None of them knew that Xiao Lingye didn't go downstairs at all after leaving the house. After throwing away the trash, he walked straight to the house next door where Lin Wanwan lived, entered the password, and then... walked in.
Same house, almost the same layout.
When Xiao Lingye entered the room, Xiao Yan was turning on the computer, sitting on the sofa hard and working overtime.
The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
While others are preparing to welcome the New Year, he is the one working hard.
However, seeing his old brother return here, he finally gained some psychological balance.
uh-huh.
He chuckled, closed the computer and came over, "Brother, why didn't you stay overnight at Xiao Wanwan's place? Did Ruirui kick you out?"
"..."
This gesture of gloating over misfortune cannot be concealed.
Xiao Lingye took off his down jacket and glanced at him lightly, "Very free?"
Xiao Yan was excited and quickly sat upright, "I'm so busy, I'm almost exhausted!"
"So you still have time to gossip?"
"Oh, I'm starting to work, brother, please don't disturb me..." As he said that, he quickly turned on the computer and pretended to be busy.
"..."
During the Chinese New Year, the company was on holiday, and they also had rare leisure time. Xiao Lingye poured a cup of hot tea, sat on the single sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the snowflakes falling outside, and enjoyed the rare leisure time.
In the living room.
Xiao Yan could only hold it in for a while before he couldn't hold it in any longer. He leaned over and said, "Brother, does Ruirui know that you live next door to her?"
Xiao Lingye took a sip of hot tea and glanced at him again, "If you don't tell him, he won't know."
"I swear, I will never tell him."
Only then did Xiao Lingye look away.
"Ding ding ding——"
The cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Xiao Lingye took out her cell phone from her pocket, looked at the caller ID, and frowned slightly.
"Who?"
"Over there at the old house." Xiao Lingye threw the phone to Xiao Yan casually, "You answer it."
"oh!"
Xiao Yan quickly pressed the answer button.
The caller was Jiang Ning. As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Ning's soft voice came over, "Ling Ye..."
"Ahem, Mom, it's me!" Xiao Yan said.
"Why is it you? Where's your brother?" Jiang Ning's tone immediately changed.
"..."
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched wildly, "Mom, why are you so gentle when talking to my brother? Talking to me is like eating a bomb. Am I your and dad's biological son?"
"I wish you weren't my biological child, you bastard with your elbows turned out."
"..."
Just because he said a few words for little Wanwan, does his mother hold a grudge against him?
wipe!
Then I still hang out with little Wanwan every day. Why don't I see my mother scolding me?
Xiao Yan doubts life.
He couldn't really have picked it up, right?
"mom……"
"Let your brother answer the phone."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Lingye, who was holding a cup of hot tea and sipping it as if he hadn't heard what his mother said.
"..." Xiao Yan coughed lightly, "My brother is busy now."
"Xiao Yan, you think your mother is stupid. It's already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month and the entire company is on holiday. What are you still busy with?"
"There is a cross-border case that is still being followed up. We are celebrating New Year's Eve, and foreigners are not good at it."
"Is he really busy?"
"More real than real gold." Xiao Yan lied without blushing or out of breath.
"Then tell your brother that you will take your sweetheart back to your old house for New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow."
"And me?"
"You can come over as well."
"..."
Xiao Yan was angry.
Why did my brother and my sweetheart want to go back, but he just wanted to go back?
"Mom, you are too focused on your thighs!"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell your brother, do you hear me?"
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Lingye, who pursed her lips and shook her head expressionlessly.
"Mom, what if my brother doesn't go back?"
"Then I will only ask you!"
"..."
Xiao Yan burst into tears.
He provoked whomever he provoked.
The mobile phone in his hand has become a hot potato. It doesn't matter whether Xiao Yan throws it away or not. No wonder my brother asked him to answer the phone. He must have known there was a trap and deliberately endangered him!
As for that!
Wasn't it Ruirui who called him "Second Uncle"?
How about he not show off next time?
"elder brother……"
Seeing Xiao Yan in a dilemma, Xiao Lingye slowly put down the teacup and stretched out a hand.
Xiao Yan quickly put the phone in his hand and ran away as fast as he could.
Xiao Lingye put the phone to her ear, "It's me!"
"Ling Ye..." Jiang Ning's voice softened again, "It's the end of the year, don't push yourself too hard. If you're not in a hurry at work, you can take your time... Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and then you
Bring your sweetheart back for New Year’s Eve dinner. Your parents have bought new year’s goods and prepared your sweetheart’s favorite food..."
"No!"
Xiao Lingye interrupted her with a faint voice. On the opposite side, Jiang Ning's voice immediately stopped, "Ling Ye..."
"My sweetheart and I will not go back to our old home to celebrate the New Year this year."
"Then where are you spending time together?" Jiang Ning's voice raised an octave, "Don't tell you that you are going to spend time with that woman Lin Wanwan!"
That woman!
Xiao Lingye looked slightly cold, "Mom, pay attention to your words!"
"Ling Ye! What's so good about that woman? You tell mom what you like about her, and mom will find you a better one according to your standards, okay?"
"Feel sorry!"
"Ling Ye..."
"I just want her!"
Jiang Ning breathed heavily in anger and didn't speak on the other end of the phone for a long time.
Xiao Lingye didn't hesitate at all, "It's okay, I'll hang up."
"you dare!"
Xiao Lingye frowned again, "Is there anything else?"
Jiang Ning was extremely angry, "You don't want to see your mother so much. Just because of a woman, you don't even want your parents?"
"First, I don't want to see you, you don't want to see my child and my child's mother! Second, Lin Wanwan has a name, you shouldn't call her a woman! Third, I don't want my parents.
, it’s you who can’t tolerate our family.”
Jiang Ning didn't speak for a long time, obviously very angry.
Xiao Lingye's voice was light, "It's getting late, please go to bed early."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
"..."
the other side.
Xiao Yan silently gave Xiao Lingye a thumbs up.
How dare you talk to your mother like this.
Bro!
Strong enough!
"Brother...are you afraid of offending my mother to death? She will reject Xiao Wanwan even more? Let me tell you, women are unreasonable creatures, especially our mother. In the past, no matter how busy you were at work,
During the Chinese New Year, I always take my sweetheart back to my old house to celebrate the New Year. Now that I suddenly don’t go back, my mother might think that you were instigated by Xiao Wanwan!"
Xiao Yan came over and said, "Mom won't hold a grudge against you, but she will definitely put this debt on Xiao Wanwan's head."
Throwing away the phone, Xiao Lingye didn't take it seriously at all, "Could it be that my good attitude means mom can accept Wanwan?"
Well……
Xiao Yan thought about it seriously and finally came to the conclusion, "No!"
That’s right!
Indeed not!
So...he must stand firm and let his mother know his determination!
