Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Mom’s in trouble!_1

"Yuantu, are you troubled by something?"

Old Lady Luo noticed her son’s furrowed brow, seemingly unhappy, and asked, "Is it because of the loan business these past two days, have you been overworked?"

"A little."

Luo Yuantu forced a smile, carefully masking the panic in his eyes.

"Heh, who says the Luo Family has no one capable? Yuantu, you’ve been doing quite well recently."

Old Lady Luo said with a face full of satisfaction, "Not only have you secured loans from Yintong, Greenshirt, and Tengniu, but you’ve also managed to secure the people from Shengtian Group."

"Now, all of the company’s projects are running smoothly, and our business is developing vigorously."

"The future of Luo Group is boundless!"

As she spoke, she changed the subject and patted her son’s shoulder, "With you here, I can also rest assured. In the future, when I step down, you and Xuan Ran will take the helm of Luo Group together."

"However, you still have to work hard for a couple more days, as the first phase of the commercial street project we are collaborating on with Shengtian will be completed in just half a month at most."

Luo Yuantu nodded slightly, "Mom, I’ll keep working hard."

"I’m a bit tired, I want to go home to rest..."

"Hmm, then go rest."

Old Lady Luo nodded and continued, "Come over early tomorrow night to entertain the guests."

"Alright."

Leaving the Luo Family Villa, Luo Yuantu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and started to smoke as he walked, his mind in turmoil.

This time, he and his son split up to borrow high-interest loans in Jiangling City and Jiangnan City.

Though he used Luo Ning’s signed documents to apply for the loans in her name, the collateral was the company’s office buildings and factories. If they failed to repay the money by the deadline, those high-interest lenders wouldn’t let Luo Ning or Luo Group off the hook.

Fortunately, the commercial street project with Shengtian Group was about to be completed, and the payments would also be settled, relieving some of the pressure.

But what about my personal debt of over seventy million?

Mom too, insisting on having some kind of dinner party at the Luo Family Villa tomorrow night, saying it’s to entertain the project managers from various construction sites.

If a few project managers slip up and let Mom find out I didn’t pay the fifty million to the workers and the material suppliers, would she remove me from my position as General Manager in a fit of anger?

The more Luo Yuantu thought, the more annoyed he became, to the point that when he got home, he didn’t even take a shower before burying his head in a pillow and falling asleep.

...

At midnight.

With a whoosh, Luo Ning sat up from the bed, "Mo Han, is Mom not back yet?"

Mo Han, sleeping on a floor mattress, rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned, feeling a bit guilty.

It seemed his wife had not rested all night, still concerned about her mother-in-law.

"I don’t know; she should be back by now?"

Mo Han felt ashamed inside, but he could only feign ignorance on the surface.

"No, definitely not!"

Luo Ning stated emphatically, "I’ve been awake all night and haven’t heard anyone unlocking the door, nor have I heard Dad opening the door."

"Mom isn’t back yet! She’s not back!"

As she spoke, her nose soured, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

"I started messaging her since nine o’clock, but she hasn’t replied to a single one."

"She usually likes to play mahjong, and sometimes she plays until late at night, but she has never before ignored calls, video chats, and messages like she is doing now!"

"Something must’ve happened to Mom! Definitely something has!"

"Mo Han, I know my mom hasn’t always treated you well, but she’s still my mom, Chen Chen’s grandmother!"

"Please, help me look for her, will you? Just consider it a favor to me..."

"Wuwuwu..."

Seeing his wife crying so pitifully, Mo Han’s heart softened, and he was on the verge of revealing the whereabouts of his mother-in-law.

But he held back. This time, his mother-in-law had dared to steal his bank card and transfer more than a billion into her personal account. If he didn’t teach her a lesson now, who knows what she might do in the future.

"Okay, I’ll take you there on my bike."

Mo Han shot up, grabbed his clothes and pants, and was dressed in less than twenty seconds.

Luo Ning also scrambled to get dressed, and before leaving, they made a point to knock on her father’s door, asking him to take care of Chen Chen.

Luo Shanchuan, when he heard that they were going to look for his wife, Yang Meifeng, just yawned several times, evidently not very concerned about his wife’s disappearance.

This was no surprise; after Mo Han had transferred three thousand yuan to him, he couldn’t wait to spend it all on tea leaves from Xiao Li, and in gratitude, she even sent him a kissing emoji.

That kiss emoji had stirred long-dormant feelings within him, and he slept soundly that night.

Luo Ning knew her parents’ relationship had always been strained, but seeing her father so indifferent frustrated her, "Dad, don’t you worry about Mom at all?"

"She hasn’t come home for ten hours!"

Her father-in-law waved it off, his face unconcerned, "What’s ten hours? Last year, when you were away on a business trip, she played mahjong outside for three days and nights straight, a total of seventy-two hours. I wasn’t worried; what are you worried about?"

"This time it’s different!"

Luo Ning stamped her foot in frustration, "Mom hasn’t answered a call once, something must have happened."

"Ning’er, alright, let Dad take care of Chen Chen, and we’ll go look for her," Mo Han said, pulling Luo Ning out to prevent any further argument.

Minutes later, an old electric bike carrying the two of them rushed through the nearby streets, past chess and card rooms and mahjong parlors.
