"Early Summer!" Chu Peng roared, his face contorted with rage. "What nonsense are you spouting here?!"
"Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry, since you're here, I'll be leaving now." Rong Mo said, without looking at Chu Xia again, and turned to walk towards the stairs.
"Rong Mo!" Chu Xia suddenly shouted, "If you dare to leave, I'll kill myself right now!"
Chu Xia's emotions completely collapsed. She shouted recklessly, ignoring the fact that Lin Su's eyes had turned bloodshot.
"Xia!" Song Yun couldn't hold back any longer and took a step forward. Suddenly, she caught sight of two bodyguards climbing up from the room downstairs. While Chu Xia had her back to them, the two quickly grabbed Chu Xia's arms and pushed her back.
Chu Peng, who was closest, quickly hugged Chu Xia.
Chu Xia struggled frantically, her face filled with disbelief, her eyes fixed on the direction Rong Mo had left in.
Rong Mo was standing at the top of the stairs at that moment. After seeing that she was safe, he immediately turned around and went downstairs.
"Rong Mo!" Chu Xia shouted, "How could you do this to me?!"
Rong Mo paused for a moment, but did not stop.
The next second, Chu Peng slapped her hard across the face. "Chu Xia, wake up! Do you know what you're doing?"
Chu Xia was stunned by Chu Peng's slap. She covered her cheek, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Chu Peng's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. "Chu Xia, you've gone too far! How could you threaten someone with your own life? Do you know how heartbreaking that is? Do you know how desperate that is?"
Chu Xia's body began to tremble. She shook her head. "I don't know... I really don't know... I'm just so scared, I don't want to lose him..."
"But have you ever thought about how this will cause him more pain? How this will make it even harder for him to accept you?" Chu Peng's voice was stern and firm. "Chu Xia, you need to calm down. You're not a child anymore. Stop being so willful and reckless."
Chu Xia's tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls. She hugged Song Yun tightly and cried out, "Mom, I feel so bad... so bad... I don't know what to do..."
Song Yun couldn't bear to see her daughter crying like this, so she stepped forward and gently patted Chu Xia's shoulder. "Chu Xia, you need to calm down first. Let's go home. Your father was just extremely angry, that's why he hit you."
Chu Xia looked up at them, her eyes blurry with tears, "Mom, I was wrong... but I really don't know what to do..."
"Lin Su, let's go home first." Chu Peng turned around, wanting to call Lin Su to walk together, but found that the place where Lin Su had been standing was now empty.
No one knew when, but he had quietly left the rooftop.
downstairs.
Just as Rong Mo was about to leave, he saw Lin Su walking down alone with a cold face.
Lin Su strode towards him, and Wei Qiao immediately blocked his way when she saw his menacing approach.
“President Rong,” Lin Su said expressionlessly, “thank you for notifying me to come here. It has made me completely give up and realize that I am just a joke.”
"Lin Su, there are actually many good girls in this world. Step out of your comfort zone, and you might meet some wonderful people. Don't be too hard on yourself; you haven't done anything wrong," Rong Mo said.
“Well,” Lin Su glanced at the wary Wei Qiao and smiled wryly, “I mean no harm, I just wanted to say goodbye. I should go back to Country A.”
"Take care," Rong Mo said.
Watching Lin Su leave, Wei Qiao was somewhat surprised by his actions, "What about Miss Chu Xia...?"
“That’s not something we should be thinking about,” Rong Mo sighed. “I really didn’t expect Chu Xia and I to come to this. Let’s go, there are more important things to do at home.”
When Rong Mo returned home, he saw Shen Zhi Qiu packing her luggage.
"Zhiqiu, where are you going?" Rong Mo watched her keep throwing things into her suitcase, but she seemed like a wooden puppet, completely unaware that Rong Mo was watching her from the doorway.
"Brother, I'm going to a temple in the capital. I heard the masters there are incredibly skilled; they can tell where missing people are." Shen Zhi Qiu's voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red, clearly indicating that she had just been crying again.
“Okay, then I’ll have Wei Qiao make the arrangements, and I’ll go with you.” Rong Mo didn’t try to dissuade Shen Zhi Qiu from going; he knew she was suffering inside.
"No need, brother, I can go by myself. You've been busy with my things lately, and I know the company needs you too. I've seen you've already received many calls from companies. Go ahead, I can manage on my own."
Rong Mo looked at the scabs on Shen Zhi Qiu's neck and arms, which had just scabbed over, and felt a tightness in his chest. He stepped forward, pressed Shen Zhi Qiu's arm, and said softly, "I have already arranged everything at the company, so you don't need to worry."
"I'm really worried about you going alone." Rong Mo's heart was breaking, and his eyes couldn't help but redden.
“Brother, I heard that the master doesn’t like noise or too many people following him. I’ll go by myself. Sincerity is key. If we all go together and disturb the spirits, it won’t be good.” Shen Zhi Qiu mechanically withdrew his hand and buried himself in packing his luggage. “I’ve already told Xiao Ran that I need her to look after the children for me these next few days. Brother, you don’t need to worry too much about things at home. Dad will be here these next few days. He’s upstairs with Zhao Zhao and Niannian right now, so I can rest assured.”
Rong Mo opened his mouth, but then closed it again.
He knew that Shen Zhi Qiu had always been an atheist and had never believed in these things before, but this time, she was really desperate, so she entrusted herself to the gods and prayed that the master could help her find Lu Jia's location.
But how is that possible?
However, at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to say anything in denial, and could only let her do as she pleased.
“Then I’ll have Wei Qiao take some people with you, but only him. That way he can protect you.” Rong Mo sighed and coaxed softly, “I’ve also had the search and rescue team expand the search area. They will definitely find Lu Jia for you.”
“Okay, brother.” Shen Zhi Qiu’s eyes were red, and she choked up. “Brother, I’m the one who has wronged him all along. He’s always been there to protect me and love me, but I’ve never done anything for him. This time,” Shen Zhi Qiu turned her face away, “this time, I’m determined to do something for him. I can’t just stay at home and wait. Just thinking about how he sailed the ship out to sea for me, waiting alone for death, I…”
Just as Rong Mo was about to comfort her, Lu Wei also came downstairs with her luggage.
