Chapter 2421

Yi Jinli said, "Lil Jin wants to stay in Deer City for a few more days, doesn’t she? Since that's what she wants, it's better to fulfill her wish. As for the kindergarten, I'll make a phone call and ask Uncle Kwan to ask for a leave of absence." "But what about your work?" Ling Yiran asked. Yi Jinli said, "I can make conference calls for now. The others can be handled through fax and computer. Since the Xia family has found out, why don't we take the opportunity to sort out Xia Xi’s matter as soon as possible? That way, you can return to Shen City sooner as well. I don't want you staying in Deer City alone." Ling Yiran froze and immediately understood that the real reason he wanted to stay in Deer was not that his daughter wanted to stay longer. It was because of her. "What if we can't sort out this Xia Xi’s matter in a short time? After all, it's still unknown where the Xia family has transferred her to," she said. "We'll be able to find out where Xia Xi is in three days tops," said Yi Jinli. "How is that possible? Shen Weifang says it's unlikely we'll find Xia Xi anytime soon!" "That's if the Shen family is looking for her alone. It's unlikely they'll find her soon. But if we cooperate with the Shen family, we'll find her within three days—unless the Xia family has sent Xia Xi out of Deer City. I'll look all over Deer City in these three days," Yi Jinli said affirmatively. Once they were back at the hotel, Yi Jinli took care of the two little ones while Ling Yiran went to Zhuo Qianyun's room next door. However, she found that Zhuo Qianyun's eyes were red when she saw her. "What's the matter? What's making you uncomfortable?" Ling Yiran asked hurriedly. "No, I'm fine," said Zhuo Qianyun. "By the way, where's Ye Wenming?" Ling Yiran looked around the room and realized that Ye Wenming was not in the room. "He went out to take care of something," said Zhuo Qianyun. She did not tell Ling Yiran that Ye Wenming left the room because she had slapped him. "I just went to the Shen family’s house. Shen Weifang said that Xia Xi..." Ling Yiran told Zhuo Qianyun the news she got from the Shen family today and that she would try her best to find out where the Xia family had transferred Xia Xi to within three days. However, Zhuo Qianyun was still uneasy, "Will they take Xia Xi..." She was afraid that Xia Xi would not be able to protect herself if the Xia family harmed her. Ling Yiran said, "At least not in the short term. They’ll probably announce to the public that Xia Xi was transferred to another hospital to get better treatment." It was to stop them from visiting Xia Xi again. The Xia family seemed to think that delaying the matter a little longer would put it to rest. Zhuo Qianyun breathed a sigh of relief and looked gratefully at Ling Yiran. "Thank you for helping me. Though... I’m here, I can't seem to do anything. I just stay in the hotel almost every day." Ling Yiran said, "Just take good care of the baby and wait for the news. Besides, it's not just me. Ye Wenming is helping you too even though he doesn't talk about it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to enter the hospital and see Xia Xi so easily." Zhuo Qianyun's eyes dimmed at the mention of Ye Wenming. "What happened between you and Ye Wenming?" Ling Yiran asked as if she had sensed something. "Nothing. Nothing happened between him and me." Zhuo Qianyun forced a smile. "I should be glad nothing happened. Him not having any affection for me is exactly what I want, isn't it?"
