1563 I am here if anything happens. (1/2)
”Aren't you worried at all? She is a woman,” hissed Pei Ge as she tried to control her emotions. Sitting beside her, Ji Ziming sensed the change in her emotions and held her hand more tightly.
”If you called just to tell me this, then I know about it now.”
Gu Zhengrong could not understand why the woman on the other end seemed about to go crazy just because his girlfriend left.
”In your eyes, what is my best friend?!” Hatred colored her eyes as the woman continued. ”Can you give her a call now? Can you just do me this one favor?”
”Call her? I have already called her.”
”When did you call her?”
She could not believe him. She had only just found out from her mother that her best friend was missing. When did he find out, then?
”It's true; I'm not lying to you. I called her today, but no one answered. I don't know why, but she does this all the time, so I did not pay it much heed.”
”Didn't answer?”
She seemed to be able to see some hope. ”You mean that your call got through, but she just did not pick up?”
”Yes. She does this often, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.'
He felt that Pei Ge was making a fuss over nothing. His girlfriend did this often; hence, there was nothing to it that warranted a 'missing person' report.
”Can you call her again? Can you call her until she answers the phone?”
The woman knew that the only one who could find her best friend was this guy. After all, for his sake, she could give up everything she had, including her life.
”Why are you this concerned about her?”
He felt a little upset inside. In this spacious and silent office, he heard the special ringtone he had set for her, yet she only called to ask him about another woman.
The most miserable thing was that she was begging him to look for her best friend, but the woman he loved had always been her.
”She is my best friend. Who am I supposed to be concerned about if not her?”
She found it laughable. Was he dumb? What should she do to make him give up entirely? She had already gone somewhere far from the guy and vowed never to have any contact with him again. She even needed to get his number through her contacts. If this was not enough, then she could not find another cleaner way to end this.
”Have you never thought of me after going back for so long?”
”What situation is this now? You still have the mind to think of such stuff?”
The car turned a corner and the hospital under the Ji Group came into view.
”I just want an answer.” He refused to budge, merely wanting that one answer from her.
”Fine, you want an answer? Then, listen properly: I do not feel anything for you. All I want to do is find my best friend quickly. If you are unwilling to help me, then treat it as me having said nothing. Also, I am now living very blissfully. I have a man who loves me and children who have a father to dote on them. It is impossible between you and me. You need to drop the idea forever.”
