Not long after the car drove out, Lu Ziyou saw Xiao Yingze sitting in the passenger seat with a solemn expression, his brows furrowed, and his eyes filled with anxiety and worry, and he asked anxiously.
Xiao Yingze let out a long sigh and said.
"My eldest brother had a car accident in England."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yingze glanced at Lu Ziyou, whose expression changed slightly in surprise, and did not continue. There were many cars on the road at this time. He was afraid that Lu Ziyou would panic as soon as he finished speaking, so he calmed down a little.
He said after feeling nervous.
"Du Zifeng called me directly. Mom and dad don't know yet. I have to go back and discuss it with them. I guess I have to go to England."
When Lu Ziyou heard this, he knew that the situation was serious, and without asking anyone else, he stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out. More than 20 minutes later, they returned to Haotianju.
At this time, Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou had just finished eating and were walking in the back garden. When they heard the sound of parking in front of them, they walked around to the front yard and saw Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou getting out of the car.
"Yingze, Youyou, why did you come here at this time? Have you eaten?"
Mo Yurou was a little surprised when she saw Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou coming back together, but as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that something was not right about the expressions of these two people.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Xiao Yingze had already recovered some sense from the shock and nervousness just now. He did not immediately tell what happened about Mas Nian. Instead, he walked up to Mo Yurou, supported her gently and said.
"Mommy, let's go in first and talk."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze helped Mo Yurou walk to the villa. Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen looked at each other and then entered the villa together.
After Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou entered, they sat down with solemn expressions. Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou felt a little worried when they saw their expressions.
"Yingze, what's going on? Don't scare mommy with your expressions."
At this time, the servant at home brought them a glass of water. Xiao Yingze drank a few sips of water, then looked up at Xiao Zichen, thought for a moment and said with a serious face.
"Daddy, Mommy, I just received a call from Assistant Du. Brother, something happened."
"Something happened? What happened? Isn't your eldest brother in Nanyun?"
As soon as Xiao Yingze finished speaking, Mo Yurou hurriedly asked, but Xiao Zichen on the side was relatively calm. He took Mo Yurou's hand and said softly.
"Yurou, don't be impatient. Let Yingze finish what he has to say."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen looked up at Xiao Yingze and said firmly.
"If you have any questions, just tell me directly. Your parents have never seen anything like this."
Although Xiao Zichen said this, the expression on his face still betrayed him. Although he had gone through great storms, it was about his own child, so how could he not be worried at all.
"Daddy, my eldest brother went to the UK to discuss a project. Today, he had a car accident on the way to the airport. He and his car fell into the sea. His life or death is still uncertain."
As soon as these words came out, not only Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou were stunned, but even Lu Ziyou, who already knew that Mas Nian had a car accident, was also stunned. She did not expect that the matter would be so serious.
"What does life and death mean? Why did he go to England when he was fine? Yingze, did you make a mistake?"
Mo Yurou's face turned pale, she felt ten years older in an instant, and she asked with a trembling voice.
Lu Ziyou on the side was holding Xiao Yingze's hand tightly at this moment. She couldn't believe her ears, but when she saw Xiao Yingze's serious expression, she knew that he was not joking.
"Call Du Zifeng."
At this time, Xiao Zichen said, Xiao Yingze did not hesitate, took out his mobile phone and dialed Du Zifeng's number. It seemed that the person there had been waiting for his call, and the call was answered immediately.
"Hey, Second Young Master, do the chairman and his wife know?"
"Assistant Du, this is Xiao Zichen. What's going on? Why don't we know about Si Nian's trip to England?"
Xiao Zichen asked in a deep voice on the phone. Even though he tried hard to control it, he was still trembling.
Du Zifeng was slightly startled when he heard Xiao Zichen's voice. He still had a sense of awe for this chairman who rarely appeared in the group, but thinking of Masnian's explanation, he still mustered up the courage to say.
"Chairman, the boss is here to discuss the supply of raw materials for a beauty product. He was planning to report to you after the work is completed. He was originally going back to Nanyun tonight, but he didn't expect that the brakes of the car failed on the way and it rushed into the sea.
.”
Du Zifeng had rehearsed these words in his mind countless times, and even through the phone, Xiao Zichen and the others didn't hear any flaws.
At this time, both sides of the phone fell into silence for a long time. Mo Yurou was already worried and began to cry silently. Over the years, her heart has become softer and softer. As long as something happens to the children, she will easily get emotional.
Xiao Zichen said into the phone while hugging Mo Yurou.
"Is there no news at all from the UK? Has the car been fished out? Where is the driver in the car?"
"The driver jumped out of the car when he saw that the car was malfunctioning. He only suffered some superficial injuries. However, the boss fell asleep and did not have time to jump out of the car. He is now missing. The British side is still vigorously salvaging it. I have booked the earliest trip to the UK.
