Chapter 46 Young Master Fu, Miss Shen wants to see you.
Jiang Yuelan has disappeared.
Qiao Xingjia and Aunt Qin accompanied Shen Qingshu to search around Dolphin Bay, but they found no clues.
It was late at night, and another day was getting closer to New Year's Eve. The snow kept falling from the sky.
The entire city was shrouded in snow and wind.
Like a lost child, Shen Qingshu searched aimlessly for Jiang Yuelan's figure in the wind and snow.
Where will Mom go?
This city is so big, but the only place my mother can live is that little over 100 square meter house in Dolphin Bay.
But she wasn't there.
Why did Mom leave?
Shen Qingshu couldn't understand it, feeling lost and guilty.
It was her fault for not taking good care of her mother; it was her lack of consideration...
The wind and snow grew stronger, making her slender body sway precariously.
He fell several times, but stubbornly got back up.
No matter how Qiao Xingjia tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen. In this awful weather, searching for someone on foot was practically self-torture!
When their attempts to persuade her failed, Qiao Xingjia and Aunt Qin finally dragged Shen Qingshu back into the car...
At four o'clock in the morning, Qin Yancheng received a call from Qiao Xingjia.
Upon hearing that Jiang Yuelan had gone missing, Qin Yancheng sat up in bed, dressed quickly, grabbed his car keys, and headed out.
About twenty minutes later, the white Cayenne stopped outside the Shen family's gate.
The BMW parked on the side of the road had its lights on.
Qin Yancheng pushed open the door and got out of the car, walking towards the BMW.
The car door opened, and Qiao Xingjia and Shen Qingshu got out of the car.
"Dr. Qin, I'm so sorry to trouble you again." Shen Qingshu looked at Qin Yancheng, her voice hoarse.
Given the Qin family's status in Beicheng, the Shen family wouldn't dare to disrespect Qin Yancheng.
The situation was sudden and time was of the essence, so she had no choice but to ask Qin Yancheng for help.
Qin Yancheng's gaze fell on her face, and he immediately frowned. "Go wait in the car. Dr. Qiao and I can go in."
Shen Qingshu's face was even paler than the falling snowflakes, her nose and eyes were terribly red, and she looked terrible.
The gauze wrapped around her forehead was stained with blood. How could her body withstand running around in such terrible weather with this injury?
Qiao Xingjia advised her, "Dr. Qin is right, A-Shu, go into the car and wait."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent, but she didn't move either.
Qiao Xingjia sighed, "You can't collapse before Aunt Jiang finds you."
These words moved Shen Qingshu.
She nodded, turned around, and went back into the car.
The car door closed, and she watched through the car window as Qiao Xingjia and Qin Yancheng entered the Shen family home.
The waiting time was agonizingly long.
Outside the car, the cold wind howled, but inside the closed car, Shen Qingshu stared intently at the Shen family's gate.
She both wanted her mother to be here and worried that she would face retaliation from the Shen family if she stayed.
There was a noise coming from the doorway.
The old butler of the Shen family personally escorted Qin Yancheng and Qiao Xingjia to the front gate.
Shen Qingshu's eyelids twitched, but soon, the glimmer of hope that had just ignited in her eyes gradually dimmed.
Only Qin Yancheng and Qiao Xingjia came out.
The car door opened, and Qiao Xingjia and Qin Yancheng stood outside the car watching her.
Shen Qingshu looked up at them.
Qin Yancheng shook his head, "I've said both nice and harsh things, so the person shouldn't be here."
Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes, "Then where will she go?"
In this vast northern city, Shen Qingshu really couldn't imagine where her mother could have gone.
In the end, Qin Yancheng even accompanied someone to visit the Jiang family, the last place they were likely to go.
By the time I left the Jiang family home, it was already fully light.
The snowstorm stopped, but the sky remained overcast.
Jiang Yuelan is still missing.
Qin Yancheng went straight to the hospital; he had a major surgery scheduled for today.
Qiao Xingjia took leave and accompanied Shen Qingshu to the police station to report the case.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Qiao Xingjia helped the distraught Shen Qingshu out of the police station.
Aunt Qin stood beside her, occasionally raising her hand to wipe away her tears.
