âNothing will be delayed even if I go find you.â âSee? If I say it, youâll come and find me for sure.â Jiang Yujie smiled. âI donât want that. Brother, youâre not just using a computer, youâre also building a company. How can it be like you said, a simple matter of having a computer and a phone?
âJust let me have some peace by myself, please?â
âWhat do you need the peace for?â Jiang Huaizhou was confused. âWhat are you hiding from me?â
âBrother, youâve got to let me keep my little secrets. I canât tell you everything, now, can I?â Jiang Yujie couldnât keep the child-like tone from her voice.
Itâd only come out in front of Jiang Huaizhou.
He was defenseless against her being like this.
However, Jiang Huaizhouâs attention was all on Jiang Yujie on the screen, and he did not notice his fatherâs expression. Successfully keeping Jiang Huaizhou mum, Jiang Yujie quickly said, âDad, Mom, Brother, the planeâs about to liftoff. Iâm hanging up.â
âWait!â Mrs. Jiang called out. âYouâll at least call us when you arrive, right?â
Jiang Yujie bit her lip, nodding hesitantly. âYes, Iâll contact you guys. I really gotta go.â
With that, Jiang Yujie quickly hung up without waiting for further questions. For one, she really couldnât continue talking to them.
Secondly, the plane was truly about to take off.
After the call, the relaxed atmosphere around the Jiang family turned heavy.
Jiang Huaizhou also lost his appetite.
Jiang Yujie said sheâs grown and could take care of herself.
Indeed, in the two years he had spent in jail, unable to look after her, didnât Jiang Yujie manage to live well enough on her own?
But that was different.
In the past two years, Jiang Yujie was always in B City, her home.
But now, sheâd be alone in foreign places.
Moreover, no matter how old Jiang Yujie was, she would always be a little girl in Jiang Huaizhouâs heart.
How could he relax now that sheâs alone outside?
The meal was finished hurriedly.
Jiang Yujieâs sudden departure was too unexpected for the three.
Especially Jiang Huaizhou.
When it was almost dinner time, Mrs. Jiang was still anxious. âWhy hasnât Yujie called? No matter how far it is, she shouldâve arrived there by now.â
âWhy donât you try calling?â suggested Mr. Jiang
âOkay.â Mrs. Jiang dialed her number.
In the end, her phone was switched off. âThis⦠Why did she switch off her phone?â Mrs. Jiang panicked. âDid something happen?â
Just then, her phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
Mrs. Jiang did not recognize it and assumed it was some advertiser of some sort.
But the app installed on her phone did not notify her that it was an advertised call.
Thus, she picked it up. âHello?â
âMom, itâs me.â Jiang Yujieâs voice came from the phone. âI⦠I donât want Dad and Brother to know this number. Iâve changed it.â
âYouâ¦â Mrs. Jiangâs expression changed and she immediately went to the kitchen.
She closed the door and turned on the range hood. âIâm alone now. Yujie, are you in danger? So you couldnât tell me outright?â âOh. No,â Jiang Yujie replied.
