CHAPTER 233
"My mummy is not here. She or the driver has not come to pick me up."
"What? But they have never been this late. They gave never been late except one time," Teacher Song said in shock.
"I know. I am worried. I want to go home," Bai Xiaojin said.
"You will. I will make sure of it. I have your mother's phone number. Wait for a while as I call her, okay?" He said to calm Bai Xiaojin.
"Okay."
Teacher Song tapped on his phone a few times before placing his phone by his ears. After a while, he removed it.
"Her phone is switched off," he said much to Bai Xiaojin's hearing.
When he raised his head to look at Bai Xiaojin, he could see that the boy was on the verge of crying. His brain quickly put itself to use as ge thought of what next to do.
"Ah! Apart from your mother's phone number, do you know any other? Like anyone apart from her?" Teacher Song asked.
"Yes. My grandma. I know her number," Bai Xiaojin said after some thoughts.
"Well, then that is great. Here, daily the number and give her a call," Teacher Song said and passed his phone to Bai Xiaojin.
After a few rings, the call got connected and he placed it on speaker Jiang Meilin's voice rang out from the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, grandma."
"Oh, hi honey. How are you? You know, you have never called me when you are with your mummy. Did you miss me so much today?" She asked with a cheerful voice.
"Hmm," Bai Xiapjon nodded.
"I miss you too. But this is not your mummy's number. Gasp. Did she get you a phone already?"
"No. I am not with mummy. Wuuu! Grandma, I am still in school," Bai Xiaojin burst into tears.
"WHAT?! School at this time? It is past two already. Where is that driver Jun?" Jiang Meilin erupted.
"I don't know. Grandma, I want to go home."
"Hello, ma'am. I am Bai Xiaojin's classteacher," Teacher Song introduced himself.
"Oh, yes. Please can you help me take care of my grandson? I am sending someone over to the school to pick him up," Jiang Meilin said.
"Are you sure about that? The school is totally empty and the security man is about to close the gates of the school," Teacher Song informed her.
"Oh dear! The house from the school is quite a distance," she murmured worriedly.
"Oh! Why don't you send me your home's address so that I can take Bai Xiaojin home? It maybtkae a lot of time before you can get here since your residence is far from here," he suggested.
"Really? You can do that?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Alright. I will take your words up for it. Please take good care of my grandson and thank you so so much," she thanked.
"There is no problem. You are welcome. I will wait for the address then."

"Come on, Bai Xiaojin. Let us go. I will be taking you home," Teacher Song said after the call.
"What about my mummy and uncle Jun?" Bai Xiaojin asked between his sobs.
"I don't know about them. But we need to get you home first, okay?"
"Hmm."
Meanwhile, Xia Xinyi had nit seen or heard from her body, Bai Renxiang. They were supposed to go to the new hotel after her meeting but she never came back to the office or even called.
Xia Xinyi had to go alone and apologised on Bai Renxiang's behalf. After that, she returned to the company but Bai Renxiang had not arrived.
She asked Jinhai if Bai Renxiang had cone to the office and left and ge said no. Xia Xinyi was starting to get worried.
"Maybe she went to pick up little master Xiaojin and they have done home. Yes, that should be she case," she talked to herself as she paced around her office.
Just then, her thoughts were interrupted by the loud ringing if her phone. She paused in her steps and turned to gaze at her home in the table.
"Madam Jiang," she whispered. With the sored of light, Xia Xinyi rushed to her table to pick the phone.
"Hello, ma'am. Good afternoon, ma'am," she greeted her.
"Good afternoon. Uhm, Xia Xinyi, is my daughter still at the office?" Jiang Meilin asked.
"Huh? No. The boss is not in the office. She left since then this morning and had not returned. I thought she went to pick up little master Xiaojin and they are at home," Xia Xinyi said the last part in a whisper as realisation began to dawn on her.
If Jiang Meilin called to ask if her daughter's whereabouts at the office, that only means that she us not at home either.
"No, she is not at home and she did not go to pick Xiaojin either. Do you know where these she might have done off to?"
"No, ma'am."
"Sigh. Alright, then. I will hang up. If she calls you or anything, please let me know, okay?"
"I will, ma'am. Have a nice day."
"I can't have a nice day," Jiang Meilin said after the call. She was already having a bad feeling about this whole thing. Jiang Meilin sighed as she massage her forehead.
"What did she say?" Shin asked.
"Bai Renxiang us not at ttr office either. Where could my daughter be? Something is wrong. I can feel it and I don't like this bad feeling," she said.
"Don't think if something bad. Maybe she just wants to be alone and went somewhere quiet," Shane thought out.
"No! Bai Renxiang hardly wants to be alone. If there is anything she gates, it is going somewhere away from everyone to be alone," Jiang Meilin half yelled.
"She would have called me at least. Even if she wants to be alone, she would have sent the driver to pick up Xiaojin or called to tell Shane. I'm scared."
