Chapter 16: Chu’s Mother Wants to Drive Ye Fan Away
Back to the villa.
Chu Mengyao's phone rang. Seeing it was her mother calling, she quickly answered it.
"Mom, what's up?" Chu Mengyao's voice was still as cold as ice.
"Can't I call if there's nothing? It's been months and you haven't even made one call home. Do you still consider me your mother?" Chu's mother began to lecture with dissatisfaction.
"I'm just really busy. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Chu Mengyao seemed inept at communicating with her mother and had nothing more to say.
"Don't hang up. I have something to tell you. Why did I have a daughter like you who hangs up on me at every turn? I'm your real mother, not a stepmother. Is this how you treat me?" Chu's mother's voice carried blame and resentment.
Chu Mengyao tried to make her voice sound kinder, incredibly patient as she said, "Mom, I'm eating well, living well, and the company's issues are resolved. You don't need to worry about me. If you have something to say, say it quickly. I have some matters to attend to, so I won't chat for long. I'll visit you when I have time soon."
"I heard you brought a man into the villa. Tell me, is this true?" Chu's mother asked sternly.
"He's just a friend." Chu Mengyao's expression turned cold, pondering with discontent. It wasn't possible for her mother to know about Ye Fan being at the villa so quickly; someone must have leaked it behind her back. She coldly asked, "Who told you there was a man in my villa?"
