Chapter 404: Chapter 405: Ning Xia Takes the Stage 7
Li Tingyan really felt that something was wrong. He had angered his wife. Could she have eloped with Lu Chi?
If thatâs true, he absolutely couldnât bear it and would commit suicide!
He hurried back to the bedroom to check and found that Nianyangâs belongings were all there with no signs of being taken away. Could it be that last night, in a fit of anger, Nianyang didnât even have time to pack her stuff and just left with Lu Chi?
Li Tingyan broke out in cold sweat and quickly called the medical room to ask if Lu Chi was there. The person on the other end said that in the morning someone found Lu Chi asleep on the ground, having a high fever, and had developed severe pneumonia and was now in a serious coma receiving treatment.
Hearing this, Li Tingyan breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Chi was still in the medical room, which meant his wife hadnât eloped, thank goodness!
But if she wasnât with Lu Chi, where could she be?
She had only been here for a little more than half a month and wasnât familiar with the place. Where else could she go besides here?
Right, it seemed Nianyang had a good relationship with Zhou Jiangzhiâs wife and Xu Saozi, maybe she was with them?
Li Tingyan didnât waste a second and called Lin Xiaâs husband and Liang Baoguo; both said Nianyang hadnât been to their homes, another lead broken!
Li Tingyan was thoroughly panicked, having a bad premonition that his wife might have left. If that were true, where would he find her?
Pacing anxiously, Li Tingyan suddenly thought of something and quickly called the Jiang Family. It was New Yearâs Eve, Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li were busy going door to door for New Yearâs greetings.
Jiang Tian answered the phone, excitedly saying, "Is it Mr. Li? Did Yangyang tell you to call home for New Yearâs greetings? My parents just went out, theyâre not here now; ask Yangyang to take the call, I have something to say to her!"
Li Tingyanâs heart sank, "Has Nini not come home?"
Jiang Tian asked in confusion, "Isnât Yangyang with you? Are you saying Yangyang is missing? Where did she go?"
Li Tingyan didnât want the Jiang Family to know about his personal issues with Nianyang, so he only said, "Nini and I had a fight, and I donât know where she went. If she came running back home, please remember to call me!"
Jiang Tian gasped, "Arenât you two always getting along well? How could you have a fight? Yangyang has such a good temper and loves you so much, it must have been you who upset her!"
Normally, Jiang Tian would be afraid of Li Tingyanâs intimidating demeanor and wouldnât dare to speak to him like this!
But now, through the phone, Jiang Tian couldnât see him, and his tone was very apologetic as if he did something wrong. Added with Jiang Tianâs excessive worry for Nianyang, she wouldnât be intimidated by Li Tingyan; her tone was quite brash.
Li Tingyanâs throat was dry, rendering him speechless. Jiang Tian paused a moment before saying, "Mr. Li, yesterday was Yangyangâs birthday, she called me and said you had prepared a surprise for her in the evening. Iâve never heard Yangyang so happy before; even through the phone, she seemed as excited as a little kid..."
"Yangyang has never celebrated a birthday until now. Our family intended to give her a proper celebration this time, but she insisted on going to your place.
She cares so much about you; even if youâre mad, you should be more accommodating and let her have a good birthday. You drove her away, shattered her expectations and surprise, she must be feeling so hurt inside..."
Li Tingyan hung up the phone, his eyes already bloodshot.
