Chapter 989: Chapter 1032: Is He Your Boyfriend?

After hanging up the phone with Ling’s father, Ling Yueyue rushed to the road to hail a taxi to the railway station.

As soon as she got off the taxi, Ling Yueyue saw Ling’s father sitting on the steps of the railway station, looking at the road and wiping tears with his hands!

Maybe his vision was blurred by the tears, so it wasn’t until Ling Yueyue walked up in front of Ling’s father that he saw her. He hurriedly stood up, sobbing as he said, "Yueyue, I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect it would turn out this way!"

Seeing her father, despite his age, crying like a child, Ling Yueyue felt compassion. She sighed and comforted him, "It’s okay, money is just external, as long as you’re safe! It’s just that with the ID lost, you can’t take the train back, you’ll have to take a long-distance bus! Let me call the long-distance bus service to see if there are buses available today!" Saying this, Ling Yueyue pulled out her phone and searched on Baidu for the long-distance bus service phone number and dialed it!

After chatting with the long-distance bus service for a while, Ling Yueyue hung up the phone and looked at Ling’s father with resignation, "The long-distance bus only operates twice a day, at nine in the morning and four in the afternoon! It’s already five now, too late! Tonight, you should stay at Jin City Hotel for the night! I’ll book a ticket online for you tomorrow morning at nine! You can take the long-distance bus to go back tomorrow!"

"...!" Ling’s father lowered his head and remained silent for quite a while before reluctantly nodding.

Taking in Ling’s father’s demeanor, Ling Yueyue’s heart was clear as a mirror!

However, she said nothing, instead, she led Ling’s father into a taxi, "Please, take us to the long-distance bus station!"

Just after giving the driver the address, her phone in her pants pocket started ringing frantically.

Ling Yueyue took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID, seeing it was Huo Junmo, she panicked, gave Ling’s father a guilty look, then answered the call, covering the mouthpiece with her hand, whispered, "How do you have time to call me now, aren’t you supposed to be busy?"

On the other end, Huo Junmo’s deep and pleasant voice came through, "I’m about to get off work, wanted to ask where you are, I’ll pick you up and we can go home together!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue hurriedly said, "No need! There was only half a day’s class at school today, I went shopping with classmates after school at noon! I’m not going home to eat tonight, I’ll eat out! You don’t have to worry, just go home after picking up Tiantian! I’ll take a bus home tonight!"

"...!" There was a brief silence on the other end before Huo Junmo reluctantly said, "Alright then! Have fun! If it’s too late, call me, I’ll pick you up and bring you home! It’s unsafe for a girl to be out at night!"

"Okay! I know!" Saying this, without waiting for a response from Huo Junmo, she hung up the phone directly!

Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Huo Junmo paused for a moment, moved the phone away from his ear, and looked at it with a hint of bewildered confusion.

On the other side, Ling Yueyue quickly hung up the phone and hurriedly shoved her phone back into her pants pocket.

Ling’s father glanced at Ling Yueyue’s guilty, dodging eyes and tentatively asked, "Your boyfriend?"

"...!" Ling Yueyue was stunned, hurriedly shook her head frantically in denial, "No, how could it be a boyfriend! It’s not, really not!"

Earlier, Ling’s father had only suspected, but seeing Ling Yueyue deny so urgently, he felt a little certain, "Actually, you’re already twenty this year, and you should have a boyfriend! If he really is your boyfriend, Dad won’t mind as long as he’s good to you and cherishes you!"

Hearing Ling’s father say this, Ling Yueyue suddenly felt sarcastic, "You may not mind, but I’m afraid others will! If others know I have a vampire mother and a weak, incompetent father, and a bunch of debt-collector siblings... My family is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much you fill it, it can’t be filled. I think any man would be scared and mind this, right? Do you think under these circumstances, I can find a man who doesn’t care and genuinely loves me?"

"...!" Ling’s father looked at Ling Yueyue guiltily, bowed his head, unsure how to speak! Or rather, he had no face to say anything.

Throughout the journey, neither spoke.

Soon, they arrived at the long-distance bus station, Ling Yueyue paid the fare and got off the car with Ling’s father!

To make it convenient for tomorrow’s ride, Ling Yueyue chose a hotel closer to the bus station with reasonable and fair prices for Ling’s father to stay.

Because checking in requires an ID for registration, and Ling’s father’s ID was lost, Ling Yueyue used her own ID to check Ling’s father in.

After settling Ling’s father in the room, Ling Yueyue took out three hundred yuan from her wallet and handed it to Ling’s father, "Here’s three hundred yuan, it should be enough for your expenses on the way back tomorrow!"

Ling’s father extended his hand to take it but hesitated to put it in his pocket.

Seeing Ling’s father’s demeanor, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but feel angry! She decided not to care and was about to turn and leave!

Suddenly, Ling’s father’s phone started ringing frantically.

Ling’s father pulled out his phone, answered the call, and immediately heard Ling Yueyue’s mother’s sharp voice from it, "Hey, did you get the money? Did you see that wretched girl? Did she give you the money? Let me tell you, if she doesn’t give you the money, don’t come back, go make noise at her school, make trouble at her work, you must get the money from her, understand?"

Although separated by a distance, Ling’s father’s phone was an old Nokia model costing 98 yuan, apart from sending texts and making calls, it had no other functions! One characteristic of this phone is that its call volume is extremely loud. Not only can the caller hear clearly, but even nearby people can hear everything distinctly.

So, even from a distance, Ling Yueyue heard every word her mother said, loud and clear.

Upon hearing her mother’s such righteous words, Ling Yueyue was so angry that she rolled her eyes and began to shake all over.

Ling’s father also noticed Ling Yueyue’s unusual reaction, glanced at her secretly, and said cautiously to her mother on the other end, "Got it, Yueyue gave me three thousand yuan!"

As soon as he said this, he heard her mother’s excited voice on the other end, "Really got it! I told you, she wouldn’t give in unless you took such an approach! Now that you’ve got the money, when are you coming back? The farm work still needs you to come back and do!"

"...!" Ling’s father’s hand holding the phone trembled, a long while later, he finally gathered the courage to say, "However, on the way to the railway station, it was stolen by a pickpocket!"

"What?" Upon hearing Ling’s father, his mother on the other end jumped up immediately, her voice became even sharper, thinner.
