The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 562 - 559: Do you need something from me?

Hua Xiaomo quickly called Dong Xiaoyou. The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

"Hua Xiaomo? Is that you... What do you want from me?" Dong Xiaoyou asked slowly on the other end.

It had been a long time since they had last been in touch. In fact, since Hua Xiaomo started working in City B, they had rarely contacted each other. However, whenever Hua Xiaomo returned to City A, Dong Xiaoyou would chat with her. But with the distance between them, their communication was infrequent.

Whether intentional or not, their close friendship now felt somewhat distant. So, Dong Xiaoyou was quite surprised to suddenly receive a call from her childhood friend.

Hua Xiaomo paused on the other end of the call, thought for a moment, and then said, "Dong Xiaoyou, has something happened at home? I heard from my brother that something big happened to your family. So, I’m calling to check up on you and find out what exactly occurred. If you really need my help, of course, I won’t refuse."

Alright, although she’d said that, there was a limit to this help. She couldn’t possibly sell her entire company to aid Dong Xiaoyou. No friend was that generous, especially now that her game company was on the rise. She certainly couldn’t come up with 80 million to help her.

Besides, for a best friend, that kind of sacrifice would be more than doing right by her. Of course, she wouldn’t stand idly by if Dong Xiaoyou genuinely faced trouble; she would find another way to help her.

Dong Xiaoyou hesitated for a long time on the other end, her expression unsettled. After thinking it over, she said, "Hua Xiaomo, thank you for your concern. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with my family. I’m doing quite well in City A, really well, in fact. I’m sorry to have troubled you."

"Really well? Are you really okay? But if you’re fine, why would my brother call me? Tell me, Dong Xiaoyou, what exactly happened? Moreover, if there really is an issue you can’t resolve, you should tell me, because no matter what, we are friends. I can’t just ignore your problems. Besides, aren’t you about to become my sister-in-law? My brother, naturally, will care a lot about your issues."

This sentence made Dong Xiaoyou feel slightly uncomfortable. Was it because of her brother that Hua Xiaomo was calling her?

Sigh, that’s how people are. When they get rich, they can forget so many things. She will change.

Dong Xiaoyou said nothing on the surface, but deep down, she definitely had her reservations.

Soon she replied, "Hua Xiaomo, I really appreciate your concern, but as for our family’s issues, I just want to solve them by myself. I don’t want to trouble you with your kind intentions. I think I can handle my family’s issues on my own."

Hua Xiaomo’s amber eyes flickered with an unreadable light, but she said nothing. After a moment, she quickly responded, "Alright then, I hope you can solve your family’s problems. That’s all I have to say. I’m going to pick up the kids now. Xiao You, let’s just leave it at that for now. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye." Dong Xiaoyou hung up the phone quickly, her emotions in turmoil.

If only she had Hua Xiaomo’s ability to run a large company! Then her family wouldn’t be in this mess.

Now, her brother owed so much debt, and she didn’t know what to use to pay it back.

The loan sharks even threatened to kill her brother if he didn’t repay them. Was there any justice left in this world? It seemed everything had turned so dark.

Oh, what should she do? This world truly offered no glimmer of hope.

Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door. Dong Xiaoyou walked over and peeped through the peephole. Seeing a handsome man with a child outside, she opened the door.

"Mommy, Mommy, I really missed you so much! Mommy, I really love you! I missed you to death! Why didn’t you come pick me up today? Uncle came to get me instead." Xiao Mei clung to her mother, acting coquettishly the moment she saw her.

Of course, Dong Xiaoyou had insisted her daughter use the word "Uncle." Initially, her daughter wasn’t used to calling Wen Yajun "Dad," so Dong Xiaoyou had her call him "Uncle" for the time being.

"Xiao Mei, you should listen to Mommy. Mommy was busy, so she couldn’t pick you up. Don’t be mad at Mommy, okay? Mommy still loves you very, very much. Mommy will take you to see lots of cartoons in the future. You’ve seen Balabala Little Magic Fairy, haven’t you? Didn’t you say you want to be a Little Fairy? So, you must be as obedient as a Little Fairy." Dong Xiaoyou doted on her daughter, then turned to Wen Yajun beside her, her eyes brimming with a hint of a smile.

"Wen Yajun, thank you for going to the trouble of picking up the child. I’m truly grateful," Dong Xiaoyou said, feeling that Wen Yajun was indeed a very considerate man.

But for some reason, she still felt he wasn’t quite right for her. After all, he was an unmarried man, and she came with a child. Furthermore, Wen Yajun’s mother didn’t seem to approve of their relationship. If they forced themselves to be together under such circumstances, it would surely be uncomfortable for everyone involved.

For various reasons, Dong Xiaoyou had thus far refrained from agreeing to get engaged to Wen Yajun.

However, Wen Yajun genuinely loved Dong Xiaoyou with all his heart, and he wanted her to accept him sincerely.

"It’s nothing, really. I’d treat your daughter as my own. Dong Xiaoyou, don’t overthink things, okay? I believe your brother’s issues will be resolved soon. You can rest assured I’ll do everything I can," Wen Yajun said, looking at Dong Xiaoyou with concern, his eyes shining with a bright light.

Dong Xiaoyou looked at her daughter and gently stroked her head, saying softly, "Little treasure, why don’t you go to your room and play with your toys for a while? Mommy will come play with you very soon, okay?"

Xiao Mei looked at Dong Xiaoyou and Wen Yajun, blinked, and said cheerfully, "Haha, I know! Mommy wants to talk to Uncle. Then I won’t disturb your conversation. I won’t be the third wheel. I’ll go play with my toys in my room. I have so many toys! Little white rabbits, little teddy bears, Big Tiger, and little squirrels—so many toys! I really like them a lot."
