Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Something is Off with Chen Guihua_1

At six in the evening, at the Luo Family Villa.

Old Lady Luo and Luo Yuantu, among others, were gathered around the dining table, which was filled with delicious dishes, but no one had any appetite.

Thump thump...

Just then, a series of footsteps approached, and the one who came in was Luo Xuanran, the eldest grandson of the Luo family.

Luo Yuantu asked anxiously, "Xuan Ran, how did it go? Did your mom answer her phone?"

Zi Tong also said anxiously, "Yeah, did Mom send you any messages, brother?"

"No."

Luo Xuanran sighed and said, "I don’t know what happened to Mom’s cell phone. At first, no one was answering, and then when I called again, it indicated that the phone was turned off."

"Turned off?"

Old Lady Luo’s complexion changed drastically as she asked, "Xuan Ran, when was the last time you were in touch with your mom?"

"It should have been around two-thirty in the afternoon."

Luo Xuanran recalled and said, "At that time, Mom said she was at the Knitina SPA talking to Yang Meifeng, and the other party had already brought out the property certificate for Boreui Number One."

"She told me not to call her, to avoid arousing suspicion in Yang Meifeng."

"I thought it was such a critical moment, so I hung up and didn’t want to bother Mom."

"Then you all know what happened after that. Several hours have passed, and not a single message or call has come back. I’ve tried calling her, sending videos, and voice messages, but there’s been no response. It’s really driving me crazy."

Old Lady Luo leaned on the chair, covering her forehead with her hand, pondering for quite a while before addressing her son, "Yuantu, has Chen Guihua been acting unusual these past few days?"

Luo Yuantu looked startled on hearing this and asked, "Unusual? Mom, what do you mean by that?"

"I suspect she has absconded with the money!"

Old Lady Luo said gravely, "Our family had just over 4.8 million in savings, and she claimed last night that she was taking all of it out to handle things. I had a bad feeling about it then, which is why I asked Zi Tong to follow her."

"But later she said it wasn’t convenient, and you all were making a fuss, so I compromised."

"Looking back now, something about her really doesn’t add up!"

Zi Tong couldn’t accept it, after all, Chen Guihua was her mother, so she argued, "Impossible! Why would Mom run away?"

"Even if Mom wanted to flee, she would take me and my brother with her!"

In reality, Chen Guihua had hesitated for a long time before making this decision. After all, they were her own children. The thought of enjoying life on the run while leaving her children behind to suffer made her feel terrible.

But she also knew that if she shared her plan with her son and daughter, there was a high chance that the information would leak, and then she wouldn’t be able to get away.

Of course, there was also a main reason: at the time, she was keeping Du Xiaoshuai on the side, something that she couldn’t let her children know about.

At this moment, Luo Xuanran shook his head and said, "Grandma, you’re overthinking it. Mom would never run off with the money, don’t worry!"

But Old Lady Luo shook her head and said, "Xuan Ran, Zi Tong, normally, I wouldn’t say these things, but now there are some matters I must bring up!"

"What kind of person your mother is, you both know very well. The reason she was willing to marry your father wasn’t because she loved him so much, but because our Luo family was wealthy at the time!"

"Now that our Luo family is down and out, and Tao Pinggui is demanding that we come up with several billion within three days, with your mom’s character, do you think she’s willing to suffer with us?"

Zi Tong was unconvinced and retorted, "Granny, you’re making baseless guesses, my mom would never abandon me!"

"She must’ve gotten hold of Boreui Number One and is currently processing the paperwork!"

Old Lady Luo shook her head. "Then why is her phone off, and why hasn’t she responded to any messages?"

"Her phone ran out of battery and turned off!"

Zi Tong stubbornly made excuses for her mother.

But Old Lady Luo scoffed, "Turned off? I think she’s blocked all of you!"

"I’m afraid she’s already mortgaged off Yang Meifeng’s villa, exchanged it for a large sum of cash, and might have already boarded a plane to flee the country, never to return in this lifetime!"

Seeing his mother paint his wife in such a negative light, Luo Yuantu’s face didn’t look too good, and he said gravely, "Mom, please stop making wild guesses. Guihua and I have been married for twenty-seven or twenty-eight years, our relationship is still pretty good, she wouldn’t just leave me and run away."

"Birds of a feather flock together, but they flee separately when disaster strikes!"

Old Lady Luo said coldly, "Don’t you understand such a simple principle?"

"What’s more, with that issue you have down there, effectively eliminating the possibility of a normal marital relationship, do you think Chen Guihua would be content to stay with you?"

"Yuantu, I’m your mother, I wouldn’t harm you! Chen Guihua hasn’t returned, and there’s no way to contact her, something is definitely wrong!"

These earnest words made Luo Yuantu’s face grow dark.

Just as his mother had said, Chen Guihua was the type of person who could share wealth but not adversity.

The last time the Luo family went bankrupt, Chen Guihua had suggested divorce. Fortunately, Tao Pinggui took a liking to their daughter and provided the Luo family with a large amount of funds, which was why Chen Guihua gave up the idea.

If Chen Guihua really did fool Yang Meifeng into handing over the villa at Boreui Number One and turned it into one or two billion in cash, she might indeed run off overseas to find some young lover.

With this thought, Luo Yuantu said, "I’ll call Yang Meifeng first and ask!"
