Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 279: Who Told You to Call Him_1

“I knew you would come, take your time, we’ll wait for you to start the meal,” Wang Daizhen on the other end immediately lit up with a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Ruan Tianling got up to take a shower and changed his clothes before heading out.

As he got into the car and started it, he received another call, this one from Yan Yue.

“Tianling, how about coming over to my place for dinner tonight?”

The second day of the month is traditionally the day when daughters and sons-in-law return to their parents’ home for a meal. Even though they weren’t married, Yan Yue wanted him to come over to her house. Not only would it reflect well on her, but it would also make her parents happy.

Ruan Tianling started the car and hesitated before responding, “I can’t today. How about tomorrow? I have something to do today.”

“What’s going on?”

“A bit of an urgent matter.”

“Can’t you come later?”

“Hmm, I might be able to come in the evening.”

“Alright then, come when you’re free.” Her tone didn’t hide her disappointment.

Ruan Tianling felt a pang of guilt, but since he’d already agreed to go to Jian Yufei’s house, backing out at this point probably wouldn’t be very proper.

After terminating the call, he drove off to Jian Yufei’s house.

Wang Daizhen served the food on the table and set out the chopsticks, making no hurry to start the meal. When Jian Yufei asked her who she was waiting for, she answered with a smile, “I called Tianling, he said he’d be here shortly.”

Jian Yufei was drinking tea, and at her mother’s words, she almost spat it out in surprise.

“Mom, who told you to call him!” In her panic, her tone became somewhat harsh.

Wang Daizhen became defensive, “He’s my son-in-law, can’t I invite him over for food?”

“Mom, I have an urgent matter to handle. I have to leave, you guys go ahead and eat. I’m not hungry anymore.” She put on her coat, grabbed her bag and was about to leave.

There was no way she could sit at the same table with Ruan Tianling for dinner.

As far as she was concerned, she and he clashed like water and fire! Wherever he was, she wouldn’t be!

“You ungrateful girl! Are you deliberately trying to upset me? What’s wrong with inviting Tianling over for dinner? You can’t tolerate him so much that you don’t even listen to me? How often do you come home? And finally, when the whole family can share a meal together, this is how you behave! Alright then, if you want to leave, then leave right now! I’m going to pretend I never had a daughter like you!”

“Mom…”

“Don’t call me!” Wang Daizhen was visibly furious. Sun Hao, seeing them arguing, pushed his homework aside, deciding he wouldn’t be doing it any longer.

Sun Zhaohui emerged from his study, trying to lighten the atmosphere with a smile, “It’s a big holiday, you two shouldn’t argue over minor matters. Yufei, your mother rarely gets to see you. Today, no matter what, you should stay until it gets dark before leaving. Be obedient, sit down quickly, don’t let your mom be upset.”

Seeing her mother’s eyes slightly reddening, Jian Yufei’s heart melted.

Her mother was always her mother. She couldn’t really break her heart, could she?

She put her bag down and took off her coat once again.

Just at this moment, the doorbell rang. Wang Daizhen, as if nothing had happened, smiled and said, “It should be Tianling. Xiaohao, quickly put away your textbooks. Your brother-in-law is here, it’s time for dinner.”

“Oh.” Sun Hao quickly put away his homework with a joyful expression. He had long been hungry and was just waiting to eat.

Sun Zhaohui strode over to open the door, and standing at the entrance was indeed Ruan Tianling.

He stood in the doorway in his black coat, effectively blocking the whole door with his tall figure.

Even though Sun Zhaohui wasn’t short and even had a slight paunch, standing in front of Ruan Tianling, it gave the impression that he was considerably smaller.

“Tianling, you’re here. Come in quickly, we’ve been waiting to start dinner,” Sun Zhaohui enthusiastically welcomed him inside.
