In the end, Huo Mian chose to remain silent . She had a lot of things in her closet, but she only took the ones she wore most frequently .
Then, she quietly headed downstairs without looking at Qin Chu – she was angry at him because she knew he was hiding something from her .
He refused to talk to her or discuss things with her before getting divorced . This infuriated her very much .
It was already midnight by the time the driver dropped Huo Mian off at Sky Blessing Court . She had the keys to her mother's house, so she didn't wake her up and instead walked right up to the second floor .
Once she went into her room, Huo Mian didn't feel sleepy at all… Instead of washing her face or taking a shower, she sat dumbly on the bed . She didn't want to miss Qin Chu's phone call if he changed his mind .
She quietly stared at her phone, but it didn't make a sound . She waited 30 minutes, but nothing .
He always used to ask her if she had arrived safely, but this time he didn't .
One minute, she was loved and the next minute, she was as irrelevant as a stranger .
Huo Mian knew Qin Chu wouldn't do something like this for no reason . He must've encountered something tricky .
Therefore, she called Gao Ran .
"Hello? Huo Mian…" Gao Ran's sounded drowsy; it seemed like Huo Mian had woken him up from dreamland .
"Where are you right now?"
"Lingling's apartment . "
"Have you talked to Qin Chu recently?"
"Yeah, I called him a few days ago to hang out, but he was in a bad mood and took a raincheck . "
"Then… do you know what kind of difficulties he's encountered recently?" Huo Mian asked .
"Does Xu Changzhi framing him and the ICAC investigating him count?" Gao Ran asked back .
"Is there anything else?"
"Uh… GK Film and Entertainment isn't doing well either, right? I heard Huo Corporation has been challenging it . "
"Is there anything else other than company matters?" Huo Mian probed .
"That's it, you know everything I know and maybe even more! You're his wife… what's going on? Did something happen between you and Qin Chu?"
"Everything's fine, go back to sleep . "
Huo Mian hung up to realize that not even Gao Ran knew what was going on . Therefore, she called Rick – the two of them were Qin Chu's best friends .
"Rick . "
"Go ahead, Huo Mian . "
"Did Qin Chu call you today?"
"No, why?"
"Did… he tell you anything?"
"No . "
"Oh, okay . "
"What's wrong?" Rick asked curiously, and Huo Mian replied, "Nothing . "
It seemed like she was the first and only person who knew about the divorce .
Worried, Huo Mian decided to go look for answers tomorrow . Or maybe she should hire a private investigator?
Qin Chu was too calm and careful, and he would never ask for a divorce for no apparent reason .
Huo Mian had a feeling that something happened to him…
At the thought of the cruel words Qin Chu just said, Huo Mian felt her heartache .
That night, she didn't sleep at all . She stared at her phone, hoping that Qin Chu would call her to say, "Honey, I'm sorry, I was just kidding . "
She would rather the entire thing be just an awful prank…
Rick was having a midnight dinner with Xixi at a dim sum restaurant when he received Huo Mian's phone call . Therefore, he quickly drove Xixi home and called Qin Chu . The latter's phone was off, so he went straight to South Hill Manor, where Qin Chu brought him down to the underground cellar .
The cellar was decorated like a coffee shop, filled with precious wines, liquors, and baijiu from every country .
Qin Chu poured Rick and himself some white wine . Then, he downed his entire glass .
Upon seeing how off Qin Chu was being, Rick couldn't help but ask, "What happened between you guys? Huo Mian just called me, she sounded really distressed . It seemed like she was trying to get information from me . "
