Chapter 1593: You Are My Little Love Song (160)

Los Angeles.

After her mother’s funeral, Shi Niange accompanied her father in the hospital for another day. Heplanned to leave many things at home to her. If she was unwilling, he would not force her.

However, although he did not force her, how could Shi Niange still insist on her dreams?

Her mother was already gone, while her father was dispirited. Yesterday, he had been in front of her mother’s tombstone for a long time. Afterward, when he came back, he did not speak for the entire night. Although in Shi Niange’s heart, he was not a qualified father, the feelings between him and her mother were really deep.

The responsibility of the Shi family was placed in front of her. It was up to her whether she wanted to accept it or not, but did she have a reason not to accept it?

In the morning, she had a chat with several senior executives in the company who were not disloyal to her. They did not trust a young lady who was not even twenty-two years old. They were willing to chat with her because of the shares she had. They came to see her because she was Chairman Shi’s daughter, but clearly, they did not trust her and did not chat much. Even if they were not disloyal, they did not show any other attitude.

In short, even if she wanted to uphold the Shi family, it was not something that could be done easily. After all, too many people wanted to seize this opportunity. It was because she was too young, because she looked too young to be affected by accidents. She looked easy to bully.

Wen Ke said that there was a business partner that they had previously agreed on in Hai City. He used to be her mother’s university classmate and had just returned to Hai City from Washington. For so many years, she had been involved in financial investments. The projects she had invested in had all become popular. Her foresight was not bad. This investor had long taken a fancy to several new projects in Shida Group. She had also discussed it with her mother and said that the project would be finalized before spring.

Wen Ke suggested that she go back to Hai City to settle this investor. If she could take this sum of money back to the United States, not to mention those board members who were disloyal, at least those who were less convinced by her could still be subdued.

Since she had no experience, she had to take it one step at a time. It was impossible for her to swallow the entire Shida Group in one bite. Furthermore, aside from recuperating in the hospital, her father did not need her to make any decisions for the time being. He could still hold on for a period of time, so she needed to grow quickly in this period of time.

Shi Niange had personally contacted the investor in Hai City. When they were on the phone, they chatted for a while before she learned that she was someone called Auntie Bai whom she had met twice when she was young. She was very good to people and was very generous. When she was young, her family had bought her many beautiful dolls. Shi Niange had some impression of her. It turned out that she was going to invest in a project with Shida Group this time. If they were acquaintances, she should be able to hold on to this winning ticket.

Auntie Bai comforted her over the phone, but it was clear that she had yet to walk out of her best friend’s death. Her voice was still hoarse. She then arranged to meet Shi Niange in Hai City tomorrow night.Shi Niange booked a flight back to Hai City.

After arriving at Luoshan Airport, she stood in the airport hall and turned back to look at Xiao Da, who had been running around the United States enthusiastically for the past few days. “Is my phone still with you? Is it with you or with Xiao Luye?”

Xiao Da exclaimed and looked at Shi Niange. “Isn’t it quite convenient for you to use Xiao Luye’s phone now?”

“I’m borrowing it temporarily in America for the next few days.” Shi Niange looked at him and then turned to look at the flight information displayed on the screen. “There’s still one and a half hours before takeoff. If you’re in a rush, who has my phone? Please get someone to send it over for me. I still have to use it after returning to Hai City.”

Xiao Da scratched his head. He really didn’t want to give it to her.

In the past few days, the Xiao family happened to be in Los Angeles. There were too few relatives in the Shi family, so they had been supporting them as if they were half relatives. In the past two days, Xiao Luye had something to do and flew to England, so he handed Shi Niange to him. Shi Niange originally wanted to take a taxi to the airport today, but Xiao Da was worried and specially drove her to the airport.

He thought she had forgotten about her phone and wanted her to take Xiao Luye’s spare phone.

“I can use this account card in America. I won’t use it when I return to Hai City.” Shi Niange seemed to sense that Xiao Da didn’t want her to take her phone back. She looked at him. “Is my phone with you?”

The corner of Xiao Da’s mouth twitched. He saw that her expression was a little serious. Recently, too many things had happened in their family. The usually cheerful and happy little Nian Nian wouldn’t smile every day. Right now, the way she spoke with a straight face really made one feel cold.

Xiao Da couldn’t take it anymore and could only take her phone out. He handed it to her and said, “It’s on me, but it’s been so many days. It’s run out of battery and hasn’t been charged. It’s switched off.”

Shi Niange took it. “Is the account card inside?”

“Yes, I used to help you with your cell phone’s international call business, but I forgot to give it to you.” Xiao Da scratched his head as he spoke, not daring to meet her eyes.Shi Niange didn’t want to investigate further. After so many days, so many things, and all sorts of important matters were pressing on her heart, she didn’t have the mood to argue with Xiao Da. She only tried and found that her phone was indeed out of battery and couldn’t be turned on. She put her phone in her bag and planned to charge it after the plane landed in Hai City. She also returned Xiao Luye’s phone to Xiao Da.

In fact, for so many days, there were days when she could not sleep alone. When she wanted to call Qin Siting, even if her phone was not with her, she had already memorized his number.

But what could she say after calling him?

Crying at him through the phone?

There were so many things pressing down on her that she couldn’t breathe. There was really no need for her to call him so late at night to tell him to accompany her through the twelve hours of time difference.

Even if he was willing, even if she really wanted his comfort.

However, she hadn’t been in Hai City for the past few days. He should have already returned from Japan. The clinic had been extremely busy. There was no need for her to add on to these burdens.

If she really wanted to talk about it, she would have to wait until she returned to Hai City.

She had not contacted him for so many days. It had been at least seven or eight days.

Who knew how angry Qin Siting would be.

“Hey, that, Nian Nian…” Xiao Da saw that she was leaving for the airport and quickly followed her. She didn’t have much luggage. After all, she didn’t take anything when she travelled to Los Angeles. Now that she was going back, it was only a small bag. She didn’t need his help. He just followed behind her. “I have to tell you something.”

“What is it?” Shi Niange asked as she walked calmly toward the duty hall.“When I went to get your account card, I turned on your phone. Then, for some reason, I ordered a format…”
