Jiang Li did not return to the Lu family's old house.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to face the concerned faces of her family.
Hope has already been found, but what if we face despair again...?
Even Jiang Li herself couldn't accept it, let alone others?
And so, Jiang Li went to the new home that Lu Shiyan had prepared for her.
Everyone is moving very quickly; renovations have already begun at the Secret Manor.
However, because of the rain, the workers left first.
The gatekeeper recognized Jiang Li and knew she was the mistress of the manor. Upon seeing her, he immediately opened the gate for her.
Seeing that Jiang Li was soaked, the gatekeeper quickly said, "Madam, I have an umbrella and a clean towel here. Please wipe yourself down first."
Jiang Li waved her hand, "No need. I'll get wet in the rain after I go in. It would be pointless to dry myself off now and then get wet again. I'll just go in and won't get you wet."
After saying that...
Jiang Li went straight in without looking back.
Security guard: ???
What's wrong, Madam?
I came here despite the heavy rain.
Could it be that she had a fight with Mr. Lu?
It shouldn't be that bad...
If they had argued, she definitely wouldn't have chosen to come to the manor that Mr. Lu had specially prepared for her.
She must have something to do, which is why she was in such a hurry.
But what does the master's business have to do with him?
He just needs to do his own thing.
Jiang Li entered the manor and walked step by step through the vast estate. In such an environment, being drenched by the rain, she felt an indescribable sense of poignant beauty.
Jiang Li walked towards her favorite little building. When she got there, she didn't go in. Instead, she sat at the door and quietly watched everything in front of her.
Her eyes were unfocused; she seemed to be thinking about something, yet also seemed to be thinking about nothing at all.
When Lu Shiyan got home from get off work, the first thing he did was go to find Jiang Li.
"Mom, is Jiang Jiang back?" Lu Shiyan asked his mother when he didn't see Jiang Li.
The old lady of the Lu family rolled her eyes at Lu Shiyan. "Didn't Jiang Jiang go out with you? What? You came back by yourself and lost your wife?"
“I went back to work, and Jiang Jiang got bored and left first,” Lu Shiyan explained immediately. “Later it rained, and I assumed Jiang Jiang had gone home. Didn’t she come back?”
"Maybe it's because of the rain that she found a place to take shelter from the rain." The old lady of the Lu family didn't think anything would happen if Jiang Li didn't come back. After all, with Jiang Li's abilities, there really weren't many people who could hurt her.
Besides, Jiang Li is a person, not a fool.
With such heavy rain, she certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to stand in the rain without seeking shelter.
“That makes some sense.” Lu Shiyan agreed with his mother’s words and took out his phone to send a message to Jiang Li.
After waiting for two minutes without receiving a reply, Lu Shiyan made another phone call.
The call went through, but no one answered.
They kept talking until the call ended.
After making two consecutive unanswered calls, Lu Shiyan suddenly started to panic.
"Mom, don't worry." Lu Shiyan met his mother's concerned gaze and tried to control his tone, but he didn't realize that his expression was a little flustered. "Jiang Jiang might be asleep, so she didn't answer my call. I'll go to the house near the school to check. She might be there."
"Okay, sure." The old lady of the Lu family nodded in agreement, but after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but add, "Finding a wife is fine, but you also need to be careful. Otherwise, you might not find a wife and end up getting yourself into trouble. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"Okay, I'll take good care of myself." After saying that, Lu Shiyan took his coat and went out.
The first thing we did was go to the house near the school.
Lu Shiyan was so anxious that he forgot to call Lu Jiming over and ask him to come and take a look.
After all, Lu Jiming spends most of his time there. School has already let out at this time. Going upstairs to see if Jiang Li is there is much simpler and more convenient than him running over there.
As they approached their destination, Lu Shiyan suddenly remembered that there was another way.
However, it was no longer necessary to look for Lu Jiming at this point.
He drove into the garage and sped home.
result……
The house was exactly the same as before, with no sign that Jiang Li had returned.
Lu Shiyan's heart sank instantly.
If she didn't come back, where could Jiang Jiang have gone?
Thinking this, Lu Shiyan dialed Jiang Li's number again, but no one answered.
After making five calls, Jiang Li turned off her phone.
Lu Shiyan was extremely flustered, so he called Fu Ying again.
Fu Ying and Jiang Li have such a good relationship, she might know something.
Fu Ying was surprised that Lu Shiyan called her, but after thinking about it, she could basically guess what it was about.
There are only two possibilities.
First, Jiang Li called her using Lu Shiyan's phone; second, Lu Shiyan contacted her because of Jiang Li.
So Fu Ying didn't hesitate and quickly answered the phone.
"Hello……"
"Fuying, did you see Jiang Jiang today?" Lu Shiyan asked immediately.
“I saw her…” Fu Ying nodded, but realizing that Lu Shiyan couldn’t see her, she continued to ask, “What’s wrong? Didn’t she go back?”
“It’s raining so hard, and Jiang Jiang still hasn’t come home…” Lu Shiyan immediately explained, “She didn’t go back to the old house, nor did she come back upstairs. I called her several times but no one answered. Now her phone is off, so I wanted to ask you if you’ve seen her.”
"You should ask Gong Yu about that." Fu Ying actually gave Lu Shiyan some useful information. "We met today, but she was going to meet Gong Yu later, so I left first and didn't go back. Maybe they were having a serious talk and didn't answer the phone because they were afraid of being disturbed, so they put their phones on silent?"
"Thank you." Lu Shiyan received the message and hung up the phone.
Fu Ying: "..."
She hadn't finished speaking yet.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyan immediately called Gong Yu.
Gong Yu was also surprised to see Lu Shiyan's call.
After all, although they are familiar with each other, they don't talk on the phone often.
However, he didn't deliberately leave Lu Shiyan hanging, so he answered the phone.
"What brings you to call me?" Gong Yu's voice was a little irritating. "Are you trying to tell me your wedding date in person?"
"Third Senior Brother..." Lu Shiyan was in no mood to talk to Gong Yupin and immediately explained the purpose of the call, "I heard from Fu Ying that you met with Jiang Jiang today. I just wanted to ask you, is Jiang Jiang still with you now?"
“She left a long time ago…” Gong Yu replied, then his eyes changed, “What do you mean by that? Jiang Li didn’t go home? You can’t find her?”
If that's the case, then what happened this afternoon might be more serious than he thought.
"Yes, I called but no one answered, and then the phone was turned off..." Lu Shiyan answered honestly.
He originally wanted to have someone search for Jiang Li's cell phone signal, but since her phone was turned off, this plan was completely unworkable.
"Don't rush..." Gong Yu was also a bit of a headache. "Let me cast a divination for her first to determine her location, and then you can go look for her based on that location..."
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother..."
"There's no need to thank me. Jiang Li is also my junior sister. Helping you find her is what I should do."
Gong Yu sounded a little guilty about what he said.
He was 100% certain...
Jiang Li's reaction must be due to the news he brought that afternoon.
