October 22nd was the day Ye Mushen passed away in the hospital.
The doctor walked out of the emergency room with a regretful expression, saying sorry that they had done their best. Li Xueqing then fainted. When she woke up, she was screaming and lost control of her mind, becoming completely insane.
When Li Xueqing was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Ye Li and Aunt Lan had already discussed that if Li Xueqing became suspicious and asked about her father's business trip abroad, they would say it was that day.
But at this moment, seeing the hint of something amiss in Li Xueqing's calm face, Aunt Lan panicked. "Madam, what's wrong? Are you missing the master? Why don't you give him a call?"
"Okay, give him a call."
Li Xueqing nodded, picked up her phone, and made a video call via WeChat.
The same long notification tone as always.
After hanging up the video call, Li Xueqing held her phone in her hand.
1……2……
Ring ring.
On the phone screen, "Brother Shen" dialed the number.
Aunt Lan smiled and considerately closed the door and left.
Li Xueqing lowered her eyes and answered the phone, "Brother Shen, why do you never answer my video calls? I haven't seen you in so long, let me see you, okay?"
"Xue'er..."
The voice on the other end was gentle, "When you see me, you'll be so worried you won't be able to sleep for days. Abroad, it's all Western food. I finally found a Chinese restaurant, but the food was a mess, not authentic at all. Since I came here, Xiao Li and the others have said I look so much thinner..."
"Actually, not eating well is only one aspect. The main thing is that I miss you and Ali... Xue'er, when I get back, you and Sister Lan can cook me lots of good food. I'll eat more and recover quickly, okay?"
"good."
Li Xueqing nodded, her eyes reddening as if she felt sorry for her thinner husband.
"Oh right, Xue'er..."
The gentle voice paused for a moment in annoyance, "I remember the PIN for that bank card, it's a combination of our family's birthdays... My memory is getting worse and worse every day, I just said I'd send it to you, but I got distracted and forgot..."
"Then you should go and get busy!"
"Okay! Then read a book for a while and go to bed early... Also, don't practice the piano for so long in the future, it will hurt your hands and your eyes..."
"Okay! Eat on time, drink plenty of water, and try not to stay up too late!"
"Wife, yes sir!"
After hanging up the phone, the bedroom became quiet.
Holding her phone, Li Xueqing looked at the closed door with tears welling up in her eyes.
I got up and walked out of the bedroom. In the kitchen, Aunt Lan was preparing the ingredients she would need to make soy milk for breakfast tomorrow.
"Red beans, black beans... and a few red dates..."
The door to the bedroom on the second floor was open, but the light was off; Ali hadn't returned yet.
Turning back, everything in the living room was as before.
The only one missing is Brother Shen.
Yes, Brother Shen is away on a business trip. They just finished their phone call.
But why did he go on a business trip on the 22nd?
A week from now, on the 28th, will be Ali's birthday.
Brother Shen, who is the most important person in the world, would refuse without hesitation even if someone presented him with an investment contract and asked him to sign it on the 28th, let alone something as simple as expanding the company's overseas projects that requires him to be stationed overseas.
In Brother Shen's eyes, she ranks first, and Ali second.
He once said that his wife, children, and warm bed were the most important people and things in his heart, and nothing in the world was more important than his wife and daughter.
Therefore, it's impossible for Brother Shen to be on a business trip before Ali's birthday.
Turning her head to look at the study next to the master bedroom, Li Xueqing's hand holding the phone was trembling.
"mom……"
The villa door opened, and Ali's voice rang out. Li Xueqing gripped her phone tightly, turned around with a gentle smile, and said, "Ali's back..."
