BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113 - Disappointed
Chapter 113: Disappointed
“Why don’t you call Ding Yu from the Ding family?”
Cheng Xiao certainly knew the outcome as she didn’t have any interaction with Ding Yu at school. Those so-called affairs between her and Ding Yu were all fabricated by herself.
But since she had lied, she had to tell another lie to cover it up.
Thus, under Xie Wan’s eager gaze, Cheng Xiao called Ding Yu.
She didn’t even have Ding Yu’s WeChat!
“Hello, this is Ding Residence. May I know who you’re looking for?”
From the voice, Cheng Xiao guessed that this person was Ding Yu’s housekeeper.
“Hello, I’m looking for Ding Yu. I’m his classmate. My surname is Cheng.”
Hearing this, the housekeeper was a little excited.
It was a female classmate!
Ding Yu had always hung out with those male classmates to play games. It was not easy for a female classmate to call him.
“Please wait a moment, I’ll call him right away.”
Then, the housekeeper put the phone aside and went upstairs to find Ding Yu.
“Xiao Yu, there’s a call for you downstairs.”
The housekeeper had been working in the Ding family for decades and was very familiar with Ding Yu.
If it were in the past, Ding Yu would be playing games in his room with headphones on. But now, he had changed a lot. When he opened the door, he still had an open book in his hand.
“Xiao Yu, there’s a call for you downstairs. It’s a girl. She says she’s your classmate.”
Classmate? And a girl?
“I’m not picking up.”
All he could think of was that group of infatuated girls in school who chased after him every day.
After he refused to take the call, he wanted to close the door.
The housekeeper sighed when he saw Ding Yu’s response.
“Well, it seems that I can only go downstairs and reject this Miss Cheng.”
Ding Yu was about to close the door but open it again. There was a little surprise on his face.
“What did you say? That person’s surname is Cheng? Which Cheng?”
The housekeeper shrugged to indicate that he didn’t know.
“Xiao Yu, why did you ask this?”
Before the housekeeper finished asking, Ding Yu had already run to the first floor. He did not forget to bring the book with him.
The housekeeper nodded his head in relief.
“Our Xiao Yu is really diligent in his studies now.”
Ding Yu ran to the phone and took a deep breath first. When his breathing calmed down, he picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.
The two words ‘Cheng Ling’ were about to blurt out from his mouth when the girl on the other end spoke first.
“Is it Ding Yu?”
Cheng Ling would never use such a gentle tone to talk to him. The person on the other end was not Cheng Ling.
Ding Yu frowned.
“Yes, I am. Who are you?”
Cheng Xiao had thought that she did not have a good relationship with Ding Yu, but she did not expect that Ding Yu did not even know who she was.
But Xie Wan was still listening.
So Cheng Xiao could only jokingly say, “You can’t even recognize my voice? I am Xiao Xiao!”
Xiao Xiao?
Ding Yu frowned even more.
Who was Xiao Xiao?
Then, he remembered what the housekeeper had said. The person on the other end had the surname Cheng.
So it was… Cheng Xiao?
The two of them didn’t have much interaction, so why should he remember her voice?
Ding Yu just wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible.
“Oh, what’s the matter?”
“Next Monday is my grandfather’s birthday. My family is inviting you to come and join us.”
“I’m not going.”
Ding Yu hung up the phone. A few seconds later, Cheng Xiao realized that she had been hung up on again.
She was so ashamed that her face turned pale from anger.
However, she had to act to end the show. Even though there was no one on the other end of the phone, she still talked to herself.
“Oh, you said that Grandpa Ding is well recently. So you want to stay at home with him?”
Cheng Xiao then paused for a few seconds as if someone was answering her.
Then she said, “Of course his health is important. Please send my regards to Old Master Ding.”
“Okay, I will tell Grandpa. Grandpa will definitely not take it to heart.”
Then, Cheng Xiao hung up the phone.
Xie Wan could get some information from Cheng Xiao’s words.
“Old Master Ding is sick?”
Cheng Xiao nodded with a sad face. “Yes, I heard from Ding Yu that he seems to be quite sick. Thus he has to stay at home to accompany Old Master Ding. He can’t come over.”
“Oh, no wonder the Ding family didn’t reply. I’ll tell your grandfather about this so that he won’t be too angry. It’s not that the Ding family deliberately did not reply.”
Cheng Xiao nodded. After all, the Ding family didn’t have any interaction with her family. So, they couldn’t confirm if Old Master Ding was sick.
At this time, the nanny hurried up from downstairs.
“Miss Xiao Xiao, a call came to downstairs just now. It’s from a fashion store. They said that the dress you ordered has been bought.”
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao immediately stood up.
“What? Didn’t I tell them repeatedly to keep it as soon as it arrived?”
