Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Accidentally Spotted the Big Tumor_1
“I miss Dad. I can’t even go in to keep you company.” In truth, she hadn’t slept all night.
She just couldn’t sleep, for some reason.
“Dad, how are you feeling?”
Song Chuanqi had been confined to his bed for several days. What could he feel lying on a sickbed? But he just smiled, “I’m fine. I could go back to the villa in a couple of days. By then, I’d love to eat the porridge fed by my daughter.”
“Sure Dad, I will feed you whatever you want to eat.”
Separated by a glass window, Ye Xingguang chattered on the phone for nearly half an hour like a joyful squirrel. She was concerned about exhausting her father, so she finally ended the call. Alone, she sat on a bench outside the special ward, unsure of what news to read.
Despite being suspended from work, she still maintained her habit of watching the news and keeping up with current affairs every morning.
In the morning, Han Chengbei brought some health supplements to visit her father. He specifically asked her about the final status of the major scandal. Ye Xingguang found it annoying and ignored Han Chengbei.
Han Chengbei was relatively busy today. He took some time out to visit her father and left after less than fifteen minutes.
Because today, the Presidential Office released a piece of news. The vice president was taken away by the investigation bureau because the police had collected enough evidence, proving that the gas station explosion was related to the vice president. The political bigwig Pan Tenglong had fallen from grace.
Unlike the disgraced Pan Tenglong, good news came from Lawson Perry’s end. It was now clear that the gas station explosion had nothing to do with him. His image in the hearts of the people soared once again. Moreover, he had been elected as the vice president for the next term.
Han Chengbei was in a hurry to congratulate Lawson Perry.
Ye Xingguang lacked any interest in this. In the afternoon, she heard from her mother that her mother-in-law had visited her father at the hospital yesterday. This was the only topic of the day that lightened her mood, so she chatted with her mother for a while longer.
Bai Lanwu said, “Make a call for Ye, invite him to dinner tonight. I bought a fish head at the market today. The last time Ye said he wanted to try my pickled pepper fish head, I’ve got the time today, so let him taste my cooking.”
Thinking about the stern woman’s dinner appointment with the major scandal, Ye Xingguang said, “He might be busy tonight and won’t be able to make it.”
“How would you know if you don’t even call to ask? Just ask first.”
“Even if I ask, he’ll definitely be busy.”
Ye Xingguang took out her phone and texted Ye, silently hoping that he would refuse the dinner invitation: [Mom’s asking you to come over for pickled pepper fish head tonight.]
Very quickly, Ye responded: [I have to work late tonight, no time.]
Ye Xingguang showed the text message to her mother, “See, I told you he wouldn’t be free tonight. Mom, you don’t have to go through all the trouble. We’re not taking care of Dad anyways, why don’t we go out for dinner tonight? Change up the flavor a bit?”
“That sounds good. Once your dad is out of the special ward, we probably won’t have the time to go out to eat. Let’s go out tonight.”
In the early evening, mother and daughter went out to dinner together. The restaurant was chosen by Bai Lanwu. From the outside, it didn’t look like much. But once they entered and meandered through the winding corridors, they found it to be rather elegant.
After being guided to their seats by the waiter, Ye Xingguang got up to use the bathroom. To her surprise, she saw the scandalous figure dining with a woman at another elegant booth, the two of them looking quite pleased with each other.
Her nose twitched uncomfortably at the sight, and she suddenly lost all interest in going to the restroom. Turning around, she approached Bai Lanwu who was in the midst of ordering and said, “Mom, let’s eat at a different restaurant, alright?”
