Chapter 241 (1/2)
There was a moment of silence at the other end of the mobile phone, only a slight exhalation, and then came the voice of a middle-aged woman:
”Lin Yao, are you looking for me?”
This voice is very pleasant, and Lin Yao is very similar, but there is no girl's crisp, more vicissitudes and calm.
”Mom, how are you?”
Lin Yao asked softly and timidly.
There was another silence on the other end of the phone, and Haiyao replied:
”I'm fine, Lin Yao. I watch entertainment news. You... Worked hard.”
Lin Yao covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on her face:
”It's okay, mom, I'm not hard.”
After all these years, this is the first time my mother cares about her.
”If you are tired, you can come to me.”
Haiyao seemed to hesitate and said.
”Mom, I'm going home this Spring Festival. Can you go home, too?”
Lin Yao asked carefully.
It has always been her wish for the family to spend a happy Spring Festival together.
”Lin Yao, it's late. Please rest early. Good night.”
Haiyao didn't answer. After saying good night, she had to hang up.
”Mom!”
Lin Yao hurriedly said, ”there's another thing.”
”What's up?” Hai Yao asked.
”I, I... Fell in love.”
Similar to the electric current sound coming from the other end of the phone, it is the sound caused by breathing suddenly heavier and exhaling on the mobile phone microphone.
”Who is it?”
Hai Yao asked.
”His name is Fang Xiaole. He is from Dengcheng. He works in Jiangrong. He and he are very good to me...”
”Does your father know?
Haiyao suddenly asked.
”Dad, he doesn't know yet.”
Lin Yao whispered.
”Lin Yao, I'm not qualified to give advice when you're in love, but you'd better tell your father... His temper, you know.”
Haiyao's voice became serious.
”Mom, can you help me tell Dad that I'm afraid I said he would...”
”Mom, why don't you go to bed? Who's calling you so late?”
Suddenly, a young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Haiyao answered softly:
”I'll go to bed right away about work.”
”Oh, you can rest early. Good night.
”Good night.”
The girl's voice is very young and childish. It sounds like a student. She is sleepy. After yawning, there is the sound of slippers kicking and closing the door.
”Mom, it was... ”
Lin Yao felt as if she had been caught and had some difficulty breathing.
”Lin Yao, I'm sorry. I actually went through the divorce formalities with your father many years ago. In my current situation, I'm no longer qualified to say anything to your father.”
Mother's voice contained apology and guilt. Lin Yao suddenly said:
”Mom, I'm sleepy. Good night.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Lin Yao stared blankly at the mobile phone screen. There was nothing in her beautiful pupil, and her eyes lost focus.
