322: 317 Baby misses Daddy (first update) 322: 317 Baby misses Daddy (first update) Xiaofeng was moved as she listened to the other party’s deep and pleasant voice, her breath softened and relaxed, “Yes, I can tell.”
“I bought you a phone, I’ll bring it to you when I co over in a few days,” Ye Cheng ntioned as if it were a trivial matter.
Xiaofeng’s lips twitched, sensing he was about to give her a bulky old-style mobile phone, “There’s not much going on recently, it doesn’t matter if you don’t co back.”
It’s not a short trip from the Imperial Capital to here, toing and froing is exhausting.
Ye Cheng felt sothing stuck in his throat as he listened to her indifferent tone, “You don’t want to co back?”
Having not seen her for just a few days, Ye Cheng felt as if he had been gone a very long ti.
Could it be that only he felt this way, and she didn’t care whether she saw him or not?
“That’s not it, I just think the journey is too long, and it’s tiring for you to travel back and forth.
Besides, didn’t you say your family is busy?
You should attend to the family matters first, and co back after you’re done.” Missing soone, if you think about it, it exists, if you don’t, it doesn’t.
“So that ans you haven’t missed .” Ye Cheng felt sowhat hurt, realizing that perhaps he missed her more than she missed him.
“It’s not completely nonexistent,” Xiaofeng chuckled with a guilty sound, “I might not miss you much, but the babies definitely miss their dad.”
Hearing her perfunctory tone, Ye Cheng had the urge to spank her.
What did she an by she might not miss him much?
Missing soone is straightforward, either you do or you don’t, and yet she says ‘might.’
“I think it’s the mother who misses and is too shy to say it, so she says the babies miss their dad,” Ye Cheng teased from the other end of the call.
Xiaofeng burst into laughter, “You’ve guessed it.”
Ye Cheng was fairly satisfied with her response, and they continued their chat for a while before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, she realized that her brother and i Sanying were smiling at her ambiguously.
“Xiaofeng, is Ye Cheng coming back?” i Sanying casually asked.
“Yes, he insists on not trusting to be alone and wants to co back and check on ,” Xiaofeng replied while taking her bowl to the kitchen.
“He cares about you, that’s a good thing,” Su Peng also finished his drink and followed her into the kitchen, “Sis, I think you shouldn’t overwork yourself; just stay wherever Ye Cheng is.”
One here and one there, that’s no way for a married couple to live.
“I’ll ask mom to find you a match when I go ho tomorrow,” Xiaofeng glanced at her big brother, a normally clear-minded, robust man who would certainly make many girls swoon.
“Fine, I’ll leave you and Ye Cheng alone then,” Su Peng imdiately surrendered at the prospect of matchmaking, “I’ve lived in vain for over twenty years, now that tis are good, of course, I should strive first.
Marrying isn’t a rush.”
“Yes, no rush.
When the right girl cos along, we’ll see if you’re in a hurry,” Xiaofeng teased him.
“When you et the right person, you should definitely hold on to them, right?
Just like you and Ye Cheng, he’s pretty good, and you’ve got to keep a tight hold on him, so you don’t give another woman a chance,” Su Peng teased Xiaofeng in return.
“Right, you’re correct,” Xiaofeng washed the bowl, “Such a good man; indeed, I shouldn’t let him slip away.
Oh, and big brother, could you find so ti to accompany to the shelf company tomorrow?”
“Sure, no problem.”
…
“Hey, isn’t that Lin Yue?
Lin Yue, what are you doing here?” Su Xiaotao walked out of a hair salon and saw Lin Yue wandering the street, calling out to her.
Lin Yue turned to look at her without much reaction; she seed not to rember knowing the person in front of her.
“You surely don’t recognize , I’m Su Xiaofeng’s good friend, Su Xiaotao.
I once saw you from a distance when I went with your sister to see your mom.
Don’t take it personally, but you’re much prettier than Xiaofeng, though you haven’t blossod yet.
Once you do, you’ll surely be a great beauty,” remarked Su Xiaotao, who had heard about the severed ties between Su Xiaofeng and the Luo Family.
“She is just an ungrateful person; my mom treated her so well, and she repaid kindness with malice,” Lin Yue had been having a rough ti these past few days.
Lin Jing kept pushing her to find work, but being a student who had never even washed a dish at ho, what could she possibly do?
Hence she was tempted by a hair salon not far away offering thirty a day for a shampoo girl, thinking of giving it a try.
“You’re right, she is petty-minded and holds grudges,” Su Xiaotao followed her gaze, her eyes spinning, “Are you looking for a job?”
