Because of the good relationship among the Jin City Five Young Masters, even though she didn’t have their phone numbers saved, she always kept the numbers of the other four in her mind!
After the phone rang twice, it was picked up, and Huo Junmo’s deep, magnetic voice ca through, "Hello, this is Huo Junmo!"
Ye Anxin politely replied, "Mr. Huo, this is Ye Anxin!"
Upon hearing it was Ye Anxin, Huo Junmo was clearly taken aback for a mont before saying, "Little sister-in-law, is there sothing you need from ?"
Ye Anxin pressed her lips together, hesitated for a mont, then said, "Mr. Huo, well... I know it’s abrupt to call you out of the blue today! But... I wanted to ask you when you’re free so we can have a al together! I have sothing I want to discuss with you about Yueyue!"
Huo Junmo hardly hesitated and said directly, "Alright! I’m free this evening, I’ll treat you to a al!"
"Okay! Then I’ll wait for you at the Chinese restaurant next to your company!" After saying that, Ye Anxin hung up the phone and instructed the driver to take her to Huo Tian Group.
After hanging up with Huo Junmo, Ye Anxin called Mu Beiting.
The phone was picked up almost instantly, and Mu Beiting’s usual emotionless voice ca through, "Hello!"
Ye Anxin said warmly, "Uncle! I have so matters tonight, so I won’t be coming ho for dinner! You eat with Xiao Bai at ho, and please apologize to him for !"
Mu Beiting asked irritably, "What’s the matter?"
Ye Anxin didn’t intend to hide it initially, but thought it was difficult to explain everything over the phone in just a few words. Seeing Mu Beiting ask directly, she smiled and explained, "I just went to a teahouse with Yueyue and had a cup of tea. I noticed she seed troubled about Mr. Huo! So I called Mr. Huo to have dinner, hoping to discuss Yueyue’s matter with him!"
Mu Beiting frowned, dissatisfied, "What does her matter have to do with you? I don’t allow it!"
Mu Beiting’s answer was sothing Ye Anxin had expected. Having spent these years together, she understood seven or eight tenths of his personality, so upon hearing Mu Beiting’s answer, she wasn’t angry or upset, just patiently explained, "How can Yueyue’s matter not concern ! Yueyue and I grew up together. Whenever I had a fallout with you back then, she often comforted . Now she’s facing a problem, as her good sister, if I don’t help her, who will? She’s had a tough life since childhood, unlike , who at least has a mother’s love! Besides , she’s got no one around her, I’m both her good friend and family! I don’t want her hard-earned happiness to disappear just like that! So I must have a good talk with Mr. Huo, otherwise, I’d feel guilty!"
After listening to Ye Anxin’s long speech, Mu Beiting on the other end of the call remained silent for a mont before reluctantly asking, "Where are you having dinner?"
Ye Anxin answered truthfully, "At the Chinese restaurant next to Huo Tian Group!"
Mu Beiting was silent again for a while before saying, "Be careful and stay safe!"
Seeing Mu Beiting agree so easily, Ye Anxin’s eyes curved into a smile, and she cheerfully replied, "Don’t worry, Uncle, it’ll be fine! I’ll be careful!"
"Mhm!" Mu Beiting responded nonchalantly, but made no move to end the call.
Seeing Mu Beiting didn’t seem to want to hang up, Ye Anxin knew he was reluctant to end the call so soon. She glanced outside the car window, seeing they were still so distance from Huo Tian Group, she asked again, "Uncle, are you busy today?"
Mu Beiting still answered with the sa indifferent tone, "It’s alright!"
"Make sure to take care of your health, no matter how busy you are. Don’t skip als, rember to take breaks, don’t handle everything personally, delegate tasks to others if you can...!" Ye Anxin started speaking without stopping, rattling off a string of advice!
Despite her nagging, Mu Beiting on the other end of the phone showed no sign of impatience, simply listening quietly to her chatter.
Ye Anxin was long accustod to this interaction mode, every ti it was her talking while he listened without a word, occasionally responding as a reply!
And no matter what she said, no matter how much she nagged, Uncle on the other end of the line always showed great patience, never finding her annoying, almost as if he enjoyed listening to her chatter.
Ye Anxin chatted with Mu Beiting for a long ti until she was almost at Huo Tian Group, then she smiled and said, "Uncle, I’ve reached my destination, I’ll hang up now!"
"Mhm!" Mu Beiting responded lightly, still showing no intention to hang up.
Before hanging up, Ye Anxin still couldn’t help but remind, "Uncle, don’t skip or delay dinner just because I won’t be accompanying you, it’s not good for your stomach! Once I finish talking with Mr. Huo, I’ll co back right away, don’t worry about !"
"Mhm!" Mu Beiting still only gave a one-word response.
Ye Anxin sighed in her heart, then reluctantly hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, the driver stopped at the entrance of the Chinese restaurant opposite Huo Tian Group.
Ye Anxin got out of the car and went inside, planning to ask a waiter to find a place, but saw Huo Junmo already sitting by the window, waving at her.
Seeing Huo Junmo so enthusiastic, Ye Anxin let out a slight breath of relief, feeling quite pleased!
At least this showed Huo Junmo cared about Yueyue; otherwise, he wouldn’t be waiting here so eagerly.
Ye Anxin walked towards Huo Junmo, who stood up, gentlemanly opened the chair across from him, invited her to sit, and then took a seat opposite.
Once they were both seated, he signaled for the waiter.
After the waiter handed over the nu, he passed it to Ye Anxin, politely saying, "Little sister-in-law, I don’t know what you like, order whatever you want, don’t hold back, feel free to order anything."
Ye Anxin didn’t hold back either, smiled, took the nu, looked through it carefully, and then ordered a few dishes she particularly liked since being pregnant. After she was done ordering, she handed the nu back to Huo Junmo for him to order.
Once both had placed their orders, Huo Junmo returned the nu to the waiter, then proactively poured a cup of tea for Ye Anxin.
"Thank you!" Ye Anxin politely thanked him, then picked up the tea and took a sip.
After chatting with Uncle, her throat did feel dry, so after downing a cup of tea, she instantly felt much better.
Without waiting for Ye Anxin to speak, Huo Junmo eagerly asked, "Little sister-in-law, you said you wanted to discuss Yueyue’s matters with , what’s going on with her? Lately, I’ve found her acting strangely, she wouldn’t say even when I asked! I’m really worried!"
