Naturally, Lu Xining didn't sleep well that night.
It was almost dawn when I squinted for a while, but it was already late when I woke up.
After washing, she was about to call Lin Zhiyi, but she found Jin Shaoheng in the living room, and her face suddenly turned cold: "How did you get in?"
"Lin Zhiyi opened the door for me." Jin Shaoheng replied.
His eyes looked at her carefully, and even though she was wearing makeup, she could still tell that her face was not good.
"Where is she?" Lu Xining asked again.
"Going to the company." Jin Shaoheng replied.
When Lu Xining heard this, he took the bag and left.
Jin Shaoheng came over to grab her hand, but Lu Xining dodged him like the plague.
Although her reaction was expected, Jin Shaoheng was still a little hurt.
"Eat something first." Jin Shaoheng said softly.
Lu Xining then noticed that a sumptuous breakfast had already been placed on the dining room table, which he should have brought. But for her now, it was too difficult to impress her with these things.
"I was too impulsive yesterday, and I apologize to you." Jin Shaoheng said.
"Apologise?" She looked at Jin Shaoheng and asked, "Then let me ask you, if it happened again yesterday, would you change your mind?"
Jin Shaoheng looked at her and said frankly: "No."
"You——" Lu Xining was extremely angry.
But what can she do to him?
"Get lost! Get lost and don't appear in front of me again." In the end, there was only curse left.
"Xining!" Jin Shaoheng didn't want the two of them to end up like this and was trying to explain something.
"What? Do you still want to force me?" Seeing him step forward, Lu Xining asked.
Jin Shaoheng obviously had a lot to say, but in the end he swallowed it all and only warned in a gentle voice: "Eat well and take care of yourself."
But to Lu Xining's ears, these words were nothing more than hypocrisy.
When Lu Xining saw that he wouldn't leave, he simply left by himself.
After entering the studio, she saw Lin Zhiyi hiding from her with a guilty conscience.
"Tell me, how much benefit did you receive from him?" Lu Xining blocked Lin Zhiyi and asked.
"It's unfair. He said he had a misunderstanding with you. I just wanted to make some space for you." Looking at her like this, why does it feel like the misunderstanding is getting deeper?
"Misunderstanding? Do you know what he did to me?" Lu Xining felt like he was betrayed by his friend.
Lin Zhiyi looked at her in surprise. He had probably never seen her lose such a temper before.
"Xining! I just thought... you guys had a fight." She meant well.
Lu Xining also came to his senses, thinking that this was nothing to do with Lin Zhiyi in the first place, so he shouldn't take his anger out on her, and said, "I'm sorry."
When she returned to her office, her cell phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number. She didn't want to answer it at first, but the other party persisted.
Only after Lu Xining answered the phone did she find out that Gu's mother had fainted while buying groceries in the supermarket and had been sent to the hospital, so she hurried over.
Mother Gu was sent to the emergency room and then into the ward.
When she woke up, she saw Lu Xining standing beside her.
"Xining, why are you here?" Gu's mother was very surprised.
"You fainted while shopping for groceries. They couldn't contact Brother Yu, so they called me." Lu Xining replied.
"That's really troublesome for you." Mother Gu said.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Lu Xining didn't care, and then asked: "By the way, where is Brother Yu? How can I let you buy your own food?"
"My health has been good these past few days. I didn't want to buy anything. I just wanted to relax, but I didn't expect it to cause more trouble." Mother Gu explained. After speaking, she frowned and asked: "You mean you still called Yu Zhi?
Doesn’t make sense?”
Lu Xining nodded.
"I don't know what this child was busy with. He didn't come back last night." Mother Gu said worriedly.
yesterday?
Lu Xining thought about the injuries on his body. Could it be that he was worried about his mother?
"Have you seen him?" Mother Gu asked after seeing her expression.
"I did see him yesterday. He - he's very good. Maybe he was too busy and forgot to charge his phone. Don't worry." Lu Xining lied and comforted.
"That's good." Gu's mother felt relieved when she heard that she had met Gu Yuzhi.
"Xining, thank you." Now that the family has encountered changes, Lu Xining is the only one who will never leave them.
"You loved me so much before, why are you talking about this now?" Lu Xining said.
When they were in junior high school, Gu's mother came back to China to discuss business for a while, and they got in touch more.
At that time, Gu's mother often took her and Gu Yuzhi out to eat, go to the amusement park, buy gifts and so on. She would never favor one over the other. People who didn't know about it even praised her for being so lucky and having both children. Lu Xining remembered all this.
But Gu's mother felt guilty because it was obviously because of Lu Xining that she rescued Gu Yuzhi from the nanny.
She should be grateful, but when something happened to the Lu family, they chose to hide it from Gu Yuzhi...
Naturally, what she said now meant nothing.
Mother Gu was already ill and had no energy, so she fell asleep again soon after.
Lu Xining looked at her sleeping face and thought that Gu Yuzhi had not been able to contact her since yesterday. When she thought about his expression carefully, she always felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
She tried calling Gu Yuzhi's cell phone a few more times, but it was still turned off, so she simply called the police.
The police gave her feedback the next day, confirming that Gu Yuzhi was missing and that the last person who had contact with him was Jin Shaoheng.
Why is it him again?
Lu Xining hesitated again and again, and went to find Gu's mother while she was asleep.
When they got out of the elevator, they bumped into Liu Weijie and Jiang Cheng who were about to leave.
"Madam." The two of them shouted unexpectedly.
"Call me Miss Lu." Lu Xining corrected.
They looked at each other, and then looked at Jin Shaoheng in unison.
Jin Shaoheng had also stood up at this moment, his eyes locked on Lu Xining. He thought that she would not take the initiative to come to him again.
Liu Weijie and Jiang Cheng left quickly, and they were the only two people left in the space.
"Where is Brother Yu?" Lu Xining asked straight to the point.
Jin Shaoheng frowned: "You came to me just for him?"
