Chapter 300 Ignore Them
Ma Junjie's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously tensed up. The blush on his face hadn't faded yet, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Liu Bingbing stood behind Ma Junjie and patted him on the shoulder.
He said in a low voice.
"Brother Jie, go!"
"My aunt, she doesn't eat people."
Ma Junjie hesitated for a moment, then steeled himself and walked over, keeping his head down and not daring to look Liu Jialing in the eye.
Carina Lau leaned against the doorframe, her gaze sweeping lightly over Ma Junjie's flushed ears.
He said softly,
"My dad called yesterday to ask about you. He needs to see you. You should go there as soon as possible."
Ma Junjie kept his head down, but he could feel Liu Jialing's gaze on him, which was frighteningly hot.
He nodded quickly, his voice weak.
"Okay... okay, Sister Liu, I understand, I'll be right there."
His voice trembled slightly, and he didn't fully lift his head, afraid of meeting Carina Lau's eyes and recalling those suffocating scenes.
Hearing this, Liu Bingbing raised her hand and readily chimed in.
"Auntie, I'm going with Jie! I haven't seen Grandpa in ages, I miss him!"
Carina Lau glanced at her but didn't say anything, which was taken as tacit approval.
Then, Carina Lau turned around, pushed open the bedroom door, and went inside.
With a "bang," the door slammed shut, cutting off the view from outside.
Only when the bedroom door closed did Ma Junjie breathe a sigh of relief, his tense body instantly collapsing.
Liu Bingbing leaned over, patted his shoulder, and said with a grin,
"Brother Jie, why were you acting like a child who did something wrong? She won't eat you like I did!"
Ma Junjie glared at her, annoyed, and said helplessly.
"It's all because of you! If you talk nonsense again, see how I deal with you!"
Liu Bingbing stuck out her tongue, stopped arguing, and just held his hand, urging him on.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and get ready to go to Grandpa's house!"
"I have a feeling that my grandfather contacting you means something good is going to happen."
Ma Junjie didn't say anything and went back to the room with Liu Bingbing.
The two quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went out.
After going downstairs, Ma Junjie hailed a taxi, gave Liu Xiong's address, and the car slowly started moving towards its destination.
The carriage was quiet. Liu Bingbing leaned against the window, watching the scenery rushing by outside, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Ma Junjie leaned back in his seat, his mind a jumble of thoughts. One moment he was thinking about the awkward eye contact with Carina Lau, the next he was thinking about what Liu Bingbing had said. He felt a mix of emotions.
Just then, Ma Junjie's phone rang, breaking the silence in the carriage.
Ma Junjie was startled. He reached for his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and his brows furrowed instantly.
It was Li Yuanyuan calling.
He felt a little strange. Although he and Li Yuanyuan had exchanged phone numbers, Li Yuanyuan had never contacted him.
What brings you on the phone today?
Ma Junjie hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.
He brought the phone to his ear and asked politely,
"Good morning, Sister Yuan. What's up?"
Li Yuanyuan's anxious voice, tinged with panic, immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Ah Jie, where are you?"
"Something terrible has happened! There are two or three people squatting outside your door, knocking on it since yesterday afternoon and calling your name repeatedly..."
"I was busy at work and didn't notice, but when I woke up this morning, I found they were still there. They had been watching over you for a whole day and night!"
Ma Junjie's brows furrowed instantly; he had a bad feeling.
"Sister Yuan, who are they? Did they say anything?"
"I went to ask," Li Yuanyuan said, her voice tinged with helplessness.
"They said they were your brother and sister-in-law, and that they needed to talk to you urgently."
"Ah Jie, is this true? They've been arguing at the door the whole time, and the neighbors are getting upset. They almost called the police, but thankfully I managed to calm them down."
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie sneered.
As expected, Liu Dongmei came to their door.
Based on his understanding of Liu Dongmei, this kind of tantrum and shamelessness was exactly what she did best; she would not give up until she got what she wanted.
Ma Junjie's face darkened, and he said in an icy tone,
"Sister Yuan, ignore them, they're all scoundrels! Lock the door, pretend you didn't hear anything, and if someone calls the police, let them handle it!"
"This?" Li Yuanyuan on the other end of the line was somewhat surprised.
Before he could speak, Ma Junjie added,
"Sister Yuan, that woman is crazy, don't get entangled with her."
"By the way, I won't be going back for now. They'll leave naturally after a while when they don't get any benefits from it."
Li Yuanyuan on the other end of the phone was stunned; she clearly hadn't expected Ma Junjie to say that.
Li Yuanyuan remained silent for a few seconds before hesitatingly speaking.
"But... Ah Jie, that woman complained to me that her daughter is seriously ill. She came here for treatment, but spent all her savings, and now she doesn't even have the money for the trip home..."
"She sounded quite pitiful, and she was indeed holding a child. I felt sorry for her and lent her a thousand yuan."
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie lost his temper and almost jumped up in anger, his tone becoming extremely agitated.
"Sister Yuan, you've been fooled! She's a liar; not a single word she says is true!"
"She just scammed me out of one... Never mind, Sister Yuan, you absolutely can't give her any more money!"
"I'll pay you back the 1000 yuan later!"
Li Yuanyuan sighed, finding it somewhat absurd, and said dejectedly,
"Ah Jie, forget it, it's not much. Just consider it as buying food for that kid."
"Alright, I understand. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Li Yuanyuan hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Ma Junjie's face remained frighteningly dark, a surge of anger burning within him.
He didn't know why, but now whenever he heard the name Liu Dongmei, he would feel inexplicably irritable and easily angered.
Liu Bingbing sensed something was wrong and leaned over to ask,
"Brother Jie, what's wrong?"
"Who called? What do you mean, a scammer?"
Ma Junjie raised his head, stared at Liu Bingbing, and took a deep breath.
After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand, trying his best to calm himself down.
"It's alright, Bingbing, he's just a scoundrel."
"Never mind it, it's disgusting and annoying to talk about."
Seeing that Ma Junjie didn't want to say more, Liu Bingbing didn't press him further and obediently nodded.
The taxi sped along and soon arrived at the gate of Liu Xiong's villa.
After the car came to a stop, Ma Junjie paid the fare and got out of the car with Liu Bingbing.
Looking at the magnificent villa in front of him, Ma Junjie felt quite emotional.
The last time I came here was to look for Liu Bingbing.
This time, she came with Liu Bingbing, and the two have basically confirmed their relationship.
Liu Bingbing, familiar with the place, took Ma Junjie's hand, walked to the door, and pressed the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened, and a voluptuous and charming girl in her early thirties came to greet us.
"Miss Bingbing, Mr. Ma, the master is already waiting for you in the living room."
Liu Bingbing and Ma Junjie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.
Just as I was wondering, a hearty laugh came from inside the room.
"Hahaha!"
"Ah Jie, Bingbing, you've finally arrived!"
