A "click" came from the microphone, followed by a busy tone.
Clearly, the call was disconnected.
Yanbo's father was clearly furious. However, he wasn't sure if his father would let the Tong family off the hook after he used his last trump card.
After taking a shower, Tong Xiaohuai nestled in bed and habitually dialed Yan Bo's number. Even though Yan Bo was in the room at the end of the corridor, Tong Xiaohuai still felt it was better to say some things over the phone.
"Yanbo, since my dad said this matter can be resolved, he must be confident. Don't overthink it."
Tong Xiaohuai was afraid that Yan Bo was still feeling guilty, and also afraid that he would get stuck on his own thoughts after calming down.
Although, in her impression, Yan Bo had always been a calm, self-controlled, very rational and steady person.
But on the way back, Yan Bo seemed to have lost his support, and his rationality was on the verge of collapse.
In another room, Yan Bo, who had just been hung up on by Yan Zhong, was nestled on the sofa, deep in thought.
"Yes, I know."
"Go to sleep early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Tong Xiaohuai didn't say much, because she knew that saying more would be useless. Both she and Yan Bo needed time to process today's events.
"Okay, you should go to sleep early too. Goodnight!"
Yanbo was unusually decisive, without any stickiness whatsoever.
Tong Xiaohuai placed her phone on the bedside table, leaned against the headboard, and silently recalled Yan Bo's words and expressions when he lost his composure.
Tong Xiaohuai knew that he was still very inexperienced, and in front of a big shot like Yan Zhong, he was as insignificant and trivial as an ant standing in front of an elephant.
But she still didn't expect Yan Zhong to use such methods against her family.
It is clear that they are very resistant to themselves and their family background.
Even so, she had no intention of breaking up with Yanbo.
As long as Yan Bo doesn't let go, she'll grit her teeth and brave any danger with him.
The next morning, everyone got up very early.
Unaware of what was going on, Tong's mother sat at the dining table, glancing at Yan Bo and then at Tong Xiaohuai, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Did you two have a fight?"
Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai exchanged a glance, their dark circles clearly visible in each other's eyes.
"Mom, I saw a set of jewelry I liked last night, but he said it wasn't nice!"
Tong Xiaohua pouted, looking extremely angry.
Yan Bo looked at her deeply, leaned over and patted her head, speaking in a doting tone.
"Okay, I'm sorry! It was my fault. I'll buy it back in a bit, don't be angry, okay?"
Tong's mother watched the two young people's interaction with a smile, and finally, she gently scolded Tong Xiaohuai.
"Girl, don't be so willful. Xiao Yan dotes on you in every way. What else could you possibly be unhappy about?"
"Mom, you always side with him. I'm your daughter!"
Tong Xiaohuai grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Perfect acting."
Tong Laoda glanced at Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai with displeasure, "Alright, alright, you two little brats, stop showing off your love in front of us so early in the morning, it's an eyesore!"
After saying that, she turned to Tong's mother and said, "Weiyao, didn't you make an appointment with them to look at wedding dresses and suits? I'll have the driver take you there later. I have an appointment to play golf at noon, so I won't be home for lunch."
Tong's mother had no suspicions. "Well, I'll go with them. I knew you weren't interested in these things."
Old Master Tong said, "It's not that I'm not interested, it mainly depends on who it is. If it's Xiao Huai or Xiao Yan, I'm very interested!"
All three actors were very good at acting. As usual, Tong's mother chatted with them while eating breakfast. After finishing, she left with the driver.
After seeing that his mother had left, Tong Laoda called the two young men into the study.
"Xiao Yan, you go back to Yanhuang to take care of things first. I'll handle this matter myself. Xiao Huai, you can stay home and wait for news. If you're worried about being bored, you can come back to Yanhuang with Xiao Yan."
Tong Xiaohuai opened her mouth to object, but Yan Bo tugged at her and then nodded to Tong Laoda.
"Then Xiaohuai and I will go back to Yanhuang. Uncle Tong will let us know if anything happens. I'll go to see An Zijun at noon, and we'll call you then."
After agreeing on their respective destinations, Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo returned to Yanhuang together.
The others were unaware of the major event that had occurred in the Tong family. When they saw Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo emerge from the elevator together, they greeted them with smiles.
"Good morning, boss and boss's wife!"
Although Tong Xiaohuai was in a bad mood, she still blushed when she heard the title "boss lady".
Di Xu, who usually loves to tease people, surprisingly didn't take the opportunity to ridicule Tong Xiaohuai today. Instead, he followed Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai into the office with a serious expression.
"Boss, here are the documents you requested."
Di Xu placed the documents in front of Yan Bo, but showed no intention of leaving.
Yan Bo glanced at him, then at Tong Xiaohuai in the reception room, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke to Di Xu.
"Uncle Tong said he had a solution and told us not to get involved for the time being."
Di Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I was so worried!"
Di Xu was unaware of the specifics of the situation. He had been worried ever since he parted ways with Yan Bo last night.
"It's alright, we'll proceed as usual. Get the information on that piece of land ready for me as soon as possible."
Yanbo was very cautious, fearing that his father might do something about the land after last night's phone call, so he had to guard against any possible loopholes.
After Di Xu left, Tong Xiaohuai brewed a pot of tea, poured him a cup, and then sat down on the table next to him, tilting her bottom to one side.
"Boss Yan, is there anything I can help you with?"
Tong Xiaohuai was known as the boss's wife, but in fact, she never cared about Yanhuang's affairs.
Now, in order to stop herself from overthinking, she urgently needs to find something to distract herself.
Yan Bo flipped through the documents on the table, and finally handed one to her.
"Take a look at this document. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."
The Tong family had no involvement in real estate or infrastructure, so Tong Xiaohuai couldn't understand the document at all.
However, instead of asking Yan Bo as he had suggested, she took the documents and went to Yan Bo's bookshelf, pulled out two basic books on the subject, and then dragged a chair over to sit next to him.
I flipped through the book as I read, slowly looking at the documents.
She wasn't really sure if Yan Bo genuinely wanted her to learn something from this opportunity, or if he simply wanted to keep her from overthinking.
Anyway, since he gave her these things, she would try her best to understand them.
Yan Bo finished processing a document at hand, turned around and saw her focused expression, and couldn't help but smile.
"Wow, that's quite impressive."
Tong Xiaohuai rolled her eyes at him, then said smugly, "Of course, I'm the boss's wife. If I couldn't even understand the most basic documents, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?"