The Lin Family is quite wealthy; Lin Yue shouldn’t be reduced to such a state as to co to a hair salon and work as a shampoo girl.
A look of embarrassnt appeared on Lin Yue’s face.
If it weren’t for Su Xiaofeng’s refusal to help, which led to the Lin Family’s troubles, she wouldn’t have found herself in a position to be ridiculed.
Shaking her head, “No, I’m just strolling around the neighborhood.
Our family’s situation…
how could it possibly require to co out and work.”
“I was wondering too; you’re the second young lady of the Lin Family.
With the Lin Family being so wealthy, how could you possibly need to co out and earn money?” Taozi chatted with her calmly, “I was just about to go eat; how about we go together?
My treat.”
“How could I impose?
We aren’t even close.”
“Wouldn’t we beco close after sharing a al?” Xiaotao took her hand and headed to the restaurant, “Your sister is doing quite well now, you know that, right?”
“Su Xiaofeng is not my sister; she’s just soone my mother picked up.
She has no blood relation to .” Lin Yue imdiately denied, “I hate her.”
“I hate her too,” Xiaotao said, as if she had found a kindred spirit, “If it weren’t because of her, I wouldn’t have married a scoundrel.”
“You hate her too?” Hearing Xiaotao express dislike for that woman, Lin Yue’s spirits lifted imdiately, “But why do you hate her?
Didn’t you say she was your good friend?”
“She used to be a good friend, not anymore.
Since she sched and got married off to that man, she has beco my enemy in my heart,” Xiaotao said, almost through gritted teeth, “And why don’t you like her?”
Lin Yue was innately naive and couldn’t keep things to herself, “My mom asked her for help to set the Wu Family straight, but she didn’t step up, which led to our family’s troubles.”
Speaking of this, Lin Yue beca angry, “Not only did she refuse to help, but when I went to borrow money from her, she said she could only lend fifty dollars.
What kind of person does that?”
“Your family ran into troubles?” Xiaotao asked.
“Yes, we’ve had troubles,” Lin Yue responded without enthusiasm, “Our Lin Family isn’t as glorious as before.
Now, ho is nearly out of rice, so I thought of coming out to look for a job.”
“That can’t be; wasn’t your family wealthy before?
I rember Luo Yuzhu asking for twenty thousand yuan when she ca to find Xiaofeng, demanding that your mother give her twenty thousand before she would return with her.” This was no secret in the village.
“What?” Lin Yue was suddenly agitated upon hearing this; she wondered just how much her mother had given the other party, “You’re telling the truth?”
“Everyone in our village knows,” Xiaotao could confirm, “You said you wanted to find a job.”
The other party was young with a good appearance and a slim figure.
If Lin Yue were to work for her, business would surely not be a concern.
However, Lin Yue was, after all, from the Lin Family.
Until she was certain whether the Lin Family had indeed fallen on hard tis, she dared not make a move on her.
“Yes, we don’t have money at ho, and my grandma won’t let go to school anymore.
She’s set on having find a job.
I’m just a student; a regular company wouldn’t take .”
“You’re still under eighteen; it’s indeed difficult to find a job.” Xiaotao wasn’t in a hurry; this matter would be better once the other party took the bait, “I work at that salon.
The pay is quite good, and the work is easy.
Just washing clients’ hair and sotis giving them shoulder massages, it’s relaxing.”
“Really?” Lin Yue’s eyes lit up, “I’m afraid I can’t manage hard labor, and I fear easy jobs won’t take .
Look at , do you think they’d hire ?”
Easy work with decent pay was exactly what she was looking for.
“I could tell these are skillful hands as soon as I saw them; you’ll definitely do fine.
But you should still discuss this with your family first.
If your family agrees, then co find .
If they don’t agree, then it’s better to forget about it.”
Lin Yue was also sowhat hesitant, “Alright, I’ll ask my grandma and see if she’ll let go.”
Perhaps her grandmother still had money and wanted her to go back to school instead of working.
“If you want to work with , just co to the salon and look for .”
“Alright, sister, you’re such a good person.” Lin Yue smiled sweetly at Xiaotao.
Lin Yue’s deanor reminded Taozi of Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng was like this before too—naive, agreeing to whatever she said, and seemingly very simple.
Would you call them dumb?
Not really.
They were actually quite clever, but because they were not wary of people, they seed a bit foolish.
How exactly Su Xiaofeng beca smart, Xiaotao no longer rembered.
It seed to start when Xiaofeng got pregnant; from then on, she was a different person from before.
