Chapter 344 - A Missing Man
Chapter 344 A Missing Man
After the private plane landed, Yaya went directly back to Yu Sihan’s villa. She was familiar with every piece of furniture, every lamp, or even plate here.
This was the place where she spent most of her childhood besides her home. After she was 10 years old, she stayed here longer than at home.
“It is special this year.” Bodyguard A handed her a beautiful box. “Open it.”
Yaya took it and opened it. There was a key on a lovely key chain in the box. It was shining… so, there should be all diamonds.
“This is a special gift designed for you from Young Master. There is only one in the world.” Bodyguard A took the opportunity to speak for his Young Master. “The car is parked in the backyard! Would you like to try it?”
Yaya had gotten her driver’s license last year. She needed a car. She smiled, turned around, and went to the garden.
A small but luxurious white sports car was parked there. Bodyguard A helped her open the door.
“Everything in this car is designed by Young Master himself, and there are many functions that other cars don’t have!”
“It’s still bulletproof!” Bodyguard B suddenly appeared. “It’s safer than the president’s car.”
Yaya sat in the car and closed the door. “I’ll drive home myself. You don’t have to follow me.”
After finishing saying this, she stepped on the accelerator before the bodyguards could react.
“Miss!” Bodyguard B was shocked. Bodyguard A hurried to drive a car. “Hurry up. Catch her.”
When the doorbell rang, Shen Jingshuo was the first to rush to the door.
“Sister!” he opened the door and called out.
Yaya came in and touched his head. “I haven’t seen you in a year. You are taller.”
“So don’t touch my head!” Shen Jingshuo pulled her hand down. “I was taller than you three years ago.”
“But you are still my younger brother, and you can’t be my elder brother!” Yaya pushed him away and rushed to A Miao.
“Mom! I missed you so much.”
A Miao hugged her and looked at her carefully. “You are still so thin. Didn’t you have meals regularly?”
“Dad!” Yaya turned to embrace Shen Xinglan beside her.
Shen Xinglan patted her. “How did you get the car at the door?”
“Dad, do you have radar in your eyes?” Shen Jingshuo just saw the new car parked outside.
Shen Xinglan didn’t pay attention to him. Seeing that Yaya and A Miao hugged each other again, he swallowed what he wanted to say.
The family enjoyed a warm dinner, and then Shen Jingshuo went back to school. He had not finished his final exam, and he would have a holiday the next week.
“Yaya?” A Miao knocked at the door.
Yaya opened the door. “Mom!”
“Have you unpacked yourself?” A Miao saw that the suitcase was empty.
The suitcase was brought by the bodyguard later. The bodyguards assigned by Yu Sihan had been very responsible for taking care of her life abroad in recent years. Even Shen Xinglan agreed silently after his initial opposition…
“I’m an adult, how can I always ask my mother to work for me!” Yaya held A Miao’s arm and acted like a spoiled child. “I will stay at home every day. You can’t think I’m annoying you!”
A Miao looked at her. “Do you really want to come back? In fact, it’s good to stay abroad.”
“I came back to be with you!” Yaya smiled.
A Miao didn’t want her to be outside alone, but she was afraid that her daughter would be sad to come back.
“Mom…” Yaya leaned on her shoulder, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
A Miao felt sad in her heart. “How can I not worry about you, since…”
Since Yu Sihan disappeared when she was 12, Yaya had become mature in mind. She used to be wayward, domineering, and even unreasonable. But Yu Sihan was gone, and she changed.
“Yaya…” A Miao hugged her, “Mom and Dad don’t want you to be so sensible. You can continue to do whatever you want. We can also protect you and make you be without worry.”
Why did his daughter depend on an outsider? Because of this, Shen Xinglan was more and more disgusted with Yu Sihan. His daughter didn’t depend on him but depended on that guy. He was unhappy about this.
“Mom, I’m fine.” Yaya looked up and smiled sweetly.
A Miao poked her forehead. “Don’t lie to me. What are you going to do?”
Yu Sihan had been missing for eight years. He never appeared or made a call. Only a bunch of bodyguards followed Yaya every day and constantly sent gifts to her.
“I’ll wait for him to come back!” Yaya took a pendant out of her clothes. “I promised to marry him, so I will keep my promise!”
Seeing that she was so relaxed, A Miao was angry.
Eight years ago, Yaya was only 12 years old. Suddenly one day, Yu Sihan put this on her neck and told her that he would go far away. He would come back a long time later. This was a marriage token. When he came back, he would marry Yaya.
“You were too young to understand anything. You don’t have to keep your promise.” She advised her daughter. “You should have your own life.”
At that time, Yaya only heard that Yu Sihan was about to leave. She cried loudly. Although she didn’t understand what marriage was, she agreed while crying. Since then, she hadn’t taken off the pendant.
“I’m fine!” Yaya blinked. “Who is better than me at 20?”
Yes, Yaya had no worries about food and clothing. Everything was the best and was not from home but from her missing fiancé.
