Chapter 150: Clingy
"Drink first."
After leaving this sentence, Yin Dong left his seat with his phone and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.
The phone was connected, and a familiar and distant female voice came from it.
"Hey, I'm here. I sent you a message, but I was afraid you didn't see it, so I called to let you know."
Yin Dong: "Just arrived?"
When Jiang Yuan heard him ask this, she knew that he hadn't even looked at his phone. She thought he would be waiting for her message.
"Yeah," Jiang Yuan said, holding her phone and glancing at her mother's busy back through the kitchen glass door. "I just wanted to let you know I'm safe. I'm afraid you'd worry. Nothing else. I'll hang up first."
Yin Dong: "What are you doing sneaking around? Is there someone with you?"
Jiang Yuan lowered his voice only a little bit; his ears were too sensitive.
She simply lowered her voice and said, "My mother is here, it's not convenient. I don't have anything to do these days, so I won't contact you for now."
"What's inconvenient?"
He asked knowingly. Jiang Yuan sighed and patiently explained, "My mother doesn't know you. I can't explain our relationship to her right away. I'm afraid she'll object."
She didn't want to continue arguing with him about this. When she heard the noisy background noise on the phone, she changed the subject and asked, "Are you eating out? I won't disturb you then."
Her intention to end the call quickly was too obvious. He shifted his posture and said slowly, "She'll know sooner or later."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. She replied briefly, "I'll find a chance to tell her in person later. Now is not the right time."
"Um"
He didn't say anything else, so Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to say, "I'll hang up first. You have a bad stomach, so drink less. Bye."
Before he could say anything, the call ended abruptly.
Yin Dong turned off the screen of his mobile phone, and someone at the table immediately called him over.
"It's different during the honeymoon period. I didn't realize my sister-in-law is so clingy."
Someone laughed and joked.
Yin Dong glanced at the man indifferently and said nothing.
Jiang Yuan had just put down her phone when her mother, Yang Xue, came over with a bowl of steaming wonton stew. "Eat quickly! You must have been starving on the way."
Jiang Yuan: "Not bad, I had a late lunch today."
Yang Xue: "Why aren't you eating on time again? You're still working overtime when it's almost vacation time? Your boss is kind, but he's too harsh on his employees in this regard."
The scenes of her and Yin Dong in the kitchen at noon suddenly flooded into Jiang Yuan's mind. She quickly lowered her head, picked up the spoon and didn't respond.
The phone dinged, and a new message popped up on the screen. It was from Song Cun, a classmate I hadn't contacted for a long time.
The message was short, just one sentence, so she read it all at once. "Is that you the one trending on the train station today? Are you in a relationship?"
Jiang Yuan quickly picked up the phone and clicked on the link to the hot search sent by Song Cun.
As soon as Jiang Yuan saw the cover of the video, he was shocked as if struck by lightning. He clicked play. As the faces on the screen became clearer and clearer, Jiang Yuan's face became paler and paler.
There were tens of thousands of comments below the video, and it had been played nearly a million times. Jiang Yuan suddenly understood what Yin Dong meant by that sentence on the phone. He had known about the hot search a long time ago.
The picture was so clear that it was terrifying. Not only her mother, but even people who had only met her a few times could recognize her.
The string in her heart suddenly tightened, and she felt as if her whole body was tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
She had only worked with Xu Hui for a month, but she couldn't remember how many men she had acquaintances with at the dinner parties, clubs, and golf courses she had frequented.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan had the illusion that his blood was flowing back.
She quickly scrolled through the screen, reading the various comments below.
After swiping for a while, she suddenly stopped and dialed Yin Dong's cell phone number.
As expected, the cell phone rang again. Amidst the teasing of everyone, Yin Dong picked up the phone again and left the box.
