Chapter 129: Xiaoxiao, Are You Heartbroken?
Seeing the caller ID, Ye Chuxiao was surprised that her mother was calling at this time.
Ye Chuxiao quickly composed herself, cleared her throat, and suppressed her bubbling pink feelings before answering the phone.
“Xiaoxiao,” her mother, Zhang Chenchen, asked from the other end, “Who were you just on the phone with? It took so long?”
“Huh? Oh…” Ye Chuxiao stammered, “It wasn’t that long, was it?”
“Not that long? I tried to call for an hour, and you were busy the whole time.”
Sniffle, did Mom call just a little later than Senior Student Ziyi? To be caught by her mother talking on the phone for an hour this late!
Mom won’t get the wrong idea, will she? Ye Chuxiao tugged at her hair and came up with an excuse: “I… I was actually talking to… our Dorm Leader, Bai Qianqian. I went to a friend’s house a few days ago, and she was curious and kept asking questions.”
Zhang Chenchen followed up on the topic, “Which friend’s house did Xiaoxiao go to?”
Ye Chuxiao became more troubled. Senior Student Ziyi’s father is good friends with her Great Uncle Ye Baiyu. If she mentioned Senior Student Ziyi’s name, her parents and Great Uncle would hear about it, and it would spread… She just didn’t want her secret crush on Senior Student Ziyi to be known by everyone!
Ye Chuxiao acted as if she didn’t care about Senior Student Ziyi at all and said, “A friend’s house. I went with another friend. My friend is more familiar with that friend. I just heard from my friend that the friend’s place has nice scenery, so I went along. We’re all alumni, that’s just how it is.”
Ye Chuxiao felt like she was confusing herself. She was so worried her mother would keep asking questions, and she wouldn’t be able to explain clearly!
Fortunately, at this moment, she heard her father’s voice from the other end: “Is Xiaoxiao’s call connected?”
“We’re talking now,” her mother’s voice replied.
“I have something important to tell Xiaoxiao.”
“Okay, I’ll go make breakfast.”
In France, it was already seven in the morning.
As the mobile phone was transferred to Ye Jiuli, Ye Chuxiao heard her father’s question: “Xiaoxiao, are you in a bad mood and went to a friend’s house to relax?”
“I, I, I… in a bad mood?” Ye Chuxiao was surprised her father would say that. Could it be that in her attempt to cover up her excitement from talking to Senior Student Ziyi, she overdid it and made her father think she was in a bad mood?
No way, she was just talking to her mother. Her father couldn’t tell if she was happy or unhappy, could he?
Although Ye Chuxiao asked a question, Ye Jiuli was very sure of his guess and said with a pained tone, “Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to hide it from Mom and Dad. Yesterday at noon, Chusheng brought a girl named Tang Jie’er home and said she was his girlfriend. Uncle Lin and Aunt Song immediately called to tell your mother and me about it. We discussed it and wanted to ask for your opinion. However, as parents, we watched you and Chusheng grow up together, and we know you well. It would be best if you could be together. If Xiaoxiao likes Chusheng, Uncle Lin and Aunt Song can persuade him, and Chusheng might listen to his parents’ opinion.”
Ye Chuxiao witnessed Brother Chusheng and Miss Tang getting together at Senior Student Jin Xian’s birthday banquet. At that time, she couldn’t hide her sadness and even cried by the fountain outside the villa.
But later, with Senior Student Ziyi’s comfort and companionship, she had gradually let go.
Brother Chusheng was indeed a very important person to her, like family. He was her brother, and she wished him happiness with the girl who made him happy.
