Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 486
Over here, Xinyan and her father were having a great chat.
Over there, Li Yutong’s situation wasn’t as good.
She had agreed that her family would pick her up after the performance, but she’d been waiting at the school gate for almost half an hour and hadn’t seen anyone.
Seeing that Han Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin hadn’t gotten into trouble as she hoped, she was already in a bad mood. Adding to that, Qi Changping had mysteriously disappeared, she couldn’t find him, making her even more upset.
Now, she was standing like a fool at the school gate for ages, not seeing anyone coming for her, and the anger in her heart was rising fast.
She returned to school and knocked on the already resting duty room: "Sir, I’d like to make a call."
The old man was almost asleep and was a bit unhappy upon hearing the window being knocked, but since it was his job, although he was unhappy, he got up, opened the window, and set out the phone.
Li Yutong called several times with no answer, and she was so mad she wanted to smash the phone.
It wasn’t until the third call that her mom picked up: "Hello."
Her own husband was being investigated, and she had been pleading for help all day but no one would, dragging her tired body home, she heard the phone ring and didn’t expect to hear her daughter’s complaints as soon as she picked up: "Mom, what’s the matter with you guys, didn’t you say you’d come to pick me up?
I’ve been waiting at the school gate for almost half an hour and haven’t seen anyone. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of my classmates? It’s really humiliating."
Li Yutong’s mother, Ge Qianjin, almost died of anger hearing her daughter’s words: "Yutong, something happened at home, we can’t come to pick you up today. Just take the bus home by yourself tomorrow."
Li Yutong didn’t take it well at all: "Mom, I’ve earned such a big face for you guys, how can you treat me like this?"
Ge Qianjin was in no mood to discuss this with her daughter now, let alone whether she truly earned any face, others didn’t know, she herself wasn’t clear: "Yutong, you’re not a kid anymore, you need to understand some things, you’ll know when you get back."
Li Yutong felt gravely wronged: "If you’re not picking me up, then don’t, I won’t come back tomorrow either."
She hung up the phone with a snap and turned to leave.
The old man at the window stopped her: "Student, you haven’t paid yet?"
With the old man’s shout, Li Yutong felt embarrassed, turned around, and threw two bucks there: "Keep the change."
The old man had a temper too: "Stop right there."
He swiftly gave the change: "Take your money... and leave."
He originally wanted to say "get lost," but considering his current position, he forcibly changed it.
Li Yutong grabbed the money and ran off.
She lingered downstairs at the dorm for quite a while before going upstairs.
As soon as she entered, dorm 307.0 fell silent.
Xia Ruhui noticed Li Yutong’s bad expression, got up, and cautiously asked: "Yutong, why are you back again?"
Li Yutong glanced at her: "My business is none of your concern."
Then she took off her shoes, got on the bed, and pulled the blanket over her face.
The people in the dorm saw this situation and didn’t want to cause any conflict, so they didn’t talk more about tonight’s program and started preparing for rest.
Xia Ruhui couldn’t sleep after getting on her bed, wondering what had happened to Li Yutong.
In her mind, she thought: If the Li Family fell into misfortune, it would be good, so she wouldn’t have to see Li Yutong’s expression anymore; she really didn’t want to live like this for another day.
But then she thought again, the possibility was too small, Li Yutong’s uncle’s position was quite high, even if something did happen, they might all be protected. She sighed, collecting her thoughts.
