After walking for a long time, Poppi had no mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, for two reasons, one was tiredness, and the other was the coldness. Poppi felt that some blisters appeared on her feet and her ankle hurt so much that she had to take off her shoes. There were a lot of rubble on the mountain and it was also hurt to step on the sole of her feet, so she could only limp up the mountain. She couldn't help but feel sad. If there are a line of the top ten touching characters of Ye city, she was sure that she be selected.
'You must take good care of yourself….' She said to herself.
The wind on the mountain was blowing hard and the sound was piercing cold. Poppi wrapped herself tightly in her clothes. The chilly wind blew away the bit heat she accumulated because of climbing the mountain. People who went up the mountain with her all returned now, but she was still struggling to climb.
She walked for another long time. When she crossed the mountain and finally saw the crooked tree with red wishes, she almost cried out of excitement.
Now she was the only one left in the mountain. She stood in front of a tree and smiled slowly.
"I hope my father and my sister Celine can get back to health,"
After checking the piece of paper she wrote and putting it into the wish paper, Poppi folded her fingers facing the devout hands of the crooked tree and made a silent sound in her heart. She took a deep breath and raised her arms to throw the wish paper at the highest branch.
She didn't know if it would work, but she knew that if a chance could be given up by her, she would regret it for a lifetime.
She was moved…
A gust of strong wind blew the wishes away, and Poppi was so angry that she hurried to chase after it. Again, it was blown away and still hung up…
Looking from afar, a figure on the top of the mountain ran up and down continuously because of an illusory wish.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, it was warm in the hotel hall. Everyone was smiling. But Benson was an exception. He rushed all the way to the hotel hall. Obviously, he was worried and at a loss.
"Have you seen Poppi?"
"have you seen the girl who came with me, who named Poppi?"
He dialed the number of Poppi, but no one answered.
Outside the hotel, a cool sports car suddenly stopped at the door. The hotel porter saw it and quickly stepped forward to open the door for the owner. As soon as the door opened, the man on the driver's seat got out of the car. He took off his sunglasses and his handsome face immediately appeared.
"Hiss, I feel so cold!" However, as soon as he got out of the car, the man winced with cold.
It was no one else but Hugh. He was talking with Malcolm on the phone, "it's so cold in Pebin! My God! It's raining. I have arrived at the hotel. Where are you? "
"I'll be right down." In the hotel room, Malcolm lifted the curtain and looked out. As expected, some raindrops fell. He hung up the phone and walked outside. He didn't want to see Hugh make it to Pebin as soon as he got off the plane, because he was afraid that he would get angry and jealous once he saw him…
When he just walked out of the room, he saw a man and a woman walking in the empty corridor. Then he saw the person, who named George.
George also saw Malcolm, so he immediately pushed the woman aside and walked towards him with a smile. In a hurry, he reached out his hand and said, "Mr. Malcolm! How rare! I haven't got a chance to talk to you alone! "
Then, George came over to him with a sincere smile on his face.
Mr. Malcolm lifted up his hand. When the smile on the George's face widened, he put his hands in his pockets and said in a cold voice, "I don't want to have a private talk with you. Goodbye."
George raised his eyebrows and then smiled in a low voice. He took his hand back and said, "After all, both of us have the surname of Quan."
"That's why I don't want to talk to you." With his lips pursed slightly, Malcolm nodded to George politely and said goodbye.
Looking at Malcolm's receding figure, George sneered disdainfully. 'What's so proud of a bastard? Even if he is rich, so what? Deep inside, he was a humble servant.'
"Come here!" George waved to the woman who was get rid of by him. Then she leaned over him in a coquettish way, and they two put their arms around each other's shoulders and went into the VIP room of George.
After asking a while in the hall, Benson turned his head to look at a person enter the door of the hall, only to find that it was Hugh. He walked in from outside. After hesitating for a while, he finally stepped forward and said, "Mr. Su."
Seeing him, Hugh's smile faded. He asked, "Mr. Ji, what can I do for you?"
"You just arrived?" "Haven't you seen Poppi yet?" asked Benson.
"Poppi?" "What? Isn't she here? "
"She..."
"Mr. Ji! Mr. Ji! " When Benson was about to say something, his assistant, Tom, rushed out of the crowd and ran very fast. When he didn't see him, he shouted, "Miss. Poppi, Miss. Poppi has gone up the mountain!"
"What was she doing up the mountain? !" Benson panicked. "When did she go?"
