When the Phone Rings

Part 53

Bai Siyan.The eldest grandson of the late Senator Bai Changhao.The only son of the next presidential candidate and Shim Kyu-jin, a professor at Korea University.The man she has been watching, secretly liking, and even marrying for the past 20 years... is actually notIs it Bai Siyan?"And... that threater is the real Bai Siyan."Xizhu had goosebumps all over her body.Even though everything was a mess, at the same time all the pieces of the puzzle were coming together.The whole world was lying to her.When she heard the news that her sister was back, the only thing Hee Joo expected was a clean divorce.That's all."But confession...?"Everything she knew and believed was turned upside down.The real Bai Siyan, who was thought to be dead, appears.Her world was turned upside down.

Because of this shock, it took her more than five hours to get home even in the same Seoul.My mind is still confused. Nothing is clear."This is not like the story of the prince and the beggar..."Among the stories heard on the day of the sacrifice, someone said that the late Congressman Baek Chang-ho was particularly fond of Baek SiHe spoke so loudly that he never appeared in public until he entered junior high school.Therefore, none of the relatives witnessed Bai Siyan's growth.Then, no one may know if the child is replaced midway.But what about his parents-in-law who live with him? Do they know everything but hide it perfectly?

Why?What exactly is it for?Xizhu held her cell phone with her hands clasped together and sat in the darkness."So, what exactly is Bai Siyan..."No, the man who has been pretending to be Bai Siyan——The man I like——What kind of life did he lead?The boy who once hid in the corner and didn't even dare to cry happily.The thin, pale boy who hated eating and always said bad things.The person I like..."It's not easy, I thought I could finally touch him..."I thought we would have a different future...Xizhu rubbed her red and swollen eyes and picked up the phone.When the clock reached 10 p.m., she subconsciously picked up her phone.

"Maybe there is a misunderstanding..."Nothing is certain until you hear his explanation.Beep...beep...Ask him, ask him clearly..."Hey, 406."There was fatigue in the voice, but there was also a hint of kindness.There were so many things I wanted to ask, but I choked up in an instant.The suffocating love affair, my sister's silence, and your hostage-like demands.It was all too much for me to bear.But the most painful thing is the unexpressed feelings. Xizhu covered her red and swollen eyes with her arms and askedroad."I...heard some incredible things."

His lips trembled slightly."It's surprising enough that the Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson is spreading rumors——""...!""Bai Siyan...not Bai Siyan.""...""Is this...possible?"Xizhu was like a complaining child, sobbing and expressing her feelings.But there was silence on the other end of the phone. Although I am used to silence, it feels scary now."Say something...!"

She raised her voice and shouted sharply."This is a reason for divorce...!""...""Now Hong Hee Joo has a legitimate reason to file for divorce!"She almost growled."If you get divorced."At that time, a low and rough sound sounded like scraping iron."If I get divorced and go to 406, will you accept me?""What?""I'm asking, if I came to you, would you accept it?""What does this mean..."

She frowned in disbelief."...Do you really want to meet 406?""Isn't that okay?"The corners of her eyes trembled slightly."You... you bastard... where is your wife! Where is Hong Xizhu...!""...""I also know that you are a two-faced person who is different from what you appear to be! But Hong Xizhu...Hong XiPearl..."What else can be said?

Say you like him?Say you want to believe him?Do you think we will have different endings?But a poor woman could not say these words.The truest mood at this moment may also be the most fragile.My pride stood up like a thorn. Hee Joo is the pathetic person who knows best about begging and pleading."No, I won't see you."She opened her eyes wide and said as if she was making up her mind."Even if you give up everything, come to me after divorce.""...""I don't want it either, I hate you, Bai Siyan, I hate you.""..."

"From the beginning, from the first time I saw you, I hated you. If it weren't for that, I wouldn'tI keep making harassing phone calls out of boredom. "Suddenly, my heart seemed to be torn apart, and tears burst into my eyes. I don't know this surgeWhat is the burning sensation in the upper throat.It might be anger, it might be resentment, but no matter what, I just want to cry loudly. However,I still couldn't stop talking."It's just... I shouldn't have made the call in the first place. Even if I live a dry life, I shouldn't have to go through this kind of thing."thing. I shouldn't talk to you so much. We should not remain ignorant..."The harassing phone calls became the link that allowed me to learn many of my husband's secrets.

This phone call really changed our relationship.But now, all that's left is pain.Xizhu changed positions and walked into the man's bedroom. Her eyes stopped on the bedside table chairhanging on his coat.——Do you regret the things you and I did?"..."Xizhu wiped away her tears silently and picked up her coat. Just a few hours ago, this jacket was wearing hisbreath.She buried her face in her coat."Who the hell are you...?"——......"If you are not Bai Siyan... then what exactly are you?"Her voice seemed to be dug out of the abyss, but the man still had no excuse or explanation.Xizhu just hugged his coat tightly and closed her eyes. Then, she spit out something with difficultyA terrible question.

"Were you...were you present when Bai Siyan died?"——Have you checked this far?"...!"Hee Joo froze when she heard the other party's answer admitting the truth.——When did you start to have contact with that person?"That person?"

——Bai Siyan, the person who helped you change your voice."...!"Xizhu kept denying it in her heart, unwilling to believe that she was controlled by the devil's whisper. her neckHe was stiff, his fingers lost feeling, and his head drooped.It turns out to be true...It's really true...——Did that person threaten you?"......no."——Bai Siyan is a dangerous person, casually getting involved with him..."I said no!"Hee Joo shouted as if arguing. She hated that he said the name "Bai Siyan" as if he was saying goodbye.Same as people.Bai Siyan is you, why do you always say that...! Living chaos filled her eyeseye.

"I will do it no matter what..."Xizhu shouted until her eyes and neck turned red."Even if it's just once, even if it's a mess, I still want to live my own way! I don'tI did these things because I was threatened, and I just wanted to be freed from the constraints. "From her parents' family, from her husband's family, from Bai Siyan, and from that guy who was so stupid that he couldn't even speak.own there.Every time I pick up this phone, I feel like I am getting better."But you...you..."

it's you...It was you who shook my resolve.There was a long silence between the two, as heavy as something had ended.Today has been a very tiring and hard day. as she stroked her dry face.——If I confess everything to you, Si Ling Liu, will it make any difference?His suppressed emotional voice came out sharply.——What can I say to a woman who wants to be free?"..."——My words may become another kind of constraint.His voice was shaking violently.——Or, if I win your sympathy, will you keep your distance from that Bai Siyan?"What are you talking about..."

——When Bai Siyan died, yes, I was there. Bai Siyan drowned and died, but I just watchedWith. In the clear river water, watching him drown,"...Stop talking."——I saw it all from beginning to end,"Stop talking...! I told you to stop talking!"Xizhu sat on her knees on the ground, her forehead resting on her knees. The rapid breathing of the two people was heard through the phone line.The ground is intertwined.She felt sick. Now she seemed to understand the nightmare he had been having since he was a child.True appearance.

What this man has been dreaming about is actually his face seen from Bai Siyan's perspective, as ifLike a nightmare."vomit......"Xizhu held back tears and hugged her arms tightly. She asked with despair:"What on earth are you thinking and why do you do that..."There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone.This reaction made her feel a little uncomfortable."Why..."His voice was low, as if it had been trampled, without any fluctuation.This was the driest and coldest voice of all the words she had ever heard.
