Chapter 256: Disappearance, Qiao Baier Was Driven Away

's already three months pregnant. Maybe she's a bit thinner, even though she's carrying twins, it doesn't show very much. But you can feel the little lives inside her tummy by touching her palms."Bec...Just this afternoon at 3 o'clock, Zhu Xiaowei was washing dishes at Pei's house when she received a phone call.

Gu Ruyue called and said that she tried calling Qiao Bao'er but no one answered.

“Today, Qiao Baoer is home alone. I’m out.” Zhu Xiaowei heard her say that and felt a little anxious, “I’ll give her a call in a bit to check on her.”

"Joe Baoer's mental state has been pretty good lately."

Zhu Xiaowei chatted with her for a few moments. It had actually been many days since she'd last seen Gu Ruyue, and then she took the initiative to ask her to have dinner at her apartment that evening. Gu Ruyue readily agreed.

After Zhu Xiaowei hung up the phone, she immediately called Qiao Bao'er.

But only the sound of Doodle's busy signal.

A sense of anxiety suddenly filled my heart, and I rushed to tell Pei Haoran a few words before quickly packing up and hurrying home.

Actually, nothing happened at Qiao Bao'er's place in the apartment either. She just went to the guest room to get medicine, and she threw her phone on the TV cabinet in the living room.

She found a bottle of antidepressants that the hospital had prescribed for her, unscrewed the cap directly, took out two pills, and swallowed them without water. Her expression as she took the medicine was very mechanical.

She doesn't want to get sick again, and she doesn't want to worry the people around her.

She can't get sick again.

Get well soon.

She sat curled up on the sofa for a while, her eyes blankly staring at the empty apartment. A heavy negativity weighed down her chest, making it feel like she was utterly alone in the world, unsure of whom to trust.

The TV stand's phone screen flickered, displaying two missed calls.

She put the medicine bottle down and walked over, just about to look at her phone when she heard the sound of a key turning in the door.

She thought it was Zhu Xiaowei or Tang Yu back, but it wasn't.

As soon as the other party walked in, they started swearing and yelling, "I heard you're occupying my daughter's house and refusing to pay rent"

"Looking at you, you seem like a decent person, how can you be so shameless"

She is a woman in her 60s, wearing a black floral chiffon dress that gives off a bit of a fashionable city woman vibe. However, with the low-quality foundation and lipstick on her face, she looks out of place.

qiao Bao'er didn't know her and took a moment to speak, "Zhu Xiaowei's mother"

"Even your own aunt wouldn't call you by name, a person like you, my daughter has been so kind to you, do you have any conscience Are you just bullying her because Xiao Zhu is easygoing"

Why are you talking to her so much, just tell her to get lost.

Then another figure walked in, it was Ma Jun, Zhu Xiaowei's older brother, her stepfather's son.

Compared to the last time they met, Ma Jun looked much more energetic. He was wearing a black denim shirt, his hair dyed in various colors, and his figure seemed a bit stouter and rounder, as if he had been indulging in a chaotic nightlife. You could even see his bulging belly from under the shirt, like someone who had overindulged in fried and spicy food. He looked like a hooligan.

"Hey, I said, get out of here now!" he growled again.

"Your husband is quite wealthy, isn't he You want to mooch off my sister and live here for free..."

Ma Jun sized her up, seemingly with some hesitation in his heart. He spoke hesitantly, "Either give me 50,000 yuan right now, or get out immediately. Don't think that because you have a man backing you up, I'm afraid of you. This is our house, you get out, get out!!"

He rebuked and berated them angrily, while Qiao Baoer remained motionless, staring fixedly.

"This is Zhu Xiaowei's house," she said flatly, her voice devoid of emotion.

"This is my daughter's house!"

That Zhu Ma over there raised her voice and shouted, speaking harshly. "My daughter's house is my house too, and we're moving in now. You're just one of my daughter's friends, acting like a leech, clinging to us for free! Let me tell you, this place isn't yours anymore. Get your things packed up and move out immediately, don't even think about taking advantage of us any longer."

