âDad!â
Chen Hao cried out respectfully after he answered the video call.
Although this wasnât the first time that he had a video call with his father after he found out his true identity, Chen Hao still acted respectfully toward his father.
After all, his father cut a more imposing figure now compared to before.
âChen Hao, what are you doing now?â
However, his father just looked at him with a fatherly smile.
âI am preparing to rest now. Dad, whatâs going on? Why did you call me at this hour?â
âYes, I do have something I want you to do. Originally, I wanted your sister to investigate it for me as I know that you usually spend most of your time and effort on your homework. However, this matter has been delayed as your sister is attending to some business in North Africa now. Did your sister tell you about it yet?â
âYou want me to help you find a woman?â
Chen Hao recalled the things that his sister said to him in the past, in which she had wanted him to investigate a woman.
âYes, I will fax you her pictures in a moment. Can you try your best to find out her location. Sigh. If not, I will blame myself for the rest of my life.â
âIn addition to that, you must remember not to let your mother know about this under any circumstances!â
His father sighed again.
Chen Hao felt uncomfortable when he heard this, even his face turned dark.
Could his father have betrayed a woman before this?
Damn it! How could he ask both of us siblings to find her in private? The first person that Chen Hao thought of was his mother and instantly felt sorry for her.
âWhat is her relationship to you? You have an ample amount of resources as compared to us. As long as you want to find her, you will definitely be able to do so,â said Chen Hao.
âSigh! My dear boy, if it was convenient for me to do so, why would I need the both of you to do it for me? As for our relationship⦠Your sister had actually asked the same question. In short, I can only tell you that itâs not the relationship that you have in mind. She is connected to a major incident that happened in our family in the past. Many years have passed, and our family owes her a lot. As for the incident, please donât ask about it. I will tell you everything in the future.â
âOk, that's all for now. Please put in your best effort!â
With that, his father hung up the phone.
Not long after that, Chen Hao received a fax message on his phone.
It was a black and white colored picture that was a few decades old, and there was a woman in that picture.
Chen Haoâs hands suddenly trembled violently when he saw the woman in that photo. He nearly dropped his phone onto the floor.
He stared at the picture for quite some time before he sucked in a cold breath of air.
âI-Isnât this Su Ziyue?â
The woman in the picture was beautiful indeed. She looked delicate and attractive. Moreover, she looked almost similar to Su Ziyue.
If it werenât for the black and white colored picture, Chen Hao would definitely think that the woman was Su Ziyue.
How could it be her?
Chen Hao thought to himself that this woman was definitely about the same age as his father.
In other words, she might be Su Ziyueâs mother.
After all, Chen Hao was sure that Su Ziyue grew up in an orphanage, and she did not know the reason for her parentâs abandonment.
Now, barring other surprises, the woman whom his father wanted him to find was definitely Su Ziyueâs mother.
Even now, several thoughts flashed across Chen Haoâs mind.
He remembered how his heart suddenly throbbed the first time he met Su Ziyue.
It seemed that the first time they met, he felt a close bond with Su Ziyue. In addition to that, he felt naturally protective of her. There was no explanation for it.
Come to think about it, could Su Ziyue actually be his sister?
Although his father kept on explaining that he did not have that kind of relationship with this woman, Chen Hao wouldnât believe it over his dead body.
That night, Chen Hao was so bothered by his thoughts that he kept tossing and turning in his bed. He couldnât sleep a wink all night.
The next morning, Chen Hao gave Su Ziyue a call and told her that he must see her today to have a chat.
For the past few months, they would occasionally chat with each other through WeChat when they were free.
Su Ziyue had already gone to work at a new kindergarten, and she was doing well there.
Furthermore, Chen Hao had given a house to Su Ziyue as a gift, thereby providing a place for Da Hu and Er Hu to stay.
âMiss Su, can you help me out with something? I have no time to review the homework of the kids in my class, can you help me out with it? Itâs because my boyfriend is picking me up now, and I want to do some shopping later.â
A female teacher with waist-length hair was looking indifferently at Su Ziyue who was reviewing her studentsâ homework.
âBut Miss Liu, I havenât finished reviewing my studentsâ homework yet,â said Su Ziyue helplessly.
âHmph! If you do not want to help, then just say so. You donât have to find an excuse for it. Donât think that you are so high and mighty just because you were recommended by President Tang to work here as a teacher. Haha, come to think of it, who do you think you are? You only started working here for a month, and you have already been named the most beautiful teacher in Jin Ling Early Childhood Education Campus. How great do you think you are to refuse to help me review my studentsâ
homework?â the teacher named Liu Ke said coldly at the moment.
Liu Ke started working in the best kindergarten in Jin Ling two months earlier than Su Ziyue. When Su Ziyue started working here, she kept bullying her by asking her to review her studentsâ homework all the time.
In addition to that, Liu Keâs boyfriend had power and influence. Not to mention that he was good-
looking as well.
Originally, Liu Ke, who was voted as the âmost beautifulâ female teacher by the school district, thought that she would definitely get the top spot.
Alas, most of the parents voted for the kind-hearted and beautiful Su Ziyue.
Of course, this made Liu Ke anxious.
So, she started inquiring about Su Ziyueâs background, however, she got nothing on her.
That was why they ended up in this situation.
As for the other older teachers, though they were pissed off by Liu Keâs actions, they dared not speak out due to fear.
âFine, I will help you review your studentsâ homework, Miss Liu!â
Su Ziyue gritted her teeth and moved a large pile of homework from Liu Keâs desk to her desk.
âHmph, thatâs better. Donât think you can act all high and mighty just because they voted you as the most beautiful teacher. Let me tell you this, I am far more superior than you in every aspect!â Liu Ke scolded Su Ziyue with a smug look on her face as she prepared to leave.
âZiyue, you should let her review her own studentsâ homework. You donât owe her anything, so why do you need to help her?â
At this moment, a casual voice was heard.
Following that, a guy walked in front of Su Ziyue and moved the huge pile of homework back to Liu Keâs desk.
âWhat the f*ck! Who do you think you are?â
Liu Ke was stunned.
Chen Hao did not even spare her a single glance as he pulled Su Ziyueâs arm and said, âDidnât I ask you to take leave today? Why are you helping her out with her work? Letâs go and have a meal. I have something to discuss with you.â
âYes, my leave application has been approved.â
Su Ziyue nodded her head.
Su Ziyue felt a sense of security when she saw Chen Hao.
That was because she was usually afraid of the arrogant and bossy Liu Ke.
The rest of the female teachers lowered their heads and secretly laughed when they saw that Chen Hao and Su Ziyue did not even bother about Liu Ke.
On the other hand, Liu Keâs face looked flushed.
Several young female teachers who were out shopping earlier were chatting with Liu Keâs boyfriend at the entrance of the kindergarten at the moment.
âOh my, Miss Liu, your boyfriend is here to pick you up again! I am so envious of you!â
Everybody said in admiration when they saw Liu Ke at this moment.
However, following that, they saw Su Ziyue and Chen Hao who were walking out as well.
They gave each other a nudge and said, âOh my, come take a look at this quickly. Could that be Su Ziyueâs boyfriend?â
âOh my God! Really? This guy looks quite shabby!â
âHaha, thatâs why they are perfect for each other!â
ââ¦â¦â
Chen Hao was speechless.
He had only just walked out when waves of ridicules rang in his earsâ¦
