Chapter 306: Caught!

306 Caught!

Da Xia had come around and she was eating with grandparents on the table, when suddenly her phone rang;

She immediately took it out of her bag and froze when she saw the caller ID; taking excuse from grandparents, she stepped out to answer the call.

''There isn't enough salad, let me get some more; ''

Grandma opted when she noticed that the salad had finished;

…

''I've told you time and time again, don't call me, do you want to implicate me? What is your problem?''

''Why do you keep on shouting, is not like you can do anything about it? ''

Da Xia took in a deep breath, gritting her teeth, she asked;

''Why did you call? ''

''Well, I have two news for you, first, Liu Wei isn't pursuing the case anymore; I think his lawyer has explained the possibility of losing to him; that is one, secondly we have to continue with our plan of getting rid of that bitch now everything has calmed down…''

Da Xia couldn't believe her ears;

''Did you just hear yourself out? Are you joking or something? We just killed his child! Come on! His grandparents are back, I don't want them finding out that I did something so dreadful and besides, they've promised that I'll marry their grandson, so there is no need going on with the plan…''

Grandma was walking towards the kitchen when she heard some whispers around the corner; she wanted to go on but then, she stopped to know who it was; as she approached, shivers ran down her spine form what she heard;

…Are you joking or something? We just killed his child! Come on! His grandparents are back, I don't want them finding out that I did something so dreadful and besides, they've promised that I'll marry their grandson, so there is no need going on with the plan…''

The hands that held the bowl tightened as her eyes widened in shock; not waiting to hear anymore, she stealthily left to the kitchen; by the time she returned, Da Xia was already back to the dining table with her usual smile on her face;

Grandma was still shocked from what she heard that she couldn't even join in the discussion;

And here she was thinking that she tried to hurt that woman, who would have thought that she had killed a child! Her grandchild at that! That was unforgivable; she would never let such a person enter that family;

After the meal; they sat together in the parlor watching a movie;

''Xia Xia, can you help me with your phone, I left mine upstairs, let me make a quick call? ''

Grandma asked; a smile plastered on her face; Da Xia stiffened a bit when she heard grandma's request, but then she could not refuse, so she slowly gave her the phone;

Grandma quickly went to her call log and copied the last caller's number; then sent it as a message to her own phone; as soon as she sent it, she deleted the message to avoid suspicion.

''Where are you? It's already past two, why do you keep doing this to your mom?''

Grandma feigned annoyance;

''I'm sorry, something came up, but I'll be home soon; ''

He replied;

''Hurry, don't keep me waiting. ''

She ended the call and handed the phone back to Da Xia;

Da Xia's heart has been in her mouth since grandma took her phone, but when she saw her call her son; she calmed down;

After sometime; grandma excused herself and went upstairs; picking her phone, she opened her inbox and a smile broadened her features;

She quickly dialed Liu Wei's number;

''Wei Wei; let's meet, I have something for you. ''

…

For three weeks, Xin Yong's home had been eerily quiet;

She no longer ate together with her parents_ she didn't eat at home anymore to be exact;

Her album was released the previous week and although she had a lot of sales for a starter; it wasn't as enormous as Liling's. Her mom had come to congratulate her, but then she refused to let her into her room;

It was clear that she was no longer annoyed with her but then she could not bear to let her wed that man; her dad too, she was the only child and he couldn't bear to watch her sulk, but that didn't change anything; he still refused to accept him;

''Baby, it's not working! ''

She exclaimed throwing her hands into the air;

Everything was a ploy between her and Jin Yue to know if they would change their mind towards them; but apart from responding to her greetings, nothing has changed,

''We'll have to continue, we can't give up now, can we? ''

She sighed; ''I know, just that, I really want to wear my ring, and let that bitch know that she didn't succeed. ''

Jin Yue laughed; ''Yeah, me too; but then, we can't do all these without their blessings; ''

''I know, but my dad doesn't seem as though he's going to change his mind anytime soon; ''

Xin Yong rolled on her bed; hugging her pillow frustratingly;

Jin Yue was quiet for a moment;

''let's do this, don't leave your room for a whole week; let's see their reaction ''

''What! Are you kidding me? How am I going to eat? I'm going to starve! '' She giggled at the suggestion which was extremely funny.

''I thought about that, you'll sneak out at night and while they think you are still sulking in your room, I'll take you to eat whatever you want; how about that? ''

''Baby; what of breakfast and lunch, I don't get to eat those?''

Her eyes widened in shock;

Jin Yue scratched his head;

''Erh, about that, we'll pack enough food to last for the next two meals and I'll make sure to keep you company all the way; okay? ''

She pouted;

''I don't like this idea…''

''Trust me, before three days, your mom will come knocking on your door. ''

''It better work; else I'll skin you alive! ''

He chuckled;
