Chapter 504: Chapter 511

Chapter 511 Honest Dabao Bai Hua waited for a long while before a childish voice finally sounded from the other end of the phone.

“Hello, who is this?”

Kids’ voices sounded all alike. For a moment, Bai Hua could not differentiate if it was Dabao or Erbao.

“Are you Dabao or Erbao? Where is your daddy?”

“I am Erbao,” Dabao responded.

Erbao, who was listening next to him, was beyond anxious. What is Dabao trying to do? Why is he pretending to be me?

Dabao blinked a few times at Erbao and signaled her to keep calm.

“I see. Erbao, where is your daddy?” Bai Hua asked.

“Daddy is working in the study room. He is on his other phone. Who are you?” Dabao asked.

Erbao could not wrap her head around it. I thought he didn’t lie as he always said he was an honest person. How could he lie so naturally? The problem is—he is lying by using my name. I will be held responsible as well!

Erbao was beyond exasperated, but still, she did not dare to make a sound.

“I see. Please ask him to answer the phone then,” Bai Hua uttered.

“He is busy. Is there anything? You can tell me. I’ll pass the message to him,” Dabao responded.

“I’m Grandma. Can you recognize my voice?” Bai Hua asked.

“Hello, Grandma,” Dabao greeted.

“Hello. Please ask your daddy to call me back later.”

“Okay, but he is really busy. I’m afraid he might forget it later. It would be better if you could tell me directly what it is about. And I’ll pass the message to him. Then he won’t forget about it.”

“Okay then. Please tell him to come to the presidential room in Nanting No.1 Hotel. I need to discuss something with him,” Bai Hua said.

“Okay. Is it something important?” Dabao asked.

“Why are you asking so many questions? Don’t bother yourself with the adult’s business. Just relay my message.” Bai Hua sounded somewhat impatient.

“All right. I got it,” Dabao responded.

Hanging up the phone, Dabao fell into deep pondering.

“Dabao, how could you use my name and lie? You shouldn’t have done that.” Erbao sounded displeased.

“It would be more believable if it was you,” Dabao explained.

“Is that so?” Erbao asked skeptically.

“Of course. Why else would I do that? Follow me.”

Dabao took Nan Chen’s phone and ran to the room. Erbao immediately followed him.

They shut the door behind them.

“Why? What are you up to again?” Erbao asked.

“Do you remember Nanting No.1 Hotel?” Dabao asked Erbao.

“Of course. It’s a hotel. The food there is delicious!” Erbao had a deep impression of it.

“Grandma is asking Daddy to go there. Don’t you think it is strange?”

Erbao tilted her head to the side and thought for a while. “Maybe Grandma likes the food there?”

“Could you not think about food all the time? Let’s be serious,” Dabao said.

“Why is it then?” Erbao could not wrap her head around it.

“Think about this. Grandma and Daddy are a family. Why wouldn’t she meet him at the house but in a hotel? Don’t you think it’s weird?” Dabao analyzed.

“That’s right. What is Grandma up to?” Erbao asked.

“I have no idea, but I’m sure it is something bad.”

“Oh no. Does she want Daddy to marry Ouyang Qing?” Erbao asked suddenly.

Dabao was stunned momentarily. “That’s unlikely. Marriage is a big deal. She should at least discuss it.

She can’t decide by herself.”

Erbao suddenly came to a realization. “That’s why she asked to meet him. To discuss the marriage!

That’s it! Then we should not let Daddy go there. He is having a steamboat with us later.”

Dabao agreed with her. We should not let Daddy go there!

“I feel there will be someone else besides Grandma. I’m sure Ouyang Qing will be there too,” Dabao predicted.

“What makes you think so?”

“I don’t know how to explain it. Anyway, this whole thing is really strange. I can’t stop thinking about it.”

Dabao’s expression darkened.

“I don’t care what it is about. Just prevent Daddy from going. Turn off his phone so she won’t be able to call again,” Erbao suggested.

“No way. If Daddy doesn’t go, she will call again. If we turn off the mobile phone, she will call the landline. By then, Daddy will find out too. Plus, I don’t want to hide it from him.”

“So, are you going to let Daddy go? I don’t want that to happen!” Erbao flashed a displeased look as she pouted.

“I won’t let him go either. We need to come out with another idea.”

“What else could we possibly do to stop him?”

“We have to find out why Grandma wants Daddy to go there. But we can’t let Grandma know that we are hiding it from Daddy.”

“That sounds impossible. Is there anything we can do?”

“Yes, there is!” Dabao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“What is it?” Erbao became excited too.

She knew if Dabao said he had a way, he did.

“We can find someone who looks exactly like Daddy and let him pretend to be Daddy,” Dabao said.

“Uncle Xing?” Erbao shouted.

“Keep your voice down. Don’t let Mommy and Daddy hear you!” Dabao immediately covered Erbao’s mouth.

“Uncle Xing can pretend to be Daddy. They look alike. But will Uncle Xing be willing to do it?” Erbao could not help but worry.

“I don’t think he’ll be willing to. Let me call him now and try to persuade him.” Dabao grabbed his phone.

“Will you be able to persuade him?” Erbao was still concerned.

“We should at least give it a shot. Stop talking now. I’m calling him.”

Erbao immediately shut her mouth. She always supported whatever decision her brother made.

The call went through right away. “Hello, who is this?” It was Nan Xing’s voice.

“Uncle Xing, it’s me. Ning Sirui.”

“Ning Sirui?” Nan Xing could not wrap his head around it.

“Uncle Xing, you don’t remember my name. I am Dabao.”

“Oh, I see. Just say that you are Dabao next time. Plus, your surname is not supposed to be Ning now.

When will you change it to Nan like us?” Nan Xing asked.

“About that… I have no idea. It doesn’t matter what my surname is. The most important thing is that we are a family, right?” Dabao said.

“Well said. That’s right. Most importantly, we are now a family. What’s the matter, my nephew?”

“Uncle Xing, what are you doing right now?” Dabao questioned.

“It’s my off day today. I’m playing games, and I’ll have a drink later. Why do you call?”

“It’s like this. Daddy and Mommy are together today. We’re spending time together as a family, and we’re very happy.”

“That’s great. I’m happy for you guys. So did you call to tell me this good news?”

“But now Grandma wants to meet Daddy. And she asks to meet in a hotel. I think Grandma is up to something, so I think maybe you can go on Daddy’s behalf and find out what it is,” Dabao stated his request.

“Hold on. Let me sort this out. So my mother wants to meet my brother, and you want me to take his place? No way. I am not going. I have nothing to talk to her,” Nan Xing rejected without hesitation.

“Uncle Xing, aren’t we a family?” Dabao asked.

“Yes, of course.”

“Since we are a family, we should help each other out. It is not easy for Daddy and Mommy to finally have the chance to have a meal together with us. Do you want to separate us?”

Dabao placed the responsibility on Nan Xing without any hesitation.
