Chapter 65: Truly an Exceptional Woman
"I just found out about this, and I haven’t had the chance to ask her how she knows He Meiwei."
"Then why don’t you hurry up and call your mom to ask?" She sat down next to him.
"Alright, I’ll call now." He put down the book, took out his phone, dialed Dragon Mother’s number, and turned on the speakerphone.
"Mom, how do you know He Meiwei?"
On the other end of the line, Dragon Mother said to him, "I met her by chance on the mountain where people go to pray for blessings. Look at you, after all, she was with you once. You helped her find a donor and paid for the surgery, so why not help with the medical expenses? She can’t even afford medicine now. I really feel sorry for her. If she hadn’t broken up with you back then, she might be your wife now. I offered to cover her medical expenses, but she wouldn’t let me. This girl is really good, not only sensible but also empathetic."
Long Yubei and Gu Lili exchanged glances, and the latter snatched the phone, "Mom speaks so highly of her, it seems I really should learn from her."
Hearing her voice, Dragon Mother’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that her words had been overheard.
Somewhat mortified, and already disliking Gu Lili, Dragon Mother spoke with little courtesy, "You really should learn from her. If you became Yu Bei’s wife, it’s only because someone else planted the tree and you’re just enjoying the shade."
"Planted the tree? What tree? Yu Bei never touched her while they were together, and she was the one who initiated the breakup. The only reason Yu Bei helped her find a donor was that there were hidden circumstances. Isn’t that enough? Mom, whether you arrange her a job in the company or give her medical expenses, please don’t do it in Yu Bei’s name. This has nothing to do with him. If I find out that she’s coming around to demean herself before us, I will definitely not be kind-hearted or soft-handed towards her."
After tossing the phone back to Long Yubei, she got up and walked away without listening to any response from Dragon Mother.
"You..." Dragon Mother was furious, "Who do you think you’re talking to!"
"Mom," Long Yubei said sternly, "It really was none of your business."
