Chapter 127 - Mother’s Phone Call

Seeing that his mother was no longer frowning, Liu Che was happy. He couldn’t help but mutter, “Sigh, if only your sister-in-law was my sister-in-law.” It was a pity that he didn’t even have a brother.

“Stop thinking about it.” Ji Mo looked at him with disdain. “Don’t you want to play games? Come. Let’s go to the third floor. My third brother loves to collect games. He has a room full of games.”

“Okay.”

The two youths put their arms around each other’s shoulders and happily went upstairs. However, Ji Mo’s phone suddenly rang. He stopped in his tracks, and his expression was complicated for a moment.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Che noticed that something was wrong and asked in a daze, “Why didn’t you pick up the call? If you don’t want to pick up, then just hang up. Don’t delay us from playing games.”

“No, it’s my mother’s call.” Ji Mo’s lips twitched. “She… She’s changed a lot recently and treats me quite well. I didn’t pick up because I was afraid that you would be unhappy…”

“That’s it?” Liu Che waved his hand when he heard that, he said indifferently, “If you want to pick up, just pick up. What are you afraid of? Although I still don’t like her, she’s still your mother, and we’re good brothers. It has nothing to do with your mother. Besides, our sister-in-law is right. Cheating isn’t something that can be done by one person. My father can’t control his lower body, and he’s not a good person either.”

“I’m glad that you’re not angry.” Ji Mo nodded and took a step to the side. “Then you go to the game room first. I’ll go over after I answer the call.”

It wasn’t Liu Che’s first time here, so he was already familiar with the layout of the third floor. He waved at Ji Mo and walked in. Ji Mo lowered his eyes and stared at the phone screen. It took him quite a while to answer the call.

“Ji Mo, why did it take you so long to answer the call?”

Wu Tong seemed to have really changed over the past few days. Every now and then, she would ask Ji Mo about his well-being and act like a loving mother.

“I was playing with a friend, so I didn’t hear the ringtone.” Ji Mo asked, “Mom, is something the matter?”

“I miss you.” Wu Tong’s voice carried a hint of a smile. “I bought your favorite strawberry cake and wanted to bring it for you to eat, but the guard didn’t let me in. Can you come out to pick me up?”

“It’s not the right time, mom.” Ji Mo hesitated for a moment. “There are many guests at home today. Let me go out to eat with you.”

“There are guests at home…” Wu Tong was a little surprised. After a pause, she said, “It’s troublesome to eat out. I don’t want to delay your studies. How about this? Let’s sit in the garden and watch you finish eating the cake before I leave, okay?”

Ji Mo was silent, and his knuckles were a little white.

nswer.

“Ji Mo?” Wu Tong frowned when she couldn’t get an answer. “Don’t you want to see me? Did I do something wrong that made you angry?”

“I… No.” Ji Mo lowered his head and said softly, “I’ll go out and pick you up right now.”

Wu Tong replied with a smile and hung up the phone. Ji Mo stood where he was and watched the phone screen slowly turned dark. The black phone screen reflected his bloodshot eyes.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy loved to play games. Liu Che felt like he was in heaven when he entered the Ji family’s game room. He found his favorite game and played it for a long time before he realized that Ji Mo had not came yet.

He put down the game and went out to look around, but he did not see Ji Mo. The butler, who was busy preparing the food in the kitchen, just happened to see Liu Che running around. He e could not help but come forward to stop Liu Che. “Mr. Liu, what are you looking for? Are you hungry or thirsty?”

“No, no, no. I’m looking for Ji Mo.” Liu Che scratched his head. “We agreed to play games together, but I can’t find him.”

“Isn’t the young master upstairs with you?” The butler was stunned and thought about it carefully. “I think I saw the young master walking towards the garden earlier.” “Ah, then I’ll go look for him.” Liu Che didn’t think too much about it and smiled. “I’m tired from playing games anyway.” Liu Che had come to the Ji family many times. The butler had a good impression of him, so he let Liu Che go. The Ji family’s garden was connected to the greenhouse. Under the careful care of the gardener, the flowers bloomed beautifully along the way.

Liu Che walked along the bluestone road as he looked. Suddenly, he heard the sound of something breaking. “Bang!”

“These flowers are all in a mess. Which one is it? If I knew this would happen, I would have asked for a photo first. I can’t even see the pictures on the internet!”

The woman’s voice was filled with impatience. As she cursed, she lifted her high heels and kicked down a pot of very beautiful roses.
