Chapter 1094: Listening (Monthly Pass 50+)
Liao Zongxian's tone was a little heavy: "I really don't know how she survived all these years, hey, it's my brother who is not good, I didn't protect her back then, and let her suffer......"
"Is Yuexia's daughter by your side?"
"Can I say a few words to her?"
The old man of the Liao family replied: "She is resting in the room, I will call her here." β
The old lady of the Liao family grabbed the microphone: "That's it, Zongxian, you go to sleep for a while." β
"After two hours, I'll ask her to call your office. β
Liao Zongxian hung up the phone and went back to the bedroom with his daughter-in-law, who had been sitting next to him.
Lying on the bed, he smiled bitterly: "Where can I sleep now!"
His daughter-in-law was extremely interested in the content of the phone call just now, so she simply sat up with him and chatted.
Half an hour later, in the Liao family's restaurant, the old man of the Liao family, the old lady, Liao Renhui, Gu Yiyi, Zhuang Moxiang, Shao Lietan, and Zhuge Minghao sat around the dining table and had dinner.
The old lady of the Liao family explained: "Yiyi, your uncle is in Kinmen and can't come back." β
"Your aunt and uncle took her children back to her parents' house early this morning to celebrate her father's birthday, so I didn't inform her to come back tonight. β
"Your second uncle's family lives in Gao City and takes care of the family business. β
"I didn't tell them to come back, not because I didn't want to let you see you, but because the less people knew about your coming, the better. β
Gu Yiyi responded with a smile: "You are thoughtful. β
The old lady of the Liao family saw that Gu Yiyi was a little clear, and she was happy in her heart: "Although your second uncle is more tactful, he is sincere to his family. β
"If I know you're here and don't see you, I'll blame us. β
The old man of the Liao family picked up the chopsticks: "Let's have dinner." β
Liao Renhui has accepted Gu Yiyi and no longer bothered about her appearance: "I asked the chef in the kitchen to cook some special dishes on Taiwan Island or the dishes that are more popular now. β
"His craftsmanship is good, Yiyi, Yiyi's fiancΓ©, and friends eat more. β
"You should try the 'Ejiao Casserole Ginseng' first, it is very nourishing to the body. After speaking, he specially put a sea cucumber in the casserole for Gu Yiyi.
Ah Xiang, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly distributed a small bowl of "Ejiao Casserole Ginseng" for everyone else at the table.
Gu Yiyi ate the sea cucumber and drank a small half bowl of soup, and saw that Liao Renhui had been looking at her with a smile, so she politely replied: "The sea cucumber melts in the mouth, and it uses live sea cucumber, and the ejiao in the dish is also a high-grade ejiao, which is indeed good for the body." β
"If we don't have a seaside area, it's hard to eat live sea cucumbers. β
The old lady of the Liao family didn't expect Gu Yiyi to be so knowledgeable, and said with great interest: "I know that the sea cucumbers eaten in the inland areas are all dried products, and they can only be used for vegetables after they have been soaked." β
"You try this 'frozen top tofu', which is a mixture of frozen oolong tea leaves with tofu, diced mushrooms, and minced meat, which is a cold dish that we often eat here in summer. β
Gu Yiyi tasted it and praised: "The fragrance is light and elegant, very distinctive!"
An hour later, the sumptuous dinner was over.
The old man of the Liao family said: "Yiyi, wait for another half an hour, you can call Zongxian." β
"Before dinner, I called him to tell him the good news about the safety of the moonset, and he was so excited that he wanted to say a few words to you. β
Gu Yiyi asked, "Will anyone listen to what I say on the phone?"
The old man of the Liao family was stunned for a moment: "After I retired, my family dismantled the military line phone." β
Gu Yiyi raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure that no one is listening on the phone now?"
The old man of the Liao family frowned: "I really can't guarantee it." β
"If there is really a monitor, wouldn't the content of my phone call with Zong Xian be known to others!"
"And the content of my phone calls with the eldest and second......"
The old lady of the Liao family slowly let go of the frowning brow just now: "We have two telephones in our house, one is for daily use, and the other is specially used to call Zongxian. β
"Luckily, there was nothing confidential about the content of our previous phone calls. β
"It's just the content of today's phone call, and it's better not to be known to outsiders. β
Gu Yiyi thought for a while: "I think even if it is monitored, it is only for the telephone that is in contact with the outside of the island." β
"It is possible that your government is conducting surveillance, and there is another possibility that it is Bai Jitang's surveillance. β
Because when he began to want to remarry a few years ago, it cannot be ruled out that he wants to regain his only son. β
Liao Renhui suddenly remembered something: "No wonder when he met me half a year ago, he kept emphasizing that my eldest grandson should not look for a foreign daughter-in-law in the United States." β
"He also said that we have a lot of good girls on Taiwan Island, and we can choose one of them. β
The old lady of the Liao family narrowed her eyes: "Why don't you tell me such an important thing!"
"You can't think about many things, do you want people to cheat your son's children again?"
Liao Renhui was a little frustrated: "At that time, I just thought that he thought that the child was old, so he said this. β
"Now that I think about it, it should have been that time when I had a phone call with Zongxian's daughter-in-law, and she mentioned that a local socialite was crazy about pursuing my grandson, and he knew about it. β
"I have to be careful all the time. β
Gu Yiyi suggested: "Send a letter in the future." β
"And this time, I have to leave earlier!"
The old man and the old lady of the Liao family were also shocked when they remembered the two phone calls in the afternoon and just now, although they did not explicitly say Gu Yiyi's identity on the phone, but they said that she came from the mainland.
The old man of the Liao family immediately responded: "Yes, when will you leave?"
Gu Yiyi glanced at Zhuang Moxiang: "It's about one or two o'clock in the second half of the night." β
The old man of the Liao family was a little worried: "Didn't you agree with your companions to come tomorrow morning to pick you up?"
Gu Yiyi smiled: "It's okay, we will inform them to pick them up in advance." β
Ignoring the puzzled expressions of the two old men, he said, "Can you tell me about the specific situation of the Bai family?"
"For example, where is their residence, do all the members of the Bai family live together or do each of the sons live separately?......
The old lady of the Liao family thought that Gu Yiyi just wanted to know about her grandfather's situation, so she answered wholeheartedly.
Gu Yiyi listened carefully to the old lady of the Liao family's answer, and specially asked Liao Renhui to draw a map of the location of the Bai Mansion and the other two sons of the Bai family, as well as the distribution map of the houses in the Bai Mansion.
The old lady of the Liao family quipped: "Yiyi, after you go home, do you have to show the drawings for your mother to supplement the explanation?"
