Meanwhile, Lin Yebai, after enrolling Xiaobao in the new kindergarten, returned to the place he and his mother were renting, only to discover that Ye Ning had not come back yet. So, he made a phone call.
"Hello? Aning, haven’t you come back yet?"
Ye Ning immediately tensed up, "Not... not yet, Brother Lin, there’s some issues at the company, so I got busy."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yebai’s expression suddenly turned ugly, "You’re injured , and they’re still making you work? Is Ou Mucen even human? Stop what you’re doing, I’m coming to pick you up right now."
Having said that, he was about to leave to get the car.
Sitting in the car, Ye Ning heard the movement and was scared, her face turning pale, "No need, Brother Lin. I just need to finish this task at hand because I am the only one who knows how to do it, and it just so happens to be urgent. Don’t worry, as soon as I’m done, I’ll head back."
When Ye Ning spoke, perhaps due to her urgency, her voice was much louder and she completely failed to notice the movements of the other person in the car.
It wasn’t until she had finished her call that she felt the atmosphere in the car suddenly quiet down, and the man who had been on the phone the entire time was no longer making calls. The silence in the car was now overly oppressive.
"Brother Lin? Lin Yebai..."
"Your master really does care a lot about you. Not only teaching you how to appraise treasures, but also caring so much for your life, even offering you help. What now? Is he even trying to restrict your personal freedom?"
Sitting behind, Ye Ning heard the sarcastic remark from the man in front and felt truly uncomfortable, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by restricting personal freedom?"
Ou Mucen sneered, "Isn’t it true? I clearly heard him tracking you and he’s even coming to pick you up. What do you think, should I leave you here now? Maybe send him a location so he can come here to pick you up?"
Leave her here? And then have Lin Yebai come to pick her up? He must be crazy!
Ye Ning finally got angry, straightening up from the back seat to confront him, and she glared at him, pronouncing every word, "Ou Mucen, you’re going too far. I wasn’t planning on going to work today, but because of the mess at your house yesterday, my child is too scared to go to kindergarten. It was my master who took pity on us and came over to help find a new kindergarten for my child. Instead of being sympathetic, you speak so disgustingly. Don’t you have any conscience at all?"
Ye Ning really let loose, after all, it wasn’t the first time she had argued with him. If he wanted to leave her here, then let it be.
However, unexpectedly, after she lashed back with these words, the man who had been mocking her in the front seat merely glanced at her coldly in the rearview mirror and said nothing more.
The man is a complete lunatic!
Seeing that he was silent, Ye Ning lost interest in speaking further. She glanced at her watch and realized it was already past 12 o’clock, which made her feel even worse.
The drive from A City to B City usually takes about two hours. Secretary Gao said that his visit to B City was to sign a contract with a client, so, considering the time, it shouldn’t take too long. Perhaps, he could return by the afternoon.
With this in mind, she took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Yebai on WeChat, "Brother Lin, I should be able to return in the afternoon. Please take care of Xiaobao for me."
