Chapter 1389: Farewell and Returning Home
After returning to the hotel, Jin Hao ordered his men to investigate who ambushed him. But no matter how hard they searched, they found nothing, as if those people had emerged from the ground, leaving no trace at all.
Jin Hao was furious but helpless. Since he couldn’t find them, he had no way to vent his anger, so he ended up throwing things around and taking it out on his subordinates.
So when he was done venting, the hotel staff saw a few people being carried out of his room. Whether they were still alive, they didn’t dare to look closely. However, judging by the looks, they seemed alive, albeit barely breathing.
Jin Hao, losing face, dared not show himself. Jiang Xue was finally at ease. Every morning after breakfast, she would buy groceries and then go to her secluded space to prepare pills.
Whenever she had time, she would visit Mr. Mu or drop by Lu Jintian’s house for a sit-in.
Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Xue was to return to South City. Mu Qiancheng took her to the airport. At the moment of departure, Mu Qiancheng said to her, "Xue’er, do whatever you want to do; I won’t stop you. But you must ensure your own safety, or I’ll go crazy."
Hearing Mu Qiancheng’s words, Jiang Xue looked at him seriously, then nodded earnestly and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
"Hmm, remember what you said today, no matter what, staying alive is the most important."
"Okay!" Jiang Xue replied with a smile. Better to live a flawed life than to die a perfect death; she naturally wanted to live. Only by living could there be endless possibilities.
If she died, then there would be nothing left. She didn’t want her son to call someone else ’mom’, nor did she want her husband to be with someone else.
So, she must live, and live well.
When it was time to board, Jiang Xue walked a few steps forward, then suddenly ran back, tightly hugging Mu Qiancheng.
She hugged him for quite a while, only letting go when most of the passengers had boarded. She said, "Qian Cheng, remember to miss me!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll be thinking of you all the time." Mu Qiancheng smiled, pinching Jiang Xue’s nose, and said, "Go on, I’ll come to see you when I have time."
"Okay, I’ll be waiting for you!" Jiang Xue replied, then walked briskly towards the boarding gate without looking back.
When Jiang Xue returned to South City, it was already a few hours later. Before boarding the plane, she had called Huo Cong to pick her up.
When she walked out, Huo Cong’s car was already parked outside waiting. Seeing Jiang Xue emerge, Huo Cong stepped forward to take her luggage and put it in the trunk.
Once inside the car, Jiang Xue asked Huo Cong, "How’s everything at home these days?"
"Pretty good, just that Little Reunion often misses you and then cries for a while." Huo Cong didn’t hide anything, and his honesty made Jiang Xue feel uncomfortable.
Come to think of it, Little Reunion had never been apart from her for such a long time. Even when she was away before, she would return the next day, or she would keep Little Reunion by her side.
But this time, because the elders couldn’t bear to part with Little Reunion, she didn’t take him with her, not realizing how much he would miss her.
"Drive faster," Jiang Xue instructed Huo Cong. At this moment, she was eager to see her son.
Huo Cong nodded, then sped up. What was supposed to be an hour-long journey took just over forty minutes before Jiang Xue arrived home.
