Chapter 538: I’m Here to Tattletale
“Dad.”
“Hah!” Qiao Zhengyuan hummed out of his nose, sounding cynical. “Why do you have time all of a sudden?”
Earlier, this kid came home, made a whole speech, nearly had a falling-out with them, then ran off.
He had left and only called back now, so how could he not be angry?
“I don’t have time.” Qiao Yanjue didn’t get angry. His tone was rather gentle, in fact.
“You’re not free and you’re calling me?” Qiao Zhengyuan let out another grunt, as if he had never thought of him.
“Why don’t you ask me why I’m not free?” Qiao Yanjue laughed.
Qiao Zhengyuan grunted again, “Say what you like.”
The old man’s arrogant response made Qiao Yanjue smile.
“I was busy with Zhikun’s affairs a while ago, so I didn’t have time.”
“Zhikun?” Qiao Zhengyuan froze for a moment. “What happened to him?”
Ke Zhikun was his only grandson, and his status was certainly different.
Of course, Ke Zhikun was no match for Qiao Yanjue.
“Well…”
Qiao Yanjue, however, hesitated.
“Say it!” Qiao Zhengyuan grunted irritably. “Did you guys get into a fight?”
Qiao Yanjue and Ke Zhikun were just a couple of years apart and played together as children.
However, Qiao Yanjue’s seniority was a generation older than the other children, plus his status was different, so he did not have a good relationship with the others.
When Qiao Yanjue was eight years old, he flipped out after being ostracized by a few kids who had joined forces.
It had gotten very ugly. Since then, their uncle-nephew relationship had not been good.
After growing up, everyone began to mature, and their relationship had eased a lot.
On the surface, at least, it was quite friendly.
However, a fight was also very much possible.
“I’m too old to fight with him,” Qiao Yanjue chuckled.
“Then what’s wrong? What’s he got going on that you need to take care of?”
“Hmm… Third sister really didn’t tell you?”
“Say it! Don’t hold back!” The old man was angry; he hated people who kept others guessing. “If you won’t tell me, then don’t!”
Qiao Yanjue laughed. The old man’s temper was still so volatile.
“Is my mom around?”
Qiao Zhengyuan was waiting for his explanation, so when he heard this sentence, he almost went ballistic.
“Your mother is upstairs! If you have anything to say, just say it! You called me, didn’t you?”
“Please let my mom come down first.”
Although the old man was in good health, Qiao Yanjue was afraid that what he had to say would cause him to burst a blood vessel, and that would be a sin, so someone had to be waiting nearby.
The old man ground his teeth, “Are you telling me or not?”
“Just tell my mom to come down!”
The old man was fuming. The damned brat!
He cursed and shouted upstairs, “Ah-Qin!”
“Coming!”
In a few moments, a charming middle-aged woman came down from upstairs, looking somewhat similar to Qiao Yanjue.
“What’s wrong?”
“Your son is looking for you.”
“Yanjue.” Liu Yiqin took the phone in pleasant surprise. “How come you have time to call?”
“I’m here to tattletale.”
Qiao Yanjue’s words made her freeze for a moment. Tattletale?
“Mom, you have to take care of my dad’s health. Don’t let him get angry.”
Liu Yiqin had a vague idea in her heart.
“I know.”
“Then turn on the speakerphone.”
Liu Yiqin turned on the speakerphone suspiciously.
“Dad, Zhikun was taken into the police station.”
“What?!”
Qiao Zhengyuan froze for a moment, then his expression changed.
“What did you say?!”
What did he mean that Zhikun had went into the police station? What happened?
