Chapter 737: Chapter 729: Don’t Tell Her Chapter 737: Chapter 729: Don’t Tell Her This is their own granddaughter, not someone picked up from a pile of trash.
Just look at her father, and you’ll know.
He adores his two grandsons even more than his own son because they are his flesh and blood, born from his daughter who nearly lost her life giving birth to them.
Since they are both beautiful and cute, they are the apples of his eye.
He feels heartache at their slightest cry, let alone when one goes missing.
Mother Lin was still crying on the other end of the line, so Tang Yuxin quickly comforted her with a few words while putting on her shoes and then ran out, picked up the landline, and called Lin Yile.
Yet Lin Yile’s phone was turned off.
...
She called several times, and it was always switched off.
No wonder Mother Lin was so anxious, saying she couldn’t reach Yile; why would the phone be turned off all of a sudden?
She then called Li Jia, who was with Yile every day.
The two of them were inseparable, almost joined at the hip, sharing a dormitory room, let alone spending other times together.
“Are you talking about Lele?”
Li Jia had just finished her busy work and picked up Tang Yuxin’s call.
She was still in her work uniform, exhausted as a dog, and was catching her breath from time to time.
“Lele’s phone was stolen, so she went to buy a new one and to get a new SIM card.”
Her phone was stolen, but why now?
Tang Yuxin hung up the phone, then grabbed her own cell phone to ask Mother Lin about the situation.
“You’re not far from the hospital now, right?
Here’s what we’ll do,” Tang Yuxin thought for a moment, “quickly transfer Qiqi over to me, and I’ll check on her first.
Yile lost her phone and went to get a SIM card replacement.
When she gets back, I’ll tell her then.”
“Yuxin, maybe it’s better not to tell her for now.”
Mother Lin ached for her granddaughter, but she felt the same for her daughter.
We can talk about it when we get there.
If she learns about it now, what can she do?
She would be distraught and cry herself to death.
Don’t they understand their own daughter?
If they told her the truth, Yile would certainly break down.
They had always kept her from seeing the child and spoke disdainfully about her, but weren’t they aware of the situation themselves?
Girls these days love their clothes, shoes, bags, and of course, phones.
The newer phones are getting prettier, and of course, that means we’re switching them out faster.
She was already itching for a new one, but alas, her wallet was light, and besides, her current phone was still in good condition.
What would you do with the old one if you got a new phone?
You can’t just throw it away; that would be such a waste.
“I got it,” Lin Yile pulled out her newly purchased phone, “This is the latest model, the screen is really big, right?”
“Yeah, it’s pretty big,” Li Jia liked it very much and was even pondering when her own phone would break down.
Once it went kaput, she could seize the opportunity to buy a new one.
As for the phone Lin Yile just bought, it was exactly to her taste.
She started playing with it, indulging herself for now, with the thought that once her phone broke, she could come and buy this model.
By then, she would already know how to use it well.
In reality, she was overthinking it.
Her current phone could last another two or three years at least, and if she took care of it, perhaps seven or eight years.
Who knew what new phones would be out by then?
The two were gathered around a single phone, engrossed in whatever they were exploring, simply sitting together with endless topics to discuss.
Tang Yuxin truly wasn’t all that interested in smartphones.
Maybe it was because she was already using a smart device, and the pace of electronic products’ upgrades was much faster than she imagined.
And today’s phones, no matter how elegant or high-performing, can’t compare with the high-end phones of the future, let alone those that easily cost tens of thousands.
Those are in a league of their own.
Although she had never used a high-end phone costing tens of thousands, the few hundred yuan low-end phone she used was far superior to even the best phones available now.
Once you’ve experienced something better, it’s hard to go back to something outdated and eliminated.
The two continued to fuss over the mobile phone.
But Tang Yuxin took out her own phone and stepped outside to make a call to Gu Ning.
“I won’t be back tonight.”
“Not coming back?
Do you have duty tonight?”
Gu Ning was indeed surprised.
It had been a long time since Tang Yuxin had to take duty.
What happened today?
