"…" Yan Beicheng hung up without another word.
Wei Zilin stared at his phone and clicked his tongue. This person was kind enough to give him a message. Why didn't he say anything?
Yan Beicheng was not in the mood to talk to Wei Zilin. He was afraid that Lin Chu would misunderstand. It was not that he was worried that Lin Chu did not trust him enough. It was just that Lin Chu had just gone through the incident with Cheng Ziming. It would be hard for her not to think about it if it happened again.
He hung up the phone and immediately called Lin Chu. It rang many times, making Yan Beicheng very anxious. He even looked at Zuo Qiu, who was sitting next to him, with disdain.
He casually pointed at the side of the road with his long finger. "Stop."
Shao Huai looked at the situation of the car in the rearview mirror and turned the steering wheel to stop by the side of the road.
"You two, get out of the car. Come back after I call you," Yan Beicheng quickly said before Lin Chu answered the phone.
Shao Huai and Zuo Qiu looked at each other and quickly got out of the car. They stood by the side of the road and looked at Yan Beicheng in the car.
Lin Chu was preparing for work when Yan Beicheng called. She felt bad for delaying her work. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. She quickly took her phone and went out before answering the call.
"Hello?" Lin Chu went directly to the stairwell and answered the call softly.
"Did I disturb your work?" Yan Beicheng asked gently.
"I was preparing for work. Everyone is busy so I came out to answer the call. I feel bad," Lin Chu said honestly.
"…" Yan Beicheng paused. He could not tell if she was angry or not. "Did you see the news?"
Lin Chu's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly did not know if he was calling to explain that it was a misunderstanding or to lay his cards on the table.
She had always thought that Yan Beicheng was a very responsible person. He would take responsibility for what he did and would not drag things out. It was also possible that he was using the news to tell her that he was sorry and wanted to break up with her.
Lin Chu felt her heart skip a beat as she realized that she had never thought of this possibility before. Now that she thought of it, her heart ached as if a blunt knife was cutting through it. It was so painful that she refused to give him a quick end.
It was just a guess, but it hurt her even more than when she found out she was betrayed by Cheng Ziming.
Lin Chu leaned weakly against the wall and took a deep breath. She did not pretend that she did not know. Instead, she tried her best to sound as calm as possible. "I saw it."
Her cold tone made Yan Beicheng so anxious that he was scratching his head. He wished he could open the window and ask the two people standing by the roadside, freezing in the cold, what to do.
Yan Beicheng exhaled and said, "It's not like what the news said. I came to Serene City to settle some matters. Coincidentally, there was also an elder in my family in Serene City who invited me out for a meal. I couldn't refuse, so I went. Who knew that there would be a mother and daughter together? I didn't sit for long before I excused myself and left. I think I know why the news was able to take that picture. "
Lin Chu also knew that it was the elder who had leaked the news to the reporters, so they had purposely waited there to take photos.
However, from Yan Beicheng's tone, it seemed like he did not really like the elders in Serene City. Even though they were both in Serene City, he actually described them as unlucky. However, after hearing what he said, Lin Chu felt relieved instead. The discomfort she felt earlier had dissipated, and she felt as though she had regained her strength. Her heart felt as though it had just been strangled, but it was suddenly released. It was so relaxed.
Lin Chu stood up straight and moved away from the slightly cold wall. She unconsciously acted like a spoiled child who wanted to settle scores with the legal wife. "Then why did we meet for the second time?"
"Second time?" Yan Beicheng was stunned and did not react for a moment.
Lin Chu was no longer upset or angry, so she was in the mood to blame him with a little grievance. "I saw Zuo Qiu's Moments today. When he took a selfie, you and the lady were not far behind him. The two of you looked at each other with an indescribable affection."
Hearing Lin Chu's exaggerated description, Yan Beicheng felt wronged. He immediately lowered the window and glared at Zuo Qiu who was standing beside the car, freezing in the cold.
Zuo Qiu blinked and fiercely sniffed the snot that was about to flow out of his nose. He looked extremely innocent.
Yan Beicheng fiercely rolled up the window again, but he did not forget to peek out of the window to glare at Zuo Qiu.
Zuo Qiu noticed that Yan Beicheng's pair of eyes were strangely looking up as the window went up. Yan Beicheng only sat back down on the leather seat when the window was shut tight and his eyes could no longer peek out.
Zuo Qiu looked innocently at Shao Huai who was standing beside him. He noticed that Shao Huai was admiring the long legs of a beauty in a short skirt who walked past them. Zuo Qiu, who was being ignored, needed a little care from a comrade. He reached out and pulled Shao Huai, finally getting Shao Huai's gaze back.
Shao Huai patted Zuo Qiu's shoulder. "Don't cry. You'll be fine after we go home."
Zuo Qiu, "…"
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from the side. Zuo Qiu and Shao Huai looked over at the same time and saw a young lady holding a comic magazine. She was looking at them ambiguously, but there was a hint of wretchedness in her eyes. When she saw the two of them looking over, she snickered and scurried away. However, she still looked back from time to time, her ambiguous gaze moving back and forth between the two of them.
As two straight men, Zuo Qiu and Shao Huai did not know what that gaze meant. They were extremely naïve.
Yan Beicheng, who was in the car, was anxious to explain to Lin Chu. He was so anxious that he stuttered, "No … That, that girl came to our branch office in Ning City to block me. However, he was chased away by me with righteous words. Really! I'm going back to B City tomorrow. Wait for me. "
"Got it. I have to go back to work. I won't talk to you anymore. Goodbye." Lin Chu finished and hung up.
"…" Yan Beicheng stared blankly at his phone. Was she … still mad at him?
Yan Beicheng felt gloomy for a while. Someone knocked on the car window a few times. He lowered it and saw Zuo Qiu bending over with his face outside the window. "Master Yan, we're going to be late if we don't leave now."
Yan Beicheng impatiently asked them to get in.
Yan Beicheng glanced at Zuo Qiu. He did not say anything, but Zuo Qiu was on tenterhooks.
After a long time, he said faintly, "Don't send too many selfies. Even if you do, pay attention to what's behind you!"
Zuo Qiu was shocked. He quickly opened his WeChat and carefully looked at the photo just now. He realized that he had taken a photo of Yan Beicheng and Miss Chen.
Zuo Qiu's first reaction was to delete the photo. Yan Beicheng glared daggers at him. "I'll look guilty if I delete it."
"…" Zuo Qiu quietly opened Lin Chu's WeChat and sent a message.
"Miss Lin, Master Yan and Miss Chen are innocent."
Lin Chu did not use WeChat when she was working. She only opened it when she was bored on the way home after work.
She saw that there were 19 unread messages from Zuo Qiu.
"Miss Lin, Young Master Yan really chased Miss Chen away with righteous words."
"Miss Lin, Master Yan didn't even lay a finger on her."
"Miss Lin, why didn't you reply to me? Miss Lin, are you angry? OTL。”
Lin Chu looked at these messages, speechless. They were all sent in the afternoon. It had been more than half a day, so she did not reply. She only found out that the girl Yan Beicheng met in Ning City was surnamed Chen.
When she got back, Lin Chu told Xu Moyan about this. Xu Moyan was relieved.
On Saturday morning, Lin Chu woke up and tidied up. After breakfast, she saw Xu Moyan in her pajamas. Her hair was messy and she yawned as she walked out. When she saw that Lin Chu had already tidied up, she remembered. "Oh, right. You're going back to the orphanage today."
Lin Chu smiled and walked to the door. She had already placed the gifts she had prepared for the orphanage at the door. They were not expensive items, just some snacks, fruits, and small toys.
