Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: Specifically for Those Who Can’t Distinguish Clearly

Tong Qian and Li Zixuan were humiliated after hearing these words.

But with a thick skin, Tong Qian said, "This is Capital City, Lu Yichen’s territory. He definitely would be embarrassed to let us pay for our own meal; otherwise, how shameful would that be for him?"

As soon as she said this, Li Zixuan’s face turned beet red.

Luo Qiao laughed and said, "You truly are something, able to talk such nonsense with conviction. It’s quite impressive."

Tong Qian, thinking her point was well made, started laughing, "See? I told you so. When we used to visit his other comrades, it was always them paying. After all, we are guests."

Luo Qiao looked at Li Zixuan, "I really didn’t expect Lu Yichen to be friends with you."

Shaking her head, she turned to Auntie Li, "Auntie Li, you should hurry home. I’m not sure how far it is from here to yours, and you still have to settle in when you get back. Don’t delay."

Auntie Li’s face was extremely unnatural at this moment. She truly hadn’t expected her eldest son’s judgment to be this poor. Just what had he married?

Luo Qiao took five big Unity bills from her bag and pulled Auntie Li aside, "Auntie Li, this is this month’s salary. I’m giving it to you in advance so you’ll have some extra cash for the New Year."

Auntie Li, feeling a bit embarrassed, said to Luo Qiao, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you."

After securing the money, she said, "We’ll be going now."

Once she had finished speaking, she turned to her son, "Grab the child and let’s go. If we hurry, we can catch the noon train."

Tong Qian, however, said, "Can’t we find a car to take us there?"

Li Zixuan didn’t even want to respond to her by this point, saying rather irritably, "Would you hurry up? We’ll miss the train if we’re any later."

Tong Qian reluctantly followed behind.

Luo Qiao escorted them to the front gate.

Li Zixuan turned to Luo Qiao, "Sister-in-law, we’ll be off then. I’ll come to see Brother Lu when I have some time."

Luo Qiao nodded, "Alright then, take care."

After they had walked a distance, they could still hear Tong Qian complaining, "What kind of comrade is he? His wife is so stingy, not even willing to treat us to a meal. Just too petty."

Seeing that her husband remained silent, she said, "Find a public phone booth later and give your comrade a call. Have him send a car for us, he’s a director now, after all."

Luo Qiao, with her keen hearing, was really fed up with that woman.

She went back inside and directly called Lu Yichen again, "Hello, Brother Chen."

"I’m just about to leave. Is there anything else you need?"

"Your comrade Li Zixuan is back. His wife and I don’t see eye to eye, I’ve sent them off. If your comrade calls you again, don’t agree to anything, or I’ll have words with you."

"Did Li Zixuan’s wife upset you?"

"I’ll tell you the details when I get back. Just remember, if he calls, don’t get involved, or I’ll be cross with you."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Lu Yi thought to himself, his wife was actually a very kind person who particularly admired military men. For her to say such things today meant Li Zixuan’s wife must have been very out of line, not winning his wife’s favor.

Putting down the phone, he picked up his car keys and headed out. As soon as he reached the first floor and was about to exit the main entrance, he heard someone from behind shout, "Director, your phone."

Lu Yi went back and picked up the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

On the other end came a woman’s voice, "Hello, is this Director Lu Yi?"

Lu Yi frowned, "Yes, who is this?"

Tong Qian on the other end began to laugh, "I’m Li Zixuan’s wife, Tong Qian. I’ve always heard my Zixuan speak of you."

Lu Yi, reminded of what his wife had just said, asked, "What do you want?"

Tong Qian, not expecting Lu Yi to speak so tersely, said, "Well, Zixuan and I have come back to visit the elders, you see, and taking the bus with the child isn’t so convenient. Could you possibly help in finding a car to take us there?"

Lu Yi chuckled, "It seems Li Zixuan is quite well-off. Always getting picked up and dropped off by a car, huh?"

Tong Qian laughed again, "Not bad, I suppose. Can you tell me what time the car will arrive?"

Lu Yi indifferently said, "Could you put Li Zixuan on the phone? I want to speak with him."

All that could be heard from the receiver was, "Zixuan, come and take the phone... Hurry up... It’s your comrade."

Li Zixuan walked up, clearly annoyed, and spoke into the phone, "Hello, Brother Lu, it’s Zixuan."

Lu Yi asked over the phone, "How long will you be staying this time?"

"I have ten days’ leave, so I can stay about five days at home."

"If your wife doesn’t feel comfortable on a bus, you could take a taxi home. Being a director doesn’t really come with special privileges. Especially since we’re not in the city, I can’t just summon a car. It’s the end of the year and we’re all busy at the office. If it’s really an issue, I could ask my wife to speak to her second brother, since they’ve assigned a company car for his personal use."

Li Zixuan had a sinking feeling in his stomach, thinking ’This is bad,’ and quickly said, "Don’t listen to her nonsense. She’s clueless. She was supposed to call home to let them know we’re safe. Who knew she’d call you?"

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

After Li Zixuan came out, he glared at Tong Qian. Before he could say anything, she asked, "When will the car get here?"

Li Zixuan, with a cold expression, replied, "What car? You really are a troublemaker."

Tong Qian looked incredulous, "So there’s no car to take us?"

Li Zixuan replied testily, "If you dawdle any more, we’ll miss the noon ride back, and we’ll have to wait for the five o’clock one. Or we can walk home."
