Wen Hui called back angrily. When the other party picked up, before the other party could speak, she started scolding like a thunderbolt," Damn you, how dare you hang up on me? Do you really think I don't know that Xiafei Road has long since disappeared in Shanghai…" Wen Hui's voice was so loud that Meng Lin was shocked. Even Azurepeak, who was sitting opposite her, heard it and shook his head helplessly.
"I'm talking to you, why aren't you moving? Tell me where you are if you have the guts. Do you believe that I'll go over and strike you to death right now?”Wen Hui was getting angrier and angrier. Meng Lin was holding the phone while her brother was sitting opposite her. Her brain was spinning rapidly."Should I speak or not? If she spoke, Wen Hui would be at ease, but she would expose herself in front of her brother. If she did not speak, she would not expose herself for the time being. How about this, I won't talk for now. I'll call Wenhui when I get back at night. Since the phone can be connected, I can call her.”Thinking of this, Meng Lin gritted his teeth and hung up the phone. He was afraid that Wen Hui would call again, so he turned off his phone.
"I told you just now, she's just a crazy woman. Do you believe me now? Sigh, my young miss, can we eat now?”Azurepeak looked at his sister innocently and did not dare to touch his knife and fork.
"Oh, go ahead, big brother.”Meng Lin smiled awkwardly, but he could not let go of Wen Hui's voice.
"Oh right, this is a wireless phone, right? The Republic of China doesn't have such a thing yet, but England has one.”
"Brother, you know how to use this thing?”Meng Lin was shocked.
" Hehe, you're underestimating me, aren't you? The last time your thing rang, I was the one who answered it for you…" Before Azurepeak could finish his sentence, Meng Lin almost spat out the juice he was drinking. He could not sit still anymore. "What did you say? Did it ring before?"
"Yes, you fell asleep on the sofa that day. It kept ringing in the room, so I answered it for you.”Azurepeak had a serious look on his face, as if he did not know what was going on.
"Then…who called last time?”
"It's also that crazy woman from just now." Azurepeak took a sip of red wine.
Oh my god, it turned out that her brother already knew her secret, but he didn't take this phone call seriously. Fortunately, she had the experience of studying abroad. Anything that seemed strange to them was mistaken for something brought back from England. Thinking of this, Meng Lin's mood was very complicated. He did not know if he was lucky enough to avoid his brother's doubts or if he was unlucky enough to miss two calls from his best friend, causing Wen Hui to be so worried. When she was in her hometown, she didn't pick up her mother's call once. When she came to Shanghai, she forgot to reply to the people there because she was busy. She was really ashamed. When could she change her mental illness?
Azurepeak saw that his sister was deep in thought and had a guilty look on her face. He thought that he had said too much just now and felt a little regretful. He comforted his sister and said,"Alright, alright. I don't blame you. It's all that lunatic who messed up our mood. Let's forget about her.”
"No, brother, I want to go back and rest early.”
"Oh, are you not feeling well?"
"Yes, I am. I'm tired after a busy day."
Azurepeak then realized that his younger sister might not be used to the new job yet. Moreover, something had happened at the factory today and she had to go to Master Wu's place. It was really tough. Therefore, he promised his sister that he would quickly finish eating and go back to sleep.
When they got home, Meng Lin urged Azurepeak to take a bath. Only when his brother took a bath could he talk to Wen Hui in peace. Besides, unless there was an emergency outside, the person who took a bath would not come out easily. The sound of water inside was very loud, and he could not hear the movement outside. Azurepeak saw that his sister was so sensible, so he did not decline. He took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
Meng Lin locked his room door and took out his phone. He turned it on as quickly as he could. After the phone was turned on, he dialed Wen Hui's number.
It was really strange. The phone could not be dialed, but there was a "toot" on the phone.”What went wrong? Meng Lin still didn't give up. He dialed again, but it was still the same.”He hung up and dialed again. He had to dial the number tonight no matter what, but after dialing more than ten times, it was still "”The line was cut off, and she collapsed onto the bed like a deflated balloon.
Her brother had received two calls, and she had also received one call. Why couldn't she make a call at this time? Why was this? She didn't expect that the phone she had brought over from transmigration could still be used, but now it wasn't working. What was going on? The phone had been tormented for a day and a night, and its battery was slowly depleting. At this time, it automatically shut down again.
Seeing that it had automatically shut down, Meng Lin could not be bothered with it. She lay on the bed and flipped over, thinking about the entire process. Her brother said that he had received a phone call on the day he slept on the sofa, and then a second time when he was eating at the restaurant. When Wen Hui called, he answered it a third time. These three calls were normal, but why couldn't he call her tonight? What was the problem? The three times he answered the phone…Wait, answer the phone? Those three times, the phone was used normally because someone called me. Tonight, the phone didn't work because I called someone. Could it be that this phone can only receive calls in the Republic of China, but it can't make calls?