“Don’t trust Yu Sihan so much, Yaya! He…”
“A Miao.” Shen Xinglan opened the door and came in.
A Miao concealed her sad look and lowered her head. “He ran away without saying a word. It’s not worth waiting for him for so many years. Besides, he’s an old man.”
“Mom…” Yaya helplessly shook A Miao’s hand. “Even if you are right, we have to wait for him to come back and make it clear, right? Otherwise, if I married someone else and he came back suddenly, it’s unfair to everyone, isn’t it?”
Shen Xinglan touched Yaya’s head. His daughter was just 20 years old, but sensible and affectionate.
“Let’s go. Yaya has been flying all day. Let her have an early rest.” Shen Xinglan held A Miao. “She’s not leaving again. You can talk with her every day.”
A Miao held back her tears and kissed Yaya goodnight. Then she cried when she returned to her room.
“Tell me… what he wants to do? For eight years, our Yaya has grown from a little girl to an adult, but he disappeared.”
Yu Sihan didn’t agree that Yaya and Yu Sihan would stay together, but they were destined to entangle for a lifetime. But, now…
“Do you think that he ran to the island to find that damn treasure? Then when he comes back, he will take Yaya away and trade the treasure for our daughter…”
Shen Xinglan took a towel to wipe her tears. “Don’t be so pessimistic. I sent someone to see the island, but he is not there.”
When it came to that island, there was an episode. A Miao’s father didn’t forgive himself in the end, so he returned to the island with her mother’s ashes.
“I will make atonement for myself and for the islanders.” Because he had made them all miserable all these years, he wanted to lead others back to life now.
All these years, Shen Xinglan had been sending people to look for Yu Sihan. As a result, the guy was hiding on the island where they first met. But the whole island was blocked. Lil Xi thought of hundreds of ways, but he couldn’t get in.
Shen Xinglan didn’t tell A Miao the news. Only these several men knew it.
“I suspect that something may have happened to him, or that he could not get out, or he has to stay there,” Le Yi had said at that time. Later, they had no idea, so they had to pretend not to know it.
Shen Xinglan even had an expectation. If Yu Sihan didn’t come out all his life, his daughter would be safe. Even though she liked Yu Sihan now, but after a long time, when she grew up a little bit, she would meet a man who loved her…
Certainly, the premise was that Yu Sihan would never come out.
“Yaya just came back. Maybe she didn’t think so much. You always mention this, which makes her think more.” Shen Xinglan put the pillow down for her. “We’ll just ignore it. Yaya wants our support, so don’t put too much pressure on her, all right?”
A Miao lay down with a sigh. “I’m just worried about her.” “If Yu Sihan were here, I’d be more secure. He’s gone, and I have to be afraid that he’ll appear one day and take Yaya away.”
“I won’t let him take Yaya away. Sleep now!” Shen Xinglan pulled open the quilt to lie under and kissed A Miao’s forehead.
Early in the morning on the second day, Le Yi and his family came.
“Yaya!” as soon as Chu Bai came in, he shouted, “your dear brother has come. Come down quickly!”
Yaya ran down the stairs smiling all the way and rushed into Chu Bai’s arms.
Chu Bai hugged her and turned around. “Wow! You’re so light. I’ll take you to eat delicious food every day!”
“Can you go?” Ling Lang glanced at him. “Aren’t you going to take part in the talent show and have closed-door training?”
“Baibai is finally going to be a star?” Yaya hugged Ling Lang. “Auntie Lang, do you agree?”
Le Yi beside her touched her head and smiled. “Your Aunt Lang said that she didn’t care and lets him go to the entertainment circle to survive by himself.”
Chu Bai did an advertisement when he was 10 years old. He had been inspired to be a star since then. This year, he graduated from film school.
He said, “I am a handsome young boy receiving professional training, handsome and talented. I will be popular certainly.”
Yaya chuckled and asked Shen Xinglan, “Isn’t there an entertainment company in our group? You can just go in.”
If Chu Bai exposed his identity, he could directly act as the hero and his road to stardom would be smooth.
“Auntie Lang said that she’d leave him alone and not control him.” A Miao patted Chu Bai on the shoulder and said, “I’m sorry that Chu Bai has to start from the lowest level.”
Chu Bai held A Miao and acted like a spoiled child. “Auntie Miao, you can help me secretly, but don’t let my mother and father know!”
“You wish!” Ling Lang pulled him aside. “Leave him alone. He will know that it is hard to survive in that circle when he fails badly.”
Ling Lang never thought that her son would be a star. She could accept that Chu Bai would not be a policeman or a lawyer. She could even accept him being a doctor or a killer, but he couldn’t be a star.
“Do you really want to go?” After dinner, Yaya and Chu Bai chatted on the terrace.
Chu Bai flicked her forehead. “Of course. I am a rising star!”
“It’s a pity that your skills will not be put into practice.”
