Chapter 285 - 286: That Young Lady Fell off the Cliff
But facts proved that she was overthinking it, there were moments when Di Mingjue was very rational.
Although his face was unusually pale, he eventually picked up his chopsticks and sat down.
Everyone had their own take on the dinner they just had.
After the meal, Gu Qibao and the others started to clean up, while Di Mingjue was the first to stand up and head to the yard.
Looking at Di Mingzhe who was coming out, he said, "Go home."
He really didn’t want to see his daughter-in-law suffering here and couldn’t help her at all, he couldn’t even comfort her.
This feeling was terribly uncomfortable and made him feel really useless, stifling, and distressed.
But Di Mingzhe didn’t say anything, he just looked vaguely in the direction of the left side of the yard.
Di Mingjue frowned and followed his gaze, wasn’t that the direction Di Xiaxia had run to?
Right, they hadn’t found Di Xiaxia yet.
Di Mingjue raised his eyebrows lightly, just about to say something, when he heard Di Mingzhe say, "Walk with me."
After saying this, he took the lead and walked out, with Di Mingjue following behind him.
On the way, the two were surprisingly silent the entire time. After a good while, Di Mingjue finally asked, "Are you going to look for Di Xiaxia?"
"Who told you I’m going to find her?" Di Mingzhe immediately denied it.
Di Mingjue: "..."
Di Mingjue wanted to say that this path seemed to lead straight to Di Xiaxia, right?
He originally intended to tease Di Mingzhe a bit, but seeing his serious expression, he decided not to.
Thinking about it, if Di Mingzhe truly did like Di Xiaxia, things could get a little complicated.
Firstly, Di Xiaxia didn’t like Di Mingzhe. As proud as Di Mingzhe was, he certainly couldn’t take such a hit to his pride.
That’s why he would never admit that he liked Di Xiaxia.
Secondly, Di Mingzhe’s current status posed another problem.
As the Vice President, getting involved with a girl who your family adopted could be awkward in certain ways.
He was just recently elected, with a three-year term and the potential for three consecutive terms, totaling nine years.
Moreover, there’s a possibility that he might further ascend to the position of President.
So...
So he had better not get involved in this matter.
Just as he was thinking this, the bodyguard who had gone after Di Xiaxia came running back in a hurry.
Di Mingjue had a bad feeling about this, could something have happened?
As expected, the bodyguard ran up with an anxious and respectful look on his face, "Something terrible has happened, Vice President, Miss fell off a cliff."
As soon as Di Mingzhe heard these words, his eyebrows furrowed instantly.
He didn’t waste any time, "Where? What happened? Don’t panic, explain calmly."
Although his words sounded calm, his expression was anything but.
Di Mingjue too hastened his pace to keep up.
The bodyguard quickly wiped off his sweat, "We were chasing after them to the foot of the mountain ahead. Just when we thought we were about to catch up to them, their skateboard turned out to be powered and capable of climbing the mountain. We chased after them up the mountain, but Miss accidentally fell off the cliff."
"How high is the cliff? What’s the terrain like? Has anyone gone down to rescue her?" Di Mingzhe asked calmly while striding forward, his demeanor betraying no signs of unease. But he tugged at his necktie furiously, pulling his collar wide open.
"Quite high," the bodyguard nodded apprehensively, "It looks like a crevice between mountains, it’s too deep to see the bottom and pretty rocky, mostly covered with low bushes, it’s very difficult to get down there from up here."
