Chapter 1002 - Chapter 1002 Chapter 1002 Dont Leave Me

Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Don’t Leave Me Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Don’t Leave Me “Xiaoxu is really outstanding,” the boss said. “Not only is she an overseas returnee, but her designs are also terrific. Recently, a real estate company wants to collaborate with our advertising agency. I think we can give this project to Xiaoxu. What does everyone think?”

“Handing it to Xiaoxu would definitely be no problem,” a colleague praised.

“Yes, let’s give it to Xiaoxu. Just keep in mind that the real estate company is always demanding and especially good at finding faults.”

Xu Chaomu had never led any significant projects since she came here. Now that she had been given this job, she naturally felt it was her duty to take it on.

“Then let’s hand it to Xiaoxu; you be the main person in charge,” the boss said.

“Alright, boss, rest assured. I’ll successfully complete it,” Xu Chaomu responded with a smile.

“I believe in you,” the boss toasted Xu Chaomu, “With everyone’s joint efforts, in some time, the company will organize a trip.”

“Wow, thank you, boss!”

“Thank you, boss!”

Everyone raised their glasses together to celebrate.

With a new person joining the company, everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere was harmonious. In such a small company, there wasn’t much competition over interests; it was more about camaraderie among colleagues.

Xu Chaomu really liked it here, and everyone treated her like a younger sister.

Only Xu Chaomu knew that, alas, she wasn’t young anymore; she even had a child.

After the meal, the colleagues started playing cards.

Back in C City, nobody had joined her for cards, and she had somewhat forgotten how to play.

She remembered that Shen Chi was fantastic at cards, always winning. When she was little, she often lost to him and eventually stopped playing with him. All her New Year’s money was cheated away by him.

Thinking about it now, she was too naive as a child and was cheated out of a lot of money by Shen Chi.

Of course, it wasn’t all his fault. Every time she played cards with him, she never concentrated, her eyes always strayed towards him.

Getting distracted while gazing, and then losing.

At this thought, it was still his fault for being so good-looking.

At that moment, Xu Chaomu drifted off again until a colleague called her, “Chaomu, it’s your turn to play.”

“Oh, right, right.” Xu Chaomu gathered her thoughts and focused on the game.

Having been tormented by Shen Chi in her childhood, although it had been a while since she played, she found her card skills were still not bad. Especially the techniques that Shen Chi had taught her were very useful.

Before long, she won quite a bit of money.

“Wow, Chaomu, didn’t see that coming; you’re pretty good at cards,” a colleague complimented.

“Luck, just luck,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile. “Maybe I just got good cards today.”

“Didn’t see it coming,” the colleague praised again.

“Come on, let’s continue; I call a pair of tens,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Okay, let’s continue, continue.”

Everyone was playing cards in the hotel’s private room. They were divided into several tables and were all very enthusiastic and enjoying the game.

Xu Chaomu calculated, for the next few days, she wouldn’t have to worry about ‘Wealth’ for food and could even add some meat.

That afternoon, everyone played cards, and in the evening, they gathered again for dinner.

Xu Chaomu got along harmoniously with everyone, and they all liked her very much.

She thought that people are inherently lazy, and over time, she would gradually grow fond of this small city.

She played until after eight in the evening and then Xu Chaomu walked home alone.

There wasn’t much nightlife in the small city, and by eight o’clock, the streets were already quite quiet, especially since her neighborhood was close to a scenic area, adding to the tranquility.

The streetlights cast their light onto the ground as she walked home in their bright illumination.

At this moment, she felt relaxed; it had been a long time since she had been this carefree, without having to carry too much burden.

Her shadow moved under the light, and occasionally, insects fluttered in front of her.

Just as she was about to turn into her neighborhood, suddenly, she saw several people gathered across the street, apparently watching something.

From her angle, she couldn’t see clearly, only the backs of the crowd and shadows on the ground.

Everyone was chattering, and behind these people, there was a red sports car parked.

Although separated by a street, Xu Chaomu could still recognize that it was a Maserati.

Such luxury cars were rare in a small city, and even more so parked on the roadside.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but wonder, what had happened? Whose car was it? Why were so many people spectating here?

Driven by curiosity, Xu Chaomu crossed the street toward them.

Before she even reached the crowd, she heard a piercing scream, “Awoo, awoo…”

The sound was harrowing and grew weaker and weaker… accompanied by the tinkling of a small bell, “ding ding ding.”

Xu Chaomu recognized that sound all too well–it was Wealth!

No!

She hurried over, pushing through the crowd, “Excuse me,” “Please let me through!”

No, had her Wealth been in an accident? No, it couldn’t be, she always kept him locked at home!

As she pushed through the crowd, her heart thumped anxiously. It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be! It surely wasn’t her Wealth!

The dog’s wails were agonizing and faint, starting as “awoo, awoo,” but after a while, turning into “whimper, whimper…”

But, what she didn’t want to see still happened!

After she broke through the crowd, her heart nearly stopped, and she was completely stunned.

There, lying just outside the car tire, was Wealth, little Wealth covered in blood, looking at Xu Chaomu with pitiful eyes, unable to make a sound from the pain.

“Wealth, Wealth!” Xu Chaomu ran over, knelt down, and lifted him from the ground.

There was a pool of blood on the ground, strikingly horrifying.

Wealth seemed to recognize Xu Chaomu’s voice, realizing his owner had come, and he weakly opened his eyes looking for Xu Chaomu, making a pitiful “whimper” noise from his mouth.

Xu Chaomu quickly examined his wounds. He had been run over by a car and was bleeding profusely, barely able to lift his eyelids.

“Wealth, you can’t be hurt, you have to stay with me, you can’t be hurt, Wealth…” Xu Chaomu cried.

Tears “swooshed” out of her eyes uncontrollably, and she didn’t mind that Wealth was covered in blood; she took off her own clothes and wrapped him in them.

Wealth lay motionless, his small eyes seemed to mist over; he was in so much pain he couldn’t even cry out, only managing to look pitifully at Xu Chaomu.

“Wealth, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t take good care of you, I’m so sorry…” Xu Chaomu was distraught.

Wealth’s fur was soaked in blood, which soon dyed her clothing red. His small bell collar was also stained red with blood.

“Hold on, I’m taking you to the hospital, just hold on, don’t leave me… don’t leave me… I have nothing left, I only have you… Wealth, don’t leave me…” Xu Chaomu sobbed uncontrollably, holding her Wealth, her heart aching terribly, as tears continuously flowed.
