Chapitre 100: Sour mood

His personal phone rings in his pocket and reaches to take it out. Seeing the name of her mother, he slid the answer icon. "Mother, that isn't true. I'll handle it." he knows for what reasons his mother has called because the news must have circulated all over the city. It then hits him that Shi Lian must have seen the news as well. 

"Son….the media are standing in from the company, they are on TV. I know there's nothing between but.." she says from the other end. 

"It's complicated. I'll tell you later about this. Take care." He says to her. 

"Alright, son. Please take care of yourself and tell Junjie to take care as well," she says and ends the call. He immediately dials Shi Lia's number but the line appears busy. He dials again but her phone is unreachable. He continues dialing her number again and again but every time the line appears busy or unreachable. He throws the phone to the desk in frustration, shoving his hand in his hair, tugging its roots.
