When Mother Xu was about to say something to enlighten her son, the mobile phone of Xu Chen suddenly rang.
"Mom, wait a second."
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and when he saw that the caller was actually Kai Yuan, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching up.
He guessed that she was coming to return the car keys.
When he was discharged from the hospital, he remembered that as soon as Kai Yuan went to the hospital and pulled out the key to get out of the car, she habitually threw the key into his bag.
He didn't make a sound and didn't remind her when she left, just to leave this line for her to come to him.
Mother Xu gave her snickering son a sideways glance, and immediately understood it, and turned to cook porridge.
Xu Chen cleared his throat and expelled the air in his chest before responding in a weak voice:
"Hello."
He sounded very weak, feeling that his illness was not yet healed, Kai Yuan lowered her tone and asked:
"Why did you go back so early?"
"I left after the drip, cough cough."
He coughed twice before he remembered that he had food poisoning, but Kai Yuan didn't notice that the cough was a bit weird.
"Did you go home?"
"No, I'm somewhere else now."
"Your car keys are with me."
"Will you help me drive the car?"
"Uh..."
"I'm still alone now. Very uncomfortable." He pretended to hold his forehead.
(Mother Xu: What kind of play is this and no one is even watching?)
Kai Yuan hesitated for a while before agreeing.
Xu Chen suppressed the joy in his chest and gave her the address. After hanging up the phone, Mother Xu asked, "You've been lying to her like this?"
"I'm really uncomfortable."
"But it's not that uncomfortable!"
Mother Xu sighed disapprovingly, and put the boiled porridge into the cold water together with the pot to cool down.
"How could she help me otherwise."
"But have you ever thought about what she will think when the lie is exposed? She will definitely never believe what you say, and hate you to death."
Xu Chen wanted to interrupt, Mother Xu did not give him a chance.
"You lied to her from the beginning, do you really think she has no doubts? If she is really that stupid, would you like her?"
"I am also slowly correcting it... For example, when I told her, I would think I will try my best to restore my memory, and after a period of time, if I pretend to have my memory restored, it won't be considered a lie, right?" Xu Chen defended.
"Yes, put another lie on top of another lie." Mother Xu said disapprovingly: "You better not trip one day, or be discovered by her. If you have to live such a life, I advise you to just give up or just tell her the truth."
"Didn't you just warn me that she will hate me when I tell a lie and expose it?"
"Surrendering is different from being caught in the act." Mother Xu said earnestly: "It is certain for her to be angry. You should find a way to get her forgiveness, instead of trying to use lies to avoid facing your past mistakes with her."
Xu Chen fell silent.
"I guess she will leave immediately after she delivers the keys later. She wouldn't give you any chance at all, believe it or not?"
Xu Chen dug the marble pattern on the counter with his fingers, showing hesitation.
Mother Xu gave him time to think, and without speaking, turned around and went to fry two dishes.
"Mom, the doctor said that I have an upset stomach and can't eat hard food."
"Did I say I want to fry it for you?" Mother Xu rolled her eyes.
(Xu Chen: Even my mother doesn't love me anymore.)
Ten minutes later, the intercom rang.
A walkie-talkie is linked to a camera on the ground floor, and the visitor's face can be seen.
Xu Chen walked over and directly pressed the door button.
"Come up."
The glass door next to it opened to both sides, Kai Yuan stepped in, looked left and right, and saw a guard.
She stepped forward and asked him to keep the car keys and wait for Xu Chen to come downstairs to get them.
The guard looked at the European imported car sign on the key and declined with a smile:
"Sorry, we have rules that we cannot help the residents keep valuables."
"Oh..."
Kai Yuan went upstairs as a last resort.
The two elders of the Xu family lived on the top floor, the twenty-fifth floor, with the best view.
Although it is a single family place, there are two elevators and it feels luxurious.
Kai Yuan felt like Grandma Liu who entered and exited the Grand View Garden. She looked at the seemingly expensive decorations, delicate oil paintings, and thick wall tiles by the elevator door... Guessing that this might be another house under Xu Chen, right?
Thinking of his good friends, Hu Yilin and Lai Zhuoqun, who are also the second and third generation of wealthy people, their attitude towards women is casual. She must have been out of her mind before thinking that Xu Chen really liked her.
When she arrived at the door, it was a majestic double-leafed copper door. For some reason, Kai Yuan felt a sense of oppression, which made her feel breathless.
She raised her fingertips and was about to ring the doorbell when the door suddenly opened.
Xu Chen, who was standing at the door, looked much better than in the morning, but still looked haggard.
The smell of food wafts out.
He doesn't cook.
That is, there is another woman in the house.
Is this his other love nest?
Kai Yuan suddenly felt that when he held her shoulders that day and said to her in a sincere tone, "I like you." It was ridiculous.
The anger of being teased ignited in her chest.
"Your car key." Kai Yuan, who looked very serious, handed him the car key. "The car is parked in the parking bay opposite the building."
"Thank you." Xu Chen took it. "Are you going to..."
"Goodbye."
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Chen hurriedly stopped her, who was about to turn around and leave.
"It's none of my business." She did not forget to make a special statement, "Don't come to me if you have anything in the future."
"Kai..."
"Would you like to stay for dinner?"
Mother Xu gave the most loving smile.
