Chapter 915 Familiar Stranger

When Zhao Lang called his daughter, his voice was trembling with excitement. It wasn't that he had any feelings for this fake daughter, but his daughter had grown up, and she was growing up quietly in a place where he couldn't see, so his mood was somewhat complicated...

"Hello? Why did you think of calling me?" said a girl with a hoarse voice.

Zhao Lang called out tentatively after hearing this, "Mai Mai?"

Unexpectedly, the other party sneered and said, "Don't scream so disgustingly, okay? We are not familiar with each other... Hey? Could it be that your little wife is next to you?"

Zhao Lang felt mixed emotions when he heard the other person speaking to him in his daughter's voice. Fortunately, he was calm and knew what was most important at this moment. So he smiled and said, "You're asking me even though you know it? By the way, come back tomorrow. I have something to talk to you about..."

"What can you do to me? Didn't we agree before not to interfere with each other?" said the fake Mai Mai unhappily.

Zhao Lang suppressed his anxiety and said calmly, "You are almost an adult, and I have almost finished my duty as your father. I want to give you some money so that we can be even after everything is over. Don't come to me again. What do you think?"

Fake Mai Mai immediately became interested when he heard it and said, "Really...how much?!"

"How much more can you give me? 50 at most. I can't give you more! If you take the money, we will have nothing to do with each other. Don't come to me. I won't need you to support me in my old age." Zhao Lang said 50 because if he said less, the fake Mai Mai would definitely not be fooled. If he said more, it would not be realistic. 50 is just right. With Zhao Lang's current wealth, taking out 50 should not be a big deal. He still has money to support his second marriage family of three.

"Only 50? I have to travel a long way back? It's not troublesome enough. Can't you just transfer the money directly?" Fake Mai Mai said reluctantly.

Zhao Lang snorted after hearing this, "Isn't that nonsense? You have to come back and give me a receipt in person, or something like that? Otherwise, what if you run out of money and come to me again? Zhao Lang is just a lawyer, not a money printing machine. I naturally don't have that much money to give to your cheap daughter."

As expected, the fake Mai Mai smiled and said, "This Zhao Lang? It's been so many years and you're still talking about this and that. Are you Zhao Langcheng? Okay, I'll book a ticket right now... I'll be at your house tomorrow night."

When Zhao Lang hung up the phone with the fake Mai Mai, his hands were shaking. Although he looked calm when he spoke, only he knew how panicked he was. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and the other party would hear something wrong... But even if he dealt with this fake Mai Mai, there was still a very tricky problem lying in front of Zhao Lang, that is, what about his wife and son at home?

"What are you going to do next?" Song Jiang asked in a deep voice. Although his question seemed very general, everyone present knew what he meant.

Zhao Lang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know that woman, so I can't be her husband and wife... But I don't want to make any mistakes before I take back Mai Mai's body."

Zhao Lang's meaning couldn't be clearer. Tonight he would definitely go back to that house and play the role of husband and father. As for the future... that would be a matter for the future. When the group sent Zhao Lang downstairs to his house, Gu Hao asked with some concern, "Is everything okay tonight?"

Zhao Lang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, I know how to deal with it... You guys should also find a hotel to rest first, and we will have breakfast together tomorrow morning."

After watching Zhao Lang walk quickly into the unit door, Song Jiang said worriedly, "In fact, the mother and son are also innocent... In their eyes, Zhao Lang just went out for a while, and when he came back, he became a complete stranger."

Gu Hao sighed after hearing this, "Who said it wasn't true? But if you want to talk about innocence, wasn't Bai Sha innocent back then? Compared to her, at least they are still alive in this world."

Deng Kai immediately asked, "What do you mean? Could it be that Bai Sha's death is also related to that fake Zhao Lang?"

Gu Hao shook his head and said, "I am just speculating now... But think about it carefully. If a person you spend every day with suddenly has his soul replaced, it is impossible for a wife to not notice it at all. Instead of pretending in front of her, it is better to get rid of him and be done with it! But we need to ask the evil ghost just now to know whether it is true or not."

"Just one evil ghost can cause a series of chain reactions. I wonder how many people's lives have been ruined by the more than 400 evil ghosts..." Song Jiang said with a sigh.

Deng Kai thought of the cute little boy at this moment, and said helplessly, "It's understandable that Zhao Lang and that woman are unfamiliar and have no feelings for each other... but what about the child? After all, he is Zhao Lang's newborn child."

  Upon hearing this, Song Jiang also felt that the child's situation was indeed pitiful. The man he thought was his biological father was just a fake Zhao Lang with an empty appearance, and his biological father had no idea that he had such a son for all these years, so naturally he had no feelings for him at all... In this case, the real father didn't want him, and even if the fake father wanted him, he couldn't do it now. How should a child who is only a few years old face this?

==============

Zhao Lang was smart. After he returned, he used the excuse of studying the case to work overtime in the study all night. In the end, he even slept in the study because he really didn't want to share a bed with such a strange woman, and even more so didn't want to see his biological son who was born without his knowledge.

But women and children are naturally sensitive animals. They felt something was wrong as soon as Zhao Lang entered the room, but they couldn't put their finger on it for a while. In particular, the way he looked at them and the children was extremely strange, as if he was a passerby on the street, with no smile on his face...

The next morning, Song Jiang and his party arrived at Zhao Lang's house early. This time, the woman was obviously much more enthusiastic than yesterday. She helped them serve tea and pour water, which made Song Jiang feel uncomfortable. Even the little boy, who was only a few years old, followed them and ran around, looking like a little adult... Then Zhao Lang sent the woman and children away on the pretext of discussing a case, leaving only a few of them sitting together and discussing in a low voice.

As the woman walked away with the child, she kept looking back, looking anxious and uneasy, which made Song Jiang feel uncomfortable... He really couldn't imagine what the future life of the mother and child would be like, so he turned to Meng Zhe and said, "Shall we go out and talk to her?"
