Chapter 143: Chapter 143 She Lied...

Lin Yebai was still calling Ye Ning, but what unsettled him was that her phone was turned off!

By this time, it had become completely dark outside.

"Uncle Lin, could something have happened to my mom?" Ye Xiaobao also sensed that something was amiss and came over to ask with concern.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yebai quickly put away his phone, "No, nothing will happen. Uncle is here, and I will go pick up your mom right away. You just stay at home and be good. Shall I ask Aunt Xiaoyu to keep you company?"

Ye Xiaobao nodded, "Okay, be careful, Uncle."

Ye Xiaobao had a lot of trust in Uncle Lin. The man had been a big help to him and his mother ever since he was young, so when he said he would pick up his mom, Xiaobao naturally believed him.

But the question was, was he really going to the company to pick up his mom?

When Ye Xiaobao left, he saw him take out his phone and open a software application...

Meanwhile, Ye Ning was stranded on the highway and couldn’t flag down a car.

The place where she was dropped off was on the main thoroughfare of the highway, and there, it was too dangerous for people to stop their cars to give her a lift, especially as night was falling, the drivers, seeing a woman standing there alone, would think it was a scam.

So, it was quite normal that she couldn’t get a ride.

Seeing that she wasn’t able to flag down a car, she had no choice but to walk back in the direction she came from.

Fortunately, the place where she was dropped off was not far onto the highway, so after walking for a bit over an hour, she came off the highway and found a nearby small town.

Once in town, thinking of her child waiting at home and Lin Yebai who had been urging her to return, she quickly found a phone and dialed out as soon as she could.

"Hello? Is this Big Brother Lin? This is Aning."

"Aning? Where exactly are you? Why was your phone off?"

The man on the other end immediately began with anxious questions as soon as the call connected, his tone carrying a hint of irritation.

Being a smart woman, Ye Ning knew he must have gone to the company looking for her, so she didn’t hide anything and explained, "I’m sorry, Big Brother Lin, today... I actually went on a business trip with Ou Mucen. I’m now in B City."

"And then? Aren’t you planning to come back tonight?"

The person on the call didn’t seem surprised by her explanation, but instead just asked indifferently if she planned to return.

Ye Ning paused for a moment, and after looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, she said apologetically, "He’s not finished negotiating, so I probably won’t return tonight, Big Brother Lin, I’m really sorry, I..."

"It’s fine, just focus on your work. I will take care of Xiaobao." With that, the phone on the other end was abruptly hung up.

Ye Ning stood there for a long time before finally hanging up the phone as well...

Big Brother Lin is angry, right? He had never hung up on her before.

Ye Ning felt uneasy and somewhat frustrated, but what she didn’t know was that at that very moment when she was making the call, the man had just reached the highway toll booth on his way to B City.

So she really was with Ou Mucen!

With a stomp on the brake, the white Audi that had been speeding down the asphalt aggressively came to a sudden stop...

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ning saw that night had fully fallen, looked around, and noticed a hotel not far away. Carrying her bag and limping, she made her way toward it.
