Chapter 134 She refused to get ou (2/2)
”Aunty, this is Mei Li, Ryn's manager,” Mei Li introduced herself politely.
”Mei Li? Well, is something wrong with Ryn?”
”Actually...” Mei Li paused and looked at the still-closed door and the people in front of it, still trying to coax Ryn to open the door.
”Mei Li?”
Mei Li took a deep breath. ”Aunty, I'm very sorry to interrupt you but...”
”But what?” Why couldn't this child just speak in a complete sentence? Why was she keep pausing and stopping, making Ryn's mother felt more nervous and worried? ”Mei Li, can you speak properly? Has something happened to my daughter? Jeremy told me she's alright and even eat and sleep right.”
Mei Li was still lost for words. How could she tell Ryn's mother without making the elder woman worried?
”Give it to me,” Jeremy held out his hand as Mei Li was still lost, unable to speak.
Mei Li handed it in relieved. She was glad when Jeremy stepped up to take control.
”Aunty, this is Jeremy,” Jeremy introduced himself.
”Jeremy, thank God. Can you explain what happened to Ryn? I can't understand what Mei Li is talking about.”
”It's like this. You know how bad the news today and we decided to keep it from Ryn,” he explained.
”Yes, I know. Even our neighbours come to ask us about this.”
”My team and Mei Li's are working on it while Mika accompany Ryn here, away from paparazzi eyes.”
”Then? What's wrong now?”
”You do know Ryn is the kind who did not care what others think about her but today, she suddenly wanted to read the gossips.”
”That girl. So, you let her read?” Ryn's mother groaned loudly. Sometimes she could not understand what was inside Ryn's mind. Ryn did not inherit her or her husband's personality. She did not have any hippy spirit in her bone. Ryn loved eating meat so much, so-so much until they wondered whether they had brought back the wrong baby from the hospital.
But she had a natural childbirth at home!
So it was impossible to say Ryn was mistaken for her daughter.
Ryn is her biological daughter.
”Actually... until now she still unable to read,” Jeremy spoke slowly, bringing her back to the present.
”Then?” she asked impatiently. This Jeremy has turned into that useless Mei Li. Cannot even speak properly. So frustrating!
”I'm not sure what happened exactly but right now Ryn is locking herself in the room,” Jeremy was confused too. He tried to understand Mika's explanation but Mika was too agitated to speak clearly. All the tears and hiccups did not help much too. In fact, it made him even more confused.
Ryn, the Ryn he knew and loved, never behaved like this.
”You're not sure why she's behaving like that?”
”No, aunty. But I am sure she hasn't read anything since this morning.” He was sure of that. Mika promised him not to hold onto her mobile phone today and kept it safely in the drawer of her nightstands. The maids and even the butler would not dare to use a mobile phone when working. Even if Ryn requested to borrow their phone, they would not give in. He already reminded them a few times before he left this morning.
”Then why suddenly she...”
”That is why we are calling you, aunty. We would like you to help us persuading Ryn to open the door.”
”What?” she frowned. What did he mean by that? How could she help persuading her daughter if she was so far away from there? ”How do you want me to do it? Are you... Do you want me to go there? But...” it would take hours for her to reach her daughter.
”No... No. No. No. No. You... We don't want to disturb you so much. And it will take some time for you to come here,” Jeremy said hurriedly. It seemed like Ryn's mother misunderstood them.
”Then?” truthfully she was getting more confused as the conversation go on. What did these kids have in mind?
”Actually... like this. We are hoping for you to talk with Ryn, try to coax her to open the door,” Jeremy requested slowly.
”You mean talking through phone?”
Now she finally understood. These kids... Why couldn't they just speak it properly? Make it clear so she would not get confused and might misunderstand with their stutter.
