Chapter 34 Comrade Xia Qianyi

One soup: Yam and Hibiscus Soup.

Zeng Mishan and Xia Qianyi are both high-income earners. They are busy with their careers, so their family hired a nanny to take care of their two sons.

Glancing at her own son, Xia Qianyi complained, "Your father hasn't called home once in the past few days since he went abroad."

Zeng Qi curled his lips and spoke up for his mother: "Old Zeng is too unreasonable. I'll call him after dinner."

Tapping her watch, Xia Qianyi's eyes widened, and she said with a hint of anger, "I have to go to the company for an emergency meeting at 1:00. Call him now!"

Faced with his mother's request, Zeng Qi had no choice but to take out his phone and press the voice assistant:

"Xiaoyi? Xiaoyi?"

"I am here!"

"Call Father."

Beep, beep... the phone prompts that it is trying to connect.

Because of the time difference, it was already late at night in the United Empire.

Beep, beep, beep...

The line says no one answered, please try again later.

Facing his mother's burning gaze, the boy with glasses picked up the bracelet he had put down and dialed the phone again.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was still no response.

"Godmother, the time difference abroad is different. Maybe godfather fell asleep?" Chu Hai put down the chopsticks in his hand and comforted her.

Frowning, Xia Qianyi said nervously, "I called him three times last night, but there was no response."

Reaching out to adjust his glasses, Zeng Qi looked at his mother. Old Zeng was most afraid of his wife, so it was impossible for him not to answer the phone.

Even though he was a big shot in college, he was still a coward back home. He was often blamed for answering the phone too late.

Leaning back, Zeng Qi suddenly had an idea and said, "Mom, didn't you call Elvis?"

When Comrade Xia Qianyi heard the name Elvis, his eyebrows raised and he looked disgusted.

A flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and she said unhappily, "Elvis didn't answer the phone at first. After I changed my number and called him, he said sorry and hung up."

"Mom, Elvis often immerses himself in the laboratory with Dad, maybe... Hey, Mom, what did you say?" Zeng Qi suspected that he had heard it wrong.

What does that mean? Just say sorry and that's it?
