Chapter 481: False Alarm at Jinyang Villa
Jinyang Villa lies quietly in the gentle embrace of the bright sunshine. The brilliant light is like golden silk threads, interwoven together.
The villa is covered with a layer of dreamy golden gauze, and every inch of the building shines with a soft and charming luster, as if the entire villa is given life and is shining in the sun.
A taxi drove slowly along the winding road and finally stopped steadily at the gate of Villa No. 108.
The car door opened, Mu Xiaoji turned slightly sideways, first put his cane out of the door, and then, with the support of the cane, took careful steps forward.
He nodded to the driver, scanned the code to pay successfully, and then walked steadily towards the villa yard with his cane.
Arriving at the door, Mu Xiaoji raised his hand and lightly pressed the fingerprint reader. With a crisp "beep" sound, the door slowly opened.
He walked into the house, and the familiar smell of the house hit him. Mu Xiaoji walked straight to the tea table, picked up an exquisite cup, and poured himself a cup of hot water.
He drank some water carelessly. The warm water slid down his throat but failed to soothe his nerves which were slightly tense due to being busy.
The quiet living room was clean and tidy, and the sight made him feel relaxed and happy. After a short pause, he turned and walked towards the bedroom upstairs.
The moment Mu Xiaoji pushed open the bedroom door, his eyes suddenly widened and the expression on his face froze.
Jiang Chengyu, who was supposed to be lying quietly on the big white bed, was gone. Only the messy quilt was scattered randomly on the bed, as if telling of the hasty departure of its owner.
Mu Xiaoji's heart suddenly shrank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. The woman's voice on the phone echoed in his mind:
"Jiang Chengyu, hello?"
"Ma'am, who are you?"
"When the time comes, you will know who I am. I called to make sure you are still alive."
"What do you mean? I don't seem to remember having a grudge against anyone."
"You are a noble man who forgets things easily, but it doesn't matter, you are mine, wait for the chance to meet again!"
The more Mu Xiaoji thought about it, the more frightened he became. He shouted in panic, "Little beast...little beast..." The voice echoed in the empty room, carrying an unconcealable fear.
He rushed to the bathroom, pushed open the door, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Little Monster..."
However, the bathroom was empty, with only the cold tiles and silent air responding to him.
Mu Xiaoji immediately turned around, almost stumbling out of the bedroom, stood at the stairs, and shouted downstairs: "Little Monster...where are you?"
The shout was full of helplessness and anxiety, as if it was trying to penetrate the entire villa and find Jiang Chengyu's trace.
Mu Huiying was concentrating on trimming flowers and plants on the balcony of her bedroom. The sunlight shone on her, casting mottled light and shadows.
The scissors in her hand moved swiftly among the branches and leaves, and she was immersed in the peaceful and comfortable warm sunshine.
However, Mu Xiaoji's panicked shout broke the silence like a thunderclap.
The scissors in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. Her heart tightened and she quickly put down the tools and hurried out of the bedroom.
Seeing Mu Xiaoji looking flustered, she hurriedly asked: "Xiaoji, what happened?"
"Mom, have you seen the little monster?" Mu Xiaoji's voice was trembling and his eyes were full of panic.
Mu Huiying's heart trembled, and she asked doubtfully, "Is he...missing?"
Mu Xiaoji was so anxious that he was almost incoherent: "I just received a call from the clothing rental boss, asking me to go over and take a look at the new batch of cheongsams that have arrived, and how many sets of styles and patterns are needed to be booked, and to come over to meet and talk. When I came back, I didn't see him in bed."
Mu Huiying felt mixed emotions and asked expectantly, "Is he awake?"
Mu Xiaoji replied in a confused manner: "I don't know..."
The mother and daughter didn't have time to think about it, and without saying a word, they hurried downstairs to look for it. They hurriedly walked through the rooms, not missing any corner, their eyes full of anxiety.
The whole room was filled with the sound of anxiously pushing doors and shouting: "Little monster... where are you? Come out quickly, don't scare me."
"Yuer...Yuer...are you awake?" Mu Huiying shouted and looked forward to it.
However, after searching upstairs and downstairs, he found nothing. Every empty room seemed to mercilessly intensify Mu Xiaoji's inner fear.
Mu Xiaoji was extremely worried and rushed out of the room. He looked around anxiously in the yard, his steps hurried and flustered.
Just when he was about to fall into despair, he finally saw Jiang Chengyu by the swimming pool.
Jiang Chengyu lay quietly in the wheelchair, the sunlight shining on him, giving his face a light golden hue.
Mu Xiaoji seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and ran towards Jiang Chengyu in a hurry.
He panted and said in fear, "Little Monster, why are you here? You scared me to death! I thought you were taken away!"
