The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 22 Can’t You Afford the Phone Bill?

"WeChat?" His gaze revealed a hint of hesitation and confusion.

Gu Qili leaned forward, pointing to the WeChat icon on the phone screen, "This is the messaging app, it’s really convenient. You can type, you can talk, you can even video chat, and it only uses data, not your phone minutes."

He glanced at it indifferently, with an I-knew-all-about-it-and-don’t-need-your-input kind of confidence, puffed out his chest and disdainfully said, "Can’t you afford your phone bill?"

"..."

How are those two things even related?

From his reaction, it’s clear he has no idea that something as advanced as WeChat even exists. If you don’t know, just admit it, what’s with the pretense of being high and mighty, as if you know everything under the sun?

Gu Qili stuffed her phone back into her pocket and said, "Then you wait a while, I’ll quickly deliver this and be right back."

They were already at Chen Yishu’s hospital room, and the voices inside could faintly be heard. Not wanting to confront Chen Family’s parents, she handed the paperwork to the nurse in charge.

The nurse knocked and entered with the discharge paperwork just as Chen Jiehui, fuming with extreme anger, was about to evidently lower his raised palm, and Yi Yun, somewhat reluctantly, was guarding in front of Chen Yishu. Father and son were both red-faced and tense; the atmosphere was not good. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Mr. Chen, here are the documents. You can be discharged at any time," said the nurse who didn’t want to make trouble, hastily placing the paperwork on the table before quickly leaving.

The discharge was arranged by Gu Qili; now the items were here but the person was gone. Without thinking, it was clear that Chen Jiehui had driven the person away.

Chen Yishu was infuriated, but felt utterly helpless against his own father. If it wasn’t for his coincidental trip to the restroom just earlier, he wouldn’t have let Chen Jiehui bully Qili.

Chen Jiehui also had no alternative; his son had set his heart on Gu Qili, and no matter what he said, it was useless. In the end, he huffily dropped the sentence, "If you insist on liking that kind of promiscuous woman, I won’t stop you. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for your emigration procedures."

"I’m not going abroad." Initially, Chen Jiehui had tried to force him to study abroad, which he had flatly refused, causing the matter to be shelved. Now, with Chen Jiehui raising the same old suggestion, it was naturally met with his vehement opposition.

"You’ll go whether you like it or not," Chen Jiehui said angrily, slamming the door as he left.

Yi Yun, in the end, still felt sorry for her son and hurriedly consoled him, "Yishu, don’t take your dad’s words to heart. That Gu Qili really doesn’t have a good reputation. Just now, I saw her leaving with a rich man."

"Mom, it’s impossible. Qili is not the kind of girl you all think she is. I’ve never seen anyone with both talent and virtue like her; she’s not showy, not pretentious, and she’s kind. I’ve liked her for four whole years and will continue to like her, until I marry her."

"Son, don’t be foolish. Not to mention your father won’t agree, I won’t agree either. For now, rest a bit. I’ll get Xiao Zhao to come and pick you up after the discharge."

After Yi Yun finished speaking, she went after Chen Jiehui, not taking many steps before realizing that Chen Jiehui was sneakily peering out from around a corner.

She walked over and tapped his shoulder; Chen Jiehui immediately turned around and made a shushing gesture, which led Yi Yun to also join him in looking in that direction.

It turned out Gu Qili and Mu Shuoqian were walking out. Although the two weren’t walking shoulder to shoulder in an intimate manner, they weren’t far apart. Gu Qili was occasionally tilting her head to talk to Mu Shuoqian. Although he wasn’t very responsive, his expression was faint as he occasionally moved his thin lips to reply with a few words.
