Chapter 255 Complete Collapse
Lan Yaoxia did not drive straight to the group headquarters as instructed. Instead, she drove to the bottom of her apartment building located in a busy area in the city.
After parking the car, I walked into the elevator with slightly heavy steps and finally arrived at the door.
Inside the house, the living room, which should have been filled with a warm atmosphere, was now filled with an unusual silence.
Pei Shan was seen sitting quietly on the soft and comfortable sofa, looking absent-minded.
Even when the sumptuous breakfast carefully prepared by the nanny and emitting an enticing aroma was placed in front of her, she did not move at all.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the slight and crisp sound of a door opening.
Hearing the sound, Pei Shan jumped up from her seat like a startled bird and ran towards the door.
However, when the door slowly opened, only Lan Yaoxia appeared in front of him. As for his long-awaited precious daughter, there was no trace of her.
"Lan Yaoxia! Where is my daughter?"
Pei Shan widened her red and swollen eyes and asked anxiously, her voice even trembling a little.
Obviously, she could no longer suppress her longing for her child from deep in her heart.
Faced with her excited reaction, Lan Yaoxia couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, but she still tried to calm down and comforted her: "Pei Shan, don't worry..."
"In fact, things are not as bad as you think."
"I have gone home and asked clearly, my parents just want to see their granddaughter in person"
"That's why I specifically asked my sister to take the child home temporarily."
"And I heard from them that I need to bring my daughter to my grandfather's place tomorrow, and he will personally give the little one a good name!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring our daughter back to you safely the day after tomorrow."
However, when these words reached Pei Shan's ears, they were involuntarily given a hint of deception.
It was as if there was an invisible force that prevented her from fully believing the truth of it.
However, Lan Yaoxia failed to bring her daughter back as promised. This incident was like the last straw that broke the camel's back and dealt a heavy blow to Pei Shan.
At this moment, Pei Shan had fallen into deep despair and her emotions had completely collapsed.
The long period of crying made the already inflamed throat even drier and more painful.
She even found it difficult to cry, as if all the sadness and pain were locked away deep in her heart.
It seemed as if the tears had all run out and could no longer flow out.
Pei Shan's legs also lost the strength to support themselves at this time, and she sat limply on the cold ground.
It was as if the soul had been sucked out by an invisible force, and all vitality had been lost, as lifeless as a walking corpse.
Witnessing this scene, Lan Yaoxia was extremely anxious.
He quickly picked her up and hugged her tightly, then walked quickly towards the bedroom.
After entering the room, he gently placed her on the bed.
"Pei Shan, please believe me again! I swear to you that I will bring our daughter back safely the day after tomorrow!"
Lan Yaoxia said this in a firm tone, but Pei Shan seemed unable to hear anything at this moment.
Her originally bright eyes now became dull, empty and lifeless, as if she had lost hope in life.
Looking at Pei Shan's heartbreaking state, Lan Yaoxia felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
He gently helped her take off her slippers, and then carefully covered her with a warm quilt, his movements as gentle as if he was protecting a precious treasure.
Just then, a quick phone call suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.
Lan Yaoxia picked up the phone and saw Gao Ming's name on the screen.
He took a deep breath and pressed the answer button, only to hear Gao Ming's anxious voice: "President, have you not arrived at the group yet?"
“Important meeting about Project A starts in twenty minutes!”
Lan Yaoxia frowned and felt increasingly depressed.
He knew that this meeting was crucial, but at this moment, he really couldn't leave Pei Shan alone.
In desperation, he could only decisively refuse and said, "Gao Ming, let's postpone this meeting for the time being."
"I'll tell you the exact time..."
Before he could finish his words, Gao Ming said anxiously: "President, your father is also watching this Project A."
"He just called to ask me how the progress is. President, why don't you come over here?"
Is your father also paying attention to this project?
This really blocked her way. If something went wrong with Project A because of her, I was afraid her father would really not tolerate Pei Shan.
"Okay, I get it"
"The meeting has been postponed for half an hour. I will rush over right away."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Pei Shan with apology.
"Get some rest first, I'll come over in the evening, don't worry about me running away"
After walking into the hall, the nanny stepped forward and pointed to a table of breakfast and said, "Master, what if she doesn't eat?"
"Cook some porridge and send it to her room. Also, her throat is inflamed, so give her some more water."
This made the nanny feel awkward, and she said hesitantly, "Master, what if she refuses to eat or drink?"
Lan Yaoxia had enough worries that day, and her temper became increasingly irritable.
"It's fine if she doesn't want to eat, but if she doesn't want to drink water, you have to force her to drink it."
After speaking, he left.
The nanny was still standing there.
Pouring? That's too offensive.
What if the woman in the room starts to whisper in the young master's ear in the future, what will happen to my job?
In the bedroom——
"Liar, Lan Yaoxia, you are lying"
Compared to here, the Lan family is full of joy now.
They all gathered around Jiaojiao and looked at her, making her laugh out loud.
In the evening, the setting sun dyed half the sky red like blood. Lan Yaoxia dragged her slightly tired body and slowly walked into the apartment building.
When he stepped into the door, the nanny who had been waiting there immediately came forward with a warm and enthusiastic smile on her face, and said softly: "Master, you are finally back!"
Lan Yaoxia nodded slightly, but her eyes went straight past the nanny and fell on the closed bedroom door not far away.
Frowning, he asked anxiously, "Did she eat anything today?"
The nurse shook her head helplessly, sighed and replied, "Alas, Master, she still refuses to eat anything."
"I made her a bowl of hot porridge, but she didn't even look at it... She did drink some water, but only half a cup."
After saying this, the nanny couldn't help but sigh worriedly.
When Lan Yaoxia heard this, her heart tightened and her worry was evident on the surface.
After a moment's silence, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Pei Shan's bedroom, with a complicated look in his eyes.
