Chapter 1722: Chapter 1723: The One Seeking Shelter
Cheng Su hung up the phone, feeling a bit puzzled, and thought Qi Taiguo’s call was a bit odd this time, he even told her to be careful when going out.
“Was it Taiguo calling?” Mother Cheng asked while beating the egg.
Cheng Su said it was.
“What did he say?”
“Not much, just some casual conversation,” Cheng Su smiled and replied.
Mother Cheng then said, “It’s easier to stay in touch now; even though he’s gone so far away, with this telephone, he can call back to talk, it feels like he’s not that far. Back then, we didn’t have such things, we had to rely on letters, and they might not even be received.”
“That’s right. In the future, it will be even more convenient; you can use a mobile phone to speak face-to-face, you can see the person!” Cheng Su laughed.
“Really?” Mother Cheng was surprised and looked at her in wonder: “How do you know there will be?”
“Oh, I saw people abroad doing it,” Cheng Su lied without blushing.
Mother Cheng actually believed it, praising, “Then abroad must be even more convenient!”
Cheng Su secretly laughed and started teasing her son.
At this moment, the door was knocked.
“Who is it?” Cheng Su asked while opening the door, she was stunned: “Oh, you’re here?”
The visitor was Liu Wenjing, carrying her little son. When she saw her, her eyes reddened, and she timidly asked, “Cousin, can I come in?”
Her hair was slightly messy, and she was holding a red plastic bag with a few small apples or other fruits inside, looking a bit pitiful and uneasy.
“Come on in,” Cheng Su quickly stepped aside.
Qi Xiaoqi was sitting in the walker, seeing Liu Wenjing, tilting his head and looking at her with wide eyes.
“Xiao Qi has grown up again.” Liu Wenjing stroked Qi Xiaoqi’s head, took an apple out of the bag and put it in his walker: “For you to eat.”
“Just come and sit, there’s no need to bring anything,” Cheng Su said with a smile: “I’ll wash it first before giving it to him, now that he’s teething, he bites everything.”
Saying this, she took the apple to wash it and then put it in the walker for her son to play with.
Mother Cheng also came out from the kitchen, looked at Liu Wenjing, and smiled: “Is it Xiao Qi’s aunt coming?”
“Yes, aunty, you’re busy.” Liu Wenjing smiled.
“Oh, just about to cook dinner.”
“Why not stay for dinner tonight, Mom, cook another cup of rice,” Cheng Su looked at the time and said to Mother Cheng.
“Alright, alright.”
Liu Wenjing felt a bit embarrassed and said: “I’m lacking manners, coming at this time, troubling you with your busy schedule.”
“We are family, you can come anytime, there’s no schedule. Don’t worry, come and play if you have free time. Now that your cousin is in Zhu City, I’m often home taking care of the kids,” Cheng Su said with a smile and asked, “But why didn’t you bring Gou Sheng?”
Liu Wenjing’s eyes darkened and said: “His grandmother is taking care of him!” Then she lowered her head.
Cheng Su saw this and knew there must be a story behind it, so she poured her a cup of tea and said: “What’s wrong?”
Liu Wenjing’s eyes reddened, and tears spilled out, wiping them with the back of her hand, she said: “Cousin, I… I really had nowhere to go, that’s why I came at this time, and…” she hesitated for a long time, then bit her lip and blushed: “Could I stay here for one night?”
Cheng Su was surprised, coming to ask for a place to stay?
“Did you have a fight with Aunt?” Cheng Su was smart and after thinking for a moment, got to the heart of it.
Liu Wenjing nodded: “She cursed me as something worse than a chicken. I couldn’t stand it, talked back a bit, and she drove me out. I had no choice but to come out with Er Bao.”
