Chapter 643 A Phone Call Between the Siblings
Miaomiao asked Shao Tianze to call Gu Yi right after she began to have dinner.
After all, Shao Tianze was Miaomiao’s father, so he had to keep his word.
Shao Tianze called Gu Yi who was in Harbor City while watching Miaomiao having dinner.
Gu Yi didn’t want to answer the call as it was from Shao Tianze. But thinking of Miaomiao, Gu Yi decided to pick up the phone.
No sooner had Gu Yi answered the phone than he heard Miaomiao’s expectant voice, “Did he pick up?”
Gu Yi’s heart missed a beat.
Sure enough, the call was from Miaomiao.
Shao Tianze greeted Gu Yi, “Yi.”
Hearing his younger sister’s voice, Gu Yi knew that he had to answer the phone.
Gu Yi gently pressed his lips, answering Shao Tianze, “I’m listening, dad.”
Shao Tianze’s voice softened, “Why didn’t you tell Miaomiao before you went to Harbor City?”
“I didn’t want her to be sad.”
Gu Yi did not hide that.
The reason why he didn’t tell Miaomiao he would go to Harbor City was that he didn’t want Miaomiao to be sad.
Nevertheless, it made Shao Tianze make the call.
Moreover, Gu Yi could speak with Miaomiao on the phone once in a while in the future.
Gu Yi thought a lot. However, Shao Tianze, who was speaking with him at the other end, didn’t have the patience to guess what was on his mind.
He just said, “Miaomiao wants to speak to you. Comfort her. Don’t let her feel worried anymore.”
“OK.” Gu Yi agreed.
Then Shao Tianze added, “Don’t say anything that may make your younger sister sad.”
The words seemed to be normal.
But actually, it meant a lot.
Shao Tianze dropped a warning to Gu Yi. He let him not tell Miaomiao too many things which should be hidden from her.
Or Gu Yi might be in trouble.
Gu Yi could understand what Shao Tianze meant.
After all, his father threatened him for the sake of his own benefit. Thus he would do exactly as he said.
“I see, dad.”
Hearing that, Shao Tianze handed the phone to Miaomiao.
Miaomiao’s face lit up when she saw her father giving the phone to her. Then she greeted Gu Yi right after taking over the phone, “Brother.”
“Miaomiao.”
Despite his young age, Gu Yi was steady and mature.
Shao Tianze did not worry that his son could not understand his words.
Besides, Miaomiao didn’t know the secret between her father and her elder brother. Thus she just naively asked about the things that she wanted to know.
She blamed Gu Yi, “Brother, why didn’t you tell me that you would leave Yuncheng?”
“Because I knew you would cry, silly girl.”
“You are silly.” Her elder brother’s words made Miaomiao weep again.
Shao Tianze, who was listening next to Miaomiao, wiped the tears for her, asking gently, “Did he say anything that upsets you?”
Miaomiao pressed her lips, replying undauntedly, “He said I was silly.”
Hearing Miaomiao’s words, Shao Tianze smiled and blamed Gu Yi, “Oh, poor thing. How could he say that to his younger sister? Come on, give me the phone. I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Shao Tianze reached out, preparing to take over the phone in Miaomiao’s hand.
But Miaomiao didn’t want to give it to Shao Tianze as if it had been a treasure to her, “I want to speak to my elder brother.”
Shao Tianze teased her, “He called you silly. You are not angry about that?”
Miaomiao pressed her lips. She was angry when hearing her elder brother said that she was silly.
But she still wanted to talk to him.
Miaomiao was hesitating.
But she was still clutching the phone firmly.
Seeing that, Shao Tianze smiled, saying, “OK. Go on with your little talk. I’ll leave you alone.”
Only then did Miaomiao drop her guard and continue speaking to Gu Yi, “Brother, when will you return?”
“I’ll stay here for some time and return when I’m available.”
“How about tomorrow?” After finishing her words, Miaomiao seemed to feel that tomorrow wasn’t early enough, so she corrected herself, “No, no. Tonight. Come back tonight.”
Hearing his younger sister’s words, Gu Yi felt agonized. But he could just coax his younger sister, “Miaomiao, I’m not here for sightseeing.”
“Brother…”
Hearing Gu Yi’s words, Miaomiao knew that he refused to return in a short time.
So she sounded about to break into tears, “But I really want to see you.”
“Come on, when I’m available…”
“Available! Available! You didn’t tell me when you left and now put me off with such words. When on earth will you be available?”
Miaomiao’s voice was full of anger.
It was the first time Gu Yi had seen his soft-spoken younger sister became this angry and spoke to him in such an angry tone.
So he was a bit stunned for a moment.
Actually, Gu Yi was not the only one that was shocked by Miaomiao’s reaction.
Even Shao Tianze, who was listening to Miaomiao and Gu Yi’s conversation, pressed his lips when hearing Miaomiao’s angry words.
Miaomiao valued her elder brother very much in her heart.
