C34 Call from a Stranger

"Eh, what are you talking about? How could I lie to you?" Cheng Bao'er said carefully.

"Hmph, and you still say you didn't lie to me, then what's with your big miss Cheng Family? Who told me I was the same as me? "But now, if it wasn't for those reporters, how long would you be hiding this from me?" Hao Jie'er snorted coldly. Her tone was full of complaint.

"So that's what it is. Listen to me, Jie. I've always been hiding this from my parents, so I can't reveal my identity. We just met at that time, so I didn't tell you about it just in case." But believe me, I never thought of lying to you. It's true. I swear it. " Cheng Bao'er quickly explained.

Actually, when Hao Jie'er said that she had lied to her, Cheng Bao'er was completely muddled. Because of the memories from before, her brain had nothing, so she couldn't remember what Cheng Bao'er and Hao Jie'er said before.

After hearing what Hao Jie'er had said, Cheng Bao'er finally reacted. The memories in her mind also gradually recovered.

She recalled that she had gotten to know Hao Jie'er on the same crew. Both of them had just started working in the crew, and because they shared the same ideals and goals, they had gotten to know each other that way.

At the beginning, Hao Jie'er told Cheng Bao'er about her family circumstances, saying that she was raised by her grandmother. Her mother died a long time ago, leaving only her father to smoke, drink, and gamble. Every time she drank too much, she would hit her.

When she was young, if it weren't for her grandmother's care, Hao Jie'er wouldn't even know if she would have been able to grow up.

The year she turned eighteen, her grandmother left, leaving only herself and that drunkard father of hers. At that time, it was common for people to beat her up, so she escaped from home very early, hoping to become a big star that everyone admired and liked.

After hearing about Hao Jie'er's background, Cheng Bao'er was afraid that if she said she was from a poor family, she would hurt Hao Jie'er and that she was the child of a poor family.

That was the reason for today's misunderstanding.

When Hao Jie'er heard Cheng Bao'er's explanation, although she was still a little angry in her heart, she actually understood her difficult situation at that time. Therefore, she generously expressed on the other end of the phone, "Alright, then I'll forgive you this time, but if I find out in the future that you're hiding something from me, then, I'll let you know!"

Sensing that Hao Jie'er's mood had obviously improved, Cheng Bao'er smiled and nodded. "Alright, I promise you that there won't be a next time."

Receiving Cheng Bao'er's guarantee, Hao Jie'er was satisfied to let her go. In the end, she asked about her recent situation with concern before reluctantly hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Bao'er heaved a sigh of relief. How could she feel guilty?

Just when she let out a sigh of relief, the phone suddenly rang again. Cheng Bao'er looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen and frowned, hesitating whether she should pick it up or not.

Cheng Bao'er hesitated, but the person who called her was persistent and called her again and again.

Finally, Cheng Bao'er took a deep breath, picked up her cell phone and connected the call.

"Miss Cheng, you're really busy. I've already called you countless times, but you're the only one who answered."

Hearing the strange man's voice on the other side of the phone, Cheng Bao'er pursed her lips and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
