Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door-Chapter 410: The Worst Plan

Liu Xiue murmured, "Is it possible? Could it really be this serious?"

Shi Yang took a sharp breath, his face suddenly anxious and pale. He urgently asked, "Aunt, do you have phone numbers from back home? Like big aunt’s or second aunt’s, anyone’s will do. Tell them to hurry to the airport and stop my uncle. This is really no joke! If those people really take him away, it’ll be a hassle even to call the police to save him because you won’t even know where they’re hiding him!"

Liu Xiue, upon hearing Shi Yang’s words, finally realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly took out her phone to search for numbers. Fearing she couldn’t explain clearly, she handed the phone to Shi Yang after dialing.

Shi Yang explained the whole situation to Zhao Meimei’s big aunt and second aunt separately. Zhao Meimei’s big aunt got anxious over the phone, and Shi Yang could hear her shouting at her husband through the phone to quickly catch a cab to the airport to intercept.

Zhao Meimei’s second aunt was also a fiery one. She first furiously scolded her always gentle and obedient little sister, then angrily planned to take a leave from work to personally go to the airport to pick up Zhao Dazhuang.

With everything arranged and no other solutions, Shi Yang and Liu Xiue could only anxiously and helplessly wait for news together.

Shi Yang had already made up his mind. As soon as news came from home saying they hadn’t intercepted Zhao Dazhuang, he would immediately call the police and book a plane ticket to personally go and rescue him.

Liu Xiue’s eyes turned red from anxiety, and she kept blaming herself, saying, "It’s all my fault for being confused. Why didn’t I think to stop him? I really didn’t expect things to be this serious back then..."

Shi Yang, while searching for flight booking information, comforted, "It’s not anyone’s fault here; we’re all anxious to save him. Things haven’t reached the worst point yet, Aunt, so don’t get too worked up and damage your health."

Liu Xiue was too worried about Zhao Dazhuang’s safety. She sat on the sofa, her chest throbbing with dull pain, her mind blank, unable to think. She could only stare at her phone, hoping it would ring soon.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, suddenly a phone started ringing, and both of them froze.

Shi Yang took a glance at his phone and said to Liu Xiue, "It’s Meimei’s call."

Upon hearing it was Zhao Meimei, Liu Xiue’s previously muddled brain instantly cleared up, quickly saying, "Don’t tell Meimei about this just yet."

Shi Yang nodded in agreement and answered the phone, "Hey, sweetie."

Zhao Meimei cheerfully called out, "Bro, what are you doing?"

Shi Yang replied, "Working. You on break after class?"

Zhao Meimei reported, "Yeah, just finished class. Bro, we have a new foreign teacher in our department; apparently, they’re going to teach us oral English later on."

Shi Yang, "Really? Isn’t that a good thing!"

Excitedly, Zhao Meimei said, "Yeah, I wonder what the foreign teacher looks like; I’m so curious. Plus, isn’t Mr. Zhang the one who used to teach oral and listening courses? I won’t have to take her oral class anymore."

That was Zhao Meimei’s main joy.

Since the last meal together, Zhang Jiahui hadn’t actively sought out Zhao Meimei, and in the vast campus, even in the same department, unless they were in class together, it was hard to meet. Opportunities for casual encounters were rare unless planned.

Even though they had fewer opportunities to interact, Zhang Jiahui remained Zhao Meimei’s main course teacher, with at least six classes a week. Regular encounters were inevitably awkward.

Zhao Meimei was completely oblivious to Shi Yang’s overly gentle tone suggesting something unusual, as she happily said, "I’ve decided that when the foreign teacher arrives, I’ll actively speak to him to improve my speaking skills. Bro, you don’t know how worried I was at the foreign language school before, hearing Liu Wenjing’s strongly accented English. I’ve always been anxious about my pronunciation, but this time, I must seize the opportunity to practice well."

Listening to Zhao Meimei’s enthusiastic chatter, Shi Yang felt a mix of emotions, genuinely worried about Zhao Dazhuang’s possible accident. He was extremely anxious, wanting to prepare Zhao Meimei in advance in case the unexpected happened, but he couldn’t reach her...

They waited anxiously until 3:30 in the afternoon, one hour past the scheduled landing time, but neither Zhao Meimei’s big aunt nor second aunt had called.

Shi Yang panicked and quickly called them. The answers on both ends were the same; Zhao Dazhuang got off the plane but hadn’t turned on his phone.

Zhao Dazhuang’s flight coincidentally had a famous star onboard, who didn’t opt for first class but squeezed into the economy class. Upon arriving, the passengers and fans caused chaos as they surrounded the star. The airport was packed with people everywhere. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Neither Zhao Meimei’s big uncle nor second aunt found Zhao Dazhuang; they weren’t even aware the other was at the airport. They never saw each other.

Liu Xiue’s long-controlled emotions burst uncontrollably as she desperately grabbed Shi Yang and asked, "Yangyang, what should we do?"

Shi Yang, "Aunt, don’t worry. I’m booking a plane ticket right now; I’ll definitely bring my uncle back safe."

Shi Yang quickly paid for the pre-selected plane ticket, then started calling to arrange work affairs, carefully noting down the addresses and contacts of relatives back home.

It was no longer possible to hide it from Zhao Meimei, so Shi Yang planned to message her before boarding the plane to inform her about the situation.

After arranging everything, Shi Yang hugged Liu Xiue and comfortingly patted her back, "Aunt, don’t worry. I’m here; uncle will be fine."

Shi Yang, without bothering to pack, left for the airport with just his wallet and phone.

The plane was scheduled to take off in an hour and a half. After obtaining his ticket, Shi Yang shared his boarding and arrival times with Liu Xiue, comforted her again, and hung up.

After the call, Shi Yang sent information to Zhao Meimei casually, avoiding the details of the situation’s risks. He summed it up briefly and sent another reassuring text, genuinely worried about Zhao Meimei, fearing she’d worry too much.

Shi Yang kept his phone on, afraid to miss any messages.

His trip was too rushed, everything done in real-time, contacting tasks as they arose. Qu Chaozong, alarmed by the call, insisted on accompanying him but was stopped by Shi Yang. He was advised to stay at the company handling urgent matters, with some tasks temporarily assigned to him.

Qu Chaozong couldn’t argue with Shi Yang and repeatedly urged him to take care of himself, stressing self-preservation first if things went awry.