Moreover, Miaomiao wanted very much to be with Yi.
But Shao Tianze would never let Yi and Miaomiao live together.
Gu Yi knew a lot, but Miaomiao was still little. As Miaomiao put her trust in Gu Yi, she wouldn’t doubt anything Gu Yi told her.
If Gu Yi told Miaomiao everything he knew, Miaomiao would definitely believe it and completely change her att.i.tude towards her father.
Shao Tianze knitted his brows.
He remained silent for a while.
Meanwhile, Gu Yi became worried as he realized that his younger sister was close to him to this extent.
The more Miaomiao trusted Gu Yi, the more Shao Tianze was sensitive about their living together.
Shao Tianze was afraid that Miaomiao would act upon whatever Gu Yi said to her, which would make it more difficult to separate them.
Gu Yi shouldn’t have said this much to Miaomiao.
He should hang up the phone now.
The idea of hanging up the phone suddenly took root in Gu Yi’s mind.
However, no matter how important and wise the idea was.
Gu Yi had no way and was not willing to hang up the phone now.
So Miaomiao still pumped Gu Yi for more information, “Brother, when will you return to see me? If you have to stay in Harbor City, let me go there to see you, OK? Brother…”
Miaomiao said a lot all alone.
Meanwhile, words failed Gu Yi.
He didn’t know what to say.
He also wanted to see his younger sister because she was related and the closest one to him in the world.
It was too hard for Gu Yi to guess what was on his father’s mind. Even though he was related to Shao Tianze, he could not consider him as his family.
Gu Yi only considered Miaomiao as his family, who was the only person he wanted to protect.
“Miaomiao…”
Gu Yi cut Miaomiao off.
Hearing Gu Yi’s voice, Miaomiao immediately asked Gu Yi, “What do you want to say to me, brother?”
Gu Yi had a lot to say to Miaomiao. He wanted to tell Miaomiao to guard against Gu Changle and her father in the Shao Family.
Gu Yi wanted Miaomiao to eat and live well. He also hoped that she could see through her present situation as soon as possible and protect herself.
Gu Yi wanted to say all these to Miaomiao.
But it was inconvenient for him to tell Miaomiao about these on the phone.
He couldn’t say it now because it would do no good to his younger sister if he did.
Instead, he would put his younger sister in a more dangerous position.
The question Miaomiao asked Gu Yi also drew Shao Tianze’s attention.
Shao Tianze gently got closer to Miaomiao and quietly waited for Gu Yi’s reply.
Shao Tianze thought Gu Yi would say a lot to Miaomiao.
But out of his expectation, Gu Yi urged Miaomiao, “It’s late. Finish your dinner and go to bed.”
“Brother…”
“I’ve just got to Harbor City, and I have a lot of luggage to unpack. I’ll call you again when I finish.”
Miaomiao frowned, not wanting to agree.
But Gu Yi said at the other end of the phone, “Give dad the phone. I have a few words to say to him.”
Miaomiao was angry, feeling that her elder brother didn’t care about or like her as he didn’t want to speak too much with her on the phone.
So she handed over the phone to Shao Tianze in a fit of pique.
Seeing that her daughter was angry, Shao Tianze took over the phone without saying a word.
After Shao Tianze took over the phone, Gu Yi said to him, “Miaomiao is still little. Please take care of her for me, dad.”
“Of course. You also take care, Yi.”
“OK. Thanks for your concern, dad.”
Though Gu Yi knew well what kind of person his father was, he still spoke to him politely before hanging up the phone.
Gu Yi didn’t have anything else to say to Shao Tianze.
So after that, Gu Yi said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go unpack my luggage, dad.”
“Go ahead. Study hard in Harbor City.”
“OK.”
Then Shao Tianze hung up and put the phone down.
Seeing that her father directly put the phone down instead of handing it back to her, Miaomiao suddenly felt down.
Her elder brother did not say anything else to her after he talked to dad.
Tears began to fill her eyes again.
Seeing her daughter’s eyes, Shao Tianze knew what she was thinking about and why she felt aggrieved.
Even though Shao Tianze knew the reason why his daughter felt aggrieved was that Gu Yi didn’t continue speaking to her, he didn’t prepare to comfort Miaomiao.
Gu Yi and Miaomiao were totally different. Shao Tianze separated the two kids in order to let them grow farther and farther apart.
The wider the gulf between them yawned, the more satisfied Shao Tianze was.
Only after Shao Tianze put down the phone did he ask Miaomiao, “Now do you feel less worried about your elder brother?”
Miaomiao pressed her lips, remaining silent.
Shao Tianze stroked her hair, saying, “It’s almost time for you to sleep. Let Sasha take you to take a bath, OK?”
Sasha was a little nurse in the family.
But Miaomiao didn’t like such little nurses who took her to bath, so she frowned, replying, “I can bath myself.”Chapter 643 A Phone Call Between the Siblings
