Chapter 208: Who Cared About Her?

Jiang Zhe picked up a cup of tea. His hands, which seemed to be made of purple clay, were as clean as jade. He took a sip of tea and smiled at her. “What? Am I not your biological uncle anymore?”

“Mr. Jiang, what kind of joke is this?” Ling Sheng forced herself to smile as she started to think about what she had done when she had gotten drunk. She should not have said anything inappropriate to him!

“Sit.” Jiang Zhe could not help but smile. He was acting stupid as he pointed at the seat opposite him. Upon seeing her sit down, he passed her a cup of tea. “I told your father that you’ve been living with me.”

Ling Sheng took a sip of tea and nearly spat it out. She covered her mouth and forced herself to swallow it. She then choked and started coughing violently. She pounded her chest and looked at the man opposite her with a flushed face. “You… You… You know everything?”

Upon seeing her choke, Jiang Zhe gave her another cup of tea and said slowly, “I’m here to take you to the airport. You’ll take my private plane back.”

Ling Sheng’s eyes widened instantly, and her heart skipped a beat. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Erm… Uncle, I can go back myself. There’s no need to trouble you.”

He knew!

Was she the one who had revealed it?

That was not right. If she had said that, her biological father would have called and scolded her.

“But I’ve already told your father that you’ll go back with me.” Jiang Zhe’s voice was gentle as he poured another cup of tea and smiled at her. “He’ll pick us up at the airport.”

Ling Sheng could only leave with Jiang Zhe and sort out what Lu Xianzhi had said. He had said that two years ago, his stepfather’s company had been in trouble and his stepfather had taken a high-interest loan but had been unable to pay up. In the end, he had been killed by Zhao Hong’s men along with his mother. He had approached her to seek revenge and find evidence of her committing murder and other crimes.

In theory, it made sense. It was very logical. However, she kept feeling that something was amiss. Unfortunately, she could not find anything wrong.

Ling Sheng had never expected that her biological father would come to fetch her one day. After getting off the plane, her uncle called her father before picking up his bag and walking out.

“You brat, what kind of expression is that? Do I owe you something? Is that why I had to come all the way here to pick you up in the middle of the night?” Huo Ci shouted angrily and gritted his teeth. “Stop right there. Your old man knows that Jun Shiyan was there. Did you get together with him again?”

Ling Sheng frowned and stopped in her tracks, not saying anything.

Huo Ci was baffled. If this had happened in the past, she would have retorted long ago. She would not have been so well-behaved. Something was wrong with her emotions. He could not help but ask Jiang Zhe, “What happened to that brat? Did she get bullied by the film crew?”

Jiang Zhe could not help but look at him and suppress his laughter. “Didn’t you say you didn’t care if she died out there? That would save us the trouble.”

“Who cares about her?” Huo Ci was stubborn. Why had she gone to the mountain to film? He felt weird. Had she gotten immersed in the script and had yet to get out of character?

Some actors were like this. They were too immersed in their films. Sometimes, after filming for a long period of time, they would not be able to get over it, especially when they portrayed some more depressing characters.

He was an actor, so he had encountered this kind of thing before and had a deep understanding of it.

“Sixth Brother, Sheng Sheng is your daughter. Be nice to her. You’ve been a hands-off boss for more than twenty years. You have to cherish a smart and sensible lady like your daughter,” Jiang Zhe said earnestly.

“Smart? Sensible?” Huo Ci’s temper flared immediately. He pointed at her and growled. “Look at her attitude. Do you know how she treats me normally? Do you know how arrogant she is? Alright, I’ll give her to you.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. If Sheng Sheng wants to call me Dad, she can only call you Uncle.” Jiang Zhe knew him well. He was someone with a soft heart who said harsh words.

“Did you just change the subject? Let me ask you something. What happened to her?” Huo Ci frowned, wondering if he should tell Mei Xuelin and take her to a psychologist.

Jiang Zhe told him everything and sighed. “That girl had a good relationship with Sheng Sheng. I hope she’ll be fine in the future!”
