112 Her father 3.

As a result of her disorientation, she failed to notice her mom's movement or even understand what the click she heard represented.

Mo Ning robotic all turns her head around in other to perfectly see her mother's features when she answers the question she, Mo Ning wanted to ask.

" You're kidding right? "

" Nope I mean every word. " Mo Xiaye replied raising an eyebrow tinged with teasing. She wanted to laugh so bad but tried equally as hard to keep it in because as far as she knew, it wasn't everyday she got to witness her daughter acting stupid as opposed to the graceful and confident young lady she usually was.

" Okay... That means I might have gotten the name wrong. " She replied mumbling a greater part of the sentence to herself.

" Erm.. Sorry mum but do you mind repeating the name you mentioned? I think my ears are beginning to play jokes on me. It's probably been too long since I last got them cleaned. "

Mo Ning said sounding convinced like she was a hundred percent sure of herself.

" I said your father is Zhou Ting. " Mo Xiaye said letting out a bit of the laughter threatening to come out in the form of a chuckle.

" Oh.. I could have sworn I heard Zhou Ting. Wait.... What did you say his name is? " No longer able to control her laughter, Mo Xiaye lets out a boat of laughter watching her daughter's eyes that didn't seem like they were going to go back to their normal sizes any time now but kept expanding like two balloons which are continuously being inflated.

Calming down a bit to a state where she could form and ask proper questions, Mo Ning opened her mouth to say something but it seemed like it was stuck in her throat which then resulted in her opening and closing her mouth simultaneously like a fish making Mo Xiaye burst into another round of laughter.

" Which Zhou Ting is he? You said he lived in the dormitory back then, that means he isn't that rich now so it's not the Zhou Ting I'm thinking about. " She said a crease of a frown between her brows as if reprimanding herself for thinking too much.

" What are the odds of it been the most influential man in the country now right? " She said adding an awkward laugh at the end waiting for her mum to confirm what she was already so sure of but instead of indulging her, Mo Xiaye went ahead to burst her bubble all over again.

" Your father is ZHOU TING the chairman and CEO of Zhou Corporation the most influential man in the country as of last year. Are you convinced now? " Mo Xiaye asked deadpan.

In response, Mo Ning just went along by nodding her head a few times and then shaking it again another few times as if she was in a state of confusion not knowing what to respond.

Not able to comprehend her daughter's foolish expressions any longer, Mo Xiaye went to the bathroom to get a bowl of water before sprinkling some on her daughter to wake her up completely.
