Tong Hua also did not talk too much to Lin Xiaojuan. After hanging up, he looked at Zhong Ran coldly and sat with crossed legs. “Why is foster daddy looking for me?”
“This…”
“Tell me, and I will spare your life!”
Zhong Ran thought for two seconds. He had decided to betray Ye Ling.
“He wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish. You are just bait.”
“I knew it!” Tong Hua was furious. “Douchebag, violent, and childish. Still dare to woo my mummy? Give up already!”
“…”
Shen Qianshu had completed her sampling test. Li Zhiyuan asked her out for a meal. Shen Qianshu thought that since Tong Hua would be back late and would not be having dinner at home, it would be meaningless for her to eat alone. Li Zhiyuan was not a bad guy. Though he was not able to woo Shen Qianshu, he still treated her as a friend and did not make her feel uncomfortable. She agreed to Li Zhiyuan’s invitation.
Having a fulfilling job, a few good friends, an unrealistic bosom friend, a cute son, and occasionally dating—life was really perfect.
The place where both of them were meeting for dinner was at the North Square, which was in the middle of their companies. This was the after work peak hour, and Li Zhiyuan wanted to go fetch Shen Qianshu.
Shen Qianshu said, “CEO Li, you don’t have to be so troublesome. You will need an hour to come over and another 40 minutes to go over. I will be famished by then. It is alright. I will take the train over.”
“No, this is my first date with Qianshu. How can I let Qianshu take the train over? This will not be a perfect date.”
“So you want me to starve?”
Li Zhiyuan seemed to be in a dilemma for a while. “Alright, between perfection and letting Qianshu go hungry, I will choose not to let our Qianshu darling go hungry.”
“…”
He really is… an expert in picking up girls.
“CEO Li, I won’t fall for such a trick.”
“So which trick will you fall for?”
Shen Qianshu thought that she really did not know the answer to this. For her ex-boyfriends, she had agreed only because they were good to Tong Hua.
After putting down the phone with Li Zhiyuan, her handphone vibrated. Tong Hua had sent her a video. Shen Qianshu raised her eyebrows and opened the video with all smiles. Her face changed drastically.
In the video, Tong Hua was surrounded by a group of men dressed in black. One of them was pointing a gun at his head.
Tong Hua said, “Mummy, I have been invited by foster daddy as a guest here. He said you would know where to find me.”
Tong Hua put great emphasis on the word ‘invited.’
Shen Qianshu held onto her handphone tightly. She was filled with hatred.
Ye Ling, if you dare to even touch a strand of Tong Hua’s hair, it will not be over between you and me.
Shen Qianshu rushed to the train station hurriedly.
In the living room downstairs.
Tong Hua darling sat on the sofa, filled with rage. Zhong Ran had brought him over, and he had waited the whole afternoon. He ate five cakes and went to the toilet three times. Tong Hua darling had hit the roof when he saw Ye Ling.
“Childish!”
Ye Ling did not feel any stress when he was being pointed at the nose and scolded for being childish by a seven-year-old child.
“Yeah, you are very mature.”
Tong Hua started to calm down slowly from his anger after he heard this line. Father and son both sat face-to-face. Ye Ling crossed his leg and seemed as though he was looking at Tong Hua harshly.
“Do you know how my mummy’s ex-boyfriends managed to hold her hand successfully?”
Ye Ling thought in his heart, Yeah, this is interesting.
This fellow has got guts and an agile mind.
“Appreciate further details.”
“Because they were hypocrites and pretended to be nice to me,” Tong Hua said. “You cannot even pretend to be a hypocrite, so you will not be able to hold my mummy’s hand.”
“So, they have all become ex-boyfriends.”
Tong Hua was stuck. He thought for a while.
Well, can’t find fault in that.
Argh, so angry.
This foster daddy, why isn’t he the all-brawn-but-no-brain type?
