Wencai felt a little embarrassed that Cha Cha would ask such a question. Although he could hear the expectation in the child's voice, he had to tell the truth.
"Cha Cha, right? I'm not your father, I'm your mother's friend. Can you please say hello to your mother for me..."
Wencai spoke politely, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a roar from the other end of the phone. The deafening sound made her reflexively move the receiver away.
"You heartless man, you've harmed my daughter like this, and yet you're still hiding like a turtle. You're a beast who was born by a mother but not raised by one. How long are you going to hide? Get out here right now and give our family..."
She knew it was Bai Meng's voice, without having to guess. She rushed to Cha Cha, snatched the phone from her hand, and without saying a word, began to curse.
She thought the person on the other end of the phone was Wu Meng, who had ruined her daughter. How could she resist getting angry?
"No... Auntie... I... I'm a talented writer..."
Wencai hesitated for a long time and interrupted Bai Meng's words.
"What? You're a literary talent? Then why didn't you say anything earlier? I'm so sorry, I scolded the wrong person, don't take it personally. But you really did deserve it. You've seen how Keke is doing now, right?"
"Well! I learned a little bit from the newspaper."
"You're not immune to her current situation. Weren't you two getting along just fine back then? Why did you fall for someone else and cruelly abandon my Coco? If you hadn't abandoned my Coco, would she have ended up like this, becoming the talk of others?"
Bai Meng started to blame Wencai, and once he started talking, he couldn't stop. Wencai had no choice but to cooperate.
Seeing Bai Meng so angry, Cha Cha heard Ding Ding Dong walking upstairs. She was going to the study to find Qing Ke.
"I...I...I have always had Qing Ke in my heart. She was the one who gave up first. Aunt, no matter what Qing Ke is like now, I still hope to take care of her for the rest of her life."
Wencai still couldn't let go of Qingke. Even after learning that Qingke and Wu Meng had a child, he still wanted to be with Qingke and spend the rest of his life with her.
He couldn't help but express his true feelings to Bai Meng, who was somewhat flattered.
She knew exactly what kind of person Wencai was. In her eyes, at least, he was a hundred times better than the notorious Wu Meng. And Wu Meng had actually chosen Qing Ke as his target of revenge out of personal vendetta. Even with her fertile imagination, she couldn't imagine how Wu Meng could be any better than Wencai.
She tightened her grip on the phone and asked excitedly, "Is everything you said true?"
"Of course, a man's word is as good as his bond, but... I don't know if Keke will give me this opportunity."
"Do you know anything about the child?"
"I know. I love children, and so does my father. I've already made an agreement with him, and he'll listen to me in everything. As for the child, my family and I will treat her as our own and raise her well. We will never let her suffer any injustice. She's innocent."
Wencai's words moved Bai Meng to tears of gratitude. She had originally thought Qingke's happiness was ruined. With a child in tow, she was neither high nor low. Of course, she wouldn't allow her daughter to live with a butcher or a street vendor. Even if she could end up with Wu Meng, she wouldn't be happy. But she never imagined that there was such a beautiful peach blossom waiting for Qingke.
"Okay, okay, a real man's words are as good as gold. You must remember what you said today and don't lie to a half-old woman like me."
"Aunt, I guarantee on my character that nothing I said today is false."
"Okay, I believe in you, and I'm optimistic about you. Keep going, and don't give up easily. Happiness is something you have to fight for. Back then, everyone was against me and your uncle being together. If I hadn't insisted on marrying Coco's father, we wouldn't have the happy life we have today. We're living proof of that."
Bai Meng and Wencai got along very well and started chatting about family matters. Bai Meng also encouraged Wencai with her own experience.
"Auntie, I understand. Could you please call Coco for me?"
"Of course..." Bai Meng turned around and was about to give Cha Cha instructions when she realized she was gone. She glanced around the living room but didn't see Cha Cha. She could only go upstairs to call Qing Ke herself. "Wencai, wait a moment! Ke Ke is upstairs. I'll go upstairs and call her for you."
