C179 (1/2)

It was a quiet afternoon, but when she received the call from the old house, even the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

”Young Master, Old Mistress Xiang, she … ”She …” Aunt Chen's voice came out of the phone in a stutter. He was so excited that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

”Aunt Chen, don't be in such a rush. Tell me slowly, what happened to Grandmother?” Xiang Qicheng spoke gently on the other end of the phone, but he was very nervous.

Usually, a phone call from the old residence would not be a good thing, but this time, Aunt Chen would stumble over his grandmother's matter, which made him even more afraid, could it be that something happened to Grandmother?

But what could happen to a person lying in bed?

”Old Mistress Xiang... ”He seems to have woken up …”

”What?” His pupils constricted as he asked in disbelief.

Then, without any hesitation, he immediately added into the phone, ”Aunt Chen, I will go back to my country now. Call the doctor first to check on the situation!”

After hanging up, he had the assistant contact the driver and book the fastest flight ticket. When the car arrived, Xiang Qicheng got on the car with Chu Yu and rushed to the airport.

Returning from Australia, the fastest way to get there would be tomorrow afternoon. Furthermore, the plane ticket he booked would also be for the afternoon, and it was still quite a distance from the villa to the airport, causing Xiang Qicheng to be even more worried.

Old Mistress Xiang had been asleep for so many years, did she finally want to wake up?

However, Xiang Qicheng was the most worried about other reasons. He had always heard the elders saying ”reflection in the light” before, and it was to the effect that people would suddenly become energetic before they die, just like after they recovered. However, it was actually the last signal sent out by their body functions before they died.

What he was afraid of was that the Old Mistress Xiang waking up this time was because of the afterglow.

To Xiang Qicheng, the Old Mistress Xiang was the most important family member in his life, even more important than Father Xiang. If the person who pushed Old Mistress Xiang down the stairs wasn't Chu Yu, then Xiang Qicheng would have definitely let that person die a miserable death, and let him taste all kinds of suffering.

But unfortunately, that person was Chu Yu, he was unwilling to part with him. Therefore, he also used that reason to keep her imprisoned by his side as a servant.

When they arrived at the airport, there was a bustling crowd. There was still more than an hour before their flight. The two of them sat in the departure lounge and waited.

Xiang Qicheng lowered his head and lowered his eyes, the emotions could not be seen clearly, but Chu Yu could feel the worry and fear in his heart.

After hanging up the phone with the old house, he didn't explain too much, but just spoke a few words to tell Chu Yu that he was about to return to China and quickly pack up. She didn't ask any further and just followed him out of the car, and they soon arrived at the airport.

Reaching out to cover the back of his hand, Chu Yu consoled him in a soft voice, ”Don't worry, Old Mistress Xiang will definitely be fine.”

Xiang Qicheng raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yu, and his eyes were suddenly moved.

Last year, when Chu Xuan forced Chu Xuan to become homeless in his home in Australia and called Chu Yu who was far away, he accompanied her to the airport to return. He held her hand to comfort her while they waited at the cold airport.
