Chapter 266 - Lets talk (2/2)

When he opened it, he was shocked to see over a hundred missed calls and close to forty messages. In fact, his phone's temperature was very hot and the battery was almost low.

He did not bother with the many missed calls and texts from unidentified numbers. He wanted to call Sara first but a call came in.

When he took the call, he heard a male voice speak.

”Is this Wang Jianjun from DELIMEAL?”

”Yes. Who is on the line?”

”Thank goodness. I have been calling to the point where I thought it was a wrong number. Why did you not open the restaurant today? I and a group of friends wanted to visit since we did not get the chance to do so yesterday.”

'So this was the reason a lot of people had been calling him?' Jianjun asked himself.

After explaining that something came up and he would be available tomorrow, the man went on to ask.

”Alright. No problem at all. But are you really Sara Wang's father? Can I have her number?”

Jianjun did not wait for him to ask any more questions, he quickly hung up with a hiss.

He checked a new message that just popped up on the screen and sure enough, the message was really from a customer. It was their mistake for including his number to the flier. He had not expected them to become so popular. There was nothing he could do about it except to live with it.

He was about dialing Sara's number when they heard the front door open. With the hope that it was Sara, Joreen and Jianjun left the room for the sitting room and both saw a lifeless looking Cixi appear in sight.

”Mum. Thank God you are back.” Joreen embraced Cixi with a sigh of relief.

But something else seem to worry her— the way her mother was looking right now.

It was bad enough that Jianjun and Sara were looking terrible. Her mother had to join also?

What happened on Christmas day? Did any Santa visit their home while bearing gifts of sadness? Then why was she not affected by it? Maybe she was probably in the bathroom when he came?

Cixi hugged Joreen back and looked at Jianjun. They both did not say anything but only stared at each other.

He knew she was probably going through a lot.

Seeing Changyu eating in their restaurant must have annoyed her. And it was understandable.

But he knew he had to explain things to her. He had to tell her everything that had happened and why Changyu sent that letter.

”When you are done freshening up, let's talk.” He finally said to her.

She forced a smile at Joreen when she pulled away from the hug before turning to look at Jianjun again.

”Yes. We really need to. But I have to sleep first.” Cixi said in a low voice before heading towards their bedroom.
