Mr. Mu’s Call (2)

EndlessFantasy TranslationEndlessFantasy Translation It was the first time Xi Xiaye had spoken on the phone for this long, talking about random matters. The man just listened quietly on the other end. After a while, she stopped when she noticed that she was the one doing all the talking and had not heard his voice at all. Mu Yuchen? She called out to him. Mmm? He replied casually. I thought you fell asleep. Why arent you talking? She frowned slightly as she complained. He chortled. Arent I listening to you? Grandmother is pretty free. She wont mind coming over to help. Xi Xiaye was moving the mouse in her hand as she responded, Mmm, I get it. Grandmother mentioned our wedding tonight. I told them well set it for October thefirst because Su Nan and Ruan Hengs wedding is on the fifteenth, so you think Up to you. Ill leave the decision to you to make as long as its within this year. I dont have any opinions on it, he said as he flicked the cigarette onto the ashtray. While he was not very fond of traditional ceremonies, he did not want to let her down, so he left the decisions up to her for the wedding as long as she was happy. Her eyes brightened, she asked mindlessly as she focused on her laptop screen,Are you in the hotel right now? Why is it so quiet? Where else do you think Id be? Who knows? You might be having fun with your business partners somewhere, she replied straightforwardly, familiar with how business talks went. She knew what could happen. Mu Yuchen was a little stunned by Xi Xiayes words. He grinned under the dim yellow light, his eyes turning gentle. Are you trying to check on me now? Xi Xiaye took a deep breath. What do you mean by that? Mu Yuchen then noticed that this woman had been with him for too long and had started to get better with words. He put a hand on his forehead as he stopped teasing her. Its pretty late now. Go to bed and get some rest. Ive called Li Si and hell go back to work tomorrow, so hell be helping you. Mmm, got it. She continued working after hanging up the call. By the point she noticed the time, it was nearly 11 p.m. already. When she turned her laptop off, she finally realized that he really was not around and she suddenly felt that the villa was pretty empty. An unfamiliar silence awaited her. She turned off the lights and went to sleep. In contrast to the quiet Maple Residence, theatmosphere in West Park was gloomy. Yue Lingsi sat on the living room sofa with a clouded expression. All she thought about was Shen Wennas beautiful face as well as Xi Mushans unhappy voice Xi Xinyi came back without her realizing. She asked out of concern when she noticed Yue Lingsi not seeming very well,Mother, why havent you gone to sleep yet? Whats wrong? Yue Lingsi came back to her senses when she heard her daughters voice. She turned around and saw Xi Xinyi was already beside her.Xinyi, youre back! Mmm, Yifeng sent me to the door. Hes afraid that he might be bothering you since its pretty late already. Whats wrong? What happened when you met Aunt Shen today? Xi Xinyi sat down beside Yue Lingsi, slowly holding Yue Lingsis hands. Yue Lingsi sighed and expressed in a depressed tone, Shen Wenna didnt really change all these years. She seems even more Her personality has become even more stubborn than before. Its not going to be easy for her to let go, but your grandmother Mother, I understand that youre unhappy about her. However, were at fault here. Didnt I tell you to talk nicely to her? Xi Xinyi frowned as she looked at Yue Lingsi helplessly. Yue Lingsi stubbornly retorted, I wanted to talk to Shen Wenna nicely too, but that witc- but the way she looked just made me so angry! She even called Xi Xiaye over. Then, Xi Xiaye called your father there and then to ask about the shares. Your father Xi Xinyis eyes looked cold when Yue Lingsi mentioned it. What did you say? Sis called Father? Yue Lingsi affirmed, Yes, shes not the Xi Xiaye we know anymore. She dared to threaten me. She threatened me right in front of Shen Wenna! Xi Xinyis eyes had mixed emotions as she gave it some thought. Mother, lets give up on those shares. Im really fine. I dont want your relationship with Aunt Shen to get worse. If Father gets upset about it, I wouldnt be happy even if we kept Yueying. I really dont care about these as long as I have my family. Moreover, I dont want Aunt Shen and Sis to bear such hostility against us You dont understand, Xinyi. Both your grandmother and I are already worried that the document is with Shen Wenna who has now given it to Xi Xiaye. Who knows what shes going to do with it? Just look at how she treats you! Were not going to be at peace if she continues being this impudent Xinyi, youre too soft, and thats why Yue Lingsi did not agree to just let this matter go and neither would Deng Wenwen. The internal drama in Yueying was getting chaotic with so much happening lately. Rumor has it that someone bought shares from the stakeholders at a high price. They would need some countermeasure for it. Were worried that if Shen Wennas shares got into their hands, then Yueying Dont worry, Mother. Let me think about how to convince Sis. Yueying is Grandmothers hard work, and its also the legacy of the Xi family. Im sure Sis wouldnt betray us. We have to believe in her. Its pretty late already. Go and get some sleep. Xi Xinyi held Yue Lingsi by the shoulder and supported her. Yue Lingsi nodded. Alright, you rest earlier too. Im going to think of another way. She then walked towards the staircase. Xi Xinyi stared at the empty staircase. After some time, biting her lip as she hesitated, she took out her phone and swiftly dialed a number. The call connected quickly. Go and confirm how many times did Xi Xiaye go, especially this year. I need specific information, Xi Xinyi ordered. Ill let you know in three days. The call ended after a cold reply from the other side.