Thinking of this, Meng Lin felt that it was possible. First of all, Wen Hui did not know that she had transmigrated, so she called as usual. She was in the 21st century, so the operator would definitely follow the normal procedures to help her connect. However, she was in the Republic of China, so there was no mobile phone operator at all. Therefore, no one would pick up the call. Thinking about it, this was the only explanation.
Her brother came out in his pajamas after showering. He knocked on Meng Lin's door and told her to wash up and go to bed early. Meng Lin's thoughts were interrupted by the knock on the door and he responded casually. It seemed that the only way now was to wait for Wen Hui's call. She had to bring this phone with her at all times. She could not let her brother answer the phone again, or something would happen sooner or later.
That night, the phone was silent, but Meng Lin could not sleep. The phone was no longer a secret, and she did not know how long it would take for her identity to be a secret. At that time, what would her brother think? What would the whole family think? Where could she go? As she thought about it, she remembered her home again. Could she still transmigrate back? Should she take the initiative to tell her brother about her origins? What should she do? She thought about the huge pressure on her shoulders. A tear rolled down her face and she fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of her eyes. A man stood in front of Meng Lin's bed. He stretched out his rough hand and caressed Meng Lin's sleeping face. The corners of his mouth were filled with a blissful smile as he softly called out," Daughter, daughter."”Meng Lin was woken up by a few friendly calls. He opened his sleepy eyes and suddenly saw a man sitting by the bed. He was shocked, but he felt that this man had no ill intentions. When he took a closer look, the man's face gradually became clearer. It was her father. When did her father come to Shanghai? Why didn't he inform her in advance? Meng Lin was about to ask how the people in her hometown were doing when she heard her father say,"Father is going on a long trip and won't be back for a long time. You and your brother have to take good care of your mother and grandparents.”Meng Lin was stunned." Father, where are you going? Why can't you come back for a long time?" he asked.”，His father smiled and did not answer. Then, he said,"Father knows that you're not the real Xia Menglin, but Father feels that there's some sort of fate between us father and daughter. You must be wary of others." Meng Lin was shocked. When did father know his true identity? Why didn't he expose him? Also, why did he say that he had to be wary of others?”Who do you want me to guard against? Just as he was about to ask his father, he suddenly saw his father stand up and turn around to leave." Father…wait…" Meng Lin reached out to grab his father, but he couldn't. His father opened the door and suddenly disappeared…
" Father…Father…Wait a minute. Explain yourself…" Meng Lin struggled to get up from the bed and chased after his father. However, his father had already disappeared without a trace.
"Father…Father…Don't go.”Meng Lin shouted in his sleep. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down his face and dripped onto the pillow." Ah…Help!"”With a scream, Meng Lin suddenly sat up. Only then did he realize that he had been dreaming.
It was such a realistic dream. The words his father had told him, the sudden disappearance of his back, and his panic were all so real. Why did he dream of all these? He looked at the window. It was still dark outside. It might be the second half of the night, but he was not sleepy at all. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Menglin, are you alright?"
"It's big brother." Meng Lin quickly got out of bed and opened the door. Her brother stood at the door and looked at her in surprise." What's wrong? There's so much sweat on your face."”As she spoke, she used her hand to wipe Meng Lin's forehead. Meng Lin was still in a state of shock and had yet to regain her senses. Her brother's gentle embrace immediately made her limbs weak. She lost her balance and fell into her brother's arms.
Azurepeak was shocked by his sister's sudden behavior, but he quickly regained his composure. He comforted his sister and helped her to the bed. Meng Lin sat on the bed and took a sip of the warm water his brother handed him. He then realized that he wanted to tell his brother about his dream.
After Azurepeak heard this, he pondered for a while and said,"This is just a dream, and it doesn't prove anything. If you're really worried, we'll go back to our hometown to take a look after we've investigated this matter.”
"Okay, okay, then it's settled. I've just started to adapt to work recently, so I really can't leave now.”
"Hurry up and sleep. It's useless to think too much." Azurepeak comforted Meng Lin to sleep before leaving the room.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. The factory was bustling with activity. The workers were working hard. Meng Lin mingled with the workers in the factory, discussing and learning from each other. She checked reports and looked at the machines…The busyness made her forget the shock from last night. Ever since she came to the Xia residence, her days in the residence were not very pleasant. Every day, she was shrouded in a heavy haze. Although she was the daughter of a rich family, she was not very angry at home. She was not like the unruly and willful young ladies in novels. However, thinking about it, she was not the real Xia Menglin. What if she spoke too much and exposed herself? The environment in Shanghai was very suitable for him. There was a busy business here, and there was a familiar environment everywhere. There was no need to mention how intimate it was.
