Wei Fu quickly delivered the letter.
Looking at the neat and beautiful small characters "Personally addressed to Mr. Shao Mingzhi" on the envelope, Shao Lin, like Mrs. Shao, silently praised the good handwriting.
Tear open the seal and take out the thin letter paper inside.
Please reply to this letter as I have something important to discuss.
Signatory: Your daughter (biological) There is a phone number below the signature.
After reading the contents of the letter, Shao Lin's first reaction was to sneer.
Apart from Yuan Jia, he had never been close to any woman in all these years. Where did his daughter come from? Either someone was playing a prank or had ulterior motives.
Shao Lin put the letter back into the envelope, threw it aside, and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Lin woke up from a nap. Seeing that it was still early, he changed into casual clothes and went to the study to deal with the documents that had 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 thrown on the ground, and handed it to Wei Fu.
Wei Fu recognized the letter as the one he took from the study at noon. He was unsure what to do 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 in his heart, but when he saw the letter in Wei Fu's hand, he said: "Give it to me."
"yes."
He wanted to see what kind of liar dared to claim that she was his biological daughter.
Shao Lin stroked his fingers over the delicate yet elegant handwriting on the letter paper and picked up the phone on the desk.
“Beep…beep…”
Time seemed to be stretched out by a pair of magic hands. The short few seconds of waiting seemed exceptionally long. Shao Lin's heart even trembled inexplicably the moment the phone was picked up.
Not sure if it was an illusion or a hallucination, Shao Lin actually felt that the voice on the other end of the phone was so familiar that it made his heart palpitate.
"Hello, who is this?"
After waiting for two seconds without hearing a response, Huang Zhiqiu on the other end of the phone asked again.
Shao Lin cleared his throat and came back to his senses. "I called the number on the letter. My last name is Shao."
This short sentence stunned Huang Zhiqiu, and the microphone in his hand almost fell out.
The voice was almost identical to the one she remembered, and the other party's introduction made her certain of the other party's identity.
Huang Zhiqiu opened his mouth to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and no sound came out.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Hearing the busy tone of the phone being hung up, Shao Lin suddenly realized something and immediately called again.
"bell--"
The phone kept ringing, 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 was not until Yun Mo, who was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, stepped into the main room that Huang Zhiqiu came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.
"Ah, Momo, I'm looking for you."
Although she felt that Huang Zhiqiu's expression was a little strange, Yun Mo didn't think much about it and reached out to answer the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
Shao Lin immediately recognized that the person who answered the phone this time was different from the previous one. His voice was soft and sweet, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
While he was trying to recall where he had heard this voice before, he calmed down and said, "Hello, my last name is Shao."
Yun Mo was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Huang Zhiqiu standing beside her.
Huang Zhiqiu sat upright in a chair, her face calm, but her clenched fingers revealed her true emotions.
"I'm looking for the person who wrote the letter."
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Yun Mo answered directly: "I wrote the letter."
"Come to the capital, and we'll meet."
"I'm busy. I have 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's in the letter, you can come and find me."
Given Shao Lin's identity and status, even his mother, Mrs. Shao, had never been so rude to him, but he couldn't get angry. Instead, he couldn't help but explain why he didn't go to Jiang City.
"I'm very busy with work these days and can't leave for the time being."
"Oh, then let's talk about it when you're done. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Shao Lin: “…”
Before he could think of what to say, the phone was really hung up.
Shao Lin held the microphone with a busy tone and was stunned for a long time before he couldn't help laughing.
On this end, after Yun Mo hung up the phone, although Huang Zhiqiu didn't ask anything, his hesitant look was enough to explain everything.
"He said he was busy and didn't have time to come over, so he asked me to go over."
Huang Zhiqiu's lips twitched for a moment before he spoke, "Momo, you've grown up, just make your own decision."
"What about you? Don't you want to see him?"
“It makes no difference whether you see it or not.”
"There is a difference. Even if it is a misunderstanding, we have to clear it up. Mom, do you want to live with this knot in your heart until you grow old?"
"Let me think about it. It's not the right time to meet now."
Although Huang Zhiqiu has a gentle personality, he is not an indecisive person. After being persuaded by his daughter, he became less resistant to meeting Shao Mingzhi.
On the other side, although Shao Lin's heart was stirred by the brief conversation with Yun Mo and her daughter, he did not lose his composure.
After looking at his recent schedule, he asked his assistant to arrange his trip to Jiang City at the end of the month.
In the evening, after finishing his business and chatting with a client, Shao Lin's originally calm heart could no longer calm down when he learned that tomorrow was the day of the college entrance examination.
——I’m busy. I have an exam.
The words the girl said on the phone kept echoing in his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder, was the exam she was talking about the college entrance examination?
As a trusted subordinate, Liang Kuan naturally noticed Shao Lin's absent-mindedness.
After seeing off the client, Liang Kuan suggested with concern: "Sir, I see you are a little tired, why don't you rest here in the hotel tonight?"
Shao Lin seemed not to have heard it, and looked out the window calmly.
Liang Kuan turned to the driver and told him to go back to the compound.
Shao Lin had a little-known habit, which was that he never stayed overnight in any hotel, including those under Shaw Brothers. Therefore, every time Shao Lin was going out of town or abroad, Liang Kuan would arrange a private residence for him in advance.
Along the way, Liang Kuan felt uneasy seeing Shao Lin with a sullen face and silent.
"Master, I see that you are in a bad mood. I am so concerned about you that I forget your taboos. You can scold me if you are unhappy, but don't make yourself sick..."
Shao Lin was thinking about something and didn't pay any attention to what Liang Kuan was saying.
"Liang Kuan."
"exist."
"To the airport."
Liang Kuan first told the driver to go to the airport, then turned to Shao Lin and asked, "Sir, are you going to pick me up at the airport?"
"Please make the 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 there are no flights, arrange a charter flight. Do you still need me to teach you such a simple thing?"
"……yes."
