Chapter 13: Father and Son
“I didn’t expect you’re that confident in yourself. Look forward to your design.” He Siming gave Wen Shuyue a meaningful look as he talked to her in a low and charming voice.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Wen Shuyue said nothing and saw him out before she put Wen Baobao to sleep in his bedroom.
She sighed softly when watching Baobao’s sleeping face, because she was aware that Baobao longed for a father deep down though he looked happy every day.
But even Wen Shuyue herself didn’t know who his father was.
Wen Shuyue gave a wry smile, with her fingernails dug in the palms of her hands unconsciously. If Lu Junhan hadn’t set her up, Baobao wouldn’t have been born without a father.
Ultimately, Lu Junhan was to blame for everything!
“Mr. He, here’s the result of the DNA test. Ninety-nine percent of your DNA is matched with that of Wen Baobao, so the doctor confirmed the two of you are father and son.”
Sitting in his fancy Rolls-Royce, He Siming looked emotionless but he blinked his amber eyes hard upon hearing what Guan Yue said.
Five years ago, He Siming was set up and thus slept with a strange woman unconsciously. Out of his expectation, the woman turned out to be Wen Shuyue and Wen Baobao was indeed his son.
“Mr. He, since the boy is your son, so Miss Wen is…” Guan Yue paused but the rest of his words was predictable.
He Siming was lost in thought silently, tapping the car window slowly with his long fingers.
As it turned abnormally depressing in the car, Guan Yue couldn’t feel more embarrassed, holding the steering wheel tightly with cold sweats on his forehead.
“I need all the information about Wen Shuyue and her child, Wen Shuyue in particular.”
He Siming finally broke the silence a while later.
Categorically, he wouldn’t abandon his son Wen Baobao, but that women…
He must figure out if she had some ulterior motives.
It was high time that he investigated what exactly happened five years ago.
Ever since Wen Shuyue joined MK, great changes had taken place and she even had fired Vice President Chen and Amy. But thanks to his powerful connections, Chen was re-hired.
In spite of that, every staff member was scared by Wen Shuyue’s austere methods and rapid implementation. People gossiped behind her back but never dared to say no in front of her.
“The new CEO is a tough one. I’m afraid Mr. Chen would really have been fired without his powerful connections.”
“Hush, someone may hear it and turn us on Miss Wen, then we’ll be in great trouble. She’s such a resolute coquette, I don’t want to lose my job.”
“Take it easy. She doesn’t have magic eyes or ears. How can she hear us? Plus, she must have pulled some strings to get this job. Even Mr. Chen is more capable than her.”
“…”
The moment Wen Shuyue entered the ladies’ room, she heard the conversation, but she had already got used to the gossip.
It was not worthwhile to get angry with those who didn’t matter to her and especially those who had bad manners at work. To get angry with them was to bring trouble to herself eventually.
“Go back to work. Stop procrastinating,” Wen Shuyue reminded them after washing her hands, but her words gave them the chills.
They looked at Wen Shuyue as they trembled with fear that they would be punished. Unexpectedly, Wen Shuyue left the room after finishing her words.
“Miss Wen, some lady is expecting you in the reception room and she said she’s your bosom friend,” the secretary told Wen Shuyue as soon as she came back.
Bosom friend?
Maybe it was Lin Lin?
But it would be odd of Lin Lin to pay an abrupt visit without calling, who rarely did that; and it was not likely that Wen Shuyue’s other bosom friend made the visit, who was supposed to be in another country.
Wen Shuyue reached the reception room before she figured out her wonders. As soon as Wen Shuyue saw the lady, her face changed instantly but she soon remained calm.
“I was wondering which of my bosom friends would it be. It’s you.” Wen Shuyue walked to Qin Weiwei naturally. Sitting next to Qin Weiwei was Lu Yaoyao, Lu Junhan’s younger sister.
Lu Yaoyao and Wen Shuyue had hated each other since Wen Shuyue was in love with her brother. But Lu Yaoao had been close with Qin Weiwei and probably she had known about their plans.
Upon seeing Wen Shuyue, a flicker of surprise appeared on Qin Weiwei’s face but it soon returned normal. She said with a fake smile, “Right, CEO of MK China Office, what a surprise. I thought…”
“What brings you here?”
Before Qin Weiwei finished her words, Wen Shuyue interrupted her, tired of her craps.
“Mind your attitude. Visitors are guests. Can you wait till she finishes her words?” Lu Yaoyao defended Qin Weiwei when seeing her being treated rudely.
Qin Weiwei gave Lu Yaoyao a pull before she took a glimpse at Wen Shuyue and taunted Wen on purpose, “Yaoyao, don’t bother talking back to a person with no courtesy. Plus, talking rudely will make us the same as her.”
“Weiwei, you’re right. I meet people who have no courtesy every year, but I wonder why there are so many this year. Does it make her feel superior with the money she got by being a mistress? Hmm, that’s ridiculous,” Lu Yaoyao seemed unable to stop taunting Wen Shuyue after she started the conversation.
At first, Qin Weiwei tried to stop Lu Yaoyao. When Lu was getting furious after being provoked, Qin Weiwei just sat there and watched, hoping Lu would diss Wen Shuyue roundly.
Wen Shuyue might have talked back if it was in the past, but now this didn’t bother her any more.
She took a sip of coffee and said blandly as if nothing bothered her, “Just tell me, what’s the purpose of your visit?”
“They say you’re a top fashion designer now, so I hope you can design a suit for me. My wedding anniversary is approaching and I hope to give Junhan a surprise.”
Speaking of Lu Junhan, Qin Weiwei curled up the corners of her mouth happily, looking as if she was the happiest woman in the world.
But her words sounded ridiculous to Wen Shuyue. She sighed and smiled, feeling sorry for her. “You’d better keep an eye on him before you get cheated.”
“What does that mean? Wen Shuyue, don’t you ever try to ruin their relationship. I won’t spare you if you don’t stop the nonsense,” Lu Yaoyao blurted out, looking a little nervous.
Obviously, Lu Yaoyao knew that her brother had affairs, and Qin Weiwei was the only one who was kept in the dark.
The mysterious smile on Wen Shuyue’s face gave Qin Weiwei the creeps, who felt like the clown sitting still and being laughed at.
