After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Zhang Ran was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. There were other people present besides her.

When Yang Tao saw that the person who came was the first mate, she wisely stood up and went back to her room.

Er Ya originally wanted to leave as well, but Zhang Ran stopped her.

Er Ya immediately sat down, afraid that Zhang Ran would change his mind and kick her out again. She stared at the first mate expectantly, wondering what he was going to say.

Noticing Er Ya's gaze, Ed didn't look at her, his eyes still focused on Zhang Ran: "Miss, a murder just happened on the second floor."

A murder? Zhang Ran subconsciously looked at Er Ya, only to see her lower her eyelids.

Ed followed her gaze and looked at Er Ya: "An old employee named Fu Gui killed his wife and hid her body in a suitcase. He tried to escape on a yacht but was caught on the spot."

Seeing that Er Ya kept her head down and couldn't see her expression, Zhang Ran turned her gaze back to Ed. "What do you plan to do with the murderer?"

When Ed saw that she was asking for his opinion, he told her the truth: "The person has already been locked up. We'll call the police as soon as the ship docks and hand them over to them." He then fell silent, waiting for Zhang Ran's instructions.

Zhang Ran said calmly, "Go outside and wait."

“Yes.” Ed turned and left.

After the door closed again, Zhang Ran put her arm around Er Ya's shoulder: "If you're feeling unwell, you can lean on my shoulder."

Er Ya leaned into her arms and said, "I'm not in pain, really."

“Hmm.” Zhang Ran did not refute. Although Er Ya hated Wu Yun, she was still her biological mother. It was normal for her to feel a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, it would be very interesting if she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all and even felt good.

She stayed quietly by her side, and after a while, Er Ya broke free from her embrace.

Zhang Ran asked softly, "Are we going to see her one last time?"

Er Ya gently shook her head: "Let's pretend we never met. The first mate will hand the body over to the police, and they'll contact my maternal grandfather's family. My mother didn't like us sisters, and even in death, the person she'd most want to see wouldn't be me." The person was already dead; there was no need for her to see her, to avoid unnecessary trouble for Xiao Yue when questioned by the police. After all, she had too many murders on her record; even if she hadn't killed someone, the police would still suspect her.

"Okay." Zhang Ran respected her decision, then suddenly asked, "Should we tell Daya and the others?"

Er Ya remained silent for a long time before finally making up her mind: "She has never gone back since the divorce, nor has she ever contacted us. In the first two years, the youngest Si Ya would still talk about missing her mother, but in the last two years, she has never mentioned it again."

"I don't plan to tell them. Let them think she's still alive." Even Siya is old enough to not need her mother's love anymore. If I tell them, they will definitely investigate how their mother died, which will bring up her own affairs and cause unnecessary trouble. So let's just leave it at that.

Seeing how thoughtful she was, Zhang Ran nodded approvingly.

Er Ya has grown up in the past few years and is now able to handle Wu Yun's death with ease, unlike when Wang Deshui died and she went to ask her for advice in the middle of the night, only to be helped by Er Ya to dispose of Wang Deshui's 'body'.

Thinking back to how Wang Deshui still had a gut feeling but was killed by her with an axe, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

After all, her biological mother had died. Seeing that Er Ya's expression was not good, Zhang Ran picked up a teacup and handed it to her.
