Chapter 212: Chapter 211: Running Away from Home (7)

Old Zhu and Xiao Zhao’s cars caught up from behind, and they saw Shi Che’s complexion was extremely unsightly, his body tensely clenched as if he was about to collapse yet he still forcefully held himself up.

Xiao Zhao, anxious beyond measure, disregarded everything else and rushed to support Shi Che, pleading urgently, "President Shi, you should go to the hospital first. I’ve already sent someone to look for Young Madam. Young Madam is grown up; she won’t be in any trouble."

Shi Che brushed off Xiao Zhao’s hand, pondered for a moment, then said somberly, "Call Ji Xinxin."

If Ling Chuxia wasn’t at the school, the only other place she could be was with Ji Xinxin. He hadn’t considered this before because he knew that recently, Ji Xinxin had been filming abroad and wasn’t in the country.

Hearing Shi Che say this, Xiao Zhao also understood and immediately dialed Ji Xinxin’s number.

Ji Xinxin, since taking in Ling Chuxia, had been silently driving with no conversation. Ji Xinxin was too lazy to speak to Ling Chuxia, who just sat quietly, continuing to stare blankly.

The ringtone of the cellphone broke the deadly silence. Ji Xinxin glanced at the phone screen, saw it was Shi Che calling, and sneered before turning to Ling Chuxia, "That jerk from your family is calling."

Ling Chuxia, who had been lost in thought, reflexively glanced at the phone screen. Then, her body stiffened and she vehemently shook her head, "Don’t tell him."

Right now, she didn’t want to go back nor did she want to see Shi Che.

Ji Xinxin reached to hang up the call, but just as her finger was about to touch the screen, she paused, flipped her finger, and pressed the answer button, "Hello."

The voice on the other end wasn’t Shi Che, but Xiao Zhao, his tone slightly urgent, "Miss Ji, I’m sorry to bother you. Is our Young Madam with you?"

Hearing Xiao Zhao’s voice, Ji Xinxin’s anger flared. Though she didn’t know what happened, something significant must have driven Ling Chuxia to flee. Meanwhile, Shi Che showed no concern at all, leaving it all to his servants and assistants?

How laughable!

With fury in her eyes but a laugh in her tone, Ji Xinxin sounded utterly innocent, "What are you joking about? I’m currently filming in the United States. Chuxia is across the Atlantic from me; how could she possibly be with me?"

Listening to her, Xiao Zhao sounded thoroughly dejected and whispered, "Then Miss Ji, if Young Madam contacts you, could you please let me know immediately?"

Despite the anger boiling inside her, Ji Xinxin grunted affirmatively, then angrily hung up and turned off the phone. She glanced sideways at Ling Chuxia, who had been quietly sitting throughout the call as if she hadn’t heard anything. Although she had reacted when she saw Shi Che’s name earlier, now her gaze was entirely vacant.

Ji Xinxin cursed under her breath and forcefully pressed the gas pedal. The red sports car sped under the night sky.

Upon returning to Ji Xinxin’s apartment, Ji Xinxin immediately dragged Ling Chuxia and flung her onto the sofa. Standing in front of her with arms crossed and a commanding air, she demanded, "Talk, what exactly happened?"

When Ling Chuxia was dragged to the sofa, her hand touched the couch and inadvertently brushed her wound, causing her to hiss in pain, her brows tightly furrowing.

Only then did Ji Xinxin notice the abrasions on Ling Chuxia’s hands and knees. Though there was no bleeding, the wounds were horrifyingly raw. Ji Xinxin’s eyes widened in shock, "Did that bastard do this?"
