Shu Shu wiped away her tears, she did not want to give herself any path of retreat. She put her only phone next to the computer and deleted all the records and information. She wrote a note on the computer, opened the drawer and saw the money Ling Qiao had left behind. She took five cigarettes, and without looking at them, she walked out of the house without even taking her key. The key was Ling Qiao's, but she knew he must have a way to get in. She wasn't worried.
Other than the main entrance, there was also the back door. Hu Xin and Ling Qiao drove in and out of the house through the back door, and so did she.
She didn't want to live an uneasy life anymore. It would be good for her to leave and treat Ling Qiao well.
"There's someone coming out of there. Could it be Shu Shu?"
Shushu panicked when she heard that. She put on the hat on her coat, grabbed her head and ran.
"She ran away! Quickly chase her!"
Damn it, if he was discovered, he would be done for. ShuShu did not know where he got the momentum from, but he continued to run towards the opposite side of the street.
A car came from the opposite direction and made a loud "hiss" sound as it braked.
Ah!" Shu Shu fell to the ground. The front of the car was right in front of her at the three branch offices. She had almost lost her life.
"Shu Shu, why is it you?!" Suddenly, Xia Yang stuck her head out. He thought he had bumped into someone, but upon seeing who it was, she shouted, "Get in the car!"
Shu Shu did not even think about it. Seeing that the reporters were about to catch up with them, she quickly jumped into the car.
Shocked, Shu Shu gasped for breath. She looked back at the reporters. Luckily, they met with Summer Yang, or else they would have caught her.
She turned her head to look at him and said shyly, "Thanks to you, why are you here?"
"I was just passing by, why did you suddenly run out here? It was so dangerous, I almost bumped into you. "
"Hehe, I'm lucky …" As she spoke, Shu Shu's nose started to feel sore. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Xia Yan turned his head just in time to see a sparkling tear drop rolling down her cheek. The tears fell on the back of her hand, but also on his heart. There had never been a girl who worried him so much. He was happy when he saw her smile, sad when he saw her cry, and he tried to find out if he couldn't hear from her, but he didn't want her to find out.
He admitted that he had been moved, that in every innocent smile, in every sad tear, this strong, lonely girl had touched his heart deeply. He wanted to give her warmth, he wanted to protect her, he didn't mind that she had someone else in her heart, he was even ready to court her, but before he could do anything, her ex-husband took her away.
Perhaps his chance had come again, he thought.
"Where are we going?"
"I can't stay by his side," she said. "I can't hold him up any longer, and I don't want to live an uneasy life like this, but I haven't sent out the ID card I got, and I don't know where I can go. Why don't you take me to the bus station first, and I'll hide in a nearby town for a while, and I can get my ID card in two weeks, and then I'll come back and get it."
"If you trust me, you can go to my place first. I live alone."
"This... Would it bother you too much? "
"There is no need to disturb me. If you are in trouble, I will not stand idly by."
ShuShu felt touched. Summer Yang was not only her boss, but also her friend. "Okay, then thank you."
Ling Qiao could never have imagined that just as he left for a moment, Shu Shu had disappeared. He only left him a short note with a few words on it — I'm leaving, there's no need to find me!
Without any warning or reason, she left just like that.
Ling Qiao crumpled the note into a ball and threw it on the ground. His eyes were practically on fire as he called her cell phone. Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang in the room.
He rushed out like a madman, circled the roads around the residential area, and then slowly expanded in circles. He drove to the Phoenix District, where there was already a demolition, a mess, he went to the Chunshu Courtyard, the huge villa was empty, there was no life in the deserted house, he went to the television station, he went to the Piazza dei, he even went to her company to look around, wherever he could think of it, he went to look.
In the middle of the night, a few cars passed by on the road. Ling Qiao drove around, saying that it was true, that he was just wandering around, that he had no destination, that he didn't know where to look, and that his beloved girl had disappeared just like that, not giving him a reason.
When he returned to his apartment, the sky to the east had turned white. He wished he could open the door and see that Shu had returned home. However, the room was still empty, so empty that it made him nervous. He dragged his tired body onto the bed and felt the wetness on his pillow.
Reaching out to touch it, he placed his finger on his tongue to taste it. Salty and astringent, it was tears. He closed his eyes. He could see ShuShu silently crying.
Something must have happened. He told her to wait for his return!
"Guo Qing, check my phone records for yesterday, 136000. Hurry."
Guo Qing quickly called back, "CEO, some text messages came in yesterday, a call came in at 7 pm."
"What's the number?"
"It's a landline, the number is 863000."
"Alright, I understand." Ling Qiao wrinkled his brows. He thought that it was Tang Xiu and Qing Qing again, but he didn't expect that it was actually his own family.
