Chapter 581 - 584: Shaocheng makes a deal with Skull Society 3_1
He pulled out a pack of hamburgers from his bag, munching it while tuning the radio to the traffic news. The phone rang. It was his mother. It was the third call he’d taken from her without showing any sign of annoyance, "Mom, I’m almost home. I’ll be there in about two hours. Don’t wait for me. Go ahead and eat."
After ending the call, he exhaled loudly and continued chewing on his hamburger and drinking mineral water.
If he had known he wasn’t going to be driving, he would have taken his brother’s helicopter, which would have gotten him home ahead of time. But that would have been too high-profile. If his old man found out he had taken a helicopter, he would surely get a good scolding, if not a good thrashing.
He rarely went home, and now that he finally did, the last thing he wanted was a drubbing from the old man as a welcome home present. So, he continued to munch on his hamburger and sip on his mineral water.
He took out his phone and dialed a number, but the phone was still switched off.
Luo Xi really was a carefree woman. Probably so engrossed in fun that she had forgotten his surname. She was like a venomous scorpion, always prone to strike at him, leaving him suffering and unable to get an antidote.
He decided to call his second brother, to send him New Year’s greetings. It was not like he had anything better to do.
The call was picked up quickly. A childish voice responded, "Hello. This is an answering machine. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep...."
Yan Fengchi was caught off guard by the response and it took him a second to register it.
Then he heard the young voice again: "Hey, I’ve been beeping for quite a while, why aren’t you leaving a message?"
Ha-ha, he recognized the voice. It was his little nephew: "Jiajia, you naughty boy, where is your dad?"
Bai Jiajia glanced at his dad, who was busy gnawing at his mom, and then at his mom, who was crying pitifully in dad’s arms, her cheeks ballooning from rage. Taking the phone, he rambled, "He made mom cry..."
"What?"
Little Jiajia continued, "That’s not the main issue, the main issue is..."
"What?"
"What kind of man, can’t even do a proper kiss. It’s so embarrassing! I have zero aspiration to know him now. Saying it out loud... it’s so disgraceful!" Little Jiajia complained, his mouth warping while the sound of coughing came from the phone, "Actually, I really didn’t want to come to Vancouver."
Yan Fengchi simultaneously wiped off the bread crumbs that had sprayed onto his passenger seat and asked, "Why is that?"
"All my little girlfriends are in Toronto. None of them are here."
"What...you have a girlfriend? More than one? How many girlfriends do you have?"
"Not too many, only three or four. Hey, I wonder if they’ll be jealous, thinking I’ve found another one."
"Cough...cough..." Yan Fengchi hurriedly ended the call, "Jiajia, I need to drive. Uncle will come to see you in a few days." Without waiting for a response, he quickly ended the call. If the conversation continued, he was sure he would burst out laughing and spit out whatever was in his mouth. This kid... Was he doing this on purpose or was he naturally funny?
Yan Fengchi stuck his head out the window, a long line of cars ahead. Who knew when it would end?
He promptly made a call, "Xi Li, where are you? Send a helicopter to pick me up... Where am I? Stuck in traffic. Don’t give me any nonsense. I’ll send the coordinates to your phone...You haven’t eaten? Perfect, come eat at my house...Hurry, I am hanging up now."
Little Jiajia looked at his mom, who was still crying in the arms of that man, let go of his hand, and dropped the phone straight into the bathtub. Showing no signs of regret for his actions, he patted his buttocks, hopped downstairs to snack on some treats.
