I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Four days after Anya returned home, she received a phone call from Zhao Wei. At that time, she was in a small cafeteria near the hospital, packing lunch for her parents.

"Anya, you asked for leave?"

"Ok!"

"Did something happen?" Zhao Wei's voice was full of concern.

"Something happened at home, so I took some time off."

There was a pause over there, and after a few seconds, Zhao Wei's slightly cautious voice came, "Can I ask?"

"It's nothing inconvenient. My dad was in a car accident. You know the situation at home. My mom is not in good health, so I asked for leave to come back."

Zhao Wei and Anya worked part-time together and knew something about her family situation. He was one of the original owner's few true friends, so Anya told him the truth. Of course, there was nothing to hide about this matter.

"Ah! How is your uncle now, Anya, how are you...are you okay?" Zhao Wei spoke quickly, and his worry was obvious.

"I had the surgery in time, it's nothing serious. I need to stay in the hospital for a while. Thank you for your concern, brother."

"That's good!" Zhao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Anya asked

"Oh! It's like this. The boss paid the money for your part-time job last time. You didn't come that day, so the boss said he would call you and asked me to collect it for you. I'll transfer it to you now!" Zhao Wei then remembered the important matter.

Their boss is quite old and is always too lazy to go to the bank to deposit money, so he always gives them cash.

He originally wanted to look for Anya, as they were quite familiar with each other. Today was Wednesday, and he knew Anya had classes today, but he didn't expect to not find her when he arrived in the classroom.

Of course, this could be discussed over the phone, there was no need to make a trip, he just wanted to find a chance to see her.

"Okay, thank you, brother!"

Listening to Anya's polite tone, Zhao Wei felt a little blocked in his heart. Why did he feel that Anya was a little distant from him?

Did he do something wrong to make her angry?

Or maybe it was something about her family that made her feel bad.

"It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite!"

"Okay, Senior Brother, is there anything else? If not, I have something else to do right now, so I'll hang up first."

They had already arrived at the door of the ward. Anya was carrying the takeaway in one hand and her cell phone in the other. She could only tilt her head, put the phone to her ear and prop it against her shoulder, freeing her one hand to push the door.

As soon as I put the door handle on it, the door opened from the inside.

"Mom!" Anya shouted.

"Ah, hello, Auntie!"

Mother An was about to speak when she suddenly heard a greeting from the phone.

Mother An: ...

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Wei's face flushed. Ah! Ah! What is he doing? He just heard Anya calling her mom, and his mind was confused. He subconsciously wanted to behave better in front of Anya's parents. His mouth was faster than his brain, and he shouted directly, forgetting that he was on the phone, not meeting, there was really no need to call anyone.

Zhao Wei was extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, he still had some rationality just now, and he called her auntie. If he had called her mom, he would have found a hole to crawl into by now. He and Anya haven't even started dating yet, and if he called her mom so impatiently, Anya would probably break up with him!

I hope Anya’s mother didn’t hear what I just said.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey! Hello, you must be Anya!"

Anya put her phone on speakerphone.

Zhao Wei didn't know what she was so excited about. She shouted so loudly that she could hear it clearly even without turning on the speakerphone. Her mother heard it, so she couldn't just pretend nothing happened.

"Yes... yes, Auntie!" Zhao Wei was so ashamed and angry that he stuttered.

"I heard from Anya that you took good care of her when you worked part-time together. Thank you so much."

"It's okay, Auntie, you're too polite. I'm also from S City, and Anya and I are from the same hometown. Anya is my junior schoolmate. There are people from all over the world in our school, and it's rare to meet someone from the same hometown. This is a rare fate. I didn't take care of her much. Anya is very hardworking and independent, and she is a very outstanding person."

"Oh, is that so?"

No parent who loves their child would be unhappy to hear others praising their child. Zhao Wei's words made Mother An smile happily.

The two of them started chatting directly.

It was the first time that Anya discovered that her taciturn senior brother had such a talkative side.

Seeing that the two still had something to say, Anya handed the phone to her mother and took out the takeaway and placed it on the small table by the bed.
