Chapter 1363 Grandma is missing

That day, Xu Xiaoxiao was researching a new cake. When she was thinking about it, she was interrupted by a sudden ring of the phone.

She frowned, hesitated for a moment, finally put down the materials in her hand and answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, it was Aunt Li's panicked voice, with a bit of urgency and anxiety: "Xiaoxiao, it's bad, something happened."

"What's wrong? What happened to grandma?" Xu Xiaoxiao's first reaction was that something happened to grandma.

"Xiaoxiao, the old lady...is gone!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's heart tightened, and her tone unconsciously increased a bit, with a hint of disbelief in her voice: "Grandma is missing? What does this mean? Shouldn't she be at home well?"

There was doubt and a bit of reproach in Xu Xiaoxiao's tone, as if she was blaming Aunt Li for negligence.

Aunt Li sighed on the other end of the phone, with a bit of helplessness and self-blame in her voice: "Xiaoxiao, this is what happened. The old lady suddenly said that she wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the countryside today, and she insisted on having it. I thought so too, the old lady is getting older, and her taste is becoming more nostalgic, so I agreed to buy it. But I was worried about her being alone at home, so I thought of asking someone to bring it up, but the old lady insisted that the taste was not authentic, and insisted that I go buy it myself, and said that she would take a three-hour lunch break and would not wander around. I calculated the time, and I should be back in three hours, but who knew... when I came back, the old lady was not in the room!"

Xu Xiaoxiao felt mixed emotions as she listened to Aunt Li's narration.

She could imagine her grandmother's wrinkled hands, leaning on the cane, shaking. Her heart tightened, and she held the phone tightly, her eyes fixed on the

Aunt Li was also very nervous, because she didn't expect that grandma would disappear from home in the past few hours.

Xu Xiaoxiao gently rubbed her temples, trying to calm herself down, and asked, "Aunt Li, don't worry. Did grandma leave any clues? Like notes, clothes, etc.? She shouldn't leave inexplicably. Even if she wants to leave, she won't leave quietly and won't make me worry."

Aunt Li thought for a moment on the other end of the phone and said, "No, when I came back, everything was normal in the room, except that no one was there. I called a few times, but no one answered. I... I was really worried, so I called you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao became even more anxious. Her grandmother was old, and although she was in good health on weekdays, her hands and feet were inconvenient. If something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, don't worry, I'll be back soon. Let's split up and look for grandma."

After saying that, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly hung up the phone, got up, packed up, and drove home.

Along the way, she felt uneasy and worried, and her grandmother's smile and expectant eyes kept appearing in her mind.

Where on earth did grandma go?

Outside the car window, the autumn wind was blowing and the fallen leaves were flying, as if they were also telling of this ominous premonition.

Xu Xiaoxiao tightly gripped the steering wheel, silently saying in her heart: "Grandma, you must be safe."

Xu Xiaoxiao rushed back home anxiously. After reuniting with Aunt Li, the two quickly divided the work and began to search every corner of the house carefully.

As time passed, grandma's figure seemed to have melted into the air and could not be found anywhere.

"Aunt Li, we have to expand the search area."

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned, her eyes revealing determination and anxiety, "Grandma may have left the house, surveillance, surveillance..."

"Monitoring... there was a power outage during the day. The power came back after I came back for a while."

"At the door, ask the security guard. Generally, everyone entering and leaving is registered." Xu Xiaoxiao said.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li immediately nodded in agreement, and the two decided to go to the gate of the community to ask the security guard.

However, when they arrived at the door, they found that the person on duty was a new security guard who looked at them blankly, and was obviously not familiar with the people in the community.

"Excuse me, have you seen an old lady go out from here? Or have you seen any unfamiliar people come in or out?" Xu Xiaoxiao tried her best to keep her tone calm, but the anxiety in her eyes was hard to conceal.

The new security guard scratched his head and said innocently, "I'm sorry, I'm new here and don't know the people here very well. Also, I forgot to register today."

Xu Xiaoxiao's heart sank and she quickly took out her cell phone to call the police.

At this moment, a burst of scolding came from the security booth nearby. It turned out that the security team leader came over after hearing the news and was scolding the new security guard.

"What's wrong with you? The owner entered and exited without registering! You are derelict in your duty. If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?" The security captain's voice was filled with anger and blame.

Xu Xiaoxiao had no intention of listening to their quarrel and immediately interrupted them, "Captain, now is not the time to lecture us. We need to check the surveillance to confirm whether grandma has left the community."

Upon hearing this, the security captain's expression changed and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

He quickly arranged for someone to retrieve the surveillance footage and assured Xu Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, we will fully cooperate and find the old lady as soon as possible."

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was about to call the police, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number, but she answered the call without hesitation.

"Hello, who are you?" There was a hint of anxiety and anticipation in Xu Xiaoxiao's voice.

On the other end of the line, a slightly old but loving voice came: "Xiaoxiao, it's me, grandma. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this, but then she became confused: "Grandma, where are you? We have been looking for you for a long time."

There was a hint of apology in grandma's voice: "Oh, I really made you worry."

On the other end of the phone, after grandma's voice, there was an unexpected pause, and then a deep and magnetic male voice slowly sounded. It was Fu Yanchen's voice, with an unquestionable firmness and tenderness:

"Xiaoxiao, don't be anxious. I'm sorry, I saw that you were too tired, so I took the initiative to take grandma away."

"Take it away? Where did you take it?" Xu Xiaoxiao was a little anxious.

"Where else can I take you? The capital. I don't have a home anywhere else. Xiaoxiao, just work peacefully and come back when you are tired. Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of her."

Xu Xiaoxiao, "No, Fu Yanchen, you..."

