Chapter 670 Xiang Xiang is gone
Qin Mucheng took the soup, tasted it carefully, and after finding it not hot, he passed it to Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Ziang stood at the side of the door frame and saw the interaction between the two people. If it were any other time, he would have made some sarcastic remarks.
But now, he had no emotion, he just shifted his gaze calmly.
"Mom, will you come back to City B with me? Li Xiang and Li Nian are both grown up now. If you come back with me, you can help me take care of Mu Mu." Li Miao supported Liu Guihua and walked slowly into the house.
Li Zhiming is no longer with us, but a huge portrait of him hangs in the middle of the living room.
Liu Guihua raised her head, looked at the portrait on the wall, and shook her head: "No, I have to stay at home and accompany your father. If I'm not here, he will be so lonely."
These words made Li Miao, who had finally calmed down, want to cry again.
She didn't say anything else, fearing that if she spoke, she would lose control.
Gong Wenbo persuaded again: "Mom, let's take Dad with us. Now that the eldest and second brothers no longer live in the countryside, we are worried about you living here alone. Besides, with you helping us take care of Mumu, we can work with more peace of mind."
Everyone knows that what Li Miao and Gong Wenbai said about letting Liu Guihua take care of Mumu was just to let her relax.
Liu Guihua still shook her head: "Even if I leave, I have to follow your elder brother. How can I take care of him alone..."
Liu Guihua was stunned halfway through her words.
She looked around and asked in panic, "What about Xiang Xiang? Has anyone seen Xiang Xiang?"
After she said this, everyone came back to their senses.
Everyone searched the yard, the cemetery, and even the entire village, but still couldn't find the person they wanted.
Liu Guihua was so anxious that she almost fainted. Li Xu and Li Miao supported her and anxiously ordered, "Quick, call the police."
Ji Yuanyuan thought of Li Xiang's stubborn face that day, and suddenly said, "Maybe, I know where Xiang Xiang went."
Liu Guihua looked at Ji Yuanyuan and asked quickly, "Where? Where did she go?"
Ji Yuanyuan whispered, "She should have gone to look for...her mother. She was about to go that day, but I stopped her."
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated when she mentioned Meng Xiaoning.
Now that she and her uncle have divorced, it seems inappropriate to call her aunt anymore.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Ji Yuanyuan changed the name of aunt to the current one.
"Are you sure?" Li Xu asked subconsciously.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "I'm sure!"
That day, Li Xiang originally wanted to go, but she asked him to send his grandfather off first, so Li Xiang stayed.
Now that grandpa has been laid to rest, Li Xiang probably has nothing to worry about anymore.
Upon hearing this, Liu Guihua immediately said, "Quick, all of you go and bring Xiang Xiang back to me."
The old man is no longer with us. If anything happens to her granddaughter, how will she live?
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Lei and said, "Uncle, please call Xiangxiang's mother and tell her to keep her if she sees her."
The panicked Li Lei finally came to his senses. He quickly took out his phone and called Meng Xiaoning.
Although the two are divorced, they still have two children.
So it’s not like we’ll never see each other again.
Meng Xiaoning picked up the phone shortly after Li Lei called.
"What about Xiang Xiang? Have you seen Xiang Xiang?" Li Lei asked as he came up.
He was probably so anxious that he lost his mind, thinking that it would only be ten minutes since they last saw each other.
How could she run to the city in ten minutes?
"Where are you now? If she wants to come find you, you must stop her and don't let her run around." Li Lei paused and said anxiously.
After hanging up the phone, he looked around and finally fixed his attention on Li Xu: "She said she didn't see Xiangxiang."
No matter how old he is, Li Lei subconsciously still wants to rely on his elder sister no matter what happens.
After all, since childhood, the eldest sister has been the backbone of them.
Li Xu thought for a moment and ordered, "Your brother-in-law and I will stay here to accompany mother. As for the rest of you, go out and look for them. Pay attention to the bus station, bus stop signs, and taxis. Such a young child must be found as soon as possible."
How many cases of missing girls have appeared in the news, and how tragic were the outcomes?
Imagine a little girl wandering around outside by herself. She might attract the attention of a bad guy at any time.
So they have to find Xiang Xiang as soon as possible.
Except for Liu Guihua, Li Xu, Zhang Kun and Li Nian who stayed at home, the rest drove out to look for him.
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng went to visit Meng Xiaoning's parents' home.
Ji Ziang and Li Lei went to the county station as a group.
Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei formed a team and went to the place where taxis were concentrated to look for them and ask around.
Li Miao and Gong Wenbo worked together to contact the buses along the road. In front of this kind of village, there would be buses going into the city, as well as passing buses from other places. They had to contact these drivers to confirm whether Li Xiang had boarded the bus.
Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin teamed up to go to the city to check on Meng Xiaoning. If Li Xiang's destination was where Meng Xiaoning lived, they could just sit back and wait.
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng's job was the easiest. Meng Xiaoning's parents' home was not far from here, so they drove there quickly.
The person who came to open the door was Meng Qingxin. In the early years, Meng Qingxin worked with Li Xu and Li Yong and drove to deliver food to the store.
But later, Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning separated, and Meng Qingxin didn't have the face to continue working there, so he naturally retired.
Now that his daughter has divorced Li Lei, Meng Qingxin feels even more sorry for the Li family.
So when he saw Ji Yuanyuan, Meng Qingxin looked very embarrassed: "Isn't this Yuanyuan? How come you have time to come here today?"
Although Ji Yuanyuan became more beautiful as she grew older, the contours of her face remained largely unchanged.
So Meng Qingxin recognized Ji Yuanyuan the first time he saw her.
Ji Yuanyuan didn't have the heart to greet Meng Qingxin at this moment, and just asked directly: "Grandpa Meng, have you seen Xiang Xiang?"
Meng Qingxin shook his head and suddenly became nervous: "Think about it, what's wrong?"
"My grandfather was buried today, and we didn't have time to see her. When we found her, she was gone." Ji Yuanyuan said truthfully.
"Gone?" Meng Qingxin said, stumbling and holding onto the door frame, steadying himself. "Why is she gone? Where did she go?"
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head: "We don't know where she went, and everyone is looking for her now. Since she hasn't been here, we will leave and visit you another day when we have time."
Meng Qingxin said quickly: "Wait a minute, I'll get a key and go look for it with you guys."
…
In the county town, Ji Ziang and Li Lei stood in the middle of the traffic at the station, constantly looking at the passing vehicles.
