Chu Yu was very anxious. He knew clearly where the problem lay, but it was difficult to solve.
Liu Shishi's condition just keeps getting worse. Mental illness is too complicated to be cured simply by relying on medical technology.
Lin Feiran had become more open-minded now. She had never had much hope for herself and Chu Yu. Whatever the future held for Chu Yu and Liu Shishi had, it had nothing to do with her, so why should she feel bad?
She just had to do her job conscientiously. Although she felt bad, it was just a suffocating feeling, and she could get through it.
Not long after returning to work, one day when Lin Feiran was leaving get off work, she received an urgent document that needed Chu Yu's signature. She went to the office to find him, but he was not there. Qiao Sen said he had left.
Chu Yu usually works overtime until very late recently, and sometimes even stays in the company. It is rare for him to leave so early today.
Qiao Sen asked, "Is the document urgent? Will it be too late to sign it tomorrow?"
Lin Feiran: "It's too late. They're waiting over there. We need to hand over the documents tonight."
Qiao Sen: "Then call Mr. Chu and ask him. If he's already home, go directly to his house and ask him to sign."
Lin Feiran called Chu Yu, but no one answered. The same was true for Qiao Sen. Neither of Chu Yu's numbers could be reached.
Qiao Sen was puzzled. "What's going on with Mr. Chu? It's rare to see him not answering the phone for so long... How about you go to his house and find him directly?"
Lin Feiran had no other choice but to do this. Although she didn't know whether Chu Yu had returned home, she could wait for him at his house even if he hadn't come back yet.
Lin Feiran went to Moonlight Villa and rang the doorbell. A maid answered the phone.
Lin Feiran: "Hello, is Mr. Chu home yet?"
The maid paused for a moment before answering, not knowing whether she had gone to confirm. "No, Mr. Chu hasn't come back yet. Miss Lin, is there anything you need? Why don't you come in and wait for him?"
The gate of the manor opened. Lin Feiran went in and knocked on the door of Moonlight Villa. The maid who came out to open the door was the same one.
The maid also introduced herself enthusiastically: "My name is Mrs. Zhang, and I am Miss Liu Shishi's maid. You must be Miss Lin, right?"
Lin Feiran: "Yes, I have something to talk to Mr. Chu about, but I couldn't get through to him on the phone, so I came to his house to see if he was back."
Her eyes passed Mrs. Zhang and saw Liu Shishi in the living room.
Liu Shishi also turned her wheelchair and came over here.
"Mrs. Zhang, why are you still standing there? Please invite Miss Lin in."
Then, he said to Lin Feiran, "Miss Lin, please come in. Mr. Chu hasn't come home today, but he usually comes home every day recently, but he might be late. If you have something urgent to do, you can wait here for him to come back. Please take a seat."
Lin Feiran paused and sat down on the sofa. Mrs. Zhang brought a fruit plate and snacks, and also made tea.
Liu Shishi: "Ms. Lin, please take a rest. Mrs. Zhang, turn on the TV and turn up the air conditioner. It's still quite cold tonight."
Lin Feiran looked at Liu Shishi expressionlessly.
Although Liu Shishi's attitude wasn't overly enthusiastic, it was natural and appropriate, impeccable. She was like a thoughtful and considerate hostess entertaining guests.
But the premise is that she is really the hostess of this Moonlight Villa.
She herself was also a temporary guest staying here, but when Lin Feiran came to her house, her every word and action acted like the host.
Either Liu Shishi's depression is not that serious, or she is not completely hopeless, and she can still be scheming and show off her power to her rival to declare her status;
Or maybe she didn't mean it, but she had been treated like the hostess at Moonlight Villa recently, so she had gotten used to it.
When Lin Feiran thought of this second possibility, she felt like there was a large lump of bitter and astringent stuff blocking her chest.
Liu Shishi and Chu Yu live under the same roof. Although Chu Yu has been going out early and coming back late every day recently and probably doesn't spend much time at home, the nature of living together is different after all, and their relationship may have been restored long ago.
Mrs. Zhang poured tea for Lin Feiran. Liu Shishi said, "Miss Lin, try this tea. It's the pre-Qingming special grade Baihao Yinzhen. Mr. Chu particularly likes this kind of tea."
What she said seemed to be just ordinary polite words, just a few simple sentences, but between the lines, she revealed the close relationship between her and Chu Yu.
Lin Feiran couldn't help but move, so she picked it up and took a sip. She felt that the bitter taste seemed to penetrate her internal organs.
She didn't want to stay here any longer. She looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock. It would be bad to wait too late at someone else's house.
Liu Shishi: "Miss Lin, are you in a hurry to go back? If there's anything, I can wait for Mr. Chu to come back and tell him."
Lin Feiran didn't dare to tell Liu Shishi about the matter. Who knew if she would secretly make trouble?
She couldn't wait until tomorrow, so she could go to the Moonlight Villa and wait for Chu Yu to come back, right? Even if she had to stand by the main road and wait, it would be much more comfortable than waiting here!
Lin Feiran picked up the document that needed to be signed and said, "Nothing else, it's just this document that needs Mr. Chu's signature. It's getting late, and it's still uncertain whether Mr. Chu will be home tonight. I won't bother you anymore. I'll try to find Mr. Chu."
After saying that, she said goodbye and left Moonlight Villa without caring about Liu Shishi and Mrs. Zhang's repeated requests to stay.
Lin Feiran's car was parked on the roadside near the gate of Moonlight Villa. Whenever Chu Yu went home, he would definitely pass by here.
She called or sent a message to Chu Yu from time to time, but there was still no response.
It was past eleven o'clock, when Lin Feiran was almost asleep in the car, when her cell phone rang. Chu Yu finally called her back.
"Feiran, I'm sorry, I was called away tonight for something important. Is there something urgent you need to talk to me about?"
He has an elder friend who is much older than him. The elder has been seriously ill for a long time and is in a dying state tonight. The elder has no other close relatives, so he is the only one who can see him off to his final resting place.
So he walked in a hurry, set his cell phone to silent mode, and kept it in his pocket. He didn't even notice that it ran out of battery.
It was not until the elder passed away and he arranged the subsequent funeral arrangements that he had time to take out his mobile phone to charge it. When he turned it on, he saw a lot of missed calls and unread messages as expected.
