Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 814: Timid-Looking
Jiang Ye glanced at his wife beside him, and just then Lu Jing had already dialed the phone number for the Lu Family’s old residence. A servant answered.
"Is it the young lady? Are you looking for the old madam?"
The old madam the servant referred to is not the biological mother, but the biological grandmother of the little nephew.
"Is Aunt at home?" he asked.
"Yes, she is. I’ll go get her now."
Uh-huh.
From the servant’s tone, it seemed like the Lu Family hadn’t realized the child was missing yet?
Otherwise, how could they be so calm?
Indeed, the Lu Family was quite calm at the moment.
So, how did this little rascal manage to slip past so many eyes and get from Jing City to Nanxi City?
Without being noticed the whole way?
You really have to admire him.
Over at the old residence, the little rascal’s grandmother had already picked up the call:
"Jing, why are you calling at this time?"
Lu Jing let out a long sigh of relief:
"Aunt, does Yizhou not have to go to school today?" she asked.
"Huh? That’s right, he doesn’t.
The kindergarten has temporarily closed because most of the kids have the flu. Why do you ask?"
So that’s why.
If he were at kindergarten, how could the teachers not have noticed a missing kid after a few hours?
"Aunt, Yizhou is with me now!"
???
This statement startled the Old Madam Lu so much that she stood up from the sofa:
"What? That’s impossible, impossible. Girl, don’t joke with your aunt!"
Sweat.
If only it were a joke.
A whole lively child was right in front of them. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Aunt, really, he came to Nanxi City and said he flew here by himself."
On the other end, the Old Madam Lu was so anxious she was shaking all over, almost to the point of fainting:
"He-he... wasn’t he supposed to be at the amusement park with the Bai Family’s child? How did he end up at your place? No, no, girl, you’re really not joking with your aunt?"
How did a preschool child manage that?
It’s hard to believe when you say it.
Lu Jing understood too:
"Aunt, let me set up a video call with you."
Seeing it with your own eyes naturally makes it believable.
The Old Mrs. Lu hadn’t even reacted before the call was already disconnected.
A few seconds later, the phone vibrating on the coffee table brought her back to her senses, and she hurriedly picked it up and answered.
What a sight it was when she connected; her grandson’s face was right on the screen.
"Grandma!"
In an instant, the Old Madam Lu’s legs gave way, and she plopped down onto the sofa:
"Yizhou, did you really go to your Aunt’s place?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Heavens!
What a frightful situation.
"You child, how could you... how could you..."
She could barely speak.
Lu Jing tugged at her little nephew:
"Aunt, don’t worry too much, the child is in good condition, he’s with Jiang Ye and me, and he’s fine."
Hearing this, the Old Madam Lu took half a breath of relief.
No trouble is truly a blessing!
"I’ll inform A Yan and Luoluo, you and Aye keep an eye on the child for now."
"Sure."
After hanging up the call, when Lu Jing looked at her dear nephew again, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
In the end, she reached out and pinched the little one’s cheeks several times:
"Just wait, you’re definitely getting a good scolding when you get home."
Cough.
The little one was so scared he huddled into Jiang Ye’s arms:
"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle...."
Jiang Ye didn’t dare to undermine his wife’s authority:
"Hmm, your Aunt’s right."
Moreover, it might not even wait until they get home.
No doubt, Lu Yan and his wife will be rushing over soon.
Little Yizhou was stunned immediately:
"Really... really?"
Looking all nervous.
