The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 557 - 300_3

Wenyan said, "It’s Big Brother! Just as we were talking about him, Big Brother’s call came in."

"He probably saw the stuff I took over," Su Yang explained, "When I went to the group earlier, your big brother was in a meeting, which was supposed to end in five minutes, so I waited in his office for a while. But the meeting didn’t end even after almost twenty minutes, so I came over first."

"I see. Mom, you better answer the phone then."

There was no one else around, and Su Yang still wanted to eat dessert, so she simply turned on the speakerphone.

As soon as the call connected, Shen Jingxiu’s voice rang out.

"Mom, I heard the secretary say you were looking for me just now, what’s the matter?"

"Yes, didn’t your secretary tell you? I brought you some afternoon tea pastries. I left them on your office desk, didn’t you see them?"

No sooner had Su Yang finished speaking than the sound of rustling paper bags came from the other end of the line, clearly indicating that Shen Jingxiu had received the treats Su Yang had specifically delivered.

"I saw them, but was it just to deliver desserts?"

"That’s right, you find it strange, huh? Don’t overthink things. I was planning to have a chat with you, but then I came over to your sister’s place again."

Su Yang had just finished her sentence when Wenyan immediately took the initiative to greet Shen Jingxiu on the other end of the phone.

"Big Brother! This is Wenyan, Mom and I have started eating, so you should start too."

"Alright."

"I hear the sound of you moving a chair. Are you sitting down now?" freewebnσvel.cøm

"Yes."

Although Shen Jingxiu replied with only two words, Wenyan somehow felt he must have chuckled softly just now.

"So now you must have moved the keyboard and mouse in front of your computer to the side to make room for the desserts, right?"

This time, Shen Jingxiu laughed out loud: "How can your ears be so sharp?"

It was the first time he realized that talking on the phone could be this interesting.

"Of course, after all, I have plenty of experience in unwrapping takeaways at the computer desk. That routine is a must!"

Shen Jingxiu: "Hm? What did you say?"

It wasn’t only Shen Jingxiu who was puzzled; Su Yang, who was sitting next to Wenyan, also felt strange.

"Since when do you frequently eat takeaways at your computer desk? Don’t you like the food cooked in the kitchen?"

"...No, that’s not it," Wenyan had blurted out without thinking and said something wrong, "I really like the meals at home. The experience I mentioned was accumulated during my time at university. That’s right, I often ordered takeaways because I was too lazy to go to the cafeteria."

Su Yang: "I see."

"Yes, that’s it." Wenyan quickly changed the subject and turned to ask Qin Yulong, "Yulong, are you done yet, do you need my help?"

"No need, it’s done now."

No sooner had she spoken than Qin Yulong brought over three cups of tea.

"Mom, this is yours. Yours, Wenyan."

"Thank you!"

Shen Jingxiu, upon hearing Qin Yulong’s voice from the phone, suddenly asked:

"Wenyan, Yulong, are you two coming home tonight?"

"We are, what’s up?" Wenyan asked, "Do you need us for something?"

"Yeah, there’s a little matter. Since you’re both coming back, we’ll talk about it when we meet tonight."

No sooner had they settled this than the sound of a ringing phone came from Shen Jingxiu’s end, and he had to end the call.

In the evening, they all returned to the Shen Family villa.

After dinner, Shen Jingxiu invited Wenyan and Qin Yulong to his study.

"Have a seat wherever you like." Shen Jingxiu rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt, and after Wenyan sat down, he chose the seat directly facing her.

This time, it was Qin Yulong who started the conversation: "Big Brother, did you call both of us together to talk about work?"

"Exactly." The question had come from Qin Yulong, but Shen Jingxiu couldn’t help but glance at Wenyan first before setting his gaze upon Qin Yulong’s face.

"It’s about the negative hot search about Wenyan on the internet these past few days." At this point, Shen Jingxiu slightly furrowed his brows, "I don’t quite understand. In the past, Wenyan wasn’t signed with any agency, had no studio or agent, and didn’t let the family get involved, almost fighting alone."

"But now you’re operating an entertainment company of your own. Why are you still allowing such harmful online comments about her to fester? Have you encountered some work issue? Is the company restructure not yet on track?"

"If you’ve come across any problems that are hard to solve, you can come to me anytime."

Qin Yulong lifted an eyebrow slightly, her tone assured: "No."
