The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today-Chapter 764: A Special Kind of Strangeness

That day, dinner at the Song Mansion was rather quiet due to matters concerning Gu Zheng and Ye Mingmei.

After dinner, Yu Yao wasn’t in the mood for chatting either. She said she’d return to her room, look at some Buddhist scriptures, and then probably go to sleep.

Song Yansheng still had some emails to deal with and told Shi Nuan to go to sleep first. Shi Nuan didn’t say much and went back to her bedroom.

Shi Nuan was still worried about Ye Mingmei, so she called A qing. A qing said that Ye Mingmei was truly heartbroken and hardly ate dinner.

Earlier, she was persuaded to go to sleep.

A qing said, "I haven’t known Mingmei for very long, but in my impression, Mingmei, just like her name, is always bright and cheerful. It’s the first time I’ve seen her like this now..."

Shi Nuan asked, "So Gu Zheng... hasn’t gone to find Mingmei?"

"Gu Zheng is out of town on a mission and hasn’t returned. His engagement was something Mingmei only found out about accidentally through a phone call from S City. Mingmei also called Gu Zheng to confirm, and that’s when she got angry and upset and came over to me..."

Shi Nuan didn’t know what to say.

A qing said, "Don’t worry too much. Mingmei has me and R watching over her. There won’t be any problems. We’ve also contacted Gu Zheng, and he’s expected to come back within these couple of days. Before that, we’ll take good care of Mingmei..."

Shi Nuan initially wanted A qing and Qin Ran to bring Mingmei to the Song Mansion. Mingmei loves eating meat, and the chef at Song Mansion is exceptionally skilled; perhaps it could distract her a bit.

But remembering how Ye Mingmei used to drop everything upon hearing that Gu Zheng came to pick her up, including forgoing delicious food, it was clear in her heart that food wasn’t as important as Gu Zheng...

Even if she were brought to Song Mansion, it might not make a difference...

Shi Nuan spoke a few more words with A qing and then hung up the phone.

Whether by coincidence or not, just as she hung up, another call came in.

And it wasn’t anyone else but her father, Shi Yuanbo, whom she hadn’t been in contact with for some time.

Seeing the word "Dad" flashing on the screen, Shi Nuan suddenly felt a certain unfamiliarity.

In fact, it had been unfamiliar for a long time, since the moment her mother passed away ten years ago.

Shi Nuan took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Hello? Nuannuan, it’s Dad..."

Shi Nuan pressed her lips together and softly responded with a "Hmm," asking, "...Is there something you need?"

Shi Yuanbo chuckled on the other end and said, "Not really, just that I heard you had a cold? Dad wanted to ask if you’ve been feeling any better these past couple of days?"

Previously, Shi Yuanbo had proposed to visit Shi Nuan at the Song Mansion, but Song Yansheng outright refused.

Shi Nuan took two days off, so Shi Yuanbo calling to check on her was reasonable.

And this time, he called Shi Nuan’s mobile directly, instead of the Song Mansion’s landline or Song Yansheng’s phone. This made Shi Nuan feel somewhat different.

She said, "I’m much better now, you don’t need to worry!"

Shi Yuanbo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That’s good... I should trust that Song Yansheng can take good care of you!"

Shi Nuan’s gaze flickered slightly, saying, "Dad, do you remember? About half a year ago, one night, past eleven o’clock, I called you once?"

Shi Yuanbo paused; he certainly remembered.

Because back then, Shi Nuan rarely called him, but that night, past eleven, he recalled it was after eleven-thirty.

She called him suddenly!
