The next morning, as early as the first light of dawn, Qi Jiayou went to the company, but his usual high work efficiency was nowhere to be seen.
“President, did you not rest well last night?”
Yi Ting, seeing the dark circles under his president’s eyes, had casually asked. He was immediately met with his president’s cold glare. Had he said something wrong?
“Where is Yu Ziyue?”
Yi Ting was even more puzzled. “President, it’s not even working hours yet!”
Poor Yi Ting had been summoned from his bed by the president before working hours, only to arrive and find no urgent matters.
This made Yi Ting suspect he had committed some mistake.
Meanwhile, another person had also woken up very early.
Lan Qianqian woke up without any grogginess, her eyes as clear as spring water. However, those bright eyes were filled with pain.
She tremblingly raised her pale, translucent hands, as if she could still see the flowing blood on them…
Had she become a murderer? Had she really killed someone?
For the entire day, Lan Qianqian confined herself to her room and did not go out anywhere. No one knew what she was thinking…
This action of hers had greatly worried the three older and three younger individuals outside, as well as Mu Jingxuan, who was restless in his own apartment. However, he no longer even had a reason to go see her.
Tomorrow, after observing her condition tomorrow, he would return to his own place.
This was Mu Jingxuan forcing himself. His staying here was of no use, and he couldn’t put his mind at ease. He always wanted to see her. What she needed most now wasn’t others’ concern, but an antidote!
Time slipped away quietly…
Looking at herself in the mirror wearing a wedding dress, Ji Anlan’s heart was filled with sweetness. If only there weren’t so many things to deal with tomorrow. If only… he could have accomplished it with her.
However, she only wanted that one title. Other things could be taken care of slowly later. She believed she could definitely walk with him to the very end, even if it was just a marriage of mutual respect.
She had already informed Lan Qianqian that tomorrow was her wedding. Lan Qianqian had not replied, but her presence was enough. Nothing else was important. The most important thing was that man.
That man… she had liked for many years.
A middle-aged, gentle woman in a foreign country currently had an anxious expression on her face.
She had already made several phone calls, but no one answered. Just as she was about to make another call, the phone finally connected.
“Ziyue, why aren’t you answering your mother’s calls? Do you know how worried your mother is! I’ve called you several times, and you haven’t answered once. Did something happen?”
If she had answered any slower, she would have really called her father and asked him to investigate thoroughly.
Yu Ziyue forced out an extremely unpleasant smile and spoke with a weak, powerless voice, “Mom, I’m sorry, I didn’t see it. When are you coming back?”
Although she had protected her phone yesterday, it had still gotten a little wet and was working intermittently. She would go out to change her phone when she felt better.
“Ziyue, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why does your voice sound strange?” The woman very keenly sensed that her daughter’s voice was not quite right.
“Mom, I’m outside, and there are many people here.”
Yu Ziyue forced herself to get up and pour a glass of water. Her dry lips were finally moisturized. After gulping down two large cups of water, she slowly stopped.
This way, her mother wouldn’t suspect anything. She was most afraid of her mother worrying.
“Have you eaten? Mom is coming back tonight, and she’ll arrive tomorrow morning. You just wait for Mom obediently at home.”
She still had to wait until tomorrow to arrive. Why was it taking so long? She wanted to see her mother now, to embrace her mother, to eat her mother’s cooking, and also… to sleep with her mother!
Even though she was so old and hadn’t slept with her mother for a long time, she just wanted to cling to her now!
She didn’t know why she felt so upset in her heart, and she wanted to cry.
“Mom, you know me. I can’t wake up in the morning, so I definitely haven’t eaten. If you come, I’ll definitely wake up every morning and eat all your breakfast!”
Yu Ziyue finished speaking with a smile, but she abruptly wiped the corners of her eyes. She only then realized how well her parents had protected her; she couldn’t even bear a small problem.
The call fell into a moment of silence…
“What’s wrong, Mom? Are you still listening to the phone?”
Yu Ziyue found it strange. Why had she suddenly stopped speaking?
“Ziyue, it’s nighttime now!”
Yu Ziyue’s eyes widened in surprise. Nighttime? She blinked her big eyes twice, then immediately said, “Look at me, I’ve been playing indoors and don’t even know what time it is. I’m going back right away, Mom.”
The woman on the other end breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as nothing had happened. Raising a daughter was indeed a constant worry. She was afraid her child might encounter villains or be bullied outside.
Ziyue, she was already so worried. If her other daughter were here, she would have turned gray prematurely, wouldn’t she? But at that time, she would be very happy every day.
But daughter, where exactly are you? Mom has been looking for you for a long time. Come out quickly. Mom will definitely hold your hand and never lose you again…
Thinking of her daughter, the woman wished she could fly over immediately. If she could see her after arriving tomorrow, how wonderful it would be!
Because she thought of her daughter again, the woman felt a bit tired. Just as she was about to hang up, a voice suddenly sounded from the phone, directly buzzing her eardrums.
“Mom, I saw a woman who looked quite like Sister. But it’s a pity she isn’t Sister.”
The phone was silent for a long time, and then the woman, rarely losing her composure, raised her voice considerably:
“You said you found your sister? Where is she? Mom is coming over now! Ask her to wait… No, Mom is going to find her. Tell her to go to sleep first, it’s time to sleep.”
The woman was speaking somewhat incoherently. She even exaggeratedly checked her reflection in the mirror, wanting to see if her appearance was neat, clean, and attractive.
However, her smile quickly disappeared completely.
“Mom, she just looks like her, she’s not.”
Mom really cared about Sister. She could only hear the first part of her words. Was she embracing Sister even in her dreams?
Yu Ziyue couldn’t help but envy that sister she had never met. She effortlessly possessed something she could never have in her lifetime.
But she just looked like her? Then she wasn’t. Her daughter was very beautiful. Anyone who saw her should recognize her.
But they didn’t recognize her. So, even if she looked similar, Mom still had to go see. At most, she would be a little disappointed, she was already used to it.
“Ziyue, you’ve made arrangements with her. I’ll go over after I get off the plane tomorrow. Mom is treating.”
Mom was going to see her in person again?
It was all her fault for being talkative. Why did she bring this up? It was just that the first time she saw that woman, she felt she looked very similar. Later, perhaps because she looked too much, she didn’t feel much.
She hadn’t expected that the woman she had glimpsed in the hospital would look like this.
