Chapter 168 Chapter 168 30
It was a week later that Xi Wudeng got Ruoruo's contact information and learned that Ruoruo had been recognized by Chu Qing.
By then, the birthday party he had painstakingly prepared had already passed. Chu Qing did not go, and Chu Yiyi did not go either.
Chu Yiyi originally planned to give this cheap father some face, but since she knew that Ruoruo was treated in Xiren Hospital from the beginning, let alone face, if killing is not illegal, she even wants to kill her father!
When Xi Wudeng came slowly in the morning after hosting his birthday party, Chu Yiyi was stunned. She didn't know how he still had the nerve to do that!
Ruo Ruo also has no feelings towards her biological father.
Dr. Ouyang had confessed to her two days ago. She told Xi Wudeng the results of the paternity test between him and Ruoruo and sincerely apologized to Ruoruo.
So Ruoruo had already known for a long time that her biological father didn't care much about her.
Of course, she didn't feel lost at all.
If she knew this news before being recognized by Chu Qing, she might still feel sad, but now, she has the love from her mother and sister, and even the fatherly love from Shen Luan. Does it matter how her biological father treats her?
In her heart, he is no better than an ordinary passerby.
Xi Wudeng pretended to go find Ruoruo once, but after discovering that Ruoruo was just like her sister, not giving him any face and letting him be rejected by Chu Qing, he never went to see her again.
Anyway, he has no shortage of children. Since this little daughter is so ignorant, then just leave it as it is. He doesn't have time to coax the child.
Logically speaking, he should be feeling very proud and happy now, as he had just finished the birthday party he had painstakingly prepared, but unfortunately, nothing went well.
He hadn't gotten the patent he'd been trying to negotiate, and why was he throwing such a big birthday party? It was to invite the people he wanted to invite, but they didn't even show up, and he didn't even give them a single gift.
He didn't lack such a birthday gift, but he lacked the boss's attitude. Unfortunately, the boss didn't give him face.
Even his stepdaughter, who used to be well-behaved and obedient and never caused him any trouble, has been particularly annoying recently. Not only did she do an embarrassing live broadcast, but she also got into a lawsuit because of it. He has to clean up the mess for her on top of his busy schedule!
Until he learned from the Amano Guild that the people who wanted to sue Zhao Zhao were Chu Yiyi and Bai Ruoruo.
He is familiar with these two people!
He turned around and called the number of his little daughter who had just been recognized.
As for why he didn't broadcast the eldest daughter's video, it was naturally because he felt that the younger daughter was easier to talk to than the eldest daughter.
After all, he had been wandering outside for so many years and had just been recognized. Even if she was angry with him because of some things instigated by his ex-wife and eldest daughter, he didn't believe that she really didn't care about him as a father at all!
Ruo Ruo was confused when she received the call, because the person on the other end of the phone asked her to withdraw the lawsuit in a preaching tone.
Her eyes can see now, but they have not fully recovered. She can only see the light for one hour a day. She needs to take it slow.
But when she looked at her phone, it was a completely unfamiliar phone number.
"Excuse me, did you dial the wrong number?" Ruoruo had a good attitude and did not hang up directly because she was lying in a hospital bed and was bored every day.
Now that she was no longer short of money, Yuxuan's contract with the Amano Guild had expired, and she had returned to her classes. The doctor had told her to rest, and her parents and sister had taken it as an imperial decree. They spoke to her in a whisper, afraid anyone would disturb her. Being treated like a fragile object like this was fine for a short time, but it got really boring over time.
Especially since she couldn't come into contact with other people. Nian Nian and A Kang's wards were very close to hers, but Nian Nian also needed to rest. As for A Kang, he didn't need to rest, but because of his legs, it was impossible for him to go around and come to her ward often.
The moment Xi Wudeng heard Ruoruo's voice, he became a little dazed, and his originally serious and unhappy voice softened a little, but it was still hard.
"Aren't you Beibei? I'm your father."
Ruo Ruo subconsciously wanted to curse back, because she had become familiar with Shen Luan's voice these days, and this was not Shen Luan's voice at all.
However, she later realized that in addition to Shen Luan, she seemed to have a biological relative, a blood relative, but she didn't care much about her father.
So, now it's this dad who's calling?
"What can I do for you?"
Xi Wudeng felt a surge of anger when he heard her indifferent question. "Can't I call you if nothing's wrong?"
Ruo Ruo thought he was quite funny. After all, the bunch of words he said right at the beginning didn't seem like he was just chatting with her for no reason. When she really asked him about it, he became unhappy again.
