Looking at the beautiful and neat small regular characters "Mr. Shao Mingzhi" written on the envelope, Shao Lin, like Mrs. Shao, silently praised the words in his heart.
Tear open the seal and take out the thin letter paper inside.
Please reply to this letter, we have something important to discuss.
Signed by: Your daughter (biological)
Below the signature, there is a phone number.
After reading the contents of the letter, Shao Lin's first reaction was to sneer.
Except for Yuan Jia's accident, he has never been close to any woman in so many years. Where did he get his daughter?
Either someone is playing a prank or they have ulterior motives.
Shao Lin put the letter back into the envelope, threw it aside, and lay down on the bed to start his lunch break.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Lin got up from his nap. Seeing that it was still early, he changed into casual clothes and went to the study room to prepare for processing the documents accumulated during this period.
After Shao Lin went to the study, the nanny went into Shao Lin's room to tidy up, picked up the letter that was thrown on the ground, and handed it to Wei Fu.
Wei Fu recognized the letter as the one he had taken from the study at noon. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he went to the study to ask Shao Lin for instructions.
"Sir, what should I do with this letter?"
Throw it away.
Shao Lin originally thought so, but when he saw the letter in Wei Fu's hand, what he said was: "Give it to me."
"yes."
He wanted to see what kind of liar he was who dared to claim to be his biological daughter.
Shao Lin ran his fingers over the handwriting on the letter paper, which was elegant yet elegant, and picked up the phone on the desk.
"Beep...beep..."
Time seemed to be stretched out by a pair of magic hands. The waiting tone of just a few seconds seemed extremely long. Even when the phone was picked up, Shao Lin's heart trembled inexplicably.
Not sure if it was a hallucination or an illusion, Shao Lin felt that the voice on the other end of the phone was so familiar that it made his heart palpitate.
"Hey, who is this?"
After waiting for two seconds and not hearing a response, Huang Zhiqiu on the other end of the phone asked again.
Shao Lin coughed and came to his senses, "I called according to the number on the letter. My surname is Shao."
This short sentence stunned Huang Zhiqiu, and the microphone in his hand almost fell off.
The voice that was almost the same as in her memory, as well as the other person's self-reported family name, allowed her to confirm and confirm the other person's identity.
Huang Zhiqiu opened his mouth to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
"Dududu..."
Listening to the busy signal when the phone was hung up, Shao Lin suddenly realized something and immediately redialed the call.
"bell--"
The phone rang relentlessly, over and over again, but Huang Zhiqiu was sitting next to it but had no intention of answering it.
"Mom, why don't you answer the phone?"
It wasn't until Yun Mo, who was tending flowers and plants in the courtyard, stepped into the main room that Huang Zhiqiu came back to his senses as if he was waking up from a dream.
"Ah, Momo, I'm looking for you."
Although she thought Huang Zhiqiu's expression was a bit strange, Yun Mo didn't think much about it and reached out to pick up the phone.
"Hello, who's there?"
Shao Lin could tell immediately that the person who answered the phone this time was different from before. His voice was soft and sweet, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
While recalling where he had heard this voice in his mind, he calmed down and said, "Hello, my surname is Shao."
Yun Mo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Huang Zhiqiu on the side.
Huang Zhiqiu sat upright on the chair, her face calm and composed, but her clenched fingers revealed her true inner emotions.
"I'm looking for the person who wrote the letter."
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Yun Mo replied directly: "I wrote the letter."
Yun Mo admitted openly, but Shao Lin was a little confused as to where to start.
"Come to the capital and let's meet."
"I don't have time, I have to take an exam."
After a pause, Yun Mo continued: "I live at No. 28 Guoxing Road, Chengnan District, Jiang City. If you are interested in what is in the letter, you can come and see me."
With Shao Lin's identity and status, not even his mother, Mrs. Shao, had ever been so rude to him, but he couldn't get angry, and instead couldn't help but explain the reason why he didn't go to Jiang City.
"I'm very busy with work during this period, so I can't leave for the time being."
"Oh, let's wait until you're done. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
Shao Lin: "..."
Before he could think of what to say, the call was actually hung up.
Shao Lin held up the busy microphone and was stunned for a while before he couldn't help but laugh.
On the other end, after Yun Mo hung up the phone, although Huang Zhiqiu didn't ask anything, the hesitant look in his eyes said everything.
"He said he was busy and didn't have time to come over, so he asked me to come over."
Huang Zhiqiu's lips moved for a moment before he said, "Momo, you have grown up, you can make your own decision."
"What about you? Don't you want to see him?"
"It doesn't make any difference whether you see it or not."
"There is a difference. Even if it is a misunderstanding, the misunderstanding must be cleared up. Mom, do you want to live with this knot until you grow old?"
"Let me think about it, now is not the time to meet."
Although Huang Zhiqiu has a gentle personality, he is not an indecisive person. With his daughter's persuasion, he became less resistant to meeting Shao Mingzhi.
On the other side, although Shao Lin's heart was rippled by the brief phone call with Yun Mo's mother and daughter, he did not lose his composure.
After looking at the recent itinerary, he asked his assistant to arrange his trip to Jiang City at the end of the month.
In the evening, after talking about business, while chatting with clients, Shao Lin learned that tomorrow was the day of the college entrance examination, but Shao Lin's originally calm heart could not calm down.
——I don’t have time, I have to take an exam.
What the girl said on the phone kept echoing in his mind repeatedly, making him unable to help but wonder, was the exam she was talking about the college entrance examination?
As a close subordinate, Liang Kuan naturally noticed Shao Lin's absent-mindedness.
After seeing off the client, Liang Kuan suggested with concern: "Sir, I think you are a little tired. Why don't you just take a rest at the hotel tonight?"
Shao Lin seemed not to have heard anything and looked out the car window calmly.
Liang Kuan turned to the driver and ordered, "Go back to the compound."
Shao Lin has a little-known habit of never staying in any hotel including Shaw Brothers. Therefore, every time Shao Lin goes out of town or abroad, Liang Kuan will arrange a private residence in advance.
Along the way, Liang Kuan couldn't help but feel uneasy when he saw Shao Lin's sullen face and silent expression.
"Sir, I see that you are in a bad mood. You were so concerned that you forgot your taboos. You can scold me if you don't like it, but don't make yourself angry..."
Shao Lin was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to what Liang Kuan was saying.
"Liang Kuan."
"exist."
"Go to the airport."
Liang Kuan first asked the driver to divert to the airport, then turned to ask Shao Lin, "Sir, are you going to pick up the airport?"
"Please make arrangements, I'm going to Province H."
Liang Kuan couldn't hide his surprise, "Now? It's so late, there are no flights at the airport."
"If you don't have a flight, you need to arrange a charter flight. Do you still want me to teach you such a simple thing?"
