Chapter 570 - 570 571 Asking for Help (10)_1
?Chapter 570: Chapter 571: Asking for Help (10)_1 Chapter 570: Chapter 571: Asking for Help (10)_1 Jing Haohao used up so much energy, yet she didn’t manage to dial out.
She was the one who had decided to walk away without looking back. She was the one who put an end to their toxic relationship. Now, amidst a crisis, was she going to ask him for help? What did she think he was to her?
As Jing Haohao pondered on this, she lowered her hand awkwardly.
However, she really didn’t want to go to jail. Fang Lu wouldn’t do, Liang Chen wouldn’t do…could it be that she had to resort to the one person she didn’t want to seek help from, Shen Liangnian?
Jing Haohao’s mind was in turmoil.
She was holding her phone, pacing up and down on the balcony. After a long period of indecision, she finally lifted her hand and typed in a “liang” in the search bar. Then, she looked at the names Liangnian and Liang Chen on the screen, closed her eyes, and directly clicked on “Liangnian’s” name to dial out.
The phone rang several times before it connected.
A pleasing and relaxed voice came from the other end of the line, “Hello?”
Jing Haohao was suddenly stupefied as she held her phone. She glanced at the screen and saw that the caller ID displayed was “Liang Chen”.
How could this be? She was certain she had dialed Liangnian.
“Hello, Haohao? Are you there?” The voice came again from the phone.
Jing Haohao’s palms were sweaty from gripping the phone. She could hear chaotic sounds from the line; there were many people talking as if they were at a dinner party.
…
Liang Chen has a private cell phone, which is switched on twenty-four hours a day. Only a few critically important people know this number.
So he immediately reached for his phone when it rang and saw a strange number from Jiangshan City on the display.
After a quick thought, he realized that it could only be Jing Haohao.
His hand holding the phone trembled harshly as he abruptly stood up from his chair to answer it.
There was no response.
He asked again, but still, there was silence.
Behind him, the sound of clinking glasses filled the messy dinner party.
Liang Chen held his phone, quickly leaving the private dining room, and stood in the quiet hallway, gazing at the ceiling in a daze, feeling as if it had all been a hallucination.
Jing Haohao had actually called him.
It took a tremendous effort for Liang Chen to suppress his excitement, then he asked in a serious tone, “Haohao, is there something wrong?”
…
Jing Haohao was even more unsure of how she should talk. Although they were only separated by a phone, she felt so nervous that she wished she could disappear in that instant.
Her fingertips were trembling badly as she gripped the phone.
Liang Chen on the other end was patient, not pressing her to speak.
After a while, Jing Haohao heard the sound of a door through the phone, then more chaotic sounds. It seemed that Liang Chen had returned to the dinner party. Welcoming sounds came through.
“Mr. Liang is back, have a seat.”
“Mr. Liang, a toast to you.”
Then came the sound of clinking glasses. Shortly after, Jing Haohao heard Liang Chen’s voice, “Sorry, I have something urgent to attend to and I have to leave. Put this meal on my tab.”
Following chaotic farewells, it gradually became silent. Then Jing Haohao heard Liang Chen’s voice, crisp as a spring, streaming calmly, “Haohao, let’s talk about it when we meet. I’m on my way to you now.”
