She wasn’t so eager to leave, nor was she unwilling to wait for him—she still had a touch of fondness for him, didn’t she?
As long as there was a slight touch, even just a touch, he would not give up, he had to find Chuxia, he had to find out what was really in her heart.
Shi Che’s hand gripped his phone tightly, he steadied himself, and his thin lips parted lightly, "Xiao Zhao, go to Ji Xinxin’s apartment and see if Chuxia is there."
Since Ling Chuxia’s phone was unreachable, and Ji Xinxin had blocked him, he had to send Xiao Zhao on this mission.
"Yes, President Shi," Xiao Zhao responded briskly.
Xiao Zhao left the villa and rushed straight to Ji Xinxin’s apartment.
Meanwhile, Ji Xinxin was also anxiously scratching her ears, as Ling Chuxia had just left a letter and disappeared without a trace; her phone was also unreachable. Although the letter stated that she was going to seek a new life, how could Ji Xinxin believe that?
After all, besides the Shi Family, Ling Chuxia had nowhere else to go. Whenever something happened, the only person she could turn to was Ji Xinxin, so how could she start a new life?
Could it be... she had some desperate thoughts?
Ji Xinxin was so scared that she sprang out of bed, threw on some clothes without bothering with makeup, put on a hat and sunglasses, grabbed her car keys and wallet, and quickly headed towards the door, intending to go out and find Ling Chuxia.
But as soon as she opened the door, Xiao Zhao was heading her way.
Ji Xinxin recognized this man, who was always accompanying Shi Che as his assistant. Right now, Ji Xinxin was furious with Shi Che, and seeing his associate added fuel to the fire. She slammed the door with force, walked past with her head held high, chest out, and eyes straight ahead, ignoring Xiao Zhao as if he were invisible, just walking past him.
When Xiao Zhao saw Ji Xinxin, he smiled at her and was about to greet her, but Ji Xinxin walked right past him, making his smile turn awkward. However, he was quick on his feet, stepped in front of Ji Xinxin, lifted a face of respectful cheer, and said, "Miss Ji Xinxin, I am President Shi’s assistant, Xiao Zhao. I came today to ask if our Young Madam is here. If so, could you please let me speak with her?"
Initially, Ji Xinxin did not want to entertain him, but upon hearing his words, she stopped, crossed her arms, and coldly glanced at Xiao Zhao. Though Xiao Zhao was taller than her, the aura she emitted seemed to look down on him. She sneered scornfully with endless mockery, "Oh, your President Shi is sending someone to look for Xiaxia? Wasn’t she treated as nothing? What’s the use in searching! Besides, Xiaxia and that scoundrel are already divorced, there’s no relationship left, stop referring to her as Young Madam! Who are you trying to impress!"
Ji Xinxin’s words were blunt and came crashing down on Xiao Zhao, making him retreat several steps, nearly unable to stand his ground. Yet, for the sake of his boss, Shi Shi, he managed to stabilize himself, swallowed hard, and looked at Ji Xinxin tentatively, weakly retorting, "Miss Xinxin, President Shi... hasn’t divorced the Young Madam."
Xiao Zhao’s soft voice came through, and Ji Xinxin couldn’t hear it clearly at first, "What are you saying? Louder! Are you even a man?"
Xiao Zhao was startled for a moment, then shouted loudly, "President Shi and the Young Madam have not divorced; President Shi did not sign the papers!"
