Chapter 638: Chapter 637: 637, Chu Er who eats dog food

“Is it like this, are you busy right now? I messaged you on WeChat earlier but didn’t receive a reply. So, I took the liberty to call you, I hope I did not disturb you.”

Indeed, as a radio host, his voice is very pleasant to listen to.

“I’m outside and didn’t pay attention to my phone,” Shi Huan got straight to the point, “Apologies, Mr. Wan. Actually, I added you on WeChat just to please the elders. I have no plans to date anyone right now.”

“Ha ha,” Wan Yiming’s laugh was full of cheerfulness, “Miss Shi, isn’t it too early to reject me? We haven’t even met face-to-face, and hardly talked. It will be quite awkward for me.”

“Apologies, but I really have no intention…”

“Does Miss Shi have someone she likes? Youran told me you are single right now. If that is so, why don’t we meet? Even if we cannot become a couple, we can still be friends. I agreed to Youran because she mentioned you are into investments, and I am planning to do the same, but I don’t have any well-informed friends.”

The way Wan Yiming spoke was fluent and calm, not too loud nor too soft, radiating a steady aura. Clearly, he was a very well-mannered man.

At last, he said, “Let’s do this, since you are busy, I won’t disturb you any longer. Later on, we can chat in detail on WeChat. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Finally hung up the call.

Shi Huan took a sigh of relief.

“Secretary Shi.” Suddenly, a male voice came.

Shi Huan turned, “Mr. Zhou.”

Zhou Tingzheng was holding a black golf club, smiling at her, “Secretary Shi, why are you alone here? Would you like to practice together?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou, I’m not very good at golf.”

“That’s okay, I can teach you,” Zhou Tingzheng immediately said.

Shi Huan looked around and saw that Su Wanwan had already left in a golf cart with Huo Jingshen.

As for Chu Xiuhuang, he was still having a heated chat with Lili.

The woman’s bell-like laughter kept coming over.

“Secretary Shi?” Zhou Tingzheng gestured, “We have nothing else to do. Why don’t you give it a try?”

“Okay.” Shi Huan could only walk over, “But, Mr. Zhou, you’ll have to be patient with me, I’m really not good at this.”

The beginner’s training area was empty except a few staff members.

While Shi Huan was holding the club, suddenly a pair of greasy hands held hers.

Zhou Tingzheng’s voice was almost whispering in her ear, “Secretary Shi, let me teach you how to hold it… hands on the club, little fingers hooking onto each other…”

Shi Huan’s eyebrows furrowed, she took a step forward to avoid his touch, “Mr. Zhou, it’s okay, I…”

“Secretary Shi, why are you being so formal? I can teach you.” Saying this, Zhou Tingzheng moved closer again, holding onto her.

“… Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?”

“Don’t overthink, Secretary Shi. This is my phone.”

Shi Huan: “…”

When Zhou Tingzheng tried to get closer again, she had had enough. She picked up the club and swung it backward at full force.

“Ah!”

A bout of severe pain made Zhou Tingzheng take a step backwards, clutching himself, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.

Shi Huan turned, “Mr. Zhou, are you alright?”

Zhou Tingzheng gritted his teeth, “No… It’s nothing.”

Shi Huan then said, “Mr. Zhou, it’s better not to bring your phone while doing sports. You might accidentally hurt yourself.”

Zhou Tingzheng was speechless.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang, hearing the scream, immediately stood up and rushed over, “What happened?”

Shi Huan nonchalantly said, “Nothing, Mr. Zhou is getting older and seems to have hurt himself just now.”

Zhou Tingzheng: “…”

Chu Xiuhuang squinted at Zhou Tingzheng.

He hadn’t been looking this way earlier, so he didn’t know the specifics.

“Let me call 911 for you,” Shi Huan said, picking up her phone and dialing, acting like she was genuinely concerned.

Zhou Tingzheng was disgusted by her insincerity at the moment.

This damn woman!

She looks all innocent, but she is so brutal!

That strike just now, it was like she was trying to waste him!

“Oh my God, Mr. Zhou, are you alright?” Lili ran over, her chest bouncing.

Zhou Tingzheng bore the pain and stood up straight, “Hurry… help me.”

Lili quickly held up his arm.

They had only taken a few steps when they heard Shi Huan calling from behind, “Mr. Zhou, the ambulance is on the way. Where are you going?”

“Mr. Zhou?”

“Help me get away quickly!” Zhou Tingzheng was hysterical.

Lili: “…”

When they finally hobble away, Shi Huan suppressed her laughter and put down her phone, “Mr. Chu, since Mr. Zhou left, I will leave as well.”

