He casually took the phone, without any hesitation, even in front of Mrs. Huo.
"Ziyuan, I really want to thank you for what happened today..."
Ding Huizhu spoke a few words in a gentle voice, but Xie Ziyuan's voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat off.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I wanted to ask if anything unpleasant happened when my master went over today? I tried to call him earlier, but he didn't answer."
Xie Ziyuan was quite worried. This was very abnormal. She was still in class at the time, so she didn't make any more calls. But when she had time after school, she found that she couldn't get through to her master's phone.
Despite her worries, Xie Ziyuan tried to keep her tone calm, afraid that Ding Huizhu might misunderstand.
“My master is such a highly skilled person, and he has always had a rather eccentric temperament. I’m worried…”
"It's okay, Mom understands what you mean." Ding Huizhu pressed her temples. "Some unpleasant things did happen today..."
Seeing that Madam Huo was looking at her with a questioning gaze, Ding Huizhu felt her face burning.
But now that the matter had come to this, she couldn't remain silent. Her lips twitched slightly, and she continued speaking.
“Today I took Xie Li to apologize. When she saw your master, she immediately called him ‘old man,’ which was extremely disrespectful in tone and attitude.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Huo lowered her head to drink her tea, pretending not to have heard anything.
She really didn't want to hear about that person.
Look at the mess they've made! They've caused trouble and are still not behaving themselves. They've even offended the miracle doctor Xie Ziyuan hired. If this continues, who knows how much more trouble they'll cause.
On the other end of the phone, Xie Ziyuan was also stunned, seemingly not expecting this turn of events.
"Mom, this..." She really didn't know what to say.
Ding Huizhu also felt annoyed: "In the end, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline her properly, and she didn't know her place and offended someone important..."
Thinking about Xie Li's behavior in the hospital, Ding Huizhu felt extremely regretful. She regretted being too soft-hearted towards Xie Li today and should have tied him up immediately.
She simply couldn't understand why her own son was so useless.
Ding Huizhu was heartbroken and disappointed, and could hardly help but wonder if this was God's revenge on her smooth-sailing life.
"Mom, please don't be too angry." Xie Ziyuan had been her daughter for many years and they always understood each other.
"It's nothing. Although my master has a bad temper, he loves me very much. I'll apologize to him properly after he calms down in a couple of days."
She spoke so casually, but Ding Huizhu understood perfectly well that it wasn't that simple.
"Ziyuan, from now on, don't interfere in Xie Li's affairs anymore." She thought for a moment and said seriously, "You have never wronged her, and you have already done enough for her."
"I can't let your future be affected by her."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Huizhu's eyes gradually cleared.
Yes, she couldn't let Xie Li ruin Xie Ziyuan's happy life no matter what.
After eavesdropping for a while, Madam Huo showed no discomfort and continued to drink tea and talk with Ding Huizhu as usual.
Just before leaving, he seemed to mention something thoughtfully: "Do you know who I ran into the other day? That one from the Li family, he's changed a lot. He's become so obedient and docile. Mrs. Li is so comfortable with him."
Ding Huizhu was taken aback, not understanding why she suddenly brought up this person.
The fiancée of the Li family was a notorious laughingstock among the wealthy families of Linjiang City. She came from the countryside, was uncouth and unruly, and often made Mrs. Li so angry that she vomited blood.
