âIâll let you hear it yourself now so that you can understand that youâre already out.â Ji Wei quickly made a call.
However, just as he dialed, he felt that it might not be appropriate for him to do this. He glared at Wen Chen and threatened in a low voice, âYouâd better not make a sound. Otherwise⦠or 1â11 hang up.â
Wen Chen did not speak. He even instinctively held his breath and looked at Ji Wei anxiously.
Ji Wei was going to call Jing Yao. Wen Chen hadnât seen or heard Jing Yaoâs voice for a long time.
Ji Wei turned on the loudspeaker and the phone rang for more than 10 seconds before it was picked up.
âLittle Wei?â Jing Yaoâs breath was a little unsteady when she spoke.
Ji Weiâs heart tightened. He thought that something was wrong with her and asked anxiously, âSister Yaoyao, whatâs wrong? Are you feeling unwell?â
Wen Chen could tell too. He opened his mouth to ask, but immediately held back.
Jing Yao exclaimed and hurriedly replied, âNo, no.â
âHey, youâre so annoying. Stay away from me. Iâm talking to Little Wei on the phone.â
The last sentence was a little vague, probably because she held the cell phone away and whispered it. Ji Weiâs cell phone had a good sound effect, so they heard what she said in a low voice.
Knowing that Jing Yao was fine, Ji Wei heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Wen Chen, who was standing opposite him, felt his heart clench.
He knew who Jing Yao was talking to. He could even imagine Jing Yaoâs current situation.
Jealousy was like a fire seed landing on a wasteland filled with withered grass, burning his mind.
He opened his mouth a few times, but the name that had once lingered in his mouth could not come out. His throat seemed to be strangled, and the suffocating feeling made his eyes burn.
âLittle Wei, whatâs the matter?â Jing Yao sounded helpless, not because of Ji Wei, but because of Liang Xun, who had been making trouble for her.
Perhaps because he was going to Lin City for a business trip recently, Liang Xun was very clingy and had to be intimate with her. Even though it was the same in the past, he knew how to control himself back then. Now, every time Jing Yao resisted, he would pretend to be pitiful and say that he would not see her for a long time when he went to Lin City. He already missed Yaoyao before he went.
Then he accused Jing Yao of not thinking about him at all.
Jing Yao was speechless.
âIâm fine.â Ji Wei touched his nose guiltily and asked, âErm, Brother-in-law is with you now, right?â
Jing Yao did not reply. Liang Xunâs cold voice came from the other end.
âTell him Iâm not here.â
ââ¦â Ji Wei.
Jing Yao coughed and said uncomfortably, âHeâs not here. Do you have something to look for him? Is it urgent? If itâs urgent, heâs⦠heâs in the living room. 1⦠Iâll go out to look for him immediately.â
ââ¦â Ji Wei.
Jing Yao rarely lied and felt very uncomfortable. She almost said, âHeâs here if itâs important.â
There was a chuckle from the phone and a doting sentence. âYou donât even know how to lie.â
Jing Yao snorted and couldnât be bothered with Liang Xun. She asked Ji Wei, âLittle Wei, whatâs the matter?â
Ji Wei cleared his throat. He wanted to send Liang Xun away, but Jing Yao lied to him about Liang Xun and said that he was not around. How could he say the last sentence âI have something to tell you aloneâ?
If that was the case, wouldnât Sister Yaoyao know that her lie had been exposed? Then she would probably be extremely embarrassed.
Forget it. There were just a few questions anyway.
âI have a question for you.â Ji Wei said.
Jing Yao nodded and said, âGo ahead.â
Ji Wei felt quite awkward just thinking about this question. It was even more awkward to ask, but he still had to ask, âSister Yaoyao, if, I said if. If Brother-in-law goes bankrupt and has nothing, will you still love him?â
Jing Yao opened her mouth slightly and could not say anything. She did not understand why Ji Wei suddenly asked this.
Liang Xun was so angry that he laughed. What kind of bullsh*t question was that? Even if he, Liang Xun, was really bankrupt, he could rely on his own ability to support his wife and children. It was impossible for him to have nothing.
âHas this kid been asking for a beating recently?â Liang Xunâs cold voice sounded.
Ji Wei shrank his neck.
Jing Yao asked in confusion, âLittle Wei, why did you suddenly ask this?â
Ji Wei took a deep breath and did not answer. He only said, âSister Yaoyao, just answer me.â
Jing Yao was silent for a second before she said, âYouâre too young and might not understand this. Iâm married to Liang Xun, so weâre one now. If he really has nothing, I can support him. To me, itâs already good enough to be with him..â
