Chapter 641 The dog at home is lost and we need to go look for it
In such a serious occasion, Lu Tingchuan seemed a little impolite when his cell phone rang at this time.
There were people on and off the stage, so it was unrealistic for Lu Tingchuan to answer the phone, but if he ignored it, the phone would keep ringing.
The Li family didn't think much of it. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and it was just a phone call. They didn't know anyone would call at this time.
Old Master Li was dissatisfied and angry, and asked Lu Tingchuan to deal with it quickly and not waste time.
Mr. Li is somewhat superstitious even now. The day of engagement is an auspicious day, and he has calculated the time and schedule for everything.
Lu Tingchuan hummed, took out his phone and was about to hang up and press the silent button, but he paused when he saw the contact.
The person who called was the caregiver who was taking care of Shen Qing abroad.
The nurse had never called him before, so this call must be because he had encountered some difficulties. Could it be that... something happened to Shen Qing?
He should have hung up the phone. If he answered it now, he would probably upset both parties.
But when he thought about what might have happened to Shen Qing, he couldn't feel at peace. His right eyelid even twitched at this moment. Lu Tingchuan forgot about his current situation for a moment and pressed the answer button in full view of everyone without thinking.
"Lu Tingchuan!" Old Master Li's eyes were filled with anger, but he couldn't stop him at this time.
As one of the protagonists today, Li Yun stood there stupidly, looking at Lu Tingchuan with a worried look on his face. She intuitively felt that the call was about Shen Qing.
Her intuition was right. Lu Tingchuan lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter? Tell me now!"
Hearing his tone was not good, the nurse spoke with a trembling voice, and said word by word: "Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu, Miss Chen is missing..."
"What did you say?" Lu Tingchuan breathed rapidly, gripping his phone tightly. "I'm asking you a question. What does it mean that she's missing?"
An uneasy feeling of fear seemed to tear his heart apart and burst out of his chest.
The nurse was still hesitating, repeating the four words "I don't know"
"I just went out for a while, and when I returned to the ward, I didn't see Miss Shen. I looked all over the hospital and asked the doctor. At first I thought Miss Shen was bored and went out for a walk...but..."
Lu Tingchuan's face turned ashen, and his other hand clenched into a fist. Because he was squeezing too hard, the joints turned white and made a creaking sound.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was in a bad mood. Old Master Li frowned and looked at Lu Tingchuan's bloodshot eyes, feeling shocked.
Lu Tingchuan was really crazy.
As soon as the phone hung up, Lu Tingchuan was about to leave.
Old Master Li slammed the table and stood up: "Lu Tingchuan, where are you going on this occasion today?"
Lu Tingchuan's depressed mood was fully reflected in the fact that he already had an oppressive aura. Now his brows were gloomy, and many people at the scene did not dare to speak.
Lu Tingchuan smiled coldly: "The dog ran away, I'll go back and look for it."
Lu Tingchuan didn't raise a dog, he only raised a person. The Li family couldn't figure it out, but Grandpa Li and Li Yun knew it.
Old Master Li was furious. He had reminded Lu Tingchuan earlier not to take such a thing that was not worthy of being shown on the table too seriously and to just throw it away. But judging from Lu Tingchuan's expression, he didn't listen to his words at all and became as stupid as Li Jingshen.
In such an important occasion, with the Li family watching, he actually just left without saying anything, and even used the excuse of losing his dog as an excuse. Old Master Li was so angry that he raised the cane in his hand and hit Lu Tingchuan hard on the back.
"Stop right there! Today's matter isn't over yet, you're not allowed to leave!" Old Master Li said sternly, "You can't even manage a dog, I think you might as well kill it."
This was a clear threat. Lu Tingchuan said gloomily, "I will discipline my own 'dog'. There's no need for you to interfere."
This was the first time that a fight broke out over a dog at an engagement party. This “dog” was such a big deal.
Mr. Li was so angry that he hit Lu Tingchuan a few more times with the club.
The Li family didn't stop him, nor did they want to stop him. Lu Tingchuan wanted to leave for a dog. Doesn't this clearly mean that their woman is not as good as a dog?
After Lu Tingchuan stood there and endured five blows from Old Man Li, he raised his foot and was about to leave.
Li Yun had never been so embarrassed before. She followed Lu Tingchuan with her skirt lifted up. She was wearing high heels and her body was unstable. She could not run faster than Lu Tingchuan. She staggered and yelled at Lu Tingchuan's back with all her strength.
"Lu Tingchuan, if you leave, what about me? Do you really want to leave me alone at this time and in this situation? Do you still want to marry our two families? Think carefully, who is more important, Shen Qing or the Li family? Do you really want to give up what you have been planning for so many years to someone else now? Think carefully!"
The last four words were roared out by Li Yun. She looked at Lu Tingchuan's back and bit her lips hard to calm herself down, but her body couldn't stop shaking.
These words had a profound impact on Lu Tingchuan. Suddenly, all sorts of images flashed through his mind: his mother dying in the cold bathtub, him rummaging through trash cans to eat, being beaten and locked up at home by the nanny, being insulted and looked down upon by those around him even though he had done nothing wrong...
If it were any other time, Lu Tingchuan might not leave, but not now. When he thought about being in a foreign country and Shen Qing, who was still a patient, and she was so stupid and cowardly, and couldn't understand what they said, where could she go? She was in an unfamiliar place, full of dangers, and something in his heart seemed to be shattered.
"I'm sorry, I have to leave. I'll come and apologize when I get back."
When Lu Tingchuan said this, his face was gloomy. Although he looked very serious in apologizing, his face was not fierce, but it made people tremble.
What else could Li Yun say? What else could she say? She had thought that Lu Tingchuan was a selfish man who only cared about profit. Feelings meant nothing to him. Seeing how much he cared about Shen Qing, wouldn't he still marry her?
But he never expected that just a phone call from Shen Qing would make Lu Tingchuan so upset. Since when did Shen Qing occupy such an important position in his heart? He was even willing to give up the things he had planned for his whole life for her.
Lu Tingchuan took out his cell phone and started arranging people to book a flight. He looked down at his watch and realized that time was running out and he would miss it if he didn't leave now.
The journey to a foreign country takes more than ten to twenty hours, and no one knows what will happen during such a long time.
Lu Tingchuan's hurried back gradually disappeared from her sight. Li Yun's face turned pale and her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe. Lu Tingchuan didn't love her, so he left without even looking at her.
This was the first time that Li Yun experienced jealousy. She never imagined that one day she would be jealous of a servant who was nothing.
