He really is busy with work right now.
Shen Manting couldn’t continue venting her anger like this. She snorted, still in a bad mood.
He is so busy, yet he still has time to eat with that woman.
How important is Yu Lili to him?
Ou Ming, how much do you like her? You like her so much that you dare to ignore your fiancée.
Obviously, Ou Ming treated them differently. Shen Manting, who had been born in a wealthy family, raised with love, and treated as a princess, couldn’t accept such a big difference in treatment.
After careful consideration, Shen Manting decided to call Ou Ming’s mother.
It was afternoon. The phone rang for a long time before Mother Ou answered. From the sound of her voice, Shen Manting thought that she had been taking a nap.
When the phone was connected, Shen Manting greeted sweetly, “Good afternoon, aunt.”
“Is that Manting? What’s up?”
Mother Ou had caught a cold recently, so she spoke with a nasally tone.
Shen Manting clearly recognized her tone and exclaimed, “Aunt, have you caught a cold?”
Hearing her words, Mother Ou smiled and said, “You are such a considerate child. Just from a few words, you could recognize that I have caught a cold.”
“Alas, anyone could figure that out. Have you taken any medicine? Have you gone to the doctor?”
Shen Manting asked several questions concernedly, which made Mother Ou feel warm in her heart. Mother Ou answered feelingly, “It does not matter.”
“Of course it matters. I will come over to visit you. My family recently received some new pieces of ginseng, which are good for health. I will bring one to you.”
“Manting, you’re so considerate, but forget it. It’s hard to get good pieces of ginseng, so you’d better keep it for yourself.”
After hearing the words of Mother Ou, Shen Manting looked at the time. It was around three o’clock in the afternoon. She smiled and said fawningly, “As long as it is for my aunt, it is worthwhile. Wait for me. I will be home later tonight.”
She said home instead of your home.
From the tone of Shen Manting, it was obvious that she already treated the Ou Mansion as her own home.
Mother Ou clearly recognized that, then she asked, “Where are you now?” At the same time, she looked at the clock. It was afternoon. “You can just come over and have an afternoon tea with me. Are you busy?”
“I’m not busy, but I’m in Zhou City. It will take me about three hours to drive to Kingstown. Wait for me.”
Hearing her words, Mother Ou was a little moved and said, “You don’t need to make a special trip here. Just do your work now! When you’re done, we can make arrangements. It will take you such a long time to get here.”
“No, Aunt. Ou Ming is so busy right now, so he doesn’t have time to take care of you. As your daughter-in-law, I must look after you for him. Please wait for me. I will leave as soon as I finish my work.” Shen Manting quickly hung up before Mother Ou could argue further.
After hearing the busy tone from the phone, Mother Ou was deeply touched and very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
Then, she made a phone call to Ou Ming. However, it was not Ou Ming who answered, but his a.s.sistant, Xu Cheng.
“Mrs. Ou,” Xu Cheng said. “Master Ou is in a meeting right now.”
“Well, when he finishes the meeting, ask him to call me back. I have something important to tell him.”
Xu Cheng had a dark, foreboding feeling about this. Nevertheless, he showed her respect and promised to pa.s.s on the message.
Ou Ming’s meeting had lasted for more than two hours. It was dusk by the time it was over. Ou Ming had finished his work just in time to go home for the day.
