Chapter 13: Let My Best Friend Be the Little Mom
Wow, sis, you're really awesome, you actually want your good sister to be our little mom?" Wen Jingrou said helplessly.
Since we all agree that Dad should find a companion, it's naturally better to find someone whose background is clear, like my good sister.
Wen Yuchun, like a little fox, giggled and continued: "Xiao Xiao is a nice girl, returned from overseas studies, good-tempered, kind-hearted, and especially thoughtful; if she and Dad hit it off, handing Dad over to her would put us at ease."
"That does make sense." Wen Jingrou heard it and immediately expressed agreement, laughing and echoing: "Then we'll try our best to play matchmaker for Dad and your good sister."
Wen Yuchun nodded her head like a chick pecking at grain.
"You're speaking so happily, what are you saying?"
At that moment, Xiao Ming's voice came from outside the room, growing nearer.
"Dad, we were just chatting casually." The two sisters exchanged a smile and happily went to the living room.
Wen Jingrou rubbed XiaoMo's shoulders, and Wen Yuchun beat XiaoMo's legs.
Xiao Ming felt as if he had fallen into a rice bin: "They say daughters are warm little cotton-padded jackets, and that's not wrong at all—my two precious daughters are really warm-hearted."
Xiao Ming said, looking up at Wen Yunzhe, who was still touring around,
His son really doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all; he's never been reserved when entering.
Without comparison, there's no harm.
But it's comforting that his son's conduct is still quite good; although he's a bit hot-headed, he's only that old, and Xiao Ming can understand that.
He can see his son is somewhat ambitious; once Wen Yunzhe notices he has such a powerful backer behind him, he'll surely rush up to flatter him.
After tidying up the villa, the next issue was how to move in.
Xiao Ming immediately gave the Lincoln car keys to several people; coincidentally, that Lincoln was an extended model, good for the kids to move luggage.
"Dad? Wouldn't that be not too good?"
Glancing at the luxury car keys Dad handed over, Wen Yuchun said nervously: "If your superiors find out, they'll surely be angry."
"He never cares about such things."
Xiao Ming replied with a careless glance.
What he said was serious, but it's just letting the kids use a luxury car to move luggage—what's the big deal?
He didn't care at all.
As long as the kids are happy, even dismantling the car is fine.
"Alright, since Dad said that, we three won't stand on ceremony; we three will go collect our luggage, come back in the evening, and thereafter we'll be able to live together with Dad."
Wen Yuchun, exuberant like a little rabbit, hopped around Xiao Ming.
"Dad, see you later?"
When the several kids left, Xiao Ming gave the password to several of them.
After they left, Xiao Ming also hailed a taxi at that time and went to Yuxi Villa District.
Inside the villa.
Seeing Xiao Ming return, the servants stood respectfully on both sides, welcoming him inside.
"I haven't been coming back to stay for about the past half month."
Xiao Ming strode with his long legs toward the residence, heading straight for the study.
From the safe, he took out a wad of red bills and gave it to the housekeeper waiting outside: "Housekeeper Xi, in a moment give everyone two thousand as a bonus, and also prepare some red bean buns to eat—I'll take this with me."
Downstairs, the servants looked at the bonuses in their hands, faces full of happiness.
"Good heavens, sir, what happy thing have you encountered? You actually gave out so much bonus!"
Everyone was extremely happy; whenever the sir is in a good mood, he likes to give everyone money, calling it a bonus.
The amount of the bonus represents the sir's happiness level.
Today's bonus is so large, it represents the sir's mood being very wonderful.
"Alright, go about your own business." After Housekeeper Xi said that, everyone bustled off to their own work.
After distributing the bonuses, Housekeeper Xi returned upstairs to the study.
Seeing Xiao Ming sitting at the desk, his fingers tapping the tabletop intermittently, it seemed he was deep in thought.
"Sir, everything has been arranged."
Housekeeper Xi replied respectfully.
"Aunt Xi, you have a son, right?"
Xiao Ming raised his head and asked.
"Sir hasn't forgotten; my son bought a house and got married in our hometown, and has a pair of children. Thanks to your care, sir, my family lives very well." Housekeeper Xi said gratefully.
These words came from her heart, not the slightest falsehood.
Housekeeper Xi has followed Xiao Ming for many years, her work is very conscientious, and Xiao Ming's treatment of the servants has always been excellent.
She is wholehearted, and Xiao Ming approves of her conduct, so he entrusted all household affairs to her.
Not to mention her high salary, she also gives various bonuses from time to time; Housekeeper Xi gives all the money to her son, so his life can be that good.
"Pretty good." Xiao Ming smiled, then asked: "Housekeeper Xi, how close are you with your son?"
"What I mean is, how do you think one can quickly cultivate feelings with one's child?"
Housekeeper Xi answered seriously: "Well, I think the first condition is material—since food is paramount to the people, if we don't have to worry about clothing, food, housing, and transportation, we naturally have time to experience life; what do you think, sir?"
"That makes sense."
Xiao Ming nodded in approval: "People live; clothing, food, housing, and transportation come first. Without material support, there's no time to pay attention to other things— bluntly put, with money, everything is easy to discuss."
"Alright, go get busy."
Xiao Ming waved his hand, leaned back lazily, and continued to sink into contemplation.
He needs to think carefully and re‑plan his life plan.
The arrival of the several kids disturbed his original plan.
After that, regarding work matters, he remained a hands-off manager, but some plans needed to be changed.
After thinking, he picked up the desk phone, made a call, and spoke solemnly: "Special Assistant Sun, go arrange it, have the will redone."
"As I told you last time, after I die, all my property will be donated to a charitable institution."
"Go arrange it, have the will redone; also, go investigate..."
Having made the arrangements, he got up in a good mood and headed to the bedroom.
Before, he was alone; if he died, his property would have no heir, so it would be better to give it to charity.
But from this moment on, he is no longer alone; his vast family wealth now has an heir.
He has become a father, with one son and two daughters.
His future now has a focus at this moment.
He will give all of his possessions to his few treasures.
As long as it is something he can do for his children, he will do it with all his might.
He has been absent from his children's lives for over twenty years.
In the days ahead, he will make up doubly for the lost time and lost happiness.
……
As dusk approached, Xiao Ming, holding his Vajra Parrot, returned to the villa at Qilin Yuan.
