“Sister-in-law, what’s going on? If you have something to tell me, you don’t have to hide it from me. We’re family. If there’s anything, I’ll take care of it for you. Don’t be shy about it,” Zhou Mingfei said.
“It’s nothing. It’s just a small problem,” Jiang Tong smiled and asked Zhou Mingfei, “Do you think something will happen to me?”
“Okay, I know you’re amazing, but this is really strange.” Zhou Mingfei scratched his head. He asked, “Sister-in-law, do you really not need my help?”
“You don’t need to get involved in this matter. I’ll handle it. I’m hanging up.” Jiang Tong hung up the phone. Everything was as she had expected. After the call was hung up, there were two notifications on the phone. Earlier, when she was on the phone with Zhou Mingfei, someone called her cell phone but couldn’t get through, so she received a text notification. It was Zhou Jingyun. It was probably Zhou Mingfei who called Zhou Jingyun first after he had finished talking to Xie Wenkai’s mother, Madam Xie. Jiang Tong didn’t think that Madam Xie would call Zhou Jingyun. If she knew that the woman who took her son away was Zhou Jingyun’s girlfriend, not only would she not call Zhou Jingyun, but she would even have doubts and doubt her own judgment. Would Zhou Jingyun’s girlfriend be entangled with Xie Wenkai?
Madam Xie could not directly question him, but she was also worried that it would cause too much trouble. The most important thing was that with Zhou Jingyun’s personality, he may not entertain her. If she dared to say something unpleasant, Zhou Jingyun would really not care about pleasantries. Madam Xie could call Zhou Mingfei directly to inquire about the situation. Even if she had some disputes with Zhou Mingfei during the questioning process, they could be solved later on. However, it was different with Zhou Jingyun. If she had a conflict with Zhou Mingfei, she might not necessarily offend Zhou Mingfei. However, if she went to find trouble with Zhou Jingyun, she would directly offend Zhou Mingfei!
“Ring ring ring.” Jiang Tong had just finished reading the message when her phone rang. It was Zhou Jingyun calling. The moment the call was connected, Zhou Jingyun spoke first, “Zhou Mingfei just called me. What’s the situation on your end?” Zhou Jingyun’s tone was quite calm. However, he was a little puzzled. He asked, “What kind of relationship do you have with the Xie family? From what Zhou Mingfei said, you seem to have offended the Xie family. They were secretly investigating you yesterday. Today, they directly called Zhou Mingfei.”
“You want to know?” Jiang Tong’s tone carried a smile.
“If you’re willing to say it, then say it.” Zhou Jingyun knew that Jiang Tong would never say anything that she was not willing to say.
“Mm, wait a minute.” As Jiang Tong spoke, she lowered her head to look at Xie Wenkai. She handed the phone over and said, “Come, say something.”
Xie Wenkai was stunned for a moment. Jiang Tong wanted him to say something…? Although he heard Jiang Tong take two calls, he didn’t know what the person on the phone said. Jiang Tong didn’t reveal any key information, so he couldn’t guess who the person on the other end of the phone was. Of course, more importantly, Xie Wenkai didn’t want to hear the content of Jiang Tong’s call. He just wanted to enjoy himself today and didn’t want to care about other things. So now Xie Wenkai was stunned and didn’t know what Jiang Tong was going to do. Not only was Xie Wenkai stunned, but even Zhou Jingyun was also stunned. What did she mean by ‘say something’? Was there someone next to Jiang Tong?
“It will be fine, just say something.” Jiang Tong saw that Xie Wenkai kept looking at her. She curled her lips and gave Xie Wenkai a smile reassuring him that he didn’t have to worry about anything.
“What should I say?” Xie Wenkai asked in a low voice. Zhou Jingyun heard it from the other end of the phone. It was a man’s voice.
“You can say whatever you want to say. You don’t have to worry about him finding out who you are,” Jiang Tong said.
Xie Wenkai blinked his eyes and glanced at the phone screen. He asked Jiang Tong in a low voice, “Babe, who is the person on the phone? Would it be okay?” Although Xie Wenkai’s voice was very soft, the phone was right beside him, so Zhou Jingyun heard what he said. ‘Babe’? Not only was there a man beside Jiang Tong, but he also called her ‘Babe’?
What Zhou Jingyun didn’t know was that not only did Xie Wenkai call Jiang Tong ‘Babe’, but he also called Jiang Tong ‘Master’, ‘Darling’, and so on in the last four hours. When he was in high spirits, Xie Wenkai was really very open-minded!
“You want to know who it is? Go ask him yourself,” Jiang Tong said with a smile. Xie Wenkai then took the phone. Then, he cleared his throat and said, “Hello?” His tone was no longer as lazy as before but was very formal and polite.
“Who are you?” Zhou Jingyun asked directly, his tone very cold.
“Who are you?” Xie Wenkai frowned and asked back while turning his head to look at Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong still gave him a reassuring smile.
