“Didn’t Grandpa Lin’s condition get worse? How is he now? Is he feeling better?”
Baffled by Shi Yao’s questions, the driver stammered, “I-I guess?”
I guess? What kind of answer is that?
Shi Yao frowned. “Didn’t you say that Auntie Sun called you earlier? Didn’t she update you?”
While she spoke, she reached for the phone in her bag. “I’ll call Auntie Sun then…”
“Don’t!” Horrified, the driver hurriedly stomped on the brake and turned to Shi Yao.
After seeing the driver look like he was about to snatch her phone, Shi Yao’s frown deepened.
Facing Shi Yao’s expression, the driver also noticed that his reaction might have been too violent, so he quickly smiled. “That’s not it, Miss Shi. What I mean is that it’s not a convenient time for you to call Auntie Sun. Think about it, Auntie Sun is currently accompanying Old Master Lin in the hospital, and she is also bound to be tired after busying herself for the entire day. If you called her now, not only will you disturb Auntie Sun, you might even wake up Old Master Lin as well…”
“…Besides, since Auntie Sun took the effort to call, it means that Old Master Lin must be fine. Otherwise, how could she have the time to contact me?”
Shi Yao felt that there was something weird about the driver, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly either.
She stared at her phone for a while, and eventually, she decided that his explanation did make sense. Thus, she put away her phone and said, “You’re right, it’s already late. Since Grandpa Lin has retired for the night, I’ll have to trouble you to send me back to my campus then.”
The driver secretly wiped away the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead before stepping on the accelerator.
Barely after the car advanced another dozen meters or so, Shi Yao suddenly thought of something and remarked, “It just so happens that I don’t have any lessons tomorrow afternoon, so I can make use of the opportunity to pay Grandpa a visit.”
The driver’s heart skipped a beat after hearing that, and his foot on the accelerator slipped, causing the entire car to jerk forward for a brief instant.
Arriving at G University, Shi Yao had the driver drop her off at the campus entrance instead of the dormitory.
A mere second after she stepped through the campus entrance, the driver picked up his phone and made a call.
The call was swiftly picked up, and Lin Jiage’s leisurely tone could be heard from the other side, “Is the matter settled?”
“Yes, Young Master. It’s all settled…”
Before the driver could finish his report, Lin Jiage, who was in the middle of playing his game, had already hung up the phone.
The driver tried to call again, but only received a message saying that the call he had just made wasn’t within the service region.
The driver tried three more times, but the same system message popped up each time, so he could only give up and drive away.
On the way, the driver thought, ” Young Master, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you about this matter, it’s just that you didn’t give me an opportunity to tell you. Miss Shi said that she wanted to visit the hospital tomorrow, and if she meets Old Master Lin and Auntie Sun, your lies today will be exposed. I can only pray for the best… ”
…
He Tiantian, Leng Nuan, and Jiang Yue had probably gone out to play and hadn’t returned yet, so Shi Yao was the only one in the dormitory.
After opening a bottle of yogurt, she habitually tapped into the [Sexy and Frisky] WeChat group, a straw between her lips.
As expected, someone had @’d her to play.
Shi Yao popped out. [Are you all still playing?]
About ten minutes later, [Expert of the Monkeys] @’d her: [We just finished a match. Sis Yao, hurry up and join us.]
Shi Yao quickly went online.
[Juice] was the one who invited her. After tapping in, she immediately wanted to ask, “Did you get a chicken dinner today?”
But as the words were about to escape from her lips, she abruptly shut her mouth tight.
The person who had disappeared for an entire week, [111111], had reappeared…
