It was already lunch time when Xia Shige returned home from the hospital.
Although there were only three of them eating lunch at home, Grandma and Grandma Liu still prepared a rich lunch.
The fragrant lotus root and pork ribs soup was steaming hot, and it also contained squid. The stir-fried pork with grandma's vegetables and chili fried rice were also very delicious.
Just when she finished her meal and returned to her room to take a rest, a message suddenly came from her cell phone.
Xia Shige casually clicked on the text message and found that it was sent from an unknown number and the content of the text message was a video.
Xia Shige slid his finger gently and clicked on the video. After the picture shook slightly, Wu Jianing's face suddenly appeared on the screen.
Xia Shige slightly opened his eyes in surprise——
The light in the video was dim, and the faint light from the wall lamp at the back could only barely illuminate the area where Wu Jianing was.
There were some wet marks on the collar of Wu Jianing's shirt, and her temples were also wet. At this moment, water drops were flowing down from the edge of her hairline and onto her forehead, but she seemed unaware of it.
Wu Jianing first stared at the camera with a dull look for two seconds, then she seemed to come to her senses and glanced up with a somewhat panicked look.
Then she spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "Cousin, cousin, sister! I'm Jia Ning... I'm... I'm running away from home now, can you come to Long Island Hotel?"
Wu Jianing seemed a little nervous and kept stuttering: "Sister, please don't contact my dad... I had a fight with my dad, and I don't want him to know where I am. I'm alone in the hotel now, and I'm a little scared... Sister, can you come over to see me? I want to talk to someone!"
The video ends here.
After watching the video, Xia Shige was completely confused - what on earth was going on! ?
Just when Xia Shige was still confused, another text message came.
The text message was sent by Wu Jianing. She said she was currently in Room 1108 of the Long Island Hotel, and included a location address.
Xia Shige frowned after reading the message. What the hell is this?
My family and my second uncle's family have never been in contact with each other. After the last matchmaking incident, the two families have even reached the point where they have never had any contact with each other again. Why did Wu Jianing inexplicably ask me to go to the hotel?
Xia Shige was puzzled and simply called the number that sent the text message.
The phone kept beeping for a long time, but Wu Jianing didn't answer it.
Xia Shige persisted in calling several times, but Wu Jianing didn't answer. Later, a prompt tone came from the phone saying "The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment."
Xia Shige frowned and looked at her phone - did Wu Jianing block her?
Xia Shige felt even more confused, if he had blocked me, why did he ask me to come over?
After hanging up the phone, Xia Shige watched the video sent by Wu Jianing again.
Wu Jianing in the video looked pale, her lips were bloodless, and her expression as she looked at the camera seemed a little guilty, with a hint of barely perceptible panic.
She glanced outside the camera from time to time, as if she was afraid of something.
Xia Shige looked at Chen and didn't think that he looked like someone who had "run away from home and needed comfort".
Besides, Wu Jianing was raised in the palm of Xia Guokang and Wu Min's hand. How could she have such a quarrel with her parents that she ran away from home?
Xia Shige still remembers that when the graves in his hometown were moved, Xia Guokang and Wu Min took Wu Jianing back to Anyuan Village and lived there for two days.
At that time, Wu Jianing was young and it was her first time in the countryside. She was not used to the food and clothing. She was not accustomed to the simple meals in the countryside and clamored to eat some cream biscuits.
The grocery stores in the countryside didn’t sell this kind of biscuits, so Wu Jianing started crying.
