C46 Old Lady Pei Fell Ill
Su Ke seemed to have sensed Chu Luo's presence, and she intentionally looked in her direction, with traces of pride in her eyes.
"Brother Muchen, the banquet is about to begin. Can you accompany me to find uncle Bei Mu?"
In order to keep Bei Muchen away from Chu Luo, Su Ke wanted to send Bei Muchen away. She looked at Bei Muchen with a smile, but Bei Muchen shook off her hand and said with a cold face, "You should be more familiar with this place than I am. Go by yourself."
Bei Muchen was clear about Su Ke's thoughts. He turned around and saw Chu Luo standing at the stairs.
He walked up the stairs and asked gently, "What, are you not feeling well?"
Bei Muchen's completely different attitude made Su Ke feel that she had lost face. She left angrily.
Chu Luo shook her head. "I'm fine."
The banquet quickly started. Chu Luo did not like this kind of scene, so she sat alone in a corner. Although this was Su Ke's banquet, it was Bei Mu Family after all.
And since Bei Muchen was the current holder of the Bei Mu Family, he was naturally the target of the fluorescent lights on the stage.
He stood there majestically, a gorgeous light sweeping across his tall and straight body. His handsome face, which seemed to have been meticulously crafted, lifted into a smile.
His politeness carried a noble estrangement.
He was a perfect man. Chu Luo was stunned. Her heart was like fireworks as it exploded. A feeling that she had never felt before slowly spread out from the bottom of her heart.
"Was he enchanted by Muchen's elegance?"
While Chu Luo was in a daze, Wen Xincheng's voice appeared. She wore a dark red qipao, and her shoulders were wrapped in mink skin. With a smile on her face, she sat down beside Chu Luo with a dignified manner.
"Auntie." Chu Luo called out.
"Muchen is a very perfect child. From the moment he returns to the Bei Mu Family, no one needs to worry about anything." When Bei Muchen was mentioned, Wen Xincheng's face always showed a kind smile.
Chu Luo could feel that she truly felt sorry for Bei Muchen.
However, Bei Muchen and Chu Luo could tell that Bei Muchen had a grudge against Wen Xincheng.
"Auntie, you and Bei Muchen," Chu Luo asked cautiously. She originally didn't want to interfere in this matter, but she saw traces of guilt in Wen Xincheng's eyes.
Her eyes were so loving and sad at the same time.
Hearing Chu Luo's words, Wen Xincheng wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. She broke down into a smile as she shook Chu Luo's hand, "Muchen was secretly given birth by his mother. At that time, people at Bei Mu Family did not accept his mother.
"When he was young, his mother passed away, and Muchen also went missing. All these years, Muyi was always looking for him, and because of his mother's death, Muchen's heart was completely sealed off. After all these years, he always thought that we were the ones who killed his mother."
Wen Xincheng had always wanted to make up for Bei Muchen after all these years.
Chu Luo suddenly remembered Bei Muchen's reaction that day in the kitchen. He said that his life was not like the life on the surface.
Seeing that Chu Luo did not say anything, Wen Xincheng comforted her: "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind? "
"No, it's fine. Auntie, you don't have to worry."
Seeing this, Wen Xincheng relaxed. "This banquet will probably still be going on for some time. Luo, you can sit here for a while. I'll be right back."
"Auntie, go ahead."
After Wen Xincheng left, Chu Luo was bored out of her mind and decided to run Weibo. As soon as she opened the search results, she saw a piece of news, "Chu Group forces the lonely old man to move."
The news was at the top of the search charts, and the comments below were growing at the rate of a few hundred per minute.
When Chu Luo saw this piece of news, her expression immediately changed. She jumped up from her chair and asked, "What's the matter with this news?"
Before she could think it through, Mu Yanling called.
"Director, something bad happened."
"I saw the news, explain everything clearly."
Mu Yanling wasn't clear about the details. All she received was a message that Old Madam Pei had been sent to the hospital.
Hearing Mu Yanling's words, Chu Luo had a premonition that something was going to happen. She and Mu Yanling had just gone to look for Old Madam Pei, but Old Madam Pei had already been sent to the hospital that night.
Just this one rule was enough to let her leave the Chu Group completely.
She could not leave the Chu Group, this was grandmother's only wish.
Thinking this way, Chu Luo didn't bother to notify Bei Muchen. She took her phone and left in a hurry. On the way, she called Mu Yanling and told her to go to the hospital and wait.
Mu Yanling agreed.
"Could it be Chu Jingran did this?" Chu Luo didn't have much time to think, so she drove straight to the hospital.
Bei Muchen's people were on stage, but he kept his eyes on Chu Luo. Seeing her leave in such a hurry, he had a premonition that something had happened to Chu Luo.
Thus, he ended the conversation and called over Luo Yi.
"Go investigate and see what has happened to your wife."
"Yes."
Chu Luo arrived at the hospital very quickly. Mu Yanling was waiting at the entrance. When she saw Chu Luo in her formal attire, Mu Yanling was slightly shocked. "Director, you're going to the banquet?"
"Do you know which ward he's in?"
"Yes, on the 17th floor." Mu Yanling said.
Chu Luo nodded and brought the two of them up to the 17th floor.
The two of them had just reached the ward's door when they heard a girl's voice from inside. "Grandma, you have to wake up, Grandma."
As he spoke, his voice carried a hint of a sobbing tone.
Suspicion arose in Chu Luo's heart. According to her knowledge, Old Madam Pei only had Xiaoxue as her granddaughter, so who was the person in this ward?
Just as Chu Luo was thinking about this, the door to the ward opened.
The one who walked out was a female student about ten years of age. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried. She saw Chu Luo and her companion.
The girl looked at them warily. "Who are you?"
Mu Yanling opened her mouth: "We were sent by Chu Group to pay our respects to Miss Pei, may I ask who you are?"
Hearing Mu Yanling's words, the girl's face changed. She angrily pushed Chu Luo away, blocking the door with her small body. It seemed as if Chu Luo was not allowed to enter.
"So it was you who tried to take back her house."
Mu Yanling frowned, "Grandma Pei? What is your relationship with Lady Pei? " From the looks of it, she wasn't Pei Xiaoxue. Why was she in the hospital in the middle of the night?
The girl glared angrily at her when she heard his words. Her tone was also not very good, "What does this have to do with you? If Young Mistress Pei doesn't want you to visit her, scram."
Chu Luo half bent her waist and did not get angry, but said lightly, "Little girl, you're so eager to stop us from entering, could it be that you're the cause of Miss Pei's misfortune?"
