Another silence followed.
After a long pause, Yu Jianguo asked cautiously, "Daughter, are you feeling unwell?"
His daughter suddenly wanted to surprise him?
surprise!
Could it be that...
My daughter's health is failing!
Yu Wan: "..."
I recognized him by his eyes; he was definitely his biological father.
"If you feel unwell, don't try to hold it in." Yu Jianguo became increasingly panicked, pacing back and forth like a cat on a hot tin roof, muttering to himself, "No, I have to call Dean Fang right away and see if I can get an appointment with any of the well-known internal medicine specialists in Jiangcheng City..."
"Wait, wait... I'm fine, I'm really fine." Yu Wan hurriedly interrupted him, "If you don't believe me, I'll go bungee jumping in a bit?"
"If you really dare to go, I'll break your legs!" Yu Jianguo slammed his fist on the table and stood up. If you listened carefully, you could hear his voice trembling slightly.
Yu Wan suddenly felt a lump in her throat: "I'm perfectly fine, really nothing's wrong." After a pause, she said rather awkwardly, "Old man, I'm just worried that all this traveling will take a toll on your health. Come back after you've finished what you're doing."
Yu Jianguo was slightly taken aback, then burst into loud laughter.
Over the phone, Yu Wan heard a flurry of footsteps, followed by Yu Jianguo seemingly boasting to someone, "My daughter's grown up, she knows how to care for her old man now, hahaha..."
The subordinates immediately began to flatter him.
"They say a daughter is a father's warm little cotton-padded jacket, the chairman is really blessed."
"You are the young lady's only family member, so she must care about you the most."
"The young lady is truly beautiful inside and out."
...
Listening to the voice and imagining the scene on the other end, Yu Wan paused for a moment, feeling an urge to hang up immediately.
This is so embarrassing!
What's so great about something like this?
“Honey, I’ll listen to you. We’ll go after we finish things here. Let me check the schedule… We should be able to get to Jiangcheng by Sunday afternoon.”
Yu Wan responded, and remembering that a group of senior leaders were still waiting on the other end of the phone, she considerately ended the call.
As soon as she opened the car door and got out, she saw Uncle Liu with his hands folded on his lower abdomen, looking at her with a loving expression: "Miss, you're back."
Uncle Liu came to the Yu family ten years ago, and he can be said to be the closest person to the Yu family in the world besides Yu Jianguo.
A smile involuntarily crept onto Yu Wan's lips as she stepped forward, about to greet them, when she suddenly heard the sound of Violin Sonata No. 8 in G major coming from inside the villa. Her expression immediately darkened: "Who went into the music room?"
“It’s Miss Feng Hanjin. She claims to be…” Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully, “Your half-sister.”
"Who?" Yu Wan's body tensed up instantly.
Liu Bo said, "It's the Feng family from Liaocheng."
Yu Wan paused for a moment, her fingers hanging at her sides clenched slightly, slowly forming a fist, and then relaxed.
The Feng family!
That renowned scholarly family in Liaocheng was also the wealthy family that woman remarried into.
Unconsciously, a sense of irritation suddenly rose in Yu Wan's heart, and she frowned: "What is she doing here?"
Uncle Liu shook his head.
The music room is located on the far left of the first floor, behind which is the greenhouse. At this moment, a woman in a white dress has a violin slung over her shoulder, her fingers movingly playing the strings, producing a series of light and beautiful notes.
This piece has three movements, and she is playing the first movement, a sonata in G major, which is a very fast allegro.
"Bang"
Suddenly, the half-closed door was kicked open.
The loud noise startled the person inside, causing her hand to slip and a sharp, piercing sound rang out as the strings were pulled apart. She turned around and saw a bright, flamboyant girl standing by the door, exuding a menacing aura. The girl raised her chin, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Get out."
"You are... Yu Wan?" Feng Hanjin smiled politely and gently, with two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.
That image instantly overlapped with someone else's, and memories that had been desperately hidden surged into my mind.
"Wanwan, is the tune Mommy played nice?"
"Mmm, that sounds great. Mom will definitely stand on the biggest stage in the future, and I'll sit below and cheer you on, being your biggest fan, hehe."
"Mom has to go."
"Mommy, please, don't leave me. Is there something I didn't do well enough? I'll change. Mommy, please don't go..."
"sorry……"
Grass!
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Yu Wan strode over, forcefully pulled the violin over, bent down, and slammed it to the ground.
Feng Hanjin stood frozen in place until the million-dollar Stradivarius was smashed to pieces, then she took several steps back in fear.
Just then, Yu Wan turned her head. She smiled casually, her voice utterly cold: "The thing I hate most in this life is that guy surnamed Feng playing the violin in front of me."
That gaze was chillingly cold, and Feng Hanjin felt a chill creep up her spine, her heart pounding uneasily.
Before coming to Jiangcheng, she had inquired about Yu Wan's background, but after meeting him in person, she was shocked to find that he was far more arrogant, violent, and extremely intimidating than described in the text.
Silence, deathly silence.
“Mom is holding a solo concert at the Liaocheng National Opera Center on Saturday, and she hopes you can attend.” Feng Hanjin walked to the table, took out an exquisite invitation from her bag, and handed it to her.
The invitation featured a profile of a gentle woman and read, "International Violin Master Helen Xiao's Violin Recital".
Yu Wan looked away, her heart feeling as if it had been stabbed, a sour, astringent, faint pain spreading through her.
"She originally wanted to come in person, but she had other things to do at the Sydney Opera House, so she..."
"Oh……"
Hearing this, Yu Wan's lips curled into a mocking smile, as if she had heard a joke. What was even more ridiculous was that she realized she was acting like a complete lunatic, actually... actually still harboring a tiny bit of fantasy.
If you truly care, there are no excuses.
So many years have passed, isn't it enough to understand this principle?
That's incredibly stupid!
Yu Wan lowered her eyelids, then looked up again, her usual lazy demeanor returning. She lifted her foot and walked out, saying, "Uncle Liu, see Miss Feng out."
"Wait." Feng Hanjin caught up and grabbed her hand: "Yu Wan, I..."
The sound suddenly caught in his throat.
"Let go." Yu Wan's eyes weren't sharp, and there was even a nonchalant smile on her lips, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
Feng Hanjin subconsciously withdrew her hand.
A moment later, she heard Yu Wan's voice: "Uncle Liu, have someone come over tomorrow to demolish the music room and turn it into a home theater. It'll be nice if I can watch movies with Old Man Yu every now and then..."
