Chapter 1629: Chapter 1629: Deeply Calculated (Part 1)

“This… maybe it’s the gentleman’s intention? Madam, don’t overthink. Maybe in a few days, the gentleman will come back.” Xiaohe said this without much confidence.

Now nobody knows where Zhu Jin and Ye Qilan have gone, and even if they wanted to look for them, they wouldn’t know where to start.

“I’ll first find out which city Xiaoqiao Zhu Jin is in, then send people with you to search for them at Zhu Jin’s home and office.” Su Hongxing mustered her spirits.

She knew it was unlikely that Zhu Jin would take Ye Qilan back to his city, but they had to try.

As she expected, someone went to Zhu Jin’s office, but Zhu Jin did not go home.

Three days passed without any news of Ye Qilan, as if he had vanished from the earth.

She didn’t know what else she could do but wait.

Not only is Su Hongxing anxious, even Fu Yan is very worried.

With each passing day, it got closer to the week Ye Qilan mentioned, yet there was still no news of Ye Qilan.

They didn’t know where Ye Qilan was, how the situation was, nor could they contact Zhu Jin.

Just at this time, there was a problem with a project that Jufeng Group had been contracted for earlier. He needed to manage Lugang Industry and also handle Jufeng Group’s affairs, making it difficult to find time.

When nothing is amiss, it’s fine, but when something goes wrong, he cannot focus on both companies.

Time passed by busily, and as the week came and went with no news of Ye Qilan, Fu Yan’s heart sank halfway.

That day, he went to Qingmu Garden to see Su Hongxing.

Over the week, Su Hongxing couldn’t eat or sleep because of Ye Qilan, becoming haggard and thinner.

Seeing Su Hongxing instantly caused Fu Yan heartache.

Before leaving, Ye Qilan had specifically sought him out, asking him to take good care of Su Hongxing and her two children, but he was too occupied with work to attend to Su Hongxing’s emotions.

“Madam, Fu is here.” Xiaohe gently reminded the dazed Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing snapped out of her daze and turned to Fu Yan: “You’re here? Have a seat.”

Fu Yan sat across from Su Hongxing, hesitating on whether to tell her about Ye Qilan seeking him out that day.

Seeing his hesitation, Su Hongxing said, “Whatever you have to say, just say it directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush. You’re the person Ye Qilan trusts the most, and the one I trust as well.”

“Fourth brother sought me out specifically before he left, advising me on many things. He also said that if he didn’t return within a week, I should take care of both companies and look after the fourth sister-in-law, and also your two children.” Fu Yan told her truthfully.

Su Hongxing was momentarily startled, then smiled slightly: “I should have guessed he wouldn’t leave without leaving any instructions. He might have predicted that once he left, who knows when he would return, right?”

The time set by Ye Qilan had passed, yet he still hadn’t returned, indicating that things weren’t going as smoothly as anticipated.

“I remember particularly well one thing fourth brother said. He said, his life belongs to fourth sister-in-law, only she can take it. He also said, since fourth sister-in-law and the two children are at home, he would return as soon as possible. Fourth brother loves fourth sister-in-law so much, he will definitely come back, and fourth sister-in-law should have faith in him. If fourth brother sees fourth sister-in-law like this when he returns, how heartbroken would he be to see it? He would also blame me for not taking care of fourth sister-in-law.” Fu Yan said in a deep voice.

From Su Hongxing’s haggard appearance, it was clear that she hadn’t been resting well or eating regularly.

“Yes, I should have faith in him.”