"Xiaoxiao, we are ready to board the plane. Aunt Li was not here just now, so I took grandma away directly. Tell Aunt Li later that the master will come to the villa to pick her up and take her to the capital tomorrow to take care of grandma."

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment when she heard what Fu Yanchen said.

She didn't expect that Fu Yanchen would make such a decision, and she didn't expect that he would tell her so directly.

She had mixed feelings, feeling relieved about her grandmother's safety, but also surprised and confused by Fu Yanchen's actions.

"Fu Yanchen, you..." Xu Xiaoxiao hesitated, she didn't know how to express her feelings. Gratitude? Surprise? Or some other complicated emotion?

On the other end of the phone, Fu Yanchen seemed to notice her hesitation and chuckled, with a bit of doting and comfort in his voice: "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I won't use grandma for anything. I just don't want to see you working so hard, so I'll help you share the hardship. It's my duty to take care of your grandma, we..."

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,

"Besides, even if we consider it from the most favorable perspective, the medical conditions in the imperial capital are much better than here. For grandma, going to the imperial capital for treatment and living is undoubtedly a better choice. There, she can enjoy more advanced medical technology and better medical services, so that her leg injury can recover faster."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that what Fu Yanchen said made sense, but... from now on... he would have her trick up his sleeve.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry too much. You may not be able to stay with grandma all the time due to work or other reasons. You can come back to visit her at any time. You can also visit Yuxuan and spend some good time with him. He misses you too. This way, it will not affect your work and life, and grandma can get better care and love. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Now that she knew her grandmother's whereabouts, Xu Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved. Fortunately, nothing happened to her grandmother, otherwise she would have felt so guilty.

Aunt Li also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately,

Xu Xiaoxiao slowly hung up the phone with Fu Yanchen, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant, and her body leaned limply on the sofa.

This... the old lady would give herself a scare from time to time.

Thinking of the old lady, Xu Xiaoxiao forced a relieved smile at the corner of her mouth. This smile was mixed with too many complicated emotions: worry, relief, and a hint of unspeakable bitterness.

But this relief did not last long. Soon, her brows were tightly furrowed again, as if pulled by an invisible force.

Xu Xiaoxiao's mind kept flashing back to the scenes related to her grandmother in the past few days. After the two of them talked it out, her grandmother's attitude towards her improved a lot and she didn't embarrass them anymore. Why this time...

Those warm memories and grandma’s smile kept playing before her eyes like a movie.

But her grandmother's current condition made her worry surge into her heart like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Her grandmother's foot hasn't healed yet, and she doesn't know if she can rest well tonight.

But she didn't understand why her grandma was so stubborn. She felt that she was a burden and didn't even want to be implicated. She kept asking to leave. Now, how could she be willing to follow the unfamiliar Fu Yanchen back to the imperial capital?

Grandma's temper and personality wouldn't make her like this. Could it be...

There must be some unknown secrets hidden behind this series of seemingly ordinary events.

What kind of deal existed between grandma and Fu Yanchen? Why was grandma bribed by Fu Yanchen? Could it be that Fu Yanchen used me to threaten grandma?

Xu Xiaoxiao knows Fu Yanchen very well. He is an extremely shrewd businessman and will never do business that will lose money. Fu Yanchen will never do anything that does not benefit him at all. What kind of secret is hidden in this?

Fu Yanchen, this profiteer, since he has agreed to take care of grandma, then this matter must have some unspeakable benefits for him.

"Fu Yanchen, Fu Yanchen, what on earth are you planning?"

Xu Xiaoxiao whispered to herself, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

Fu Yanchen's action was by no means out of pure kindness, there must be more far-reaching considerations behind it. He, Fu Yanchen, is not a good man.

She recalled her past interactions with Fu Yanchen. Every time, he was able to accurately grasp the opportunity and maximize the benefits.

Thinking of the negotiation between Fu Yanchen and herself, she suddenly realized that everything Fu Yanchen did was intentional!

He went to such great lengths to take grandma away, just to get her back to him. What a sinister man.

This cunning guy is simply a complete profiteer!

When she agreed to go back, it was just a stopgap measure, just to temporarily stabilize Fu Yanchen.

But now it seems that he will not just wait for me to give in and go back with him. He actually...

As for her, she actually hasn't really made up her mind to reconcile with Fu Yanchen.

After all, so many things had happened between them. How easy would it be to completely let go of the past?

After coming to her senses, Xu Xiaoxiao felt very upset. Fu Yanchen was a bastard.

She stood up and walked to the water dispenser, poured a full glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp, as if to wash away the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

Just now, because of her grandmother's matter, she was busy all the way. When she got home, she went to look for her grandmother. She didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. She also went through one difficult time after another in fear.

Aunt Li stood aside, with a look of guilt and uneasiness on her face. She kept apologizing: "Xiaoxiao, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the old lady and made you worry."

Xu Xiaoxiao gently waved her hand, her eyes full of understanding and tolerance: "Aunt Li, this is not your fault. We all know grandma's temper. Sometimes she is like a child and likes to do whatever she wants. Grandma is not here today, so don't blame yourself too much. Go to bed early. You will be very tired from taking the bus to the capital tomorrow."

Aunt Li's eyes flashed with gratitude and relief when she heard this. She looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and asked with concern: "Xiaoxiao, how about you eat something? I'll make you some porridge. You probably haven't eaten anything."

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly, with a forced smile on her lips: "No, Aunt Li, I'm really not hungry. You go and rest first, I can do it myself."

Seeing how persistent she was, Aunt Li stopped forcing her.

She patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder gently and said softly, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, you should go to bed early too. Call me if you need anything. I'm always here."

After saying that, Aunt Li turned around and went upstairs, leaving Xu Xiaoxiao standing alone in the living room.
