Kapitel 22: Chapter 22 Yun Yiyi is Missing
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Xue'er, Yun Yiyi's best friend, had a fair oval face, and her makeup was exquisitely applied. At this moment, she was sitting in the passenger seat of Yun Yiyi's car. She looked at Yun Yiyi and asked in confusion, "Why are you selling your car all of a sudden?"
Yun Yiyi's expression stiffened, and a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes.
Why? Why was she selling her car? Was it not because she was in urgent need of money? The only thing of any value that she possessed was her car. If she did not sell her car, how was she going to buy a house for her brother, Yun Qiao?
When Zhang Xue'er saw the grim expression on Yun Yiyi's face, she had a hunch about what happened. "What did your mother ask you to do again?"
Yun Yiyi hesitated for a moment before she said, "Buy a house for my brother."
Yun Yiyi had known Zhang Xue'er since high school; they had known each other for more than ten years now. They knew the situation in each other's family very well and did not have many secrets between them. For this reason, she decided to tell Zhang Xue'er what happened.
"Buy a house?" Zhang Xue'er's eyes widened in shock when she heard Yun Yiyi's words. "The price of a house in Jiang City is so high now, how can you afford it? Your family already has a house, why does your brother need a new house just so he can get married? Most importantly, why do you have to buy it?"
Yun Yiyi sighed upon hearing Zhang Xue'er's words. Then, she recounted everything that had happened earlier.
Zhang Xue'er was speechless for a moment after listening to Yun Yiyi. Her eyes burned with anger as she said, "Your mother's greed for money didn't go away even after so many years! Moreover, she only favors your brother. You're her flesh and blood, how can she treat you so cruelly?"
Yun Yiyi only sighed in response.
"Then what should we do now? Yiyi, I really want to help you. However, you know my grandmother just passed away a few days ago. Our family took out a lot of money to pay for the hospital fees and funeral... " Zhang Xue'er said, clearly distressed she could not be of any help to Yun Yiyi.
"Don't worry," Yun Yiyi hurriedly said, "I'll deal with it. Although houses are expensive in Jiang City, I'm sure I'll be able to find a cheap and affordable one."
Zhang Xue'er thought about it for a moment before she said, "Why don't you borrow money from Ye Haoxuan? His family is rich, and you have a good relationship with him."
Yun Yiyi stiffened at the mention of Ye Haoxuan. She smiled bitterly and said, "Xue'er, it's fine if you didn't mention him. Now that you did, I feel even sadder..."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xue'er looked at Yun Yiyi in confusion.
Yun Yiyi said, "He fired me."
"What?" Zhang Xue'er exclaimed in shock.
When Yun Yiyi recalled that she was fired by Ye Haoxuan for no reason, she sighed again. "Xue'er, let's not talk about him anymore. I suddenly feel like eating hotpot. Can you accompany me?"
Zhang Xue'er's heart was filled with questions, and she wanted to question Yun Yiyi further. However, when she saw the exhaustion on Yun Yiyi's pale face, she sighed and said, "Alright, I'll accompany you to eat hotpot and get drunk as well."
At the mention of getting drunk, Yun Yiyi instantly thought of Fei Mo's cold and unsmiling handsome face. Despite his appearance, he was clearly kind to her.
Her heavy heart felt warm at this moment when she thought about him. Unfortunately, the feeling did not last long when she recalled his unhappy expression when he brought the drawer out of the bedroom last night. Clearly, she had mistaken his kindness for something more. After all, theirs was just a marriage of convenience.
"Okay." Yun Yiyi agreed. Although she had promised Fei Mo she would no longer drink, they had an agreement that they would not interfere in each other's affairs. She felt extremely depressed today, and alcohol would help her numb the pain.
…
Meanwhile, the black Land Rover that had been tailing Yun Yiyi the entire day followed her until her car stopped near a hotpot restaurant.
Gu Jingyan watched with a frown on his face as Yun Yiyi and another girl walked into the restaurant. It seemed like they were going to eat.
It would be pointless for him to continue following her so he drove away. After all, there was plenty of time in the future for him to see Yun Yiyi.
…
In the hot pot restaurant.
Yun Yiyi was naturally unaware that Gu Jingyan had been following her the entire afternoon. After she and Zhang Xue'er entered the private room and placed their orders, she stopped the waiter who was about to leave. "Please bring me three bottles of white liquor."
Zhang Xue'er's eyes widened immediately. She looked at Yun Yiyi and hurriedly said, "Three bottles of white liquor? I can't drink white liquor. I'll get drunk after having one glass."
Yun Yiyi was a regular customer at this hotpot restaurant so the waiter recognized her. He said, "The alcohol content for the white liquor we have is 62%. It's rather high. Why don't you drink beer, miss? Since you're a regular customer, we'll give you a discount."
"I can't get drunk on beer... It's fine. Bring me two bottles of white liquor instead of three," Yun Yiyi said, not persuaded. Without waiting for the waiter to reply, she said, "Hurry up and bring it over."
Upon seeing how determined Yun Yiyi was, the waiter only said, "Okay, I'll bring it over right away."
Zhang Xue'er knew Yun Yiyi was in a terrible mood today. Although she could not really hold her drinks well, she was determined to accompany Yun Yiyi. She patted her chest and confidently said, "Okay, let's not go home until we're drunk!"
"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk!"
...
Meanwhile, Ah Qing was waiting at the entrance of Hua Corporation. He had waited for a long time, but he still had not seen Yun Yiyi. He was not anxious since he assumed Yun Yiyi was working overtime.
However, when it was well past 8 pm, and he still did not see Yun Yiyi, he decided to go up to her office to look for her. When he arrived at her office, he discovered it was deserted. Then, he went to the underground car park to look for her car but found it was missing.
With this discovery, he did not waste any time and called Fei Mo immediately. At this time, the watch on his wrist showed that it was already 9,.45 pm.
...
At this moment, Fei Mo who was still on IV drip was focused on working.
His mobile phone suddenly lit up and broke the silence in the ward.
He looked over and saw it was Ah Qing. He frowned slightly as pressed the answer button and brought the phone to his ear.
Ah Qing's anxious voice rang from the other end of the phone. "Young master, young Madam… s-she..."
"What happened?" Fei Mo's heart thumped wildly. "Tell me quickly!"
"Young madam is missing."
"Missing?" Fei Mo frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by missing?"
Ah Qing told Fei Mo what had happened before he said, "Young master, I just called Wan Mei Villa. Young madam hasn't gone back. Why don't you try calling her to ask where she is, and I'll go pick her up?"
Fei Mo hung up without replying to Ah Qing. He immediately dialed Yun Yiyi's number.
"Sorry, the number you've dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
Fei Mo's expression was terrifyingly dark at this moment.
Yun Yiyi was missing…
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Gu Jingyan. Was it possible that Gu Jingyan had taken her away?
His heart sank when he thought about this.
He pulled the needle out of his arm immediately. The pain was nothing compared to his anxiety at this moment. The blood that dripped from his arm to the white bed sheet bloomed like a red rose. It was exceptionally eye-catching.
He hurriedly left the ward with only one thought in mind, 'Yun Yiyi…'
