At the words, Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and thought to himself, "As she had guessed, it indeed had something to do with Song Yingjie."
After all, Wang Xiaofang had left home the day after finding out about Song Yingjie’s "affair."
Mrs. Wang continued, "Initially, Xiao Fang was reluctant, but after we adults talked it over, they started seeing each other and she began to take it to heart."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang’s tone began to turn angry, "Then that Song family child actually brought someone back! He said he found them in Beijing!"
Even from the other end of the phone, Xia Chuyi could sense how furious Mrs. Wang was.
In this era, society truly isn’t kind to women; just breaking up with someone can lead to criticism of the woman.
Let alone being dumped!
"Later, I took the child to confront the Song family," Mrs. Wang continued. "And they had the nerve to say that it was our child who clung to theirs from the start!"
This statement made Mrs. Wang even more irate.
After a long pause, Mrs. Wang managed to suppress her anger somewhat and said sadly, "Xiao Fang has been protected by her parents from a young age, seen very little adversity."
"The incident with the Song family child was a huge blow to her."
"Not long after she returned, she might have struggled to cope and left home."
Mrs. Wang’s series of words seemed to contain faint sobs.
"The family was extremely worried, and despite all the searching, couldn’t find her," Mrs. Wang went on. "Later, we looked through her room and found a letter she had left in a corner."
"In the letter, she said she was going to Ling County to find you and clear her mind."
Mrs. Wang said, "In any case, Xia Chuyi, I’m asking you to please help us find her, and if you do, please persuade her."
"It’s not worth being upset over someone like that from the Song Family!"
On the other end of the phone, Xia Chuyi nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie, I will. I’ll head to the bus station now to see if she’s there."
After hanging up the phone, those around him nearly grasped what had happened.
"Your friend is missing?" asked Aunt Xia.
Xia Chuyi responded, "It’s not necessarily that she’s missing; perhaps she missed a bus or something and is just late."
"Moreover, we can’t be certain which bus or train she took."
After explaining the situation, Xia Chuyi added, "Uncle, Aunt, I’m going to look for her now."
Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia nodded, and Aunt Xia spoke on their behalf, "Go ahead, and when you find her, come back safely."
After speaking with Xia Chuyi, Aunt Xia called out to Zhao Xiaogui, "Xiao Gui, go, go with her to find the person!"
"Take good care of your sister; if she’s missing even a strand of hair, I’ll hold you responsible!"
Aunt Xia, her mood tensing as usual, joked with her son.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaogui didn’t mind and replied, "Alright, I know!"
Xia Chuyi: ...Why is this kid even more eager than her?
But she didn’t dwell on it much, and the two promptly went to the bus station.
They were informed that all buses for the day had already arrived and there would be no more new buses.
After looking around the bus station to ensure no one was left behind, Xia Chuyi made a quick decision, took Zhao Xiaogui, and headed to the train station.
