Chapter 319
Edited
In the next second, the cell phone in Sheng Man’s bag rang and her agent Sister Huo helped her pick up the call. She glanced at the phone suspiciously.
“Who is this? Is it your relative?”
Sheng Man heard Sister Huo’s voice and she slowly opened her eyes. She took the phone that Sister Huo handed over, but when her sight fell on the screen, her fingers trembled and she started to panic.
“I’m going to answer the call, so you can go out for now.”
Sheng Man repeatedly urged and waited for Sister Huo to get outside of the dressing room before refocusing her gaze on the screen.
There was only one simple word displayed on the phone screen—Sheng.
Sheng Man pretended to be calm, but she was silently mumbling in her heart.
She already knew.
After she had gotten a little older, she guessed the truth of the facts and knew about it to a certain extent. That was the reason as to why she still played the part of ‘Sheng family’s daughter’ obediently on the premise of knowing the truth.
Sheng Man squeezed the armrests of the sofa uncontrollably, and her delicately trimmed nails were embedded on the sofa.
“And? What do you want to say?”
Sheng Lian didn’t know about Sheng Man’s train of thought,”I asked Liu Cang, a trafficker at the time, to investigate Sheng Luo’s current situation; he reported that she had died in a landslide.”
“She was gone many years ago.”
Sheng Man murmured, “She’s dead?”
Sheng Man found it unbelievable that the person who she has been worrying about her whole life died so easily, making her heart feel a little uneasy at the simplicity of the matter.
Sheng Lian saw Sheng Man’s strange and bewildered reaction, but he thought that Sheng Man was shocked and needed time to digest the truth.
“So, keep getting on Nie Jiqing’s good side and restrain your temper. Aren’t you her favourite?”
Sheng Lian’s words continued, but they seemed to be intermittent and indistinguishable.
There was a sort of panic in Sheng Man’s heart— the eagerness to please Nie Jiqing. She had done an abundance of these kinds of things recently, but at some point, she felt that Nie Jiqing was getting further and further away from her.
