“Is that true?”
“Is what true?” second brother asked me.
“That Leon haven’t left Hai City. Is he really in Hai City?”
“I’m not sure. It’s only my conjecture. Nevertheless, I believe there’s little chance that he would abandon you. Don’t worry, I will have someone to search for you that if there was his departure record recently.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
“You are my sister. It’s my responsibility to help you. There’s another thing that I want to tell you. I asked the people who participated in what happened yesterday, and they said that eldest brother ordered at the beginning that no one can hurt you. So don’t hate him too much as he was only using you to threat me. He wasn’t trying to hurt you. What I said is true.”
I nodded and said, “I can feel it. But is that all you want to tell me?”
He paused for a second and said, “There’s something else that I’m going to tell you, but I will say it later. Little sister, the Beancurd Braised in Soy Sauce in the restaurant we are going to tastes delicious. Eat as more as you can!”
“Why do you want to take me out for dinner today? To comfort me for want happen yesterday? Or do you have something special to say?” I asked tentatively.
His handsome face seemed to be composed. He said, “We haven’t came out for meal for a long time. As long as today we are all free, we should have a meal and drive away our cares.”
We arrived at the restaurant we ordered talking to each other all the way. It was an ordinary Chinese restaurant . The specialties were all local dishes. It was quiet popular. Second brother and I walked through the back door and went up to the box on the third floor .
When we had just sat down, his phone rang. After the phone, he told me that Jiye Su was nearby. He haven’t had lunch neither. He asked me that if it is alright for him to join us.
I understood, it had been arranged already. So I nodded.
They must had something to tell me inviting to have dinner. They arranged it because it would be strange if they had invite me alone.
After a while, Jiye arrived. Meeting him again after I heard him saying that I’m his biological daughter yesterday, I actually didn’t feel close to him still. The distant between us did not narrow, on the contrary, I felt a bit embarrassed.
“The restaurant had opened for years. It used to be a small restaurant. Although it had developed, the flavour haven’t changed as the boss have always been the chef himself,” Jiye was trying to find a topic in order to defuse embarrassment. I found that he was a little strained too.
“It is delicious. I like the food here too,” second brother said after him.
Then no one spoke again, the atmosphere became awkward once more.
Dishes were served one by one. The Beancurd Braised in Soy Sauce looked nice, shining with golden shimmer. I had a tasted. It was soft and delicious. It was really good.
Jiye brought a bottle of wine himself. It was a decades-old wine from a famous Chateau in France. I didn’t know how much did it worth. I guessed the price could surely compare to that of a midsize car.
I wanted to say that I didn’t drink, but I knew he wanted me to have a taste. If I didn’t drink, he would be disappointed. I didn’t want to let him down.
I took a slip. It was extraordinary. After this slip, thousand dollars were drank down.
Then we continued to eat. They kept quiet and I didn’t know what to say neither.
Jiye started first, “Nala, where is your registered residence right now?”
I said it was still in Hai City.
“If you agree, I want you to transfer it to our place. How do you like that?” Jiye said with perturbation.
My heart tremble. I asked him why should I transfer it trying to stay as calm as I can.
“After you changed it, I want to transfer some of my personal assets to you. Although it won’t be influenced by registered residence, I still want you to change it,” Jiye said.
I could hear that he wanted to give me some properties. It was surely not properties tht worth millions, but hundred millions.
“These years, excepting shares of the Group, I also had some personal investment.
I invested few companies, which all develops well, and some of them already went public. They weren’t cashed out. I want to give them to you as personal properties as long as you are willing to transfer your registered residence over, ” Jiye said.
As I expected, he was about to give me a big gift.
“Thank you chairman, but actually I’m wealthy . Leon transferred lots of assets to me. I’m a billionaire right now. I don’t need more money, ” I said flatly.
Jiye hadn’t thought that I would refuse. He stunned for a moment and glanced at second brother.
“Father is out of good intention. How could you turn him down, sister. Father’s properties worth a lot. I’m actually a little jealous of you, ” he said.
“I truly don’t need that much money. I use to be poor and short of money, but I’m not now. I lives well right now. This sum of money is just a figure for me. However, I’m curious that why do you want to give me your possessions?”
It became more awkward. Second brother and Jiye looked at each other.
“There’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you, but I don’t know how, ” Jiye said slowly.
“You can call a spade a spade, ” I was nervous again.
Jiye opened his mouse, and then closed it. It looked like that he was having a hard time. At last, he looked at second brother and said, ” Wenbei, you say it,”
“The thing is, little sister, you are actually not a nominal daughter of father, but his biological daughter. You are my sister Nan Su.” After the words, he took a long sigh and looked at me tensely.
I didn’t say anything. I was trying to understand the word. Although I already knew the truth, but it felt different when they told me face to face.
“I know you must feel inconceivable, but father have checked the DNA that you are biologically his daughter! You are sister Nan Su. You’re a daughter of the Su family. It could not be wrong,” he couldn’t stay calm anymore. He started to be excited.
I raised the wine glass and took another sip and said, “If I’m really Nan Su, then who’s the one dead years ago? Who’s the one in the cemetery? How did I come back to life?”
They didn’t answer, not saying a word.
“We can’t explain it in a short time. But you are really my daughter…”
I laughed and said, “Normally, I should be happy that I suddenly have a father who is a billionaire. At least I became a silver-spoon kid. Nevertheless I cannot be happy as all this happens too fat. If I tell others that I’m Nan Su, a person who’s death for years, I bet no one would believe it.”
