Rebirth of The Evil Mother-In-Law

322-324

Chapter 322 - The Company Was More Humane Than Imagined (1)

The man rubbed his head and inhaled dramatically. "Let me think. I don't remember anymore. Aye, I've been working so much overtime lately that my memory had been getting worse."

"Can you tell me where my father work then?" asked Chen MingZhu. "I can go look for him there."

She looked straight at him and her very defined eyes moistened. Her voice began to break. That was enough to make anyone's heart ache.

"I, I haven't seen him in over a year. I really miss him a lot. He said he will come to visit me and I had been waiting this entire time."

Fang JunRong saw the wife turned her head with her eyes reddened. That was no normal reaction.

No way. If that was true, it would be too cruel for Chen MingZhu.

Fang JunRong had a speculation and she looked more solemn.

"I haven't been in contact with him lately and have no idea where he is staying. Let me go make a call. Don't cry." The man's voice turned tender and he walked inside the house. As he made the call inside, nobody could hear his conversation.

The man returned 5 minutes later and said to them. "I had just contacted Gensheng's unit. The company has high hopes for him so he was on a business trip. He won't be back for a little while. Why don't you go home first? We don't have a key to his place so we won't be able to take you there."

He sighed and fished out a cigarette. When he noticed Chen MingZhu again, he put his cigarette back inside of his pocket.

Tears rolled down Chen MingZhu's cheeks. She looked sad and her voice soft.

"You don't need to lie to me anymore, Uncle. Is my father gone?"

"Huh?" Li XinYun was stunned. Wait a second. She thought she was there to look for the irresponsible father. How did things take a dive for the worst so quickly?

She knew how close Chen MingZhu was with her father so she would not joke about such a thing.

Looking at the man, he had a pained look on him. "So you figured it out, huh?"

His words had, undoubtedly, confirmed that fact that "Chen GenSheng was dead". With the exception of Fang JunRong, who had been prepared for this, both Li XinYun and Fang Tian were stunned.

More tears rolled down Chen MingZhu's cheeks. "He sent me rabbits for my birthday gift this year."

The man rubbed his foot on the floor. "I picked that one out. I was told that all girls will like it." As a man, he didn't know anything about that so he picked the cutest-looking one.

Chen MingZhu's lips curved a little. "Thank you, Uncle."

"My father had always been buying me pandas because I have never seen pandas before. My dad told me that he will get me panda gifts every year and will take me to see the giant pandas when I make it out of the village." Her voice broke when she got to that point. "He didn't come home for the New Year either. He always returned for the New Year no matter how busy he was in the past."

The man sighed. He thought they did a good job on it but the little details gave it away. They had also underestimated the tie between Chen GenSheng and his daughter.

Chen MingZhu asked, "Did that happen in December of last year? My uncle took off for a while then and he seemed sad after his return. Both him and Aunty treated me even better than before afterward."

"He used to have people write for him, telling me to dress warm enough when it was cold and that I can tell him if there are any books or toys that I have wanted. He will bring them back for me..."
