Chapter 202 Running Away from Home
Once the Lantern Festival is over, the Chinese New Year is considered over.
The decoration of the restaurant went smoothly. Jiang Yueyao hired someone to make new tables and chairs. The waiters in the restaurant were previously sloppy at work, so Jiang Yueyao hired a new group of people. Lu Sui also found a chef for her. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for a good day to open the restaurant.
But at this moment, something happened.
Shen Baoqing ran away from home.
When Jiang Yueyao received the news, she was in the backyard of the restaurant, instructing the waiter to place several pots of green plants in the corresponding positions. Suddenly, she saw Jinzi running in hurriedly from outside.
"Girl, it's bad, the eldest girl is gone.
Her cry of "The eldest lady is gone" almost scared Jiang Yueyao to death.
"What nonsense are you talking about? She was fine when I came out this morning..." Jiang Yueyao was halfway through her words when tears started streaming down her face. Her legs went weak and she held onto Amber's hand, her whole body trembling.
"She really left." Jin Zi argued anxiously, "She left a letter and ran away from home."
“…”
Jiang Yueyao finally understood what was said. She rushed over angrily and punched her.
"Can't you just say it nicely? What do you mean by 'the eldest girl is gone'? I thought... you scared me to death." She patted her chest, and her pale face softened a little.
Jin Zi looked aggrieved: "I left anyway..."
Jiang Yueyao rolled her eyes at her and hurried out, asking, "What's the point of leaving a letter? Why did you run away from home? Did Dad send anyone after you?"
She asked several questions in a row.
Jin Zi, who was strong in body but simple in mind, couldn't answer a single question.
It wasn't until she walked out of the restaurant that she remembered.
"My master is very angry. As for what is written in the letter, I don't know."
Jiang Yueyao knew that she couldn't get anything out of him, so she got in the carriage and returned home.
When she returned home, the house was in chaos.
Bai Jinyu was leaning on Shen Huaishan's arms, crying with red and swollen eyes. Shen Huaishan was coaxing her while his face was ashen and full of suppressed anger.
As soon as she entered, Jiang Yueyao couldn't wait to speak.
"Where did Qingqing go?
Without waiting for Shen Huaishan to speak, Bai Jinyu let him go, turned around and hugged Jiang Yueyao.
"Yaoyao, what should we do now? Qingqing has run away from home."
"Don't worry, Aunt Yu, Qingqing will be fine."
Shen Huaishan sat aside in silence.
Not until Jiang Yueyao coaxed Bai Jinyu to sleep did the two of them come out of the house and go into the warm room nearby.
Shen Huaishan’s face turned ashen.
"After all, your sister has been spoiled by me and her mother. She doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, doesn't know what's good for her, and acts so impulsively without considering the consequences..."
Jiang Yueyao asked hurriedly: "Where did my sister go?"
Shen Huaishan looked at her, as if he couldn't speak.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "She followed Xuan Ji from Xiangguo Temple."
Jiang Yueyao's eyes were filled with shock.
"Master Xuan Ji?"
"Well, Xuan Ji was going out to travel, and right after he left, she dropped a letter and chased him."
Shen Huaishan was angry and anxious: "She is really going to piss me off to death. Why does she like a monk when she can like any other man?"
"What a sin! What a sin!"
Jiang Yueyao was worried that he might get hurt from being angry, so she hurried forward and comforted him while stroking his chest.
"Don't worry, Daddy. The most important thing right now is to send someone to get her back."
"I've sent your brother after her." Shen Huaishan sighed heavily, "She left last night. It's been so long now, I wonder if we can catch up with her?"
When she heard that Shen Baoqing had left last night, she suddenly remembered something.
"No wonder my sister suddenly came to me yesterday evening and said some incomprehensible things, asking me to spend more time with my mother and say a few good words for her."
"And told you not to be angry..."
"I asked her if she had done anything wrong."
"Now that I think about it, she must have planned to leave home a long time ago."
Shen Huaishan said nothing.
In the evening, Shen Linchuan came back, he was a little discouraged.
"My son chased her all the way to Long County, but he didn't see any trace of his sister."
Shen Huaishan took a deep breath, his face extremely gloomy.
"Send a small team and chase them in the direction they left Beijing until they are brought back."
"yes."

I don’t know if it was Shen Baoqing’s sudden departure from home that stimulated Bai Jinyu, or if it was because the medicine she had been taking for so long finally took effect.
On this day, Jiang Yueyao was having lunch with Bai Jinyu.
When she ate the shrimp and egg custard, she suddenly said, "This dish is my Baoqi's favorite..."
Jiang Yueyao, who was eating, paused and looked up at her.
Bai Jinyu was still talking to herself as she looked at the egg custard.
"This child is very picky about food. Mammy, please pick out these shrimps for Baoqing to eat. Baoqing likes shrimps, and Baoqi likes steamed eggs..."
She talked for a long time, but saw that Nanny Wen beside her did not move.
He quickly looked up, only to meet Nanny Wen's eyes, which were red with excitement.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Nanny Wen wiped her eyes quickly.
"I'm fine. I just accidentally caught some dust in my eyes." Nanny Wen glanced at Jiang Yueyao, then bent over, picked up the chopsticks beside her, and while picking at the shrimp, she tentatively asked, "Madam, do you remember everything?"
Bai Jinyu suddenly stopped talking again.
She saw Nanny Wen picking shrimps, her eyes struggling between confusion and clarity for a long time, and suddenly she closed her eyes and fainted.
Jiang Yueyao had been looking at her and saw that she closed her eyes and her body swayed.
He quickly dropped the chopsticks in his hand, rushed over and caught the person.
"Madam Wen, please call the little doctor."
The soul came soon.
He looked at Bai Jinyu lying on the bed, and while taking her pulse, he asked Jiang Yueyao, "Miss, could you tell me what just happened?"
Jiang Yueyao then recounted the scene in detail.
Yuansheng listened and said nothing more.
He didn't speak until he finished taking Bai Jinyu's pulse and walked out of the inner room.
"It's very likely that in just a few days, she will think of you."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyao's pupils trembled slightly.
But she tried her best to suppress her excitement and calmed herself down: "What should I do?"
"Stay with her all the time." Yuansheng looked at her. "You can call her mother or mom unintentionally. This will help evoke all her memories of you."
"good.

When Bai Jinyu woke up, it was already evening.
There was a person sitting beside the bed. She was distracted for a long time before she realized that it was Yaoyao.
Maybe because he was tired of accompanying her, she was leaning against the headboard and taking a nap, her little head nodding, which was very cute, and Bai Jinyu felt soft in her heart.
She reached out and held her little head with her hand, hoping to help her sleep more comfortably.
But as soon as her hand touched her, she woke up.
Perhaps because he saw that she was awake, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes suddenly brightened.
"Mom, you're awake."
