Chapter 1056 Running Away From Home
Pei Ziheng's tone was gentle but tough: "It is human nature to take a break when sick, not a privilege."
Xia Ling stared at him: "I'm going to class!" She didn't know why she was so stubborn. It was probably because he was so mean to her yesterday that she didn't want to obey today. Her cheeks gradually turned a bright red due to excitement and illness, and she looked extremely beautiful under the light of the morning sun.
Something moved slightly in Pei Ziheng's heart.
But he still refused to give in: "Driver Li has a day off today."
Xia Ling was angry: "If you don't let him send me off, I'll go by myself!" As she said that, she didn't know where she got the strength to put down her fork, turned around and rushed out of the house.
"Miss!" Zhou's mother called worriedly from behind, chasing after a few steps, then looking back at Pei Ziheng, "Sir!"
Pei Ziheng sat where he was without moving: "Let her go."
Zhou's mother was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Miss, you are still so young, unfamiliar with the place, and still sick. What if something happens to you alone outside? Sir, you can't ignore it!"
Pei Ziheng said: "Find someone to follow her and don't let her find out." He just wanted to temper her temper and let her know that she would be unable to move without him, so that she would obey him obediently in the future.
Zhou Ma knew his temper and knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she had to find the housekeeper in a hurry.
Xia Ling ran far away alone, until she reached the outskirts of the Pei family villa complex. She stood at the crossroads and was blown away by the wind before she came back to her senses. She was in a hurry, and she was only wearing a sleeveless dress. It was a bit cold standing in the late summer and early autumn wind. Which way should the training camp go? She didn't know. She had only gone there once yesterday to report for work. Only if she could remember the way would there be ghosts. However, she didn't give up. Didn't Pei Ziheng not let her go? She wanted to go!
I have no money...
Since she was adopted, although she has good food and clothing, she has no need for money. Yesterday, she was going to a training camp to "stay". Pei Ziheng gave her a bank card, but she put the card in her luggage. Didn't take it out of the box. She searched all over her body and found only a mobile phone.
She turned on the GPS navigation on her phone and walked towards the training camp while finding her way.
It takes half an hour to drive, but it's definitely not a short walk. With a little girl's feet and a fever, it's normal to walk for a whole day. But she was so stubborn and moved forward unyieldingly.
Not far behind her, where she didn't notice, the housekeeper kept following her.
From time to time, the housekeeper would pass the news to Zhou's mother on the phone, and then from Zhou's mother to Pei Ziheng——
"The lady has crossed the intersection."
"Miss, you turned left into Zhongyi Street."
"The young lady seemed to be going to a training camp. She was asking for directions, and Auntie Baozipu told her that she could take the bus."
"The lady didn't take the car. She probably didn't have any money. She walked along Ziwei Road very slowly. She stopped several times to rest. Her face didn't look good."
Pei Ziheng's face didn't look good either. She was sick. Why should she hold on? ! You obviously have your mobile phone with you, but you don’t know how to give him a call and give in? ! "Let her go," he said sullenly, "I want to see how long she will be stubborn!"
"Sir!" Zhou's mother was anxious, "Miss's body can't bear it!"
Pei Ziheng was unmoved.
Xia Ling didn't know how long she had been walking. Sweat gradually formed on her body and face. She didn't even know whether she had gotten hot or was getting more seriously ill. She just felt dizzy and almost couldn't hold on any longer. Countless times, she lowered her head and looked at her phone, hoping that the familiar ringtone would ring and that Brother Pei would call to ask where she was and if she was okay. Unfortunately, no. No matter how many times I checked my phone, I was still disappointed.
She didn't know that someone was following her, thinking that Brother Pei really didn't want her anymore. Her body was shaking, and she lost strength as she walked. She squatted down in a green belt on the side of the road. So tired, so thirsty... Her lips were chapped and she wanted to drink water. She looked longingly at the stall selling soy milk not far away, but she didn't have a penny on her body.
She misses the unfinished breakfast at home, the sponge cakes and mixed juices carefully prepared by Zhou's mother. Brother Pei likes to drink clear coffee, and he will thoughtfully put sliced smoked chicken and ham on her plate...
No, why do you miss him again?
She didn't want to think about that bad guy!
Xia Ling hugged her knees and wanted to cry. She had run away from home, but he didn't come to find her! Lowering her eyes, she saw a silver bracelet on her wrist. It was given to her by Pei Ziheng a few months ago. Without having to touch it, she could clearly remember that the initials of their last name and four words were engraved on the inside of the bracelet. ——Never give up.
It's all lies.
What's the point of never leaving?
How long has it been since you were so cruel to her and so indifferent to her?
"Liar..." She murmured, suddenly became angry, took off the bracelet on her wrist with force, and walked out far away. The bracelet quilt was still far away, rolled into a smelly ditch, and disappeared.
Xia Ling looked in that direction, and after a few seconds, she stood up unsteadily.
In the clear sunshine of early autumn, I saw a little girl wearing a thin dress walking with difficulty to the smelly ditch on the roadside, leaning down to look for something. After a long time, regardless of the dirty smell, she fished out a silver bracelet from the ditch. Come.
Her body was covered in dirt, her face was covered with black mud, and her small hands, which were originally as white as jade, could no longer see their original color. However, when she picked up the bracelet, her smile for a moment caught the attention of many passers-by. Trance.
She held the extremely dirty silver bracelet, looked left and right, staggered to a fountain in a shopping mall not far away, carefully washed the bracelet clean, and wiped it carefully with the hem of her skirt. wipe. Then, he washed his hands and put the bracelet back on.
The housekeeper who was following behind felt sad and told Zhou's mother about this scene.
Zhou Ma told Pei Ziheng: "Miss, I threw your bracelet out of anger and accidentally fell into the smelly ditch. I regretted it again. It took me a long time to fish it out. It was all dirty, but I was the first to clean the bracelet." .”
Pei Ziheng's heart seemed to be lightly pricked by something, throbbing a little and feeling a little uncomfortable.
"How is she now?" he asked.
"My clothes are all dirty. I'm sitting by the fountain in Robin Square. I can't seem to walk." Zhou's mother glanced at Pei Ziheng cautiously. "Sir, the lady hasn't eaten anything today, and she's still wearing slippers. Let's go." After such a long journey, the housekeeper said her feet were blistered. Don't be angry with her and bring her back."
Pei Ziheng was silent for a moment and asked, "Is her mobile phone still there?"
"...I've always had it in my hand."
In other words, she could clearly contact him, but she refused to call him!
Pei Ziheng became sullen again and his voice became deeper: "Let the housekeeper continue to follow."
