My Little Witch 03:1

  After seeing off Hai Jufu, Zhang Jin did not lie back on the sofa, but instead seemed to remember something and picked up the phone on the small table by the sofa, dialing a long number of over ten digits. As soon as the call connected, he couldn't wait to spray saliva with an angry voice: "What's wrong? It's me. Ye Hong, are you sick or something? How could you tell my mom that I don't want kids? When did I ever say that? Aren't you slandering me?"

  On the other end of the phone, Ye Hong was not intimidated by Zhang Jin's former husband's roar at all. As soon as Zhang Jin's voice fell, she took advantage of her high-pitched female voice and shouted back with an even higher decibel: "What are you yelling about? Who are you trying to scare? Do you think I'm afraid of you?! Besides, can this be blamed on me? Mom keeps calling me every now and then to urge me on this matter, what can I say? I couldn't tell mom that we've already divorced, could I? Besides, this is a matter between the two of us, so isn't it only natural to make you the scapegoat?"

  Obviously, Ye Hong didn't take Zhang Jin's accusations seriously at all. Zhang Jin could even hear a hint of complacency in her high-pitched but still sweet voice. Being able to be unreasonable with such confidence, among the people Zhang Jin knew, Ye Hong was also one of a kind!

  Ye Hong's words made Zhang Jin's anger even more intense, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Then can't you just say that because of your business trip and being stationed outside, you basically have no time?"

  "You're so stupid, isn't that just shifting all the blame onto me? Mom wouldn't scold me for nothing, I'm not that foolish!" Although he wasn't yelling anymore, Ye Hong's tone was still so smug that it made Zhang Jin's teeth itch.

  "It's all your responsibility, isn't it?! You didn't say anything, so I will call Mom later and tell her that because you've been sent on a long business trip, we won't be able to have kids for the next few years!" Zhang Jin said viciously.

  Ye Hong's tone was still calm and relaxed: "Suit yourself, if Mom calls to scold me because of this, I'll just tell her that we're already divorced! And I'll also tell her it was you who initiated it!"

  Ye Hong's threat was apparently more effective, and Zhang Jin, who had been furious like a lion, suddenly became a withered eggplant. Zhang Jin could imagine that if his mother knew he had messed up her favorite daughter-in-law, she would make a big fuss. It would definitely make Zhang Jin cry bitterly and regretfully, it's the end of the world.

  People under the eaves, can't help but bow their heads...... A dragon swimming in shallow waters is teased by a shrimp, a tiger fallen into a humble state is bullied by a dog...... Only petty people and women are difficult to raise...... Petty people get arrogant when they succeed...... In an instant, several sentences full of philosophical ancient sayings flashed through Zhang Jin's mind like lightning, making him suddenly understand the meaning of these words. Who let himself have a small tail in someone else's hands? So Zhang Jin, who was short of breath, had to soften his tone, and reluctantly changed the subject: "You're not in Malaysia, how did your mother get your number? You wouldn't be one of those people who don't even change their number when going abroad? Long-distance international roaming isn't cheap."

  Ye Hong's voice was even more triumphant, as if he couldn't wait to beat the drum and celebrate his victory in this round of verbal sparring with Zhang Jin: "Idiot, don't you know there's a function called 'call transfer'? And for some people's phones, I've set it up so that I pay the fee. So Mom doesn't even know I changed my phone number, let alone that I'm on a business trip! This is all part of my meticulous plan... Hehe..."

  Zhang Jin rolled his eyes and was speechless, took two deep breaths before gritting his teeth and saying: "Remember, you're not my wife anymore. From now on, just call my mom Auntie. Don't... don't call her 'Mom' so intimately." With that, he hung up the phone heavily.

  In a high-end apartment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a stunningly beautiful young woman smiled complacently into the receiver and said: "What's wrong? You sound angry. Do you want to bite me? Where do you want to bite?"

  However, what came from the receiver was a 'beep' of a disconnected call. It was like a basin of cold water poured on her head, the beautiful young woman's triumphant smile instantly disappeared, and her good-looking eyebrows were immediately raised, her cheeks puffed up like a toad, gritting her teeth and saying: "Dead pig head, how dare you hang up on me first! Hmph, wait for it, I won't let you off!"

  Zhang Jin didn't give Ye Hong a chance to retort and hung up the phone abruptly. His unprofessional angry face instantly dissolved, and his mouth couldn't help but curve into a sly smile, "You stinky pig head, I'm not giving you a chance to fight back, I'll suffocate you, heh heh!"

  Actually, Zhang Jin wasn't as angry as he seemed about Ye Hong's unreasonable behavior towards his mom, which led to his mom scolding him. To be honest, even though they were already divorced, he still enjoyed the feeling of bickering with Ye Hong. That feeling was just like when they were together before, sweet amidst the fiery arguments. No matter how hard Zhang Jin tried to deny it in his words and heart, in reality, he still hoped that this stubborn woman would return to his side once again.

  It's not just Zhang Jin, for Ye Hong it's the same, their feelings don't seem to have changed instantly from a red book to a green book. Intense love is not that easy to wear off or forget! And even... seems like there's still a bit of sweetness and passion left, reminiscent of first love and fiery romance.

  Just as Zhang Jin's mouth was filled with a mix of sweet and bitter emotions, lost in his memories, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang again.

