Chapter 344 - A Missing Man (2/2)
“You were too young to understand anything. You don’t have to keep your promise.” She advised her daughter. “You should have your own life.”
At that time, Yaya only heard that Yu Sihan was about to leave. She cried loudly. Although she didn’t understand what marriage was, she agreed while crying. Since then, she hadn’t taken off the pendant.
“I’m fine!” Yaya blinked. “Who is better than me at 20?”
Yes, Yaya had no worries about food and clothing. Everything was the best and was not from home but from her missing fiancé.
“Don’t trust Yu Sihan so much, Yaya! He…”
“A Miao.” Shen Xinglan opened the door and came in.
A Miao concealed her sad look and lowered her head. “He ran away without saying a word. It’s not worth waiting for him for so many years. Besides, he’s an old man.”
“Mom…” Yaya helplessly shook A Miao’s hand. “Even if you are right, we have to wait for him to come back and make it clear, right? Otherwise, if I married someone else and he came back suddenly, it’s unfair to everyone, isn’t it?”
Shen Xinglan touched Yaya’s head. His daughter was just 20 years old, but sensible and affectionate.
“Let’s go. Yaya has been flying all day. Let her have an early rest.” Shen Xinglan held A Miao. “She’s not leaving again. You can talk with her every day.”
A Miao held back her tears and kissed Yaya goodnight. Then she cried when she returned to her room.
“Tell me… what he wants to do? For eight years, our Yaya has grown from a little girl to an adult, but he disappeared.”
Yu Sihan didn’t agree that Yaya and Yu Sihan would stay together, but they were destined to entangle for a lifetime. But, now…
“Do you think that he ran to the island to find that damn treasure? Then when he comes back, he will take Yaya away and trade the treasure for our daughter…”
Shen Xinglan took a towel to wipe her tears. “Don’t be so pessimistic. I sent someone to see the island, but he is not there.”
When it came to that island, there was an episode. A Miao’s father didn’t forgive himself in the end, so he returned to the island with her mother’s ashes.
“I will make atonement for myself and for the islanders.” Because he had made them all miserable all these years, he wanted to lead others back to life now.
All these years, Shen Xinglan had been sending people to look for Yu Sihan. As a result, the guy was hiding on the island where they first met. But the whole island was blocked. Lil Xi thought of hundreds of ways, but he couldn’t get in.
Shen Xinglan didn’t tell A Miao the news. Only these several men knew it.
“I suspect that something may have happened to him, or that he could not get out, or he has to stay there,” Le Yi had said at that time. Later, they had no idea, so they had to pretend not to know it.
Shen Xinglan even had an expectation. If Yu Sihan didn’t come out all his life, his daughter would be safe. Even though she liked Yu Sihan now, but after a long time, when she grew up a little bit, she would meet a man who loved her…
Certainly, the premise was that Yu Sihan would never come out.
“Yaya just came back. Maybe she didn’t think so much. You always mention this, which makes her think more.” Shen Xinglan put the pillow down for her. “We’ll just ignore it. Yaya wants our support, so don’t put too much pressure on her, all right?”
A Miao lay down with a sigh. “I’m just worried about her.” “If Yu Sihan were here, I’d be more secure. He’s gone, and I have to be afraid that he’ll appear one day and take Yaya away.”
“I won’t let him take Yaya away. Sleep now!” Shen Xinglan pulled open the quilt to lie under and kissed A Miao’s forehead.
Early in the morning on the second day, Le Yi and his family came.
“Yaya!” as soon as Chu Bai came in, he shouted, “your dear brother has come. Come down quickly!”
Yaya ran down the stairs smiling all the way and rushed into Chu Bai’s arms.
Chu Bai hugged her and turned around. “Wow! You’re so light. I’ll take you to eat delicious food every day!”
“Can you go?” Ling Lang glanced at him. “Aren’t you going to take part in the talent show and have closed-door training?”
“Baibai is finally going to be a star?” Yaya hugged Ling Lang. “Auntie Lang, do you agree?”
Le Yi beside her touched her head and smiled. “Your Aunt Lang said that she didn’t care and lets him go to the entertainment circle to survive by himself.”
Chu Bai did an advertisement when he was 10 years old. He had been inspired to be a star since then. This year, he graduated from film school.
He said, “I am a handsome young boy receiving professional training, handsome and talented. I will be popular certainly.”
Yaya chuckled and asked Shen Xinglan, “Isn’t there an entertainment company in our group? You can just go in.”
If Chu Bai exposed his identity, he could directly act as the hero and his road to stardom would be smooth.
“Auntie Lang said that she’d leave him alone and not control him.” A Miao patted Chu Bai on the shoulder and said, “I’m sorry that Chu Bai has to start from the lowest level.”
Chu Bai held A Miao and acted like a spoiled child. “Auntie Miao, you can help me secretly, but don’t let my mother and father know!”
“You wish!” Ling Lang pulled him aside. “Leave him alone. He will know that it is hard to survive in that circle when he fails badly.”
Ling Lang never thought that her son would be a star. She could accept that Chu Bai would not be a policeman or a lawyer. She could even accept him being a doctor or a killer, but he couldn’t be a star.
“Do you really want to go?” After dinner, Yaya and Chu Bai chatted on the terrace.
Chu Bai flicked her forehead. “Of course. I am a rising star!”
“It’s a pity that your skills will not be put into practice.”
