Chapter 161: I will Pass It On

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not expect Lu Wanggui to let her answer the call.

Although her mood was inexplicably good, she still retained a trace of rationality. After all, this was Lu Bei’s biological mother, and his ex-wife. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for her to answer it? So she wanted to make sure, “I’ll answer it? Are you sure?”

Lu Wanggui picked up the towel next to him and wiped his body. When he heard that, the corner of his lips curled up. “Yes.”

Actually, he knew why Yao Fei called. He and Yao Fei had a peaceful divorce, and they were both very rational. Being friends after a divorce was not for them, so after the divorce, they did not have much contact. Every time they talked, it was serious business.

He had thought about telling Xiang Xiaoyuan the whole story of his previous marriage, but he felt that it was not the right time yet. Moreover, Xiang Xiaoyuan had not asked about it, nor did she show any curiosity.

Even so, some matters should be clarified as soon as possible

Xiang Xiaoyuan pressed the answer button and turned on the speaker at the same time. To be on the safe side, she also pressed the recording button. She was very thoughtful.

Yao Fei’s voice was cold, and her words were distant and polite. “Are you able to talk now?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment. “Hello.”

Yao Fei seemed to be stunned as well, but she quickly reacted. “Hello, Mrs. Lu.” The only person who would pick up Lu Wanggui’s phone at this time was his new wife.

“Hello, Ms. Yao.” Xiang Xiaoyuan was also very polite. “Lu Bei’s father is not available to pick up the phone right now. If there’s anything important, you can call him later.”

“No need. Can I trouble you to pass on the message?”

At this moment, Xiang Xiaoyuan was envious of Lu Wanggui. She had seen too many people who were hostile towards each other after a divorce. There were not many like Yao Fei who still showed respect to the other person.

“Yes, of course,” Xiang Xiaoyuan replied.

Yao Fei’s tone sounded very calm, however, if one listened carefully, one could still hear a hint of sadness. “I talked to Xiao Bei on the phone and found out about the death of his uncle. I’m currently overseas and can’t make it back in time. I had someone send a wreath to the funeral home. I’m sorry for your loss.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan knew that based on his uncle’s relationship with Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei, he must have treated Yao Fei very well when they were still together. No wonder Yao Fei would call him.

“Alright, I’ll pass the message on.”

After hanging up the phone, Yao Fei was lost in thought. Both she and Lu Wanggui were introverted people. Both of them were trying their best to maintain their marriage, but deep down, they knew that there was no longer a need to continue. In the end, they parted peacefully. Now, she no longer loved Lu Wanggui and she also had a family. The only reason why she was so sad was because she realized that Lu Wanggui would allow such a thing.

She knew how private Lu Wanggui’s phone was to him. They had been married for so many years, but she had never answered the phone for him. But Xiang Xiaoyuan could, she could feel that Lu Wanggui had given her permission to answer it and that she didn’t do this on her own.

At this moment, someone came in from outside. Yao Fei looked up. It was her husband, Huo Xu.

Huo Xu saw her sitting on the bed and habitually walked behind her to hug her. “Are you done with CEO Lu? What did he say? Should we go over to pay our respects?”

Yao Fei shook her head. “No, it’s not convenient with my current status. It wasn’t Lu Wanggui who answered the phone just now, it was Mrs. Lu.”

Huo Xu was stunned and then smiled. “Are you jealous?”

“Don’t be silly, I’m just a little emotional.” Yao Fei patted him gently. “After all, people like you are very private with your phone calls.”

“Who said that?” Huo Xu smiled as he took out his phone and handed it to her. “You can do whatever you want with mine, whether it’s business or private. Mrs. Huo can check it at any time, so don’t be envious of others.”

On the other side, Xiang Xiaoyuan was still holding Lu Wanggui’s phone in a daze. When Lu Wanggui came out of the bathroom, he glanced at her. “What did she say?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan came back to her senses. “I recorded it. Do you want to hear it for yourself or should I tell you about it?”

“Go ahead.” Lu Wanggui wiped his hair with a towel and occasionally glanced at her.

“Yao Fei said that she found out about your uncle’s death and it wasn’t convenient for her to come over, so she got someone to send a wreath. She’s sorry for your loss.”

Lu Wanggui had long guessed the reason for Yao Fei’s call. His expression did not change. “Okay, I got it.”

After taking a shower, the tiredness from the night of not sleeping had been washed away. He buttoned his watch and said, “We should go down. Do you still want to rest?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan shook her head.. “No.”
