Chapter 507 is missing.
However, no one knows what will happen in the future, and Qiao Xing is too lazy to think about it.
He Fen chattered on and on in the car, and Qiao Xing would occasionally give her a perfunctory reply. Fortunately, the market wasn't far away, and they arrived in no time.
The market was crowded, so Xing Jiu walked in front to block the people, afraid that Qiao Xing would be bumped into.
He Fen also used her strengths to bargain with the boss, always getting him to round down the price. I should have just let her come by herself; why did she have to come along?
"That's enough, that's enough. If we buy any more, we won't be able to finish them all."
Qiao Xing glanced at the vegetables in Xing Jiu's hand. They were almost ready. She didn't know what to buy, so she just bought the dishes that Qin Ce had made before.
After buying the groceries, Xing Jiu drove the two back. The route they came by was different from the route they took back; the return trip involved a longer detour.
Traffic was terrible at this time, with cars moving in and out. Qiao Xing started to feel carsick again from the smell of exhaust fumes, her stomach churning and she felt like vomiting.
He Fen was still chattering away beside her, marveling at how many people there were and how luxurious the place was, and even teaching Qiao Xing how to win Qin Ce's heart.
Qiao Xing felt a headache coming on.
After being stuck in traffic for half an hour and having only traveled less than 500 meters, Qiao Xing was already considering getting out of the car and walking back.
"Xing Jiu, how much longer?"
Xing Jiu glanced at the navigation distance and replied, "There's still over a thousand meters left, but given the traffic, it'll take at least another half hour to get back."
Qiao Xing was completely flustered. "Drive a little further ahead, I'll get out and walk back."
"ah?"
Qiao Xing said, "I'm so dizzy I can't stand it anymore."
He Fen chimed in, "I can't stand it either. Let's go back together later."
Qiao Xing nodded and stopped talking; she felt nauseous as soon as she opened her mouth.
Xing Jiu didn't say anything more. Following Qiao Xing's instructions, she drove a short distance ahead, found a place to park, and parked the car on the side of the road so that Qiao Xing could get out.
Qiao Xing got out of the car, took a breath of fresh air, and finally felt alive again.
However, her stomach was still churning violently, so she quickly ran to the trash can and dry heaved. After vomiting for a while, she finally couldn't hold it in and threw up.
"Oh dear, you're really carsick. I don't think it's ever been this bad before," He Fen said from the side.
He Fen didn't know how severe He Fen's motion sickness was before; she was just mentioning it casually.
Qiao Xing vomited for a long time, and tears came out of her eyes.
After a moment, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'm fine now."
"Are you really alright? Do you want to find a place to sit for a while?"
Qiao Xing waved her hand, "No, I have to go back and cook."
"Look at you, what's the point of cooking? Don't bother cooking, I'll cook for you guys later."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look at He Fen. She saw genuine concern on He Fen's face, and Qiao Xing was even slightly moved, which was rare for her.
This aunt actually cares about me one day.
"Alright, let's go sit over there for a while." He Fen pointed to the sidewalk and pulled Qiao Xing over to sit down.
Qiao Xing felt nauseous at the moment, so she went over and sat down on the bench to rest for a while.
He Fen looked left and right, but there didn't seem to be any place selling water, so he gave up the idea.
Qiao Xing was sitting there bored when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him on the sidewalk, and walking very fast.
The woman walked along, looking around. When Qiao Xing saw her, she stood up as well.
A moment later, Gao Jin also saw Qiao Xing and froze for a moment.
"Gao Jin, what are you doing here?" Qiao Xing greeted her, as she remembered that Gao Jin didn't seem to live here.
Gao Jin looked anxious, her eyes still red. When she saw Qiao Xing, it was like seeing a lifeline. She grabbed Qiao Xing's hand and said, "Qiao Xing, Chenchen is missing."
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "What's going on?"
As Gao Jin spoke, tears began to fall. She choked back sobs as she said, "I was supposed to stay home with her today, but a client called and said they wanted to see a house, so I took her with me. Who knew she would disappear in the blink of an eye? What am I going to do!"
If her daughter goes missing and can't be found, not only will she be unable to explain herself to her in-laws and husband, but she can almost imagine what she will face when she gets back.
Qiao Xing also became anxious upon hearing this, "Don't panic, when did you go missing?"
"I searched all the places around here an hour ago, but I just can't find her. What should I do? Where did she go? Could she have been kidnapped...?"
The thought of this possibility made Gao Jin feel like the sky had fallen.
Qiao Xing quickly pulled out her phone from her pocket. "Don't panic, let me ask you, did you call the police?"
Gao Jin shook her head. "Not yet. I was afraid of wasting time, so I went out to look for it myself first. Besides, isn't it said that a case isn't filed if someone goes missing for less than 24 hours?"
Qiao Xing didn't really understand these things, but since they had already gotten lost, the police couldn't just ignore it, right?
She scrolled through her contacts and first called Qin Ce.
Qin Ce and Wang Ye had just come out of the study. As expected, Wang Ye's proposal was rejected and he had to go back and rewrite it.
Just as Qin Ce stepped out of the study and before he even went downstairs, he received a call from Qiao Xing.
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Xing said, "Qin Ce, my friend's child is missing. She's been searching for two hours but hasn't found him. What should we do?"
Qin Ce frowned, thought for a moment, and wondered which of her friends had children besides Linlin?
He thought of Gao Jin, whom Yang Han had mentioned before.
“Call Yang Han and ask him to take you to the police station to check the surveillance footage. Your friend is his employee.”
When Qiao Xing heard the first sentence, she was about to say that it wouldn't be good to trouble Yang Han, but after hearing the second sentence, she immediately hung up the phone and called Yang Han back.
The call was quickly connected, and Yang Han's voice came through the phone, "What's wrong, sister-in-law? Why are you calling me so late? Are you going to invite me to dinner?"
Qiao Xing wasn't in the mood for jokes, so she simply explained the situation to him. Yang Han realized the seriousness of the matter, stopped joking, and immediately asked her for her location and rushed over.
Meanwhile, Qin Ce glanced at her watch. It was already seven o'clock. Was she going out to look for someone's child?
After thinking about it, he also went out and drove to find Qiao Xing.
When Qin Ce arrived, Yang Han hadn't come yet. He walked over to Qiao Xing, looked around, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qiao Xing told him that she got carsick on her way back from grocery shopping and got off there, and then coincidentally ran into Gao Jin.
Qin Ce turned to look at Gao Jin, who was also surprised when she saw him.
When she first heard Yang Han call Qiao Xing "sister-in-law," she assumed Qiao Xing's husband was a very old man, or at least not very good-looking.
It wasn't that she was making malicious speculations, but rather that the ordinary girls she encountered who were able to marry rich men almost all had a large age gap with them, without exception, which formed a fixed impression in her mind.
So when she learned that Qiao Xing had married a rich man, her mind automatically conjured up an image of Qiao Xing's husband.
