The day my remarriage was rejected, I got married to a billionaire CEO

In the setting sun, a group of children carrying schoolbags ran past Xiaoyu, laughing and playing, making her lonely figure seem less lonely.

Walking on the field path leading to the village, she looked up at the low houses and the curling smoke in the sunset. Then, she set her eyes on the gurgling stream and an old tree beside her.

This kind of rural scenery is originally a peaceful and beautiful picture, but because of the addition of a lonely figure and a person who is suffering from waiting, the tranquility has a little more anxiety and the beauty is less.

At the entrance of the village, a big yellow dog wagged its tail and looked into the distance, as if waiting for its owner to come home. A teenage child herded a flock of ducks and swaggered into an open wooden door.

"Aunt, where are you coming from?" a woman in her thirties asked an elder who had just returned from outside and was carrying a backpack.

"I went to the Xishan Temple to pray for your second uncle and draw a fortune." The woman in her fifties or sixties replied.

"Does it really work? What did the doctor say?" asked the young woman.

"The doctor said there was nothing he could do, so I went to the temple to try, and they said it worked."

"Today I saw two people fulfilling their vows. One was a son who had been abducted for more than ten years and was found. The other was a wife who had terminal cancer and recovered." said the second aunt.

"Really? That's great. There seems to be a church next to the temple. You can go there and pray, hoping that the gods will show up." The young woman said, walking in front with the child.

"It's really accurate. I specifically asked the two people who fulfilled their vows. They said that if they walked up the stone steps next to the temple, and kowtowed every nine steps, they would kowtow exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine times when they reached the top of the mountain." Second Aunt said.

"Did you do it?" the young woman asked.

"No, the mountain is too high and the steps are too steep. I am old, and I probably won't be able to come down after going up. Young people can try, they say it really works."

As the old man and the young man talked, they turned into two different courtyards on the left and right, while Xiaoyu continued walking along the path.

Passing through the village, the sky gradually darkened. The setting sun was sandwiched between two electric poles and was gradually swallowed up by the darkness.

Xiangyang's car followed Xiaoyu slowly. He knew that if he went further, he would reach the main road home.

The next morning, Xiaoyu quietly drove away from Longwan at daybreak. It was only 6:30 when she arrived at Xishan Temple, and the gate of the temple would not open until 7:30.

She parked her car in the parking lot in front of the temple, and then, carrying a black backpack, she walked around the temple and saw a stone staircase leading up the mountain.

She climbed the stairs, bowing every nine steps.

The sun slowly rose from the east, and when it was at its highest point, she looked up and could vaguely see the top of the mountain. She stood on the 8,001st step, took out a large bottle of mineral water, gulped down a few gulps, and continued to climb.

Apart from counting and silently reciting Ke Yongxin's name, she was focused on nothing else. She was afraid that if she thought too much, she would forget how many times she had counted. If she forgot how many times she had counted, she would forget when to kowtow and when to pray to the gods.

She didn't mind bowing and praying at every step, but that would mean she wouldn't be able to get the good number 999, and maybe it wouldn't work.

This side of Longwan.

Xiangyang called his eldest young lady early in the morning, but she didn't answer. He ran to the rose garden, but Chen's mother said she had never seen the eldest young lady.

He thought that the eldest young lady had walked all afternoon yesterday and might be tired, so she was still sleeping. He waited at the entrance of Longwan until nine o'clock, but he didn't see Xiaoyu.

He became a little anxious now, and hurried upstairs and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out to open it.

What a coincidence, Sister Zhang usually cleans Xiaoyu's house in the morning, but this morning after she sent Duoduo to kindergarten, she rushed to clean other places.

Because Xiaoyu told her last night that she would go out early this morning and would not be home at night. She could clean in the morning or in the afternoon. As long as she didn't delay picking up Duoduo in the afternoon and taking care of Duoduo, it would be fine.

He put his ear to the door and listened carefully for a while, but there was no movement inside. He ran to the underground parking lot and found that Xiaoyu's car was gone.

"Where would she go?" Xiang Yang thought and called Ke Zhengjie.

"Hello, Mr. Ke! Is the eldest young lady at the old house?" Xiangyang asked.

"No, you're not with her?" Ke Zhengjie asked.

"No, no one answered her phone, no one was at home, and her car was missing." Xiangyang said anxiously.

"Where did you go after leaving the company yesterday?" Ke Zhengjie asked.

Xiang Yang told the other party roughly what happened when they went to the industrial zone yesterday, and added: "I felt that the eldest young lady was in a very low mood last night. It was the worst day in the past few days."

"Go to the kindergarten and see if Duoduo is there?" Ke Zhengjie reminded.

Xiang Yang slapped his forehead and said, "How could I forget this? Okay, I'll go ask now."

He hung up the phone and walked quickly towards the kindergarten.

"Teacher, did Duoduo come to class today?" Xiangyang asked the teacher.

"What is Duoduo's full name?" asked the teacher.

"This, I really don't know. She is a little over three years old, and her mother's name is Xia Xiaoyu. Because I had something urgent to tell her mother, no one answered her phone, and no one was at home." Xiangyang said as he took out his ID card.

"Okay, I understand. Duoduo came to class today, but she was brought here by her nanny," said the teacher.

"Teacher, could you please help me check if this is the phone number her mother left? Or see if she has left any other contact information for you?" Xiangyang asked.

"This is the phone number she left, but she also left Duoduo's father's phone number. I'll look for it for you," said the teacher.

Xiangyang took Duoduo's father's phone number and saw that it was Ke Shao's. He thanked the teacher and left the kindergarten.

As soon as I walked out of the kindergarten gate, Ke Zhengjie called.

"How is it?" asked Ke Zhengjie.

"Duoduo is in the kindergarten. The nanny brought her here. Mr. Ke, do you have the nanny's contact information?" Xiangyang asked.

"No, think about what she said to you yesterday, or in the past few days. Did she say where to find Ke Yongxin?" Ke Zhengjie reminded.

"Mr. Ke, Children's Day is the day after tomorrow. Didn't you say that Young Master Ke is attending a closed training and will be back in a week? You know where Young Master Ke is, right?" Xiang Yang asked softly.

"This is not something you should worry about. Your task is to ensure the safety of your eldest young lady. Think carefully about where she will go." Ke Zhengjie said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Ke, the eldest young lady is so pitiful..." Xiang Yang said.

"Shut up, go find her quickly, and tell me as soon as you find her." Ke Zhengjie said sternly.
