Chapter 758: Interception (2)
In truth, it didn’t take long at all. In just a few short seconds, the anxious Shi Yao felt as if she had waited for a very long time. Thus, she couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Jiage, I’m asking you a question. Where are you right now?”
“I’m in a meeting...”Lin Jiage replied with a perplexed look on his face. Sensing the anxiety in Shi Yao’s tone, he thought that something had happened to her, so he hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Did Something Happen?”
A meeting... where was it held? Could it be a meeting with Liang Xiao alone?
Shi Yao subconsciously pinched her phone, ignoring the second half of Lin Jiage’s question. She asked another question, “Where is it held?”
“Where else could it be? It’s at the company...”Lin Jiage’s tone carried a hint of “What kind of question is that?”.
Shi Yao let out an ‘oh’before heaving a sigh of relief.
So, it turns out that Lin Jiage still hasn’t set off to meet Liang Xiao... it seems like she still has time to intercept that Hu Xiao who won’t leave..
With this thought in mind, Shi Yao asked, “Then, how long will it take for your meeting to be over?”
“If it’s fast, it’ll probably take half an hour...”after replying to Shi Yao’s question, Lin jiage asked, “Yaoyao, what’s Wrong?”
Half an hour... if she were to take the subway, it would only take her about three stops to get to his company. It would take more than ten minutes, so there was more than enough time..
Shi Yao’s heart finally calmed down, “It’s nothing. I’m just asking you a question. Go ahead with your meeting. I Won’t disturb you anymore.”
With that, Shi Yao was about to hang up the phone.
On the other end of the line, Lin Jiage seemed to have realized that she was about to hang up, so he quickly asked, “Yaoyao, are you really alright?”
“I’m really alright... I promise! I swear!”
Lin Jiage was silent for a few seconds before he finally spoke up, “Alright then, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll talk to you later.”
Shi Yao replied with an “MHM”before hanging up.
Due to the urgency of the matter, she didn’t waste any more time with Leng Nuan, he tiantian, and Jiang Yue. Instead, she hurriedly asked them to bring her clothes and shoes back to her dormitory room. After which, she flipped through her metro card and prepared to head to the elevator.
However, before she could take a step forward, she suddenly thought of something. She walked up to Leng Nuan and asked her in a low voice, “Nuan Nuan, do you think that I’ll be looked down upon by him if I just deliver myself to his doorstep like this?”
Even though Shi Yao didn’t say why she was dressed up so earnestly, Leng Nuan could roughly guess what she was doing. Even though she didn’t mention Lin Jiage’s name, she knew that Shi Yao was going to look for Lin Jiage, after hearing her words, Leng Nuan shook her head and reassured her, “That won’t happen. Just go ahead and do as you’re told. If he really dares to look down on you, just beat him up. If you can’t beat him up, I’ll help you beat him up!”
“That’s right...”Shi Yao felt that Leng Nuan’s words made a lot of sense. “If he dares to look down on me, I’ll beat him up. If we can’t beat him up, that’s fine. I still have sister Jiayi...”
After saying those words, Shi Yao, who had nothing to worry about, broke into a smile. After which, she waved her hand at Leng Nuan, grabbed her subway card, and dashed toward the elevator without even turning her head back.
It happened to be the evening rush hour, so there were quite a few people taking the subway.
Coupled with Shi Yao’s outfit, it was truly a rare sight to see on the subway, and it attracted quite a few people’s attention.
