Chapter 414: A Dream (13)
Dragging the suitcase, Qiao Mo took a last look at the room, her nose tingling with a hint of sadness.In the end, she felt no more reluctance. She turned around, dragging her suitcase as she left.
Perhaps she shouldn’t have had any more interactions with him ever since she woke up in the hospital, but unfortunately, she became infatuated with his embrace, sinking deeper and deeper.
Now, her wounds were almost healed. It was time to awaken from the dream.
...
At four-thirty in the evening, Fu Nancheng promptly called Qiao Mo.
The car was already on the road to her school, and it would only take about ten minutes to get there.
As soon as the call connected, a mechanical female voice came through: "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later."
His brows furrowed slightly, he looked at the phone and hung up.
After dialing again, the result was still the same.
He tossed the phone onto the seat next to him, closed the documents in his hand, and lost the mood to read, turning to look out the window.
How could it be off?
Could it be out of battery...
Not being able to reach her made him inexplicably irritated, and he glanced at the driver and said, "Drive faster."
"Yes, sir."
About ten minutes later, the car was parked downstairs at Qiao Mo’s dormitory.
Fu Nancheng called her again, but it was still off. A hint of chaos flashed in his eyes.
After waiting downstairs for about ten minutes without seeing her, he finally couldn’t help getting out of the car.
A pair of spotless leather shoes touched the ground first, followed by a pair of impeccably straight trousers. Fu Nancheng stood in front of the dormitory building, drawing the eyes of the passing girls, who whispered among themselves.
He checked his watch, four forty-five.
Worried she might have met with an accident, he hesitated no longer and headed towards the dormitory building.
Coincidentally, Yu Qianxun walked out of the dormitory building and was startled upon seeing Fu Nancheng.
Seeing that his gaze wasn’t even on her, she hesitated before proactively saying, "Are you... are you Mr. Fu?"
Fu Nancheng’s brow furrowed slightly, his gaze very cold.
His eyes fell on the petite woman in front of him, recalling she seemed to be Qiao Mo’s friend.
"I’m Yu Qianxun, Qiao Mo’s roommate," Yu Qianxun introduced herself.
"Where’s Qiao Mo?" he asked directly.
"Qiao Mo? Qiao Mo left after a trip to the library this morning, she hasn’t been at school."
"Where did she go?"
"I’m not quite sure where exactly, but I think it’s a fashion show. Apparently, there’s a piece of her work there, so she went to take a look."
"Thank you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nancheng turned to leave, simultaneously calling Uncle Zhong, planning to have him send someone to check on Qiao Mo’s whereabouts.
Yu Qianxun stood behind Fu Nancheng, watching his back, unsure of what she was thinking until the car disappeared from her view and the smile on her face gradually faded.
After getting in the car, after Fu Nancheng made the call to Uncle Zhong.
The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror, hesitating before softly asking, "Mr. Fu, did you not get to see Miss Qiao?"
"Yes." Fu Nancheng’s face looked very displeased.
He was worried that his aunt might have done something to her again.
But after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.
After all, Qiao Mo was not involved in the matter with Yun’er, and he had been investigating for so long, Fu Qingrou wouldn’t be unaware.
Moreover, Qingxue had declared last time that if Fu Qingrou took action against Qiao Mo again, she would sever their mother-daughter relationship.
But if it wasn’t Fu Qingrou, then who was it? Could it be Lu Xiuyuan...
