Chapter 239 - 241: Taking Care of Lin Qiong
Li Yifei didn’t decline, after all, he was quite good friends with Lin Qiong, and when a friend was in trouble, how could he not help? Besides, this favor was rather enticing. Whenever he was with Xu Yingying, Xu Shanshan, and Michelle, he always had some reservations, afraid of playing too hard and leaving the situation unresolved.
But it was different with Lin Qiong. Although she no longer looked down on him like before, she clearly didn’t have those kinds of feelings for him. At most, they could be considered decent friends. And when it came to relationships, Lin Qiong still very much disdained him. So no matter how much of a fuss he caused with Lin Qiong, Li Yifei wasn’t worried she would cling to him.
Just then, Lin Qiong’s phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, she whispered to Li Yifei, "It’s my mom’s call. These past few days, she’s been calling me non-stop. She even wanted you to listen, but you never caught it. It’s kind of freaking me out."
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Well, today’s a good day to chat with her and help you cover up the lie."
Lin Qiong nodded and took the call. After a couple of greetings, she handed the phone to Li Yifei, saying, "Yifei, my mom wants to speak to you."
Li Yifei took the phone and politely greeted her, then began to chat with Lin Qiong’s mother.
When it came to sweet-talking elders, Li Yifei was quite adept. He spoke endearingly and his words were pleasant to hear, making Lin Qiong’s mother very happy. Of course, regarding the specifics of buying a house, Li Yifei maintained the same story as Lin Qiong, saying they were still looking. As for the matter of getting a marriage certificate, he said he had been away on a business trip a few days ago, which was why they hadn’t gotten it yet, but they planned to pick a good day to do so soon.
"Yifei, don’t you have a computer? Let’s video chat instead. It’ll save on the phone bill."
Li Yifei promptly agreed eagerly, "Sure, I’ll get on the computer right away."
After hanging up, Lin Qiong immediately frowned and said, "Why did you agree to video chat with my mom?"
