Chapter 433 The Lost Pearl Earring
When Lu Xingchen called the old lady for the first time, no one answered. According to Aunt Chen, since she woke up too early today, she should rest in her room at this time.
And Ethan Lu said: “Grandma may be looking at the photos I took recently. I left her the camera I used recently, which contains a lot of my latest photos.”
In that case the old lady should answer the phone.
Although she didn't think that anything would happen to the old lady after they had been away for so long, but after no one answered the first call, and thinking about the old lady's physical condition, she still called again.
This time, the phone rang four or five times and was suddenly hung up. Lu Xingchen's heart suddenly tightened.
Chen's mother asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you answer it?"
Lu Xingchen nodded.
Mother Chen: "I guess he fell asleep."
"But the call was hung up..." Lu Xingchen murmured this, and put the phone back into her bag because of what Chen Ma said. But it was just a thought in a flash, so she took out the phone again and called the old lady again.
Lu Xingchen was now upset and immediately looked at Chen Ma: "Grandma turned off her phone."
Mother Chen was also a little confused. "I'm sure her phone has enough power before she goes out. I'll call Sister Mei."
Sister Mei answered the phone and told Aunt Chen, "The old lady just drank the soup and fell asleep."
Mother Chen hung up the phone, and after relaying the message to Lu Xingchen, she added, "Grandma usually sleeps for an hour at this time."
Even so, after making three calls with no one answering, Lu Xingchen somehow made a decision: "Let's go back and take a look."
Although Chen Ma thought it was unlikely, she was very sure of Lu Xingchen's style of doing things, so she said, "Okay, I'm a little worried too."
Lu Xingchen then turned to Lu Yisen and said, “This photography exhibition will be open for two weeks. Can I bring you here next time to have a good look?”
Naturally, Ethan Lu had no objection to Lu Xingchen’s words, and he nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the three people who had been out for less than two hours returned to the Lu family's old house. Sister Mei was preparing lunch at the moment and was surprised to see them come back.
"Sister Chen, didn't you go to the exhibition? Why are you back so soon?"
Mother Chen just responded, "Well, is the old lady still asleep?"
"Not yet." Actually, Sister Mei also wanted to go see the old lady just now, but more than half an hour ago, Yang Wenqi came out of the old lady's room and told her that the old lady had fallen asleep and asked her to go in after an hour.
When Sister Mei heard this at first, she didn't think it was a big deal, but when she accidentally saw the camera in Yang Wenqi's hand, she became inexplicably nervous.
Ethan Lu's camera was originally in the old lady's hand. If there was nothing in the camera and the old lady didn't find it, it would be fine, but what if there was something and the old lady found it? Then how did Yang Wenqi get it from her?
For some reason, Sister Mei felt a sense of panic when she looked at the old lady's closed door. She was so panicked that she didn't even dare to secretly open the door and take a look.
Before this inexplicable panic had disappeared, Lu Xingchen and Chen Ma suddenly came back, catching Sister Mei even more off guard.
Seeing Lu Xingchen walk straight to the room as soon as she entered the door, her heart beat faster for no reason, "Miss Xingchen, the old lady has just slept for more than half an hour, and she will get up to eat in a while."
"Well, I'll go in and take a look." It's impossible for Lu Xingchen to fail to make a call outside, so she would not confirm it when she got home. As she said this, she turned the door of the old lady's room. Originally, she really just wanted to confirm it, but when she saw the old lady lying on the bed, she was shocked, "Grandma!"
She exclaimed as someone ran in.
When Aunt Chen and Sister Mei heard this, they looked at each other, their faces changed and they immediately ran towards the room.
Little Lu Yisen had already rushed in, and when he saw Lu Xingchen checking the old lady's breath and pulse on her neck, the stunned child suddenly burst into tears.
"Old lady!" Aunt Chen also ran over in panic.
Lu Xingchen turned around with a stern expression and shouted to her: "Call the family doctor immediately!"
While saying this, she took out her cell phone and dialed 120.
Mother Chen was calling the family doctor, Ethan Lu was crying beside her, and Sister Mei was a lot slower, and suddenly she turned pale and collapsed to the ground.
Only Lu Xingchen, while waiting for the family doctor to arrive, kept calling the old lady: "Grandma, grandma, I'm Xingchen... Yisen is here too, Yisen, come over and call grandma!"
The child who was afraid to get close just now because he was worried about being in the way, immediately ran over and knelt beside Lu Xingchen, crying, "Grandma, grandma, grandma, please don't be in trouble... Grandma, I am Yisen, grandma, please don't be in trouble!"
The pale old lady had no reaction, she just said to Aunt Chen: "Doctor Luo is here!"
When Lu Xingchen was about to push it away, the old lady's hand seemed to move suddenly to hold Lu Xingchen's hand. Lu Xingchen was overjoyed, "Grandma?"
The old lady still did not respond. Lu Xingchen thought that it was just her action that caused the old lady's hand to drop, but she still looked down at the old lady's hand and found that her hand was clenched into a fist. Almost subconsciously, Lu Xingchen immediately tried to pry her hand open. When she saw what was in the old lady's hand, her heart suddenly jumped up and then started beating heavily.
"Please make way!" Family doctor Dr. Luo came over to provide first aid.
Before Lu Xingchen moved aside, he quickly took a pearl earring from the old lady's hand.
Then he held Eisen Lu's shoulders with a serious look and stepped back. After a long while, he lowered his head and said to Eisen Lu: "Eisen, don't cry..."
Looking at the old woman lying on the ground, she couldn't even say, "Grandma will be fine." Instead, she turned her head to look at the furnishings in the room.
It looked like the old lady suddenly felt unwell and tried to press the call bell but fell off the bed. The broken call bell was near where she fell, and the thin blanket covering her body also had traces of being dragged after falling off the bed. There was nothing unusual elsewhere.
To the naked eye, this really looked like an accident, but...
Lu Xingchen clenched the pearl earrings in her hand. Whose were they? And why did the old lady hold them so tightly in her hand?
She couldn't help but look at Sister Mei, who was lying on the ground with a pale face. She walked up to her and asked, "Sister Mei..."
"Ah, ah!" Sister Mei was almost scared to death by being called out. She looked at Lu Xingchen and stammered, "I, I don't know. The old lady was fine before."
Lu Xingchen asked, "Did anyone come to see grandma just now?"
"No... yes, yes, it was the Second Madam. Oh, and the Second Madam also brought Xinyue and the other two children to visit the old lady. They left after the old lady fell asleep."
Yang Wenqi?
Lu Xingchen clenched the earrings in his hand again.
Chen Ma watched Dr. Luo give first aid for a long time, but the old lady didn't respond. She turned around and asked Lu Xingchen, "For such a big matter, should we call Director Lu first?"
