Chapter 1606 - Your Mom

Chapter 1606: Your Mom
“Uncle, I’m fine. Let’s go together now.” Ye Youyou quickly nudged Li Jinnan in panic.
Li Xiao glanced at Ye Youyou. The expression on his face warmed up. At least she was considerate and understanding.
He lowered his eyes to look at Ye Youyou’s abdomen and said, “Let’s have dinner first. Don’t worry about me. I’m not used to any of the food in the North at all.”
Rong Xuan was a Southerner. She would prepare her dishes according to Li Jianqian’s preferences. If he was lucky, it was possible he’d be able to enjoy some of that good food too.
This lady was a Northerner, and she seemed very shy. It was likely that she’d feel embarrassed eating at a stranger’s home. Perhaps it wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Ye Youyou thought that Li Xiao wasn’t pleased with her and felt a little down. She dejectedly pursed her lips and didn’t say anything further.
“You should go for a checkup when you get the chance. Since you’re now pregnant, how can you not know how far along the fetus is? How can you be so muddleheaded as parents?” Li Xiao shook his head and said, “I’ll make a move first.”
“Sure. I’ll give you a lift!” Li Jinnan walked forward and said, “Dad, I have a car. I’ll give you a ride.”
“Do you know the way?” Li Xiao asked.
“I do,” Li Jinnan replied. “Coincidentally, there’s a restaurant near there that’s pretty good. It’s along the way.”
“Alright.” Li Xiao didn’t bother with pleasantries. This was his son, after all.
The three of them had just gotten into the car when Ye Youyou’s mobile phone started to ring again. It was Ye Tian.
When Ye Youyou saw it, she grew extremely annoyed. She switched off her mobile phone and put her out of her mind.
–
Ye Tian had called many times. The calls had gotten through, but no matter what, the calls weren’t answered. When she called again, the phone was switched off.
She flew into a rage and screamed in exasperation, “That little b*tch!”
The maid was at the side clearing the dinner table. When she heard that exclamation, she didn’t dare make a sound. She glanced at Ye Tian. When their eyes met, she quickly looked down and didn’t take a second peek.
Ye Tian’s fury boiled over. She hollered, “Mrs. Sun!”
Mrs. Sun was surprised by Ye Tian’s sudden call. She looked over and yelled back. “Madam, are you looking for me?”
“Go upstairs and get me the phonebook that is by my bedside!” Ye Tian yelled.
The tone of that statement was that of an order. There wasn’t an ounce of respect in it at all. It was akin to back in the old days when the imperial concubines of the emperor used to treat the palace servants badly.
Mrs. Sun wasn’t happy to be spoken to in such a manner. Given the current situation, she had no choice but to oblige.
She ran up to the room as fast as she could to retrieve the phonebook. When she handed it over to Ye Tian, the latter simply snatched it from her without a word.
Ye Tian flipped a couple of pages and found the number she was looking for. She quickly dialed it.
–
The anniversary party for the company Ye Qianqian worked in started at 8 p.m.
Her superior was in the middle of speaking. Ye Qianqian was standing, dressed in a pretty and elegant short dress. Suddenly, her bag vibrated. Her phone was ringing.
Many people looked over. Ye Qianqian quickly switched her phone to silent mode while smiling in apology. When she lowered her head and saw that the number was from the Capital, she grew angry. It had to be a prank call.
She brutally cut the call off only to have the phone immediately ring again. Ye Qianqian looked at the number and began to feel unsettled.
The call was from the Capital and made in succession. Perhaps it was really from someone who was looking for her. Ye Youyou had run into some problems in the Capital lately.
After a moment’s thought, Ye Qianqian’s got up and left the room to answer the call. “Hello. May I know who’s calling?”
Ye Qianqian was extremely courteous, but the line was silent for a long moment before a female voice finally came through, “Your mom*.”
Ye Qianqian flew into an immediate rage. “F*ck you! Why the hell would you keep calling if you were just going to curse?”
