Chapter 236

Zhou Zhou Liping looked at the three bottles of wine in her hand, full of joy, and then sighed: "Sigh, you girl, you really are becoming more and more sensible."

She looked at Huai Te again and said: "By the way, how is your father now?"

"He's doing fine."

When Huai Te said this, a flash of dejection crossed her face.

Zhou Zhou Liping's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly comforted her: "Ye Ye Yiren, don't worry, your dad will definitely be fine."

Huai Te nodded and didn't say much, thinking to herself that she also hoped her father would be fine, otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to be with Ash!

She chatted with Zhou Zhou Liping for a while longer, then got up and left. 0

Just as she walked out of the restaurant, her phone rang; it was a call from Liu Li.

"Hello, Little Sister Li, what's wrong?"

Huai Te's tone was gentle; although she had known Liu Li for less than two months, she was very fond of this kind and obedient girl.

"Sister Ye Ye Yiren, did you go to the hospital?"

Liu Li's voice carried a trace of anxiety and worry, "Why did you go to the hospital? Are you sick? I heard from Grandpa that your illness is very serious and requires hospitalization. Did you forget the promise you and Grandpa made earlier?"

Huai Te was stunned and said: "How did you know I was sick?"

"I guessed it! Isn't your health not good? Brother Ash sent you to the hospital last night; don't you remember?"

"Yesterday?" Huai Te was stunned. She had been unconscious at the time and didn't know Ash had sent her to the hospital.

She recalled it carefully and finally remembered; she had indeed come to the hospital yesterday, but the person who sent her was actually Ash!

This bastard actually dared to lie to her?

"I... I remember now, it was my boyfriend who sent me here!"

Thinking of Ash's performance yesterday, Huai Te's pretty face turned bright red, and countless chaotic thoughts flooded her mind—shame, anger, sweetness... she felt all kinds of emotions.

"Hmph! You bad guy, you clearly got me drunk and then took advantage of me, you big bastard! I hate you to death!"

Huai Te cursed hatefully, then burst into a laugh, mocking herself: "I'm so stupid, how would he ever admit it!"

……

Ash didn't know that his actions yesterday had caused Huai Te so many misunderstandings. At this moment, he had already arrived at Cloud Mist Mountain in the western part of Jiangnan Province.

Cloud Mist Mountain, as the name suggests, had towering and magnificent peaks, lush trees, and beautiful scenery, which was why it was famous in China.

On the top of Cloud Mist Mountain stood a luxurious villa.

Inside the villa.

Ash and Liu Liu Menglu were sitting on the sofa together, tasting tea.

Liu Liu Menglu was wearing a black bathrobe, the neckline open low, revealing her fair and plump chest.

Her face was flushed, her gaze dodging, like a ripe apple, looking extremely charming.

"Chen, I... I really didn't expect you to be able to find this place."

Liu Liu Menglu looked at Ash, her eyes watery, filled with surprise and emotion, and also mixed with thick spring feelings.

Ash coughed lightly, touched his nose, and said: "The reason I found this place is mainly because I was a bit curious why you suddenly changed your mind and chose to return to Huacheng with me. After all, according to what you said, your dream was to stay in the capital to develop and become an international movie star."

Liu Liu Menglu's expression turned dejected upon hearing this.

She looked out the window, was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, I am not my mother's biological daughter."

"Oh, so you're an illegitimate child? Then your mother, where is she? Is she still traveling around the world?" Ash asked curiously.

He still remembered that when he met Liu Liu Menglu at the hotel with Guo Deyuan, Liu Liu Menglu's parents were also present, but their reactions were a bit cold, clearly not caring about her.

This was no wonder; they probably already had new wives and concubines, and Liu Liu Menglu's existence would be an eyesore to anyone.

"Mm, my mother passed away." Liu Liu Menglu nodded, her voice choked with sobs, "But my father is still alive, and I have a younger brother."

Ash was stunned; he hadn't expected Liu Liu Menglu's parents to be siblings, but thinking about it, if there was no blood relationship, Liu Liu Menglu was so beautiful that her parents were too biased.

He was a bit confused again and said: "Since your mother is no longer in the world, you and your brother are dependent on each other; what does your father do for a living? Why doesn't he take care of you?"

These words, in the ears of a bystander, would create wrong impressions such as abandoning his wife and daughter, or being greedy for wealth.

But Ash wasn't a bystander; he only felt that Liu Liu Menglu's father was a scumbag who was too cold-hearted toward his own daughter.

Liu Liu Menglu shook her head and said: "He does financial investment and has real estate in the capital. As for not taking care of me, I don't know either. My father and I basically don't contact each other except for holidays, and I don't like staying by his side; it always feels like I'm living under someone else's roof. He gives me money, and I just take it; I'm not short of money."

After saying this, she added: "However, if there is a chance, I am still willing to be filial to them."

"That's good." Ash nodded.

Although some people might feel that foster parents are closer, Ash was different; he felt that biological parents were definitely more loving toward their own flesh and blood.
