Why did he stop?

''Yes Father.''

He answered curtly. There was no need pretending, he knew that his father had already seen the news, if not, he would not have called so repeatedly.

He could hear his father's rapid breathing on the other end of the line. It seemed as though there was a lot he wanted to say but he did not know how to say it all out.

''I want you to come to the ancestral home tomorrow. Do not keep me waiting.''

Liu Wei was not given the chance to respond before the call was disconnected. He looked at the screen of the phone for some time then turned around to walk into the room.

''Baby? ''

Liling who had come out of the bathroom could not find Liu Wei, she immediately called out. She was tying a towel which was long enough to reach just above her knees. Her hair was damp and her face was tinted a shade of red as a result of the hot bath. She did not find Liu Wei in the room, so she decided to go look for him downstairs.
