On the other side, Xu Yichen saw that the call had actually gone through and instinctively held his breath.
But before he could speak, the same voice that Pingping had just spoken came from the other end, and even the words she said were exactly the same.
It felt to him like the other side was playing a recording.
He felt a chill run down his spine, and when he heard another scream from the other end, he immediately hung up the phone.
After receiving a message from Yun Qi that the person on the other end wasn't Pingping and that everything was a misunderstanding, Song Yifei was about to tell Xu Yichen when she saw him staring blankly at his phone, his face pale.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yichen suddenly turned around and hugged her tightly, his voice choked with emotion as he said, "Yifei, come with me to see Uncle Su."
He didn't know if it was someone's prank, but instead of being scared, he suddenly thought of Su Zhinan, who looked more than ten years older than he had a while ago.
Su Zhinan lost his wife early in life, and now his only daughter has also passed away. If he could hear Pingping's voice, it would probably offer him some comfort.
Su Ping sat on the sofa, looking at the phone that Xu Yichen had hung up on, and sighed heavily.
Her method was actually quite risky; hopefully, he won't suspect her in the short term.
[Host, do you think that man will come tomorrow night?]
Thinking about how Su Ping was seriously trying to fool that long-haired man in Tu Hengchuan's place, Huluwa was sweating bullets for her.
But the long-haired man actually believed her and even offered to help her communicate with Madam Lu to see if the wedding could be canceled if she cooperated.
Su Ping didn't answer Calabash Brother's question. She had actually guessed that the man would agree to her offer, after all, the conditions she offered were quite attractive, especially for someone as obsessed as him.
Thinking of Lu Zhiyan, Su Ping actually felt a little guilty, after all, the joy that flashed in his eyes every time he mentioned having a wedding was undeniable.
He was truly overjoyed and looking forward to marrying her, but she could not marry him.
In order to go back, she had no choice but to harden her heart and cancel the wedding.
After sending a message to Mrs. Lu to arrange a place for their final meal, Su Ping had just lain down on the bed when her phone rang.
Who could be calling her at this hour?
Upon seeing Xu Yichen's name appear on the screen, Su Ping became even less willing to answer.
Why wouldn't he give up? He even called again that night to confirm.
After rehearsing her lines in her mind, Su Ping cleared her throat and realized that the phone had hung up on itself after a long time of silence.
Su Ping blinked. This couldn't be her fault, could it? It hung up on its own.
But the next second, her phone rang again, giving the impression that she wouldn't give up until she answered.
After the call connected, no one spoke on the other end, so Su Ping had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue with her lines.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the other end.
"It really is the sound of screens..."
Su Ping choked for a moment, and her eyes slowly began to moisten.
She never expected to hear her father Su Zhinan's voice again under such circumstances.
But she can't acknowledge him now. After all, she's already experienced the grief of losing her daughter once, and she can't let him go through it a second time.
Su Ping quickly composed herself and finished reciting her lines. Just as she was hesitating whether to scream, she heard Su Zhinan's voice continue from the other end.
"Yichen, thank you for coming to see me. I'm much better now. Pingping told me that she hopes I can live a good life."
Su Ping recalled the words Su Zhinan had spoken to her in his dream, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The next second, it was as if Xu Yichen had pressed the phone to his ear, and Su Ping could hear his voice clearly coming through.
"I don't know if you're playing a prank, or where you got Pingping's audio, but thank you anyway for letting us hear Pingping's voice again."
He hung up the phone before Su Ping could react.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ping was unable to calm down for a long time.
Sometimes she wanted to be a little greedy, but this was ultimately a fictional world, an illusion, and if she couldn't complete the tasks given by the system, she would be completely wiped out.
Su Ping thought about it all night and decided to go for a walk near her home the next day to see if she could catch a glimpse of her father from afar.
The next day, she got up early, put on makeup that she herself couldn't recognize, and deliberately wore bulky clothes. After adjusting her posture, she looked like a woman in her thirties or forties.
To avoid attracting attention, she deliberately parked her car in a shopping mall parking lot several kilometers away and then took a taxi there.
The closer Su Ping got to that side, the more nervous she became. She didn't know if she would see her father, but she just wanted to try her luck.
Perhaps she was just incredibly unlucky, because she waited outside for two hours but didn't see her father come out.
She remembered that her father had a habit of exercising in the morning, so why...?
Just as she turned to leave, the door not far behind her was opened. Su Ping turned around stiffly and met Aunt Mei's gaze as she walked out.
After a few months apart, Aunt Mei's face had become visibly thinner.
In order not to arouse her suspicion, Su Ping pretended to be calm and looked away, preparing to leave, but was stopped by Aunt Mei behind her.
Hello, how can I help you?
Two hours ago, Aunt Mei noticed a strange woman loitering near the villa downstairs. At first, she thought she was up to no good, but upon closer inspection, she didn't think so.
After she finished her work, she discovered that the woman hadn't left yet, which led to the current situation.
She wasn't always this kind-hearted; when did she change?
Aunt Mei chuckled inwardly, probably influenced by her mistress.
The woman in front of her was dressed somewhat bulkily, and her face looked a little dirty. If she could help her in any way she could, she would be willing to lend her a hand.
"I'm a little thirsty, may I come in and have a glass of water?"
Su Ping swallowed hard and tentatively asked.
She knew her request was somewhat unreasonable, and she didn't think Aunt Mei would agree to it.
But to her surprise, Aunt Mei agreed after only a moment's hesitation.
Following Aunt Mei into this familiar villa, some memories uncontrollably flooded my mind.
Su Ping concealed her emotions, trying her best not to let Aunt Mei notice anything amiss.
"Sit here and wait for me, I'll get you a glass of water."
Su Ping nodded and walked over somewhat awkwardly to sit down on the sofa.
Aunt Mei watched her retreating figure and suddenly felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
