CHAPTER 234
"I can't help but think of sothing bad. If Bai Renxiang wants to be alone, she would have sent Jun over to pick Bai Xiaojin up from school, don't you get it?" Jiang iling said.
"I don't like this. I don't like this at all."
Jiang ilin had beco restless over the last few minutes since her call with Bai Renxiang's assistant, Xia Xinyi.
Shin and Shane had tried to calm her down but it was all in vain. No mother would feel relaxed if she did not the whereabouts of her child.
"The two of you should close the store while I go and wait for Bai Xiaojin and his teacher to arrive," she said.
"Alright."
After about an hour plus of waiting, she finally caught sight of Bai Xiaojin. She did not waste ti or think twice before she rushed up to them. Bai Xiaojin also did the sa thing.
"Grandma!! Wuuu!!!" Bai Xiaojin cried.
"Oh dear, do not cry. Grandma is here now, okay? Hush now," she comforted him.
"Thank you very much for bringing him here safely. I can't imagine what would have happened to him if you had not called," Jiang ilin said.
"You do not have to be so thankful to ," Teacher Song waved his hands in his front awkwardly. He was okay with the way his elder was being grateful.
"How can I not be so thankful? You took the trouble to bring my grandson here from his school. You did not even consider the fact that you will arrive at your ho late," Jiang ilin said.
"Oh! About that. You do not have to be worried about going ho late. I happen to live on the here, in that building," he pointed to the tall building behind Juang ilin.
"And you also live there. I was surprised when you sent the address," Teacher Song added and scratched the back of his head.
"Oh, really? That is great then. Why don't we go in together?" Jiang ilin suggested and he agreed?
Teacher Song stopped at the 20th floor where his apartnt was while Jiang iling went further to the 24th. She called Shin to inform him about their arrival before she went to bathe Bai Xiaojin.
By the ti Shin and Shane arrived Bai Xiaojin was sitting quietly in the living room. He was not as lively as he used to be.
"Little Jin, what is wrong with you? Why are you sad?" Shane asked.
"Where is mummy?" Bai Xiaojin ignored his question and asked his.
"Uhh, she..." He had nothing to say. His gaze quickly trailed to Shin for help.
"Your mummy is still caught up with work. She might return very late today or early tomorrow," Shin lied without batting an eye.
"You are not telling the truth. If mummy is still working, then why did she not send uncle Jun to my school to co and pick up?" Bai Xiaojin geared at him.
"Gulp. Well, that is because she was not with her phone when she was working," Shin answered carefully.
"Yeah. People normally don't take their phone with them when they work," Shane added to make the lie more plausible.
"Well, those people do not have children," Bai Xiaojin countered. His gaze had turned suspicious all of a sudden.
"That is not all true, my dear," Jiang ilin cut in as she stepped into tge living room. "I do not carry my phone around when I am at the store working," she said.
She understood what Shin and Shane were trying to do. It would not be good if they were to tell Bai Xiaojin that they knew not where his mother was. It would be awful for the poor boy.
"But-"
"I don't do that but I have you, my grandson and your mummy, my daughter. Are you two, not my children?" Jiang ilin asked him.
"Yes, we are," Bai Xiaojin answered. He seed to have believed them.
"Then that ans mummy still loves ?"
"Yes, she does. She will never stop loving you. Now get that question out of your head and to the dining room for late lunch. You must be hungry after what happened today at school," she said.
Bai Xiaojin did as she said and left the living room. But he was still sad. Jiang ilin gave a aningful glance at Shin and Shane before she followed behind Bai Xiaojin.
"Phew! Thank God he fell for that," Shane sighed in relief.
"Yeah. Also, thank God ge did not ask about Jun. What would we have told him? My brain has already run out of stories to tell," Shin said.
"But I really hope sis is okay. I can't even think of what would happen if sothing bad were to happen to her."
" neither. But we can't relax. We have to at least know where sh3 may have gone too," Shin suggested.
"Yeah."
****
At Jiang Bojing's mansion.
BANG
"What do you an you did not see her? I thought you were following her all through?" Jiang Bojing roared in anger as he stared harshly at a man clothed in black. He was kneeling and cheering at tge sound of Jiang Bojing's voice.
"I-I am sorry, boss. We were indeed following her but in the long run, we lost her car for a few minutes. By the ti, we got to where the car was, no none was there apart from the dead driver. It seed as if they encountered a hit and run accident," the shivering man explained with his head bowed. He did not dare to look up at his boss.
Jiang Bojing was enraged. He had the golden opportunity to ruin the one person on his path to power. But what did his stupid n do?
They ruin that opportunity. How on earth did they miss her?
Now he was saying that Bai Renxiang was involved in an accident and she was not in the car? Wait a minute.
"Did soone get her before us?"