  Zhang Jin suddenly woke up with a start, and muttered to himself in a tone that was both hopeful and helpless: "It can't be that Ye Hong, that little rascal, couldn't take the pressure and came back again, could it?"

  When he brought the phone to his eyes and saw the caller ID clearly, Zhang Jin's face changed again. It was no longer a mixture of bitterness and sweetness, but became even more complicated. "Oh my god, how could it be this little girl? Isn't it just that Da Mo Xing left and Xiao Mo Xing arrived?" Although he thought so in his heart, under the prompt of the phone ringtone, he still had to press the answer button.

  As soon as the phone was connected, Ye Meng's crying voice came from the receiver: "Sister-in-law..." A melodious and affectionate term of endearment, with a long drawn-out tone at the end, and a fluctuating pitch that rose and fell, just like Yu Ruyi who had been wronged.

  "Never mind, this girl's voice was really powerful, it suddenly scratched Zhang Jin's heart, making him anxious, thinking that something bad had happened, and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Meng, what's wrong with you? Were you bullied by someone? Tell me, tell me quickly. You're not speaking... hey... hey..., oh my god, you're driving me crazy!"

  After asking a few more questions, all he could still hear from the receiver was Xiaoni's sobbing, and Zhang Jin had already started to panic.

  Although it's a headache to deal with this little witch's various pranks and the lack of distance from her youthful, fiery body, Zhang Jin actually dotes on this girl! If anyone dares to bully our family's little lass, Zhang Jin will not hesitate to fight to the death.

  "It's you, it's you who bullied me. I've been coming to your house every day for the past few days, but you're never home. Brother-in-law, do you dislike Xiaomeng and are afraid of her coming to find you, so you deliberately hide outside and refuse to come back?" Ye Meng said with endless resentment and sniffling.

  Finally hearing Ye Meng speak, Zhang Jin let out a long sigh of relief. Although he found the reason for Ye Meng's sobbing to be somewhat amusing, Zhang Jin still couldn't help but quickly clarify, "How could that be? You know that your brother-in-law cares about you the most, how could he avoid seeing you? Don't think nonsense, ah!"

  At this time, Zhang Jin had already forgotten to correct Ye Meng's little girl's "brother-in-law" title, with an attitude as sincere as joining the party oath.

  "If you didn't hate me coming here to bother you, then...then...why don't you ever come home?" Zhang Jin's tension and 'sweet words' made Ye Meng's heart secretly feel a faint sweetness on the other end of the phone, but Xiao Yatou's tone still clearly expressed a hint of doubt.

  "I..." Zhang Jin hesitated. He really didn't want to tell this troublesome little girl about his plan to go back to the countryside and hide out, or else she would come to bother him every weekend after school started again, which would be enough to give Zhang Jin a headache for a week. If he lied to her, Zhang Jin couldn't think of a good excuse at the moment.

  Also, when facing those medical representatives and pharmaceutical managers before resigning, Zhang Jin could speak fluently without drafts, and under the guise of improvisation, he could make every lie sound reasonable and flawless. It was as if his thoughts flowed like a spring. However, whenever he faced Ye Hong and Ye Meng, these two sisters, Zhang Jin would feel tongue-tied when trying to tell lies, with a feeling of being at a loss for words, as if his talent had been exhausted.

  After hearing Zhang Jin say 'I...' without continuing, Ye Meng seemed to have suddenly confirmed her own conjecture. Her sobbing, which had not completely subsided, became even more severe: "Really, really, Brother-in-law dislikes me... Waaah..."

  When it comes to the point, Zhang Jin can't help but put aside the issue of long pain and short pain. He hastily told Xiaomeng about his decision to move to Haiwazi Village in a straightforward manner, saying: "Xiaomeng, did you hear that clearly? Brother-in-law isn't avoiding you, brother-in-law has been living outside for some time, so he hasn't returned home these past few days. You can come to brother-in-law's house, and brother-in-law will welcome you with open arms!"

  "Really?" asked Ye Meng on the other end of the phone, sobbing.

  "Really!" Zhang Jin on the other end of the phone also didn't care if the other party could see him, nodding his head heavily while giving a definite answer.

  "Then come and pick me up now, I want to take a look!" As expected, the little girl immediately raised the request to come.

  "It's quite far from here to the city, and look at the time, it's already so late. How about we do it another day?" Zhang Jin asked cautiously, holding onto the idea of being able to drag things out.

  "You're still cheating me, you just wanted to avoid me, actually you didn't move out to live elsewhere at all, right?" The little girl who had just stopped crying resumed her tearful tone.

  This time Zhang Jin is completely out of luck, one hand slapping his forehead in a headache, the other hurriedly saying: "Alright, alright, stop crying, I'll go pick you up, isn't that enough? I'm going right now!"

  The little girl's tone was like a child's face, changing suddenly from melancholy and sadness to happiness and excitement. "Alright, hurry up, I'm waiting for you!" She said before hanging up the phone.

  However, Ye Meng's phone had just hung up and rang again. The voice coming from the receiver was still Zhang Jin's weak and breathless voice, "Girl, why are you still so impulsive? You didn't even finish talking before hanging up the phone! Where are you now? Where do you want me to pick you up?"

  "I'm already at your home, hurry up..."
