It’s Xia Hongyao!
Click to answer.
"Ho yet?"
On the screen, a high ponytail is standing in front of a filing cabinet, looking for sothing.
"Yes!"
Lin Baici frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Overti, writing a report!"
Xia Hongyao looked troubled: "My sister said this report needs to be submitted to headquarters, can’t fudge it like before, it’s stressing out!"
"Ask Qingqiu for help!"
"I did, Qingqiu said I should write it myself, like a review, to train my brain!"
Xia Hongyao was not convinced: "Though I’m not as sharp as Hols, my brain is stronger than most, does it really need training?"
"Do you know what the big shots in the group call ?"
"Great Detective Xia!"
"Haha!"
Lin Baici couldn’t help but laugh, where do you get the confidence to say you’re smarter than most people?
"Hey, found it!"
As Xia Hongyao spoke, she stuffed her phone into the bear, reaching for the topmost docunt in the cabinet.
Lin Baici watched as the screen turned white, the cara shook about, and felt a wave of sweat.
Is that really a place to keep a phone?
Or are you showing off your Xiong Da?
After over ten seconds, the phone saw daylight again.
"Knowing you’re ho safe, I feel relieved."
Xia Hongyao scratched her hair: "No more chatting, I’ll finish the report as soon as I can and co find you!"
"You’re not heading straight to Hong Kong Island?"
Lin Baici was surprised.
"We’re a dynamic duo, of course, we move together!"
"Alright, alright, stop using idioms incorrectly!"
After a couple more exchanges, Lin Baici hung up the video and found his mom watching him.
"Your... friend?"
Li Guiru initially thought about asking if it was a classmate, but hearing words like overti and report, usually students don’t work extra hours, right?
"Good friend!"
Lin Baici added an extra word.
They hadn’t seen each other for a year, plenty to talk about, but before long, Lin Baici’s phone rang again.
It’s Ji Xinyan!
Lin Baici quickly got up and went to the bedroom.
This conversation shouldn’t be heard by mom!
"I just got ho, checked out the house, it’s great, can buy it!"
Ji Xinyan reported.
"Then buy it!"
Lin Baici trusted Ji Xinyan’s judgnt: "I’ll transfer the money to you now!"
"Suddenly feel like a housekeeper, huh!"
Ji Xinyan chuckled: "There is a catch though, the property transfer requires your signature on the deed, so you’ll need to co back!"
"I won’t go back, sign under your na!"
"What?"
Ji Xinyan was stunned, she thought Lin Baici wanted her to look at the house due to concerns it wouldn’t be worth purchasing. Now that it’s worth it, why isn’t he coming back?
"Sign your na!"
Lin Baici repeated.
"Then the house will be mine!"
Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes: "Over ten million, aren’t you worried I won’t give it back?"
"No problem, I’ll steal you and the house back together when the ti cos!"
Lin Baici joked.
"Get lost!"
Ji Xinyan laughed and cursed: "Seriously, are you really not coming back?"
"Yep!"
A property worth over ten million isn’t worth a trip.
"Alright, I’ll do my best, but no promises it’ll be smooth!"
This ans the return date might be delayed at least a week, but Ji Xinyan didn’t mind running errands for Lin Baici.
"You’ve had a long day, go and rest, it’s okay if the house isn’t bought, don’t overexert yourself!"
Lin Baici now has substantial wealth and does not have an urgent need for money.
"Yeah, I’m going to take a shower!"
"Bye-bye!"
Lin Baici returned to the living room and found his mom watching him.
"Girlfriend?"
If not, why avoid ?
"Uh..."
Lin Baici didn’t know how to respond.
Li Guiru didn’t want her son to feel awkward, so she changed the topic, but within a few minutes, Lin Baici’s phone rang again.
It’s the boss lady!
Compared to Ji Xinyan, this one was even more heavyweight, Lin Baici certainly couldn’t let his mom overhear this conversation.
If the boss lady dresses scantily or says sothing shocking, he’d face social death right in front of his mom.
So Lin Baici went back to the bedroom.
Once the video connected.
Being cautious turned out to be wise.
The boss lady wore a nightgown and because the belt was tied carelessly, the front was a bit loose, revealing a lot of skin.
"Ho yet?"
The boss lady sipped red wine: "Can I see the ho you grew up in?"
"So other day!"
Lin Baici didn’t dare go out; what if his mom starts asking?
"Is your sister ho? Should I greet her?"
The boss lady inquired.
"Sister?"
Lin Baici was montarily confused, then it dawned on him that Nangong Shu must be referring to his mom, which gave him a headache.
Aunt Shu, what are you up to?
"Haha, scared you huh?"
Nangong Shu laughed heartily: "Just kidding!"
"Alright, I know my status makes contact inconvenient, so let’s not be in touch for now!"
Nangong Shu winked: "But when you return for sumr break, you’d better make it up to big ti!"
"Okay!"
After dealing with the boss lady, Lin Baici breathed a sigh of relief.
Good news, bad news.
The good news is, this sumr break, he’s safe, the bad news is, after school starts, he might get drained by the boss lady.
Lin Baici ca out and just sat down when mom spoke.
"That one earlier, not the sa girl?"
Li Guiru wasn’t sure but seeing her son’s expression, confird it.
Not the sa girl.
Li Guiru had raised Lin Baici for 19 years, knew him inside out.
"Girlfriend?"
The son didn’t admit earlier, but this one, probably is, right?
"No!"
Lin Baici answered firmly.
Because the boss lady said he doesn’t have to take responsibility.
"Then why did you hide in the room?"
