MMB Chapter 172 Almost Exposed
Chapter 172 Almost Exposed
The sound of Wang Xiulan sniffling came through the receiver.
Even after she opened her mouth, her words were still filled with complaints.
"How else could we know? A new girl named Xiao Zhou joined our community choir, and she's very enthusiastic."
"She saw you a few times when you came back before, and this time she sent me this video as soon as she saw it, asking if this person was you?"
"When I saw him, I knew it was my son. When I heard you in the video saying you had a fracture and bruises, and what your body looked like after being beaten, I almost fainted."
"Mingyuan, let me tell you something. Your mother is getting old, and her heart isn't very good. You need to tell us about these things sooner rather than later. You have no idea how scared your father and I were."
Chen Yuan's heart softened, and he quickly explained.
"Alright, I'm not hiding it from you, I'm just worried that you and Dad will worry. Dad is in the recovery period right now, and I don't have anything to do here, so I have to take care of Dad first."
"I'm really fine here. Our hotel has dedicated staff to take care of me. Just think of it as me staying at a hotel on a business trip, don't worry about it."
Wang Xiulan's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"You're just talking nonsense. Is staying in a hotel the same as staying at home? If you ask me, you should go home right now. When you're home, I'll take care of you and your son together."
"Whether you graze one sheep or two, you'll still be herding them. Just keep coming back, stop talking nonsense."
Chen Yuan raised his eyes, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Su Qingxue opposite him.
She flinched when she heard the word "home" coming from the receiver.
His expression immediately turned disappointed.
Chen Yuan felt a slight tightening in his heart.
"Mom, really, you don't need to."
"Let me tell you, the hotel has a constant temperature medicinal bath and a physiotherapy device, which is more convenient than at home. Moreover, we are staying in the mountains, where the negative oxygen ions are high, which is especially beneficial for the body to recover."
"If you're really worried, I can video call you every morning and evening, okay?"
Wang Xiulan sighed.
"Since you've put it that way, how can I say no? Fine, fine, but given your condition, how about we send Youyou back? I'll take care of her."
"By the way, where's Lin Wei? Is she busy with that run-down shop again?"
Hearing Wang Xiulan's clearly dissatisfied voice, Chen Yuan quickly said something.
"No, no, no, it's alright, Mom, you don't need to worry about it. I'm taking Youyou out to play for a while these next couple of days, so don't worry about it."
The two exchanged a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Chen Yuan put his phone aside. Su Qingxue pursed her lips, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke.
"You... Senior brother, when are you planning to tell me about your divorce...?"
Chen Yuan's first instinct was to say, "We'll talk about it when we can't hide it anymore."
But then he suddenly realized something.
This was clearly not the answer Su Qingxue wanted.
They've already held hands and hugged, and the unspoken understanding between them is pretty much there. Saying something like this now would be a bit irresponsible.
Su Qingxue looked at him nervously.
Chen Yuan considered it for a moment, then spoke solemnly.
"Just for three to five days. I'll go home and tell them when I'm better. Besides, my grandma is turning 80 soon, so there's no point in keeping it a secret any longer."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingxue's eyes lit up instantly.
She was so happy that she couldn't suppress her smile and nodded vigorously.
"I also think it's better to say it sooner rather than later."
Seeing her like this, Chen Yuan knew exactly what she was thinking, even at this point.
He couldn't resist reaching out his index finger and gently scraping her pert nose.
"You!"
Just then, a phone call came in.
Caller ID: "Lin Wei".
Su Qingxue's expression froze. Chen Yuan knew she also wanted to know the follow-up developments, so he took the initiative to explain.
"They called me more than 100 times and sent me more than 100 messages yesterday."
"I didn't reply, just to leave her hanging."
Su Qingxue was immediately relieved. Chen Yuan's words meant he was determined to do this.
"Senior, do you want me to help you find a lawyer? My brother has a few lawyers we have a good relationship with."
Chen Yuan's gaze fell on Su Qingxue's face, looking at her with a probing gaze.
Su Qingxue felt a little embarrassed by the stares, and a pinkish glow appeared on her beautiful face, making her look incredibly cute and alluring.
"Senior brother, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"
"Qingxue, I was just wondering, to be precise, what kind of people are in your family?"
Actually, Chen Yuan had wanted to ask about this for a long time.
Since we've brought it up today, let's just get to the bottom of it.
"Even though I don't understand some random brands, I know that Rui Rui's clothes are quite expensive. Lin Wei has mentioned to me more than once that she wanted to buy You You clothes from the same brand, but they were too expensive and she couldn't bring herself to do it."
"Rui Rui changes her outfit every day; she's always dressed differently whenever she sees me."
Su Qingxue's mind raced.
"Well... my sister-in-law is just more willing to buy it for the kids."
Chen Yuan said, "Also, doesn't your brother really like my millet porridge? He sends someone over to get fresh porridge every day. Once I heard the driver call your brother 'General Manager Su'."
"Well……"
Su Qingxue bit her lip: Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and make things up!
At this moment, Chen Yuan seemed to remember something and said something else.
"I remember your family used to own a supermarket, right? These days, supermarket owners are called 'boss'?"
Su Qingxue quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, Ms. Su was just joking. Our family runs a small supermarket, and now that it's grown a little, people are calling us 'Mr.'"
"A small supermarket?" Chen Yuan seemed to believe her. "Where is your supermarket again? Anyway, if it's not far, I'll buy things from your supermarket from now on."
Before Su Qingxue could speak, Chen Yuan spoke again.
"But now there are Hualian supermarkets everywhere in our city, and not many other large supermarkets. There are two right outside my house, so I often go there to shop."
Su Qingxue thought to herself, "Senior brother, thank you for your contribution to our supermarket."
But she still spoke very modestly.
"Our store is just a small supermarket, and it's quite far from where you live. You can just go to Hualian to buy it."
talking.
Su Qingxue took out several cards from her bag.
"This is a gift card from Hualian Supermarket. It was given to my dad by someone else, but he doesn't need it. I'm eating and drinking with you every day now, so you can have this."
Chen Yuan took it and looked at it.
There are five or six cards, each worth 1000 yuan.
"Looks like your dad's business is pretty big."
"It's just so-so~"
After Su Qingxue finished fooling Chen Yuan...
The two children outside were getting impatient.
Chen Youyou called out, "Dad! Why aren't you done yet? We want to go upstairs to play!"
Chen Yuan didn't have time to think it through and stuffed the card in his hand into his pocket.
Su Qingxue went out first to keep the two children company.
Chen Yuan quickly sent a message to Lin Wei.
Have you thought it through?
