When Ye Yan Xi tightly held onto the pole as she walked towards the kitchen entrance, she saw a figure flash in the kitchen. When that person turned around and ran away, Ye Yan Xi put up the clothes rack in her hand.

In the next second, the people in the kitchen also came out. When they saw Ye Yan Xi raising up the stick, they were immediately stunned. Their faces were full of shock, and the things in their hands fell to the ground.

It seemed to be a plate of fruit, rolling all over the place.

Before the clothes pole in Ye Yan's hand landed on her body, he could clearly see her face. As a result, his face was also filled with surprise. The stick in his hand was currently just a few centimeters above her head, barely stopping.

If she hadn't stopped her hand in time, she was afraid that this pole would have hit his head solidly.

This scene immediately shocked Ye Yan, who immediately threw away the clothes rack and apologized, ”Yes …” Are you all right? ”

The person in front of him wasn't just anyone else, but Xiao Yu's mother. When they were at He Man's wedding, Ye Yan had met before.

However, he hadn't expected that Xiao Yu's mother would suddenly appear here.

Madam Xiao was scared silly. He had heard that Xiao Yu was always staying at the apartment in Green Jade Bay, so he came to take a look as well. He didn't expect that there would be someone standing outside the kitchen door with a stick in hand.

At this moment, Huo Lin had also recovered from her shock after hearing Ye Yan's words. Her expression changed, and she had a severe expression on her face, ”Who are you? Why are you here?”

It had to be said that Xiao Yu's eyes were very similar to Huo Lin's. The way he was staring at his was also very sharp. It made people unable to evade his gaze, making them feel a bit pressured.

After being asked, Ye Yan Xi's mind was in a mess. She couldn't think of any excuses. Just as she was scratching her ears and cheeks in anxiety, her vision inadvertently swept over the balcony mop. She immediately had a flash of inspiration.

As a result, his head turned hot, and he blurted out a lie, ”I …” ”I'm a cleaner hired by Mr. Xiao. I was just cleaning up on the second floor when I heard something downstairs. I thought it was a thief …”

”Cleaners?” Holling's sharp eyes looked her up and down.

Ordinary hour workers and cleaners are basically elderly, rarely so young.

”Right.” Ye Yan Xi continued with her lie and immediately came up with a convincing reason for herself, ”I'm a third year student, and I work part-time at the home management company. Coincidentally, Mr. Xiao needs me, so I was sent over.”

”Is that so? ”Then is it done?”

”It's over.” Seeing that Huo Lin was still staring at her, she quickly picked up the clothes rack in her hands and put it back on the balcony. As she walked past the living room, she awkwardly smiled at Huo Lin, then picked up her bag and left.

After closing the apartment door, Ye Yan Xi sadly found out that she didn't bring her phone.

She usually left her cell phone on the bedside table in her bedroom. When she went downstairs, she only changed her clothes and forgot to take it off.

However, he didn't expect that Xiao Yu's mother would be so caught off guard.

When they met, she had only wanted to prevent Huo Lin from discovering her relationship with Xiao Yu, so she hadn't thought too much about it.

He stood at the door hesitantly for a moment. If he didn't have the phone, he wouldn't have been able to contact anyone. He didn't know where he should go.

After hesitating for a long time, she raised her hand to knock on the door again. After entering, she said that she forgot to take her phone. However, Madam Xiao would be suspicious if she went up to the second floor to get it.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Yan Xi's hand fell back down.

It was fortunate that she locked the door as soon as she came down and even took out the key. Madam Xiao probably wouldn't be able to enter the master bedroom or else she wouldn't be able to hide it.

Although she didn't have many things inside, she could still tell at a glance that it belonged to a woman. She had placed them inside the cupboard and prayed that Madam Xiao would not go through the closet on a whim.

Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi walked towards the elevator. If Mistress Xiao came out and saw that she was still standing at the door, who knew what she would think.

After going down the stairs, Ye Yan Xi looked up and was at a loss.

Where can we go now? He Xianyan will be changing shifts on Saturday, so she should be at the company now, right?

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to go look for He Xianyan and see her when she came back in the evening.

Sure enough, after half a circle in the apartment, she was about to go into the master bedroom, but the door was locked and she couldn't get in.

It seems like Xiao Yu knew that the hour worker would come and clean up, so he locked the door.

After leaving the apartment, Huo Lin called Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was in the middle of handling official affairs in his office. Several executives were waiting at the side for his signature. After glancing at the screen, Xiao Yu picked up the phone.

”Hello, Mom.”

”You know you have a mother!” The moment she opened her mouth, Madam Xiao reprimanded her.

Xiao Yu slightly raised an eyebrow and lightly asked, ”Who made you angry again?”

”Who else but you?” Huo Lin's tone was full of harshness, ”How long has it been? You don't even know how long it has been since you've taken the initiative to call me? ”Every time, you want me to call you. Those who don't know what's going on would think that one of us is an elder.”
