Chapter 98 – Self-deception
Everyone is not in a good mood right now, but for Dean Lan, he still answers politely no matter who calls at any time of the day or night.
“Hello? Dean, how are you doing now?” Charmaine Qiu’s sweet voice came in, but now Dean Lan heard anything that felt ordinary.
Now also in the bar, the sound heard across the street is probably also very noisy, but this is not cared for, just barely heard each other’s voices.
“Pretty good.” Dean Lan habitually hides his current emotions and moods, more because he does not want to transmit his negative energy to others, just think all let himself bear on the line.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Huh? Is it? But how do I feel your voice is very low ah, usually you are no more low than now so … what happened to you?”
Charmaine Qiu, who is interested in Dean Lan’s personal affairs or what’s going on around him, still prefers to know what’s really going on with him now.
Just now, with the phrase “it’s fine”, the average person can hear that Dean Lan is lying, but Charmaine Qiu always likes to deceive himself and always believes everything he says.
“I’m fine, just a little throat problem.” Dean Lan still decided to insist on hiding his current condition, not wanting others to worry because of him.
When his buddies heard this, they felt heartbroken for Dean Lan, who is also a relatively introverted person, and it was really quite tiring to bear so much.
“OK, OK, you stop talking about it, I’m going to go to Shanghai to see you and come and have some fun by the way.” Charmaine Qiu decided decisively that she had to see what was going on, otherwise she wouldn’t feel comfortable.
But then again, she has been away from Shanghai for quite some time, and after so long, it’s time to come back for a visit and say hello to those family members by the way.
Dean Lan just wanted to tell her that she didn’t have to come to Shanghai, it was such a hassle, but before she had a chance to answer, she was hung up on the other side.
Anyway, hang also hung, he did not bother to call back back, continue to take several bottles of wine, but also to drink to kill their sorrows, to get themselves drunk half to death.
“Is this really good for you? Just how far are you trying to deceive yourself?” Dean Lan’s buddies, seeing him in this half-dead and half-alive state now, wondered who they knew in the end.
But, Dean Lan doesn’t care what his buddies think of him now, getting drunk is the right way to go.
Now on the other side of the phone, Charmaine Qiu’s mood is very excited, after all, she has been away from Shanghai for quite some time, and it is still quite happy to go back suddenly.
“Shouldn’t I talk to Sansa Ran about this matter? After all, it’s been so long since I’ve seen her.” Charmaine Qiu began to agonize again.
I guess Sansa Ran also misses her a bit, the two have not seen each other for so long, by the way to see a face is also quite good ah, with this is not a problem.
“Hey, hey, hey, I’m going to go back to Shanghai, I’m going to see the person I love, and I’m going to see you.” Even on the phone, Charmaine Qiu’s excited heart could not be concealed.
Sansa Ran was of course quite happy to hear this great news. “OK, I’m always ready to meet you, ah, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you.”
It was as if the two were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years, and Sansa Ran was almost speechless with excitement when she heard the great news that they were ready to meet.
Especially Charmaine Qiu, now that she is going back to Shanghai, can it be calming to see not only the person you have longed for, but also your old friend whom you have been separated from for a long time?
After Sansa Ran hung up the phone, she started mumbling there, “Oh my God, oh my God, suddenly I’m coming back, suddenly I’m going to see you, why am I so happy!!!”
But Dan next to Sansa Ran just felt strange, but I could hear it in her language, mostly because she was going to meet with an old friend, right?
“Meeting up with an old friend, huh? Well, that’s nice to see. Good luck.” Dan seems to think Sansa Ran is going out to meet up now.
But this comment made Sansa Ran cry and laugh: “Hahahahaha, you think I’m going out now? Not so anxious yet.”
Once he heard that, it made Dan a little embarrassed, and he didn’t even know how to salvage the situation now, but he also knew that he didn’t need to salvage it now.
The two cooked together and were soon ready to serve. Jeffrey, who was still sitting in the living room, could smell the aroma of those dishes from a distance.
But he always has a strong character, trying to control himself not to eat those dishes there, always thinking that those dishes are made by that strange man, can not eat.
“Jeffrey, hurry up and come over to eat, the food will get cold later.” Jeffrey’s ears again heard the usual voice of Sansa Ran calling himself to dinner.
Always obedient, he hesitated at this place: “Should I go over there or not? Go there must be that strange person sitting next to me again, not to go then it seems that I do not obey …”
This problem is very difficult in the eyes of a child who has always been obedient, and the real solution to the problem is almost more difficult than the sky.
But to keep his common title of “obedient child”, Jeffrey still went to his mother’s for dinner.
“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Jeffrey walked over very helplessly, if it weren’t for the fact that the “new dad” was there now, would Jeffrey have had to be as embarrassed as he was now?
Yes, it is not necessary. Everyone under the sun says to be considerate of parents, but how many parents are considerate of their children? Well, no.
Sansa Ran has not yet understood what is in Jeffrey’s mind, so it is business as usual.
“Jeffrey why are you walking so slow lately, I told you, the food is getting cold, next time move faster.” Sansa Ran criticized Jeffrey seriously and dotingly.
Originally, in the eyes of everyone, Jeffrey was an obedient child who would not talk back, but it seems that this time the situation is not quite the same as before.
“If there wasn’t some weirdo in our house, I wouldn’t have to be slow, and I’m mostly slow because I don’t want to see someone come and break up my family’s relationship.” Jeffrey said lazily.
The two adults across from each other, and not some stupid people, both heard what Jeffrey was actually expressing and did not refute Jeffrey.
But in this case, the one who is really embarrassed and feels helpless is most likely the one who is not the family Dan, right?
