Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Your Big Brother is Lu Zheng?

Mingyuan Restaurant, owned by Jiang Mingyuan, was next door to the Songxue Hotel.

Lu Qing had dined with Jiang Mingqing at the restaurant and had agreed to go shopping together the next day.

The two parted at the entrance—Jiang Mingqing headed back to school and Lu Qing returned to the hotel to find her grandmother.

Because Jiang Mingqing knew Lu Qing had come with her grandmother, he had specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare some dishes that were easy to take away.

Lu Qing carefully carried the box of food back to her hotel room.

However, the room was tidy, and there was no sign of Fang Youlan, which made her panic suddenly.

Being unfamiliar with the place, where could her grandmother have gone instead of resting in the room?

She immediately thought that perhaps, seeing that she hadn’t returned, the old lady might have gone to her brother’s girlfriend, Lin Xia’s place.

In a rush, Lu Qing left the hotel and faced the unfamiliar streets, only then realizing she didn’t have Lin Xia’s address!

The city was not small, what was she to do?

She didn’t know anyone here, and Jiang Mingqing had returned to school.

Lu Qing looked at the sign for the Mingyuan Restaurant next to her and had an idea.

She remembered her grandmother mentioning that Lin Xia was running some sort of small business.

She thought that Jiang Mingyuan’s older brother knew many people, and he might know something about Lin Xia.

Jiang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise when Lu Qing returned, "Is something the matter?"

After all, they were not familiar with each other, having only just met.

Lu Qing showed a hint of embarrassment, "Jiang, older brother, there’s something I’d like to ask you!"

Jiang Mingyuan readily responded, "Go ahead, what is it?" He was always eager to help his sister’s classmates.

Lu Qing slightly adjusted a lock of hair by her ear, "It’s just... I came here with my grandmother, and when I returned to our hotel room, she wasn’t there!

I think she might have gone to my older brother’s girlfriend’s place! But I don’t know her exact address!

So, I was wondering if you know a businesswoman named Lin Xia!"

If he knew, that would be great!

Otherwise, she was really worried about her grandmother. After all, she was of considerable age and not very robust in health.

If she called back home to the province, her grandfather might find out, and being so far away, wouldn’t he worry even more?

Jiang Mingyuan’s originally relaxed face suddenly tensed, and he stared sharply at Lu Qing, "Lin Xia? Your older brother is Lu Zheng?"

He knew it; when he saw this girl for the first time, he felt she had the same surname as Lu Zheng.

There were many people with the same surname, so he hadn’t thought much about it.

Now that he heard it, what else was there to be confused about? This was Lu Zheng’s family member coming to Spring City to find Lin Xia.

"Ah!" Lu Qing exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide, "Yes! You know my brother?"

Jiang Mingyuan explained casually, "Yes, we know each other! Lin Xia is a good friend of mine! Let’s go! I’ll take you to her!"

But what he was thinking was whether Lu Zheng’s family had come to see Lin Xia or to prevent them from being together.

Lu Qing hurriedly followed behind with small, quick steps, staring curiously at the confidently striding Jiang Mingyuan ahead;

This Jiang Mingqing’s older brother was good friends with Lin Xia! And he knew her older brother, Lu Zheng! She and Jiang Mingqing were university classmates!

Connections between people were indeed quite interesting!

Jiang Mingyuan drove Lu Qing quickly to Lin Xia’s residence, only to find the front gate locked tight.

He pushed at the door of the boutique, which was also locked.

"Jiang, older brother! Why is no one here?" Lu Qing got out of the car, looking around the unfamiliar place, unclear whether her grandmother had come or not.

Jiang Mingyuan didn’t care about Lu Qing’s thoughts; he directly entered Wu Zhenghong’s beauty shop.

"Sister Hong, where are Lin Qiu and the others?" He knew that if there weren’t any important matters, Lin Qiu’s shop would not be closed, unless they had gone to the back room.

But if they had gone to the back room, the front door wouldn’t be locked.

Wu Zhenghong was giving a man a shave with a razor when she quickly stood up and said to Jiang Mingyuan, "They all went to the City Hospital! An old lady from their family suddenly had a heart attack... It was terrifying..."

"Okay! Then I’m off! Sister Hong!" Jiang Mingyuan hurriedly spoke and left the beauty shop.

"Yes! The City Hospital!" Wu Zhenghong, holding the razor, ran a few steps out of the shop.

Jiang Mingyuan didn’t say another word as he got into the car, and Lu Qing also hurriedly took the passenger seat.

Lu Qing hadn’t followed him inside, but she had overheard the conversation at the door.

She anxiously asked, "My grandmother came here? What happened to her? Did she have a heart attack? How could things turn out like this?"

Lu Qing didn’t understand how her grandmother could have had a heart attack!

Could it be that the train ride was too strenuous and she hadn’t rested enough? She started to blame herself slightly...

Jiang Mingyuan frowned and said gravely, "It’s fine! Sit tight!" He didn’t have the patience to answer her questions right now as he was very anxious.

He worried about what Lin Xia would do if Lu Zheng’s grandmother had an emergency.

As soon as he finished speaking, the car sped off with a "whoosh".

Wu Zhenghong watched the distant car, mumbling to herself, "Who is that woman? His girlfriend?"

In the hospital, Lin Xia and Lin Qiu sat on wooden chairs in the corridor.

"Sis! She should be okay, right? I was terrified earlier!" Lin Qiu still felt shaken thinking about it.

If something really had happened to Lu Zheng’s grandmother at their house, her sister and Lu Zheng would have no future together.

"Me too! My legs went weak with fear! They’re still weak!" Lin Xia didn’t hide her fear at all.

If the old lady really passed away, not to mention whether she and Lu Zheng were done for, she wouldn’t be able to cope with it herself for sure.

She was speechless about just sending her father Lin Aiguo home today and now having to bring Lu Zheng’s grandmother to the hospital.

If she had known the old lady’s heart was in such bad condition, she would definitely have kept her temper in check and not spoken so harshly.

But regretting it now was futile.

The old lady lay silently in the hospital bed, looking unwell and ignoring Lin Xia completely.

For the moment, Lin Xia really didn’t know what to do.

She worried that speaking harshly might provoke the old lady to another attack.

The sound of someone running echoed through the corridor, and Lin Xia and Lin Qiu looked in that direction, seeing Jiang Mingyuan and a girl!

Both of them stood up from their wooden chairs in surprise.

"Second Brother!"

Jiang Mingyuan, with his long strides, reached Lin Xia and the others first.

"How is it? Is the old lady okay?" He asked with a faint pant in his voice.

"Nothing serious!" Lin Xia curiously pointed at Lu Qing, who was dressed in a red dress, and asked, "Who is this?"

"She’s Lu Zheng’s sister..." Jiang Mingyuan had just finished speaking when Lu Qing arrived, "How is my grandmother? Where is she?"

Lin Xia guessed she must be Lu Zheng’s uncle’s daughter.

"She’s out of danger now!"

Lu Qing felt slightly relieved, bracing her knees as she panted heavily, "It’s good she’s okay! It’s good she’s okay!" She took a breath and straightened up to look at Lin Xia and asked again, "Why did my grandmother have a heart attack?"

What could Lin Xia say? Could she say it was because she had upset her?
