“Did you use my phone to send it?” Pei Song asked. At this moment, he still sounded like he was watching a show.
It was as if it had nothing to do with him.
Cao Zhuzhu checked a few more times and confirmed that it was impossible to unsend it. She slammed her phone on the table and asked instead of
answering, “when did you add my mom on WeChat(”
It was only then that she realized why she felt strange when she sent her mother a WeChat message.
That was because…that wasn’t her WeChat at all!
However, why did she not realize it before? It was because she did not expect Pei Song to have her mother’s WeChat on his phone!
Didn’t they meet for the first time the day before yesterday? When did they add each other?
If he hadn’t added her, she wouldn’t have made a mistake if she couldn’t find her in her friend list!
Countless comments flew through her mind like lightning. However, Pei Song was still calm and composed. He placed his hand on the table and said in a calm tone, “I went to the airport to pick up your mother that day. I added her for convenience.”
“It was approved by Ms. Xie,” he added after a pause.
Cao Zhuzhu: ‘
As expected of the former “number one scumbag” in A City.
His actions were really fast.
Pei Song asked again, “what did you send?”
Cao Zhuzhu sneered at him. “Ask her when she’ll be back.”
“That’s still okay.” Pei Song’s brain worked quickly. “Doesn’t your best friend live upstairs? It’s not strange for me to appear here. Just pretend like I’m asking on your behalf.”
But if that was all, Cao Zhuzhu wouldn’t have collapsed.
The point wat…
She put the phone in his hand.
Pei Song looked at it.
[ “Mom, when are you coming back?” ]
He didn’t see anything wrong the first time, but just as he was about to smile, the corners of his mouth suddenly stiffened. His gaze focused on the first word of the sentence.
Pei Song was amused.
Seeing that he was starting to get impatient, Cao Zhuzhu regained her composure. “Anyway, it’s done. You think of a way.”
Fortunately, it was Pei Song’s phone and had nothing to do with her.
Cao Zhuzhu put out the burnt cigarette butt in the ashtray, then took the bucket of ice cream that was tasteless but a pity to throw away and slowly ate it.
Pei Song looked at her smooth movements and licked his teeth.
When Xie Lingyu received the WeChat message, she was already on her way back. In at most three minutes, she appeared at the entrance of the apartment with two big bags of ingredients for hotpot.
Looking at Pei Song who opened the door for her, she revealed a polite yet awkward smile.
However, Pei Song could tell that his future mother-in-law was already looking at him as if he was a pervert.
Pei Song took the things from her hands in a natural manner. As for why he was here, he used the excuse he thought of earlier. As for that WeChat message…he braced himself and said that he had sent it to the wrong person.
Xie Lingyu asked, “is your mother coming too?” “She…” Pei Song replied, “no, I’m asking when she’s coming home.”
“Oh…” Xie Lingyu said, “then I misunderstood…”
The entire conversation was as dry as it could get.
Usually, Second Master Pei was the one who watched other people’s shows calmly. Today, it was her turn.
A quarter of the ice cream was gone in a short while.
That was strange. She had originally thought that the taste was quite ordinary, but as she ate…it ebecame delicious?
Pei Song quickly changed the topic to the leaking kitchen.
Based on Ms. Xie’s imagination of her future son-in-law, his current conditions would be estimated to be at most 50/100 points, but he could still pass if he tried hard.
However, this mistake had successfully lowered his future mother-in-law’s impression of him by another 20 points.
The matter of repairing the water was imminent.
When Xie Lingyu heard that the second master of the Pei family wanted to help, her attitude improved a little. She was very embarrassed and said that
Cao Zhuzhu was not sensible. “How can she trouble the second master of the
Pei family to help fix it?”
Pei Song moved the toolbox to the kitchen. “Don’t be so polite. It’s not a problem.”
However, Xie Lingyu still felt that it was inappropriate. “No, no, Zhuzhu, call your landlord quickly. What quality is this? I’ve only cooked for two days and it’s leaking. You can’t pay your monthly rent for nothing. Hurry up and get that evil landlord to get someone to fix it!”
Upon hearing this, Pei Song was speechless.
This time, even Cao Zhuzhu, who was leaning against the door, was speechless.
“I’m talking to you.” Xie Lingyu frowned in confusion. After a while, she said, “right. You’re a celebrity now. Give the phone to me!”
Pei Song coughed and opened the toolbox. “Don’t bother. Let me do it.”
Cao Zhuzhu quickly slipped her phone into her pocket and pushed Xie Lingyu into the kitchen. “Since he’s already here, don’t chase him away.”
“How rude,” Xie Lingyu said. “Why would I chase him away?
Cao Zhuzhu smiled. “If you think it’s too much trouble, why don’t you ask him to stay for hotpot later?”
“Ah?” Xie Lingyu actually hesitated for a moment. She had just spent a lot of money to buy a lot of good things, and she planned to give them all to her baby to nourish her body…
However, since he was her precious daughter’s friend, she shouldn’t be too stingy. Moreover, she was only inviting him. He was so busy that he might not have the time, and if he had the time, he might not even like the food of ordinary people like her.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingyu made up her mind and nodded. “Are you busy? If you’re not busy, why don’t you stay for dinner later? We’re having hotpot today…”
“Sure.” Pei Song agreed immediately. He twirled the wrench in his hand. “I’m not busy today. Hope it’s not a bother.”
“…” Xie Lingyu sighed.
Pei Song was fixing the kitchen while Xie Lingyu was washing the vegetables.
However, Cao Zhuzhu felt that this way, her mother would not be able to see how Pei Song was fixing it. She said that she would wash the vegetables, and her mother would help Pei Song with the tools.
There were two washing basins in the kitchen, and the leak was under one of the sinks.
Because of the food waste disposers, it was slightly more complicated to repair. Fortunately, the structure was simple. Pei Song knew where the problem was with a glance.
He squatted on the ground and began to fix it. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up at his wrists, revealing his strong arms. He looked really reliable.
Xie Lingyu asked, “how long will it take to repair it?”
Pei Song said, “10 minutes.”
Xie Lingyu nodded. “Then we’ll have lunch at 12 0’clock sharp.”
Pei Song said there was no problem.
In the blink of an eye, it was already 12:30.
Four ten minutes passed.
