683: It Was Indeed That Persistent Woman Calling

It Was Indeed That Persistent Woman Calling

If Chi Mingwei didn't mention it, Chi Jiao would have really forgotten about her birthday.1

Slapping her forehead, she said, "Daddy, just do as you deem fit. I have no objections."

Chi Mingwei nodded. "Don't worry, my daughter. Our family's situation is much better than before. The company has made a lot of money recently. Daddy will definitely throw a great birthday party for you. When the time comes, invite all your classmates and friends. We'll have a good time."

Seeing that he was so eager to hold a birthday party for her, Chi Jiao didn't want to dampen his spirits. She smiled. "Alright."

Actually, she had many friends. She was just worried that her father would be shocked if she invited all of them.

As for her classmates, she only planned to invite Dang Nan, Yi Lanlan, and Bai Weiyu.

"You guys must be tired from the long journey. Ask Auntie Zhou to make you guys some supper. Eat and rest," Chi Mingwei said.

Chi Jiao and Quan Jue left the room together.

Chi Mingwei sat back down at his desk.

Just as he was about to continue working, his phone suddenly rang in the quiet room. It was a little ear-piercing.

Chi Mingwei picked up his cell phone and looked at the caller ID.

He frowned when he saw the familiar number on the screen and cut off the call.

But the caller didn't give up and immediately called again.

Chi Mingwei canceled the call again.

After repeatedly cutting off the call dozens of times, Chi Mingwei finally lost his patience and switched off the phone.

The world finally quietened down.

Chi Mingwei heaved a long sigh of relief. After calming himself down, he continued his work.

Downstairs.

Auntie Zhou made some nourishing fishball noodles.

While Chi Jiao and Quan Jue were eating in the dining room, Auntie Zhou prepared a cup of hot milk for each of them.

"Young Master Quan, First Miss, eat more. If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen." Auntie Zhou smiled. "Look, you two lost weight. Don't lose more. I will make delicious food for you two every day. Try to come back for dinner at night."

Chi Jiao was eating the delicious fish balls and couldn't speak for the moment, so she just nodded vigorously.

Auntie Zhou looked at her little face and felt that she was very adorable and obedient. Her gaze softened.

If her daughter was half as obedient as Jiaojiao, she wouldn't have to worry.

Ring ring!

The landline phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Auntie Zhou frowned when she heard the phone ring.

Chi Jiao looked up and happened to see her expression.

As the phone continued to ring, Chi Jiao could clearly sense that Auntie Zhou was unwilling to answer the call.

"What's wrong, Auntie Zhou? Who is calling?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I'll go pick up the phone." Auntie Zhou hurriedly turned and walked out of the dining room.

Chi Jiao felt that something was amiss with her. She hurriedly put down her chopsticks and followed her to the living room.

The landline phone was placed on the table beside the sofa. Auntie Zhou walked to the table and picked up the phone.

Just as Auntie Zhou had expected, it was indeed that persistent woman calling.

She had just picked up the receiver when she heard a female voice coming from the other end of the line.

"Hello, is Chi Mingwei home? I'm looking for him. Put him on the phone!"
