Liu Xinmin pursed her lips at Lu Yinbing.
Xia Yitong doesn't need to know how to use the somersault cloud, she has a transoceanic phone. Thanks to the great technology, a thousand miles are just a stone's throw away.
Lu Yinbing: “…”
The phone kept ringing, but Lu Yinbing didn't answer it. Liu Xinmin said, "Why are you still standing there? Are you going to ascend?"
Lu Yinbing glanced at the phone and said, "You answer it."
Liu Xinmin threw the phone into her arms and said, "I won't answer it."
Lu Yinbing hurriedly caught the phone, fearing that he might accidentally drop it: "You are an adult now, can you just throw your phone away?"
Liu Xinmin snorted: "At worst I can just buy a new one."
Lu Yinbing choked.
Just as the two of them were trying to pass the buck to each other, the phone's ringing timed out and it stopped automatically. The two looked at each other, Liu Xinmin shrugged, and Lu Yinbing's eyes flashed with a trace of annoyance.
Less than a minute later, Liu Xinmin's phone rang again, and it was Xia Yitong's number. This time, without waiting for her mother to urge her, Lu Yinbing had already pressed the answer button, and also pressed the speakerphone, and then quickly threw the phone back into her mother's arms.
Xia Yitong: "Hello, Auntie."
Ah, that sounds so nice.
Lu Yinbing pointed at Liu Xinmin and whispered, "I called you, but you didn't say anything. You have no manners at all."
Liu Xinmin glanced at this troublesome daughter calmly, and Lu Yinbing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. At the same time, a word came to his mind: old... cunning... cunning...
As expected, Liu Xinmin said, "Hello, Lu Yinbing is next to me now."
Suddenly, the phone started to make a sound: "Beep, beep, beep—beep, beep—"
Lu Yinbing: “…”
Liu Xinmin: “…”
Xia Yitong didn't know what was wrong with her, she hung up the phone subconsciously, and regretted it right after she finished flirting. Why is her hand so cheap!
While hesitating whether to dial again, the phone in my hand started vibrating.
Xia Yitong answered immediately: "Auntie, I—"
"What aunt? Who is your aunt?" Lu Yinbing's signature way of speaking came to the fore.
Xia Yitong was stunned for a moment, then she was overjoyed: "No—"
Lu Yinbing: "No, what do you mean by no? What does it mean that you hang up the phone as soon as you hear me?"
Xia Yitong was so beautiful that she almost lost herself in it. Lu Yinbing's slightly angry tone was nothing to her: "I'm not—"
"What's not? You still dare to hang up on me?" Lu Yinbing said, "You have to book the earliest flight and fly over to see me right away. Bye!"
Lu Yinbing hung up the phone decisively.
Liu Xinmin was stunned.
This was the first time that Liu Xinmin had seen someone who could act so unreasonable so naturally that others couldn't tell there was anything wrong with it. Is this the power of a movie queen
Lu Yinbing still bared his teeth at her, this time with joy, "Mom, am I awesome?"
Liu Xinmin swallowed her saliva and said, "Bu'er, with your personality, why haven't you been beaten to death yet?"
Lu Yinbing spread his hands: "I'm spoiled, there's nothing I can do about it."
Liu Xinmin raised her hand: "Shall I pamper you too?"
Lu Yinbing jumped back nimbly, away from Liu Xinmin's attack range, "You are old, you should just take a good rest. I won't bother you."
Liu Xinmin chased after him.
Lu Yinbing ran away.
Liu Xinmin shouted from behind: "Give my phone back to me!"
Lu Yinbing put his cell phone on the coffee table and ran upstairs.
Xia Yitong was in a daze listening to the busy tone on her phone. She understood every word Lu Yinbing said, but it was a little hard to understand what they meant when they were put together. She stared blankly for about three minutes before she slowly rolled her eyes and extracted the main idea: flight, go over there, see her.
I twisted my arm hard and it hurt so much. It wasn't a dream.
Xia Yitong jumped up from the bed with a silly smile. When she hurried to take a shower, her toes kicked the door frame. She screamed and limped into the bathroom. She took a quick shower in no time and limped to the end. While she was washing up, she called Fang Hui and asked her to book a flight. "I'll drive to the airport myself, and you help me drive the car back. It's the gray Mercedes Benz coupe. I'll give you the keys later. We'll meet at the airport."
She fixed her makeup in front of the mirror, used her wet fingers to smooth the hair around her ears, and left the bathroom. With one hand, she took out the ID card, visa, passport and other things she needed to go abroad from the drawer, put them in a small bag, and slung it over her shoulder. With the other hand, she answered the phone: "Change me some US dollars, not too much, I can't take too much."
"Okay, then you can leave from the company and tell President Xue." Xia Yitong trotted downstairs, walking with the wind, and one foot had already stepped out of the door. "Forget it, don't go. I'll tell her directly. Please get to the airport as soon as possible. I'm in a hurry."
