Chapter 608 I Just Want to Hear Her Words
Ji Chuan finished a whole cigarette and when he started the car, his eyes fell on his cell phone.
He picked it up, rubbed it twice, and finally dialed the number.
After a few beeps, a familiar female voice came in, "Hey, how's Auntie?"
He leaned his head back in his chair. "She's fine."
Xu Hui still felt uneasy. She asked again, "Is it because of me? Did my attitude this afternoon irritate her?"
"It's none of your business. It's a family matter."
"oh."
"Are you asleep?"
Xu Hui had already lain down on the bed. Afraid that his voice would be lowered by lying down, he deliberately raised the volume a little, but he didn't expect that he could still hear it.
She had no choice but to sit up, lean on the pillow, clutching the phone and replied: "No."
He asked, "What are you doing?"
Her ears felt hot, and her free hand tugged at a corner of the quilt, "Nothing."
"What's that doing?"
He was asking questions, and she choked up, "I didn't do anything serious."
"Um?"
Xu Hui's voice was panicked. "I mean, I didn't study overtime, and I didn't do anything useful, so I just cleaned up."
After saying that, he hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Where are you?"
"In the car."
"Are you driving?"
"No."
At this point, Xu Hui vaguely heard that something was wrong with him, not from his voice or tone, but from his entire state, which seemed indescribably loose.
Xu Hui: "Have you been drinking?"
"without."
She was silent for two seconds, and finally asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened at home?"
She didn't expect him to tell her in detail. After all, he was a very proud person and he would not tell anyone about anything that happened at home. Even if he told her, she wouldn't be able to help.
However, unexpectedly, his voice came over, "Today is the tenth birthday of my father's youngest son."
She went over this sentence carefully in her mind, paused briefly, and asked tentatively: "Is this the child he had with another woman?"
"Um."
Xu Hui felt a tightness in his stomach and asked again, "Auntie's depression is caused by that woman, right?"
"Um."
She didn't know if it was because of his deep voice, but she felt particularly suffocated in her heart. She suddenly understood his mother's deep hatred for the identity of a mistress.
The mistress's son is already ten years old. One can imagine the torment his mother has endured over the years. Not only his mother, but he also feels aggrieved in his heart. He was originally the father of only one person, but was snatched away by a child who suddenly appeared. This is actually a betrayal of the father to his son.
Xu Hui asked softly: "Are you okay?"
Ji Chuan was sitting in the car, and only at this moment did he realize that he was just waiting for her to say this.
"I'm fine."
He started the car.
Xu Hui heard the sound of an engine coming from the phone and simply replied, "That's good."
There was a brief silence on the phone. After a while, she heard him say, "Come out with me tomorrow at noon. It's my mentor's 60th birthday. Please accompany me for a simple meal."
Xu Hui agreed immediately, "Okay, what do I need to prepare?"
"Nothing."
He said it very straightforwardly, but Xu Hui still had many doubts in his heart, but he was in a bad mood at the moment and she didn't want to disturb him.
"Okay, I'm hanging up then."
"Um."
Xu Hui hung up the phone, but couldn't fall asleep. She replayed the conversation between the two of them over and over in her mind several times, and her heart ached for no reason.