“What are you doing?”

Shi Huan looked at him, confused, “The clients have all left. What else would I do here?”

She wasn’t fond of golf.

She wasn’t good at it, and found it uninteresting unless it was for business.

Most importantly, she’s feeling very hungry now.

She got up too early today and spent a lot of time driving around with little Luoluo, and it’s almost 2 in the afternoon and she still hasn’t eaten.

Chu Xiuhuang immediately said, “I’ll go with you.”

“What about Mr. Huo and the others….”

“Don’t mind those two inseparable fellas.” Chu Xiuhuang said and turned around.

Shi Huan hurried to follow him.

Just a few steps later, her phone rang again.

This time it was a call from Tu Youran.

Shi Huan glanced at it, thought for a moment, and put the phone on silent.

*

*

The Shi family’s residence.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.”

Tu Youran put down her phone, her shapely eyebrows knitted together.

Why is she not answering the phone?

Could it be true, as told by Wan Yiming, that Shi Huan is busy outside?

She went back to the living room, where only Qian Yulin was watching TV.

“Sister-in-law, where’s Luoluo?”

Qian Yulin said, “She’s gone back to her room, probably sleeping.”

“Alright, sister-in-law, I’m also going back to my room.”

“Ok.”

In the three-bedroom apartment, one of the rooms facing south was originally occupied by Shi Qingge. It remained vacant for years while she studied abroad and later Shi Minyan temporarily lived there when he returned.

Tu Youran pushed the door open and immediately saw little Luoluo sitting on the couch with a small mobile phone in her hands.

“Luoluo!”

The sudden stern voice made little Luoluo tremble, and the small phone “thud” fell to the floor.

She lifted her small head and called out timidly, “Mom.”

Tu Youran closed the door and picked up the small phone from the ground, her voice seething with anger, questioning, “Hasn’t mom told you that you’re not allowed to secretly play with a phone? Why didn’t you listen to mom?”

Little Luoluo scrunches up her small face, “Mom, I’m sorry.”

“You are not allowed to play with the phone anymore, did you hear that!”

“Yes, I heard.”

Tu Youran still wasn’t satisfied, and picked up the phone to take a look.

In the WeChat conversation on the screen, the person she was chatting with was Shi Huan.

An avatar of a sunflower against a background of blue sky and white clouds was extremely glaring.

Tu Youran’s fingers turned white and then blue from the force, finally, she strode forward, opened the window, and forcefully threw the phone outside.

The phone smashed over the windowsill with a “clang” sound before falling down.

Little Luoluo was terrified by this sound, her clear black and white eyes filled with panic and fear.

A few seconds later, she couldn’t hold back anymore and began to sob out loud.

“You dare to cry? What are you crying for!”

The sound of Tu Youran’s angry words and the crying of the child rang out to the outside.

“What happened? What happened?” Qian Yulin rushed into the room, “Youran, what’s going on?”

“She plays with the phone behind my back every day, so I threw it away, and now she wants to throw a tantrum crying here!”

“…”

Little Luoluo cried hysterically with her little mouth wide open, tears pouring out, and her little body trembling non-stop, looking pitiful.

Qian Yulin’s heart softened and she couldn’t help but admonish, “She’s just a kid, just being momentarily playful, you’re going to scare her like this.”

“You’re still crying! Mom’s going to spank you if you keep crying!”

“Wuuu…Daddy…Daddy…” Little Luoluo cried even harder.

Soon after, Shi Minyan also came over from grandma Shi’s room.

Seeing the situation, he immediately said, “Sister-in-law, could you please help me take care of Luoluo.”

“Sure.”

When Qian Yulin took the little girl away, Shi Minyan closed the door, turned around, his usually warm face now cold, “Youran, what’s going on? Luoluo is only five years old, do you always have to yell at her to discipline her? The reason Luoluo isn’t close to you is because you’re always so strict with her. You don’t act like a mother at all!”

“Not close to me? Then who is she close to? Is she close to Shi Huan?” Tu Youran blurted out.

Shi Minyan’s facial expressions shifted slightly.

“Luoluo just lived with her for a few months, and she bought her a violin, a cell phone, and gave her whatever she wanted every day, buying her over with money! As her mother, do I not even have the right to discipline her now?” Tu Youran could barely control her emotions.

She really had tolerated that children’s phone for a long time, every time she saw little Luoluo secretly contacting Shi Huan with it, she felt utterly annoyed.

“Are you truly disciplining her, or venting your own personal desires?”

“What do you mean?” Tu Youran’s heart tightened abruptly.

Does he know that years ago it was she who… the child of Shi Huan…