Not having time to rest, he hurried out again.
"Mom, did you look for ShuShu?! What did you tell her? " Ling Qiao stood in front of the dining table and roared at Hu Xin.
Hu Xin and Ling Zhiwei were currently eating breakfast, and they, including the servants, were all startled. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, looked at his son's furious red eyes, and was speechless, "Son …"
"Mom, you went to look for her. What did you tell her? She's gone, she's gone, she's left me, are you satisfied? All of you are satisfied?! " He had never felt so sad before. Even on the day of the divorce, he had never felt so angry. Back then, he had been confident that he could make Shu come back.
Ling Zhi Wei: "Ling Qiao, how can you talk to your mother like that? We have to have a meeting this morning to discuss this. If you're here, eat some breakfast. Don't lose your temper the moment you arrive."
His father's words made him more rational. He pulled at his hair and said in frustration, "Dad, Shu Shu went missing last night. I don't know where she went."
Ling Zhiwei sat upright, he did not panic, "If he's gone, then send people to look for him, but you have to go to the company to take charge of the overall situation. You're the dignified CEO, you can't not be there when an internal crisis happens, it will shake your morale."
Ling Qiao turned to look at her mother. "Mom, where did she go?"
"I don't know." Hu Xin quickly shook her head, she really didn't know about this.
"Shu Shu doesn't have any relatives, she wouldn't go find the Liu family. Shen Xiaoxuan is not in the country, so she has no one to rely on right now." As a girl, where could she go? Even if we meet with danger, we will not be able to seek help! "
Hu Xin felt very guilty. Ever since she asked Shu Shu to leave Ling Qiao last night, she had been feeling very guilty. She hadn't had a good night's sleep. "But as a mother, she had to think about his son's future." Son, you can't be distracted here. ShuShu will send people to look around and they will definitely be able to find her.
"Mom, aren't you guilty at all? You said you shouldn't have treated her like that before. I believed you because you were my mom, so you believed everything you said. But now, can I believe you? The trouble with the company is my responsibility, I will not shirk it, I will not shirk it, I have my plans and tactics, why do you like to cause trouble for me?! "
Hu Xin was so angry that Ling Qiao couldn't say a word. Ling Zhi Wei's advice seemed to be useless.
"Dad, mom, I will settle the company's issues. I will give Grandmother an explanation, but please don't interfere in matters of the heart. I can't even decide on my own marriage. What's the point of me living!" He really wanted to expose Tang and Qing at this moment, but he couldn't alert the enemy. The Tang Clan was just across the street, and he was worried that the wall would have ears.
Hu Xin was shocked. Although Ling Qiao had been mischievous since he was young, he had never said something as serious as this. Seeing that Ling Qiao's emotions were so agitated, Ling Zhi Wei hurriedly went forward to support his wife, reprimanding her: "Ling Qiao, don't talk to your mother like that. Everything she did, it was all for your son."
Ling Qiao took a deep breath, "Yes, I know. Ma's starting point is for my own good, but have you thought about how I feel?" You and Tang Siqing, as well as Shu Shu, all of you are the same. One by one, you are all doing this for my own good, but you never ask me if I really need your kind of ignorant good. You all have never cared about my feelings. "
After saying that, Ling Qiao turned around and left, leaving behind the weeping Hu Xin and the helpless Ling Zhi Wei.
When Ling Qiao returned to the company, he was under great pressure to communicate with his shareholders, suppressed his disgust, and then called a press conference to communicate with the public. He had been busy for a week, during which he had barely slept, often sleeping with his eyes narrowed, but not for more than three hours.
Every time, Tang Xiuqing would keep a hand in it. Her goal was only Ling Qiao to stay by her side, and not to affect him and the company. She stood up as a victim to explain herself before Zhu Ji's brushwork. The matter of the miscarriage was turned around, from a conspiracy to an accident. It had nothing to do with Shu Shu.
Of course, this was also the only request Ling Qiao insisted on.
After the press conference, Ling Qiao helped Tang Xiangqing to return to his office to rest. Ling Qiao's expression was not good, and Tang Xiuqing was even worse. To call his as pale as a sheet was not an exaggeration.
Her forehead and wrists were still covered with adhesive tape. She rolled down the stone steps, and was born with a small birth. This was extremely harmful to her body.
Seeing that beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, Ling Qiao supported her and sat her down on the sofa. "Take a rest. You don't need to worry about the following matters." His tone was even colder than before.
Tang Thirty-Six sat down and grasped Ling Qiao's arm. "Qiao, I know you still care about me. How can all these years of friendship be broken so easily?!"
