A crisp cell phone ring brought Rong Heng back to reality.
He stared at the young master's phone but did not move. He hesitated until the ringing sound was almost over before he mustered up the courage to press the answer button.
Chi Jinyan's cold voice was filled with displeasure.
"Come to the company."
She hung up the phone before he could say anything.
There was an unread message. He clicked it and took a look. It was rare that the young master had sent him a private message.
Is it from yesterday?
"Cen Xia may really be innocent. This matter ends here. There is no need to look for her anymore."
Rong Heng's eyes fell on every word, savoring it over and over again, as if being pricked by a needle, with a painful feeling.
His heart was filled with anger, and he kicked the old tree beside him hard. The leaves fluttered down as the tree swayed, looking desolate and sad.
Company, Chi Jinyan’s office.
Rong Heng was
In Chi Jinyan's study, several photos were quietly placed in front of him.He was still suspicious of Rong Heng's behavior, so that day he arranged for Rong Zhengqing to investigate Cen Xia's whereabouts.After all, he used to be grandma's assistant, and his efficiency was many times better than Rong Heng's.Chi Jinyan glanced at the housekeeper who was standing quietly beside him, then carefully picked up a photo.It depicts an abandoned two-story building surrounded by overgrown weeds and in a messy state.It looks lifeless and it's impossible to imagine that someone can live in such a place."He actually hid her in a place like this. I thought she had already left Qingcheng. It seems like he wanted to wait for me to relax and then quietly take her away."His words were indifferent but contained a hint of bone-chilling coldness. Rong Zhengqing remained silent and did not give any response.Chi Jinyan's gaze rested on the photo
Hearing her brother's comfort, Cen Xia nodded silently.She stared at the figure disappearing from the door with her empty eyes, and only then did she dare to show the disappointment in her heart on her face.Shirley went up to comfort her, "Xia Xia, don't worry, it will be fine."For some reason, after hearing this comfort, Cen Xia couldn't stop crying.Shirley hugged her. "It'll be okay. It's always unsettling to think about leaving soon."Cen Xia sobbed softly on her shoulder."Okay, stop crying. Let me show you the pictures I just took."Cen Xia raised her head and wiped away the tears on her face. "What photo?"Shirley originally wanted to keep it for herself, but only showed it to her because she saw that she was sad."Here, I just took a sneak shot of you."Cen Xia took the phone. In the photo, Cen Ming held her in one hand and bowed his head to comfort her. She looked up at Cen Ming again ..."Look at t
Cen Xia lowered his head and sat silently beside Chi Jinyan. Since getting in the car, the man was like an iceberg and didn't utter a word.He kept staring at her with cold eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Cen Xia was suppressed by the familiar feeling.A tear fell on the back of my hand.She looked down on herself now, as she had become so fragile after staying with her brother for so long."Cen Xia, if you have trouble controlling your tears, I can help you."Chi Jinyan slowly approached him, that tear made him inexplicably irritated.The sudden approach made Cen Xia's heart jump violently. Her fear was beyond words and she couldn't help but let out a scream.He pinched Cen Xia's face and looked at it carefully, trying to see something.She didn't say anything, she just felt that his aura was different from before, becoming more cold and violent, but his eyes made Cen Xia confused.A car overtook from behind and b
Inside the Cen family villa, the lights were dimmed and it was as bright as day.Mr. and Mrs. Cen were already excited and sat on the sofa with hope in their hearts.From time to time, they looked outside the house, hoping that Cen Ming would send someone to pick them up to reunite with Cen Xia. After not seeing each other for three years, they were so excited that it was hard to calm down.Cen Honghui was well aware of his wife's anxiety, so he held her hand gently and comforted her tenderly.But she couldn't suppress her nervousness and stood up and paced back and forth in the room."Ting Lan, just wait patiently. Aren't you still worried about A-Ming doing things?""Of course I trust Ah Ming, but you know the tricks of that kid from the Chi family. I always feel empty inside and always feel like something is going to happen ... "Although Cen Honghui looked calm on the outside, he was already beginning to feel worried inside.
Chi Jinyan instructed the housekeeper standing outside the door, "No one is allowed to reveal a single word about the Cen family to Cen Xia."Rong Zhengqing paused for a moment, then slowly replied , " Yes, Master.""From now on, no one is allowed to approach here. The villa's dogs should be tied here.""Yes, Master."Then he waved his hand and Rong Zhengqing closed the door for him.Chi Jinyan sat on the sofa beside him, his eyes inadvertently drifting towards the thin figure that was slightly bulging on the bed.I brought her back just yesterday, but she became as thin as a piece of paper overnight, and her pale face completely lost the radiance she had in the photo.Cen Ming called again, and this time he chose to answer the call"Chi Jinyan, you are really cruel and ruthless ... "Cen Ming roared and asked him to move the phone away. He sneered , " Cen Ming, you are still very idle. It seems that too few people in the
Rong Zhengqing didn't take her promise seriously at all. Unable to avoid Mo Ran's entanglement, he reluctantly continued talking."The young master has not returned since Miss Cen left. Some time ago, the young master went to the old lady's place. After he came back, he asked me to take away Miss Cen's belongings. But the next day, he suddenly arranged for Rong Heng to check where she went. He just brought her back a few days ago.""When did you arrange for him to check?""Ms. Mo, I don't remember that." Rong Zhengqing thought for a moment, "Oh, it seems to be the day when it rained heavily. It's strange that Miss Cen has been missing for such a long time before they remembered to look for her."Mo Ran always felt something was wrong when he heard it.She thought about connecting all of this together and realized something.Ignoring the housekeeper who was talking to himself, he turned and walked to a deserted place in the backyard.H
Her heart was beating so fast that she almost suffocated.Chi Jinyan found her shrinking like a snail shell and found it too boring."Cen Xia, I don't have time to play games with you recently, but you are so calm and don't worry about your brother at all ... "He deliberately glanced at Cen Xia, and sure enough, her worried look made Chi Jinyan feel dissatisfied.Cen Xia raised her head and looked at him nervously, "Master Chi, please tell me, how is my brother?""Hmph~ What can happen to someone who can't even die by jumping into the sea? You should worry about yourself.""Are you very proud of the trick you played with Cen Ming?""No ... "“There’s a price to pay for playing this role.”As soon as Chi Jinyan finished speaking, his sharp eyes swept towards Cen Xia, causing her heart to tremble and fear to come over her like a tide.Cen Xia's legs seemed to have lost support and slid weakly to the floor. She tried h
After receiving the call, Chi Jinyan rushed to the old house.Old Mrs. Chi looked more haggard than usual. He was a little worried, but she still gently asked him to sit down."Rong Heng, you go first."After dismissing all the servants, she looked at Chi Jinyan, who was still smiling, and asked , " Jinyan, how old are you?""Grandma, what's wrong with you?"Chi Jinyan was confused. Grandma said it was an important matter, but it turned out that she just wanted to chat about daily life?After a pause, he replied , " Grandma, you forgot that I am twenty-seven years old this year.""We've been married for three years. Time flies." She muttered calmly and slowly.Chi Jinyan felt vaguely uneasy , " Grandma ... if you have something to say, just say it.""The kid's brother came to see me."Through her reading glasses, she clearly saw him clench his fists.She sighed and said , " Don't worry.""Grandma, what is
