Chapter 99 Why Didn't You Answer the Phone?

After Zhou Hongsheng left, Su Mo was left alone and her mind was a mess.

She didn't even know if she should believe his words. After all, Qin Xiuwen's death had shaken the entire A City. That kind of thing couldn't be faked.

But how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Qin Xiuwen and Zhou Hongsheng turned out to be brothers.

Su Mo looked up at the sky, thinking to herself, "Should I believe his words?"

However, that person just now was clearly someone she was familiar with. The past ten years that they had gotten along couldn't be erased at all just because of a mole.

A voice in her brain kept reminding her not to believe him, "He is lying to you!"

The sudden ringing of the bell woke her up. Su Mo pressed the answer button in a daze. The cheerful voice of the young man came out. "Sis, where are you?"

The young man, who had just escaped from control, was eager to see his beloved sister, but he did not know what this call meant at this moment.

When she heard Qin Suche's voice, Su Mo's mind calmed down. A voice without warmth slowly sounded, "Who is Zhou Hongsheng?"

The person on the other side of the line seemed to have taken a deep breath. The black color in Su Mo's eyes condensed and she coldly repeated, "Tell me, is Zhou Hongsheng your father?"

Qin Suche was so scared that he almost threw his mobile phone on the ground. Listening to the cold voice in the receiver, he felt his heart cool down bit by bit. "Sis..."

"Don't call me sister!" Su Mo shouted into the phone.

"Let me ask again, who exactly is Zhou Hongsheng?" She took a deep breath, feeling extremely depressed.

"Zhou Hongsheng is my father's brother." Qin Suche's frightened voice sounded in Su Mo's ears, but the answer was not what she wanted.

Su Mo sneered and said to the person on the phone, "You really are not surnamed Su. I don't want to see you again!"

Ignoring the cries over the other side of the line, Su Mo hung up the phone heartlessly.

After Lu Shaoqi picked up an inexplicable phone call, she immediately picked up her things and went to look for Su Mo, but she did not find Su Mo at the school gate.

She immediately called Su Mo and was ready to tell Su Mo a piece of good news, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get through.

What Su Mo did not know was that the show that she and Qin Suche had just performed had been taken as a video and uploaded to the school website.

Countless comments and forwards swarmed over, once pushing Su Mo to the front of the public.

Unfortunately, all of this was not what she was paying attention to. Right now, all she could think about was her aunt's appearance before she died. That feeling of fear and helplessness was simply enough to drive Su Mo crazy.

Everything seemed to return to six years ago, and the fear of darkness descended once more.

With her brain capacity, she could only think of one person.

Su Mo dialed the phone with trembling hands. The phone rang several times before it was picked up. As soon as it was connected, Su Mo cried out, "Xiao Nanye, where are you? I'll go find you now, okay?"

She did not hear that familiar voice, and her tears fell even more urgently.

"Xiao Nanye, are you still angry with me?"

Receiving no response, Su Mo suddenly burst into tears, "Xiao Nanye, can you stop being angry? I want to see you!"

Dudu... Dudu... Dudu...

The busy tone from the phone shocked Su Mo for a moment. When she reacted, she found that the phone had already been hung up.

Xiao Nanye actually hung up the phone.

When she called again, his phone was already turned off.

Because she was too shocked, she forgot to be sad.

Su Mo was stunned for a long time before she remembered to call Lisa. She did not expect that no one would pick up her call.

This time, Su Mo really didn't know what to do. After a while, she remembered to call Ken, "Ken, do you know where Xiao Nanye is? I want to see him!"

After getting into the car, Su Mo received a call from Lu Shaoqi.

Before she could speak, she heard a pile of scolding from Lu Shaoqi. "Damn you. Su Mo, where did you run off to? Your brother was crying like his father was dead. He's so dirty. Come and take him away."

Su Mo bit her lips and swallowed the sobs in her throat. She took a deep breath and said, "Little Qi, I will explain this to you in the future. Goodbye!" Without waiting for Lu Shaoqi to ask, she directly hung up the phone.

In the car, Su Mo kept calling Xiao Nanye and Lisa, but one's phone was off and the other didn't answer her call all the time.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Su Mo asked herself again and again, thinking to herself, "Was he still angry about what happened in the morning?"

Since she could not contact Lisa, she could only look for someone else.

Just as Su Mo was about to call Jiang Shengze, the car suddenly turned. The mobile phone fell on the seat and her body fell on the car door.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Just as Su Mo got up, she was thrown to the other side.

"Something might have happened. Hold on tight. I'm going to speed up."

Hearing Ken's words, Su Mo had not realized the seriousness of the matter and asked him, "Ken, what's wrong?"

Ken glanced at her through the rearview mirror and then quickly looked out the window. "The two cars behind are very close. They seem to be coming for us."

