Chapter 255: Chapter 255: No Answer

The truck in front of Xie Yanchuan had already created some distance, and if he pressed the accelerator, he might be able to dodge the incoming truck!

However, next to Xie Yanchuan, in the same lane, was a school bus fully loaded with students.

The lane was jammed, and it was impossible to change lanes in such a short time.

If Xie Yanchuan had pressed the accelerator, then it should have been the school bus that was hit!

In a split second, whether for Xu Jinzhi or his own conscience, Xie Yanchuan knew he could not dodge!

Even though he knew that by not dodging, the school bus would still be affected, at least he could provide a buffer and possibly reduce the casualties of the school bus.

At the moment the truck collided, there was a massive feeling of impact, but because it happened so suddenly, Xie Yanchuan actually felt nothing.

In his daze, Xie Yanchuan even felt a sense of relief because if he died, Xu Jinzhi could live well.

In the villa.

Xu Zhen was holding Sui Sui and laughing as he watched Sui Sui giggle, and Xu Jinzhi, watching by the side, almost couldn’t bear it!

“Where is Xie Yanchuan now?” Xu Zhen asked casually.

“He should be arriving soon,” Xu Jinzhi said.

Xu Jinzhi glanced at her phone again. Xie Yanchuan hadn’t replied to her message, he must be on his way back.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t send any further messages to avoid disturbing him, as it was common for traffic to be bad.

A while later, Xu Jinzhi reached out to grab a glass of water, but she was somewhat careless as she was still looking at her phone.

Until a “bang” was heard, the glass was shattered on the floor.

Xu Jinzhi’s heart trembled fiercely and, looking down, she saw the broken glass. For some reason, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, making Xu Jinzhi feel extremely uncomfortable.

The sudden discomfort made Xu Jinzhi involuntarily frown.

“Don’t move carelessly!” Seeing Xu Jinzhi staring blankly at the shattered glass, Xu Zhen quickly spoke out to prevent her from impulsively picking it up.

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Jinzhi subconsciously turned her head to look at Xu Zhen, but she still appeared somewhat dazed.

The servant quickly came over, seeing the shattered glass on the floor, and said, “I’ll clean this up.”

Xu Jinzhi didn’t speak, but her unease grew stronger. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something had happened.

Something had happened?

What could it be?

Not until Tuantuan said nearby, “Daddy’s glass is broken.”

Only then did Xu Jinzhi suddenly snap back to reality. She looked at Tuantuan and then at the glass on the floor, yes, that was Xie Yanchuan’s glass, not hers!

She and Xie Yanchuan had always used each other’s glasses interchangeably. After all, they were a married couple; sharing glasses was no big deal.

Xie Yanchuan’s glass was broken…

Xie Yanchuan’s glass was broken…

Xu Jinzhi suddenly remembered, that day at the pottery studio, the clerk had said most people come to the pottery studio to make glasses, firstly because it’s easier for beginners, and secondly because of a pun involving glasses.

A cup equals a lifetime.

Thus, between friends, between lovers, there’s always a fondness for giving cups.

Knowing they were a married couple, the clerk said, may they also be happy for a lifetime.

Xu Jinzhi thought of Xie Yanchuan and suddenly panicked.

Although the heating was on in the villa, Xu Jinzhi felt as if she were freezing, she couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably.

Xu Jinzhi bit her teeth hard, took a deep breath, and tried to stay calm. She picked up her phone to call Xie Yanchuan, but her hand was also trembling uncontrollably.

The phone, which had no issues at all, couldn’t be slid due to the cold sweat on Xu Jinzhi’s fingertips, failing several times.

But Xu Jinzhi still tried to calm herself, she found Xie Yanchuan’s number and dialed it.

Holding the phone to her ear with trembling hands, Xu Jinzhi paid no mind to that, listening to the ringtone, waiting for Xie Yanchuan to answer.

She hoped the call would be answered by Xie Yanchuan as usual and he would tell her that he was almost home.

But the call wasn’t answered, and it hung up automatically! No one answered the call!

Xu Jinzhi’s body continued to shake, and even a strange noise emerged from her throat. She picked up her phone and dialed again.

Xu Jinzhi’s unusual behavior caught Xu Zhen’s eye, and Xu Zhen couldn’t help but frown, showing a serious expression.

“What happened?” Xu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

But Xu Jinzhi wasn’t in a state to mind Xu Zhen; her entire focus was on her phone, constantly praying for Xie Yanchuan to answer the phone.

Still, there was no answer.

Xu Zhen, who had been holding Sui Sui, had already called a servant to take Sui Sui away.

“What on earth is wrong, Xu Jinzhi?” Xu Zhen walked over and grabbed Xu Jinzhi’s hand, looking at her with worried eyes.

Xu Jinzhi looked at Xu Zhen, and tears streamed down her face. She cried like a child deeply wronged, complaining to Xu Zhen, “Xie, Xie Yanchuan he, he won’t answer his phone.”

Xu Zhen didn’t believe it was just a matter of Xie Yanchuan not answering the phone; otherwise, Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t be reacting like this.

Xu Zhen comforted Xu Jinzhi gently, “It’s okay, don’t worry, I’ll call him.”

While saying this, Xu Zhen had already taken his phone and started calling Xie Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi stared at Xu Zhen, hoping that the call Xu Zhen made would be answered.

However, disappointment was inevitable for Xu Jinzhi, as Xu Zhen’s call also went unanswered, and he looked at Xu Jinzhi with a complex expression.

“Jinzhi, what exactly happened?” Xu Zhen continued asking Xu Jinzhi, wanting to know more from her.

But Xu Jinzhi didn’t know how to explain; she just felt Xie Yanchuan was in trouble, and him not answering her calls only confirmed her thoughts.

“I have to find Xie Yanchuan!” Xu Jinzhi said as she pushed Xu Zhen aside and ran straight out of the villa.

Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, but quickly chased after her, “Jinzhi!”

Watching as Xu Jinzhi ran out of the villa without even putting on a coat or changing her shoes, Xu Zhen had no choice but to quicken his pace to catch up with her.

“Jinzhi!” Xu Zhen called out in a deep voice.

“Dad, please, can you take me to find Xie Yanchuan!” Xu Jinzhi cried out.