At 4:05 pm, Zhu Xiaowei and Gu Ruoyan happened to meet downstairs in their apartment complex. The two of them entered the building together.

Then, as soon as he walked in, he saw that all the things inside the apartment were scattered everywhere.

"What's going on, Mom Why are you here"

Zhu Xiaowei saw a familiar figure and immediately ran over, seeing her mother moving furniture in the guest room. “Mom, don't move things around, this is my friend’s room.”

"What kind of friend is this Have you gone crazy Just giving your friend your nice house for free" Zhu Mu turned her head and scolded her angrily with a dark face.

"I have an extra room anyway, my friend needed it, so I let her move in. What's wrong with that"

“You are just stupid. Why don't you rent out an extra room You could make money every month! You always say you’re poor, are you hiding your money You only give me such a small amount for living expenses each month. How could you raise such an unfilial daughter like you Is your mother more important or your friends”

Zhu Xiaowei was furious. She had known all along that her mother had a unreasonable temper.

And just then, Gu Ruyue's voice came from outside the door, "Xiao Zhu, where is Baobao I don't see her"

Gu Ruyue walked around the apartment but couldn't find Qiao Baoer. She immediately became a bit anxious, "Did Qiao Baoer go out"

"She didn't say she was going out today." Zhu Xiaowei subconsciously replied, her mind flashed, and immediately shouted to her mother, "Mom, where's my friend Did you see her when you came over"

Zhu Mu's expression dodged a little, she mumbled, "She left."

"Did you make her leave"

"What's wrong with me asking her to leave This is my house! Let her take advantage like that Are you stupid" Zhu Mu said, as if it were obvious.

Zhu Xiaowei's face was ashen. "She wasn't feeling well, how could you be so domineering and force her to leave Mom, you went too far!"

Zhu Mu, upon hearing Zhu Xiao Wei speak to her in such a bold manner, immediately became displeased and scolded her.

"If she's sick, take her to the hospital. Don't burden me with her at my place."

"What are you saying!" Gu Ruoyan couldn't stand it anymore, "She's just not feeling well lately, don't speak to her so harshly."

For a time, this small apartment was noisy and bustling.

"...Her phone went straight to voicemail..."

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let her stay home alone." Zhu Xiaowei anxiously kept redialing the number.

Zhu Mu saw their nervous posture and felt something was wrong. "That woman couldn't be mentally ill, could she How did you bring someone like that home Quickly take her to a mental hospital."

"Can you please just shut up!" Zhu Xiaowei was furious.

“What’s your attitude I did all this for you, didn’t I Your brother just found a few miniature wireless cameras in the trash. Do you think decent people would use these things From now on, I forbid you from associating with her. She's involved in all sorts of shady stuff.”

Zhu Xiaowei didn't know what her mother meant by a miniature camera, but she did notice that the whiteboard they hadn't used in ages had been taken out and placed on the sofa. There were some marks from pen strokes around the edges of the whiteboard.

Who took it out

The writing on the whiteboard had been erased completely, as if something had been written there but the author didn't want anyone to know.

"I contacted Tang Yu and asked him to send people to search everywhere." Gu Ruyue couldn't stand Zhu Xiaowei's uncultured mother, she didn't want to stay with such a person for another moment, so she walked out directly.

Zhu Xiaowei also quickly followed up, "Then let's drive around the neighborhood."

"Where did she go She was driven out and has nowhere to go." Gu Ruyue walked beside her, her heart filled with anxiety.

The elevator was going down, and they went straight to the garage.

Zhu Xiaowei was about to grab the car keys, but her movements stopped for a moment. Her voice was hesitant. “I should call Jun's family…” was a steady spring drizzle that quickly soaked everyone's clothes. 。The old man selling pet dogs also quickly gathered his puppies to take shelter from the rain. Parkgoers hurried under awnings, Qia...