She knelt in front of Jiang Chengyu, holding his arms tightly with both hands, and said with tears of joy.
At this time, Jiang Shuo swam over from the other end of the swimming pool as briskly as a fish. He saw his father's nervous expression and incoherent speech, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Jiang Shuo nonchalantly clung to the edge of the swimming pool, looked up and asked, "Why are you so nervous?
I saw that the weather was good today and the sunshine was plenty, so I thought of taking my little dad out to bask in the sun.
Little Daddy hasn't left his room for a long time. It's a rare sunny day in spring."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoji said angrily, "You brought Little Daddy out without saying a word. Do you know that you scared me to death?"
Jiang Shuo looked at Mu Xiaoji's bewildered and confused look, and was a little surprised. He couldn't help but ask again: "What are you afraid of?"
Mu Xiaoji was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed across his eyes, and he quickly concealed his fear and said, "The temperature is not very high, come up quickly and put on your clothes, don't catch a cold!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, then pushed Jiang Chengyu slowly towards home.
Jiang Shuo looked at his father's back and muttered to himself inexplicably, "He keeps talking nonsense all day long. I wonder why he is so nervous? If he had known that earlier, little daddy wouldn't be like this today. Humph!"
After saying that, he pushed off the wall of the pool with his feet and fell into the water again with a "splash". Like a free little fish, he swam happily, and ripples appeared in the swimming pool, as if telling the story of the false alarm that had just happened.
Mu Xiaoji pushed Jiang Chengyu into the living room and saw Mu Huiying running down from upstairs again, with beads of sweat on her face and looking very nervous.
Mu Huiying saw the two of them coming back and standing in the living room, she asked nervously, "Have you found Yuer?" She patted her chest which was heaving violently, and the nervous look on her face eased a little.
Mu Xiaoji's face was filled with anger, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and he said helplessly: "Jiang Shuo took him to the swimming pool to bask in the sun without saying a word. I was really scared to death."
Mu Huiying heaved a sigh of relief, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and suddenly realized:
"Today is Qingming Festival, and Teacher Lin gave us a day off to visit graves. So Choubao didn't go to kindergarten today. This little guy is quite capable. How did he take Yuer out?"
As Mu Huiying spoke, she walked to the sofa breathlessly and sat down. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, trying to relieve the fatigue brought by the intense running just now.
She just took a breath when the door creaked open from the outside. Jiang Shuo came back naked from outside, holding his clothes and wearing only a pair of boxer briefs, with his hair dripping with water.
His face was filled with a huge smile, as if he had just experienced an extremely interesting adventure.
Mu Huiying's heart, which had just been relieved, was instantly lifted up again. She said nervously, "Oh, my stinky baby, you...you are...oh, really...child, you will catch a cold if you are like this."
As she spoke, she hurried to the bathroom and soon brought back a white bath towel.
While she was nagging, she wrapped Jiang Shuo up, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and gently wiped his wet little head:
"Oh my little ancestor, what a weather! You just want to go swimming? You are so young, it will be dangerous without adult supervision." Every word was emphasized, emphasizing the danger and tension.
Jiang Shuo didn't care, and comforted her with a sunny smile: "Grandma, my little daddy took me swimming a long time ago. I have a swimming medal in Kuncheng Swimming Pool."
"That won't work. The water in the pool is so cold. What if you catch a cold?" Mu Huiying scolded, her eyes full of worry.
She skillfully wiped Jiang Shuo's body with her hands, picked up his clothes, and quickly put them on his head.
Jiang Shuo enjoyed the happiness of his parents' care and blurted out excitedly: "Grandma is fine, I have swum in winter several times!"
Mu Huiying's eyes widened in surprise, and the expression on her face froze instantly. Then, she slapped Jiang Shuo's little butt and scolded:
"What? From now on, you are not allowed to go swimming alone without permission. Do you know how dangerous it is? If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to your grandparents?"
Mu Xiaoji, who had been silent for a long time, spoke slowly and comforted her: "Mom, don't be too nervous. Jiang Shuo knows his limits."
Jiang Shuo looked at Mu Huiying with his big watery eyes and nodded heavily, acknowledging his father's approval. At the same time, he used this method to tell Mu Huiying to believe in him.
Mu Huiying looked at Jiang Shuo's immature yet determined eyes, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided, replaced by endless love.
She hugged Jiang Shuo tightly in her arms, knowing that this child was hard-won. In everyone's eyes, Choubao's importance cannot be explained by the word "extremely important".
Mu Huiying kindly advised: "Stinky baby, grandma is worried about you. Don't do this next time, understand?"
Jiang Shuo nodded obediently, with a bright smile on his face again: "Grandma, I know, I will tell you first next time."
In the living room, the sun was still shining warmly, and a small storm was quietly calmed down by the care and tolerance of the family.
