Chapter 2096: Vanity
Sun Dongqing, who was in pain, quickly got up to treat her wound. The phone at home rang. She pressed her fingers to stop the bleeding and looked up at the clock on the wall. A deep smile appeared on her face.
She placed the videotape on the coffee table and did not bother with it anymore. She quickly went to pick up the landline that was placed at the corner of the sofa.
Ye Zhifan didn’t call Sun Dongqing immediately. He and the driver who was supposed to pick them up had a misunderstanding about the pick-up point. Hence, Ye Zhifan had to wait for the driver to find them first.
Seeing that his daughter had gone to make the call, he said calmly, “Stand here and wait. I’ll go over and take a look.”
Ye Ying nodded hurriedly and said, “Dad, put down your luggage. I’ll guard it.”
“Okay, don’t wander around, or I’ll have to look for you.” The driver who came to pick them up called again. Ye Zhifan answered the call with a smile on his face. “We’re already outside. I’ll wait for you in the aisle. You should be able to see me once you make a turn.”
“Okay, okay. Thank you.”
The driver was sent by the Du family, so Ye Zhifan had to be polite. If he put on airs as the director of the Southern Province City Construction Bureau, he would be looking down on the Du family.
Sending someone to pick them up was the Du family showing them respect. Wasn’t looking down on the driver the same as looking down on the Du family?
Ye Zhifan, who wanted to build a good relations.h.i.+p with the Du family, wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.
…
At 6:30 pm., the lights in the capital were already turned on. Ye Ying, who was standing on the aisle of the parking lot, was in no hurry to tell Sun Dongqing the good news. “Mom, Madam Li sent a driver to pick us up. Dad and I will take a taxi to the hotel to meet Madam Li later.
“Madam Li also said that her daughter is in the military arts troupe. It’s a pity that her daughter isn’t in the capital city’s political regiment. It would be even better if she were in the capital city’s political regiment.”
If only Madam Li’s daughter was also in the capital city’s political regiment. She would definitely coax her every day, just like how she coaxed Yao Jing and the other girls back then!
Hearing such good news, Sun Dongqing felt her head buzzing. She said happily, “I told you, my Ye Ying is a likable person! You have to listen to Madam Li and coax her more. It’s fine even if you say more sweet words to her.”
“Mom, don’t worry. I know what to do.” Seeing Ye Zhifan waving at her, she quickly covered her phone and said in a sweet voice, “Mom, I’ll hang up now. Dad found the driver sent by Madam Li. I’ll get in the car first. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
...
Ye Ying was afraid that Ye Zhifan would hear her words. Before Sun Dongqing could finish speaking, she quickly hung up. When the car arrived, she had already adjusted her expression.
The driver sent by the Du family pushed open the car door and jogged to Ye Ying’s side. He greeted her respectfully and opened the car door to invite her in. Then, he placed his luggage in the backseat.
Ye Ying was so surprised that she felt a little unnatural. He was so polite that she thought she was a n.o.ble lady.
“Director Ye, Miss Ye, the madam is holding a banquet at w.a.n.g Fu Hotel. I’ll send you there now. The hotel you’re staying at is also w.a.n.g Fu Hotel. I hope you’ll be satisfied.”
The driver’s politeness made Ye Zhifan feel more at ease. Madam Li had personally arranged the food and accommodation. It was obvious how much the Du family valued the two of them.
