The necklace is gone, and there are only three people in the family, either the wife or the son took it. The old lady sat dry for a while, then dug out her son's number from the phone and called.
The color bell on the phone rang three times repeatedly before finally being picked up.
Ning Kaize's voice was a little impatient, "Mom, what's the matter with you?"
"Aze, have you seen Mom's necklace?"
"What necklace, how do I know, you go ask Ella, maybe she will take it away." After a short pause, Ning Kaize replied.
"It won't be Xiao Ai who took it. If she takes it, she will tell me." The old lady was anxious and didn't notice the strangeness in her son's words.
"Do you think I took it? That broken necklace, what am I holding it for! Maybe she secretly took it without telling you."
"Impossible, Xiao Ai will never do this." The old lady said firmly.
"Whether she is your own or I am your own, why do I say that it is impossible or impossible for you, and she can do anything when it's her turn." Ning Kaize's tone was a little mixed. anger.
"Xiao Ai never lied..."
"Okay, stop talking." Ning Kaize interrupted the old lady bluntly, "What else do you have to do, I'll hang up.
The old lady noticed her son's impatience, and the corners of her mouth drooped down, "Why can't I call you if I have nothing to do? How many days have you been away from home!"
"It's not like you don't know that I'm busy, did Ella say something to you again?" Ning Kaize sat behind the desk with a look of hesitation.
"What is Xiao Ai, what did you say? Your daughter-in-law is busy all day, and you find fault with her every day. Isn't she just trying to open some kind of exhibition? It's great, there's nothing to be angry about."
"Mom, don't worry about it if you don't understand, she's just a nonsense, it's not that easy to open an exhibition now." Ning Kaize raised his voice slightly, "You're not in good health, she doesn't take care of you at home, but goes to the house every day. Running from the studio, who's daughter-in-law looks like her."
The mother and son almost quarreled because of Ella. Thinking of his wife who suddenly changed her mind and insisted on holding a jewelry exhibition, Ning Kaize became more and more annoyed. He crawled through his hair with his fingers, and said to the mother who was still chattering on the phone: "Okay Mom, I still have something to do to hang up first. You don't care about Ella and I."
Having said that, before the old lady could say anything, the phone was hung up.
The old lady fed several times loudly, and there was only a beep on the other end of the phone.
She stood up angrily, wandered around the house several times, and simply went out with the key.
Since her son is so busy that she has no time to connect to her phone, she will go straight to him!
The son's company is only ten minutes away from home. The old lady has been there with her daughter-in-law several times. She still remembers the road, so she just walked slowly and leisurely along the road.
Cars were parked on both sides of the road, and the old lady had to walk next to the car. The eyes of the person with the sun dazzling above their heads could not be opened. The old lady stopped to take a breath. In front of her was her son's company.
She wiped her sweat and looked left and right, but no car passed by. She stepped onto the zebra crossing and was about to cross the road when a red car suddenly turned from the side road and drove towards her.
The car brushed past her, and she was startled and sat on the ground.
The car stopped a few dozen meters away, and a tall woman stepped out of the car. The woman had long curly hair, sunglasses, and bright red lips. While talking on the phone, she walked towards the old lady. come over.
The old lady stared at the woman who was getting closer, and suddenly her pupils shrank.
The man was wearing a white gauze and a nine-point hakama of the same color. On her chest, the red pendant drew an arc as she walked.
The pendant looked ordinary and was made of thick brown rope. The only thing that stood out was the flat agate pendant the size of a ping-pong ball in the center.
The red agate seems to be a bit more gorgeous than what has been seen in the market. What is even more peculiar is that in the center of the agate, a pattern of phoenix wings can be vaguely seen.
When the light passes through, the pattern becomes clearer.
The old lady will never admit her mistake, that agate is the family heirloom she lost - the heart-returning stone.
The woman looked at the old lady who was still sitting on the ground, with a silly look, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, thinking that she was really unlucky today, and she actually met Pengci'er. As he walked, he said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Honey, I'll be there soon. I have an accident. Wait for me to find you."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say. The woman smiled coquettishly and unconsciously raised the necklace on her chest, "Of course I like the necklace you gave me, I'm wearing it today."
The woman didn't mean to avoid the old lady at all, she didn't lower her voice, she didn't know what she heard, raised her brows and said loudly: "I tell you, the necklace is on me now, it's mine, whether it's your mother or you Wife, don't even think about taking this thing."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be subdued, and the woman's expression softened. She snorted softly, "Okay, of course I know you're good to me, and I'll be over in a while."
After the woman hung up the phone, she took out her wallet from her bag, took out a stack of red notes, and said to the old lady condescendingly, "Okay, stop pretending, I'll give you the money and go."
After a long while, seeing that the old lady didn't accept the money, she lost her patience, "What do you mean, are you going to rely on me?"
The old lady put her hand on the ground and stood up for a long time. Without looking at the money in her hand, she pointed to the necklace on her chest and asked, "Why is this chain on you?"
"What necklace?" Seeing more and more people watching around, the woman rolled her eyes and said uncomfortably, "Of course it was given by my boyfriend. Hey, what are you trying to do, robbery!"
Seeing that the old lady came to pull her necklace without saying a word, the woman dexterously hid and pushed the person out.
The old lady was pushed aside by her at once, wrinkled a bit, and she managed to stand firm while holding on to the car parked beside her.
The woman shouted to the people around her: "You have all seen it. She stole my things. I tell you, this is a touch of porcelain."
Finding that the people around had already started taking pictures, the woman snorted and didn't mention the money, turned around and walked into the car, and soon drove her car away.
It was a while after the woman left, and there were still people around the old lady taking pictures. Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, they gradually lost interest and dispersed.
The old lady looked at the direction where the car disappeared, her lips were trembling, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
