"Keke, you're not answering your home phone. Your parents called me. Should I answer?"
"Of course I will. I'm just having trouble finding an excuse for not coming home last night! It's perfect. You can be a witness for me and say I was at your house. That way they won't get suspicious and start asking questions when they get back."
Qing Ke felt that this call came at the perfect time, it was like divine help.
Dani pressed the answer button, "Hello!"
"Dani, is that Dani? I'm Coco's mother."
"Oh! Auntie! What do you want from me?"
"Is my Coco with you?"
"Yes! Coco drank a little last night and was not fit to drive, so I let her sleep at my house."
"Oh! That's good, that's good. Then why didn't she answer any of the calls we made to her? We almost called the police."
"Oh—well, she left her phone in the car last night, and she hasn't come downstairs to get it yet!"
"I see. I'm glad you're okay. Is she here? I wanted to ask when she'll be back. Please ask her to answer the phone."
Danni lip-syncs to Qingke, telling her that her mother wants to talk to her.
Qing Ke was in a very confused mood and had no mood to listen to Bai Meng's nagging. She kept waving her hands at Danny, signaling her not to give her the phone.
"Oh—Auntie, Qingke is in the bathroom! Let me ask her when she'll be back!"
“Okay, okay!”
Qingke held the phone away and deliberately shouted Qingke's name at the top of her voice, asking her when she would be back. Qingke responded in a low voice.
Their unusual behavior caused people around them to look at them strangely.
Danni followed Qingke's instructions and passed the message to Bai Meng, "Aunt, Keke said she will be back soon."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Danny. Come to my house and play when you have time."
"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time."
"Then Auntie will hang up first. Remember to tell Keke to come back early."
"Okay, goodbye, auntie!"
Danny spoke to Bai Meng reluctantly, and when she heard the beeping sound from the other end of the phone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Being a thief is not an easy job. Dany was afraid that she would accidentally let the cat out of the bag and betray Qing Ke.
In the next few days, Wu Meng didn't look for Qing Ke, not even a phone call.
At this time, Wu Meng was busy entertaining everyone at the Chaole Bar and having so much fun that he had no time to pay attention to Qing Ke.
The Chaole Bar had recently attracted a number of new beauties. They had all heard that Wu Meng was treating everyone at the bar for seven days straight, offering free food and drinks to anyone who went. With such a good deal, everyone naturally flocked to it.
Wu Meng won a great victory in this bet. Not only did he win the beauty, but he also earned the reputation of being a spendthrift and a lavish spender.
His brothers have been like eggplants hit by frost these days. They don't even have the mood to hug people. They have to watch these people burn their own money, and their hearts are bleeding.
One day, two days, three days...
Five days passed quickly, and Qing Ke still hadn't received any news from Wu Meng.
She originally thought that being with someone like Wencai, who didn't understand romance, would allow her to be proactive. Being with a romantic like Wu Meng, she would be passive and could only love passionately.
But she never expected that her imagination was so rich, while the reality was so skinny.
These days, she didn't go to the company and stayed at home every day waiting for Wu Meng's call.
She felt like she was going crazy. Waiting was really scary, making her feel endless loneliness and fear.
Many times she would even have wild thoughts, wondering if Wu Meng was just playing with her and didn't take her seriously at all; or if Wu Meng was just very busy and didn't have time to call her; or perhaps the old saying was true: once you get something, it's no longer precious and can be used as a spare tire at any time.
She wandered around her room every day, waiting for a phone call.
That day, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, she picked up the phone and called Wu Meng.
The call was connected. Qing Ke tried to put the microphone to her ear. She really wanted to speak, but then she heard harsh music coming from the microphone.
"Wu Meng, is that you?"
"Oh? Who are you? Haven't you eaten? You're talking like a cat, louder." Because the bar was too noisy and Qingke's voice was a little soft, Wu Meng couldn't hear what Qingke was saying at all. He shouted into the phone at the top of his voice.
The roar made Qingke's ears hurt. She subconsciously took the microphone away from her ear and hung up the phone heavily.
