Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Jiang Chengren’s Panic
Jiang Jingze stared at Yue Qingqing with a troubled look.
She was clearly younger than himself, yet where did this eerie sense of familiarity come from?
Could I have met this little sister before?
Yue Qingqing also furrowed her brows, unsure of what to do.
She surely couldn’t tell him directly that he was on the brink of death.
Although he was just a kid, there were always adults around him, and if anything was discovered, she would be the one in trouble.
But to watch someone march towards their death without doing anything was something Yue Qingqing couldn’t bear.
The two children stared each other down, their looks drawing the attention of many people, with several adults looking over and murmuring in amazement.
Yue Jiandong, however, felt extremely uncomfortable and hurriedly took his daughter’s hand and bid the manager farewell.
Jiang Jingze silently nodded at Yue Qingqing as a way of saying goodbye.
Yue Qingqing turned back every three steps, causing Yue Jiannan to tease her involuntarily.
“Qingqing, stop looking, or your eyeballs will fall out.”
Jiang Jingze withdrew his gaze as the driver rushed over, “Young Master, are we going home now?”
Jiang Jingze hummed an affirmation, preparing to climb onto the truck.
The fortune-teller’s prophecy hadn’t come true at all, it seemed the other party was indeed a fraud.
One without professional ethics at that, not even arranging a shill.
Just as he stood on the chair ready to climb onto the vehicle, Yue Qingqing finally made up her mind and broke free from her father’s grasp.
Her little legs scurried towards him.
Jiang Jingze halted his actions, momentarily pleased.
“You… don’t go up there,” Yue Qingqing pointed at the imposing vehicle.
Jiang Jingze was puzzled, “Why not?”
Yue Qingqing tried to act clueless, “It’s too high, dangerous.”
The childish words amused the observers, Zheng Tianbo found the girl quite entertaining.
Not many Jiefang trucks were available throughout the country, only his boss had the clout to buy one.
What danger? This was clearly a symbol of status and power.
Jiang Jingze shook his head, “It’s not dangerous, do you want to try?”
Yue Qingqing shook her head like a rattle-drum, having the chance to live again, she didn’t want to seek her own demise.
Yue Jiandong finally snapped to his senses and quickly came over to take his daughter’s hand, “Qingqing!”
This girl was just too out of character today.
Yue Qingqing was dragged away by her father, but she didn’t forget to turn back and warn Jiang Jingze.
Jiang Jingze watched as the little girl disappeared from sight, his lips curving up involuntarily.
“Young Master?” the driver asked, bewildered by Jiang Jingze’s reaction.
“You go back first,” Jiang Jingze waved his hand, signaling the driver to take the car back first.
The manager became anxious, “That’s not a good idea.”
He was well aware of the young master’s unusual condition and had thus been very careful in every aspect.
Now that the young master wasn’t planning on going home and wanted to stay in the restaurant, whose responsibility would it be if something happened mid-way?
He could only suggest subtly, “The boss will surely be worried.”
Jiang Chengren was well-known for his deep love for his son, he would be anxious if he didn’t see Jiang Jingze for half a day.
But he could understand, as anyone with such an unfortunate son would hardly have peace of mind.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Jingze turned and walked back into the restaurant.
“You call him and tell him I’m waiting for someone.”
Perhaps the person the old fortune-teller mentioned might still show up?
Four Seas Restaurant, being the highest-end establishment in town, had installed an automatic telephone from the very beginning.
Apart from facilitating reservations for valued customers, its primary use was to report on the young master’s whereabouts.
Zheng Tianbo, resigned, went to make the call unwillingly.
However, that afternoon, Jiang Chengren unexpectedly rushed to the restaurant in person.
He looked utterly shaken as he arrived at the entrance, “Where is Jingze? Where is my son?”
Zheng Tianbo had never seen his boss , and was stunned into a stammer, “He’s… upstairs.”
Jiang Chengren breathed a sigh of relief and bolted for the upstairs.
Zheng Tianbo watched his retreating figure, though it was nearly winter, the boss’s back was drenched in sweat.
