Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 472: The Phone Doesn’t Connect

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.Ou Jue’s mother immediately lifted her head and ordered her assistant beside her, "Quick, open the door!"

The assistant hurried forward to open it and gasped, "Ah, Miss Qianmo! What happened to you?"

Qiao Qianmo was drenched in sweat, her delicate face smudged and dirty.

Her entire demeanor looked frail and exhausted.

The once-glamorous Miss Qiao, when had she ever been seen in such a disheveled state?

She raised the necklace in her hand. "Auntie, look, I got your necklace back..."

What?!

Ou Jue’s mother rushed forward in shock, her eyes immediately falling on the necklace in Qiao Qianmo’s hand.

It was unmistakable—her necklace.

The necklace she had lost!

"Momo, did you really find this?" Ou Jue’s mother exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion.

Qiao Qianmo nodded. "I searched for it the entire afternoon. Thankfully, I finally found it."

"Oh..." Overcome with joy, Ou Jue’s mother broke into tears, covering her face as she sobbed.

Only heaven knew how much that necklace meant to her.

Ou Jue’s mother quickly stepped aside, putting an arm around Qiao Qianmo’s shoulders as she led her into the hotel room. "Come, come inside. You’ve worked so hard."

"It wasn’t hard," Qiao Qianmo shook her head. "I know how important this is to you, Auntie. I had to do everything I could to find it."

Seeing Qiao Qianmo covered in sweat, her body riddled with mosquito bites, and in such a pitiful state, Ou Jue’s mother was deeply moved.

She reached out to smooth Qiao Qianmo’s hair. "Good girl, Auntie knew you were the kindest."

As she spoke, she lifted her eyes and commanded her staff, "What are you waiting for? Quickly go buy some ointment for insect bites!"

This child Momo, she was covered in mosquito bites all because she had been looking for that necklace for her.

How could she be so foolish?

"I’m fine," Qiao Qianmo shrugged nonchalantly, her smile sweet and cheerful.

Ou Jue’s mother gazed at her with a face full of warmth and gratitude.

But a thought suddenly crossed her mind, and her brows furrowed. "By the way, where is Xia Xiyan?"

When the necklace was lost, she had left in a rush and didn’t even finish her conversation with that girl.

Hearing these words, Qiao Qianmo recalled the image of Xia Xiyan still unconscious in the bushes.

Snapping back to reality, she replied, "I don’t know. I heard from a friend that after Xia Xiyan went back to the set to get her bag, she said she was tired and went back to the hotel to sleep..."

"Unbelievable!" Ou Jue’s mother slammed the table in anger. "How dare she sleep?!"

"I think so, too," Qiao Qianmo blinked innocently, adding fuel to the fire. "Honestly, Auntie, if you hadn’t gone to look for her, would the necklace have been lost? Clearly, it was all Xia Xiyan’s fault, and yet look at her attitude. She’s just relying on the fact that Brother Ou Jue likes her. She doesn’t even respect you."

Hearing Qiao Qianmo’s words, Ou Jue’s mother was even more enraged.

Never mind Susan’s daughter for now.

Even comparing Xia Xiyan to Momo, she was overwhelmingly inferior!

The staff had already returned with the ointment.

Ou Jue’s mother took it and stood up. "Come, Auntie will apply it for you."

"Thank you, Auntie," Qiao Qianmo smiled sweetly.

-

Elsewhere.

Ou Jue had just finished his meeting.

With his long legs, he stepped back into his office. Leaning back into the swivel chair by his desk, he loosened his tie with one hand.

Suddenly, he opened his cold, clear eyes and pulled out his phone to dial Xia Xiyan.

Beep... beep... beep...

The phone was stuck in a waiting-to-connect busy signal.

Ou Jue frowned slightly.

What’s going on?
