Shao Jinhai was still inundated in his thoughts, he was scarcely receptive of Chan Juan's presence.
"Hey!" Chan Juan tested by calling, and surprisingly he responded to her first call. Chan Juan lifted up the clay, implying she was done with the kneading.
Shao Jinhai stood up and ambled towards her with so much of his charismatic essence, along with a strange counterfeiting guise he had one.
"When do we start the wheeling thing?"
Chan Juan asked with her left hand on her waist.
"Now." Shao Jinhai answered, and took off the fine clothe covering the wheel.
Chan Juan fluttered her thick lashes, accompanied by a visible smirk.
"Somewhere with a little fun at least." Chan Juan muttered.
It was evening already,
In Dexin Villa, Guo Qiang continues to pace back and forth in his room. His mind had not been at rest since they came back from the hotel, and what Xie Li said earlier was beginning to hop into his head trivially; as he speculated on what Xie Li had said, it sounded meaningful but was too straightforward to admit.
It seemed to be the only one concerned about her missing after Master Guo, but his mother...
She..she appeared fine with it, perhaps. Guo Qiang shook his head vigorously at his thinking, he would not approve of harbouring such ill thoughts, he was overthinking, he thought. Guo Qiang gulped down reflexively and felt his throat lacked moisture, he pried his eye over the room for water but only could see an empty bottle standing on his bedside table. He went out to the kitchen to get one, when he heard the screeching sound from the door.
His pace became slow as he walked down the steps, he was astounded when he saw Eu Meh walk in, that wasn't it actually; her dress was enough reason to doubt where she was coming from, she was dressed in long black pants and a black top, with a leather coat on which was tied tightly to her waist with the leather belt provided.
Guo Qiang gaped barely, he wanted to say something, but he realized nothing logical was going to come out of his mouth so he rather kept quiet and contemplated.
Eu Meh veered around to see Guo Qiang standing on the stairs, she looked stunned and lost conduct.
She instantly concealed herself, with a wide smile and she strolled towards Guo Qiang who was now off the stairs.
"Good evening darling..." Eu Meh greeted and pecked him on the cheek as per Western style.
"I did not know you were not at home." Guo Qiang said after disengaging from the hug, Guo Qiang curiously wanted to know were she was coming from all dressed in black. At least that was the modest way he could think of.
"I was at the company today. I was told you were not at the office. I came over so you could come with me to the station about Guo Daiyu's case." Eu Meh's face dragged down as she gazed lucidly at Guo Qiang. He felt bad that instant, it was really frustrating, of not knowing her whereabouts, no clues at all.
Eu Meh sighed tiredly, her body weakened as she almost missed a step. Luckily Guo Qiang held her up and prevented her from falling.
"You appear very tired. Here, sit. I will get you water."
Few seconds later, he was back with a glass and f water. He gave it to Eu Meh and watched her drink it. Then it struck him, it would be best to let Eu Meh know about what he has been up to on Guo Daiyu's case, right?
"Mother..."
"Mn..."
Guo Qiang contemplated on whether to let his mother know or not on his encounter at the hotel.
Meanwhile, Eu Meh was gazing profoundly at Guo Qiang anticipating what he was about to say. In the end, Guo Qiang shook his head slightly and smiled, which was later accompanied by these short string of words,
"It's nothing, nevermind."
"You are sure?" Eu Meh asked worriedly.
Guo Qiang smiled and nodded, Eu Meh stood up and tapped his shoulder gently.
"I know how much you care about your sister, this all should not have happened but I believe it is for a reason and I know she is safe. I also hope we will find her soon, okay?" Eu Meh solaced as she gripped his shoulder a little bit but gently.
"I am going to bed now, good night. Sweet dreams." Eu Meh smiled rubbing his arm and walked away later on.
For some reason, Guo Qiang could not help but notice his mother's awkwardness and why he wasn't able to tell her anything about what happened at the hotel.
Guo Qiang frowned at nothing when he noticed the rising haze in his head,
"So complicated..." He muttered, and thought to himself.
I really need Xie Li now.
Back at the Shao Ancestral Mansion,
At the dinner table, Master Shao and Lan Shang were the only ones present, and they have been there for quite a long time.
"These youngsters find fun in keeping elders waiting..." Master Shao commented with a slice of coldness in his thick tone and began to devour his dinner. Lan Shang asked the female servant standing next to her,
"Where are they?"
"They have been in the Young Master's old pottery studio since dawn." The female servant muttered and scurried away. Lan Shang was astounded same as Master Shao who overheard it and paused instantly, he and Lan Shang locked eyes, perharps it was the same thing going on through their minds at that moment.
