Chapter 928: Chapter 924
Le Zhengsheng stood up, raising his hand, "Well then, I’ll leave it to you... Dr. Cui."
Cui Ruoya smiled, shaking his hand, "Is this all the thanks I get? Although the surgical plan isn’t confirmed yet, shouldn’t you give me something in return?"
"Hmm?" Le Zhengsheng raised an eyebrow, "How would you like me to show my appreciation?"
"Haha." Cui Ruoya laughed heartily, shaking her head, "Just kidding... But Sheng, we haven’t seen each other in years. Shouldn’t you at least treat an old friend to a meal?"
Le Zhengsheng chuckled softly, nodding, "No problem, let’s do it!"
"Thank you." Cui Ruoya smiled, "Wait for me to change clothes."
"Alright."
Le Zhengsheng went out first, standing at the door waiting for Cui Ruoya.
He pulled out his phone, lighting up the screen.
...
The phone’s wallpaper was still his wedding photo with Gu Xiaoning.
She was smiling so brilliantly, and he looked at her... as if she was his entire world!
Le Zhengsheng’s eyes dimmed, murmuring: Ningning.
Suddenly, the screen lit up, and the ringtone sounded.
Le Zhengsheng was startled, hurriedly answering, "Hello?"
The call was from Xiaozheng’s doctor.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Le Zheng?"
Le Zhengsheng nodded, "Yes, I am Le Zhengsheng."
"Mr. Le Zheng, here’s the situation." The doctor said, "Gu Xiaozheng has not come for treatment for a week now, and I haven’t been able to reach his mother, so I’m calling you to see if something has held him up?"
Le Zhengsheng was stunned, he really wasn’t aware of this.
"I understand, I’ll check with my mother-in-law and call you back."
"Alright then."
After hanging up the phone, Le Zhengsheng’s brows furrowed. Why hadn’t Xiaozheng gone for treatment for a week?
Now that he thought about it, he hadn’t contacted Sister Gu in these past few days either.
Since his return, Sister Gu had moved out of the Lezheng Family home because of matters regarding Gu Xiaoning; she really couldn’t stay there anymore.
His father, Le Zhengpeng, was furious with Gu Xiaoning!
However, Le Zhengsheng didn’t pay much heed. First, he was too heartbroken and disappointed, and second, he had arranged living accommodations for Sister Gu. Since Xiaozheng was attending a special school now, to make it convenient for Sister Gu to visit and take care of him often, Le Zhengsheng had specially bought a property near the school and settled her there.
Le Zhengsheng assumed that Sister Gu surely must have gone there.
So... why was Xiaozheng not going for treatment?
Le Zhengsheng looked up Sister Gu’s number and immediately dialed.
... No one answered.
Le Zhengsheng frowned, could something have happened?
Behind him, the door opened, and Cui Ruoya came out dressed. "Sheng, I’m ready... let’s go!"
Le Zhengsheng turned back, "Ruoya, I’m really sorry, I’m afraid I can’t go to dinner with you... I have something to deal with."
"Hmm?" Cui Ruoya was taken aback, unable to hide her disappointment, "What’s the matter? We’re almost at mealtime, can’t you take care of it after eating..."
"It’s a bit urgent." Le Zhengsheng said as he walked out, "In that case, I’ll contact you another time!"
"Hey!" Cui Ruoya, unwilling to give up, chased after him, "Wait for me!"
She had finally gotten close to him again, and this time, Yu Sangwan wasn’t by his side... she couldn’t miss this chance again!
Le Zhengsheng arrived at the garage and opened the car door. Cui Ruoya followed and sat in the passenger seat.
"Ruoya." Le Zhengsheng frowned, "I’m not joking, I really don’t have time..."
"I know." Cui Ruoya fastened her seatbelt, lifting her chin, "You drive! Do what you need to do, and I’ll wait for you to finish before we eat... In any case, you’re not getting away from this meal today!"
Le Zhengsheng was speechless, shaking his head helplessly, "Fine, if you want to tag along, then come along! But don’t blame me if you get bored!"
"Okay." Cui Ruoya raised her brows, secretly pleased... At least, she hadn’t been left behind.
Le Zhengsheng drove to Sister Gu’s residence...
He entered the code and went in.
The house was already dusty... clearly, no one had been living there for some time.
Le Zhengsheng walked into the living room, found the phone book, and contacted the housekeeper who cleaned there, "Hello, it’s me, Le Zhengsheng, why haven’t you been working here?"
The person on the other end was stunned for a moment before responding, "Mr. Le Zheng, it was your mother-in-law who told me... she said not to come anymore, that the house is unoccupied now..."
Unoccupied...
Le Zhengsheng’s heart sank, a bad feeling arose!
Without another word, he grabbed his keys and rushed downstairs.
"Sheng!" Cui Ruoya anxiously followed him around.
This time, they arrived at Xiaozheng’s school.
Xiaozheng’s teacher was quite surprised to see Le Zhengsheng, "Mr. Le Zheng, why are you here? Is there something wrong with the withdrawal process?"
Withdrawal?
Le Zhengsheng, in that moment, received too much information!
His brows furrowed, "What happened?"
"You don’t know?" The teacher was surprised, "Didn’t your mother-in-law tell you? Gu Xiaozheng has withdrawn from school! We thought you found him a better one, so we didn’t dare ask more."
Le Zhengsheng closed his eyes and massaged his forehead, such a thing had actually happened!
What kind of son-in-law was he? His mother-in-law and brother-in-law were missing, and he didn’t even know!
"Thank you."
Le Zhengsheng thanked her and hurriedly left.
He walked while phoning, "Hello, it’s me... Find me two people, my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law!"
Cui Ruoya trailed behind him, hearing this, she looked up at him in shock... Sheng was looking for his mother-in-law and brother-in-law?
But wasn’t he divorced?
Moreover, it was that woman who wronged Sheng, so why... would Sheng still care so much about her mother and brother?
Suddenly, Cui Ruoya felt a twinge of panic.
In the car, Le Zhengsheng’s brow stayed furrowed, "Ruoya, I’ll take you home! I really don’t have the mood to dine with you today; it might affect your mood... How about this? Let’s arrange it another day, I’ll set a date."
Cui Ruoya’s heart ached, but she nodded, "Okay."
Thus, Le Zhengsheng drove Cui Ruoya back home.
After getting out of the car, Cui Ruoya invited him, "Won’t you come in for a while?"
"No." Le Zhengsheng shook his head, how could he be in the mood?
"Well... goodbye then." Cui Ruoya waved, her smile awkward.
"Hmm."
Le Zhengsheng gave a slight nod, then started the car, turning and driving away!
Cui Ruoya held her smile, slowly tightening her fist, memorizing a name in her heart... Gu, Xiaoning!
Le Zhengsheng put on his earpiece, starting to dial Gu Xiaoning’s number. That girl, did she know? She ran off to F City without a second thought for a man, and now she even ignored her mother and brother?
When the call connected, Le Zhengsheng was actually quite tense; he hadn’t heard Gu Xiaoning’s voice in a long time!
"Hello?" But inside, it was Su Hang’s voice, "This is Gu Xiaoning’s phone, she’s not here right now..."
Le Zhengsheng’s expression went rigid, and he yanked out the earpiece, tossing it aside!
... Gu Xiaoning, I really just walked into your trap!
