Jiang Muyang was keenly aware of Bai Churan's abnormality and asked with concern.
A trace of panic flashed in Bai Churan's eyes. He raised his hand to lift his hair on the temples pretending to be calm. He smiled and shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing. It's too noisy here. I'll go to the side to answer the phone."
With that said, he got up and left with his cell phone.
And he deliberately blocked the phone screen, as if he didn't want Jiang Muyang to see the caller ID.
Jiang Muyang naturally noticed Bai Churan's little move. He frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Everyone has secrets. If Bai Churan wants to say it, she will naturally take the initiative to say it. If she doesn't want to say it, Jiang Muyang will not force it.
"Papa,"
At this time, Mengmeng grabbed Jiang Muyang's clothes.
Jiang Muyang lowered his head and saw the little girl blinking at him with her big clear eyes, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Mengmeng?"
Mengmeng's jewel-like bright eyes moved, she raised a finger and whispered: "Daddy, can you give me another piece of cake?"
His eyes were full of expectation and desire.
Jiang Muyang suddenly laughed.
This little clever guy...
Just now, when Bai Churan was around, he sternly refuted Mengmeng's request for a second piece of cake, and warned her that children should not eat too many sweets, saying that eating too many sweets would cause holes in their teeth.
Mengmeng asked Daddy for help, but...she obviously didn't understand who was the king in this family and who was just a 2...
Bai Churan and Jiang Muyang's love for Mengmeng is indistinguishable from priority to priority, but they have different styles. To put it simply, they are a bit similar to "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad".
Bai Churan is a bit stricter with Mengmeng, especially when it comes to Mengmeng's health issues, and there is no room for negotiation. But Jiang Muyang is different, he only has one word, pet!
Bai Churan was beside her just now, and Mengmeng was very well-behaved and honest, but as soon as Mommy walked away, the little girl's thoughts came to life, shaking her daddy's clothes and acting coquettishly.
"Daddy, is that okay?"
Mengmeng pursed her small mouth, and her big clear eyes blinked, instantly melting Jiang Muyang's heart.
"sure!"
Jiang Muyang agreed without thinking, stood up and went to the side to cut the cake.
"Daddy, I want more cream and chocolate!" Mengmeng said in a milky voice.
Just after he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something. He quickly covered his mouth and glanced in the direction Bai Churan was leaving. He was relieved when he saw that Mommy was not disturbed.
Jiang Muyang smiled and gave Mengmeng an "ok" gesture. Following the instructions of the little princess Mengmeng, he cut out a large piece of cake with cream and chocolate.
"Dang-dang-dang!"
Jiang Muyang returned with the cake, "Mengmeng little princess, the cake you wanted is here~"
"Wow, thank you daddy, okay? (°?‵?′??)"
Mengmeng happily blew two little kisses, then happily ate the cake with a small fork.
Seeing Mengmeng eating a mouth full of cream, Jiang Muyang had a smile on his face and felt extremely satisfied.
but……
There was always some worry in his heart.
That phone call just now...
Although Bai Churan deliberately turned the phone screen over so as not to let Jiang Muyang see the caller ID, he still saw one of the words clearly in that startling glance.
"younger brother……"
There should be another word after it.
younger brother!
Bai Churan's younger brother?
I have never heard her mention her family members, and I have never seen her contact them.
Bai Churan's family is the Bai family, a wealthy family in Guangzhou. In terms of heritage, strength and influence, it is comparable to the Su family in Dragon City!
However, according to Jiang Muyang's knowledge, the relationship between Bai Churan and her family does not seem to be harmonious, and it can even be said that it is close to a stalemate.
Bai Churan went to the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean, where she was all alone. You can imagine how difficult life was. If it weren't for Feng Xiaoxiao's help, I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to persevere, even in those most difficult days.
Here, the Bai family never helped her at all, not even asking.
Even after Bai Churan returned to China, he had no contact with his family.
So, what was the reason for this sudden call?
Jiang Muyang was a little worried.
He was not worried about the Bai family, but worried about Bai Churan being wronged.
Although Bai Churan usually behaves very strong, independent, and very idealistic and ambitious, she is a woman after all.
