Chapter 210: Chapter 209: Running Away from Home (5)

Sister Hua nodded, and Shi Che’s car sped off incredibly fast, disappearing from everyone’s sight in an instant. It took a few seconds for the three people to remain frozen before they suddenly realized what was happening. Shi Che had just been in a car accident; how could they let him go out alone to search for Young Madam? Without delay, Old Zhu got into another car from the house, took Xiao Zhao with him, and followed in pursuit.

The night was deepening as Shi Che gripped the steering wheel tightly, his dark eyes narrowing intensely.

There weren’t many places Ling Chuxia could go to. Over the past three years, she had led a secluded life, mostly shuttling between the old mansion and the villa. She had abandoned all her previous hobbies and truly became a homemaker. Once out of the house, he didn’t know where to start looking for her.

Shi Che could only drive around temporarily, heading to the malls and beauty salons she would occasionally visit.

The milk tea shop was closing down, followed by the adjacent shops, one by one. The lights of the shops went out, and the street gradually became deserted.

Ling Chuxia looked around blankly, standing by the roadside for a long while, without a clue where she could go.

She didn’t want to return to the villa, and it was even less likely she would go back to the old house. Apart from these two places, she had nowhere to call home. Ling Chuxia touched her pocket, finding her cellphone and some money.

In her haste, she had run out in her home clothes without taking her purse, only carrying some spare change on her. She didn’t even have enough money to pay for a room.

Ling Chuxia’s hand picked up her cellphone, unlocked it, and the screen lit up with many missed calls—all from Sister Hua. She stared at them blankly and then suddenly found it all somewhat amusing.

What was she expecting?

Shi Che hated her so much; he probably couldn’t wait for her to disappear, could he? Sister Hua... anxious to find her must simply be fulfilling her duty.

Ling Chuxia gripped the phone tightly in her hand, and finally, she opened the contact list and searched for Ji Xinxin’s name.

Shi Che drove around in circles without finding Ling Chuxia. As the sky grew darker, his expression remained stoic, but his grip on the steering wheel grew tighter and tighter, the veins on the back of his hand slowly becoming more prominent.

The dizziness grew stronger. Shi Che felt as if a string in his head was being harshly pulled, giving him an excruciating headache. He had to stop the car on the side of the road, taking deep breaths.

Where could she go?

He was surprised when he received Sister Hua’s call. Over these three years, he had grown desperate with Ling Chuxia. With her mission unfinished, she could endure any humiliation as if nothing had happened.

He didn’t expect her to run away, and not to return so late at night.

At that moment, his heart couldn’t describe what it felt. He thought that no matter what he did or said, she would no longer react. So she... still felt pain, still felt sadness?

Pain... sadness?

Shi Che’s dark eyes suddenly brightened, as if something flashed rapidly through his mind. He sat up straight, started the engine, and pressed down on the gas pedal, his car speeding away once more.

Ling Chuxia initially just tried calling Ji Xinxin, not knowing if she would even be in the country, but she was the only person who could come to her aid.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she dialed out, Ji Xinxin answered, "Speak, what’s the matter?"

"Xinxin, can you come and pick me up?" Ling Chuxia’s voice was hoarse from crying too much, rough as if filled with grit, and it also carried a heavy nasal tone, clearly indicating she had been crying.
