Novel Full Chapter 87 - Mom
Chapter 87: Mom
Ye Qiao’s petite body was squeezing through the crowd inside the cabin with a black ‘rock’ weighing about 600 grams in her hand while repeating ‘excuse me’ as she headed to the smoking area with a smaller crowd.
Her wrist was sore!
That thing was annoying! That was the reason it was only trendy for two to three years before it disappeared from the market! Ye Qiao felt miserable as she had to wait another three years for a smaller and lighter mobile phone to be launched.
“Hello?”
“Hello? Is that Brother Xiao?” Perhaps, the reception was not very stable on the train, and there was also a lot of noise in the background, so she asked the question as she gently adjusted the antenna.
“Mom! Mom!”
Why was there a little boy?!
“Hello?”
“Hey silly, have you boarded the train? What took you so long to answer the call?” Lu Beixiao’s strong voice was heard from the other end. Ye Qiao finally felt relieved and thought that there was a telco technical error or she had misheard him.
However, the boy’s voice was lingering in her head; his voice was sweet and lovely!
“Hi, Brother Xiao! Yes, I’ve boarded the train, it’s very crowded here, and I just found a quiet corner!” She came all the way to the washroom from the sleeping cabin. Qiao Tian, Xiao Dong, and Zhou Peng were already asleep.
“You’re quite close with comrade Du Jun, aren’t you?” Comrade Du Jun, who was not usually keen to know any females, got a mobile phone for Ye Qiao. Thus, Brother Xiao sounded a little jealous when he spoke.
It was very unlikely that Ye Qiao would not get his message. “This is a thank you gift as a return since I stopped him from selling one of his pieces of land in the city. Coincidentally, a whale from the real estate industry wanted to buy it over from him after two days and has now agreed to give a share to your uncle!”
She lied. She could barely fool his uncle by playing some small tricks, but all that would definitely not work on Lu Beixiao! It was not easy for her to explain further if he happens to ask again later… she could not possibly tell him that she was reborn in this era, could she?
“Where are you hiding to make this call, though?” She quickly changed the topic.
“I’m in Lao Cai’s office! Everyone else is watching a show since the art troop is performing.” Lu Beixiao did not say anything more as he knew nothing about the world outside his basecamp.
“Why are you not watching, Brother Xiao? It’s so rare to have an opportunity to see your female colleagues.” Ye Qiao spoke sarcastically.
“A lady was trying to flirt with your Brother Xiao earlier.” A smirk appeared on Lu Beixiao’s handsome face as he was sitting on the muddy ground with his back leaned against the desk.
“Who is that?!” Instantly, Ye Qiao got jealous as she knew that he would not prank her.
“Hmmm, something like Gu… Yan…, she claimed that her mother was a close friend of my mother, but I have no memory about it at all!” Brother Xiao was pleased as the silly girl seemed to be overreacting.
Gu Xueyan! The god-daughter who was pampered very much by Madam Du! She almost forgot about this little white flower!
Did he genuinely not remember her at all? Did Ye Qiao misunderstand the situation in her previous life?
“Is she pretty, Brother Xiao?” Ye Qiao asked casually as she leaned against the wall in the cabin. In fact, she was not too bothered. She did not care who those girls were and were not interested in their names either. She would defeat each and every one of them!
“Nah, only Da Sha and the boys are interested in that kind of girl. She is just an ordinary human with two eyes and a nose to me; some men look better than her!” Lu Beixiao explained with honesty as he genuinely could not recall how the lady looked like!
Ye Qiao trusted him!
“Don’t think too much, silly girl. My love is only for you! You’re the only one I love! When are you heading back to J City?” Lu Beixiao thought that she did not believe him; hence, he quickly tried to reassure her with a gentle and loving tone as she did not speak a word.
Even though she had some experience of it in the past, she still could not resist his gentleness and love.
