feel in her heart that her mother deserved to die, that there was nothing worth sympathizing with…?
Zhou Ran added, “Even though he has given you everything, even at the cost of being our enemy, you must have noticed, he hasn’t hurt us at all. Because, no matter what, I am his biological mother, and Cexian is his biological father.”
Xu Chaomu’s heart trembled. Each time, Zhou Ran could pinpoint her vulnerability with such accuracy that no matter how strong her momentum was, it disappeared in Zhou Ran’s presence.
“Don’t you feel any guilt for what you did thirteen years ago?!” Xu Chaomu questioned furiously.
“Guilt?” A hint of confusion flickered in Zhou Ran’s eyes. “Sorry, but no, not at all.”
“You…” Xu Chaomu clenched her teeth in anger. “Aren’t you afraid that I will stop caring and take you to court?!”
Her heart couldn’t stop racing, beating intensely.
“As long as you can find the evidence, be my guest,” Zhou Ran responded emotionlessly, her expression unaffected.
After stirring her coffee a few times, she picked up the cup and took a gentle sip.
Compared to her calmness, Xu Chaomu was much more agitated.
Xu Chaomu clenched her fists. She really couldn’t stand watching Zhou Ran be so shameless.
“I have evidence in my hands. Do you believe me?” Xu Chaomu said.
“Hah.” Zhou Ran let out a cold laugh and continued drinking her coffee. “If you have evidence, then sue me. Telling me here doesn’t mean much at all.”
