Chapter 2213: The Car Flipped and Fell Off a Cliff (Part 5)
Jiaojiao didn’t say anything, she just went forward and hugged him: "Brother Xian, everything will be alright."
Lu Zishu used all his strength to embrace her back, nodding continuously, tears filling his eyes but he held them back forcefully. His brother would definitely be fine, so he couldn’t cry, as crying would be a sign of defeat.
Jiaojiao comforted Lu Zishu for a while, then went over to Zhao Li. She didn’t say much either, just quietly sat beside Zhao Li, holding her hand and waiting together for the outcome.
In the latter half of the night, Ruan Hao also rushed over. He knew that asking anyone to leave at this time would be impossible, but with the temperature dropping close to zero, he was worried about their health. So he made a call, and half an hour later, a group of people came along, busying themselves on the flat ground, and in less than ten minutes, they set up a tent.
Ruan Hao urged Jiaojiao and the others to go inside and wait; there was also charcoal fire burning which kept it very warm.
Jiaojiao sat on the stool, covered with a blanket, her body clearly cozy and warm, yet watching the people outside coming and going, her heart slowly chilled with the passage of time.
In this weather, falling from such a height, and it was a car crash, everyone present knew how low the chances of survival were.
Initially, everyone had a fervent belief in their hearts, but as time passed, reason gradually returned, and people slowly calmed down, fully realizing how slim the survival possibility was in such circumstances.
Outside, Lu Zhiwei’s face gradually turned ashen, the running around Lu Zishu also became quieter, even Zhao Li, who had been crying incessantly, was silent, staring blankly in a direction, lost in thought.
Unable to bear the atmosphere, Jiaojiao walked out of the tent.
As soon as she stepped out, the cold air outside the tent made her take a deep breath. Suddenly remembering something, she scanned her surroundings, but couldn’t find her target. She walked over to Lu Zishu’s side, nudged him with her toe, and pointed outside.
Lu Zishu looked at her in confusion; Jiaojiao mouthed the words "go outside."
Only then did Lu Zishu get up and follow her out.
Jiaojiao rubbed her hands together and asked him, "Brother Zishu, where’s Xiaomeng? Was he also in the car?"
Lu Zishu froze for a moment, his face changed, showing some urgency. He turned around and walked out: "He’s at home!"
The day’s events had been sudden, and leaving in a hurry, they hadn’t thought of Lu Meng. He had been upstairs all along. Lu Meng had a bit of a strange temper; in recent days, apart from Lu Xian, he didn’t get close to anyone. If Lu Xian went out, he would generally take him along, but not today. Because in the morning, Lu Xian mentioned in a phone call that Lu Meng was upstairs and should be called down for dinner.
"Wait, don’t go, you stay here and accompany Uncle; I’ll have my brother take me back to check." Jiaojiao grabbed him.
Lu Zishu paused his steps and nodded back: "Okay, thank you, Jiaojiao."
"Alright, stop with the constant thank you’s." Jiaojiao glanced at him, tucked her own clothes tightly, and first reported to Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family before going to find Ruan Hao.
Ruan Hao was talking with Ruan Jianguo and Lu Zhiwei.
Upon hearing, without another word, he drove her back first.
Along the way, Jiaojiao supported her forehead with her hand, looking outside. Beside her, Ruan Hao reached out to rub her little head, saying: "There’s a small blanket in the drawer under the seat; it’ll take a while to get home, nap for a while."
