After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 1841 Aunt Yao didn't come today?

“This kind of game is really interesting,” Zhang Ran explained, encouragingly adding, “You can try it sometime, like doctor and patient, policeman and prisoner, queen and her harem of male concubines…”

"Stop talking!" Er Ya quickly stopped Zhang Ran as they were almost at the restaurant entrance. If she kept talking, others would hear. She couldn't look at those people in uniforms; they would make her blush. She was no longer afraid.

As expected, they were stopped at the door. Zhang Ran immediately identified herself: "We are friends of the groom. I need to make a phone call."

Just as she was about to dial Mu Mingqi's number, Cheng Mingtai strode out from inside, looked at her and said, "You've finally arrived. My brother and sister-in-law thought you weren't coming." His gaze then fell on Er Ya, "Come in quickly, my girlfriend is here too, want to sit at the same table?"

Cheng Mingtai's girlfriend is Qiao Xi, who is both Zhang Ran's roommate and friend. Er Ya also knows Qiao Xi, and seeing someone she knows makes her feel more relaxed.

Cheng Mingtai led the two of them to the table where Qiao Xi was sitting.

Qiao Xi's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Ran. "Xiao Yue, the wedding is about to start, and you haven't arrived yet. I thought you wouldn't be able to make it." After all, Zhang Ran had been out of contact for the past few days, and only replied to her message yesterday saying that she had lost her phone and was still in Beijing.

“It’ll be quick to fly here,” Zhang Ran explained with a smile. “I have many friends here, and it’s still early. I haven’t seen them in a long time, so I’ll go visit them.”

Qiao Xi remembered that Zhang Ran had bought a private jet, which allowed her to fly to other places whenever she wanted. She said enviously, "You really know how to enjoy life. When will I buy a plane too?" The game company was booming, and the shopping platform was also on the rise. With her current net worth, she could certainly afford to buy a plane, but she might not be able to afford to use it. Just the cost of purchasing flight routes was enough to scare her away. She would rather buy a house or a car.

"Ahem." Cheng Mingtai coughed lightly, reminding Qiao Xi not to discuss such topics in this setting.

Qiao Xi is usually very aloof, but seeing that Zhang Ran was talking a little more, she stood up, pulled Zhang Ran to sit next to her, and asked her how she lost her phone. Although Zhang Ran replied to the message yesterday, she did not ask why.

Zhang Ran lied without batting an eye: "I wasn't out having fun. I didn't notice someone took it."

Others were used to it; phone theft was rampant these days, especially in places like train stations, where phone theft was commonplace, since phones could be sold for money immediately.

But Qiao Xi's eyes flashed with a strange light upon hearing this, and she quickly changed the subject. Didn't she know Zhang Ran well? How could she not notice her phone being stolen? There was something seriously wrong with what she said. Apart from their table, everyone else present was waiting to catch the culprit and get promoted. They couldn't let them hear this.

Zhang Ran and the others arrived right on time; the wedding started less than ten minutes after they sat down.

Xia Wei, dressed in a uniform and wearing medals, went on stage, leading Mu Mingqi, who was wearing a suit, onto the stage.

Although Mu Mingqi was an undercover agent, apart from his former superior, no one else present knew his true identity. They only knew that he was Xia Wei's boyfriend whom she had been waiting for for a long time.

Zhang Ran looked around the wedding venue and asked Qiao Xi, "Didn't Aunt Yao come today?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, "I'm not quite sure either." She turned to Cheng Mingtai and asked, "Why didn't Auntie come?" Logically speaking, Yao Lan had always treated Mu Mingqi like her own son, and she should have arrived early for his wedding today.

When Cheng Mingtai mentioned his mother, a judge, he gave a wry smile: "My mother is too busy. She had a case to go to court today. She came by an hour ago and left again."