She deeply regrets it; she's still wondering if this wouldn't have happened if she hadn't gone grocery shopping yesterday…
After getting in the car, Qiao Xingjia unscrewed the thermos and handed it to Shen Qingshu, saying, "Drink some warm water. Your head injury hasn't healed yet, and you've been traveling all night. Your body won't be able to take it."
Shen Qingshu lowered her head and shook it very gently, as if talking to herself, "Where do you think my mother will go?"
Qiao Xingjia pursed her lips, completely at a loss for what to do.
Aunt Qin, sitting in the back seat, suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Why don't we go ask Attorney Fu?"
Fu Siyan?
Qiao Xingjia turned to look at Aunt Qin: "Why did you ask him?"
“We went to Attorney Fu’s law firm together yesterday morning.”
"What?" Qiao Xingjia was shocked. "Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
“You…didn’t ask.”
Shen Qingshu looked at Aunt Qin and asked, "What is my mother doing at the law firm?"
"We were just delivering New Year's gifts, but when we arrived, Miss Zhou was also going to see Attorney Fu. Later, your mother asked me to wait outside. I don't know what they talked about afterwards..."
Shen Qingshu clenched her hands. "Xingxing, go to the law firm and find Fu Siyan."
"Okay!" Qiao Xingjia immediately started the car.
…
Fu Siyan has been very busy these past few days, often staying up all night.
Zhou Yuchu's drama has finished filming, and with some free time these past few days, I've been going to the law firm every day.
Early in the morning, she brought a lovingly prepared breakfast to the law firm.
As soon as I got out of the car, I noticed a white BMW parked by the roadside.
Zhou Yuchu paused slightly, withdrew her gaze, and walked gracefully into the law firm in her high heels.
…
Zhou Yu knocked on the door of Fu Siyan's office.
Fu Siyan was looking at the documents, his eyes and brows not raised, and he simply said, "Come in."
Zhou Yu pushed open the door and walked in, going straight to the desk.
She glanced at the thick stack of documents on the table, frowned slightly, and asked in a gentle tone with a hint of reproach, "Did you stay up all night again last night?"
Fu Siyan responded indifferently.
Zhou Yu placed the breakfast in front of him. "Siyan, I know you value this case, but you also need to maintain a regular schedule and diet. Stop and have breakfast first!"
"Put these aside for now, I'll eat them after I've looked at them."
Zhou Yuchu simply took the documents from in front of him and pushed the breakfast in front of him, saying, "Eat first."
Fu Siyan frowned and looked up at Zhou Yuchu.
His cold, expressionless face revealed a hint of dominance and impatience in his dark eyes.
He dislikes being interrupted when he's working.
Zhou Yuchu smiled sweetly, put the documents behind her back, and slightly raised her chin. "If you don't eat, I'll call Siyu and complain. He's worried that you're a workaholic and don't eat properly, so he specially sent me to supervise you!"
Fu Siyan gave in the moment Fu Siyu was mentioned.
Fu Siyan pinched the space between his eyebrows with his fingertips and sighed softly, "I understand."
He picked up his breakfast and was about to open it when there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Yu turned around and said quite naturally, "Please come in."
Shao Qing pushed open the door and entered. "Young Master Fu, Miss Shen wants to see you."
Fu Siyan paused, put down the breakfast in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Let her in."
Shao Qing stepped aside to make way for Shen Qingshu and Qiao Xingjia outside the door, saying, "Please come in, both of you."
Shen Qingshu and Qiao Xingjia walked in.
Qiao Xingjia glanced at Zhou Yuchu and rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
Shen Qingshu ignored Zhou Yuchu and fixed her cold gaze on Fu Siyan's face.
"Fu Siyan, what did you say to my mother yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan glanced over, but when he saw Shen Qingshu's expression, he was clearly taken aback.
Her condition is much worse than yesterday.
It's the kind of awful thing that would make even a stranger frown and feel sorry for you just by looking at it.
Fu Siyan felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He stood up and walked to Shen Qingshu, his eyes lowered, his dark eyes reflecting her cold and pale face.
He, who was usually cold and domineering, softened his tone for some reason at this moment, "What happened?"
