Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why she had such a sudden sense of foreboding, or how the perfectly good talisman had turned to ashes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li obviously realized what was going on, and her face immediately turned ugly. "Old Qian told me to carry a talisman with me at all times to save my life. Now that the talisman has turned to ashes, does that mean she did something to me?"
"Quick! Call the young master and call him back!" She suddenly remembered something and shouted urgently, her voice filled with fear and unease.
After saying that, her expression recovered slightly, and she muttered to herself, "No, that's not right, I'll go deliver it, I'll go deliver it."
Mrs. Li hurriedly turned around and went back to her room, clutching the wrapped talismans tightly in her hand.
She had already used one, and now she took out two more. She carefully placed one on her person, and prepared to take the other to her son.
Seeing that she looked dazed, Qin Yune was very worried, fearing that something might happen to her. He quickly followed her to her side and reached out to support her to ensure her safety.
The driver sped towards the company.
In the car, Mrs. Li kept dialing her son's number, but no one answered. This made her face grow increasingly pale. She frowned and gripped her phone tightly, as if she wanted to crush it.
Left with no other option, she turned to calling her son's secretary.
However, no one responded, which made Mrs. Li even more anxious.
Mrs. Li urged anxiously, "Xiao Song, drive faster, drive faster!"
Her tone revealed endless anxiety and tension.
As time ticked by, Mrs. Li's emotions gradually spiraled out of control. She shouted angrily, "Shang Mingyue had better not have harmed my son, or I'll make her pay with her life!"
Qin Yune quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, maybe he's in a meeting and has his phone on silent, that's why he didn't hear the call. The more anxious you are, the more confused you'll become. Didn't we not see your son's birth date and time in the fragments? Maybe the other party hasn't had a chance to harm your son yet?"
Mrs. Li clearly took it to heart. She took deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. "You're right. I can't panic. If I panic, I'll just fall into that woman's trap!"
A dozen minutes later, the car stopped at the company's main entrance. Mrs. Li opened the car door and walked briskly towards the company.
Upon seeing Mrs. Li, the receptionist immediately stood up and respectfully greeted her, "Madam."
But Mrs. Li was only focused on getting upstairs to find her son as quickly as possible and had no time to think about anything else.
After casually glancing around, Qin Yune suddenly said, "Your son should be alright."
Mrs. Li was anxiously waiting for the elevator when she heard this. She turned around abruptly and asked urgently, "Why?"
Qin Yunie patiently explained, "You see, the front desk staff are all very calm. If something really happened to President Qian, they definitely wouldn't be so composed when they see you."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Li felt much relieved, but all her strength seemed to have been drained from her body. She leaned weakly against the elevator, muttering to herself, "It's good that you're alright..."
"Thank goodness you're here... Old Qian and I only have this one precious son. If something were to happen to him, how could I face Old Qian in the afterlife!"
Qin Yunie: "You don't need to blame yourself too much. Concern can cloud judgment, and this just proves that you are a good mother."
Mrs. Li shook her head with a bitter smile. "How can I be considered a good mother? When I was young, I only cared about my career and neglected to take care of Ruizhe. By the time I realized the problem, he had already grown up, and Lao Qian had also left us. Now, we are left with only an orphan and a widow to depend on each other."
With a ding, the elevator arrived.
Qin Yune carefully helped Aunt Li into the elevator.
The elevator doors slowly closed, then reopened after reaching the designated floor.
The conference room is located diagonally opposite the elevator exit.
Through the transparent glass wall, one can vaguely see an important meeting taking place inside.
In a spacious and bright conference room, a group of people dressed in suits sat together, looking focused.
Sitting at the head of the table was Mrs. Li's son, whose young face revealed a composure and confidence beyond his years.
He leaned back slightly in the comfortable chair, his eyes fixed on the large screen in front of him, his fingers casually twirling the pen in his hand.
Suddenly, his gaze inadvertently drifted to the outside of the conference room, settling on the two people standing there. His eyes sharpened instantly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Qian Ruizhe quickly gestured for the meeting to pause, then stood up and strode out of the meeting room.
His steps were steady and powerful, as if he carried an invisible aura.
As he reached the door, his voice was filled with doubt, "Mom? What brings you here?"
As he finished speaking, his gaze naturally fell on the unfamiliar woman beside his mother.
She stood there quietly, her appearance beautiful, the kind that could attract attention at first glance.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were exquisitely beautiful, especially her eyes, which were particularly striking.
She has a tall and slender figure, and even in simple casual clothes, she still stands out.
But the fact that she was standing with his mother at this moment, and that their behavior seemed somewhat intimate, was rather abnormal.
He had never heard his mother mention knowing such a woman, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
He frowned, scrutinizing the unfamiliar woman, trying to find some clues from her expression and demeanor.
However, she simply looked at him quietly, her face expressionless, making it difficult to fathom her thoughts.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are you?"
His voice carried a hint of inquiry and wariness.
Mrs. Li introduced with a smile: "This is Miss Qin Yunie. I am so grateful to have her here today. If it weren't for her, you might not be able to see me now. Miss Qin, this is my son, Qian Ruizhe, who is 25 years old this year."
She leaned close to Qin Yune's ear and whispered, "He's never been in a relationship. If you like him, you can date him."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yune subconsciously glanced at Qian Ruizhe, "Aunt Li..."
Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Qian Ruizhe exclaim helplessly, "Mom! Can you please stop spreading this around? Do you want everyone to know that your son has never been in a relationship and that you're proud of it?"
Mrs. Li got angry as soon as the topic came up. "You know it's not honorable? You're already in your late twenties and you still haven't brought me a boyfriend! I think Miss Qin is quite nice. With your personality, I'm afraid Miss Qin won't even look at you!"
