Chapter 605: Contacting Ya Ya

Fang Rui explained: "After taking this brain‑cell‑restoring medicine, Aunt Zhou became drowsy. We consulted Director Zhang."

Director Zhang said the medicine has a sedative function; it makes patients sleep frequently, which aids brain‑cell recovery.

After completing one course, they switch medicines; the next step is to invigorate, giving the patient consciousness."

Since the experts said so, we can only trust the experts.

Yang Tao and I stayed in the ward for a while longer,

Zhou Wei remained in a deep sleep,

We had no purpose here either.

So we left the ward.

I walked outside the hospital,

I took out my phone intending to call Ya Ya,

Yang Tao immediately stopped me,

"It's only a few o'clock. It's deep night in the United Kingdom now. Wait until evening to call."

I had to put the phone down.

After speaking, Yang Tao took out his phone and walked away to contact Wang Ge.

I think Wang Ge and Director Qi only have a casual relationship.

Director Qi fell ill by his own doing, after all he over‑took medication,

and it was a prohibited drug; knowing his body couldn't handle it, he still took it.

It's no wonder something went wrong.

After a while, Yang Tao returned after finishing the call,

his complexion looked terrible,

I hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"When Wang Ge heard that Lao Qi was ill, he immediately wanted to come to Zaocheng.

I didn't expect Wang Ge to care so much about Lao Qi," Yang Tao said helplessly.

"Wang Ge is coming to Zaocheng.

I didn't expect that either. What does he come for, just to visit Director Qi?" I said.

"I don't know that either. Jianqiang, Wang Ge will definitely ask how Lao Qi got sick.

Our tone must be consistent, and we must inform Dean Yang.

So that Wang Ge won't become suspicious," Yang Tao said, a bit nervous.

I said to Yang Tao, "Yang Tao, you really don't need to be nervous. Why are you nervous? It's just that Director Qi over‑took his medication, which has little to do with you. Now that Wang Ge is coming, you should tell the truth. Dean Yang doesn't need any extra explanation; the facts are right there."

The more we try to hide, the more people will become suspicious.

Don't be afraid. Yang Tao, the more naturally you face it, the less trouble there will be."

After I finished speaking, Yang Tao nodded confidently.

Yang Tao and I returned to the hotel together.

I need to go back and report the situation here to Wen Han,

namely that Director Qi had an incident and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit, requiring a week before anyone can see him.

Also, Wang Ge is coming to Zaocheng.

After he arrives, will he ask about the four‑hundred‑million debt issue?

We need to hear what Wen Han says.

After Wen Han heard my report,

He hadn't expected Wang Ge to come to Zaocheng either.

He thinks Wang Ge is only coming to visit Director Qi, and has no other business.

Moreover, the four‑hundred‑million matter is between you and Director Qi,

and it's not easy for him to intervene,

so there's no need to be nervous; just face it normally.

Since Wen Han said that,

I have nothing more to add; in short, I think Wang Ge's arrival is unusual.

How would a person like that come to a small place like Zaocheng?

Time quickly turned to evening,

I decided to contact Ya Ya.

Little Ya Ya has been out for so long and hasn't been in touch with us.

People, once they leave familiar places and familiar people,

even familial ties become distant.

My contact with Ya Ya is also rare; she has grown up always with Yang Tao.

I, as her father, wonder if she still remembers.

Actually, my main purpose is to tell Ya Ya about her biological father.

Then have Liu Xian call Ya Ya to fulfill Liu Xian's wish.

The call connected quickly,

A girl's crisp voice came from the phone,

but I didn't understand a word; it was all English.

I hurriedly said, "Ya Ya, I'm your father Zhao Jianqiang. Child, stop speaking English; say something in Chinese I can understand, okay."

Ya Ya's laughter came over the phone,

"Dad, hello, Imissyou. Howareyou. I'msorry. Everything's fine at home."

"By the way, has Mom arrived home? Have you met?"

In short, Chinese is mixed with English.

I said to Ya Ya: "Ya Ya, how are you doing in the UK? Don't speak English to me, I can't understand. Everything's fine at home, Mom has already arrived home. We've already met. How's your dance learning going?"

"Sorry, sorry. Sorry, Dad, I've been living outside for a long time, so I speak only English."

"I've almost forgotten Chinese. I heard something happened at home, someone stole our money, is that true? My dance is fine; lately I've been doing street dance, I joined an artistic group, preparing for a tour." Ya Ya said.

"Ya Ya, these things are all in the past. Home is peaceful now. What's up with the street dance tour? Is there a cost?" I asked.

"No, uh, how to say it, it's giving assistance to stars, no cost, you can watch the stars' concerts." Ya Ya explained.

"So when are you planning to come back home? Dad misses you, Aunt Ya Ling, Uncle Yong, and they all miss you."

"Dad, after the tour, I also have to participate in school activity arrangements. Around Christmas or Easter, that works too." Ya Ya muttered foreign holidays.

I can no longer get on the same wavelength with Ya Ya,

In short, there is a generation gap between us; this generation gap is not just about age, but also about lifestyle.

She went abroad with Yang Tao from a young age and has mainly received Western education.

So her spiritual values are based on Western culture.

Our traditional way of life, she can no longer accept it.

Just letting a child go abroad is tantamount to losing him forever, in a spiritual sense.

This child will never again accept our traditions.

What I say isn't necessarily absolute, but most children are like this.

I decided to stop being long-winded with Ya Ya,

I directly said: "Ya Ya, originally there was something I wanted to wait until you came back to tell you, but I don't know when you'll come back."

I decided to tell you this today.

Do you know your biological father and mother?

Ya Ya's exclamation came over the phone,

"My God. Isn't my dad you? I know, my new mom is called Xia Yuan. Yang Tao has already told me."

Is there any story behind this?

"Who is my biological father, what does he do? Itwassofun, sodramatic. Isitaedy." Ya Ya again spoke in English on the phone.

Damn, what the hell, this little girl is playing around.

"Speak Chinese, Ya Ya, can you say something I can understand? Your biological father is called Liu Xian, no, that's not his real name, I'm used to calling him Liu Xian; he used to be the head of Lanling County. Then something happened,"

He went to prison,

During this time you were only three years old.

He has come out now, working as a security guard in Lanling County.

"He misses you, wants to acknowledge you, wants to have a phone call with you, can he?" I explained to Ya Ya.

"Talking on the phone with him would be too strange. We're not familiar. Besides, I didn't even know he existed these years."

Liu Xian.

Dad, I don't want to talk on the phone with him.

I can't accept him in my heart.

He wasn't there for my upbringing.

"What gives him the right to come looking for me now?" Ya Ya refused.

Hearing Ya Ya's refusal, I felt uneasy. If Ya Ya were by my side, I would explain the whole story to her clearly.

But we are now separated by oceans, and even our language is not very mutual.

How to explain this?

But I will try to persuade Ya Ya to have a phone call with Liu Xian.

But this is Liu Xian's wish.