What's more, today is her birthday.
Jiang Muyang definitely didn't want Bai Churan to suffer any injustice.
He pondered for a moment, then looked at Feng Xiaoxiao and asked: "Xiaoxiao, do you know that Ranran has a younger brother?"
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxiao, who had been chatting and laughing with the people next to him just now, suddenly stopped moving and his face immediately darkened.
"I know……"
…
the other side.
Bai Churan walked out more than ten meters with his mobile phone and looked at the surging river in front of him with a complicated expression on his face.
"Buzz buzz! buzz buzz!"
The phone is still vibrating.
The word "brother" on the caller ID looked very ironic in Bai Churan's eyes.
The call just now was automatically rejected due to timeout. This is the second time I have called.
"call--"
Bai Churan took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello."
"Happy birthday, sister!"
A male voice came out immediately, the voice was a little sharp and a little frivolous.
"Thank you, Xiaochuan." Bai Churan said lightly.
Xiaochuan, whose full name is Baichuan, is Bai Churan's half-brother, two years younger than her.
Bai Chuan said: "My dear sister, today is your birthday, but why do I feel that you are not happy at all? Did you suffer any injustice outside, or was someone bullying you? You can come home, family
It is your most solid backing and the warmest harbor."
"Xiaochuan, what exactly do you want to say?" Bai Churan will never forget how Baichuan excluded him and suppressed his appearance.
And in all these years, he has never asked her once.
Now I suddenly get a call, saying happy birthday and asking for help. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"Ha ha!"
Bai Chuan laughed twice and said: "My dear sister, why are you so wary of me? Let's let everything go in the past. No matter what unpleasant things happened between us, we are still the same.
We are blood relatives, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected, it’s not like that, haha, it’s really not like that.”
"Since there is nothing else, let's do this."
With that said, Bai Churan was about to hang up the phone.
Bai Chuan said quickly: "No, sister, wait a minute, don't be so hasty. I'm calling this time for three main things. The first one is, of course, to wish you a happy birthday."
"The second thing is that Dad will have his birthday in a few days, his sixtieth birthday. He was telling me a few days ago that he misses you and hopes that you can celebrate his birthday with our dad this year."
"There's another thing...well, this matter is a bit complicated to talk about. It's not convenient to talk about it on the phone. We have to communicate in person."
Bai Chuan asked with a smile: "Sister, you will come home, right? Come back to celebrate my father's birthday!"
Bai Churan was silent.
To say whether she has any resentment towards her father in her heart, she certainly does, but after all, blood is thicker than water and she cannot let go of him no matter what.
Moreover, my father is getting older. He has suffered from many hidden diseases due to overwork in his youth, and his health has never been very good. To be honest, he may not be around for too long.
But……
What happened five years ago is always like a fishbone stuck in Bai Churan's throat. It's usually fine, but once he swallows, it will sting unbearably.
Bai Churan was a little confused for a moment.
"Sister, dad fell down while running in the morning last week..." Bai Chuan said suddenly.
"How is dad? Is he okay?" Bai Churan's heart was immediately tugged and he asked quickly.
"well……"
"Don't sigh, hurry up and say it!" Bai Churan was worried.
Bai Chuan then said: "Dad originally didn't let me tell you because I was afraid that you would worry, but in the end I let it slip. Dad's health has not been very good. As you know, when I was running in the morning, I was hit by an untied dog.
The dog was frightened, fell down, and dislocated its hip bones. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so it didn’t cause any major problems. It’s just that it’s not convenient to move now, but everything else is fine. It’s okay, you don’t have to worry, sister, you can work hard with peace of mind.
, I will take good care of dad. So what, dad called me, I will go and help him, that’s it, goodbye."
"Xiaochuan, please wait a moment, you..."
Before Bai Churan could finish speaking, he heard a "beep beep beep" sound coming from his cell phone.
The phone has been hung up.
She called again, but no one answered.
Bai Churan frowned, looking at the sparkling river water under the light, a sad look on her pretty face.
She is a little worried about her father.
"Can you tell me about it?"
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded from behind.
