By the time they left the ball, Su Mo had already sobered up. She refused to sit in the car and insisted on letting Xiao Nanye carry her.
"Brother, my legs are sore. Just carry me!"
Xiao Nanye would never reject Su Mo in such a situation, so he could only accept his fate and carry her on his back.
Xiao Nanye took off his coat and draped it over her. Carrying her on his back, he slowly walked back while the car followed him from a distance.
The original four days of travel had been dragged to a week because of the appearance of Su Mo.
After signing the contract with Stevenson, Xiao Nanye completed his mission this time and took Su Mo around as a tourist.
After playing for a few days, Su Mo bought a lot of souvenirs and said that she would take them back to give them away.
When they were about to go back, Su Mo was very active in packing her luggage. She had stayed outside for several years and had never missed home like this.
She suddenly missed Yu Garden and the dishes Aunt Liu cooked.
It was noon by the time they arrived at A City. When they got home, Su Mo did not eat anything. She took a shower and went to bed to catch up on sleep. Recently, Young Master Xiao had been bullying her every night, causing her to have a serious lack of sleep.
She didn't know if it was because her thoughts were too heavy recently. When she was asleep, Su Mo had a dream. She dreamed of a child who looked very similar to her.
In her dream, she panicked. When she heard the child coldly ask her why she did not want him, she suddenly woke up from her dream.
Because of the trip to San Francisco, Su Mo took a week off. When she went back to work, she brought the gifts she bought to Lin Xiaojuan and Wendy.
As for Jiang Shengze, who had come over after hearing the news, he only received a key ring as a souvenir.
Young Master Jiang wanted to cry but had no tears. He ran to Xiao Nanye and complained, "Boss, I find that your upbringing is not strict! The little white rabbit is becoming more and more indifferent to me now. I don't have a share in those gifts."
"I remember she bought a lot of souvenirs." Xiao Nanye looked up at him despite his busy schedule.
"Are you talking about this?" Jiang Shengze took the opportunity to take out the key ring with a face full of disdain. "Xiao Family's Eldest Young Madam gave her brother this gift? Bro, this is too shabby!"
Xiao Nanye was too lazy to look at Jiang Shengze. He lowered his head and said, "I think it's pretty good."
Jiang Shengze thought to himself, "This is pretty good?"
"Bro, you are too biased!" Jiang Shengze said with a constipated expression.
Not long after Su Mo returned, the advertising video was also put on the agenda. This matter was not a secret. Anyway, she was now a public spokesperson.
As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread.
To Su Mo's surprise, A City was not at the filming location this time.
Instead, it would be Provence of France, a place with a deep relationship with her. She never thought that there would be a chance to return here.
The shooting time was originally set for three days in the middle of April, just enough to avoid the golden week of May.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, but at this time, it was Su Mo who went on a business trip.
Xiao Nanye was a very possessive person. If not for the fact that he wanted to untie the knot in her heart, he wouldn't have asked her to advertise M Jewelry.
He did not want Su Mo to be so far away from him, but she comforted him instead, saying that it would be only three days, and that she would come back immediately after she finished shooting the commercial.
Originally, the three days were very short, and the filming progress was very fast. Everything was going smoothly.
However, at the night before she came back, after Su Mo received a phone call, she left the crew without even taking her luggage as if she went crazy.
When Xiao Nanye found out about this, the crew was already preparing to return to the country at the airport.
Out of the seven people who had gone abroad together, only Su Mo had not returned.
It was as if she had gone missing. Her phone couldn't be connected. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared from the world. No one knew where she had gone.
She had a habit of running away before, and it was probably because the two of them had gotten along too well during this period that Xiao Nanye had neglected her initial intention.
At the thought of her escaping again, Xiao Nanye felt his heart sink. After throwing the phone, he kicked over the coffee table in front of him, and the expensive tea set shattered on the ground.
When Jiang Shengze received the news and rushed to the company, Xiao Nanye had already asked someone to book the fastest flight to Provence. He wanted to find the person by himself.
"Boss, don't worry. Maybe my sister-in-law has some difficulties that she has no other choice." Jiang Shengze pulled him back.
Young Master Jiang obviously did not know how to comfort people. When Xiao Nanye heard these words, his face darkened even more.
He thought to himself, "What difficulties couldn't be told to me?
"Could it be that the words she said before she left are all lies?"
All of M Jewelry's projects were handled by Jiang Shengze, and he previously agreed to let Su Mo go to Provence to shoot the commercial.
Xiao Nanye was currently unhappy with Jiang Shengze, yet he still took the initiative to deliver himself to Xiao Nanye's doorstep.
The more Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Shengze, the angrier he got. He grabbed Jiang Shengze's hands which were pulling him back and he threw him to the ground. He shouted at him, "Naive Jiang! If you can't find Su Mo, I will throw you to the South Pole to feed the fish!"
