After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: The Lu Family is in a Complete Frenzy

11 o’clock at night.

At this time, the Lu Family, all gathered around the living room sofa, looked more anxious and solemn than one another.

Or rather, the older ones could still maintain their calm composure, while the youngest could hardly sit still anymore.

In the living room, Lu Youye put down his phone for the Nth time, and for the (N+1)th time lifted his eyes to look at his eldest brother Lu Jingyan.

Those puppy-dog eyes were so frantic they were becoming red.

"Big brother, Shengsheng’s phone is still unreachable. It’s so late, and she hasn’t come home yet. Where could she have gone?"

Lu Jingyan, with equally furrowed brows, sighed, "I’ve already called a few of her friends. They all say they don’t know where Shengsheng went."

"Shengsheng rarely goes out at night, and even if she does, she’s back home before ten, or else she would call to let us know."

Lu Youye couldn’t help but check the time again, "But now it’s 11 o’clock, Shengsheng is still not back, and we can’t reach her on the phone. Could something have happened to her?"

Hearing the possibility of something happening, Lu Youming, who was sitting on the other side, took a deep breath and stood up abruptly: "I’m going out to find her."

Lu Youming had barely taken two steps when he was called to a halt by Lu Jingyan, "Youming! It’s late, and without any direction, where will you go to find Shengsheng?"

"I don’t know."

Lu Youming clenched his fists out of sight, and with his eyes cast down, the long lashes cast a shadow at the edge of his eyelids.

Although his face still appeared calm as usual, the slight trembling in his gaze already betrayed the unease in his heart.

"...It’s better than just sitting at home."

"I agree!" Lu Youye, rarely finding common ground with his temperamentally different twin brother, also stood up and clamored, "I’m also going to find Shengsheng!"

"You two sit down first."

Lu Siyan slightly frowned, raised his eyes, and spoke calmly, "Forget Youming, but Youye, running around aimlessly this late - we don’t want to end up having to search for you after failing to find Shengsheng."

"I won’t! I..." Lu Youye couldn’t help but open his mouth, then recalling his past experiences of being a habitual lost cause, found himself unable to refute his second brother’s words.

Even the often flippant Lu Ziye was somber now, and turned to Lu Jingyan, "Big brother, have you gotten in touch with Li Muchen?"

Lu Jingyan frowned, "Still no, it’s the same as Shengsheng’s mobile, unreachable."

"The same prompt on the mobile phone, they might be together now, just not sure why both of their phones are without a signal."

"It’s not too late yet, let’s wait a bit more," Lu Ziye pondered for a few seconds, "If Shengsheng doesn’t come home soon or call, we’ll contact the police and check the city’s surveillance to search for her."

"If that Li kid is with Shengsheng, and they haven’t returned home this late, it’s unbecoming, not even reachable by phone. If that’s the case, from now on Shengsheng is not allowed to meet with him at night!"

Jiang Ting, sitting on the couch, spoke up indignantly, very much in the mode of a concerned mother. However, just as she finished speaking, Lu Jingyan’s mobile phone began to ring.

The sudden phone ring caught everyone’s attention, as they all turned to look at Lu Jingyan.

And upon seeing the caller ID on the phone screen, Lu Jingyan could not help but feel a surge of relief.

"It’s Li Muchen!"

Upon hearing that it was Li Muchen calling, everyone’s hearts immediately tensed up.

Lu Jingyan signaled for silence from the others with a shushing gesture, then switched the call to speakerphone and immediately asked, "Hello, Muchen, do you know where Sh...?"

"Big brother," before Lu Jingyan could finish, Li Muchen had already jumped in with the conclusion, "Shengsheng is with me, don’t worry for now."

Upon hearing that Lu Sheng was with Li Muchen, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Had this call not come through, they were on the verge of panic.
