What earth-shattering event happened in Chapter 220?
After pressing the dial button, Dai's mother held the phone to her ear.
The dial tone came through the phone.
She stood in the hallway, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone while looking at her daughter's closed bedroom door.
The crying inside the door had subsided considerably.
Maybe she was just tired from crying.
The phone rang for about three seconds.
Then, the other end answered.
Before Dai's mother could even speak.
The first thing that came through the phone was Li Menghan's very impatient voice.
"Hey, Dai Yuqian, I've told you so many times. I don't want to hear you talk about those important things. And you don't need to keep calling me from a different phone number."
Li Menghan's tone was very cold and harsh.
He continued:
"I really don't want to be harassed by you anymore."
He paused for a moment, then added:
"Also, I'll block your mother's number that you're calling me now later."
Standing in the corridor, Dai's mother listened to what Li Menghan was saying on the other end of the phone.
Several things suddenly became clear to her.
Firstly, her initial guess was correct.
Her daughter, Dai Yuqian, and Li Menghan have indeed broken up.
The second thing is that before she made this call, her daughter had already called Li Menghan more than once using different phone numbers.
And every time, Li Menghan blocked him on the first try.
The third thing is that the conflict between the two of them seems to be very serious.
She had met Li Menghan several times before. Every time that boy came to her house, he was very polite and courteous in his speech and actions.
I've never spoken to anyone in this tone before.
Now he's even blocking his elders' phone numbers.
It's easy to imagine that what happened between them was anything but simple.
Before Li Menghan could hang up, Dai's mother quickly spoke up.
Her voice was very anxious:
"Don't hang up yet, Meng Han. I'm not Qianqian, I'm her mother."
Upon hearing this voice, Li Menghan on the other end of the phone visibly paused.
Two seconds later, the tone on the other end of the phone changed abruptly.
Li Menghan's voice became much more polite.
He began to speak:
"Oh? It's Auntie. I'm sorry, I thought it was Xixi calling from a different number again. Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"
When Dai's mother heard the change in Li Menghan's tone, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At least this boy showed basic respect for her, his elder.
Mrs. Dai took a deep breath and said very seriously:
"That's right, Menghan. Actually, I didn't have any other intention in calling you today."
"I knew you two must have had some kind of fight, and now you've broken up, haven't you?"
"Just now, Sisi was crying in her room. As her mother, it really broke my heart to see her like that."
Dai's mother's voice became gentler.
She continued:
"I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to ask what exactly happened between the two of you."
"Actually, Menghan, I think you're a very good person. You're polite and know how to be filial to your family. Every time you come to our house, you're always very nice."
"When Sisi is with you, I, as her mother, feel very reassured and happy."
Mrs. Dai sighed and then said:
"I just think it would be such a shame if you two, such a great couple, broke up over such a small thing. Young people are bound to have some disagreements. Everything can be discussed calmly."
These words from Dai's mother were spoken with great sincerity.
She genuinely hoped that her daughter and Li Menghan could reconcile and go back to normal.
If it were any other guy, hearing his ex-girlfriend's mother approve of him and speak up for him like that would be incredibly disheartening.
They must be overjoyed.
After all, receiving such high praise from one's mother-in-law is a remarkable achievement for any man.
However, Li Menghan was not happy.
He listened quietly to everything Dai's mother said on the other end of the phone.
He remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he spoke.
Although his tone was much more polite than before, the words he spoke were very cold.
Li Menghan said to Dai's mother:
"Auntie, first of all, thank you for your recognition. But I think you've misunderstood a lot of things."
Li Menghan's voice became very serious:
"First, I need to make this clear to you. The problem between me and Dai Yuqian is not a minor conflict. It's a very big one."
Upon hearing this, Dai's mother frowned immediately.
Li Menghan continued:
"Secondly, and more importantly, the fault and blame in this matter lie entirely with your daughter. I did nothing wrong."
Dai's mother gripped the phone tightly with her fingers.
She had absolutely no idea what mistake Li Menghan was making.
Li Menghan sighed and continued:
"Auntie, I only found out the details a couple of days ago. I don't want to go into too much detail over the phone."
"Because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable after hearing about your daughter's situation."
He paused for a moment, then very directly told Dai's mother:
"If you really want to know what happened, please ask your daughter first. But I'm giving you a heads-up: you might find it hard to accept what you hear."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Then Li Menghan said something at the end:
"Auntie, there's one more thing I need to make clear to you. After I hang up, I'll also be blocking your phone number."
"Because I no longer want to have any dealings with your family."
Goodbye, Auntie.
"Beep beep beep—"
The call was disconnected.
A busy signal came from the phone.
Dai's mother stood in the corridor, holding her phone.
She was completely stunned.
Her mind was in complete chaos.
She couldn't understand what Li Menghan meant at all.
What does it mean that the fault lies entirely with her daughter?
What wrong did her daughter do?
What does it mean to say that this contradiction is huge?
Just how big is it?
What do you mean by "she will find it hard to accept after hearing it"?
What earth-shattering thing happened between the two of them that made Li Menghan even block her, an elder, from calling?
Standing in the corridor, a series of questions kept swirling in Dai's mind.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt.
What on earth has happened that has become so serious?
Dai's mother put the phone back in her pocket.
She turned her head and looked again at her daughter's closed bedroom door.
There is no more crying coming from inside the door.
It was very quiet.
Mrs. Dai stood at the door, hesitating for a long time.
She was torn between whether or not to push open the door immediately and go in to ask her daughter directly.
But then she remembered what Li Menghan had said on the phone.
"After you hear this, you may find it hard to accept."
These words terrified Dai's mother.
She didn't know what the truth was.
But she knew that the truth must be very, very serious.
It was so serious that even an 18-year-old boy couldn't bear to say it to her face on the phone.
Mrs. Dai sighed deeply.
She reached out and leaned against the wall of the corridor.
She felt her legs were a little weak.
She stood there, looking at the tightly closed door, her heart filled with endless worry.
