As the cabin was quiet, and because Rosiley was close to the phone, she heard Xiaoxiao’s frustrated tone through the speaker.
Rosiley could not help but laugh. Xiaoxiao seemed to be complaining coyly instead.
Hearing Rosiley’s laughter, Corey was a little embarrassed. He quickly spoke to the girl at the other end, saying, “I am driving. Do you have any urgent matters? If not, I will hang up.”
“Corey, don’t you dare hang up!”
Ying Xiaoxiao’s roar penetrated Corey’s eardrums, almost breaking them apart.
He quickly moved the phone further from his ears. At this point of time, he saw his sister-in-law laughing.
Corey was speechless.
The situation seemed to have become awkward.
Hence, Corey coughed a little before saying with a patient tone, “I shall not hang up. Talk to me and let me know what happened?”
There was silence on the other side. After a while, Ying Xiaoxiao’s voice rang again. “I will treat you to lunch. Fetch me at my house later.”
“Why?” Corey knew that something was wrong when she wanted to treat him to a meal.
“It’s nothing, I just want to treat you. I will see you at my house at 11am.”
After speaking, she hung up before Corey could reject her.
“Damn it! What exactly does she mean?” Corey thought that he was being fooled.
Beside him, Rosiley patted his shoulders. “I have sympathy for you.”
“sister-in-law…” Corey suddenly turned around and complained pitifully. “sister-in-law, help me tell her that I won’t be free.”
“Nope!” Rosiley rejected him directly. “I don’t want to be scolded by Xiaoxiao.”
“Why would she scold you? You are her best friend, she wouldn’t dare to scold you!”
“Corey, couldn’t you tell that Xiaoxiao was in a bad mood? How could I provoke her now?”
“She was in a bad mood?” Corey frowned. “Why?”
“Perhaps it’s related to the blind date yesterday.” Rosiley guessed before giving genuine advice, “since Xiaoxiao is in a bad mood, you should just accompany and pacify her.”
Corey pursed his lips before agreeing reluctantly.
…
Ying Xiaoxiao’s mood was indeed terrible.
After the blind date yesterday, she was extremely gloomy and frustrated. She went to the bar to relax before returning home to sleep at midnight.
However, she hadn’t expected to be scolded by her mother when she woke up in the morning and went to eat breakfast downstairs.
“Why did you do that yesterday?” Father Ying scolded her.
Ying Xiaoxiao had a hangover and was not completely sober. She only reacted after a while and said, “What do you mean?”
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Father Ying flared up in anger. He slammed the table with force as he chided Ying Xiaoxiao angrily.
His loud scream made Ying Xiaoxiao sober up.
Seeing the furious Father Ying, she quickly smiled patronizingly. “Dad, there is no need to be angry. It would be terrible if you got high blood pressure.”
“Ha!” Father Ying smirked. “If you were really worried about my blood pressure, you wouldn’t have done such a thing to anger me.”
Ying Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and asked, “Dad, are you referring to the blind date yesterday?”
“What else could this be about? What else could make me so angry?”
“Dad, I didn’t do anything wrong!” Ying Xiaoxiao was still confused as to why her father was mad.
“How dare you talk back to me!” Father Ying shouted.
Ying Xiaoxiao was immediately defeated. “Alright, I was wrong.”
