However, He Rong quickly adjusted her breathing and dialed Le Yao's cell phone again.

The car had just left the mall when Le Yao's phone rang again. She picked it up and glanced at it; it was the same crazy person from before. Ignoring it, she put it back in her bag.

However, the other party seemed persistent; even after the time was up and the call ended, they would continue playing.

"Alan, you should answer it," Han Xiangdong said, glancing at Le Yao. "What if something urgent comes up?"

Le Yao thought about it for a moment and agreed. However, as soon as she picked up her phone, it was disconnected again because of the timeout. Her phone showed that there were already four missed calls. She shrugged and realized that it wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but that she had hung up.

Han Xiangdong smiled and said nothing more.

Le Yao originally thought the other party wouldn't call again, but as soon as she entered the house, Liu Sujuan told her that someone claiming to be her mother-in-law had called Han Baozhu's cell phone, and she was the one who answered.

"My mother-in-law?" Le Yao frowned. Nangong Jue's mother? Why was she looking for her?

"That's what she said, she told you to call her back."

"Alright, I understand." Le Yao nodded, but... even your son doesn't like you, why should I? You think I'll call back just because you tell me to? Don't I have any dignity?

Liu Sujuan wanted to say something more, but after glancing at Le Yao, she swallowed her words. This daughter had her own ideas, so she shouldn't nag.

He Rong had been waiting for Le Yao's call, but it never came. Frustrated, he smashed his phone. Luckily, the floor was carpeted, so the phone was unharmed.

Le Yao sent a screenshot of the caller ID to Nangong Jue: "We're getting a divorce anyway, so please don't let your mother bother me. I'm afraid she might accidentally hurt the old lady."

Nangong Jue glanced at the caller ID on the screenshot, then at the message content, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She really was restless. She picked up the phone and dialed: "You're looking for Alan?"

"I'm your mother, how come you don't even know to greet me?" He Rong was already in a bad mood, and now she became even more scathing. "That bitch actually dared to tattle? I..."

"Who's more shameless than you?" Nangong Jue said calmly, immediately cutting off He Rong's words. "I'm warning you, don't touch her, or else..."

"Otherwise, what are you going to do?" He Rong suddenly screamed. "Are you going to kill your mother?"

"If I were to commit matricide, I would take my own life with me. You are not worth it. However, it would be easy to leave you with nothing. Don't think I'm joking. Try it if you don't believe me."

"You..." He Rong wanted to get angry, but she knew that her anger would be useless against her son. She could only take a deep breath. "I didn't mean anything by it. After all, we're mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I'm going to Xiling City tomorrow. I can't count on you as my son, so it shouldn't be a problem to have my daughter-in-law pick me up, right?"

"What are you doing in Xiling City?" Nangong Jue frowned.

“I recently met a man online, who lives in Xiling City. We get along very well, and I’m going to meet him. If things go well, I might get married,” He Rong said casually.

Nangong Jue chuckled and said, "Suit yourself, but don't look for her." He then slammed down the phone.

"You damn bastard!" He Rong cursed angrily, then snorted, "You think you can just stop looking for me like that?"
