  As soon as he had finished speaking, Si Jingyu shouted towards the cell phone, “Mother.”


  Upon hearing her voice, Ding Mengya suddenly said, “Wow, you do know that you should be home, right? I thought you were having so much fun overseas that you had forgotten all about your home and duty! How was it? It’s been over a month, and I couldn’t even get through to your cell phone line! Were you hiding yourself on purpose? If it weren’t for Jinyan, who assured me that you were alive time and again, I would’ve called the police and even canceled your bank account!”


  Si Jingyu coughed. “Mother, you do know that people like me, who engage in the arts, have to travel everywhere to seek inspiration, right? Moreover, aren’t I back home right now? Besides, I’m already approaching 30, what’s there to worry about?”


  “So you do know that you’re almost 30? If so, when are you planning to have a child? You travel so frequently, so be careful, your Jinyan might have an affair!”


  As soon as Ding Mengya finished speaking, Si Jingyu turned silent instantly.

  On the other hand, Shi Jinyan raised his head suddenly and glanced at Si Jingyu.

  While listening to the conversation from the side, Zhuang Nainai was bored stiff. She disliked Ding Mengya. Yet, as she was listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, she became rather confused. She didn’t know why, but she had a gut feeling that the arrogant Ding Mengya who threw a checkbook at her and forced her to leave Si Zhengting and that person talking on the cell phone from the other end seemed to be two different people.

  Zhuang Nainai immediately shook her head and abandoned this thought.

  How could they not be the same person?

  She had even admitted it!

  However, looking at it this way, no matter how bad a person is, one would still be willing to go through troubles and pains just for their children.

  At this end of the cell phone, Si Jingyu paused and said helplessly, “Mother, do you really have to curse your daughter like this?”


  “I’m not cursing you. You know about the current market situation in Beijing, so many women out there are competing for a good man. Jinyan is such an outstanding, young, and promising man, do you know how many little and young female monks are dying to take your place, you……”


  Si Jingyu became anxious all of a sudden. “Mother!”


  “Don’t blame Mother for being brutally honest, let me tell you, men aren’t any good……”


  Unable to tolerate it any longer, Shi Jinyan finally shouted, “Mother.”


  The voice from the other end of the cell phone paused all of a sudden. It seemed like she hadn’t expected the speaker mode to be switched on. Shortly after, she continued, “.…… Although men aren’t any good, Shi Jinyan is totally different. Instead, as for the two of you, I’m worried that you travel so often and end up making Jinyan a cuckold! Jingyu, you must never let Jinyan down! Oh, Jinyan is present as well, all of you must have a good meal together later! Zhengting, you must host your sister and brother-in-law properly!”


  Everyone else in the room was speechless.

  Even Butler Lee, who was standing by the side, couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders.

  Si Jingyu decisively chose to hang up the cell phone, muted it, and threw it back to Si Zhengting.

  Shortly after, the cell phone screen flashed again.

  Si Zhengting raised his brows while Si Jingyu said hastily, “Don’t answer her call. Let me tell you, she merely has nothing to do all day. After eating her fill, she becomes anxious and thinks that everyone is just like……”


  She didn’t finish her sentence, but it was obvious that they all understood what she was trying to say.

  Except for Zhuang Nainai, who was slightly puzzled.

  Si Zhengting’s lips twitched. He didn’t reply to Si Jingyu. Instead, he said, “Mother isn’t entirely wrong, you……”


  “I’ve already made plans with my friend and we plan to travel to Egypt the day after. This will certainly help me nurture my artistic side, I……”


  “The company’s new autumn and winter designs for this year are not out yet. I’ll entrust this task to you then.”
