He returned to the sofa, picked up the phone next to him and called the driver Liu Jiang, asking him to come and pick them up. He also called Qing Ke at the same time.
The call was connected, and it was Qingke's mother Bai Meng who answered the phone.
"Hello! Who are you?"
Wencai immediately recognized Bai Meng's voice and hurriedly called for help politely.
"Aunt, it's me, Wencai, I have something to talk to Keke about."
"Oh! Xiao Li! You haven't come to our house for dinner for a long time. When will you have time to come?"
Bai Meng was very satisfied with this future son-in-law. She had been clamoring for Qingke and Wencai's marriage to be arranged, but Qingke's father kept saying he needed to investigate further and refused to agree.
"Auntie, I'm busy lately. I'll definitely go when I have time. Please also help me call Qing Ke."
"OK!"
Bai Meng didn't cover the phone head. She turned around and shouted Qing Ke's name upstairs. Wencai on the other end of the phone could also hear Bai Meng's voice clearly.
At this time, Qing Ke was still lying on her big bed, sleeping with her head covered.
Hearing Bai Menghe's lion-like roar downstairs, Qing Ke impatiently got up from the bed, wearing a beautiful lace nightgown, and staggered downstairs.
"Mom, who is it? It's so early in the morning, do you still want to sleep?"
"You! Look, it's already eight o'clock, still early in the morning, and the sun is already shining on your butt. What? You still don't want to answer? Then I'll ask Wencai to wait until you wake up and call you back!"
As Bai Meng spoke, he made a gesture as if to hang up the phone.
When Qing Ke heard it was Wencai, he quickened his pace down the stairs and tried his best to dissuade Bai Meng from hanging up the phone. He ran to Bai Meng's side impatiently, snatched the phone from Bai Meng's hand, and waved Bai Meng away.
"Wencai, it's still early! Didn't we agree to meet again at noon? Did you miss me?"
"Keke! I have something urgent to do at the company today, so I won't go to the movies with you. Let Danny go with you!"
"Wencai, today is Sunday. Isn't everyone in the company on holiday? What else could be going on?"
"I told you it's temporary. I'll make it up to you next week. Besides, didn't we just meet yesterday?"
"Wencai, I'll miss you like crazy if I don't see you for a day. I'll go to the company to accompany you! Okay?"
Perhaps it was because Wencai was so indifferent and distant! The two of them had long passed the honeymoon phase, but Qingke still wanted to be with Wencai every day.
"No, really. How about this, I'll call you when I'm done. Bye!"
Wencai didn't want to waste any more time with Qingke, so he hung up the phone.
“Hey, hey, hey…”
No matter how Qing Ke shouted, all she heard from the other end of the phone was a "beep, beep, beep" sound.
Qingke pressed the redial button several times, but Wencai didn't answer the call. In a fit of anger, he simply unplugged the phone line.
It’s not that Wencai is unwilling to take Qingke to meet his family, but he is afraid that his family will transfer all their anger towards him to Qingke. He is thinking about Qingke!
If Shumei could really resolve the grievances between him and his family, he would bring Qingke to see Li Yushu as soon as possible, and arrange the marriage with Qingke immediately, so as to have children for the Li family as soon as possible and live up to the old aunt's expectations.
Qing Ke, who was full of anticipation and a big smile just now, suddenly became like a puffed-up frog.
She angrily slammed the phone on the table, grabbed the sofa cushions and threw them away. She stormed back upstairs to her room, found her movie tickets, tore them to pieces, and threw all the teddy bears on her bed to the floor.
She lay down heavily on the bed, crawled into the quilt, and began to complain non-stop.
"You idiot, you stinky, rotten talent, what do you want from me? I've been so devoted to you, working day and night for you, giving you my whole heart, yet you're always so hot and cold towards me. The people who want to pursue me can be lined up from the east to the west of the city, and you, this ungrateful fellow, actually hung up on me and stood me up. And you even refused to let me go to our future little home, ah..."
Qing Ke suddenly stopped complaining, pulled the quilt off her head, and sat up suddenly in bed.
"No, I have to go see what Li Wencai is up to. Yes, but... should I go to his house first? Or his company first?"
Qing Ke stretched out his left hand, turning the palm and back of his hand back and forth, hesitant and unable to make up his mind.
After Wencai and Shumei had breakfast, they packed up and walked out of the residential building.
"What are all these things in your bags?"
Shumei followed behind, carrying the things she had prepared for Uncle Li long ago.
