94 I’m here 2

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Tong Lu would call her every day, but she refused to go home. That night, the mother and daughter were on the phone again. Leng Yejin had no idea when he had gotten into the habit of checking Shanshan’s homework every day when she called.

“Dad, why did you eavesdrop on our conversation?”

Leng Yejin flipped through the pages with a straight face and said,’who said I was eavesdropping? Can’t you see that daddy is checking your homework?”

“Dad never had time to check my homework for me before …”

that’s because your mother is here to check on you. Do you still have her now?” Leng Yejin lifted his cold and arrogant face. I’m so busy in the day and I have to check your homework at night. Why didn’t you call your mother home to help me?”

mommy isn’t happy living here, so of course I have to respect mommy’s choice ~~~ I’m mommy’s sweet little cotton-padded jacket ~~~”

Shanshan pouted her little mouth. Daddy doesn’t mean what he says ~~~ he’s not even admitting that he eavesdropped on us!

“Daddy, do you miss mommy?” Shanshan suddenly grabbed the phone in excitement. “Mommy, Daddy said he misses Yingluo.”

Before the information was sent out, the telephone line was ruthlessly pulled out.

Leng Yejin shouted sternly,”Butler, what year is it now? why are there still wired phones in the house?” Clean them all up! This kind of phone is the easiest to eavesdrop. Do you have any sense of security?”

Tong Lu could not get through to Shanshan’s house phone for a few days. She was always one step behind the bodyguards when she went to pick up Shanshan from school. She missed Shanshan, but she suddenly realized that she had no chance to see her again except when she went back to the Leng family’s house. She felt inexplicably annoyed. She could not help but call Leng Yejin’s cell phone.

The voice that came from the other end of the phone was very clear and unapproachable.”Who is it?”

Tong Lu mustered up her courage and said, ” uncle, it’s me. I can’t get through to the phone at home. I want to talk to Shanshan.

“So, you know that you have a daughter?” Leng Yejin’s voice was cold.

Tong Lu was embarrassed. of course I know.

Leng Yejin chuckled in a deep voice. He sounded like he was interrogating someone.”If you know, how dare you not ask about your daughter? Shanshan had bloating and stomachache while eating the cake, and now she’s crying for her mother. Miss Tong, where is her mother?”

“What?” Tong Lu’s heart skipped a beat. She could not be bothered by miss Tong’s unfamiliar way of addressing her. She quickly asked, ” “Why did you give her so much?”

you didn’t take good care of your child, yet you still dare to ask why others gave her so much to eat. What kind of mother are you? ” Leng Yejin’s voice was frosty. Tong Lu, if you don’t want to raise the child, just say it. No one’s forcing you! I’ll get my lawyer to look for you tomorrow and I’ll get Shanshan’s custody!”

“How can we do that? Shanshan is my child, so of course I have the custody.”

are you sure you want to fight for the custody of your daughter with me? you can’t win against me.

Tong Lu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Her mind was filled with the image of Shanshan eating too much and crying loudly. Her heart ached. She quickly grabbed her bag and left the room.”I don’t want to talk about this right now. Can you pass the phone to Shanshan? I’ll be there immediately!”

“No need. Isn’t it too late to care about the child now?”

Leng Yejin heard the door closing and hurried footsteps coming down the stairs. Without another word, he hung up the phone.

“Hello? Hello? Don’t hang up, let me have a word with Shanshan?” Tong Lu yelled at her phone for a long time and tried to call back, but no one picked up. Seriously, how could he reject her call at a time like this? Shanshan needed her the most!
