Chapter 538 Wenbin Got Tricked (2)
Shangguan Wenbin looked at the disconnected call, hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t send his account number to Mu Qiancheng. Not only that, he also decided to talk to Jiang Xue about Mu Qiancheng’s private money.
So, he dialed Jiang Xue’s number. However, he didn’t know that Jiang Xue was busy in the kitchen, and the phone wasn’t near her.
Mu Qiancheng had just hung up on Shangguan Wenbin’s call when he heard Jiang Xue’s phone ringing. So, he picked up the phone to check and saw that the caller ID showed Shangguan Wenbin.
And so, his eyes flickered, and then he took the phone to the kitchen.
"Xue’er, it’s your phone, a call from Wenbin." Mu Qiancheng said as he handed the phone to Jiang Xue. At this moment, Jiang Xue was washing vegetables and was not convenient to answer the phone, so after glancing at it, she said to Mu Qiancheng, "Could you answer it for me?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiancheng’s smile grew even brighter. He reached out and pressed the answer button, and then gently said, ’Hello’.
Hearing Mu Qiancheng’s voice, Shangguan Wenbin’s face instantly showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He took down the phone to have a look.
Yes, it was indeed Jiang Xue’s phone number. How come Mu Qiancheng answered it?
Could it be that Mu Qiancheng was still at home and hadn’t returned to the base?
"Dear cousin, why aren’t you speaking?" Just as Shangguan Wenbin was staring at the phone in a daze, Mu Qiancheng’s voice came through again, with a teasing tone.
"Sis, brother-in-law, why is it you? Where is my sister?" Shangguan Wenbin snapped back to reality and asked a bit awkwardly.
He wanted to complain about Mu Qiancheng to Jiang Xue, but why was Mu Qiancheng the one who answered the phone? Luckily, he didn’t start complaining right away, otherwise, he’d be done for.
"Your sister is washing vegetables. You can tell me, and I’ll pass on the message to her." Mu Qiancheng said with an increasingly wide smile.
He had just hung up the phone when Shangguan Wenbin called Jiang Xue. He didn’t need to guess to know what the other party wanted to do. However, the other party picked the wrong time, otherwise, he might have been able to complain to Jiang Xue by now.
Even though he didn’t think there was anything worth complaining about, nor was he planning to hide anything from Jiang Xue, Shangguan Wenbin’s behavior still made him slightly displeased.
Since he was displeased, then the culprit also couldn’t get away easily, right?
"No, no need, I’ll contact her later." Shangguan Wenbin dared not say anything more, quickly hanging up the phone.
Though it was just a phone call, cold sweat still appeared on his forehead. For some reason, even though he didn’t see Mu Qiancheng, he could still feel the pressure coming from the other end of the line.
At this moment, Shangguan Wenbin regretted calling Jiang Xue at this time. However, the call had already been made, and regretting was useless.
He could only hope that Mu Qiancheng wouldn’t be too petty and could graciously let him off the hook.
However, what Shangguan Wenbin didn’t know was that Mu Qiancheng wasn’t a magnanimous person, especially towards those disobedient people who tried to complain about him.
So, at this moment, he was giving Jiang Xue a negative impression of Shangguan Wenbin.
"What did Wenbin say?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile as she saw Mu Qiancheng hanging up the phone.
"Xue’er, Wenbin said he’s a bit tight on money recently and asked us to return the money we borrowed for the car." Mu Qiancheng lied so easily, it didn’t require a draft.
But Jiang Xue, upon hearing this, was slightly taken aback, with a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She remembered that she wanted to give Shangguan Wenbin money yesterday, but he refused.
How, after just one day, could he say he’s short on money, unless something happened?
