Jiang Duo quickly picked up his father’s call and put it on speaker. Xiao Ningjin and the others hushed the singer in the room and chatted with Jin Ming and Fang Yinglong on the side.
Soon, Father Jiang’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Where have you been lately? Are you ever planning to come home?” There was some anger in Father Jiang’s tone, and the others could hear it.
They were already used to Father Jiang losing his temper at Jiang Duo. In the past, when Ah Duo spoke to Father Jiang, he would usually curse and then throw his phone.
Jiang Duo saw Xiao Ningjin, Chang Hao and the others looking at him, and his face subconsciously stiffened. He wanted to explain, but he didn’t dare be distracted when his father called him.
After listening to Father Jiang, Xiao Ningjin increasingly suspected that what Ah Duo said about the Nourishment Pill curing Old Master Jiang, and how everyone in the Jiang family, including Father Jiang, had been very good to him and indulged him because of it, was all nonsense. If Jiang Duo wasn’t still on the phone with Father Jiang, Xiao Ningjin and the others wouldn’t have been able to help but curse him. They also increasingly suspected that Jiang Duo, this kid, had taken a fancy to the shop owner’s beauty and wanted to hook up with her.
The bones in their fingers creaked as they stared fiercely at him.
Jiang Duo took in his friends’ expressions and wanted to cry without tears. However, he couldn’t explain now. In order to prove that he really wasn’t a swindler, Jiang Duo deliberately said, “Dad, I’m afraid I won’t be free for the next few days. By the way, do you know who I saw last night? Master Chi, the Taobao shop owner whom I bought the Nourishment Pills from for Grandpa. I…”
Before Jiang Duo could finish speaking, Father Jiang suddenly got excited and interrupted his son. He raised his voice and said, “What? That Taobao shop owner is called Master Chi? Ah Duo, did you really see that Master Chi? Did you thank her? By the way, when are you going to invite her to our Jiang residence? No, when can your grandfather and I pay her a visit?”
Father Jiang’s voice trembled at that moment. One could imagine how excited he was!
Not to mention Jiang Duo, everyone else could also clearly hear the excitement in Father Jiang’s voice. Apart from Jin Ming and Fang Yinglong, who were stupefied, the faces of Xiao Ningjin, Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying gradually changed.
“Dad, that’s why I can’t go back for the next few days. I have to take the opportunity to get along with Master Chi.” Jiang Duo took in the changes in the boys’ expressions and was pleased with himself. Afraid that his father would be doubtful, he deliberately said, “Dad, it was Yunfeng who introduced me to her!”
Father Jiang finally stopped doubting Jiang Duo. After all, he knew very well how his son had discovered this Taobao shop, and he grew even more excited. His son might be trash, but his luck was really good.
Jiang Duo said at that moment, “Dad, that’s why I really don’t have time to go back these days!”
Father Wei was no longer dissatisfied with him. “It’s fine, it’s fine! Forget it if you’re not free! I’ll talk to your mother for you! By the way, do you have enough money? If not, I’ll give you more!”
Xiong Luoying, Xiao Ningjin, Chang Hao: …
Jiang Duo deliberately wanted his brothers to see how good his father was to him now, so he hurriedly said, “Dad, it’s not enough. I just happened to spend some with Master Chi. Give me some more!”
