She had just found a quiet place to sit down when Shen Chaoshang called.
"Where are you?" Shen Canghang heard the noise around him and gently asked as he put down the documents in his hands.
"At Xiaojia's engagement party." Gu Wan'er looked around her and did not see Leng Xiaojia. She guessed that she was probably with Su Ming.
"When are you coming back?"
"It'll be a while." Gu Wan Wan lightly sighed. It was unknown what she thought of, but she lightly laughed. "Good girl, wait for me at home. When you come back, I'll make it up to you."
Gu Wanwan paused, "Compensation?"
"Hmm, what do you want?" Shen Cheng Yun rubbed his temples and waved to the people in front of him, gesturing for him to go out.
"You'll give me anything I want?"
"Of course." The image of her pouting like a spoiled child filled Shen Chenghang's ears. He felt warm inside and sighed helplessly, "Wan Wan, I missed you."
He was always like this. From time to time, he would say something intimate.
Gu Wan Wan'er smiled helplessly. "Then come back early."
"You're still saying you don't miss me, but you're already urging me to go back."
Gu Wanwan, "…"
"Wan-jie, Xin Xin isn't here, right?" Leng Xiaojia pulled Su Ming along for a while to search for Gu Wan. Finally, they found her in a corner.
"I have something on right now, I'll tell you later." Gu Wanwan hung up the phone and then answered Leng Xiaojia's question, "I'll call and ask."
She had clearly informed him in advance, so why hadn't he arrived yet?
Leng Xiaojia nodded and stood aside, not moving away.
Gu Wanwan dialed the number and went out, but her phone was already turned off. She frowned as she looked at her phone and mumbled to herself in confusion, "What's going on, my phone's been turned off."
"Did you turn off your phone?" Leng Xiaojia was surprised, "Xinxin, did something happen to you?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gu Wan Wan'er looked at Leng Xiaojia helplessly. "Don't speak nonsense on such a joyous day."
"Oh." Leng Xiaojia pouted and patted her mouth.
"Does Xin Xin live in your rental house? I'll get someone to pick her up. " Su Ming thought for a moment, then took out his phone to call his housekeeper. He told him to bring Qiao Xin over, then hung up the phone.
"Aiya, our Su Ming is still the smartest." Leng Xiaojia looked at Su Ming with a face full of admiration and spoke in a coquettish tone. When Su Ming heard his words, he felt comfortable. A satisfied smile appeared on his innocent face.
"Don't just stand here. Go back to your work." Gu Wanwan looked at the time; the banquet was about to begin. They should still be busy with important matters.
"Then Su Ming and I will be leaving first. Come and find me later." Leng Xiaojia said goodbye to Gu Wanwan and left.
People came and went in the hotel's lobby. Gu Wan glanced around and saw that they were all people who had wandered into the mall. She didn't know many of them, so she just sat in the corner and waited for Qiao Xin.
As time passed, Qiao Xin still hadn't appeared.
The feast had already begun. All sorts of people were walking around the hall with goblets in their hands.
Suddenly, from somewhere came an explosive sound. The originally lively crowd immediately became flustered. Everyone held their wine glasses in their hands as they shrieked and charged towards the door.
"What's going on?" Gu Wan Wan'er's heart skipped a beat and she quickly pulled a waiter and asked anxiously.
"The gas in the kitchen has exploded. Run!"
With that, the waiter dragged Gu Wan'er outside.
Gas explosion!
Gu Wanwan's expression changed, and she subconsciously wanted to break away from the waiter's hand.
Where is Xiao Jia now? Is it still there?
"Let me go!"
"You're crazy!" The waiter had seen Gu Wan Wan on TV before, and he was also a fanatical little fan. His face was dark, and when he saw Gu Wan trying to struggle, he immediately carried her on his shoulder and rushed out of the hotel.
The moment she rushed out of the hotel, Gu Wan Wan Wan heard two more explosions behind her, and a small fragment fell on her back.
Not far away, it was already surrounded by people. The police hadn't arrived yet, so the waiter carried Gu Wan'er and ran to a safe place before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Xiao Jia!" Is Xiao Jia still inside? " After going through so much torture, Gu Wanwan had long since lost her previous clean and refreshing look. Her originally tidied up hair was now unkempt on her shoulders, making her look extremely miserable.
"Miss Gu, calm down. If you go in now, you'll just be sending yourself to your death!" The waiter saw that Gu Wanwan was in an emotional state, so he quickly asked the person beside her to pull her over.
Gu Wan'er panicked. She quickly took out her phone to call the police, searched her whole body but couldn't find her phone. She felt even more hopeless.
The entire hotel began to burn, and one after another, people ran out of the door screaming. Some of them still had sparks on them, and Gu Wan'er was scared out of her wits. Her heart was stuck in her throat.
After an unknown amount of time, the fireman finally arrived. Gu Wan Wan Wan looked at the fireman's orderly extinguishing of the fire. The red flame was like the tongue of a demon, licking time and time again, and her heart was filled with despair.
If Xiao Jia did not come out...
The surrounding of the hotel was filled with onlookers. Gu Wan Wan'er looked at the hotel that was burning to the point where only the shelves were left, and her whole body was trembling.
She pushed the waiter aside and searched for Leng Xiaojia's figure in the crowd, "Xiaojia? Are you there? "
"Xiaojia, just answer me."
"Xiao Jia!"
There were so many people around, but none of them were familiar. Her hands began to tremble, and her eyes started to turn red.
"Wan-jie, are you alright?" Qiao Qiao, who had rushed over, saw Gu Wanwan standing in the crowd with a downcast expression and hurriedly went forward to support her.
"Xin Xin, something happened to Xiao Jia. I couldn't find her. I couldn't find her …"
Her words were incoherent, and her beautiful eyes were filled with despair.
"Wan-jie, they found it." Qiao Xin hugged Gu Wanwan, not knowing if she should say it.
"You found it?" Gu Wan Wan'er's eyes lit up, and she looked at Qiao Xin in shock, "Where? Take me to her. "
"But …"
Qiao Xin stammered, unable to speak as she looked at Gu Wan'er.
Looking at her expression, Gu Wan Wan'er felt a thump in her heart. She suddenly had a bad premonition.
"You … Why aren't you saying anything? "
Qiao Xin looked at Gu Wanwan and pursed her lips helplessly.
When Xiao Jia was running away, she was tripped by someone. Before she could even stand up, she was hit by a pillar on the roof. Now, it was burnt to a bone.
However, even if she didn't say it, Wan-Er would have already known about it.
"Wan-jie, come with me." Qiao Xin held Gu Wanwan's hand and walked towards the empty space at the back of the hotel.
Gu Wan Wan had already noticed something from her expression. She was following quietly behind her with a somewhat absent-minded expression.
Behind the hotel was an open space. Before they even got close, Gu Wanwan heard a burst of suppressed weeping.
This was Su Ming's voice.
Her legs gave way and she fell to her knees.
