Chapter 293 Escape
Xu Youyou suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "I remember."
Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Mommy, where is Daddy? Isn't he with us?"
"Dad has to work here, so of course he can't be with us. When we are free, you can come back to see Dad, okay?"
Hearing that her father would not be with them, Xu Youyou's face showed visibly disappointment: "Mommy, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were leaving? I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my father and Ye Zihan."
"I'm sorry, Mommy didn't think this matter through carefully enough." Xu Qingsui also felt very guilty towards her son. If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to do this.
"It's okay, Mommy. I have a phone watch on my hand. When I get there, I can call them anytime." Seeing Xu Qingsui sad, Xu Youyou said sensibly.
Looking at such a sensible son, Xu Qingsui felt very guilty. He held the little guy in his arms without saying a word.
Time passed minute by minute. After Huo Xilin finished his official business, he raised his hand to check the time. It was already past one o'clock.
The mother and son still haven't come back, so they must be staying there tonight.
He just had a bad feeling in his heart, which made him uneasy. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xu Qingsui, but it fell on deaf ears.
After taking a shower, Huo Xilin lay on the bed, tossing and turning. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he simply called Xu Qingsui.
It didn't matter. A mechanical female voice came from the other end of the conversation: Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off the phone. Please call again later...
Why is Xu Qingsui's phone turned off at this time?
He called twice, but the phone was turned off both times. Helplessly, he could only call his son, but he didn't expect that the phone was also turned off.
What kind of situation could cause both mother and son to turn off their phones at the same time?
He immediately got up from the bed and called his brother-in-law.
Fortunately, the call was answered this time, and Xu Di's dazed voice came from the other end: "Hello, brother-in-law, why are you calling so late?"
Huo Xilin was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Are Qingsui and Youyou okay over there? Why are their phones turned off?"
After hearing Huo Xilin's question, Xu Di stood up suddenly as if struck by lightning. All the sleepiness was scared away. He asked in shock: "Brother-in-law, what did you just say? Didn't my sister and nephew go back?"
Lin Wan, who was sleeping nearby, was awakened. When she heard Xu Di's question, she knew it was Huo Xilin who answered the phone. She immediately snatched the phone and said to Huo Xilin, "It must be my brother-in-law. Qingsui and my nephew are sleeping at my house. Don't worry."
After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone.
Xu Di was confused and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you send my sister and Youyou back home? There was no one else at home. Why did you lie to my brother-in-law?"
According to my brother-in-law, the two of them didn't go home at all. Where would they go so late at night?
As soon as Xu Di thought about it, he became anxious and asked Lin Wan a series of questions: "Where are my sister and Youyou? What are you hiding from me?"
Lin Wan didn't expect Huo Xilin to call so late. She expected a storm, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
She sighed helplessly. She knew that she couldn't hide the lie from Brother Xu. He would know about this sooner or later. So she could only tell the truth: "Qingsui and Youyou are on the plane right now."
"What?" Xu Di was shocked. "Where are they going? Tomorrow is Monday, and Youyou won't study?"
"Qingsui has to go to the north to work. She has been delayed for a long time. The people there are in a hurry. She couldn't bear to leave the little guy, so she took him with her. Youyou will study there in the future."
Hearing that the two were fine, Xu Di immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He asked, "She took the child to study in the north. Why didn't my brother-in-law know? He didn't tell me. She left secretly tonight. Why did he only tell you? Are you hiding something from me? Did my sister and brother-in-law have a fight?"
Brother Xu's series of questions overwhelmed Lin Wan, and she really didn't know how to explain it to him.
Soon Huo Xilin called again. Lin Wan saw that it was him and hung up.
As Brother Xu watched her actions, he gradually realized that this matter must be related to his brother-in-law.
"Hurry up and tell me what happened, otherwise I will go ask my sister myself!" He suddenly became anxious and began to interrogate Lin Wan.
"They were arguing, but I don't know what they were arguing about." Lin Wan didn't dare to tell Xu Di the truth, so she could only play Tai Chi: "Okay, let's not get involved in the affairs between the couple."
"What kind of thing could make my sister ignore the fact that the child is still in school and be willing to transfer him to another school just to take him away?" Lin Wan's consolation did not work. Xu Di was not a fool. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was not simple.
"Are they going to get divorced?"
When this question came out, Lin Wan was shocked instantly.
Because he really guessed it right, the two of them were going to get divorced.
Facing Xu Di's sharp eyes, Lin Wan could only shake his head guiltily and pretend to be clueless and said, "I know nothing."
"No, I have to call my sister and ask her what happened." After saying that, Xu Di snatched the phone from Lin Wan's hand.
Lin Wan quickly stopped him: "Even if you want to call, you have to call tomorrow. They are on the plane now and their phones are turned off. It's useless to call them. It will be very late when they arrive. Let them have a good rest first."
After listening to Lin Wan's words, Xu Di thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Looking down and seeing Huo Xilin's contact information, his eyes lit up instantly: "Yes, I'll ask my brother-in-law."
Before Lin Wan could react, the call had already been made.
It was too late for Lin Wan to stop him, because the person on the other end picked up the call immediately, and was obviously more anxious than Xu Di.
"Where is your sister?" The moment the phone was connected, Huo Xilin's anxious voice was heard.
Brother Xu did not answer his question immediately, but asked: "Brother-in-law, did you and my sister have a fight?"
"No." Huo Xilin denied it directly.
"Why would my sister leave without a quarrel and take the child away?" Brother Xu didn't believe it and pressed him, "Did you bully my sister? Why did they leave?"
When Huo Xilin heard that Xu Qingsui had run away with the child, his mind went blank at that moment.
His body swayed, and he seemed to have been drained of his soul. He was in a state of emptiness. For a moment, he didn't know where he was or what to do.
There was no response for a long time, and Xu Di even suspected that the other party had hung up the phone.
