Chapter 18: Learning only the bad, not the good

「Miss Wen, since you've received Hehe Young Master, I'll head back first. 」 said Lu Zhaoye's secretary with a smile.

Wen Ling rubbed Hehe, and to Lu Zhaoye's secretary she was very polite: "Thank you for sending Hehe, I will separately give you a payment, and let Lu Zhaoye give it to you."

The secretary's smile became more evident, she slightly bowed to show thanks, after saying goodbye she then went to the waiting lounge.

Bodyguards helped her push the pet stroller, Wen Ling from time to time bent over to glance at Hehe, her happy emotions overflowed, and she didn't even notice Zhou Yinhe walking out from the nearby lounge.

Zhou Yinhe naturally saw Wen Ling's occasional bending to pet the cat, his face sank, undeniably he felt some discomfort in his chest.

He rubbed his chest, turned and strode off with Cheng Yu.

Zhou Yinhe came today just to pick up his older brother; his older brother Zhou Yanqiu two months earlier had handed over all the group's affairs to his retired father and second brother, took his wife and went on an overseas world tour, and just before returning on the flight he called, specifically requesting Zhou Yinhe to come pick him up.

Zhou Yanqiu walked out with his wife Shang Zhiyu, and at first sight saw Zhou Yinhe lazily standing at the pickup gate.

Shang Zhiyu couldn't help but laugh, Zhou Yanqiu had a full head of black lines.

He deliberately wanted Zhou Yinhe to come pick them up so they could have him push the luggage, but instead Zhou Yinhe showed up with his secretary.

Cheng Yu indeed had good sense, stepping forward to take the luggage cart Zhou Yanqiu was pushing, and respectfully greeted the boss's elder brother and sister-in-law.

Zhou Yanqiu gave Zhou Yinhe a sideways glance and said in a sarcastic tone: "I asked you to come help me and your sister-in-law push the luggage, but you brought someone."

Zhou Yinhe first nodded at Shang Zhiyu as a greeting, then drew out his words slowly: "I knew you wouldn't let me come for anything good, so I kept a trick up my sleeve."

Shang Zhiyu knew his temperament; seeing Zhou Yanqiu still wanting to scold Zhou Yinhe, she shook Zhou Yanqiu's arm and gave him a glare.

Zhou Yanqiu could only swallow his words back.

Today, Zhou Yinhe specifically had Cheng Yu drive a Cayenne, he sat in the front passenger seat, and let his older brother and sister-in-law sit in the back.

As soon as they got in the car, Zhou Yinhe was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, resting his arm on the window frame to support his forehead, not saying a word.

Zhou Yanqiu had to speak up: "Mom said, Wen Ling has returned."

Zhou Yinhe continued to pretend to be deaf and mute.

"How? Want to reconcile?" Zhou Yanqiu, seeing him like that, couldn't help but want to mock, but Shang Zhiyu's reaching hand twisted his waist hard, and he gasped in pain.

Shang Zhiyu softly said: "Xiao Wu, don't bother with your older brother; he's been too idle lately, tomorrow let him go to work and he'll learn to keep his mouth shut."

Zhou Yanqiu opened his mouth, but upon receiving Shang Zhiyu's threatening glance, he embarrassedly closed it.

"Mm, I won't quarrel with my older brother." Zhou Yinhe only then spoke, looking at Zhou Yanqiu through the rearview mirror with a mocking gaze; Zhou Yanqiu truly missed the little Xiao Wu from childhood, cute and lovable, trailing behind his siblings, calling out "big brother, big sister" in a childish voice.

"Now, well, Zhou Yanqiu can't even be bothered to say."

On the contrary, Shang Zhiyu treats Zhou Yinhe extremely well; as the older brother, he can't say a single bad word about Xiao Wu.

Upon receiving the older brother's warning glance, Zhou Yinhe nonchalantly withdrew his gaze and continued to stay silent.

