Chapter 1817: Not Answering

Ye Family.

Several phone calls, all going through, but nobody answered after the rings.

After calling a few times, Chen Nian got frustrated. She glanced at the screen, and seeing no one answering again, she sighed, “Mom, Jiaojiao still isn’t picking up.”

“How many calls have you made?”

Su Rong and Old Master Ye sat at the head seat. She fiddled with the tea lid and had scraped the floating tea leaves several times, but she hadn’t drunk a sip yet. Knowing it would be difficult to sleep after drinking tea at this hour, she simply set it aside.

“What time is it? She can’t be asleep yet. Keep calling.”

Chen Nian had no choice but to call again, ridiculously thinking that given their relationship with Nan Jiaojiao, it would be strange if she bothered to answer.

Su Rong asked, “Are you using my phone?”

Chen Nian took the phone away from her ear, showing the front to Su Rong.

Su Rong’s expression got a bit awkward; Nan Jiaojiao dared not to pick up her number.

Her wings have hardened; does she think getting close to the Bo Family means she can abandon the Ye Family? Not that easy!

“Keep calling. I don’t believe she can avoid her phone forever. Call until her phone is off, and if she doesn’t answer, keep calling tomorrow morning!”

Chen Nian instinctively furrowed her brows.

Like a machine, she kept dialing repeatedly, turning away to secretly take out her own phone. Ye Xinyu hadn’t come home since she wandered out in a daze earlier today, and the last message was two hours ago, she was really worried.

“Where is the second daughter-in-law?” Su Rong asked.

Chen Nian immediately responded, “I invited her to dinner, but she refused to come. Congwen has social engagements tonight and can’t return.”

Su Rong frowned, “Did you explain clearly on the phone?”

“I did, including Jiaojiao and Bo Yanching’s marriage. She didn’t react much, as you know, her relationship with Jiaojiao is always strained; it’s awkward to bring up Jiaojiao in front of her. I really couldn’t say much since it’s their family matter.”

“Short-sighted thing; I’ve long told her to mend relations with Jiaojiao. Instead, she holds the fake dear and pushes the real one away. Ye Shiqing ran away with two hundred million, and hasn’t been found yet. Now that Jiaojiao has a good match, she, as a mother, doesn’t even help arrange and mopes behind closed doors. A complete waste!”

Chen Nian pressed eyebrows, hiding the glee in her eyes.

Though Nan Jiaojiao caught some good fortune, Chen Nian had clashed with Lin Shuyun for decades, and seeing the sister-in-law suffer and get scolded delighted her.

At this moment, a car drove in outside, the headlights flashing on Su Rong’s eyes through the window glass.

She leaned slightly toward the armrest, raised an eye hinting outside, “Go see who’s back.”

Chen Nian responded, got up to walk outside. Her irritated expression changed seeing Ye Jun getting off the car, she quickly stepped up.

“Juann, why are you back so late today? Have you eaten? There’s food saved for you in the kitchen, you can eat after washing your hands.”

Ye Jun handed a box of pastries to Chen Nian, “I bought these while passing by. Didn’t you say yesterday you wanted some?”

Chen Nian beamed, “Look at you, I casually mentioned it, yet you went and bought them. That shop always has a queue; you should have let the assistant buy it. Buying by yourself wastes time.”

“I’m already off work and had nothing else to do; it doesn’t waste time.”

Ye Jun noticed Chen Nian clutched the phone in her hand, “Why are you holding grandma’s phone?”

“Ah, this…” Chen Nian immediately hid her hand behind her back, her expression uneasy.
