Chapter 522: The Tournament Journey Begins (Part 1)
Li Cheng still didn't tell Ye Dongming that Ye Xinxin had gone to work at the newspaper.
After all, they are going directly to Beijing tomorrow, so even if Ye Xinxin really came here for him, there will be absolutely no contact between them during these days.
Moreover, Ye Dongming had just clearly stated on the phone that he had important matters to deal with.
Li Cheng glanced outside again. Ye Xinxin was busy sitting at her seat...
At noon, Ye Xinxin declined her colleague's invitation to have lunch together.
She thought of the phone call she received last night. Although she knew the chances of Liu Zhen being in trouble were very low, she still felt that she should show some concern.
At least make sure she is sober. Her father must not hear those nonsense words.
After dialing the number, she was surprised to find that her home phone was no longer accessible.
Then she dialed Ye Dongming's cell phone number.
This time, the call was picked up quickly.
"Xinxin, is there something wrong?"
Ye Dongming's voice came over, without any abnormality.
"Nothing, I just suddenly missed you and my mom. I just called home, but the call didn't go through. Are you home now? What is my mom doing?"
Ye Xinxin asked in a relaxed voice and did not mention a word about the phone call in the middle of the night.
"The telephone line at home is broken. It's just dawn here now. I'll contact someone to come and repair it later. Mom drank too much yesterday. She should still be asleep now. Do you need me to wake her up?"
Ye Dongming explained calmly.
Ye Xinxin was completely relieved, it was exactly as she thought.
The noise late at night prevented her from getting a good rest, but she slept soundly instead.
"No, I didn't consider the time there. You should persuade my mother to drink less alcohol, and you should all take care of your health."
"Yes. I will be back in two days. I don't know when the home phone line will be normal. If you have anything, please contact me directly."
Ye Dongming gave a deliberate reminder.
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinxin smiled brightly.
There was a problem with the phone line. No wonder the call was disconnected halfway through at night. She would never take the initiative to contact her. Now she can finally sleep well from now on.
…
"Yaoyao, you must be careful when you get there. Big cities have many rules, unlike here. You should keep a low profile if possible."
Early in the morning, Zhang Qiufeng and Zhang Qiuhua sent Ye Yao to the gate of the compound, and gave him worried instructions.
After all, it was her first time to go so far away.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll call you anytime. Home..."
"Just leave the house to me, no problem!"
Before Ye Yao could finish his words, Zhang Qiuhua patted his chest and made a promise.
She nodded, her eyes passing over them and looking into the compound.
It was empty and there was no one in sight.
"Yaoyao, have a safe trip."
Zhang Qiufeng tried hard to hold back her tears, feeling extremely reluctant and unable to let go.
Soon Ye Yao's back disappeared from her sight.
"Don't worry, sis. Children will eventually leave us when they grow up. This is a good thing."
Zhang Qiuhua kept comforting her.
As they were talking, they were getting ready to go back. After taking a few steps, they saw Li Cheng carrying his luggage and walking out of an alley not far away.
They both froze for a moment. He was also on a business trip today? This was too much of a coincidence?
