Then, Mr. Xue's voice came through, still tinged with a silly laugh, "Hehe, actually it's nothing serious, but could you guys come back tomorrow? I have something I want to discuss in person, to get your opinions on it."
Although his words were somewhat contradictory, Jiang Yue didn't point it out. Instead, she shifted the phone to the other side so that her family's Xue Yan could also hear.
Xue Yan said, "Let's go back after dinner; tomorrow I have a few surgeries, and there's one in the evening too, so I might get home very late. Dad, don't wait up for us. If we get home before ten o'clock, we'll come to your room to wake you up. If we don't, just go to bed, and we can talk in the morning." He also spoke into the phone.
"Okay. Okay," Mr. Xue eagerly agreed, sounding very happy.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were both puzzled, not knowing why Mr. Xue was so joyful. He laughed foolishly more than once, which was rare for him.
