My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 894 - 905 Verbal battle
Chapter 894: 905 Verbal battle
"Mom, I’m not coming back, I’m really busy at work these days!" Yan Bing stuttered nervously.
"You, always so busy, must have time to rest, right? No matter how busy, you still need to eat, don’t you? Do you really not even have time to eat?" Yan’s mother chided.
Yan Bing continued to lie. "The company has a lot of things going on recently, and I really can’t get away. Mom, I’ll come home when it’s less busy, okay?"
"But tomorrow is the weekend, don’t you rest on the weekends?" Yan’s mother persisted.
"Ah, I have to work overtime tomorrow!" Yan Bing lied again.
Su Yueze glared at this woman and asked in a particularly angry whisper, "Did I ask you to work overtime? When did I ask you to work overtime?"
Lin Xiangwan stuck out her tongue and apologized to him in sign language.
But this was not the end of it. Yan’s mother, clearly angered, continued over the phone, "Bingbing, what kind of company are you in that always makes you work overtime? And who is this boss? He’s exploiting his employees’ rest time, not even allowing you to come home for meals on Saturdays. Such a boss should be sued!"
Yan’s mother was really furious, and her voice was loud.
No matter how much Yan Bing tried to cover up, it was in vain; her voice was clearly audible to Su Yueze’s ears.
Su Yueze felt even more wronged. They were saying he was a bad boss? Who else as a boss would care so much for their employee’s wellbeing, feeling heartache seeing a subordinate grow thin, and even trying to find her a boyfriend?
He was so considerate, yet ended up being misunderstood by someone’s parents. Wasn’t this just the height of injustice?
Yan Bing glanced at Su Yueze, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Su Yueze frowned and said softly, "Come home tomorrow!"
Yan Bing shook her head incessantly. She couldn’t go home now; once home, she was bound to slip up!
"Go home!" Su Yueze said again.
Yan Bing still shook her head.
The scolding from Yan’s mother did not let up. "Bingbing, you’d better quit that company. Otherwise, I could use my connections to find you a job in a public institution. It’ll be more relaxing for a girl like you."
"Mom, my job is pretty good right now!"
"What’s so good about it? Sure, the income might be a bit higher, but look at the extra hours you’re working compared to others. People at public institutions work only four and half days a week, two hours in the morning, two in the afternoon, and they get paid triple for working on holidays. They get annual leave, travel allowances... Look at you, working day and night, I doubt you’re earning much more on average! Plus you’re dealing with a heartless boss who doesn’t treat you like a human being!"
"Mom..." Yan Bing’s face flushed red.
Oh, her mom, couldn’t she stop spouting nonsense? It was making things very... difficult for her!
"I have to say it, our family doesn’t lack the money I’m making. Mom and dad have already saved enough for you. You shouldn’t work so hard as a girl, and sooner or later with Xu Ming... you’ll be provided for!"
A bitter feeling instantly welled up in Yan Bing’s heart. Provided for?
Following him was a nightmare for her entire life.
Su Yueze listened on the side, fuming with anger. Was he, as a boss, even worse than that despicable man who had abandoned Yan Bing?
Just as Yan Bing sat in her sadness, Su Yueze suddenly said to her, "Yan Bing, we have a day off tomorrow, and the boss has given you a three-day vacation; in total, five days. Where do you plan to go?"
"What? Bingbing, you dared to lie to mom and you actually have five days off? You have five days off and you’re not coming home, where do you plan to go?" Yan’s mother shouted even more angrily.
Pulled back to reality by her mother’s shrill voice, Yan Bing hurriedly explained, "Mom, I don’t have five days off, I don’t!"
"You dare to lie to me; I heard what your colleague said!"
"He’s talking nonsense!" Yan Bing retorted, then waited, annoyed and angry, for Su Yueze’s response.
Su Yueze wore an expression full of grievance, full of apology. "Bingbing, I’m sorry, did I say something wrong? I shouldn’t have said you took five days off!"
"Enough, stop talking!" Yan Bing shouted angrily.
Yan Bing’s mother was especially angry. "Someone tells the truth and you get angry, is that it? You can be upset, but then you even dare to shout at them, what are you shouting for!"
Su Yueze spoke into the phone. "Auntie, Bingbing is always so fierce to me, the newcomer; you should really teach her a lesson!"
As soon as Yan Bing’s mother heard this, she got annoyed with her daughter. "Look at you, you should be getting along with your colleagues, why are you bullying the newcomer?"
Yan Bing was nearly driven mad with anger. "Alright, Mom, I’ll come back tomorrow, I’m busy with something now, I won’t talk to you anymore!"
"You child... well, don’t forget, invite Xu Ming to come home for dinner tomorrow night. You two have registered your marriage, now you’re family, we haven’t even had a meal together!"
"Mom, he has to work tomorrow!"
"You’re lying to me!"
"I’m not!"
"Not lying about what?"
"We’ll talk about it tomorrow!"
In a rush, Yan Bing hung up the phone.
Afterwards, she glared at him, even though he was the boss.
Su Yueze held his wine glass with a triumphant smile.
Yan Bing looked at him angrily. "Why did you have to say that?"
Su Yueze was very satisfied watching her angry little demeanor, her face wasn’t pale anymore, it had gained a bit of rosiness, and her eyes sparkled with tiny flames, bright and spirited, particularly attractive.
Only this kind of animated, charming Yan Bing was truly alive.
"Why can’t I say that? Your mother has been misunderstanding me as a bad boss, and she’s even inciting you to resign, I must protect my own interests, I can’t just let my employee quit, can I?"
"So what if my mom misunderstands? She’s not going to eat you or drink your blood, why are you opposing me?" Yan Bing continued angrily. "Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me by saying that?"
"What trouble?" Su Yueze asked her.
"My mom wants me to bring Xu Ming home for dinner tomorrow, what should I do?" Lin Xiangwan asked.
Su Yueze glared at her. "How could you possibly bring him?"
"Why would I bring him? I’ve already broken up with him!"
Su Yueze smiled, then said fiercely, "You know you’ve broken up with him? Since you’ve broken up, why can’t you tell your parents!"
"..." Yan Bing was rendered speechless.
"Miss, don’t tell me you think you can still be together with Xu Ming..." Su Yueze posed the question back to her.
Yan Bing shook her head vigorously. "Of course not, it’s totally impossible between him and me!"
"Then you should be honest with the elders; you shouldn’t be deceiving your parents about such matters. Otherwise, if your uncle and aunt ran into Xu Ming’s parents, and they’re still in the dark, imagine what position you’d be putting them in?" Su Yueze countered.
On reflection, Yan Bing realized that was indeed the case.
