Chapter 488 The Deaf Old Lady Fell
After Xu Damao's parents learned the whole story, they came to the courtyard and made a scene. However, the fact was that Lou Xiao'e had nothing to do with the incident. Although the two elders of the Xu family refused to give in, they could not change this fact.
You have to know that people at the Public Security Bureau said that this is a missing case, so it still needs to be investigated thoroughly, and the results will be told to Lou Xiaoe later.
Ran Qiuye nodded thoughtfully, agreeing, "That's right. You live alone in this courtyard, so it's inevitable that people will be a little worried about your safety."
Lou Xiao'e agreed with this and nodded gently in response. Seeing this, Ran Qiuye understood what he meant and said no more to avoid causing trouble for Lou Xiao'e.
Ran Qiuye knew that Xu Damao's life or death was unknown, so what else could she say? She could only stay with Lou Xiaoe.
At this time, Gu Nan was standing by the window, staring at the scene outside, and couldn't help wondering whether Ran Qiuye had finished his meal.
Gu Nan had originally applied to the school, hoping to go home for a family reunion during the Chinese New Year, but he never expected that the school would not approve his request.
Gu Nan never expected that he would have to spend his first New Year in a foreign land after joining the workforce. Although he felt lost and upset, he chose to endure it silently and did not easily show his emotions.
Just as Lou Xiao'e returned home to pack her luggage, the deaf old lady who had been observing secretly keenly realized that her chance had finally arrived.
She knew very well that if she didn't seize this rare opportunity, she would probably watch it slip away from her fingertips. So the deaf old lady went straight to Lou Xiao'e's home without hesitation.
When she saw Lou Xiao'e busy packing, she immediately smiled and asked kindly, "Xiao'e, what are you packing?"
Lou Xiao'e looked up when she heard the voice and replied with a smile: "Old lady, it's almost the New Year, I can't just stay at Ran Qiuye's house forever!"
The deaf old lady naturally understood what Lou Xiao'e meant, so she nodded and looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, what you said is indeed correct. Ran Qiuye's family is celebrating the New Year, so it's not good for you to be there."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect Xu Damao to get into trouble at this time, and the police haven't found him yet. I'm really worried to death."
The deaf old lady shook her head and looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, Xu Damao is not at home, and I am also alone at home for the New Year. Why don't our two families celebrate the New Year together?"
Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that the deaf old lady would still be here for this matter, so she smiled and said, "Old lady, aren't you spending the New Year with He Yuzhu and the old man from the Central Court? What am I doing here?"
The deaf old lady shook her head and looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, I know, but it's okay, let's just celebrate the New Year together today."
Lou Xiao'e originally thought that it was actually not bad, but she still smiled and said, "Grandma, no, I want to go home for the New Year this year. After all, my parents are not young anymore."
The deaf old lady thought that this was not a good idea. After all, if Lou Xiao'e went to her house, her plan would have no chance of being implemented.
At this moment, the deaf old lady suddenly had an idea and fell down.
The deaf old lady thought to herself that if she accidentally fell to the ground, a kind-hearted person like Lou Xiao'e would definitely not ignore her.
Sure enough, when the deaf old lady really fell down accidentally, Lou Xiaoe rushed forward without hesitation and asked with concern: "Old lady, what happened to you? Why did you fall down for no reason?"
Although she said this, her hands did not slow down at all. She carefully and steadily helped the deaf old lady up and walked slowly into the house step by step.
Lou Xiao'e originally planned to leave, but then she changed her mind and thought that the deaf old lady was alone at home with no one to take care of her. What would she do if something went wrong again?
I was really worried, so I decided to stay and look after the old lady. After Lou Xiao'e gently helped the deaf old lady to lie down on the kang, I couldn't help but feel happy, thinking to myself: Hey, my plan has finally succeeded. It seems that Lou Xiao'e can't leave for a while, and then I can smoothly implement my next plan.
Lou Xiao'e did her best to take care of the deaf old lady, but for some reason, she always felt that something was not right. She was always nervous, as if something was about to happen.
At this moment, Lou Xiao'e suddenly felt the urge to go to the toilet. Unexpectedly, she ran into Ran Qiuye as soon as she reached the door. Ran Qiuye asked in confusion, "Sister Xiao'e, why haven't you left yet?"
Lou Xiao'e shook her head and watched Ran Qiuye tell her everything about the deaf old lady falling down: "You said He Yuzhu is not at home now. If I don't take care of the deaf old lady, who else can take care of her?"
Ran Qiuye didn't expect that the deaf old lady would fall down at this time, but she didn't know what the deaf old lady would think or say.
Ran Qiuye saw that it was getting late, so she smiled and said, "Sister Xiao'e, it's getting late now. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave today."
Lou Xiao'e also understood this truth, but she really didn't know what to say, so she looked at Ran Qiuye: "Qiuye, I don't have any other options now."
At this time, Auntie came out, and Ran Qiuye immediately had an idea: "Sister Xiao'e, are you stupid? Auntie, can't you just tell Auntie about this?"
Lou Xiao'e thought it was a good idea. After all, He Yuzhu would be back soon, so she said a few words to Ran Qiuye and left.
Although Ran Qiuye didn't know what the deaf old lady was thinking, when she thought about how the deaf old lady treated Gu Nan, she absolutely must not let the deaf old lady's plan succeed.
Lou Xiao'e came to Auntie's house. Auntie looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, why are you here? Have you found Xu Damao?"
Everyone in the courtyard knew about Xu Damao's affairs, but no one knew where Xu Damao was now.
Lou Xiao'e shook her head. "There is still no news about Xu Damao. I was just about to go out and ask about it, but the deaf old lady in the backyard fell down. He Yuzhu hasn't come back yet. Can you help take care of her?"
The old lady thought it was something else, but when she heard that it was about taking care of a deaf old lady, she nodded.