Xia Yitong closed the door and walked towards the garage: "No, it's still vacation time, you should take a good vacation in China."
"Ah? That's fine. If you want to travel, see if Xiaoxi is free." Xia Yitong said, "Okay, okay, then you can ask her, so that you can take care of her. Have you gone out? Did you get off the elevator? I just got to the garage, so let me tell you."
Xia Yitong opened the car door and got in. Xia Yitong backed out skillfully, adjusted the direction, stepped on the accelerator, the engine emitted a dull roar, and the coupe sped away.
"Hello, is this Aunt Xue? It's me, Xia Yitong."
"explain."
"I'm going to the United States to meet Lu Yinbing."
"Beep, beep, beep—" Xue Yao suddenly hung up Xia Yitong's phone for the second time today.
Xia Yitong laughed and turned up the volume of the car's Bluetooth a little. No more than three seconds later, Xue Yao's call came in. Xia Yitong once again discovered one of the similarities between Xue Yao and Lu Yinbing.
Xue Yao said: "I was blind just now, I didn't hear what you said clearly."
"I said..." Xia Yitong couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips, "Lu Yinbing called me and asked me to go see her."
Xue Yao: "Are you asked to go and apologize?"
Xia Yitong: "I don't know, but she asked me to go. I'm on my way to the airport now. I'll be there in 40 minutes. I'll let you know."
Xue Yao: "Oh, okay. Go ahead."
Xia Yitong: "Why do you sound a little unhappy?"
Xue Yao pulled a long face and said, "No." If you were me, you wouldn't be happy if the daughter you raised with so much effort always contacted her boyfriend instead of you.
Xia Yitong: "Teacher Lu also said on the phone that it would be great if you could go with me, but unfortunately I'm too busy with work."
Xue Yao said, "Stop lying to me." After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Did she really say that?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xia Yitong said.
Xue Yao: "Okay. Just focus on driving. If you see her, tell her for me."
Xia Yitong asked: "What to bring?"
Xue Yao: "I'm there for everything. If she wants to get back on her feet, I'll always pave the way for her. It seems a bit corny, so I won't say the last part, just 'I'm there for everything'."
Xia Yitong: "Okay."
Xue Yao said embarrassedly: "Will it be corny too?"
Xia Yitong: "It won't be as corny as me."
"That's true." Xue Yao said, "You two are so horny and numb, and I have goose bumps all over my body. I'm going to work, let me know when you get on the plane."
"OK."
Fang Hui was closer to the airport than Xia Yitong and arrived earlier than Xia Yitong. The two met outside and Fang Hui covered Xia Yitong as she went in to get the plane ticket. The two were in a hurry all the way and were recognized by sharp-eyed passers-by, which caused quite a stir. The airport security personnel and Fang Hui escorted Xia Yitong, who was surrounded by the crowd, into the VIP channel.
Many people took photos of Xia Yitong in the international terminal. Her sudden appearance here will probably be written up by the media again. Maybe they will make up another bloody drama about a woman who failed in love and traveled around the world for love.
But she didn't care anymore. Her heart had flown to the other side of the Pacific Ocean an hour ago following Lu Yinbing's phone call. Unfortunately, her body would still need nearly twenty hours of flight to arrive.
At eight o'clock the next evening, Xia Yitong arrived at the state where Lu Yinbing was. She found that she had done a stupid thing, no, not just one thing, but several things: before boarding the plane, she did not ask Lu Yinbing where her specific address was, nor did she ask if she would come to pick her up. She came here like a fool, full of passion and excitement, and did not even take an extra coat.
A short-sleeved shirt, a short long-sleeved jacket, jeans, and a hat. All kinds of IDs, credit cards, and masks were thrown into the trash can before getting off the plane. Oh, there was a thousand dollars and a mobile phone in my pocket, nothing else.
Confusion and uneasiness slowly came over her. The airport was a little cold at night. The passengers coming and going were all in a hurry and reluctant to even give her a glance.
Xia Yitong followed the crowd out of the exit and turned on his cell phone. Fortunately, it was fully charged last night, no, it should be the night before, but it was not used on the plane, so it still had more than 80% battery left.
Give Lu Yinbing a call, at least to find out where she is. It's so late now, I probably won't be able to see her today. Xia Yitong was a little depressed, and his ears drooped down, like a big, depressed dog.
The big dog, with his head drooping, found a pillar away from the crowd to lean against, found Lu Yinbing's number on his mobile phone, and remembered that Lu Yinbing must not use that number anymore, so he dialed Liu Xinmin's number again.
"Auntie, I've landed. Where exactly are you? Is it too late for me to take a taxi there now?"
Liu Xinmin said, "Bingbing went to pick you up. Didn't you see her? She left at noon today."
"Ah?" Xia Yitong took two steps back and looked around. She immediately saw a tall figure wearing a black thin coat and a hat, with her back to her, looking out from the airport entrance. She couldn't hold back her tears and choked softly, "I saw her. Thank you, Auntie."
