The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife - Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Chapter 344 Recalling Her Exclusive_1

Oddly enough, she felt an air of melancholy surrounding her home.

Hai Xiaotang’s gaze flickered, then she rang the doorbell.

The door quickly swung open. The housemaid, Zhang Ma, lit up in surprise and delight at seeing Hai Xiaotang, “Miss, you’re back!”

Seeing her, Hai Xiaotang felt a sudden pang of distress.

Fighting back tears, she nodded, “Yes Zhang Ma, I’ve returned!”

Zhang Ma, tears welling up in her eyes too, said, “Miss, it’s so good to have you back. But the old master… he…”

“Zhang Ma, I came back because I heard Grandpa disappeared! Why would he suddenly vanish? What happened?” Hai Xiaotang asked anxiously.

“We’re not sure. All I know is that the day after young Master Dongfang came to see him, the old master drove away and never returned!”

Hai Xiaotang looked shocked, “You mean, Dongfang Yu visited him and then he disappeared?”

Zhang Ma nodded, “Yes. But there was a photo left in the old master’s study room that none of us can understand.”

“What photo?!”

“You’ll know when you go to the study room, Miss.”

Hai Xiaotang immediately went to her grandfather’s study and found a photo on his desk.

Picking it up in confusion, she was shocked to find she couldn’t make out anything in the photo.

It was darker than night, as if it had been taken in a very dark place.

There was a faint outline of a person in the photo, but she couldn’t tell who it was.

Hai Xiaotang was puzzled, “Why would he leave this kind of photo behind?”

Zhang Ma shook her head: “We don’t know. No one knows what this photo represents.”

Hai Xiaotang asked again: “Do you know what Dongfang Yu came to see Grandpa about?”

Zhang Ma shook her head again: “We don’t know. The old master had asked young Master Dongfang about it, but he didn’t say anything. The police have also investigated, but they haven’t found anything.”

Hai Xiaotang felt a sudden twinge of fear.

She worried that Dongfang Yu still believed her grandfather had wronged their family, forcing her grandfather to disappear to conceal the truth.

This cannot continue. She needs to clear thing up; she can’t let her grandfather carry these false charges.

Hai Xiaotang immediately took out her phone and dialed Dongfang Yu’s number.

Initially, she felt nervous and didn’t know how to start the conversation, but his mobile phone was turned off.

She tried dialing his other number.

The number that was supposedly dedicated solely to her.

However, the call didn’t go through…

Dongfang Yu had once said that this number was reserved for her, and she could reach him at any time.

But now, the fact that she couldn’t get through meant that he had taken back his promise.

Perhaps, after she chose not to meet him that day, he had given up on her and decided to forget her.

Hai Xiaotang had anticipated this possibility long ago, so she was not too affected.

She felt a slight sense of confusion, though it didn’t linger.

She didn’t regret how their relationship had ended.

After being sent away by her grandfather, she knew it was time for them to part ways. She assumed they would never cross paths again for the rest of their lives.

She had determined never to appear in front of him of her own accord again.

But the unpredictable nature of the world left her with no choice but to seek him out now…
