Only then did Wang Yufan calm down though he wished to strangle that mother and son pair with his bare hands, his mother was much more important which was why instead of rushing back home and confronting Madam Bai, Wang Yufan called his housekeeper and asked him to bring a set of clothes to the Fu mansion while leaving behind a message that he will be going to a temple to pray for his mother's safety.
In the Wang house, when the Old master Wang heard that Wang Yufan was going to a temple to pray for the safe return of his mother, his eyes could not help but turn red. He nodded and then waved his hand and sent the housekeeper away asking him to bring the necessary needs which Wang Yufan might need when he was inside the temple praying for his mother.
" What a good child, what a good child," Old Master Wang muttered with a sigh as he wiped his eyes and glanced at his son who was sitting on the couch with a dubious and shocked look on his face, he was like this ever since he found out that Su Qian was missing.
Though he looked like he was grieving, Old Master Wang had no desire to sympathise with his son and ruthlessly reprimanded him, " Now that Qian Qian is gone, you can stay with that woman and her son. I, this old man will go and accompany Yufan in the temple and stay away from your fun."
Old Master Wang naturally blamed his son for everything that happened in their family, he was old but even he was not blind to the schemes of that woman named Madam Bai and knew that she was thinking of ways to become the mistress of the Wang family but his son was the only one who was stupid. He thought that the woman whom he was once infatuated with was as pure as white snow and did not even have the slightest bit of hidden intentions inside her heart.
Maybe it was his blindness or maybe he was stubborn enough to pretend that nothing was wrong with Madam Bai since he was the one who chose her.
" Father, what are you saying?" When Master Wang heard that his father was going to stay in the temple he panicked and immediately rushed to stop his father and then said, " You are already so old if you go to the temple who will take care of you ?"
" Why? My daughter-in-law is gone and so is my grandson! What else is there for me?" Old Master Wang sneered at his son and then flicked his sleeves before turning to leave as he walked out of the living room he glanced at the mother and son duo who was standing afar in their position as if they knew that they were in the wrong.
He scoffed and then walked past them while muttering, " I hope that this matter had nothing to do with anyone in this family or else, I will make sure that the person will suffer a life worse than death."
Though it seemed that he was warning the servants and the people in the living room, Madam Bai knew that this old man was cursing her. A vicious look flashed in her eyes before it vanished and she subtly glanced at the old man who was walking away—— she will take care of this trashy old man soon enough now that Su Qian was gone.
Back then if not for this old man interfering with her and Master Wang's relationship, she would be the one who will be sitting in the position of Madam Wang!
It was still too early to hold the funeral of this old man since he hadn't written his will yet.
She turned to look at Master Wang who was once her lover and the father of her son and then said with a concerned voice, " Brother Wang don't worry, sister Qian will be fine."
Master Wang however was not in the mood to play along with the solicitous Madam Bai, he was still worried about Su Qian. It would be wrong to say that he was not worried about his wife, they have stayed with each other for so long and even had a son, even though they married each other because of their family's arrangement, he still learned to care about his wife.
How can he not worry when she was gone?
With a nod, he turned around and left Madam Bai alone. Once he was gone, Madam Bai's expression turned dark at once—— she knew that Master Wang's heart had changed, he was no longer in love with her as he once was when he was young but there was no hurry, she can easily make him love her again as she had the love potion given to her by the master.
All she needed was a drop.
" Mom, is everything fine? Why didn't that bastard come troubling us?" Wang Ran asked, he and his mother had deliberately played along in front of Wang Yufan thinking that he will confront them causing a ruckus which would cause his father and grandfather to be disappointed with him why was it that he went to a temple instead?
Madam Bai furrowed her brows as well, " I have no idea but you need not worry. That b* tch will never be able to come back unless she is rescued by some immortal. She is there for all eternity or until she dies."
As she spoke, a malicious look flashed in her eyes. After working and waiting for so many years, she will not allow anyone to snatch what belongs to her no matter what!
This time she was sure that Su Qian will not be able to make a comeback and without her, that son of hers would be like a fish lying on a chopping board for her to cut and chop!
" All you need to know is that keep close contact with that old man," she whispered as she looked around and made sure that no one was in the living room. " Keep him happy and make him realise your worth, let's see if he still ignores you."
---------------22-2---------
On the other side, once Fu Yu Sheng confirmed that the yacht could be used, he and Song Yan picked up their luggage which held the important articles and then drove towards the dock together with Wang Yufan. Their actions were swift and prompt no one was able to detect their movements since Fu Yu Sheng was using the yacht which belonged to one of his clients.
However, as they arrived at the dock, the weather suddenly turned, the clouds which were only covering the sky in a thin layer abruptly thickened and then started to shudder with thunder and lightning, and even the waves which were silent and calm started to move violently against the dock washing the entire dock with water.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on? The weather how did it change so suddenly? I mean though the weather forecast department did mention that there was going to be light rainfall they did not forecast a storm! This is too strange!" Wang Yufan's voice was burning with anxiety as he looked at the waves which were rising and falling heavily.
His entire head was covered with question marks, though their city was indeed located close to the sea. They have hardly witnessed storms and tornadoes given that they were situated in a land which was like a half basin protecting them from most of the dangers. The last time there was a storm it was ages ago, like when he was young and in his diapers—- he heard about the storm from his grandfather and ever since then there had never been a storm this crazy before.
When Song Yan saw that the weather had changed from bad to worse, her heart sank even further. They needed to go to that ghost island tonight or else it will be too late for them to save, Madam Wang!
She looked at the crashing waves and then said, " There is no other choice even if this looks risky and dangerous, if we want to rescue Madam Wang we need to go and lower the yacht into the crashing waves, don't worry I will try to keep the yacht as stable as I can."
Fu Yu Sheng's face grew unsightly when he heard the words which were spoken by his wife, it was not that he did not wish to rescue Madam Wang but these crashing waves —— it would be impossible to arrive at the ghost island without any trouble.
As for whether or not this yacht will be able to withstand the great pressure, he had no idea!
" We need to go," said Song Yan as she emphasised the importance of leaving as soon as possible. She turned to look at Fu Yu Sheng and then said, " There is no point in waiting here anymore. Get the yacht in the water."
" I understand," though Fu Yu Sheng wished for Song Yan to think through her decisions again, he still agreed with her. There was no other choice, who asked him to be friends with Wang Yufan and his mother to treat him so well? Now he can only repay by putting his life in danger!
