She took out her cell phone and looked at it, her face looking a little ugly.
This call was actually from Li Zhenglin?
They had no contact for a long time, so what did he want to do by calling her now?
Gong Bingye was standing next to Xia Xingchen. He also saw Li Zhenglin's call. His eyes were deep. Why did this old guy think of calling the girl?
What a bummer!
He subconsciously wanted to take the phone from Xia Xingchen's hand and hang up on her.
But just as his hand was about to touch the phone, Xia Xingchen suddenly dodged, "I want to see what he wants to do."
Without waiting for Gong Bingye to speak, Xia Xingchen quickly pressed the answer button.
She didn't speak first, but waited for Li Zhenglin to speak first.
"Hello? Is this Xingchen?"
I don’t know if it’s because of the receiver, but Li Zhenglin’s voice sounds a little old.
Xia Xingchen asked expressionlessly, "Is there anything wrong? If not, I'll hang up."
"Wait!" Li Zhenglin was afraid that Xia Xingchen was really dead, so he hurriedly stopped her. "Can I treat you to a meal? I have something important to tell you."
Xia Xingchen: "If you have something to say, just tell me now. I won't go to your dinner party."
Thinking back to the dinner two years ago, he actually put drugs in her wine. Now, he wanted to repeat the same trick, but she would not be so stupid as to be fooled a second time.
"It's hard to explain it in a few words over the phone. We have to say it in person. You..." Before Li Zhenglin finished speaking, Xia Xingchen hung up the phone impatiently, "You're so long-winded."
Gong Bingye took Xia Xingchen's hand and comforted her, "Don't pay attention to him, let's continue to enjoy the flowers."
Xia Xingchen nodded. This little thing was not enough to affect her mood.
However, she had only taken two steps when her cell phone rang again. This time it was not a phone ringtone, but a text message ringtone.
The text message was also sent by Li Zhenglin.
Xia Xingchen took out his cell phone and saw the text message on the home screen: I'll be waiting for you at Lidu Chinese Restaurant at 8 o'clock in the evening. I will tell you the secret about your mother.
A secret about my mother?
Xia Xingchen frowned. What other secrets did Cui Jingshu have?
In other words, what does it have to do with her?!
Xia Xingchen locked the screen and continued to enjoy the flowers.
"Who sent the message?" Gong Bingye looked at Xia Xingchen's complicated expression and asked with concern.
Xia Xingchen smiled and lied, "It's okay."
Since you don't plan to go, there's no need to say it.

On the other side, Li Zhenglin was waiting for Xia Xingchen in the Chinese restaurant as promised.
He started waiting at seven o'clock and waited until eleven o'clock in the evening, but still did not see Xia Xingchen in the Chinese restaurant.
The waiter saw that Li Zhenglin had been waiting alone in the private room for several hours. The restaurant was about to close, but Li Zhenglin showed no intention of leaving.
So, the waiter couldn't help but come in and politely asked, "Mr. Li, your friend hasn't arrived yet?"
"Do you need food now?"
Li Zhenglin's eyes were empty and his face was pale. He looked at the empty table in front of him and shook his head gently, "No thanks!"
Seeing Li Zhenglin's condition, the waiter didn't urge him to leave and retreated timidly.
Looking at the empty table, Li Zhenglin laughed bitterly and muttered, "It seems that Xingchen will never forgive me as her stepfather!"
My nose felt sore and tears welled up in my eyes.
Suddenly, he coughed violently several times and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the table.

In the past two years, Linhui Entertainment has experienced great ups and downs. In addition, Li Zhenglin is getting older and his health is getting worse day by day. In the past two years, he has been worried about Linhui Entertainment and couldn't sleep all night. As a result, now... his body is overdrawn and he has liver cancer, and it is in the late stage.
His mental state was not as good as before. Other directors of Linhui Entertainment also noticed that Li Zhenglin was in poor health, but there was no substantial evidence.
Because Li Zhenglin concealed his illness so well that no one else could find any evidence.
Although there was no medical evidence, Li Zhenglin's expression and spirit had already betrayed him.
As a result, disputes arose within Linhui Entertainment, with everyone wanting to get more shares from Li Zhenglin. Until... a group of photos of Li Zhenglin vomiting blood in a restaurant were sent to the shareholders' mobile phones, and then they were really convinced that Li Zhenglin would not live long.
After getting the exact information, they united as one and wanted to force Li Zhenglin to give up his shares. He was going to die anyway, so there was no point in having these shares.
Now, Cui Jingshu's whereabouts are unknown, Xia Xingkong is dead, Xia Xingchen was kicked out by him, and even his biological daughter ran away from home...
Li Zhenglin is now alone. If these shares are not given to these shareholders, who should they be given to?
Li Zhenglin had already known about their actions.
However, his frail body was no match for them.
His special assistant also knew the news.
In Linhui Entertainment, the special assistant is the person Li Zhenglin trusts the most.
At the same time, he is also the most loyal person to Li Zhenglin.
Linhui Entertainment, inside the office.
The special assistant stood beside Li Zhenglin politely, thinking of the group of wolves lurking outside the door, and was very worried. "Chairman, what should we do next?"
"Should we ask the young lady to come back and take charge of the situation?"
Li Zhenglin said thoughtfully, "Asking her back now would be like pushing her into the fire pit."
Besides, Zishu likes acting and loves acting. She will not give up her favorite career for Linhui Entertainment.
"What should we do then?" The special assistant was extremely anxious.
Li Zhenglin turned around and asked calmly, "How's things going, Miss?"
Since finding Li Zishu, Li Zhenglin has asked his special assistant to send someone to secretly observe Li Zishu's every move.
He also knew that the last time Linhui Entertainment was in crisis, it was Li Zishu who took the risk and asked Gong Bingye for help.
This prevented Linhui Entertainment from going bankrupt.
After all, they are blood relatives. Although Li Zishu says that she does not forgive Li Zhenglin, when Linhui Entertainment is in crisis, she will still risk her life for him.
Special Assistant: "I'm filming on the set now, but..."
The special assistant hesitated to speak, but after a moment's thought, he decided to continue, "Some time ago, the young lady went to a bar with Miss Xingchen to get drunk for a man. Later, they ran into some thugs, and Miss Xingchen beat them up..."
"Then, Jing Han and the Crown Prince appeared, and Miss Xingchen left with the Crown Prince, while Miss was carried away by Young Master Jing..."
"Just two days ago, Miss, Miss Xingchen, and their friends also spent the night at Young Master Jing's house..."
Li Zhenglin looked at his special assistant and asked seriously, "Zi Shu is heartbroken?"
He knew that Li Zishu and Ji Zhong were dating because they often played and ate together.
Originally, he looked down on Ji Zhong, but thinking that Li Zishu liked him, he didn't want to break them up and make Li Zishu sad, so he reluctantly accepted it.
I didn’t expect... that Yoshihide actually dared to leave without saying goodbye!
The special assistant wasn't very clear either. "I don't know the details, but the man is gone. The prince posted a missing person notice online but couldn't find his whereabouts."
