Chapter 72 - Seen it All

Since Ye Xuan wasn’t going to work in the afternoon, he naturally had to call his wife to let her know he was taking time off, so he dialed Lin Tong’s number.

“Hello, honey, I’m taking the afternoon off.”

“Why are you taking time off if nothing’s wrong?” Lin Tong’s cold yet melodious voice came through the phone.

“I’ve been invited to a friend’s house for dinner!”

“Invited to dinner?”

“Of course, it’s because your husband is so handsome and irresistibly charming that they invited me over for dinner!”

Ye Xuan was running his mouth, bluffing without a draft.

“Go die!!!”

Even without seeing her, Ye Xuan could guess Lin Tong had rolled her eyes at him.

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, “Actually, I helped their family out, so they want to thank me by inviting me for a meal.”

“Okay, then you go.

There’s nothing much going on at the company anyway, just remember to tell Manager Su from the HR department.”

Lin Tong hung up the phone and sent Ye Xuan Su Yumo’s mobile number.

Do I really have to talk to that fierce lady?

Ye Xuan muttered to himself and then dialed Su Yumo’s number.

“Hello, who is this?”

Over the phone came Su Yumo’s characteristically aloof voice.

“It’s me, Ye Xuan.

I’m taking the afternoon off, the CEO told me to inform you,” Ye Xuan said indifferently.

“If you take more than an hour off, one day’s salary will be deducted, half a day off will cost double!”

This woman’s heart is too harsh.

Ye Xuan curled his lips and said, “Manager Su, you do know that the wages of migrant workers can’t be withheld, right?

Are you feeling itchy again?”

“What did you say!”

Su Yumo almost went crazy.

This damned idiot, always saying the wrong thing!

If she could see Ye Xuan’s face at that moment, Su Yumo swore she would twist his face round and flat, then stomp on it furiously.

Snap!

Ye Xuan smiled and promptly hung up the phone.

“This bastard son of a bitch!

He dared hang up on me?”

That afternoon, from the HR department’s office, a ferocious roar shook the premises.

In the afternoon, the Lu Miaochan family were doing housework, and then Wu Xiangjun and daughter went out to buy groceries, sorting them in the kitchen after bringing them back.

Ye Xuan, having nothing else to do, also helped them with the chores.

The afternoon quickly passed, and in no time, it was dinner.

“Little Ye, dinner’s ready.

Let’s eat without waiting for that girl.”

Wu Xiangjun had set the table, and Lu Zhengguo brought over a bottle of fine wine, filling up glasses for Ye Xuan and himself.

“Eh, Little Ye, what’s wrong?

Don’t you like the food Auntie cooked?”

Wu Xiangjun couldn’t help but ask.

“Ah…

no, Auntie, your cooking is really delicious, even better than what five-star chefs have made.”

Ye Xuan was embarrassed!

“Hehe, this kid really knows how to talk.

If it’s delicious, eat more.

Here, try this braised pork ribs, it’s one of Auntie’s specialties!”

Everyone likes compliments, and Wu Xiangjun’s face beamed with joy, beckoning Ye Xuan to start eating:

“Little Ye, you should consider this place your home from now on, don’t be shy…

This Dongpo pork is Miaochan’s favorite, try some!”

Feeling Wu Xiangjun’s warm hospitality, Ye Xuan felt embarrassed and started eating enthusiastically.

“Come on, Little Ye, let’s have another toast!”

Lu Zhengguo was flushed and cheerfully raised his glass, clinking it against Ye Xuan’s.

Seeing Ye Xuan down the drink in one gulp, Lu Zhengguo’s face showed a look of admiration.

A man should be able to drink, especially liquor!

It was rare to encounter a young man who matched his personality and could drink with him.

Lu Zhengguo was very happy, and he took a big swig, his face turning instantly redder.

“Zhengguo, you’ve only just recovered today, drink less,” Wu Xiangjun frowned.

“I’m happy today, and since Little Lin is here, let’s drink.

Don’t fuss about it.”

Lu Zhengguo waved his hand and continued eating with his chopsticks.

Wu Xiangjun was somewhat helpless, watching the two men clinking glasses and boasting.

Especially Lu Zhengguo, who was so tipsy his words slurred, even sharing his experience with Ye Xuan on how he had wooed Miaochan’s mother and advising Ye Xuan to seize the opportunity and win over his daughter!

Watching her husband acting in such an unrespectable manner, Wu Xiangjun really couldn’t stand it anymore.

Just as she was about to stand up and intervene, Lu Zhengguo’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out drunk!

Ye Xuan wasn’t affected at all; this amount of alcohol was nothing to him, but he needed to use the restroom urgently.

“Auntie, I need to use the toilet.”

After saying that, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Wu Xiangjun, on the other hand, helped the drunken Lu Zhengguo to the bedroom.
