29: Chapter 29: Abandoned in the Wilds 29: Chapter 29: Abandoned in the Wilds “You’re going!
You’ll fetch things for ; I’m short a servant!
What, you won’t go?
Everything I bought is for Ruoxin, and you’ve caused her such distress…”
“I’ll go.”
“Hmph, at least you know your place!”
Seated in Madam Du’s car, Lin Xinlan stared out the window, lost in thought.
She remained silent and still throughout the ride, so engrossed in her musings that she didn’t even notice when the car had traveled to a far-off place.
It was desolate all around, with no clue where she was.
As Lin Xinlan ca back to her senses and was about to ask, Madam Du opened the car door and said coldly, “Get out and fetch the toolbox from the trunk.
The car seems to have a problem.”
“Ah, a problem?” She hadn’t noticed anything amiss.
“Exactly, now go get it!
And fix the car for !”
“But I can’t…”
“Enough with the nonsense, just go get it!” Madam Du glared at her fiercely.
Lin Xinlan had no choice but to get out.
Just as she reached the back of the car, it suddenly started up and sped away.
She was stunned for a mont before realizing that Madam Du intended to leave her behind.
Fine, she had been tricked by her again.
There was no one around, no passing cars—she didn’t even know how to get back.
Lin Xinlan walked in the direction she had co from for a while but still saw nothing.
Her feet hurt from the high heels, and she couldn’t walk anymore.
She sat down by the roadside to rest for a while, and seeing it was still early, she continued on her way.
But the road was so long, she simply couldn’t walk any further.
With no other options, Lin Xinlan took out her phone and called Rong Shaoze.
“Hello, Madam Du has left stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Could you send soone to pick up?”
The voice at the other end was noisy, filled with music and won’s chatter—Rong Shaoze must have been in a bar or sowhere similar.
He sounded impatient, “Just take a taxi back!”
“But there are no taxis here.”
“Then wait.”
“I don’t think any taxis will pass by; maybe you should…”
“Just wait, one will show up eventually.
I’m hanging up, don’t disturb if it’s not important!” Rong Shaoze hung up the phone with a tone both cold and rciless.
Lin Xinlan sighed at her phone and resigned herself to keep walking.
She refused to believe that she couldn’t make it back if she walked all day.
The sky gradually darkened, and it looked like it was about to rain.
Lin Xinlan picked up her pace, sighing inwardly at her terrible luck!
In the night, heavy rain poured down as a flashy silver Lamborghini screeched to a stop in front of the villa.
A servant waiting at the door opened a black umbrella, respectfully holding it over Rong Shaoze’s head.
Walking into the living room, aside from a little water on his shoes, Rong Shaoze was completely dry.
He headed upstairs, then paused after a few steps and turned back to look at Lao Gu, “Where’s Lin Xinlan?”
“Master, the Young Madam left this morning and hasn’t co back since,” replied Lao Gu.
A thoughtful look flashed in Rong Shaoze’s eyes, “Call her and ask where she is, then send soone to pick her up.”
“Yes.” Lao Gu imdiately dialed the number, but the phone was turned off.
“Master, I can’t get through; the Young Madam’s phone is switched off.”
Rong Shaoze thought to himself that the woman was really troubleso.
He was starting to regret letting his emotions dictate his decision to make her his wife.
He should have handed her over to the police and let her rot in jail for life.
“Forget it, she’ll find her own way back.
Leave her be,” he said.
“Yes.”
Rong Shaoze returned to his bedroom.
He played so music and took a bath, then poured himself a glass of red wine and sipped it before heading to the study to work online.
Ti ticked by, second by second.
Soon it was 10 o’clock at night, and Lin Xinlan still hadn’t returned.
Rong Shaoze glanced at the ti, a dark shadow crossing his face.
