"If you need money, why don't you earn it yourself?" Chen Xingyan questioned .
"Don't talk to your father like that," An Zihao nudged Chen Xingyan's elbow reminding her not to say something wrong and hurt herself in the process .
"Am I not right? My father went missing when I was 6-years-old . He got into an accident and couldn't find his way home . Can't you just let me continue believing that?" Chen Xingyan asked the man in front of her with teary eyes .
In reality, it was obviously not an accident for a person to go missing without a single clue . Chen Xingyan had understood this long ago .
"Xingyan, I understand that you are a big star now and you have money . So, please save your brother . If it wasn't because I had no choice, I would not be showing myself in front of you . " The man looked old with a pair of reading gla.s.ses . His hand clasped tightly to the the quiet little boy beside him, with no intention of letting go for even a second .
Chen Xingyan did not reply . After a short moment, An Zihao said to Father Chen, "I think you should go home for now . "
Father Chen understood that it was hard for Chen Xingyan to comprehend everything that was happening in front of her, so he sighed before leaving with the little boy .
"What right does he have . . . ?"
"If you didn't have hope in your father, you wouldn't be so upset . Stay here, I'll go check if he has a place to stay . "
Chen Xingyan opened her mouth to tell An Zihao not to bother, but the words would not leave her lips . In the end, she simply said, "I am going to go to work . "
After escorting the father and son to a hotel, An Zihao helped them pay for a room . Father Chen looked at An Zihao and almost dropped down on his knees after entering the room, "Please convince Chen Xingyan to help me . "
"To be honest, you have not upheld your responsibilty as a father, so you can't turn the situation around and expect Chen Xingyan to do anything for you . "
Father Chen understood this well, so he stood up and sighed, "Isn't she pus.h.i.+ng us to our death then?"
"How much do you need?"
Father Chen was stunned for a moment before he finally replied, "$1 million . This is my son's medical records . "
"I can give you the money under one condition: never appear in front of Xingyan and her mother again . "
"As long as I can save my son, I will definitely keep my distance from them," Father Chen agreed .
"As long as I can save my son, I will definitely keep my distance from them," Father Chen agreed .
After confirming the medical records, An Zihao threw the doc.u.ments aside . He really wanted to tell the man that if he could resolve the matter with money, he preferred not to open his heart to him . For a man that was willing to abandon his wife and daughter, he had no heart to begin with .
However, he had no idea that his generous gesture this time would lead to a huge crisis .
The next afternoon, Tangning and Mo Ting boarded a flight to the Maldives, while the two babies were left temporarily in Xia Yuling and Bai Lihua's care .
The two mother's had a great relations.h.i.+p with each other and were almost like sisters . Bai Lihua even slept over at the Tang Family Home every now and then . As a result, the two families were like one big family .
This time, Chen Xingyan decided not to tell Bai Lihua know about Father Chen because she didn't know how to bring it up . At the same time, she was afraid that her mother would be hurt a second time, so she simply mentioned it briefly to Tangning .
Tangning did not take it to heart, so she had no idea that Chen Xingyan was about to go through an extremely painful experience .
Two afternoons later, Chen Xingyan was in the middle of filming a programme when a huge car accident occurred in Beijing . A middle-aged man had been driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, resulting in a 7-car pile up . Two people died on the scene, three were seriously injured and four suffered light injuries .
The news sources quickly investigated the background of the perpetrator and discovered that his name was Chen Tianhao . According to the police, this man was the father of the popular artist, Chen Xingyan .
On that day, An Zihao was discussing an endors.e.m.e.nt contract for Chen Xingyan, so Little Seven accompanied her instead . The police contacted Little Seven and Little Seven waited until Chen Xingyan finished her programme before she rushed over to tell her, "Something happened . We need to visit the police station . "

The police contacted Little Seven and Little Seven waited until Chen Xingyan finished her programme before she rushed over to tell her, "Something happened . We need to visit the police station . "
"What happened?" Chen Xingyan was afraid that something had happened to An Zihao .
But, when Little Seven showed her the news, she was a little shocked but pretended not to care, "He hit someone . What does that have to do with me?"
"The police have requested for you to visit the police station because Uncle Chen recently received a sum of money from an anonymous bank account . The police want to confirm it . "
"What money?" Chen Xingyan was confused because she had no idea that An Zihao had given Father Chen money .
After arriving at the police station, Chen Xingyan was immediately stopped in her track by the family members of the car accident victims, "Give my parents back their lives . . . "
"Give my brother back his life . . . "
Although Chen Xingyan understood how they were feeling, what did this matter have to do with her?
"I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with me . "
"How does it have nothing to do with you? You are the murderer's daughter!"
"I haven't had a father since I was 6-years-old . Over the years, I have been a fatherless child . How do you expect me to take responsibility?" Chen Xingyan asked .
"No yelling in the police station! Chen Xingyan come in for your interrogation!" A police officer noticed the commotion outside and immediately stepped out to scold them before taking Chen Xingyan into the interrogation room .

"I'm sure you've heard about what happened to your father, right?" the officer asked . "I've looked into the matter and am aware that your father contacted you a few days ago . "
"I do not have a father," Chen Xingyan replied straightforwardly . After a short pause, she began to explain, "He suddenly appeared the other day asking for money to save his son . But, I ignored him . "
"In that case, how do you explain this sum of money that he received from Mr . An Zihao's account?" the officer asked .
Chen Xingyan received the transaction record from the officer's hand and confirmed that the money was indeed from An Zihao .
This idiot, why did he try to clean up after her without her knowing?
"Did you know? Because of this sum of money, Chen Tianhao went to buy a sports car . He then indulged in alcohol, gambling and drugs and got into fights; there was nothing he wouldn't do . Because of this sum of money, he had the finances to commit a crime . He bought drugs and drove under the influence of alcohol, ruining the lives of 6 families . "
After hearing this, Chen Xingyan's eyes grew wide in shock as she immediately explained, "That's right, I asked my manager to transfer this money to him because I didn't want him to ha.s.sle me anymore . But, I simply transferred him money, did I commit a crime? In the end, I transferred him money because I thought he was using it to save someone, I had no idea that he had another purpose for it . "
The officer glanced at Chen Xingyan and shook his head, "I'm afraid your conscience won't be at peace for the rest of your life . "
At that moment, tears began rolling out of Chen Xingyan's eyes . However, she quickly wiped them away and gave Bai Lihua a phone call .
In the end, she simply said to the officer, "I'll leave everything in the hands of the authorities . "
