After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

At this moment, Li Haokai only wanted to know if Lu Shuyao was there, and didn't want to say anything else, so as not to let Lu Shiyi and his wife get involved.

So I said, "It's nothing. My mom and I had a little argument around noon, and then she ran out without her phone. That's why I couldn't reach her. I was just wondering if she had it with you."

Lu Shiyi frowned even more. "She was just discharged from the hospital. It's one thing for you not to pick her up, but why are you arguing with her?"

Li Haokai was annoyed by these words. It was clearly her own sister's fault, so why was she blaming him instead?

Her home is only a ten-minute walk from the hospital. How fussy must her sister be to insist that someone pick her up?

However, judging from what Lu Shiyi said, Lu Shuyao shouldn't be with her. He confirmed, "Yaoyao isn't with you?"

"No."

Thinking that his younger sister was still very weak, Lu Shiyi began to worry.

She asked, "How long has Yao Yao been gone? Have you gone out to look for her? Have you looked in the nearby shopping malls? She doesn't usually socialize much, so she probably hasn't gone too far."

When Li Haokai heard Lu Shiyi say no, he lost the desire to continue and simply said, "I'll look again."

Just hung up the phone.

After finishing the call, Lu Shiyi felt increasingly uneasy.

Given Yao Yao's personality, she rarely initiates conflicts with others. Even if they exchange a few words, she won't run away and disappear.

Besides, she had seen Yao Yao's mother-in-law's true colors before, so she figured things weren't that simple.

Thinking of this, she turned back and said to the customer on the sofa, "Excuse me, I have something urgent to attend to. I've already given a brief overview of our study room. You can take this brochure with you. If you find it suitable, please feel free to contact me anytime."

After seeing the customers off, she made some arrangements for the study room and then drove off.

In Nanshi, her younger sister didn't have many friends, especially after she got pregnant and married, so she really couldn't imagine where Yaoyao would go.

But one thing is certain: Yao Yao should still be near her home. She didn't bring her phone and definitely didn't have any cash on her, so she couldn't have gone too far.

So she drove directly to her sister's neighborhood.

On the way, thinking about what Yao Yao had recently experienced, she began to worry more and more.

Although Yao Yao said she had figured things out when she was discharged from the hospital and no longer cared whether the family treated her well or not, people are complex emotional beings. How can one say that they don't care and then truly be able to live a carefree and unrestrained life?

If that were true, there wouldn't be so many people suffering from depression or committing suicide.

Suicide?

When those two words flashed through Lu Shiyi's mind, her head buzzed, and she could no longer remain calm.

Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Realizing she was still driving, she turned on her turn signal and forced herself to pull over to the side of the road.

In the car, Lu Shiyi gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, closed her eyes, and tried her best to stay rational. She had to find her sister as soon as possible.

A few minutes later, she restarted her car and merged into the traffic.

As Lu Shiyi approached his sister's neighborhood, he slowed down, glancing out the window every now and then, hoping to spot his sister.

However, more than an hour passed and she found nothing. She even stopped the car and went to every shopping mall, supermarket, shopping plaza, and even the library that she had visited with her sister before, but she still couldn't find it.

During this time, she called Li Haokai several times, but the reply she received was always that he hadn't come home.

Soon, another hour passed. Lu Shiyi returned to the car, exhausted, but she dared not slack off in the slightest.

She leaned on the steering wheel, deep in thought. There must be other ways. She had to stay rational and not lose her composure.

Just then, the phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Fu Cheng.

When the call connected, she answered with a tired voice.

Fu Cheng on the other end immediately sensed something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"

The man's deep, concerned voice on the phone gave Lu Shiyi a sense of reliance, and her voice was hoarse:

"Mr. Fu, Yao Yao is missing. It's been more than five hours since noon. She was just discharged from the hospital and is still very weak. She didn't take her phone with her, and I've searched the neighborhood all over but can't find her..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng's voice was calm and reassuring, "Send me your address, I'll be there right now."

He had originally planned to play golf with Zeng Ruijie in the afternoon, but Zeng Ruijie ran into some trouble, which gave him some free time. He thought he'd check on his wife in her study room, so he made the call, but he never expected...

Hearing that her husband was coming, Lu Shiyi asked with some concern, "Won't this affect your work?"

She had searched the entire neighborhood, and even if her husband came, he would most likely return empty-handed.

“I happen to have time this afternoon, so it won’t affect anything. Besides, Yao Yao is your sister, which means she’s my sister too. Family always comes first to me. I don’t even worry about work, so you don’t need to worry about it either.”

After a moment of silence, Lu Shiyi sent his address.

Meanwhile, the hospital.

After receiving several IV drips, Lu Shuyao finally woke up.

The doctor's previous examination concluded that my blood count was a bit low, I was a little anemic, and my body was too weak, which caused me to faint. Basically, there was nothing serious. After the IV drip, I should go home and rest well, and eat more blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying foods.

When Lu Shuyao woke up and opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Zeng Ruijie sitting not far away.

She thought he looked familiar, but couldn't quite place him.

Zeng Ruijie had stayed until now because the woman hadn't woken up and there were no family members around. When he saw her finally open her eyes, he immediately stood up.

"Now that you're awake, hurry up and contact your family to come over. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Lu Shuyao was a little confused. "Who are you?"

Zeng Ruijie rubbed his forehead. "The one who almost hit you was also the one whose car you blocked."

Lu Shuyao then remembered that she was indeed in front of a black car before she fainted. The driver even got out of the car and scolded her. She wanted to move her foot away, but as soon as she lifted her foot, she fainted.

Upon realizing that the person in front of her was the driver, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was indeed a little dizzy at the time, I didn't mean to block your car."

"I see it."

After Zeng Ruijie finished speaking, he turned to leave. If he had enough time, he could still make it to his dinner appointment with Fu Cheng. After all, he had been eyeing the fine wines that Fu Cheng had collected in his villa for a long time.

But soon, Lu Shuyao stopped him.

"You helped me pay for my medical expenses, right? Could you leave your contact information? I'll transfer the money to you when I get home."

Zeng Ruijie didn't want any trouble, and he didn't care about the money, but Lu Shuyao was more insistent.

Having no other choice, he turned back and left his name and contact information.

However, when he turned to leave again, the woman called him back.

"Um, I don't have my phone with me. Can I borrow yours to make a call to my family?"

Zeng Ruijie: "..."

He wanted to refuse, but it seemed like he was the one who had just told her to contact her family...
