At this time, with a âsqueakâ sound, the door to the office opened.
The four turned to look at it together.
Mom!!!
Was this still their sharp looking boss Gu?
He looked weak, his beard was unshaven, the clothes on his body was crumpled and droopy. They also didnât know whether he had changed in the past few days or not.
âCough, brother, rest for a while. Small⦠Small sister-in-law, weâll just go and find her.â Shen Letian stammered.
Sheng Yu hastily nodded in agreement, worried that Gu Xingshenâs appearance out in the company would make the staff and even the old Auntie sweeping the restrooms make bad associations when they saw him, making the peopleâs hearts and minds be in chaos, therefore causing the company shares to plummetâ¦

Leng Touâs fingers hit the table as he murmured, âBoss, did you ask the old Villa?â
Gu Xingshen rubbed his eyebrows, âAsked.â
Tang Yu also replied, âXiao Jing also asked. The old man said he hadnât seen her. He also said âdidnât Xiao Qiao leave with Qin Yao?â Then he asked her if something had happened! Scared, Xiao Jing hurriedly appeased the old man by telling him nothing had happened and didnât dare call to ask again!â
âReally?â Leng Tou was also puzzled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy donât you try again? Maybe she didnât have a place to go and went there! How can a person fly away without the shadow being seen?â Shen Letian suggested.
Sheng Yu however shook his head and felt that it was unlikely. âWith Xiao Qiaoâs relationship with the Gong family, she would definitely not go back there! Itâs not like you donât know how long she hasnât been home!â
Listening to the fourâs discussion, Gu Xingshen dialed the number of the Old Gong Villa anxiously.
At this time, Grandpa Gong was downstairs studying what to cook for his baby granddaughter at noon today.
Gong Xiaoqiao was asleep upstairs and hadnât woken up. That girl seemed to be tired recently and spent most of her time sleeping. He couldnât bear to wake her up.
The crisp sound of the telephone rang and Grandpa Gong hurried to answer it, fearing that it would wake Gong Xiaoqiao up.
âHello? Grandpa Gong, did Xiao Qiao go to your place?â Gu Xingshenâs voice was quite tired.
âStinky bad boy, I gave you my good granddaughter, but you lost the person and now youâre still looking for this old man to ask about the whereabouts!â Grandpa Gongâs voice was very strong, his beard warping up on both sides.
âGrandpa Gongâ¦â
Gu Xingshen had not yet finished talking when Grandpa Gong hang up the phone. âDonât ask. Even if I know where she is I wonât tell you!â
Grandpa Gong wasnât assured after he finished speaking and angrily pulled out the telephone line.
Gu Xingshen: ââ¦â
Grandpa Gong had said it in such a loud voice that even the four heard what he had said on the phone.
Gu Xingshen hang up his cell phone and immediately hurried out without saying a word.
âBoss, boss. Where are you going?â Shen Letian shouted in the back.
âStop shouting, he must have gone to the old villa.â Leng Touâ¦
âThe old villa? Didnât the old man say she wasnât there?â Shen Letian was puzzled.
âThe tone of the old manâs sentence was simply to not make a move.â Leng Tou explained.
Sheng Yu also nodded and echoed, âI thought about it too. The old man loves Xiao Qiao so much. If he didnât know where Gong Xiaoqiao was, how would he have been able to curse just now!â
â¦
Old Gong Villa
Gong Xiaoqiao was at last full of sleep and went down to help Nanny Lin cook.
Three days back here was her happiest time. Here, she could forget everything and completely relax herself.
If she could, she really didnât want to leave, but she knew that she still had a long way to go, for her and her motherâs dreams, no matter how difficult it was to go on.
