Chapter 391 Chapter 391 News
Tao Na hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Mr. Jiang, are you okay?"
"Ms. Tao, I have something urgent to take care of, so you have to eat dinner by yourself."
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left with a cold face without looking back, without even glancing at Tao Na.
Tao Na was stunned for a moment.
She never imagined that the chance to have dinner with Jiang Yu, which she had finally secured, would end so easily! They had already reached the restaurant door, but he actually said that he had something urgent to deal with. This was clearly an excuse!
This was his excuse; he didn't want to have dinner with her.
"Boss Jiang!"
Tao Na became anxious and quickly chased after him.
However, she was wearing eight-centimeter high heels today. After she took a few steps, she suddenly twisted her foot and a piercing pain instantly swept through every nerve ending in her body.
Jiang Yu seemed not to hear it, or maybe he heard it but didn't want to stop.
Tao Na squatted down as if she had collapsed, her face turned ugly and pale, as if it was a whitewashed wall.
She had no choice but to pick up her phone and call her half-brother Tao Jin to come and find her.
By the time Tao Jin arrived, twenty minutes had passed.
"Sister, what happened to you? How did you sprain your ankle? Didn't I tell you not to wear shoes with such high heels before? Maybe you didn't listen, and now you sprained your ankle!"
As soon as Tao Jin saw Tao Na sitting on the roadside waiting for him, he couldn't help but complain helplessly.
Tao Na glared at him angrily, with a hint of impatience in her expression, "Tao Jin, why are you talking so much nonsense! Help me up quickly and take me to the hospital."
Tao Jin chuckled angrily, "I talk too much nonsense! But if you had listened to me earlier, would you have sprained your ankle?"
Tao Na: "That's enough! Come and help me!"
Even if Tao Jin disliked her, he still couldn't bear to ignore her. After all, Tao Na had always been nice to him.
He squatted down in front of Tao Na, pointed behind himself and said, "Climb up, I'll carry you to the car."
Tao Na looked down at her feet and had no choice but to stand up tremblingly and lie on Tao Jin's back.
"By the way, didn't you make an appointment with someone to have dinner together tonight? Where is that person? Don't you need to tell them that you are going to the hospital to see your foot?" Tao Jin walked a few steps with Tao Na on his back and asked curiously.
Taona gritted her teeth and didn't want to say a word.
Tao Jin, like a know-it-all, asked, "Sister, isn't the person you're having dinner with Jiang Yu?"
Tao Na: "...Why do you care about that? Take care of yourself first."
Tao Jin chuckled twice and said with a forced smile, "Didn't I tell you before that Jiang Yu likes my second sister? The last time my second sister took me to Mohe, Jiang Yu followed us. He must have gone there secretly, so you'd better give up on that idea!"
"Besides, are you as pretty as my second sister? Most men are obsessed with looks, and a man like Jiang Yu is no exception. He can't possibly find someone uglier than him!"
Tao Na was so angry that she almost forgot about her ankle injury. She gritted her teeth and scolded him angrily: "Tao Jin! What's wrong with you? You are so ungrateful! She has only been your sister for a few days, and you are already speaking for her?"
Tao Jin choked hard, "I, I didn't speak for her! I was just telling the truth."
Tao Na sneered, "Facts? What facts! You think she's prettier than me? Tao Jin, what kind of vision do you have! You actually think she's prettier than me!"
Tao Jin put his hand on his forehead. He shouldn't have reasoned with her. He should have put the facts in front of her directly so that she would give up at the first moment.
"Sister, there are so many outstanding men in the world, why do you have your eyes on Jiang Yu? What's so good about him? Not only is he divorced, but he also has someone he loves. Even if you offered yourself to him, he probably wouldn't even glance at you twice."
"Tao Jin! I'm your sister! My dear!"
"I know! If you weren't my sister, I wouldn't bother with you! Anyway, you won't be wrong if you listen to me on this matter. Otherwise, don't come to me when you cry."
…
Shen Qinghuan was not curious about what Jiang Yu had said to Xu Dongyao. The only thing she cared about now was Li Meng's situation.
She knew very well that Li Mingzhu would not lie to her about such a thing for no reason. After all, such things were the easiest to be exposed. As long as she confronted Li Meng, she would know the truth.
Therefore, she became more and more worried about Li Meng.
The only thing she couldn't figure out was, if Li Meng was kidnapped, why didn't she call the police after escaping? She even concealed the incident and didn't tell anyone.
Li Meng cruelly hid the truth from even her best friend.
"Are you worried about Li Meng?"
Seeing that Shen Qinghuan remained silent, Xu Dongyao asked calmly, but did not mention what Jiang Yu had said to him.
Shen Qinghuan hummed softly and said, "I've just thought about it for a long time. Li Mingzhu has no reason to lie to me about Li Meng, so..." She was still reluctant to say the obvious consequence.
Xu Dongyao wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
He quickly picked up his phone and took a look. He didn't answer it immediately, but looked up at Shen Qinghuan in the driver's seat. "It's my friend at the police station calling. He may have news about Li Meng."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Then answer it quickly, don't waste time."
Xu Dongyao put the phone to his ear.
Shen Qinghuan only heard him say: "I understand. Then please let's get together next time..."
Soon, Xu Dongyao ended the call.
Shen Qinghuan pursed her lips, suppressing the curiosity and worry in her heart, and asked hesitantly: "Is it, is there any news? Li Meng..." Her voice trembled uncontrollably.
Xu Dongyao just said "hmm" softly, and Shen Qinghuan knew that Li Mingzhu did not lie to her.
Li Meng did not go home last night. She went back early yesterday morning before Shi Beichuan.
But she was kidnapped, and the kidnappers did not call her family to extort money.
This means that the kidnapper's purpose in kidnapping Li Meng was not to get money. Otherwise, how could Li Meng return home safely early in the morning?
Thinking of this, Shen Qinghuan turned her head to look at Xu Dongyao, hesitated and said, "So, do you think Li Meng knows this kidnapper?"
Xu Dongyao's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he replied solemnly, "It's very likely that they knew each other. There's even a possibility that Li Meng was released by the kidnappers on purpose."
The corners of Shen Qinghuan's mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.
She was silent.
She didn't know what to say when she saw Li Meng later. Li Meng was kidnapped, and not only did she not report it to the police, she even concealed it from her closest relatives. Would she be willing to bring up this matter? If she didn't want to, none of them could help her.
"Don't worry too much. You know Li Meng's personality best. If she doesn't want to talk about it, it's useless for you to say anything. It might even affect your relationship."
"Well, I'm not worried!"
Shen Qinghuan took a deep breath and tried hard to calm himself down.
But the closer they got to Li Meng's home, the more uncomfortable she felt about worry and powerlessness. She even wanted to turn back at the intersection ahead and never ask about what happened last night again.
