Chapter 251: Ask Her To Help



Chapter 251

Huo Shao Ting responded before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Although he had just left, he felt as if he had been away from her for a century.

Rong Dai stared at her phone screen for a long time before she came back to her senses, with sweet smiles in her eyes. She then went back to work.

The embroidery work was intricate and meticulous for ordinary people.

However, for Rong Dai, it was a pleasure.

She was very familiar with every base pattern, and embroidery had become ingrained in her bones. Once she got busy, she would forget about time.

As lunchtime approached, she showed no sign of stopping because the TK fashion show timeline was tight. She was completely focused on her work.

Lu Nianzhi stood at the gate of her courtyard and rang the doorbell for a long time before Rong Dai came down.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't hear it."

When Rong Dai saw Lu Nianzhi's cheeks flushed red from the cold after opening the door, she hurriedly let her in.

Lu Nianzhi sighed lightly. She had seen Rong Dai's serious working style before, so she didn't say much. Instead, she handed over the lunchbox to her.

"I knew you would forget to eat when you got busy. People are not machines, we need proper meals to function well and complete work properly. At the very least, you need to learn to take good care of your body."

Rong Dai took the lunchbox and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, you keep working, I have to go now. There are still some formalities to deal with at the company. By the way, will you be able to spare some time during the Lantern Festival?"

Lu Nianzhi had her hands in her pants pockets, looking stylish and capable.

"Won't you come in and sit down?" Rong Dai asked when she saw that Lu Nianzhi didn't intend to come in. After seeing Lu Nianzhi shake her head and look at her watch, she answered her question.

"Is there an event?"

Lu Nianzhi nodded, "There is a private cocktail party. TK's person in charge, Ha Wei, will be there. I think even if we are not selected, it doesn't hurt to get acquainted. This cocktail party is hosted by my friend. If you want to go, I can arrange it."

After thinking about it briefly, Rong Dai nodded in agreement. "No problem."

Only then did Lu Nianzhi leave. Rong Dai had her lunch and took a short break before continuing with her work.

In the evening, she received a message from Huo Shao Ting saying that his plane had landed.

After the couple expressed their longing for each other, Huo Shao Ting had to hang up reluctantly to deal with some matters in advance.

After finishing some minor tasks, Rong Dai then washed up and prepared to rest.

However, lying in the big bed, she just couldn't fall asleep.

At the film and television city, she could basically fall asleep as soon as she hit the bed because the filming tired her out.

But tonight she had insomnia. The environment of Mount Huafo was tranquil. The warm yellow bedside lamp was on as she looked at the ceiling, with Huo Shao Ting's figure filling her mind.

After quietly spending more than ten minutes this way, she really couldn't stand it. She picked up her phone and flipped through Huo Shao Ting's photos in her album over and over again. She was wide awake instead of getting sleepy.

She deeply understood what it meant to miss someone like a surging tide.

Just as she was looking at the photos intently, a message suddenly popped up from Qiao Wanzhou.

She hadn't contacted Qiao Wanzhou since parting in the film and television city. Now it was already ten o'clock at night.

Qiao Wanzhou sent her a line: Are you sleeping? Are you free now?

Rong Dai thought about it and replied to her.

She had been too busy recently. Although she was wary of Qiao Wanzhou, they got acquainted at the film and television city. Also, the Qiao family and the Huo family were somewhat related. She was about to take over the duties of the Huo family's lady of the house.

For both personal and logical reasons, she should make time to see Old Lady Qiao.

After thinking about it, she sent over, "How is Granny Qiao?"

The last time she saw Old Lady Qiao, she knew her health was not good. The old lady had been hospitalized before the New Year, and there was still no news so far, so she assumed there was no major issue for the time being.

Her message had just been sent for a few seconds when Qiao Wanzhou quickly responded that Old Lady Qiao was now living on nutritional fluids in the hospital and could leave the mortal world at any time.

Life was impermanent, and life even more so.

Rong Dai simply wished her well, without any words of comfort. Sometimes comfort didn't help.

But she was very curious why Qiao Wanzhou had messaged her so late without saying anything, which made her a little puzzled.

Seeing the line "The other party is typing..." on WeChat, but no message coming through for a long time, she frowned slightly.

Rong Dai: Has something happened?

Qiao Wanzhou was not the kind of person who casually troubled others. Messaging her so late must mean something was up.

Sure enough, a few seconds after she sent this message, Qiao Wanzhou quickly sent her a voice message.

When she heard what Qiao Wanzhou said, she frowned slightly. Before she could think of how to reply, Qiao Wanzhou's call came in.

She hesitated for two seconds before answering.

"Rong Dai, I know this will put you in a difficult position, but I really can't get away. I'm being tailed by paparazzi all the time now, probably because I was being watched in the film and television city. Zhou Jing doesn't have many people around him. He's a bit of a loner. I...I'm worried about him. I don't have anyone I can trust, the only one I trust is you."

"He's in the hospital now. I can't get through to his phone. I...please help me check on him okay? I'll explain it to Mr. Huo."

Before Rong Dai could speak, Qiao Wanzhou's tearful voice came through.

The suppressed anxiety and panic in her voice was heart-wrenching to hear.

Rong Dai had not intended to get involved in such matters, but Qiao Wanzhou's tearful pleading voice begged her not to refuse.

She knew about the feelings between these two, but onlookers could not really help them.

"Okay, I'll help you check on him, but just this once."

She agreed after hesitating for a few seconds.

Over the phone, Qiao Wanzhou was overjoyed and kept thanking her.

"Qiao... Sister Wanzhou, I think some things can't be solved by avoidance. Take good care of yourself, I'll message you after I go check on him."

Qiao Wanzhou immediately acknowledged and told her the hospital address before the two hung up.

Rong Dai glanced at the time on her phone screen and sighed softly.

She decided to first message Huo Shao Ting about it.

She was now a married woman. Even though she had promised Qiao Wanzhou, going to visit someone late at night, and a male at that, was not something she would keep from Huo Shao Ting.

She had deeply learned from her mistakes in her previous life and knew well the damage misunderstandings could do to a relationship.
