Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120: Twitching Eyelids
Old Master Meng was very happy to see his great-grandson and great-granddaughter.
Mo Xiaolin quietly pulled Meng Jin aside and asked, "Wasn’t it said that Si Yu didn’t have to go on missions for a while? Why did he suddenly leave?"
Tang Yue went abroad, and now things at the company have stabilized with Meng Siyu. Even when he goes on business trips, he always prepares in advance. Why this time, so suddenly?
It’s not even the weekend yet, why are Zaozao and Chenchen sent here?
"It’s not a business trip." Meng Jin glanced at the two kids in the living room and said in a low voice, "It’s because something happened to Tang Jun."
"Tang Jun?"
Mo Xiaolin could not help but exclaim.
"Grandma, did Uncle come?" Chenchen heard the name ’Tang Jun’ and thought Uncle had come. He looked around but saw nothing.
"No, I told you and your grandma that your uncle is at the company, and your dad went to find him." Meng Jin explained with a smile.
Chenchen nodded and continued watching the cartoon, while Zaozao was deep in thought. Why didn’t Dad tell them he went to find Uncle?
Yet, Zaozao was too young to think deeply, assuming there was something only the adults were dealing with.
"Tang Jun, what happened to Tang Jun?" Mo Xiaolin unintentionally lowered her voice.
Meng Jin briefly explained the situation. Mo Xiaolin frowned and said, "How could such a thing happen?"
"Si Yu already rushed over. The details aren’t clear, but..." Meng Jin left the sentence unfinished, but the implication was clear.
"No, I’ve met Xiao Jun; he’s a good kid. He’ll be fine," Mo Xiaolin said, trying to quell her panic. "Have you informed the in-laws?"
"Not yet," Meng Jin shook his head.
Just as Mo Xiaolin was about to say something, Meng Jin interjected, "I told you first so you could prepare, just in case... just in case something really happens to that child..."
"No way." Mo Xiaolin refused to believe it. She said, "Si Yu already went there; he will definitely bring him back."
After speaking, Mo Xiaolin wouldn’t listen to Meng Jin anymore. Watching her anxious retreat, Meng Jin sighed deeply. If even Xiaolin couldn’t accept this fact, what about the in-laws?
And what about Xiao Yue? How would they accept it?
Meng Jin had no choice but to brace for the worst.
Mo Xiaolin was anxious, and far away in F Country, Tang Yue was also worried.
Tang Yue hadn’t been able to sleep the night before because of today’s fashion show, but for some unknown reason, she felt anxious with her eyelids constantly twitching. By 6 AM, Tang Yue was already sitting by the window, looking at the scenery. But no matter if she was looking at the view or reading a book, she couldn’t calm down.
The fashion show was starting today. The rehearsal was already completely handled at the villa by Tang Yue, the models were briefed, and every accessory and pair of shoes for each outfit was ready and organized.
This afternoon would be the rehearsal, and in the evening, the official open fashion show would start. Their exhibition hall wasn’t in the center or the best spot, but with Lucy there, their location wasn’t too remote either.
Even while setting up the scene and confirming the music, Tang Yue still felt uneasy.
Looking at the time, Tang Yue decided to call home.
This timing meant it was probably evening in Huaxia.
Seemed like Zaozao and Chenchen might not be asleep yet. She called Meng Siyu, and it rang for a long time.
Meng Siyu was rushing to the mountain where Tang Jun had the accident when he unexpectedly heard the phone ringing. Seeing it was Tang Yue calling, he took a deep breath to calm himself, had the car pull over, and answered the call. "Wife, today is the start of your fashion show. How come you have time to call me?"
"Why, can’t I call you? It’s just starting; it hasn’t started yet." Tang Yue listened to his usual tone and asked, "Where’s Zaozao and Chenchen? Are they asleep?"
"I thought you’d be busy today, so I had them go to bed early." Meng Siyu said, "Wifey, I miss you."
Everyone in the car: "..."
Zhao Xiangqian was used to Meng Siyu’s public displays of affection, but others weren’t aware.
Usually at the company, he was the Cold-faced Yama. Who knew privately he’d scatter dog food like this when talking to his wife...
Meng Siyu cast a sidelong glance at the inquisitive ones up front, immediately silencing them. They lowered their heads quietly.
All they could think of was how even the Cold-faced Yama could have such a tender side, and his eyes seemed to glow.
The car resonated with the sound of Meng Siyu teasing his wife.
Meng Siyu ended the call, making Tang Yue shy, and immediately suppressed all his tenderness and smile. "Drive, the sooner we arrive, the sooner we can rescue."
If he hadn’t playfully ended the call making Tang Yue shy, he couldn’t have kept Tang Jun’s situation from her.
Whatever happens, finding Tang Jun is the priority.
F Country.
Tang Yue hung up the phone with a flushed face, thinking if Meng Siyu still had the mind to tease her, then things must be all right, and she was just overthinking.
Tang Yue threw herself back into work; this fashion show was crucial for her, and she needed to give it her all.
At the cliffside.
Under the cover of night, Yuan Yu, guided by Cai Yufei, reached the cliff where Tang Jun had his accident. The steep cliff seemed bottomless, and Yuan Yu called out loudly, "Tang Jun."
The echoes returned, but there was no response from Tang Jun.
"How do we get down?" Yuan Yu looked at the cliff, and the thought of Tang Jun falling from there made her heart seize with pain.
How could he break his promise?
He said she’d wait for his return.
Holding on to this belief, Yuan Yu was convinced that Tang Jun would be all right.
Yuan Yu actively searched for a way down the cliff, but it was vast and steep, and those who had attempted before only managed halfway down.
"I’ll go too; I’m a doctor. If we find him, I can administer aid first-hand."
Yuan Yu convinced the others, caring little for the danger ahead; she had to go with the rescue team to find Tang Jun.
Surely Tang Jun was waiting somewhere for her to find him.
"Doctor Yuan, be careful."
In the middle of the night, the eerie forest was frightening enough. Adding rain made the mountain path slippery and hard to navigate. They hadn’t found a suitable path down the cliff, and the journey was treacherous. Even for the trained, it was grueling, let alone for a woman like Yuan Yu.
"I’m fine."
Yuan Yu had fallen countless times but remained silent. She had but one thought: find Tang Jun, find Tang Jun at all costs.
