Chapter 255: Chapter 255: If there is a coincidence, it’s purely accidental (1)_1

...

On Saturday night, while doing laundry, Xia Wan’an pulled out a black card from her pocket.

She wore those clothes the day she went to her parents’ house... That day, they had tangled over the black card, and in the end, had he secretly slipped the black card into her pocket when she wasn’t looking?

Han Jingnian... What was he really thinking? One moment he was saying such cruel, heartbreaking words to her, and the next, he was doing things that made her think there was hope for them...

As Xia Wan’an was staring at the black card, lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Zhang Te.

Before Xia Wan’an could say a word, Zhang Te burst out anxiously, "Madam, have you seen Mr. Han?"

"No..." Xia Wan’an frowns, sensing something amiss. After a brief pause, she asks, "...What’s happening?"

"Mr. Han...he’s gone missing...since last night. I’ve been trying to find him, but his phone is switched off. I’ve searched his company, his house, all the places he usually goes to. I haven’t found him anywhere, even the old lady has been triggered."

Well... Han Jingnian is a grown man, nothing could possibly happen to him, right?

Just as this thought flashed through Xia Wan’an’s mind, Zhang Te’s voice came through the phone again.

"It has never been like this before with Mr. Han. Even when he couldn’t be found, he could still be reached. He doesn’t want the old lady to worry about him. The reason I’m so worried this time, is because... because... after midnight tonight, it’s his birthday."

At the last sentence, Xia Wan’an hurriedly checked the calendar on her phone.

Recently, so much had happened, that without Zhang Te’s reminder, she would have waited until tomorrow’s agenda to remember Han Jingnian’s birthday.

"Ma’am, you know, Mr. Han never celebrated his birthday... To be precise, he wouldn’t allow anyone to bring up his birthday in his presence, but yesterday Ai Jiang did..."

At the mention of a familiar name, Xia Wan’an’s brows furrowed: "Ai Jiang?"

"Yes...On the other end of the phone, Zhang Te, seeming to sense the change in Xia Wan’an’s tone, quickly explained, "Ai Jiang was fired by Mr. Han. Yesterday, she made a scene in the office, saying she had prepared a birthday gift for Mr. Han. He got so mad, didn’t speak after she left, and since then, I have been unable to find Mr. Han..."

Xia Wan’an had been puzzled about Han Jingnian’s refusal to celebrate his birthdays.

It wasn’t until recently when her grandmother told her that Han Jingnian’s father had died on his birthday did she realize why.

Ai Jiang mentioning a birthday gift yesterday was undoubtedly ripping open Han Jingnian’s old wounds...

No wonder Zhang Te was so nervous... But why did Han Jingnian fire Ai Jiang? Was it...because of her?

As Xia Wan’an held the phone deep in thought, she realized this was not the time to think about these things, so she quickly said, "Zhang Te, please continue searching. I’ll help as well. Let’s keep in touch if there are any updates."

"Yes, ma’am."

After hanging up, Xia Wan’an dialed Han Jingnian’s number. As Zhang Te had said, it really was switched off.

Xia Wan’an tried to calm herself, thinking about where Han Jingnian could have gone.

PS: Ai Jiang was the instigator of the previous situations. Rest assured, she can’t cause a huge trouble! The next part of the story is... the woman is the dominant one? Uh?? Did I miss something in the plot?
