She had not yet entered the room when a small figure suddenly dashed out, leaping up and snatching the phone from her hand.
"Mommy!" Xiaocong shouted into the phone.
Hearing her child’s voice, Lin Xinlan’s eyes immediately reddened.
It really was Mommy’s voice!
"Mommy, where are you?!" Xiaocong asked urgently, his big eyes instantly brimming with tears.
"I..." A finger extended and suddenly cut off the call!
Lin Xinlan looked up in shock to see Lu Xiaofan standing before her.
"What are you doing?" Lu Xiaofan asked coldly, a look of inquiry and suspicion in his eyes.
Lin Xinlan was stunned for two seconds before hanging up the phone, feeling deep regret and frustration, but she could not show any of it.
"I was calling my son."
Lu Xiaofan crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "If you have a chance to make calls, why not call Rong Shaoze?"
Lin Xinlan did not say a word.
Rong Shaoze knew she was here, whether she called him or not didn’t matter.
But her child at home was worried about her, she had to call him to ease his mind.
If only she had a few more seconds just now, she just wanted to tell her child that she was fine and he didn’t need to worry about her.
"Mommy, Mommy!" There was no sound from the other side, but Xiaocong called out anxiously, still hoping to hear his mother’s voice even though he knew the call was disconnected.
"Xiaocong, what did your mom say?" Young Madam squatted down and asked him.
He bit his lip, struggling to hold back the tears in his eyes, looking very aggrieved and sad.
Mommy didn’t get a chance to say anything, she had only called his name, nothing more...
Young Madam knew he was missing his mommy, so she held him in her arms, caressing his head and soothing him softly, "Good grandson, don’t be sad. Your dad will surely bring your mom back, and you’ll be reunited soon."
"Grandma, I miss Mommy," Xiaocong sniffled, saying softly.
"Grandma knows, Grandma misses her too, and so does Dad. We all miss her."
"Grandma, I want to call Dad and tell him that Mommy called me."
"Okay, let Grandma make the call."
Young Madam dialed Rong Shaoze’s number and told him what had just happened.
The person on the other end said in a deep voice, "Mom, Xinlan will be fine for now, don’t worry, and Xiaocong shouldn’t either."
"Shaoze, where are you now? When will you be back?"
"Mom, I’m not coming back for now, but I promise you, Xinlan and I will both return home safely."
"Alright, I believe you."
Just as Young Madam hung up the phone, a servant approached respectfully and said, "Madam, there is a gentleman outside who says he wishes to see the Young Madam, how would you like to handle this?"
"Did he say who he is?"
The servant shook his head, "He only said that the Young Madam is his benefactor and he has come to express his gratitude to her."
"Grandma, let’s meet him," Xiaocong pleaded.
Right now, he didn’t want to miss anything related to Mommy.
Young Madam nodded, instructing the servant to invite him in.
The visitor walked in, dressed in simple clothes, yet tall and sturdy in build, a young man who carried an air of vigor.
Seeing Young Madam, his expression was indifferent, "May I ask if Miss Lin is home?"
"Sir, may I ask how should I address you?" Young Madam inquired politely.
The man’s gaze landed on Xiaocong, a flash of astonishment appearing in his eyes.
Xiaocong hurriedly introduced himself.