Jiang Shengze fell to the ground and felt his internal organs shift. He pretended to be dead. After hearing these words, he wailed, "Bro, the fish in the South Pole are vegetarians!"
Xiao Nanye snorted, picked up his coat, and walked out.
After Ken received the call, he immediately arranged the matter. When Xiao Nanye went downstairs, Ken was already waiting at the entrance of the building.
"Boss."
Ken opened the door and Xiao Nanye got into the car. Without even returning home, he drove directly to the airport.
The most recent flight was two hours later. Xiao Nanye sat in the VIP waiting room of the airport and kept dialing Su Mo's phone, but what he heard was always the sound of a cold machine.
Although Xiao Nanye personally went to look for Su Mo, it was easier said than done to find her in such a big place like Provence.
Walking out of the airport, Xiao Nanye had regretted it for 101 times. He regretted returning Su Mo's identity documents to her.
He thought to himself, "This woman actually took things to run away. After finding her this time, I must break her legs and lock her at home. I will never believe her again."
As soon as he got off the plane, someone drove a car to pick him up.
Considering that this was France and his sphere of influence had not infiltrated this place at all, Xiao Nanye had someone drive the car directly to the police station and ask the local police to help find Su Mo.
Due to the orders from the higher-ups, they quickly found Su Mo's whereabouts. The last time she appeared was at Marseilles Airport, and then she disappeared.
As Xiao Nanye looked at the woman who came out of the airport, the coldness in his eyes almost froze.
He took a plane to Marseille overnight and searched the streets and alleys for a week, but there was no clue at all. He almost went to the newspaper office to stick up "Missing Person" notices.
During this week, Su Mo's phone could not be connected.
In fact, it was not that Su Mo did not answer the phone on purpose. It was just that she had left in a hurry. She had only brought her backpack with her. Her clothes and plug were all left in her luggage, which was in the hotel.
Just as Xiao Nanye arrived at Marseille, Su Mo found the charity house that had called her.
The director of the charity house told Su Mo that the family she had sponsored all these years had an accident half a year ago. Only a child was left.
The relatives were unwilling to take the child in, so they sent him to a charity house in the city.
This child seemed to have a psychological shadow. He didn't like to communicate with people. He always sat there quietly for a day.
The people of the charity house all felt sorry for the child who was so obedient and sensible. They were also very reassured about him. But two months ago, the child suddenly disappeared.
After such a thing happened, the charity house immediately called the police, but after so long, they still could not find the whereabouts of the child.
The people of the charity house blamed themselves. They learned from the child's parents' neighbors that this family had been sponsored in the past few years.
They felt that it was necessary to find this sponsor, so they found Su Mo's school through special channels and got her contact information.
Hearing that the child had been missing for more than two months, Su Mo was very worried, but there was nothing she could do.
After leaving the charity house, Su Mo felt as if her body had been hollowed out and her brain could no longer think.
The car opposite her was honking the horn, but she still walked in the middle of the road blankly. Accompanied by a harsh braking sound, she fell in front of the car.
Leo was the child that she had sponsored for so many years, but she had never seen that child. Even his name was only known to her when the director of the charity house had said it today.
Now that he had lost his parents and left the charity house, he should be wandering alone outside. When thinking of this, Su Mo felt her heart clench.
It was as if once she closed her eyes, she would be able to see his cold and hungry appearance.
She suddenly woke up from her dream.
When Su Mo woke up, she stared at the ceiling above her. She could not come back to her senses for a long time until she found that there was another pair of eyes looking at her in the room.
She turned around and saw the boy from back then who seemed to have never left. He sat on the sofa beside the bed and looked at her quietly.
"Brother Jin?"
Su Mo rubbed her eyes, feeling that she was hallucinating. She thought to herself, "How could I possibly see Lin Jinyao here?"
Hearing that familiar address, Lin Jinyao felt his heart twitch. He stood up and walked toward her. "You're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Unexpectedly, this person really was Lin Jinyao. Su Mo looked at him in shock and hurriedly got up, but because her body was too weak, she fell back.
Without the expected pain, she fell to a pair of arms.
When he caught her, Lin Jinyao's eyes were full of worry, but the blame in his tone was not so obvious. "Why don't you cherish yourself so much?"
Ever since he left the hotel that day, Su Mo had never heard such an intimate tone from him.
Thinking about the past ten years of pampering, she felt her nose twitch uncontrollably and her eyes turn red.
She wanted to call him, but when she thought that this person no longer remembered her, Su Mo bit her lower lip and did not dare to cry. "Why are you here?"
Seeing her ask so gingerly, Lin Jinyao felt extremely distressed.
He thought to himself, "Why am I here?"
He also wanted to know the answer.
Lin Jinyao held Su Mo's shoulder and placed a pillow behind her. He sat by the bed and looked at her. "You called my phone before you fainted."
After he said this, he kept looking at Su Mo as if he wanted to find the answer from her eyes.
Su Mo's reaction was beyond his expectations. She looked at him in surprise as if she had just found out about it.
