Chapter 52 Phone
After they finished eating the noodles, Luo Xiao saw them off.
In the villa that was bustling just now, he was the only one left.
Luo Xiao felt like he had forgotten something. After thinking for a while, he remembered: honey!
I forgot the honey.
That day Yan Zhiyi picked him up and sent him back here. He just put the things he brought with him there without opening them.
Luo Xiao felt a little annoyed. If he had remembered it earlier, he would have given each of them two bottles.
But it’s not a big problem, just let them take it later.
When he felt he had nothing to do and was about to enter the space, his cell phone on the coffee table rang.
Luo Xiao quickly went to get his cell phone.
When he saw another unremarked number calling his phone, Luo Xiao looked at the first digits of the place of origin and made a guess.
Sure enough, his guess was correct, because after he answered the phone, he confirmed who was calling.
[Hello, hello, is this Xiaoxiao? I'm your mother. Can you hear me?] Han Pingping's voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone.
Hearing her voice, a sneer appeared on Luo Xiao's lips.
He had a premonition that he would receive this call, but he didn't expect that the call would come faster than he thought.
Money is a really good thing, it makes people particularly excited.
Luo Xiao's good mood cooled down in an instant after he heard the voice from the other end of the phone.
Before he could reply, the person on the other end started talking again.
[Xiaoxiao? Hello? No sound? Is the signal bad? Hello? Hello...] Han Pingping was confused. She called a few times, but before Luo Xiao could start to speak, the person on the other end of the line hung up. She guessed that there was no sound because there was no signal, so she hung up and prepared to call again.
Sure enough, not long after the call was hung up, a new call came in and the phone started ringing again.
Luo Xiao answered the call when his phone was halfway through ringing.
[Hello?! Xiaoxiao, do you have a signal? There was no sound just now. Can you hear your mother talking, Xiaoxiao? ] Han Pingping said anxiously into the phone.
[I heard it, how did you get my number? ] Luo Xiao asked her.
[I heard it! That's great, there's finally a voice. As for the number, it's really a pity, Xiaoxiao, you're grown up now, you have your own mobile phone, but you didn't even give me your number so that I can call you when I'm free. This will help me to ease my longing for you. Fortunately, your uncle helped me find your high school teacher to get your number, otherwise I wouldn't even know you bought a mobile phone and had a number.] Han Pingping said.
The more Luo Xiao listened, the colder the look in his eyes became.
Every one of them was like this, treating him like a three-year-old child who still longed for his parents' love. They hadn't been in touch for a long time, but when they did, the things they said were disgusting and sarcastic.
Those who don't know the inside story will definitely think that this is a parent who loves his child, but as the one being loved, Luo Xiao only feels disgusted and extremely ironic.
They were indeed a former couple, and they made very good calculations. If it weren't for him being the one being calculated, Luo Xiao would have wanted to applaud and cheer for them.
Unfortunately, he was the one being plotted against.
He gave her a chance, but she didn't cherish it.
Although it was a little late, the call finally came.
[Xiaoxiao, why don't you say anything? Are you crying? Don't be sad, mom is telling you that mom loves you, that's why I didn't contact you.] Before he finished the rest of the sentence, Luo Xiao finally spoke, because he was afraid that if he didn't speak, he would vomit the scallion oil noodles he was eating.
[The reason you didn't contact me is naturally because I'm not useful enough. The reason you didn't contact me before is because you thought I was a burden. The reason you contacted me now is that I think your purpose is to get something from me, don't you think?] Luo Xiao said to the other end of the phone in a cold and sarcastic tone.
Han Pingping was stunned. She was stunned after hearing what Luo Xiao said.
She had guessed many, many outcomes, but the only thing she hadn't expected was Luo Xiao's indifference, the kind that was unspeakably cold, and he blocked her off as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, Han Pingping will not give up.
She deliberately choked and sobbed on the other end of the phone, as if she was crying, but she did this for a long time through the phone, and Luo Xiao remained indifferent.
This made her neither know how to continue nor to stop, and the scene became quiet for a moment.
Perhaps because I saw that Luo Xiao didn't respond to Han Pingping's question, I stopped what I was doing.
At the same time, she felt a little resentful towards Luo Xiao. She felt that Luo Xiao had no filial piety towards her, her biological mother!
Thinking of this, what she was about to say next seemed particularly justified.