Ticket, boarding in two hours.”
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen suddenly felt very weak, and finally sighed.
"I understand, please contact us immediately if there is any progress."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen hung up the phone, turned around and looked at his wife who was crying silently, with a worried look on his face, and then looked up at Xiao Yingze. Before Xiao Zichen could speak, Xiao Yingze had already spoken.
"Dad, I know. I will book a flight immediately and rush to England as soon as possible. I believe that my eldest brother Jiren has his own destiny. He has been able to swim since he was a child, so he will be fine."
Xiao Zichen couldn't think of a better way now. After all, he was not in China, so he could only nod.
"Then we will wait for your news at home. Remember, we must bring your eldest brother back."
Speaking of this, Xiao Zichen paused, looked sideways at Mo Yurou, and said again.
"If you want to see a person alive or a corpse if you die, I, the children of the Xiao family, cannot disappear inexplicably."
Xiao Yingze stood up immediately and nodded firmly.
"Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely bring my eldest brother back and he will be fine."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze turned and walked towards the door. While walking, he called to inquire about the earliest flight, but when he reached the door, he stopped again.
"Daddy, Mommy, don't tell Luo Luo about eldest brother for now. She finally decided to let go of the past. If she knew something happened to eldest brother at this time, I don't know what she would do."
I have to say that the only thing in this family that people don't have to worry about is the second child, who can always think carefully at critical moments.
With Xiao Yingxi's character, if she knew that something happened to Mas Nian at this time, she would probably run directly to England, and the already fragile relationship between her and Gu Jinmo would probably fall apart.
When Xiao Zichen heard his son's words, he nodded happily and said.
"I know what to do with Luoluo. Fortunately, the two of them have never been in contact."
Everyone didn't know whether to be happy or sad when he said this.
Afterwards, Xiao Yingze left Haotianju in a hurry, and of course Lu Ziyou left with him.
It was Lu Ziyou who was still driving. Hearing that Xiao Yingze was booking a flight to England, Lu Ziyou said without thinking.
"I'll accompany you."
Xiao Yingze was slightly startled, and just when he was about to decide, Lu Ziyou said something else.
"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and book a flight. Don't you have my passport number? It would be nice to have one more person there to take care of you. After all, I have stayed in the UK for a few years and am more familiar with it than you."
Several of them had the experience of studying in the UK, but Xiao Yingze had never been to the UK. When Lu Ziyou went to the UK, he also wanted to go to school there, but in the end he followed his family's arrangements and went.
The United States, and for so many years, every time their family traveled abroad, they always seemed to avoid the United Kingdom.
When Lu Ziyou said this, Xiao Yingze did not hesitate and directly booked two first-class tickets to the UK at the earliest, and then said softly.
"Yuyou, thank you."
"We are all a family, why are you so polite? I will go back and pack up later and then go to the airport. Your novel these days..."
Speaking of this, Lu Ziyou paused for a moment, wondering if it was a little unkind to think about this at this time, so he added another sentence.
"Forget it, I'll write a leave announcement the day after tomorrow, and you can handle the boss's affairs with peace of mind these days."
Unexpectedly, just as Lu Ziyou finished speaking, Xiao Yingze said something.
"It's okay. I still have some manuscripts in hand. Bring your computer with you later. If you keep updating, you won't be able to report it to the publisher."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze picked up the phone and dialed Du Zifeng's number.
Du Zifeng had actually arrived at the airport. The two of them discussed it and agreed to contact each other when they arrived in the UK. After a while, they arrived at Yayuan.
Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou hurriedly packed some luggage and rushed to England. At ten o'clock in the evening, they boarded the plane to England.
"You should rest for a while."
Not long after the plane took off, Lu Ziyou was about to take a rest, but she saw Xiao Yingze taking out his laptop and starting to code there. Lu Ziyou was worried that Xiao Yingze would collapse from exhaustion, so she spoke to persuade him.
But Xiao Yingze shook his head and said.
"If you don't let me do something at this time, I will think randomly. You can go to sleep. We have to fly for fifteen or six hours. I will rest when I am tired."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze also thoughtfully covered Lu Ziyou with a blanket and dimmed the night light beside her.
Seeing Xiao Yingze, who was obviously worried but still so calm, Lu Ziyou fell into a trance for once.
He is only twenty-three years old, and he has always been her younger brother in her eyes, but when it comes to major events, this man can always take charge of everything.
He may seem like a bohemian man, but his mind is more delicate than that of a woman, and he considers things extremely thoughtfully.
Xiao Yingze felt Lu Ziyou's burning eyes. If it were in the past, he might have made a joke, but now, he just said it softly.
