Chapter 80: 80, Unusual (Second Update) _1
Beneath the stage, Shen Hao looked at his boss, who wore a frosty countenance. The deep purple of his eyes was chillingly cold, making anyone who t his gaze feel a shiver down their spine.
Oh, how he wished the lady was here.
“Hey, Shen Hao, did Jian Qing not co today?” Quan Yifei, standing next to him, glanced at the stage and nudged Shen Hao with his elbow.
Shen Hao shook his head, lowering his voice, “If my lady were here, do you think the boss would still have that expression?”
Quan Yifei was stunned, “Um…”
The press interview went on for almost an hour. Considering the icy deanor of the boss, the reporters did nothing more than asking him about the key points of the jewellery project. They dared not bring up any questions related to his private life.
The one who could influence the boss’s mood was at ho at this mont, leisurely located on the sofa watching TV, nibbling on a big box of ice cream.
The TV screen showed the live broadcast of JK International’s jewelry press conference. Jian Qing gazed at the man sitting in the middle of the high platform on the bright screen, a hint of a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
She scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, the icy coldness made Jian Qing squint her eyes in satisfaction.
In this hot sumr, air conditioning and ice cream were the perfect match.
Suddenly, the dark screen of the mobile phone lit up, a video call request popped up. Jian Qing picked it up and took a look, her eyebrows furrowed when she saw the remark above it.
She put down the ice cream in her hand, stood up with her mobile phone, and swiftly went out to the small yard outside the french window, to ensure that the ice cream wouldn’t appear in the video call.
As she answered the call, Grandpa Jian’s face suddenly appeared on the screen, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes crinkled unconsciously when he saw Jian Qing.
“Grandpa!” Jian Qing called out warmly.
Upon hearing this call, Grandpa Jian, who had experienced more than half a lifeti of hardships, softened imdiately, his face full of benevolent smiles, “Little Qingqing, how have you been lately? Has anyone been bullying you?”
“No, grandpa, you don’t have to worry about .” In front of grandpa Jian, Jian Qing’s face took on a gentler tone, “Grandpa, how’s your health been recently? Have you been sneaking drinks again?”
“No, certainly not.” Grandpa Jian’s gaze flickered with unease, he quickly changed the subject, “It’s you, have you been eating ice cream secretly? You got a stomachache from eating too much last ti. The doctor specifically told you not to eat it for a while.”
Jian Qing was at a loss for words, “…”
Why did she feel that both the old and the young were so childish?
“Understood,” Jian Qing looked at the form of Qin Bo who was standing aside covering his mouth and snickering in the video. How could she not know that her Grandpa had definitely been sneaking drinks again?
He probably also got caught by Qin Bo, and threatened him to keep it a secret from her.
“Little Qingqing, how’s Luoluo been lately?” When saying this, there was a hint of worry in Grandpa Jian’s eyes.
At this, Jian Qing rembered Jian Luo’s strange tone on the phone a few days ago. In order not to worry Grandpa, she smiled, “It’s nothing. He’s probably upset because I didn’t let him co to Beijing to visit . He’ll be fine in a few days.”
“But Qin Bo said that he left the manor last night, I woke up this morning and couldn’t find him anywhere.” Grandpa Jian was still not reassured, it was unusual for Jian Luo to leave so far away without informing him. It was worrying that he left without saying a word last night.
Jian Qing slightly frowned, but first, she reassured her grandfather, “He probably went to et Black Jack. I’ll call and ask Black Jack in a mont, don’t worry.”
After reassuring Grandpa Jian, Jian Qing hastily gave Black Jack a call.
The phone was answered after a few rings. A magnetic male voice ca through, “Jian, why did you think of calling ?”
“What happened between you and Luoluo recently?” Jian Qing didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
Black Jack was utterly confused, when it ca to Jian Luo’s affairs, he never let his guard down, “What’s going on? What happened to Luo Xiaobai?”
Jian Qing explained, “Luoluo left the manor without notifying my grandfather last night.”
After she finished speaking, Jian Qing heard the sound of sothing falling over from the other side of the phone, accompanied by a crisp sound.
“Did Luo Xiaobai tell you where he was going?” Without caring about the broken cups and scattered docunts on the ground, Black Jack’s narrow eyes filled with gloom.
He knew very well how important Grandpa Jian and Jian Qing were to Luo Xiaobai. He would never leave without saying goodbye and make Grandpa worry about him.
Sothing must have happened. This was too unusual.
