“Isn’t Madam Zhai at our house? Didn’t Chief Zhai know?” Feeling puzzled, Qiao Dongliang lowered his voice and asked.

Having worked for the whole day, Qiao Dongliang was tired too.

When he returned to the small courtyard of the Qiao family where things remained but people were no longer present, Qiao Dongliang did not feel much. He just packed, washed up, and went to bed.

At night, Qiao Dongliang vaguely heard traffic in and out of the quad but he did not bother. It was only this morning that he heard Chief Zhai had been sending people to look for Miao Jing. At that juncture, Qiao Dongliang was stunned. Madam Zhai was at his house. Was there a need to search for her?

Qiao Dongliang, who was puzzled, did not dare to say anything. He first made a call home to ask Qiao Nan about the situation.

“Ah, Chief Zhai is back?” Qiao Nan covered the phone’s receiver and asked. According to what Auntie Miao said yesterday, she came back alone. Hence, she did not wish to return to the house of the Zhai family, as she would be the only one at home if she did.

“Isn’t that so? Moreover, I just heard that Chief Zhai came back yesterday. He was back not much later than Madam Zhai. Nan Nan, what exactly is happening? Chief Zhai is still sending people to search for her. Do you think we should tell him?” Clearly, Madam Zhai was at his house. Qiao Dongliang would feel guilty if he did not reveal this.

“Dad, don’t be anxious. I’ll check with Auntie Miao about what she thinks first. That, Dad, you know… The relations.h.i.+p between a couple… It’s not convenient for us to interfere too much. I think Auntie Miao did not know that Chief Zhai came back yesterday.”

“Sure, then hurry. When I see Chief Zhai still continuing with the search, I…”

“Understand, understand, I fully understand.”

“What’s the matter?” Miao Jing, who just brushed her teeth and washed her face, had changed into the clothes that she had washed yesterday. “I’m hungry. Where’s the rice in your house? I’ll go and cook porridge.”

“Yo, Auntie Miao, you’re cooking porridge. Not waiting for me to do so?” Qiao Nan was not so appreciative. Regardless of whether Auntie Miao’s previous status was high or not before marriage, in the past, Auntie Miao always propped her legs and waited to be served each time she visited.

“I’ve eaten a few of your meals. This time, I’ll let you look at my skills.” Miao Jing sprang into action. Although she had not used the stove for a long time, after a while, she seemed to have regained her touch.

It was only when Miao Jing finished cooking that Qiao Nan raised her eyebrows at the rich and fragrant porridge. “Not bad.”

“That is of course. Hurry up and eat.” Miao Jing smiled complacently.

After finis.h.i.+ng breakfast, Qiao Nan felt that it was time for her to speak out. “Auntie Miao, my dad called me just now and told me that Chief Zhai came back yesterday. He has been sending people to look for you. Are you going back?”

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Before Miao Jing could reply, the phone in the Qiao family rang again.

Qiao Nan sighed. She was destined for a hard life. She supported herself and stood up. “h.e.l.lo?”

“Nan Nan, my dad just contacted me and told me that my mom is missing. She’s already not young and still ran away from home. Have you seen my mom?” Zhai Sheng’s voice was a little sullen. At the mention of Chief Zhai, his tone was more unfriendly.

It was not for other reasons. Zhai Sheng heard that Qi Minlan came to look for his father at the camp on the pretext of Qiu Chenxi’s matter yesterday.

It was because of this meeting that her mother simply left the camp without a word, leaving his father behind.

Upon hearing this news, Zhai Hua, who just returned to the camp, was so furious that she nearly gave Qi Minlan a round of bas.h.i.+ng directly.
