Zhong Hailan had already heard what Xue Yang said, but Lin Xi still dutifully repeated it once more. "Auntie, Xue Yang said the plane tickets are for July 20th."
"Oh. Xiao Xi, are you coming back with him too?"
She wasn't particularly concerned about whether her own bratty son returned; her main concern was whether Xiao Xi would be coming back too.
"Ah?"
Caught off guard, Lin Xi hesitated and glanced discreetly at Xue Yang before replying, "I... I don't know."
Seeing Lin Xi's predicament, Zhong Hailan immediately changed her tune. "If you're busy, it's okay if you don't come back. There will be plenty of other opportunities."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi hurriedly said, "Auntie, I have time."
"Is it that brat Xue Yang? Is he refusing to bring you? Xiao Xi, give him the phone. I need to scold him."
What? She won't ask me directly when she wants something, but she'll scold me right to my face? That's my mother, alright.