Meanwhile, Wen Ling, as soon as she got in the car, held her precious cat son to her chest and directly began to smother him in cat snuggles.

"Precious Hehe smells so good." Wen Ling laughed as she praised it.

Probably Lu Zhaoye, before sending Hehe to Hua Guo, had taken Hehe for a bath and grooming; now Hehe is practically the dream cat, with a huge, long body, handsome and soft, making the two bodyguards' hands itch.

Wen Ling had people prepare all of Hehe's supplies in advance, stocking especially many of his favorite snack cans.

While Hehe was exploring the territory, Wen Ling's unhappiness that she had been suppressing welled up.

She lay on the sofa, gazing blankly at the ceiling; Aunt Zhou, who was in the kitchen making cat food for Hehe, saw her like this, stepped forward and asked concernedly: "Ah Ling, what's wrong? You look down in the dumps."

Wen Ling came to, propped herself up and looked at the similarly puzzled expression on the person standing on the stairs looking at her own Hehe, and laughed to Aunt Zhou: "Nothing, I just zoned out."

Aunt Zhou nodded: "Then I'll continue making food for Hehe."

Wen Ling pursed her lips, waved at Hehe, and Hehe came running over in a wobbly trot.

Wen Ling picked it up and complained: "How did you get fat again? You'll become a little piglet."

Hehe protested with a "meow," as if saying: "Even if I get fatter, I'm still the most handsome meow."

Wen Ling hugged it and gave a soft hum: "That bastard Zhou Yinhe, when you see him later you scratch him, hear me?"

Hehe was already familiar with the three words "Zhou Yinhe," and upon hearing them meowed again.

Wen Ling took it as agreement, smiling with curved eyes as she praised it.

At this moment Lu Zhaoye called; Wen Ling, holding Hehe, lay on the sofa, adjusted her posture, then answered.

"Did you receive Hehe?"

Wen Ling lazily hummed an "mm," scratched Hehe's chin and said to Hehe: "Come, say hello to your good brother."

Lu Zhaoye scolded her for being sick, but Wen Ling wasn't angry, she giggled.

Lu Zhaoye couldn't be bothered to argue, and got to the point: "Last time I forgot to ask, how have you been lately?"

Wen Ling collected her smile, irritably pursed her lips and said: "Just now I happened to run into Zhou Yinhe, who told me to stop looking for him in the future and said he wouldn't reconcile with me."

Lu Zhaoye paused, then said: "So what do you think?"

"I won't give up." Wen Ling and Lu Zhaoye are childhood sweethearts; she can tell him everything, so she directly said: "If Zhou Yinhe truly doesn't want to reconcile with me, I'll learn from your dad, knock him out, bring him back to M Country and lock him up until he's willing."

Lu Zhaoye follows his mother's surname; his father is from the royal family of M Country, and his mother was forcibly taken by his father.

The Wen family's conglomerate sits at the pinnacle of M Country's pyramid; the royal family and the Wen family cooperate, which is why Lu Zhaoye and Wen Ling are childhood sweethearts.

"Fine, learning only the bad and not the good." Lu Zhaoye sneered.

Wen Ling gave a soft hum: "If it works, it's not bad."

"Do as you like, but don't just chase Zhou Yinhe; there's also Ruan MiaoMiao." Lu Zhaoye reminded her.

Wen Ling's fingers sank into Hehe's fur, and she said: "I know, the opportunity is coming right up."

Ruan MiaoMiao will attend a banquet next; she has already plotted everything, just waiting for Ruan MiaoMiao herself to take the bait.

"Mm, hanging up." Lu Zhaoye didn't care whether Wen Ling had more to say, and directly hung up.

By now Aunt Zhou had already finished preparing Hehe's cat food, walked to the living room sofa, coaxing while bending to pick Hehe up from Wen Ling's embrace; Hehe lazily stretched out his body, but still let Aunt Zhou take him away.

Wen Ling turned over and lay prone on the sofa; her phone suddenly buzzed once, a notification tone.
