Chapter 836: Lost and Despondent

g gaze."Why are you here" he suddenly asked in a low voice.Qiao Bao'er pursed her lips and didn't answer him. She lowered her eyes, remembering some things, as if she didn't want to see him. She turne...Henry burned his arm while recording the show.

This was a mistake he had never made before.

"Oh my, how's your hand It looks like you have a pretty bad burn."

"My goodness, I have to go to the hospital to get this treated, or else it'll leave a scar."

The crew immediately stopped filming and rushed over to check on them.

Henry didn't seem too concerned about his injury. He managed a weak smile and apologized, "…I'm really sorry. My condition affected everyone's work progress. Let me rest for a bit, I don't need to go to the hospital."

"Henry, what's been going on with you these days You seem absent-minded and restless."

"Henry, you actually put a whole bottle of salt instead of sugar into the dish when you were recording yesterday. Luckily, our guest at the time ate your sour and sweet pork belly without saying a word."

Henry's smile faltered, and he just shook his head at them. "Sorry, I'll be more careful in the future," He didn't want to share too much about his personal life with others.

Fang Mei hasn't come back to her rental apartment for seven days.

She hasn't come back yet.

Now every day, he goes home on time at 6 p.m. because she used to say that she would be happy if he came home on time every evening.

Now he makes every effort to get home on time, but she's not there.

Thinking of this, Henry couldn't help but feel his spirits sinking again.

"Henry, what are you doing still standing there You've lost your arm, you need to get that burn on your hand treated immediately." Agent Jiang Shiyi nervously pulled him towards the medical room.

Henry allowed himself to be led away by Jiang Shiyi. He seemed utterly dejected, as if he didn't care about anything anymore.

Suddenly, she muttered in a low voice, "She hasn't come home yet."

As for Fang Mei's situation, her agent, Jiang Shiyi, is the only one who knows everything. So Henry can only confide in her.

Hearing him say that, Jiang Shiyi felt a surge of joy in her heart.

That woman really stopped bothering Henry, that's great.

However, at this time Jiang Shiyi did not dare to show her joy too obviously. She deliberately used a big sister's tone to persuade her.

That day she broke up with you, and she even personally returned the keys to our rented apartment. I think this time she's made up her mind, so Henry, you should also calm down...

Henry was surprised, "Fang Mei returned the keys to your rented apartment"

Jiang Shiyi nodded seriously, "Yes, that day she broke up with you. When she ran out, she threw the keys back to me, saying she wanted to cut off all ties with you."

That day, I saw you heartbroken and so sad, so I didn't bring it up to you.

Henry stood frozen, his head bowed in silence.

Jiang Shiyi enjoyed helping him tend to his wounds, “Take off your jacket and undershirt, that way I can get a better look at the injuries on your arm.”

Henry didn't seem to have any thoughts about it, he was completely lost in his sadness. But the people on set, they seemed to think that their intimate actions meant something deeper between them.

Everyone is thinking, the average-looking woman who attended the victory banquet before, Henry's girlfriend of 7 years, is probably just a smokescreen. There's no way Henry would be interested in someone so ordinary.

"Ayee, you mentioned before that you helped me look into Fang Mei's network in China. Besides her family, did you find anyone else who might be connected to her"

Henry was being treated for his injuries. His arm skin was already reddened and blistered, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, instead looking up with anxious concern about Fang Mei's whereabouts.

Jiang Shiyi's social network is extensive. Henry arrived in China for development and didn't know anyone. Now that Fang Mei has suddenly disappeared, he really can't find anyone.

Henry had gone to Fang Mei's parents' house several times in recent days, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they demanded a breakup fee of 100 million yuan from him.

He was furious, not because of the money, but because he completely disagreed with the breakup!

In China, Fang Mei did not go back to her parents' home. Where would she go then

Henry has been driving around these days, aimlessly cruising through the streets of this big city, always watching the crowds passing by on street corners and alleyways, wondering if he'll ever see that familiar face again.

But he searched for so many days and found nothing.

Henry was utterly dejected.

He's been making mistakes at work lately, and he's lost his motivation. He used to think he loved cooking the most and enjoyed the recognition from his fans, but now these fame and fortune seem meaningless.

"...I haven't been working lately."

Jiang Shiyi suddenly looked up, "What!"

She immediately dissuaded him, "Henry, you absolutely cannot let your personal issues, especially these emotional problems, interfere with work. You know so many people on our crew are waiting for you to film. How can you…"

"I'm so sorry."

Henry didn't want to make too many explanations. He knew that in his current state, he wouldn't be able to complete his work smoothly.

"Because my relationship has affected the work, and if there are any economic consequences, I am willing to take responsibility. As for Mr. Lu's side, if you need to hold someone accountable, just blame me for everything."

Jiang Shiyi's expression was complex. "Well then, I'll tell them, just consider it a holiday for you."

Henry muttered stubbornly, "I don't want a holiday, I want Fang Mei, I need to find her..." He could be as stubborn as a child sometimes, impossible to reason with. He just had his mind set on one thing.

Jiang Shiyi had no way to deal with this.

"Even if you found her, it wouldn't matter." she blurted out.

"She's just angry, she couldn't possibly break up with me!"

Henry suddenly became very emotional.

“We've been together for seven years, you know, we once shared a single loaf of bread, living frugally and eating it for an entire day. We starved together, got rained on together, when I was injured and had a high fever, she stayed up all night, constantly helping me bring down the fever with cold water. We didn't have money to buy medicine.”

Jiang Shiyi blurted out, "If that's the case, then why" Why are you unwilling to marry her

She almost said it.

She thought Henry didn't love Fang Mei at all.

That ordinary, unremarkable woman was simply Fang Mei lucky enough to have met him before Henry became famous, clinging onto him and pestering him.ing, but he most likely went to the second island. Also, the elder of the Wild Man islands is also missing. 。Throughout history, the chieftains of this island have always been women, while elders are...
