100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 143 Looking for Someone_1
Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Looking for Someone_1
At that moment, with a creak, the door to Gu Hangshen’s office opened.
All four of them looked over.
Good heavens!!!
Was this still their sharp and decisive BOSS Gu?
His expression listless, beard scruffy, clothes wrinkled and hanging limply on his frame, who knows how many days he hadn’t changed.
"Cough, um, brother, you should get some more rest! We’ll... we’ll go look for little sister-in-law!" Shen Letian stuttered out.
Sheng Yu quickly nodded in agreement, worried that Gu Hangshen looking like this would cause the company employees, as well as the cleaning ladies, to generate bad rumors that might lead to panic among the people and a plummet in the stock market...
A dam breach starts with an ant hole, one must nip it in the bud!
Leng Tou tapped his fingers on the table and pondered, "Boss, have you asked the old mansion?"
Gu Hangshen rubbed his temples, "I’ve asked."
Tang Yu also replied, "Xiao Jing has asked too, the old master said he hasn’t seen anyone and asked if Xiaoqiao hadn’t gone off with Qin Yao? He was so worried when he asked if something had happened! Xiao Jing hurried to reassure him that there was nothing wrong and didn’t dare to call again!"
"Is that so?" Leng Tou was also puzzled.
"Shall we make another call to try? Maybe if she had nowhere else to go, she went back there! How could a perfectly fine person just vanish without a trace?" Shen Letian suggested.
However, Sheng Yu shook his head, thinking it unlikely, "Given Xiaoqiao’s relationship with the Gong family, she definitely won’t return there! Don’t you know how long it’s been since she went home!"
Listening to the four men’s discussion, Gu Hangshen, with his mind in turmoil, dialed the old mansion’s phone.
At that time, Grandfather Gong was downstairs, pondering over what to cook for his precious granddaughter at noon.
Gong Xiaoqiao was still asleep upstairs, seemingly exhausted recently. Most of the time since her return, she was sleeping, and he didn’t have the heart to wake her.
The clear ring of the phone startled Grandfather Gong, who hurried to answer it, careful not to disturb Gong Xiaoqiao.
"Hello, Grandfather Gong, has Xiaoqiao come to your place?" Gu Hangshen’s voice was quite weary.
"You scoundrel, I entrusted my beloved daughter to you, and you went and lost her. Now you have the nerve to ask me for her!" Grandfather Gong spoke agitatedly, his mustache bristling with each word.
"Grandfather Gong..."
Before Gu Hangshen could finish, Grandfather Gong had already hung up, "Don’t ask anymore, even if I knew where she was, I wouldn’t tell you!"
Still uneasy, Grandfather Gong angrily unplugged the phone cord next.
Gu Hangshen: "..."
Grandfather Gong’s voice was so loud that all four of them heard what he said over the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Hangshen left immediately without saying another word.
"Boss, Boss, where are you going?" Shen Letian called out from behind.
"Don’t shout, he must be going to the old mansion," Leng Tou said.
"The old mansion? Didn’t the old master say she wasn’t there?" Shen Letian was confused.
"The way the old master said that last sentence was practically a giveaway," Leng Tou explained.
Sheng Yu also nodded in agreement, "Think about it, the old master loves Xiaoqiao so much. If he didn’t already know where Xiaoqiao was, how could he still have the energy to scold people with such vigor!"
...
The Gong family mansion.
Gong Xiaoqiao finally woke up fully rested, sprinting downstairs energetically to help Aunt Lin with the cooking.
The three days back here were the happiest moments for her. Here, she could forget everything and completely relax.
If possible, she really didn’t want to leave, but she knew she had a long journey ahead. For her and her mother’s dreams, no matter how difficult, she must carry on.