"Of course I can, but I thought you were always busy."
Xi Wudeng was choked by her. Thinking that he did not go to recognize her as his relative as soon as he knew her whereabouts, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem, how is your eye treatment going? I was really too busy some time ago, and I've been busy recently too. Last time I finally had a day off, but your mother didn't let me see you. I'll go see you when I'm free again." Xi Wudeng rarely said a few soft words.
In fact, I also thought of what my youngest daughter looked like when she was a child.
If we ask which of his several children he has the strongest father-son relationship with, in the end, it would have to be Chu Qingsheng's two.
After all, when he had these two children, he didn't have so many worries, and because of Chu Qing's family background, he had to pretend to be a good father.
After pretending for a long time, I naturally developed the sense of responsibility as a father.
Before Ruoruo disappeared, the first thing he did every time he came home was to hold her and spin her around a few times, making her laugh.
Thinking about how she was kidnapped by a villain at such a young age, a faint fatherly love couldn't help but arise in his heart.
Ruo Ruo didn't take his words seriously. "I'm fine now. If you're busy now, I won't bother you, okay?"
Ruoruo said this and pretended to hang up the phone.
"Wait! Wait! There's still one little thing!"
Ruo Ruo put the phone next to the pillow and lay back on the bed. She said in a rather helpless tone, "Oh, okay."
Xi Wudeng's usually thick skin turned red for some reason.
But even this did not affect his next words at all.
"Is there some misunderstanding between you and Zhao Zhao? Why are you suing her?"
"Zhao Zhao? Are you talking about... the person whose online name is Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao?"
"Yes, she does a livestream. If she had any disagreements with you before, I'll ask her to apologize to you later. But we're all family, there's no need to go to court over such a trivial matter."
Ruo Ruo lay on the bed listening to him, and after he finished speaking, she slowly sighed, "I actually forgot, Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao - her last name is Xi!"
Xi Wudeng, as if someone had stepped on his tail, hurriedly said, "She's the child your Aunt Wang brought over. She doesn't have a good relationship with her father, and she changed her surname to integrate into the Xi family. But no matter what, we're family now. Or was this your sister's idea? She's vindictive, but Zhao Zhao isn't a bad kid. A lawsuit...what could she possibly do to warrant a lawsuit?"
"Didn't she tell me? Someone deliberately shared my livestream with a certain group of dirty men, causing me to be targeted. I was almost found by that kind of guy. Now those men are all in jail, and most of them are charged with more than one crime. If it weren't for the alertness of my sister and the brother in the livestream..."
"How do you know it was her who did it? Could there be any misunderstanding?" Xi Wudeng interrupted her.
"If I don't have evidence, she shouldn't be so worried now, right?"
"Alright, I get it. I'll teach Xi Zhaozhao a lesson about this, but you're fine now. Even if we really sue her, the most she'll have to pay is some money. But if it gets out, it'll be too embarrassing. Let's just leave it at that! I'll ask her to apologize to you later! And now we've found you, so you don't have to livestream anymore. Let these things on the internet be in the past!"
Although Xi Wudeng said this, he felt in his heart as if he was getting to know the true face of his stepdaughter Xi Zhaozhao for the first time.
He doesn't spend much time at home, and Xi Zhaozhao has always been a perfect and caring little cotton-padded jacket in front of him. She doesn't even spend much money. How could she have done such a thing?
He is a man himself, so he actually knows better how low the bottom line of some of his kind can be. If this was really done by Xi Zhaozhao, and she could think of such a despicable and disgusting method, then she was really underestimating her. Xi Wudeng secretly became alert in his heart.
He was always very cautious. Wang Chang's rise to power was largely due to Chu Qing's genuine insanity. After her daytime madness, she continued to act mad at night, leaving him completely exhausted. But after divorcing Chu Qing, he couldn't marry a woman from a prominent family. Marrying a gentle woman meant at least he wouldn't have to worry every night. Even if she did go crazy again, he could easily send her to a mental hospital without having to worry about her family.
But over the years, Xi Wudeng rarely let her get involved in career-related matters such as corporate shares, and they signed a prenuptial property certificate before marriage. Things only got better after Xi Xuan was born.
But he often said that he wanted to leave all the shares to Xi Xuan. Besides liking this youngest son he had in his middle age, he might also be trying the problem.
In fact, how to divide his property... He hadn't actually thought about it at all. After all, he was only in his forties and still in the prime of his life. Why should he divide his property?
