Chapter 119: Distraught

Chapter 119: Distraught

Yu Yuanxi clearly read the disappointment that alighted in the girl’s eyes, leaving him to wonder what she was expecting from the other side of the wall.

Since it was late, Gao Meng and Yu Yuanxi said their goodbyes.

Yun Jinping was cheerful and had never been this happy ever since her son went missing. She walked Yu Yuanxi and Gao Meng to the door. “Lil Yu, Mengmeng, come by the house often to chat with me.”

“Sure, Auntie.” Gao Meng was on cloud nine with things having gone beyond her expectations. She replied with a grin, “I will put on a thick skin and come over even if you don’t welcome me. Just don’t think of me as a bother.”

She was under the impression that Lil Chairman Shen’s mom would be as aloof and unapproachable as Lil Chairman Shen since the latter was aggressive and indifferently dignified. It never occurred to Gao Meng that Auntie would be so approachable and hospitable. It was just her cup of tea.

Yu Yuanxi smiled softly at her. “Auntie, you should go in. We shall get going.”

“Lil Yu…” Yun Jinping cried, seemingly had something on her mind but held her tongue in the end. Instead, she encouraged them with a smile. “It’s snowing. Please be careful on the road.”

Yu Yuanxi wanted to enquire further since Yun Jinping appeared to want to say something but, owing to his own character, he would not probe if the person did not want to say.

Shen Xi waved at them. “Good bye.”

Gao Meng and Yu Yuanxi took off.

Shen Xi held her mom’s hand as they walked into the house.

Yun Jinping hesitated for a while before finally opening up. “Xixi, I heard that Lil Yu and his granny live semi-underground. His granny can’t be living in that sort of place at her age and now that she’s still feeling frail, having been discharged from the hospital.”

Shen Xi picked up on her intention. “What are you thinking, Mom?”

Yun Jinping sighed and answered, “I was thinking. We live in a big house so it’s not a bad idea for his granny to move in. Lil Yu’s only a young boy yet he has to juggle between school and shooting. How can he possibly have the time to take care of her?”

Shen Xi shook her head. “Mom, Yu Yuanxi won’t agree to it. You know him, he won’t want to trouble others. I’ll try and come up with a way and get my brother to rent a nicer house to him.”

This was thoughtful on her part. Yu Yuanxi was living in a semi-basement which was dark and damp. It would not be warm enough even with heating. It was best to house him elsewhere!

“That’s a good idea.” Yun Jinping’s heart went out to Yu Yuanxi.

This poor boy only had his granny left. God knew how difficult life has been for him since birth yet he remained positive, sweet, and considerate. He really had it tough.

Nevertheless, Xixi was right. Having him live in their house when they were not related was not the way to go.

Shen Xi told Yun Jinping to head home while she turned to climb up the ladder. She gave Kun Lun a call to check up on them but it turned out that Kun Lun’s phone was switched off.

Gazing at the empty courtyard, many horrible scenarios flooded into Shen Xi’s mind.

Where was he?

Was he feeling ill?

Did something urgent happen?

She had no courage to ask for Li Yuan’s contact details nor did she have the guts to bother him. Hence, Shen Xi asked for Kun Lun’s number. This was the first time she was giving Kun Lun a call.

The sky was turning dusk.

It was snowing heavier by the minute.

Popping out with an umbrella, Yun Jinping looked at her darling daughter-turned-snowman. “What are you doing? Make haste home. It’s a heavy snowfall.”

With a bad case of butterflies in her stomach, Shen Xi distraughtly climbed down the ladder and went home.

Yun Jinping emerged from the kitchen and turned to her daughter who was knitting a scarf on the sofa. Seeing that her daughter’s mind was elsewhere, Yun Jinping gave a reminder. “Xixi, watch the needle.”

She had just said that.

In one false move, Shen Xi pricked herself in the finger. She gasped in pain as blood oozed from the wound.

Feeling for her, Yun Jinping ran over and inspected her bleeding finger. “What’s going on with you? What’s on your mind?”

Meanwhile, in Fu Qingxi’s Medical Lab across the Pacific Ocean.

Fu Qingxi’s Medical Lab was the best medical laboratory in the world as well as a private asset of the Fu family. Named after the Fu family’s youngest daughter, the laboratory gathered the world’s greatest medical experts.

During a major medical academic forum, every leading medical expert from all around the world was caught dumbfounded.

Professor Fu Qingxuan stopped amid his presentation and stared intently at his fingertip. Following a quick flip of his facial expression from excitement to ecstasy, he dashed out of the room like he had lost his marbles.
