Chapter 196 He came to him himself
Just when Bai Yaoyao was wondering whether she should buy some more "shit-flavored candy beans" to deal with Ling Yi and Gu Yuanyuan first, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Bai Yaoyao took out her cell phone and gestured to Gu Yuanyuan.
Gu Yuanyuan quickly let go of her hand, "Sister Yaoyao, I'll go over there and take a look. Please answer the phone!"
Bai Yaoyao nodded at her, took her phone and quickly walked out of the studio and into the empty meeting room next to it, then quickly answered the call.
"Hey! Aunt?!"
"Yaoyao! I saw you guys just finished the live broadcast, so I called you. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"No, what's the matter, aunt? Is there anything wrong?"
My aunt knew that she was busy and usually sent her WeChat messages instead of calling her. This time she suddenly called her, there must be something going on.
Sure enough, after Bai Yaoyao asked this question, Bai Shuzhi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.
After a long while, he stammered and asked, "Yaoyao, has anyone come to see you recently?"
"Looking for me? No one?" Bai Yaoyao frowned. The only people who came to see her recently were Gu Chengfeng and Monkey, but her aunt didn't know them at all, so it must not be them. Who else could it be? Who would make her aunt call to express her concern?
Bai Yaoyao thought of everyone's enthusiasm during the live broadcast just now, and suddenly had a guess in her mind.
Every time she brought something back, she would ask Ling Yi to send a portion to her aunt's family, and only tell others that it was a benefit from the company. Could it be that someone knew that she worked at Bailongma, so they wanted to buy some goods through her aunt through the back door?
"What's wrong? Auntie, did someone ask you to help get something for me?"
Bai Shuzhi on the other end of the phone was stunned. She didn't expect Bai Yaoyao to guess this.
"No! Your appearance has changed so much that many people can't recognize you. They don't even know that the White Dragon Horse anchor is you. I hid all the good things you sent me! No one else knows about it!"
Bai Shuzhi was stunned and then quickly explained.
Bai Yaoyao was a little surprised: "Then who do you think will come to see me, auntie?"
Bai Shuzhi was stuck for a moment. There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment. Then Bai Yaoyao heard the faint voice of her uncle-in-law next to her, "Just tell Yaoyao directly. At least let the child be mentally prepared!"
Bai Yaoyao was even more puzzled and was about to ask.
Then I heard Bai Shuzhi say cautiously, "Yaoyao, did your dad come to see you?"
boom!
Bai Yaoyao only felt like a thunder exploding in her ears.
dad?
Xia Shizhong?!
Why did my aunt suddenly mention this person? !
Ever since my mother died, my aunt has hated this person so much that she basically never mentions him!
Could it be that Xia Shizhong actually returned to China?
Did you also go to find your aunt?
"No... What's wrong? Did he come to see you?" Bai Yaoyao tried her best to keep her voice steady, but her voice was a little hoarse and deep.
Bai Shuzhi on the other end was probably in a state of emotional fluctuation, so she didn't notice Bai Yaoyao's abnormality. She just sighed and continued:
"This morning, your...father came to our house unexpectedly, and he asked me if I knew where you were."
Bai Shuzhi paused, her voice weakened a bit, "Yaoyao, he suddenly divorced your mother that year, and left for so many years without any news. Now he suddenly comes back to find you. I don't know what he wants to do, so I didn't tell him where you were, and I dealt with it..."
Bai Yaoyao stood there frozen, holding her phone.
Unexpectedly, while she was thinking about how to find out about him through Brother Kun, he actually came to her on his own?
You haven't come to see her for so many years, why are you suddenly coming to see her now?
What on earth does he want to do?
Bai Yaoyao had a lot of questions in her mind, but she could only put them aside at the moment. Instead, she gently comforted Bai Shuzhi, who was obviously a little uneasy on the other end of the phone, "It's okay, auntie. Next time he comes to see you, just give him my phone number!"
It wasn't like she had done anything wrong, so why was she hiding from him? Moreover, the questions that had been hidden in her heart for many years should have been clarified long ago.
"But..." Bai Shuzhi on the other end of the phone was obviously hesitant and a little indignant, "When your mother was seriously ill, he was so cruel as to divorce you! This time he came to see you, but he didn't even mention your mother! A man like him is simply unfit to be a husband..."
Bai Shuzhi said a few words indignantly, but seemed to be interrupted by her uncle-in-law next to her, and stopped talking.
Bai Yaoyao smiled self-deprecatingly. She knew that her aunt had always complained about Xia Shizhong for abandoning them when her mother was seriously ill. He abandoned his wife and daughter when he was seriously ill, and ignored her mother after he returned. Such a heartless and ungrateful man turned out to be her father.
Moreover, there is the older lady who looks not much younger than her. Could it be that Xia Shizhong had an affair when he divorced his mother?
In fact, these speculations have been lingering in Bai Yaoyao's mind since she met Xia Shizhong in the United States, but it is not easy to tell her aunt now.
"It's okay, auntie. I'm grown up now. Just let him come to me. I just happen to have some questions I want to ask."
Bai Shuzhi: "Are you sure? Do you want your aunt to come and accompany you?"
Auntie's worry was like a warm current that warmed Bai Yaoyao's heart, but she still refused with a smile, "No need, auntie! I can do it myself! Don't worry!"
"Well! Okay! If there is anything, you must tell me in time! Auntie will always stand by you!"
"Yes! Thank you, auntie!"
"This kid! What are you thanking me for? You're so polite!" Bai Shuzhi changed the subject, "By the way! Yaoyao! I have another question to ask you! Did you buy me that house in town?!"
House?! Bai Yaoyao was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized!
Ling Yi is quite fast at doing things! He has already finished it!
She quickly replied with a smile: "Hehe! Yes! I recently received a bonus, so the first thing I thought of was to honor you, my aunt!"
"Don't laugh with me, kid! I'm telling you! I can't have this house! I'll transfer the name to yours later!"
"Don't worry, auntie. I've already bought a villa in Shanghai!"
"What?! You..."
"..."
Bai Yaoyao and Bai Shuzhi chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go find Ling Yi to thank him for helping her with the house matter, the phone rang again.
When she looked down, it turned out to be Hong Chunlai? What did he want to see her about?
Could it be that the research on saplings and seeds by Academician Zurich has yielded some results?
But then again, this time when she returned to Blue Star, she didn't seem to see Hong Chun coming. Even Ling Yi took her to unload the goods!
Bai Yaoyao felt something was wrong and pressed the answer button. As soon as the call was connected, Hong Chunlai's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end.
"Ms. Bai, I heard from Mr. Ling that you are in the company. Could you please come to the fifth floor of the laboratory building? I have something urgent to discuss with you!"
Hong Chunlai has been dealing with her for a long time. He is a smooth person, but he pays great attention to details.
When talking to others, he usually has a gentle and considerate leadership style. It's rare to see him so anxious. Just now, he could hear heavy breathing on the phone.
Bai Yaoyao didn't know what the urgent matter was, so she quickly responded, "Okay! I'll be there right away!"
