Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star-Chapter 217: Seeing Her Father
Quick note, whatever mistakes you find here, please feel free to go to the discord server and complain. For some reason the translator responsible for this chapter completely MTLed and didn’t even change a single thing. Now, your dearest translator Puppxteer is very tired and needs to work on essays, meaning Liu Man’s pronounce will change from “her” to “him”. I have tried my best to fix this chapter halfway but I just gave up completely. At this point I literally need to rewrite the entire thing. Sorry for the inconvenience, this will get fixed tomorrow when it is the weekend.
July 1st was the day when Liu Chengyu came home.
Liu Man and Zhang Pei followed Sun Yiyi to the detention center early in the morning.
Zhang Pei saw that Liu Man was a little nervous, and she comforted her, “Your father loves you very much. He has never been harsh towards you since you were a child.”
Liu Man thought: Liu Chengyu loved and spoiled his own daughter, not her.
Sun Yiyi, who was driving, heard Zhang Pei’s words and felt very strange. It sounded as if Liu Man didn’t recognize her own father.
When they arrived outside the detention center, the three waited for about ten minutes before Liu Chengyu came out.
The entire 200-day jail life made Liu Chengyu very thin. His clothes and trousers got too big, his hair turned from black to white, his hair became shorter, and he looked at least ten years older than before.
When Zhang Pei saw her beloved husband, tears burst into her eyes, and she hurried forward. Because he had been detained for such a long time, Liu Chengyu was still in a daze. It was only when he saw his wife walk up to him did he realize it was finally time to crack a smile.
Zhang Pei slapped him on the shoulder several times, “Don’t you dare drink again, don’t you dare!”
She used a lot of strength, but Liu Chengyu silently endured it. He smiled at her, let her vent out her rage, and then gently hugged her, “I’m sorry for making you and Man Man suffer.”
Liu Chengyu’s words made Zhang Pei’s strong and independent surface collapse instantly. She buried her head on Liu Chengyu’s shoulder and burst into tears, “You were inside the center, you didn’t know anything…”
In the half a year, major changes happened. The jewelry he gave her were sold, their house got mortgaged, and his daughter became a cyber star. Zhang Pei went out to work and sold cat food for her daughter. They initially owned one cat, but now they had two…
The biggest difference was that the core in their daughter’s body changed…
Liu Chengyu stroked his wife’s hair to soothe her emotions. He looked up and saw Liu Man, who was standing not far away and was looking at him curiously.
She wore a light blue dress with mid-sleeves. She was elegant with long black hair tied behind her head, and her clean eyebrows were like rain and mist in a distant mountain.
Liu Chengyu only had one glance and knew that she was not his daughter.
Although she had the same appearance as his daughter.
The smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Last night, Liu Chengyu had a dream. He dreamed that his daughter exchanged bodies with a princess of the Han Dynasty and became a queen in ancient times…
Liu Chengyu always thought it was because he was approaching freedom and missed his daughter so much that he had such weird dreams. However, when he saw Liu Man at this moment, he realized that those dreams were real.
Thanks to various police interrogations in the detention center, he exercised his strong psychological endurance. Even if he couldn’t accept this fact at all, he did not appear to be surprised.
Liu Chengyu asked Zhang Pei for confirmation, “She is not Man Man!”
Zhang Pei was worried that Liu Chengyu would be seen as crazy here, and she quickly said, “I’ll go back and tell you in detail.”
“I know she is a princess.”
Zhang Pei was surprised, “Have you dreamed too?”
Her words made Liu Chengyu feel chills down his spine. If both of them had the same dream, then, the dream must be real. Because of his drunk driving, her daughter went so far, far away that they would never see each other again for the rest of their lives.
He clenched his fists and said regretfully, “It’s all my fault.”
Zhang Pei has already accepted reality, “This is our child’s good fortune, and it is God’s arrangement. Man Man lived very well over there, and her husband treated her very well. They had a group of children. Don’t want just want Man Man to live a good life? She had become a queen, and we should be content.”
She pulled Liu Chengyu, who was standing still, and said, “This is your first time meeting each other, so you should take the initiative to talk to the princess. This child is afraid you will not accept her.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengyu glanced at the girl not far away.
The couple walked to Liu Man, and Liu Man smiled restrainedly at Liu Chengyu.
Her smile was so clear that Liu Chengyu let go of his grudge and hostility a little bit, and he said to her, “Hello.”
Sun Yi, on the side, couldn’t wrap his head around it. He couldn’t figure out what was going on with this family? Liu Chengyu was also strange, being so polite to his daughter.
In Liu Man’s memory, at this time, the former owner of this body would’ve definitely run forward and hug her father, and her father would’ve lifted her up. The two of them would’ve laughed happily.
Liu Man knew that she would never be able to do these actions, but she would still respect Liu Chengyu as an elder.
Liu Chengyu only said hello, and then he and Liu Man did not have any communication as if they were total strangers. He didn’t want to talk to someone who occupied his daughter’s body, for he didn’t know whether the owner of this body now was a human or a ghost.
Liu Man felt too awkward, and she also felt that Liu Chengyu did not like her.
That night, Sun Yiyi booked a private room in a restaurant, and the two families gathered to celebrate Liu Chengyu’s regained freedom. Liu Chengyu didn’t seem to have a happy expression on his face. He wanted to use alcohol to dissolve his sorrows and called the waiter to order the wine. Zhang Pei and Sun Yiyi stopped him.
Sun Yiyi joked, “The old saying goes, ‘if you were bitten by a snake, you would live in fear of the sting for ten years’. Why are you thinking about drinking?”
Zhang Pei said sternly, “You should get rid of your drinking habit.”
Liu Chengyu stopped mentioning wine and forced a smile.
Sun Yiyi informed him of the entire process of his case, and he emphasized that it was a lawyer named Li Shuhua who helped them a lot; otherwise his case would’ve been delayed until the end of the year before he could come out. Liu Chengyu said that he would find time to come and thank Lawyer Li.
Liu Man and Sun Weiwei were sitting together.
Because everyone was preparing for the final exam before, Sun Weiwei hda not seen Liu Man for several weeks.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Man got expelled from the school, and in the blink of an eye, she was about to become Sun Weiwei’s classmate.
This was not only magical, but also weird.
Although Sun Weiwei was a law major, she had also heard of Su Yi’s name. She never thought that Liu Man would have a relationship with the prestigious Professor Su Yi and would become his last apprentice.
Sun Weiwei recalled that during the filming of “Shi-Senpai”, Liu Man had two thick books in her hands. One seemed to be Tang poetry, and the other seemed to be Song poetry.
At that time, everyone thought she was pretending to be elegant and smart.
“You had two books about Tang poetry and Song poetry that you held on Saturdays. Were they related to Professor Su’s classes?” Sun Weiwei asked.
Liu Man nodded and told her truthfully, “Professor Su lent me these books. Every Saturday morning I go to him for calligraphy and Chinese studies class.”
“By the way, what major did you transfer to in our school?”
“Chinese Ancient Literature.”
Chinese Ancient Literature was such a non-mainstream and difficult major!
Sun Weiwei widened her eyes and stared at the girl in front of her carefully. She couldn’t be more familiar with this girl’s appearance. She had been seeing this face ever since kindergarten.
But, was she really Liu Man?
