A call from dad

Bai Liyue was happy when she saw the online comments. Though there were still a few who didn't believe her,yet the majority of the people were starting to see a clear picture. They could see the loopholes behind the incident and could actually think logically about the entire situation. Hence, they began to support her despite the original hate and waited for the truth to come out.

Now all that remained was for her to find the real person who was involved with that businessman. And for some reason, she was getting this positive vibe that she was going to find that truth real soon. She smiled and waited for An Mei to contact her but instead, someone else called her. Seeing the name flashing on the screen, her smile was gone.

She never expected this person to call her. Taking a deep breath, she answered meekly, "Hello... d-dad."

"Ah! So, you know that I am your dad. That's good," he said. His voice was a little cold, distant, and extremely unfamiliar to her. "How are you now?" he asked

"I am good."

"Hmm."

There was a small pause on the other side. Bai Liyue frowned, waiting for her father to speak. When he didn't, she opened her mouth but he beat her to it. She heard his cold voice again. "Ziyue, I have taken care of An Mei. You don't have to trouble yourself over this matter anymore," he said.

Oh..... so that's why An Mei didn't call her..... Bai Liyue thought.

"Thanks.... d-dad," she said gratefully.

Again, there was a short pause on the phone.

Bai Liyue frowned, "D-dad?"

"Ziyue, though you have left the house out of your own stupidity, I am still your father. Are you having trouble calling me your father?"

Bai Liyue bit her lips. The thing was that she already had a father and calling Chen Ziyue's father "dad" was something quite weird for her. It would take some time for her to get used to it. She sighed, "No..... dad, actually, I -"

"Forget it," he chuckled. "You are a patient whose suffering from memory loss, so I don't want you to cry thinking that I am scolding or bullying you."

Bai Liyue: "......."

"Ziyue, do you hate me?"

Hearing his question, Bai Liyue was confused. She wasn't Chen Ziyue, so how would she know whether Chen Ziyue hated her father or not? She had no answer to this question. "Um... I-I.... umm...."

Suddenly, she heard his small laugh. "Of course, you hate me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have left the house. Anyways, that was all before your memory loss and now, there is no point in asking such meaningless questions. So, when are you coming back home?"

"Umm... I-I...haven't thought about it...." Bai Liyue answered honestly.

"Then think about it. Your mother and sister miss you very much. Come back this Sunday, we will have lunch together. I will send a car to pick you up. As for the rest of the things, we will discuss them at home. Take care."

And before Bai Liyue could reply, the call ended.

Bai Liyue stared at her phone in a daze. Talking to Chen Ziyue's father was quite a weird experience. Through this small conversation, she could deduce some things about her new father. Chen Yuzhou, her father seemed like a controlling and demanding man who wanted things to go his way. Though he did ask for her opinion, however, in reality, he had already decided for her. In short, he was a person who wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

She threw her phone on the bed and lay down beside it. Closing her eyes, she began to think about her conversation with her father. Was she really going to have lunch with Chen Ziyue's family members? It seemed so.

Meeting her new family, huh?

A mother who missed her but never called her once? A sister who visited and took care of her when she was comatose, but disappeared after she woke up?

She was excited to meet her new family two days later.

###

In another part of the city, in a shooting location.

"Yesss..... oh yess...."

"A litter harder..... mmmm....."

"Just like that..."

A blissful sigh escaped Song Ning's beautiful pink lips. She was sitting inside her vanity van, with her new assistant massaging her shoulder. Currently, she was at the shooting location for her new film - The Revenge of the Ancient Phoenix. This was a good script that she was eyeing for quite a while and landed the role of the female lead with Si Jingyun's help.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Song Ning frowned, a little irked at the person who dared to disturb her rest. "Come in," she ordered with an unpleasant tone.

Soon the door opened and another beautiful woman entered the room. The beauty straight away rushed toward Song Ning and wanted to hug Song Ning, but seeing her sitting on the chair, she gave up the idea. This person was none other than, Xie Yunnan - Song Ning's best friend. Compared to her usual rosy look, this time, her face looked slightly pale, and her eyes were red.

"Song Ning, I need your help!!!! Save me!!!!" she begged, "That - "

"Shut up!" Song Ning barked, opening her eyes, and glared at her stupid friend.

Startled, Xie Yunnan looked at her friend in disbelief when suddenly she noticed another person inside the room. Realizing her mistake, Xie Yunnan closed her mouth and stood obediently on the side. Seeing her action, Song Ning rolled her eyes. She waved her hand, motioning for her new assistant to leave the vanity van. The assistant nodded and quickly left the room, and shut the door behind.

After her assistant was gone, Song Ning hissed, "Xie Yunnan!!!! Are you an idiot? How many times do I have to tell you to watch who else is in the room before you speak????"

"I am so sorry, Ningning," Xie Yunnan put on an apologetic face and bit her lips. "I-I... I... I really didn't notice your assistance...

Song Ning rolled her eyes. "Okay, that's fine. But, you better be careful, next time," she warned slightly.

Xie Yunnan nodded. "I promise, I will."

"Hmm.... now put away that crying face and tell me, what's your new problem? What happened now? Are you in trouble with your lover's wife again?" she inquired. "Did she catch you? Or did you fight with your golden thighs again?"

"No, no... it's nothing like that," Xie Yunnan said. "I am in bigger trouble than that. It's Chen Ziyue and you need to help me."

"Chen Ziyue?" Song Ning was surprised. "What did she do now?"

"Here..... take a look for yourself," Xie Yunnan said, and passed her phone to Song Ning.
