CHAPTER 2074: CHAPTER 2010: FAINTED AGAIN

One o’clock in the afternoon.

Meng Xinian returned home from the airport.

In the courtyard, Wang Yi was playing with Little Bean Bun, while Chen Yin was having tea and chatting with Xu Linjiang and Ge Xiaotong.

The younger folks didn’t have the habit of taking afternoon naps, so Chiang Songhai and Ge Dejun went to rest.

Today at noon, they all came over for lunch, and after eating, they stayed at home waiting for Chiang Xiao.

But by now, Chiang Xiao still hadn’t returned.

Everyone was on edge.

They were worried that Chiang Xiao might not be able to make it back in time.

As soon as Meng Xinian walked in, he glanced around and knew that Chiang Xiao hadn’t returned.

His heart suddenly sank.

"Xinian, how is it, did you find Little?" Xu Linjiang quickly asked when he saw him.

Meng Xinian walked over, sat down next to Chen Yin, and shook his head.

Chen Yin poured him a cup of tea.

"Have a cup of tea first. Didn’t someone say Sister-in-law has already deplaned? She should be on her way back."

"Mm."

Meng Xinian responded with a nod.

After going to the airport, he had checked everywhere, also went to that hostel, and after confirming, even sneaked into the room to have a look. There was a faint floral scent in the room.

It wasn’t Chiang Xiao’s scent.

But he always felt that it should be Chiang Xiaoxiao.

The hostel had a phone, no matter how late it was, when Chiang Xiaoxiao arrived, she should have called him to pick her up, but she didn’t.

There was a floral scent in the room, why would there be such a scent if it wasn’t for some special reason?

The problem she encountered definitely wasn’t a minor one.

Meng Xinian took out the list again, checking each name one by one.

Even though just looking at the list wouldn’t reveal much, he didn’t want to miss any possible details.

Chiang Xiao was also quite frustrated at this time.

Because despite searching for a long time, she couldn’t find a place to make a call.

Only now did she realize the privilege it was that her family had their phone installed so early. She wondered how Meng Xinian managed it.

In such a large residential area, there were no public phones.

She asked around and was told to go to the post office to make a call.

But there wasn’t a post office around here, and finding one would take time, so she figured she might as well just catch a taxi directly home.

However, this area was full of small alleys where cars rarely passed through, and possibly because the New Year celebrations weren’t fully over, there weren’t many drivers out pulling fares, so she couldn’t hail a taxi for a while and had to find her way to a bus stop and wait for the bus.

This place was a bit of a distance from home.

By the time she finally got on the bus, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.

This bus did not go directly to Liuli Street, so after getting off, Chiang Xiao finally managed to hail a taxi to head home.

Just when the taxi she was in was about to reach Liuli Street, a call came from the hospital.

Cheng Cheng’s voice was very tense.

"Xinian, Godfather fainted again from the headache!"

Meng Xinian stood up abruptly.

He said to Xu Linjiang, "Uncle, you all should still wait at home, I’ll make a trip to the hospital. If Little comes back, tell her not to go anywhere and just wait for me at home."

"What’s going on? You’ve been running around so much today, what’s happened exactly?"

"Uncle Six is in the hospital, I’m going over to check."

Meng Xinian explained briefly and then hurriedly left.

Xu Linjiang and Ge Xiaotong exchanged a glance.

"What on earth is happening?" Ge Xiaotong asked worriedly. "Xinian has been busy running around nonstop today, and I don’t know what’s gone wrong. Little hasn’t come back yet either; are they even going to have their wedding today?"