Su Mo looked back in surprise and saw a black Toyota coming from behind. Although Ken tried his best to avoid it, the car was still grazed.

Su Mo was slammed into the car door again, and half of her arm went numb.

Just as she sat up, she heard Ken say, "Sit tight. I'm going to speed up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car turned in a hurry, and then the speed suddenly increased to the fastest. Fortunately, she reacted fast enough to avoid the tragic end of being thrown out of the window.

Seeing Ken's serious expression, Su Mo finally realized that something had happened.

At the venue of the press conference in the Ling'an Building, the equipment with the logo of major media could be seen everywhere. The reporters were all looking forward to the start of the press conference.

As soon as Xiao Nanye entered, the reporters present immediately stood up and rushed to hand him the microphones.

"Why does President Xiao suddenly want to join the jewelry industry? Is there a special reason?"

"There are rumors that Miss Ye Yan rejected the endorsement of a famous jewelry brand a while ago. Is it for the sake of the brand endorsement that she will sign up for your company in the future?"

"According to Ling'an Group's staff, President Xiao has been close to a female colleague in a certain department recently. Many people saw you coming to the company in the same car. I wonder how Mr. Xiao will explain this matter."

"How does President Xiao view office romance?"

"What is your motive for creating this jewelry brand? President Xiao, please answer it."

A series of questions swarmed over but only made Xiao Nanye frown slightly. He walked through the venue expressionlessly and walked to the organizer's seat.

Lisa, who was behind him, was in charge of escorting and comforting the media.

"Friends of the media, please calm down. I know that everyone has a lot of questions. Please sit down first. We will leave some time for Q&A session later."

With Lisa's reassurance, the media no longer clutched to Xiao Nanye. When he came over, he looked at Jiang Shengze. After a simple eye contact, he sat down next to him.

Jiang Shengze stretched his head over and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I say, you don't look too well. Did you overwork yourself last night?"

"Do you want to know?" Xiao Nanye turned to glance at him.

"I don't want to know."

Jiang Shengze shrank his neck and whispered, "I didn't say anything! I just wanted to remind you that it's wrong to be so dissatisfied all day."

Whoosh!

"I didn't say anything!" Being swept by a cold look from Xiao Nanye, Jiang Shengze felt his body freeze.

It was obviously a self-inflicted move, but fortunately, the other party did not intend to pursue it.

Xiao Nanye had been feeling ill at ease today. He thought to himself, "In the morning, I left in a huff, but that woman did not even make a call. How hateful!"

"She cried like that for another man. Shouldn't I be angry?"

"Damn it, if I hadn't gone abroad with my grandfather, how would that man have been able to curry favor with Su Mo? Damn him!"

"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!"

"That hateful woman!"

Xiao Nanye touched his pocket. The mobile phone was not with him. He thought to himself, "Maybe I left it in the office when I came out. What if Su Mo called at this time..."

The press conference had already begun, and it was not convenient for Xiao Nanye to leave, so he asked Lisa to help him get his mobile phone. He did not want to miss any phone calls.

"Go to the office and look for the president's phone. Bring it here as soon as you find it." Lisa was unable to get free right now, so she grabbed Zheng Fei'er.

"I know, Sister Lisa."

Zheng Fei'er found Xiao Nanye's mobile phone on his desk and was about to send it to him, but she was delayed when she met Lin Xueyi at the door.

Lin Xueyi came to get the documents. Seeing the mobile phone in Zheng Fei'er's hand, she smiled and said, "Sister Fei'er, is the one in your hand the president's?"

"Sister Lisa can't leave, so she asked me to come over. What about you? Have you prepared all the documents for the public relations department's press conference?" Zheng Fei'er nodded.

"I still need this." Lin Xueyi raised her hand and waved the folder in her hand.

As the two of them spoke, they walked toward the elevator. Lin Xueyi's gaze would occasionally fall on Zheng Fei'er. "Sister Fei'er, I remember you saying that you really like that actor called Shen Hanyu."

"Yes!" Zheng Fei'er blinked her starry eyes and held her hands in a love-struck manner. "Brother Hanyu is the most perfect dream lover in women's hearts."

"What if I tell you that I just happened to meet him?" Lin Xueyi covered her mouth and smiled at her.

"Where? Where is Brother Hanyu?"

Zheng Fei'er opened her eyes wide and grabbed Lin Xueyi's arm. "Xueyi, you must be joking! Where did you see him?"

Lin Xueyi felt very uncomfortable being caught by her and was not angry. She told her good-naturedly, "He's downstairs! He seems to have just returned from the crew. He came to the company today to report. When I went down, I met him in the elevator."

At this time, Zheng Fei'er's mind was already filled with him countless times, and she kept repeating, "What should I do? An autographed photo from him! My Brother Hanyu!"

Seeing that Zheng Fei'er was tempted, Lin Xueyi kindly reminded her, "If you go down now, you might be able to see him!"
