The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 536, I did something wrong again, right?
"How can you say that in front of Stella!" Lucas wanted to hit someone.
What does "take a step back" mean? What does "Annie can only lie down now, she must be very bored" mean?
Is Stella some kind of entertainment?
"What's wrong with me?" Marco looked puzzled. As a father, was there anything wrong with him wanting his two daughters to get along better with each other?
"We tried our best to get her to stay, but you kept pushing her away." Lucas' eyes were red with anger: "Stella is very kind. This is her advantage. It is not your right to control her. She can be your daughter or not!"
"What are you talking about? How come Stella is not my daughter? When did I push her away?" Marco looked confused: "Stella is my daughter. She loved her dad the most when she was a child!"
Marco is confident, and even now he is still a cool dad that children like.
"Stella doesn't like you the most, she is just the kindest person in this family. She can't bear to see you being scolded every day and is worried that you will be sad, so she pays more attention to you and patiently coaxes you and stays with you." This was also the reason why Lucas quarreled with Marco every day at that time.
A grown man needs his daughter to coax him every day.
Starla is only a few years old. She is so young and very timid, yet she has to take care of her father who is like a giant baby.
“Why are you saying this now…” Marco’s face looked a little embarrassed, and he seemed to be aware of his own absurdity.
"Stella doesn't want to stay in the Wilson family. She wants to leave and go back to Xing Er Tang." Lucas looked like he was about to cry but couldn't. "She doesn't want to stay. Do you understand?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why doesn't Stella want to stay? She can easily get everything here. Isn't that good?" Marco finally realized something at this moment. He stepped forward and grabbed Lucas's collar: "Impossible, how could Stella... I thought..."
"You think! You think! It's always what you think!" Lucas clenched his fists at his side. "When will you finally understand that this world doesn't operate according to the rules you think it does?"
"Why?" Marco's eyes were full of confusion: "Xing Ertang? That little country that not many people know about? What's so good about it?"
Between living in a small country and being the daughter of the Wilson family, where you can have whatever you want, anyone would choose the Wilson family.
"There," Lucas pulled Marco's hand away from his collar, "there's her home."
After saying this, Lucas turned around and went upstairs, his eyes becoming redder.
“How, how could this be…” Marco chased after him in disbelief: “Lucas! Stop right there! In the name of my father, I command you to stop!”
Lucas paused and turned to look at him. The white light fell on half of Lucas's face, reflecting the indifference in his eyes.
Marco, who originally had a lot to say, suddenly fell silent. He opened his mouth, and after a long while, he asked in a dry voice: "I, I did something wrong again, right?"
Lucas didn't answer him, but turned around and walked away without looking back.
Marco punched the wall and turned around to run away, but his legs, which always ran away immediately after something happened, felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move a step.
At the same time, on the beach, Stella was chatting with Kong Xiyan while admiring the stars in the night sky. They also made an appointment to accompany Stella to see Annie the next day.
The next day, during breakfast, Stella discovered that Marco and Lucas were not there. She just thought that the Wilson family was busy and did not think much about it.
However, when she realized that Li Xiaoxiao was missing, Stella still asked, "Where's Xiaoxiao?"
"Qin Muyu got her an audition for the female lead and sent her the script yesterday. I heard it's for a theatrical film directed by a famous director, so it's a rare opportunity." Zhong Yangyang answered Stella's question in a low voice, "She'll go for the audition as soon as she returns to China in a few days. She's still memorizing her lines and practicing her movements in preparation."
After breakfast, Kong Xiyan and her two sisters accompanied Stella to Annie's room.
"You look good." As soon as she entered the room, Kong Xiyan walked to the bedside and glanced at the bottle of Forget-Me-Not on the bedside.
"Ms. Kong, thank you for your care." Anne's face was a little sickly pale, but still so beautiful that people couldn't look away.
She was currently resting on the pillow behind her, flipping through a very thick book in her hands.
"Such a thick book? Are you building muscle?" Kong Xiyan teased.
Noticing everyone's attention on her book, Annie smiled and showed everyone the cover. "I just thought I'd need to rest for a long time, so I asked Father for help..."
When Anne said this, she paused, glanced at Stella, then lowered her eyes as if a little embarrassed, and her voice became much softer: "I chose a thicker one."
"The Poisonwood Bible," Kong Zhishan nodded. "It's translated as The Poisonwood Bible in China. It uses a female perspective to tell the colonists' reflections on the clash of faith and totemism. It's quite a good book."
"I've only read the beginning." Annie's smile was a little awkward. "I've never had this much free time to read before. I'm not used to it."
Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Stella.
The words of apology went around in my mouth for a few times, and I didn't know where to start.
"This is a good opportunity to take a break." Stella looked around the room, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she smiled meaningfully: "It's too tiring to read such a thick book, so I'd better use this!"
She took a nearby tablet and asked Stella to unlock the screen. Then, with a few taps of her fingertips, she found a variety show and handed it to Annie, recommending it to her: "Watch this! It's really good! You should watch this when you're sick! It's the best!"
"Um... okay..." Annie smiled and focused her eyes on the screen.
Listening to the voice coming from the screen, Zhong Yangyang hesitated and turned to look at Kong Zhishan: "Sister...could that be..."
Kong Xiyan shrugged her shoulders.
Stella will not give up any opportunity to persuade others and develop like-minded people.
Sure enough, the soundtrack of the variety show "Dear You" soon came out from the screen.
Stella's eyes lit up, and she swayed excitedly beside Anne's bed. "Watch this first! This is the pure enjoyment version. It's exciting but shorter. I also have the complete recorded version! Watch it! You'll like it! You will definitely like it!"
"Um... okay..." Annie was a little surprised, looking at the excited Stella at a loss.
But the previous embarrassment and uneasiness were all swept away by Stella's excited recommendation.
Only Zhong Yangyang listened to the voice coming from the tablet, digging her toes into the ground: No, can't I watch it behind her back...
So embarrassing...
With common topics, Anne and Stella became familiar with each other in just half an hour.
That afternoon, a projection screen was added to Anne's room facing the bed.
From then on, Annie had a regular variety show partner in her room.
Stara, now I have a like-minded person who speaks the same language as me.
