Chapter 29 - Caught red handed
Yunfeng was done with work late at night. He hurried back home after changing his clothes. But right by the door, he saw his mother waiting with a worried frown.
"Why are you outside, Mum? The weather is getting cold," he said as he walked through the gate.
She immediately shot up and ran to him. Her slightly trembling hand touched his face. "Where were you? I called you so many times, and you didn’t pick up. I thought... I thought something happened to you."
"I’m fine." Yunfeng pulled his phone out of his pocket. He had accidentally put his phone on silent, so he hadn’t noticed the calls. But seeing so many missed calls, he frowned. "Is something wrong?"
His mum’s expression eased, but soon she started to hit his back. "Where did you go? Why did you get back so late? Don’t you know it’s not safe late at night?"
His mum still didn’t know about his part-time jobs because he had been lying to her, saying it was make-up classes. But since he hadn’t been attending school due to his injury, he was caught red-handed.
"I... I was just hanging out with Jai."
She looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Don’t you dare lie to me, kid. I know you weren’t with him." She sniffed his clothes. "I smell alcohol on you. Did you drink?"
"No, no! I just served them." He shouted in a hurry, but soon realized his mistake.
