1106 What will happen when she can’t find me? (2/2)

Ou Ming had a nagging sense that something was amiss, but he didn't give it much thought and made his way to the car.

When he opened the door to the backseat, he saw Jiao Ziqing sitting up inside, all prim and proper. She looked regal and content. Upon further scrutiny, she still appeared calm and unruffled, completely unlike someone whose illness had just acted up.

When Ou Ming witnessed this, he knew he'd been set up. He was about to walk off in a fury, but Bodyguard Guan caught hold of him and forced him into the car.

The chauffeur locked the car doors immediately after Bodyguard Guan slammed it shut.

Flustered and exasperated, Ou Ming banged on the car door as he roared, ”You lied to me!”

Jiao Ziqing appeared indifferent to her son's rage and spoke offhandedly, ”Go home. It's unbecoming to spend the New Year with a mistress.”

”Shut up!” Ou Ming was angered past reason, and he bellowed back, ”She's not a mistress! She's my girlfriend!”

Jiao Ziqing looked at Ou Ming as if he were crazy beyond help.

His eyes and expression all emulated that of someone crazy. ”Ou Ming, you're mad. You've been utterly bewitched by that woman! You've turned mad!”

”Mom, I know very well what I'm doing. If you want me to go back with you, I will. But you have to let me out first so that I can tell her know and say goodbye. I'll head back with you immediately after that.”

”Impossible!” Jiao Ziqing objected without even sparing it a thought. ”Do you really think I'm stupid? Would you still come back after I released you?”

Once bitten twice shy. Such a tactic could only work once.

Jiao Ziqing knew her son well, and she coldly instructed the chauffeur, ”Drive faster.”

The chauffeur obeyed and sped up.

Ou Ming closed his eyes with a heavy heart. ”She'll be there waiting for me. What will happen when she can't find me?”

Author's note:

Someone noted to me that the chapter was repeated and accused me of abandoning the story and taking money. Just a note– from the back end, there doesn't seem to be any problem and no repetition of any chapter, only the responses from the readers on QQ. It's probably a bug. Readers, please try changing your channel. Chapter 27 is available on the QQ Reader or on QQ Mobile.
