My Wife is Obviously a Queen but She is too Virtuous

Chapter 241 - Mom Already Has a New Daughter

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, only a slight exhalation of air, then a middle-aged woman's voice.

"Lin Yao, you wanted to see me for something?"

This voice was pleasant to the ear, much like Lin Yao's, but without the girl's crispness, it was more vicarious and steady.

"Mom, how are you, how are you doing?"

Lin Yao softly and timidly whispered.

There was silence again on the other end of the phone and Hai Yao replied.

"I'm fine, Lin Yao, I read entertainment news, you...worked hard."

Lin Yao covered her mouth at once, her beautiful eyes flashing, a smile appearing on her face.

"It's okay, Mom, I'm not hard."

After all these years, this was the first time Mom had ever cared about her.

"If you get tired, you can come see me."

Hai Yao seemed to hesitate, then said.

"Mom, I'm going home this year for the Spring Festival, can you, can you come home too?"

Lin Yao asked cautiously.

It had always been her wish for her family to have a reunited Spring Festival together.

"Lin Yao, it's late, get some rest early, good night."

Hai Yao, however, did not reply and was about to hang up after saying goodnight.

"Mom!"

Lin Yao said evenly, "There's one more thing."

"What is it?" Haiyao asked.

"I... I... fell in love."

There was a whirring, electric-like sound from the other end of the phone, a sound caused by breathing suddenly becoming heavier and exhaling on the phone's microphone.

"Who's the other guy?"

Hai Yao asked.

"His name is Fang Xiaole, he's from Lantern City, he works in Jiang Rong, he's, he's very nice to me..."

"Does your father know?

Hai Yao suddenly asked.

"Dad he doesn't know yet."

Lin Yao said in a small voice.

"Lin Yao, I'm in no position to give my opinion on your dating, but you'd better tell your father first...you know his temper."

Hai Yao's voice became serious.

"Mom, can you help me tell Dad, I'm afraid I'll say he'll..."

"Mom, why aren't you sleeping, who's calling you this late?"

Offhandedly, a young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Hai Yao answered softly.

"I'll sleep right away on work."

"Oh, well, you get some rest early then, good night.

"Goodnight."

The girl's voice was young, still a little young, sounding like a student, sleepy, and after yawning there was the sound of slippers kicking and the door slamming.

"Mom, was that..."

Lin Yao's heart suddenly felt like it was being gripped, and it was difficult to breathe.

"Lin Yao, I'm sorry, I actually went through a divorce with your father many years ago, I'm not really qualified to say anything to your father anymore in my current situation."

Her mother's voice contained apologies and guilt, and Lin Yao suddenly said.

"Mom, I'm sleepy, good night."

She hung up the phone after saying that.

Lin Yao stared dumbly at the phone screen, her beautiful pupils were empty and her eyes unfocused.

Mom turned out to have already rebuilt a new family, no wonder, dad never wanted to talk about mom again for so many years.

Was that girl mom's new daughter?

The voice is nice, like a very obedient child, I guess it's better behaved and sensible than me?

Lin Yao curled up under the blanket, like a kitten afraid of the cold wrapping itself in layers.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you..."

The next day, Fang Xiaole asked Zhang Zhiqin to go to the used car market together.

Today, Lin Yao was going to record the last episode of Super Challenge, which might go on until late, and after that, she had to rush back to Kyoto overnight, where she would be invited to be a flying guest in a program tomorrow on Capital TV.

After that, Lin Yao will have to work with the company to promote the release of "Flowers in Dreams" and "Invisible Wings".

At the same time, big director Chen Guanghan's new film "Painted Skin" is about to be released, and the theme song "Painted Heart" sung by Lin Yao will start charting as well.

In November, Lin Yao will have three songs that will hit the New Song and Hot Songs charts, which is the final sprint for the Golden Melody Awards at the end of the year.

Lin Yao's first solo concert will also be held after the Golden Melody Awards, and in the next two months, Lin Yao will have to divert some of her energy to concert preparations.

In addition to the obvious business, Lin Yao and Fang Xiaole's studio will also be registered in November. Although Mo Yan is in charge of this, it's always the "little couple's" own business, so Lin Yao can't spare any effort.

By all accounts, these few days in Jiangrong City were probably the last few days of leisurely days this year.

And next year, the opening year was the much-anticipated Silver Dragon Award, at least until the Chinese New Year, Lin Yao didn't have any chance to rest.

It was hard to say exactly how much time the two of them would have to see each other, maybe they would be able to sneak in a brief meeting during their busy schedules, or maybe they wouldn't have time to see each other again at all.

Fang Xiaole was heartbroken for Lin Yao and also wanted to put her mind at ease, planning to get the car purchase done before she left.

As for calling there was Zhang Zhiqin, that was also no choice, Fang Fang and Mo Yan were going to accompany Lin Yao at the recording site, and he was the only person Fang Xiaole could call.

This kind of thing, especially choosing a used car, is better with two people than with one, lest one should be fooled by someone as a newcomer.

With a significantly older guy like Zhang Zhiqin accompanying him, maybe those used car dealers wouldn't dare to fool around so much.

"Zhang Zhiqin, you were beaten last night, and your eyes are so swollen?"

Fang Xiaole waited at the entrance of the used car market for a while, and Zhang Zhiqin, who had a pair of panda eyes on top of her head, arrived belatedly at this time.

"I didn't sleep well last night as I kept waiting for someone to reply to my message."

Zhang Zhiqin was energetic.

"Waiting for who?"

Fang Xiaole asked in confusion.

"Just, just a friend, Brother Fang, let's go."

With a perfunctory sentence, Zhang Zhiqin pushed his way into the used car market.

Somehow, he didn't want anyone else to know about his affair with Mo Yan.

Or rather, he wasn't ready to face the reaction of others when they knew about it.

When Fang Xiaole saw that Zhang Zhiqin didn't want to talk about it, it was hard to ask more questions, so they entered the used car market together.

Before they even started to walk around, they were greeted by a man with a watermelon head, short, chubby and round, he walked very fast, his entire body was like a rolling watermelon, rolling towards Fang Xiaole.

"Hello, I'm the gold sales consultant of the watermelon used car, my name is Li Gua Zi, are you looking for a car?"

Fang Xiaole didn't expect to be greeted by someone just after walking into the market, but he was still rather wary of these cunning used car merchants and wanted to send this treacherous-looking fellow away, casually and perfunctorily.

"I want to buy a cheaper car, preferably a pure import, with more space, with a displacement of no less than 3.0, driving no more than a hundred kilometers, and the most important point, the price should not exceed one hundred thousand."

Zhang Zhiqin beside him was dumbfounded, and thought to himself, doesn't Brother Fang know anything about cars? How can you buy a family car with 3.0+ displacement from a common joint venture brand for 100,000 at most?

Fang Xiaole smiled at Li Guazi after saying that and walked straight ahead and whispered to Zhang Zhiqin.

"I said that on purpose, so as not to be followed by him all the time, unable to look at the car properly."

Zhang Zhiqin suddenly realized, thinking that Brother Fang was still experienced enough to deliberately make such an unreasonable request, which was a disguised way of rejecting this used car merchant's sales pitch.

This is a good move, worthy of being Brother Fang!

Neither of them had another chance at this fat man and continued on into the market.

"This gentleman, we happen to have a car that meets your requirements."

It was so sudden that Li Guazi's laughing voice came from behind the two.
