Chapter 22: A civilian dad turns out to be a wealthy tycoon

"This... well, from now on, you three siblings will have no worries about food and clothing!"

Xiao Ming thought for a moment, then replied.

"Dad, you hid it from the two of us and gave money to my brother to pay off his debt, didn't you?" At this moment, Wen Jingrou suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.

"Um, that's right. This debt has been weighing on your brother for half a year. I couldn't bear to see him continue to decline, so I paid it off, so he could pull himself together."

Xiao Ming replied truthfully.

"Okay!" The two sisters were now so shocked they felt helpless, and could only accept the reality that their father was very wealthy.

Both were listless, immersed in their own thoughts.

The father we thought was a commoner turned out to be a rich man.

I myself instantly went from being poor to becoming a wealthy young lady—this amount of information is truly overwhelming.

"You two, don't feel pressured."

Seeing the two children suddenly lose their previous vitality, Xiao Ming felt heartbroken.

"I am your father; my property, I can't take it with me when I die. Sooner or later it will all be yours, so enjoying it now is nothing wrong." Xiao Ming advised: "People live to be happy; what is money? Happiness is what matters most."

"Being able to stay with you makes me feel like a new share—I'm still waiting for you three to be filial to me; this is something money can't buy."

"Alright, Dad, we promise we will definitely be filial to you."

Wen Yuchun has always been carefree; she quickly understood. Afterwards, she happily promised Xiao Ming.

"I also promise to be filial to Dad." Wen Jingrou also echoed.

"Jingrou, look at my bracelet; I especially like this design..." After Wen Yuchun figured things out, she took out the bracelet Xiao Ming had bought for her, and while speaking to Wen Jingrou, she happily put it on.

Having lived twenty-two years, this was the first time she received something her father bought for her; this bracelet, she likes it no matter how she looks at it.

Wen Yuchun cheered and jumped for joy, utterly adorable.

"Hehe, I also really like mine." Wen Jingrou also put on her own bracelet.

The two sisters happily began to discuss.

Xiao Ming listened to the two sisters' joyful laughter and, because of a gift he liked, felt happy for no reason, yet inexplicably felt sad and guilty.

These children have had such a difficult time these past years.

And he, while his children were having a hard time, was completely unaware.

While his children were desperately working for a little income, he might have been drinking some high-end brand red wine.

Just think, this is a huge sin; he almost hates himself to death.

Back then, if he had merely gone to look for Wen Zihan, he would have known the children existed, and his children wouldn't have suffered so much.

From now on, he will make sure his children live happily and give them the best of everything.

Returning home.

Wen Yuchun suddenly remembered the condition of the house when they first moved in, and she asked doubtfully: "Dad, you actually don't live here, do you?"

"Yeah!"

Xiao Ming openly admitted: "I told you before, I have another residence; the house there is much better than this one, and I'll bring you three there to live later."

He had already figured it out; his wealth and status should be gradually understood by the children.

Can't be impatient.

"Sure!" Upon hearing they would go to the place where their father usually lives, Wen Yuchun and Wen Jingrou instantly became happy, pulling each other and jumping up and down.

Along the way, both came to understand that even if their father is very wealthy, it's nothing special.

Dad is still their dad, and they are still his children.

Anyway, it will eventually be theirs; enjoying it early is no problem—what matters most is the family being happy together.

"It's getting dark soon, kids, let's order dishes?" After putting down the things he bought, Xiao Ming stood up and asked the two daughters.

"I want to eat crayfish."

"I can eat anything; I like all the dishes Dad makes."

As soon as the two sisters mentioned Xiao Ming's cooking, their appetites were fully whetted.

"Good." Xiao Ming smiled and nodded: "Change your clothes, let's go buy some vegetables."

The three father and daughter changed clothes, went to a nearby supermarket, bought plenty of ingredients, and returned home; it was already past five.

As the father and daughter group returned home, Wen Yunzhe also happened to arrive home.

He seemed in a decent mood; when he arrived home, he was still humming a little tune.

"Brother, you're back too." Seeing her brother come home, Wen Yuchun hurriedly went to meet him, took what he was holding, and asked: "How did it go at Minghui Group?"

"Instant success!" Wen Yunzhe happily snapped his fingers: "Especially smooth; as soon as I arrived at Minghui Group, the person my dad mentioned was actually waiting at the company gate. I told him I was Xiao Ming's son, and he was dumbfounded."

"Later I found out he was a high-ranking department manager; he had already arranged my work position, and his attitude was especially respectful, making me feel as if he weren't my superior but rather I was his."

"I and my company colleagues were all stunned."

At the end, Wen Yunzhe also jokingly said that and made a cute face.

Afterwards, he noticed Xiao Ming's gaze and earnestly told him: "Dad, I just went to the company; coincidentally, that manager encountered a tricky problem, and I on the spot proposed a solution. He heard it and repeatedly praised me, saying I have great business talent."

"Not bad!" Xiao Ming heard this, was slightly startled, then nodded satisfactorily.

Manager Wang, a talent he painstakingly cultivated, is very strict in character; his respectful attitude toward Wen Yunzhe is nothing surprising, after all Wen Yunzhe is his son.

But being able to praise Wen Yunzhe is truly rare; that guy, in work matters, has always been an impartial hardliner.

This is also one of the reasons Xiao Ming heavily relies on Manager Wang.

Wen Yunzhe being appreciated by Manager Wang makes Xiao Ming quite happy.

"Jingrou, Yuchun, guess what benefits the company gave me?" Wen Yunzhe, from the moment he entered the house until now, has always had a smile on his face: "Probation period: 10,000; probation is one month; after becoming regular it's 30,000, plus various bonuses— that manager said I can easily take home sixty to seventy thousand a month."

"Before, you two were taking care of me; from now on, I will support you, giving you my salary for you to spend as you wish." Wen Yunzhe said generously.

"That's pretty good." Wen Jingrou heard it and also felt happy for Wen Yunzhe from the bottom of her heart: "You should work diligently and cherish this hard-won opportunity."

"Sixty or seventy thousand, what's that?" Wen Yuchun raised her hand, extended it in front of Wen Yunzhe's face and shook it, then said: "Sixty or seventy thousand, not much."

"Look, Dad bought me two brand-name bracelets, each costing thirty or forty thousand."

"This?" Wen Yunzhe disbelievingly pulled up his sister's hand to look: "Yuchun, stop teasing me, how could that be?"
