A Billion Dollar Exchange Chapter 197 He must be alrigh

When Xin Yong and Jin Yue arrived at Liu Wei’s home, it was already past six. Xin Yong did not wait for Jin Yue to properly pack the car; she flung out immediately and began calling Liling as she raced into the house.

”Liling, Liling where are you? Are you okay?”

It was Friday, so the workers had already left for the weekend. The place was as quiet as a grave yard; the door to the Living room was wide open so Xin Yong stepped in. Her brows creased seeing no-one in there.

”Liling, are you there?”

There was no reply, so Xin Yong got a bit scared. She turned to look at Jin Yue who had just walked into the Living room, a worried expression on her face.

”I’ll go upstairs to check.”

She said and immediately raced up the stairs, but just before she reached the top floor, she saw a figure lying scrunched up on the floor.

She paused in her tracks when she recognized the familiar figure.

”Liling, Liling are you okay? Oh my God, have you been crying?”

Xin Yong’s face squeezed into a worried frown when she saw that Liling’s body was already soaked with sweat, her chiffon shirt gumming to her body. She immediately squatted to help her up the floor, but Liling was not moving.

As Xin Yong lifted her head, she could see that her face was already red and part of her hair sticking to her face. Her eyes were tightly shut and she was quivering as a result of her crying.

Xin Yong sat down on the floor and placed her friend’s head on her lap, and lightly shook her.

”Liling wake up; Liling…”

She must have slept off without knowing it because as soon as Xin Yong woke her up she immediately sprang up and began searching for her phone.

Xin Yong was quite taken aback by her action; she just sat there, eyes wide open, watching her friend.

Liling did not even notice that there was someone else in the house, she searched the floor for her phone and when she found it, she began dialing his number all over again.

The number you are trying to call is currently switched off…

”Liu Wei, please pick up your phone, where did you keep your phone? Pick up your phone, I beg of you…”

The tears which had dried on her face became wet all over again as new ones flowed down.

Her hands shook as she dialed his number over and over again, at this point Xin Yong knew that she was not going to stop until Liu Wei had answered the damn phone, so immediately snatched the phone away from her.

”Liling, you need to calm down…”

It was then that Liling noticed that someone had been sitting by her side all these while.

”No, give it back, give it back, he’s not back yet and he’s not picking his phone, how do I calm down? Xin Yong please, you have to…”

”Jin Yue! Jin Yue, come here quickly!”

Xin Yong screamed as she stood up from the ground, trying to keep the phone away from Liling. Liling tried standing up too, but she weakly fell back to the ground, her legs could not keep her up.

Jin Yue, who heard her scream, came running upstairs. He immediately paused in his tracks when he saw Liling sprawled on the floor, her shirt hugging her body.

”What is going on here? ”

Jin Yue could not help asking. His eyes moved from Xin Yong to Liling and back to Xin Yong.

”She says he’s not picking his phone and she won’t stop calling until he picks it. I’ve told her that the phone is switched off but she won’t listen.”

Xin Yong explained briefly. Jin Yue looked down at the crying figure for a moment then squatted down beside her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

”Liling, why are you still crying? I just called his secretary now and he told me that there was an emergency therefore they postponed the trip till tomorrow, he said that Liu Wei’s phone is switched off for now since he’s in a very important meeting and does not want to be disturbed.”

Jin Yue lied. He understood that the figure crying before him would not stop until something good was said to her; therefore, he cooked up a very interesting lie that minute and told her.

Liling’s eyes lit up instantly as she heard what he just said.

”Really? He is okay? Oh my God, he’s okay and I’ve been crying all along! But he should have called to tell me the change of plans if he was not going to return today… oh, now I remember, I switched off my phone earlier today!”

The woman who was crying a while ago started laughing. She quickly rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands and stood up from the ground, still laughing.

Jin Yue sighed triumphantly and stood up also.

”Oh my God, you should not tell him this, okay? And I was crying all these while!”

”Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us.”

Xin Yong laughed as she handed her phone back to her.

”Thank you, Let me go take a hot bath. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

Liling smiled and immediately dashed into her room.

As soon as she disappeared into the room, the two faces which were smiling slowly turned into a troubled look.

”Is it true?”

Xin Yong asked after she was sure that Liling could not overhear them.

”What?”

”About the secretary.”

Jin Yue paused for a second then turned to look at her, a sad look on his face. After a moment, he shook his head slowly.

At that moment, Xin Yong understood perfectly what he had done; she need not hear it from his mouth. She walked to him and hugged him around the waists, not wanting to think about the present situation.

They were quiet for a while before Jin Yue spoke up.
