The CEO's Wife and First Love

As soon as Lizhen got up in the morning, her cell phone rang. "Madam, has Chairman Cheng come back? Why didn't he call me?" Hongliang's American friend called her in English.

"No, what happened to his business trip this time? He didn't call me from the day before yesterday. I didn't dare to call him because I was afraid he was busy. It's never like this before. My eyelids were twitching last night. I wanted to call him this morning." When Lizhen heard that it was Hongliang calling from the United States, she couldn't wait to ask his friend.

"That shouldn't be the case. He boarded the plane last night and I was the one who sent him on. That's strange. He should have been home today," Hongliang's friend said puzzledly.

"What are you talking about? He took a plane last night and should be home today. Let me call him later to check." Lizhen heard that Hongliang took a plane last night and was almost home.

After hanging up the phone, Lizhen immediately called Hongliang, but the call was not connected. Lizhen began to panic. She didn't know what to do. She immediately called her assistant Xiao Wang and asked, "Has your chairman received the chairman's call?"

"No, isn't he still in the United States and won't be back for a few days?" Xiao Wang told the chairman that he would be back in a week.

"That's bad. His American friend said he boarded a plane back home last night, but we haven't seen him yet. What should we do?" Li Zhen was very anxious.

At this time, Lizhen's phone rang again. "Hello, Gene."

"Ma'am, something bad happened. Chairman Cheng had an accident on the plane he was on. I just found out about this now," Gene told Lizhen anxiously.

"What did you say?" It seemed as if millions of bees were buzzing in Lizhen's head, and she felt her world collapse in an instant.

Her legs went weak, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she almost lost her balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, she grabbed the table next to her in time and managed to stabilize herself.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Gene knew that Lizhen must be feeling very uncomfortable.

"Has it been announced how many survivors there are?" Li Zhen asked after taking a breath.

"Not yet. We're still searching and rescuing. I'll inform you when I have any news." Gene was also very sad.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news," Lizhen replied to Gene in a crying voice.

"Something might have happened to Chairman Xiao Wang, but we have to block the news now. We must not let anyone know that something has happened to the Chairman." Li Zhen held back her emotions. She was thinking about how to stabilize the company and prevent the news from leaking out.

"Madam I know" assistant Xiao Wang was shocked when he heard this and didn't say anything for a long time. He only came to his senses after hearing Li Zhen's reminder.

Lizhen was exhausted at this moment and didn't even have the strength to fight.

She stared at the ceiling blankly, her eyes empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all hope and strength. However, although her body was exhausted, her heart was overwhelmed by endless pain.

Tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes like a flood, and slid down her cheeks.

Every tear represented the unspeakable sadness and despair in her heart. They gathered into a tear mark, soaking the pillow.

She cried weakly, her voice low and hoarse, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances and pains.

She thought that if the plane crashed, Hongliang's hope of survival would be very slim, so what should I do?

Hubby, why is our life so hard? We have been through so much, suffered so much, and our happy life has just begun, but you, she doesn’t, “No, Hongliang will be fine.

"Lizhen said to herself, she clenched her fists tightly, as if to cheer herself up.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. Hongliang had bought her an insurance policy before. If he really encountered misfortune, she could get a huge compensation.

But what is the meaning of this money to her? Without Hongliang, her life will become empty and lonely.

Lizhen took a deep breath and decided not to think about it for the time being. She had to be strong, for Hongliang and for herself.

She wiped her tears, got up, washed, and prepared to go to the company to handle business. No matter what, life must go on. Just as she was about to go down, tears kept flowing out.

"Madam, I have prepared breakfast." The housekeeper Uncle Liu saw that Li had not come downstairs for breakfast so late, so he went upstairs to call her for breakfast.

"Uncle Liu, please send the young master and the young lady to class today. I'm not feeling well." Li Zhen thought that the children still had to go to school.

"Okay, madam." Uncle Liu wondered what happened to madam. She was fine yesterday.

"Mrs. Liu, have the young master had breakfast? Tell them to have breakfast and I will take them to school."

"They have all finished eating," Mrs. Liu replied immediately, but she was thinking in her heart, what happened to the Madam today? The Madam is a very responsible person. Every time Hongliang and the housekeeper go to send the children to school, she has to send the children to school herself, only then she feels at ease.

Is the madam not feeling well? Otherwise, she gets up very early every day and takes special care of the breakfast of the two children. Sometimes she even prepares breakfast for the children herself.

Uncle Liu hurried upstairs to ask Lizhen, because when Hongliang left, she told Uncle Liu that he was not at home and asked her to take good care of her madam.

Mrs. Liu came upstairs and saw that Lizhen had not gotten up. She was still lying on the bed, looking very painful. She was shocked and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor?"

"No, I want to lie down for a while." Lizhen spoke with a crying voice.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" Uncle Liu heard Lizhen's crying voice, so she didn't dare to ask more. She had to run downstairs to call the old lady.

Lizhen thought of various possibilities at this time. Maybe Hongliang could come back safely, but if the plane really crashed, the possibility of survival would be slim. If this was really the case, what should she do?

The more Lizhen thought about it, the more scared she became. She couldn't imagine what life would be like without Hongliang. She decided not to just sit there and wait for death, and she would take the initiative to find Hongliang's whereabouts.

She endured the physical discomfort, got up and began to collect information about Hongliang's flight, and contacted the airline and relevant departments.

At the same time, she mobilized all the power around her, hoping to get some clues.

While waiting for the news, time seemed to be stretched, and every minute and every second became particularly long.

Lizhen became more and more anxious. She felt like an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

She paced back and forth, her hands clenched tightly together, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

Her mind was full of thoughts, flashing through her mind like a movie.

She recalled every moment she spent with her husband, and those warm moments and sweet memories made her heart heavier.

She was worried about his safety and afraid of losing him. She imagined all kinds of possible scenarios, each of which made her feel terrified and helpless.

Her heart was filled with self-blame. If she had advised her husband more, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Lizhen's eyes kept appearing with her husband's smile, gentle eyes and meticulous care for her.

These beautiful memories now became a thorn in her heart, making her burst into tears.

She didn't know what the future would be like, nor how she would face the rest of her life. But no matter what, she knew she had to be strong, and she couldn't fall down for the sake of her family and children.

Whether Hongliang is a bad omen or a good omen, Lizhen can't calm down...
