Chapter 1140: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (225)

Xu Chengfeng’s handsome eyebrows moved slightly.”

“My mom called. What should I do? What should I say? Does she know?”

Xu Chengfeng glanced at her phone.””I’ll do what I have to do. I’ll let her know about my relationship with the Xu family when the time is right.”

“So I can’t tell my mom now, right?”

Xu Chengfeng only raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he could do whatever she wanted.

Was he going to leave her alone after telling her the truth?

She might as well not know anything.

Zuo Yue looked at her phone again. If she didn’t answer it, her mother would probably be worried. She could only pat her chest that was choked and uncomfortable. She got up and picked up her phone to answer the call.

As soon as he picked up, Xu Yuan’s voice came through.”Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Working overtime?”

“No, just now…I’m having dinner with my friends, so I didn’t hear you.” Zuo Yue rubbed her chest after saying one sentence.

“Are you having dinner with your new colleagues? What time is it now? At two in the morning, you were eating with your colleagues?”

Zuo Yue immediately felt like slapping herself to death.

How could he have forgotten the crucial point of time!

“I mean, I’m out eating and drinking with my colleagues and friends. It’s not just eating. There must be some other entertainment activities…”

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment before saying,””I heard that your uncle has recently returned to Boston and seems to have some negotiations with the company you are currently interning at.”

Zuo Yue’s heart skipped a beat.

She knew that her mother must have heard something when she called so late at night.

She suddenly turned around and looked behind her. Xu Chengfeng obviously heard the voice coming from her phone, but he still looked at her calmly and did not say anything.

Looking into his calm eyes, Zuo Yue suddenly seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, she turned around and walked to the balcony. She pushed open the French windows and walked up to the balcony. Only then did she start to find various reasons to talk to her mother.

Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable lying to Xu Chengfeng.

She finally found an excuse to say that it was a colleague’s birthday, which was why she was out so late. She also said that she knew Xu Chengfeng was back, but she did not meet him face to face. It was not until Xu Yuan gave her a few more instructions that she must not go to see Xu Chengfeng again. After a few twists and turns, she finally hung up the phone.

Zuo Yue stood on the balcony with her phone in her hand for a while before she turned around and returned to the dining table.

She had already eaten a lot just now, so she didn’t feel hungry anymore. She sat back down but didn’t pick up the cutlery. Instead, she put down her phone and said,”The situation with the Xu family is so complicated now. Shouldn’t you not let the Xu family and the Xu Corporation know about your matter for the time being?”
