Escape from Marriage 100 Days: Sweet Wife Steals a Treasure-Chapter 143 - Finding a person
Chapter 143 Finding a person
At this time, with a ‘squeak’ sound, the door to the office opened.
The four turned to look at it together.
Mom!!!
Was this still their sharp looking boss Gu?
He looked weak, his beard was unshaven, the clothes on his body was crumpled and droopy. They also didn’t know whether he had changed in the past few days or not.
“Cough, brother, rest for a while. Small… Small sister-in-law, we’ll just go and find her.” Shen Letian stammered.
Sheng Yu hastily nodded in agreement, worried that Gu Xingshen’s appearance out in the company would make the staff and even the old Auntie sweeping the restrooms make bad associations when they saw him, making the people’s hearts and minds be in chaos, therefore causing the company shares to plummet…
*The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed from an ant’s nest, so they needed to prevent it!
Leng Tou’s fingers hit the table as he murmured, “Boss, did you ask the old Villa?”
Gu Xingshen rubbed his eyebrows, “Asked.”
Tang Yu also replied, “Xiao Jing also asked. The old man said he hadn’t seen her. He also said ‘didn’t Xiao Qiao leave with Qin Yao?’ Then he asked her if something had happened! Scared, Xiao Jing hurriedly appeased the old man by telling him nothing had happened and didn’t dare call to ask again!”
“Really?” Leng Tou was also puzzled.
“Why don’t you try again? Maybe she didn’t have a place to go and went there! How can a person fly away without the shadow being seen?” Shen Letian suggested.
Sheng Yu however shook his head and felt that it was unlikely. “With Xiao Qiao’s relationship with the Gong family, she would definitely not go back there! It’s not like you don’t know how long she hasn’t been home!”
Listening to the four’s discussion, Gu Xingshen dialed the number of the Old Gong Villa anxiously.
At this time, Grandpa Gong was downstairs studying what to cook for his baby granddaughter at noon today.
Gong Xiaoqiao was asleep upstairs and hadn’t woken up. That girl seemed to be tired recently and spent most of her time sleeping. He couldn’t bear to wake her up.
The crisp sound of the telephone rang and Grandpa Gong hurried to answer it, fearing that it would wake Gong Xiaoqiao up.
“Hello? Grandpa Gong, did Xiao Qiao go to your place?” Gu Xingshen’s voice was quite tired.
“Stinky bad boy, I gave you my good granddaughter, but you lost the person and now you’re still looking for this old man to ask about the whereabouts!” Grandpa Gong’s voice was very strong, his beard warping up on both sides.
“Grandpa Gong…”
Gu Xingshen had not yet finished talking when Grandpa Gong hang up the phone. “Don’t ask. Even if I know where she is I won’t tell you!”
Grandpa Gong wasn’t assured after he finished speaking and angrily pulled out the telephone line.
Gu Xingshen: “…”
Grandpa Gong had said it in such a loud voice that even the four heard what he had said on the phone.
Gu Xingshen hang up his cell phone and immediately hurried out without saying a word.
“Boss, boss. Where are you going?” Shen Letian shouted in the back.
“Stop shouting, he must have gone to the old villa.” Leng Tou…
“The old villa? Didn’t the old man say she wasn’t there?” Shen Letian was puzzled.
“The tone of the old man’s sentence was simply to not make a move.” Leng Tou explained.
Sheng Yu also nodded and echoed, “I thought about it too. The old man loves Xiao Qiao so much. If he didn’t know where Gong Xiaoqiao was, how would he have been able to curse just now!”
…
Old Gong Villa
Gong Xiaoqiao was at last full of sleep and went down to help Nanny Lin cook.
Three days back here was her happiest time. Here, she could forget everything and completely relax herself.
If she could, she really didn’t want to leave, but she knew that she still had a long way to go, for her and her mother’s dreams, no matter how difficult it was to go on.
