Chapter 222: Video Call
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hai Tang was really not used to the feeling of Gu Yun sleeping next to her. This made her heart itch. She felt a little awkward and awl«vard, so she said awkwardly,” Uh, Gu Yun, do you want to go downstairs for breakfast?”
This sentence was obviously ant to chase him away.
Gu Yun was about to sigh and tell Hai Tang that he would leave when there was a knock on the door.
It was the nanny, Mrs. Landis.” Madam, you left your phone in the swimsuit room last night. I saw it when I was cleaning this morning.”
Hai Tang glanced at Gu Yun. She guessed that Gu Yun probably didn’t want Mrs. Liu to see him like he had just woken up. She replied,” I know, Mrs. Liu. Put your phone at the door.”
“Eh, alright!” Mrs. Landis replied. She had just put down her phone at the door when she continued, “Madam, I saw that your phone screen lit up. It seems that you have received a call.”
“Okay, I’ll get my phone.” Hai Tang replied.
It was only eight o’clock in the morning. Who would call her?
Bewildered, Hai Tang put on her slippers and walked to the door. She opened the door and took the phone from Mrs. Landis.
She was stunned when she saw the caller.
It was actually her adoptive mother, Shu i. Moreover, it was a video call. Hai Tang closed the door, sowhat at a loss. She sat down on the bed, not daring to answer the phone for a mont.
This was the first ti Shu i had video called her. Was she looking for Hai Yuan?
But she had given Haiyuan her phone, so Shu i did not need to call her. Hai Tang thought that Shu i hated her and did not want to see her.
Seeing Hai Tang’s troubled and conflicted look, Gu Yun asked, “Who called?”
“My adoptive mother.” Hai Tang said. She stared blankly at the shining phone screen, worried that Shu i wouldn’t want to wait, so she hung up.
Hence, she gritted her teeth, mustered up her courage, and answered the call.
Shu i’s face appeared on the screen. She was sitting at a desk by the window. It was dark outside the window.
It seed to be very late at Shu i’s place. Hai Tang was a little dazed.
‘ Haiyuan’s father and I are overseas,” Shu i asked first.” There’s a ti difference. It should be around eight or nine o’clock at your place, right?” Did I wake you up?
Hai Tang quickly squeezed out a smile and waved her hand. I’m already up.”
“Are you looking for Haiyuan?” she asked after so thought. He should be sleeping in the room downstairs now.”
“It’s fine. He’s sleeping.” Shu i shook her head.
“Yes…” Hai Tang nodded obediently. The two of them fell silent for a mont. Shu i quietly looked at her through the screen. For a mont, Hai Tang even felt that Shu i was looking at soone else through her.
Feeling a little awkward, Hai Tang took the initiative to find a topic to talk about.” Actually, I don’t work at Yuheng anymore. I opened my own shop. I sell paintings and also take orders for custom-made clothes.”
Shu i nodded calmly and replied,” It’s not bad not to work. I felt that Yu Heng was not suitable for you from the beginning. He can’t give you
happiness.”
Hearing this, Hai Tang was a little absent-minded. This was the first ti Shu i had chatted with her as an elder.
In the past, in the Hai family, Shu i did not like Hai Tang to call her mother. The two of them had very little interaction, and their identities were more like equals. Or rather, Shu i did not care about Hai Tang’s existence at all.
Hai Tang did not dare to call Shu i auntie. All these years, she had not had a suitable way to address Shu i, so she ca over awkwardly.
Hai Tang did not know what kind of image and identity Shu i had in her heart.
As the adopted daughter of the Hai family, she was lucky enough to have a
place to stay, but it also made her feel inferior and painful.
But she quickly replied to Shu i, “Yes, I realized this later, so I corrected it in ti.” Fortunately, it’s not too late. My shop’s business is good now. Recently,
Gu Yun and I even brought Haiyuan out to play.”
On the other end of the video call, Shu i’s expression gradually softened.”
Where are we playing? Is that child Hai Yuan being mischievous again?”
At the ntion of her brother, Hai Tang couldn’t help but smile dotingly. She explained,” No, Hai Yuan has been doing very well recently. He obediently attended Mathematical Olympiad and guitar lessons. He also got along very well with Gu Yun’s sister, Xiao Song. By the way, we were playing at the beach.. Yesterday, we saw pink dolphins and ate a lot of delicious seafood..
