Not long after hanging up the phone, Yu Bai's phone dinged and received a new message.
This is the location sent by Yu Cheng, which is in the nearby suburbs.
He has asked someone to drive the car over.
It’s really efficient.
Yu Bai clicked on the location, and the car navigation system immediately planned a route.
Starting the engine, the van merged smoothly into the traffic flow.
However, as the car drove onto the overpass leading to the suburbs, the cell phone suddenly rang.
The name that made her eyes dirty at the first sight was jumping on the screen - Zhao Jia.
The ringing of the bell echoed in the relatively closed carriage, sounding particularly noisy.
Yu Bai's fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of impatience.
She took a deep breath and slowly put on her Bluetooth headset.
A slender finger swipes across the screen, connecting the call and starting a carefully choreographed drama.
"Yu Bai! Where the hell have you been? You haven't answered the phone in ages!!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Jia's familiar roar, filled with extreme impatience and self-righteousness, bombarded Yu Bai's eardrums, making them buzz.
Yu Sheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately had a cold and sharp look in his eyes.
Yu Bai hurriedly shook his head, signaling his brother not to speak for the time being.
"Not in time." Yu Bai replied in a low voice.
Zhao Jia didn't listen at all, nor did he care. He just kept asking, "Why aren't you in the rental house?!"
oh?
It seems that Zhao Jia is back.
Yu Bai raised his eyebrows in understanding.
He acted quite quickly and ran back to their old small rental house to find her right away?
Should I go find her person or her money?
The answer is self-evident.
She suppressed all her true emotions, and her voice immediately switched to a nasal, aggrieved tone:
"Zhao Jia, I'm with my brother... in the hospital."
"It costs money to hire a caregiver, and the money should be spent wisely. I'll just stay here and watch over the place myself..."
She lowered her voice, filled with fatigue and helplessness, and every word seemed soaked in bitterness.
Sure enough, Zhao Jia on the other end of the phone had no interest in her elder brother who she said was "so badly injured."
To him, the life and death of Yu Bai's family is probably not as important as a dog on the street.
His mind is now filled with only one word - money!
"I don't care what happens to your brother!"
Zhao Jia interrupted her rudely, the disgust and impatience in his tone almost overflowing.
"Come back to me now! Right now! Do you hear me?"
After a pause, he seemed to feel that this was not enough, and added viciously, as if he was grasping Yu Bai's weak spot:
"If you don't come back and keep dithering, we'll break up!"
separate?
These two words were like a poisoned dagger, the sharpest one that pierced Yu Bai's heart in his previous life.
But at this moment, Yu Bai just found it ridiculous.
Her voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and a fragility that was about to collapse:
“Break up…break up?!”
"Zhao Jia! How can you say that?!"
"We...were not doing well together? Why did you break up with me?"
"No... please, don't break up with me... is there something I did wrong?"
"Just tell me, I'll change it, right away, isn't that okay?"
Her voice was trembling and filled with tears.
The image of a poor woman who was frightened by the threat of "breaking up" and begged for love in the dust was portrayed vividly and vividly.
Yu Sheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the road ahead with no change in his eyes, but his hands holding his knees were quietly clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands were faintly visible.
If he hadn't known that his younger sister was acting, and if he hadn't been suppressing the rage in his heart, he would have really wanted to tear that beast to pieces!
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jia was silent for two seconds when he heard Yu Bai's tearful and almost irrational plea.
Then, an indescribable sense of pride and control instantly filled his chest, making him feel a little dizzy.
See, he knows it!
This Yu Bai is a scoundrel!
I love him to death and can't live without him!
As soon as he gave the slightest sign of leaving, she would be frightened out of her wits and wag her tail like a dog.
separate?
That was just a means for him to control her.
but……
A dark thought flashed through Zhao Jia's mind: perhaps, they didn't need to break up for the time being.
Wouldn't it be easier and longer-term to squeeze money out of her by keeping her hanging with the threat of "breaking up"?
And he only needs to give her a little "sweetness" occasionally to make her wholeheartedly give up everything for him.
