Chapter 262: Proactively Showing Goodwill

~6 min read 1,039 words

Are you wronging Jing Shu? What do you mean?

I've always felt that, well, Jing Shu seems to be involved with some other men outside, and today I finally confirmed it—this matter is basically just me overthinking it.

Xiao Yunzhe didn't say what exactly happened, so after hearing it, Xiao Ming just gave a faint smile.

Dad's judgment of people is never wrong, and Jing Shu isn't that kind of child; if she really had someone outside, she definitely wouldn't be in this situation, so this time you should be the one who's sorry to her.

Dad, so I feel guilty inside, and earlier, in front of her parents, I said so many outrageous things; I really don't know how to face her now.

Young people making a mistake is still normal, and it doesn't solve any big problem; by the way, do you still remember the matter with Geng Yu Er?

Geng Yu Er? Dad, what's up?

If my guess is correct, Geng Yu Er probably was just fired by that state-owned enterprise today.

What? Dad, what are you saying? Fired? How did this happen?

Don't you remember? Back then we decided this matter was Geng Yu Er's doing, so in anger we fired him.

Is this all your doing?

That's right, I'm fairly familiar with the chairman of their company, so I greeted him and then found an excuse to fire Geng Yu Er.

Dad, but if we do this now, isn't it a bit too hasty?

So isn't this a perfect opportunity? If he comes to us because of this matter, we can conveniently settle it, which would make your embarrassment disappear, right?

Hmm, if you put it that way, that really makes sense.

So Yunzhe, everything is up to human effort; sometimes, after going around in circles, you'll realize you've actually stayed in the same place without moving at all.

Dad, I understand.

Jing Shu is a good girl; you must cherish her properly. Besides, she's already been discharged from the hospital, so why hasn't she returned home, and why are you letting her stay at her parents' place?

Dad, we haven't officially married yet, and he is still by his parents' side, where he can receive more care, so I haven't rushed to bring him over.

How can you do that? Since you've already decided on this person, and she even bore a child for you before, how could you push him aside like that?

But you also know that I'm now at the company every day....

I tell you, these are all excuses; why can't you hire a nanny at home? Why can't you hire a childcare helper? Aren't these people experienced? Don't worry, I'll make time tomorrow to bring the person back.

Okay, I understand.

Xiao Ming didn't dare to say anything further.

Afterward, they fell into silence.

He actually didn't know deep down what he was thinking—whether bringing Jing Shu back was right or wrong.

In Xiao Yunzhe's heart, there was never a clear answer.

The next morning, Xiao Yunzhe returned to the company.

And to his surprise, he actually spotted Geng Jing Shu at a glance here.

He found it strange—how could Geng Jing Shu appear at the company so early? This had never happened before.

Jing Shu, you, how did you come over?

He walked over in surprise, and then Geng Jing Shu said.

Geng Jing Shu merely smiled as she stood up.

How, you don't want me to come, do you?

Hehe, that's not it; you're not resting at home early in the morning, so how did you suddenly come to my company?

Did you have breakfast?

No, I just got up and then came straight to the company; I still have some things to do here.

It seems I know you definitely didn't have breakfast; come, look what I brought you.

After saying that, he lifted the thermal bucket over; soon Geng Jing Shu opened it directly.

A wave of hot steam quickly blew over.

Is this, this baozi?

That's right, these are the baozi my mother steamed after waking up this morning, and also the soy milk she was going to make for you—these are your favorites, so I brought them over.

While speaking, they spread out all the food and placed them one by one on the table.

Jing Shu, you, what is this?

This actually made Xiao Yunzhe feel somewhat overwhelmed by favor.

Moreover, I originally felt that Geng Jing Shu still had some anger inside, but I didn't expect it to be completely resolved so quickly.

Alright, between husband and wife, what's there to hold a grudge overnight? And you were so concerned about me before—wasn't it just because you feared losing me? You say, isn't that what you meant?

This, hehe, maybe so.

Xiao Yunzhe just gave an embarrassed smile; he wasn't even clear whether that was what he truly meant.

You know, actually, it's also my fault—I sometimes act willful, and I didn't take good care of the child for you; no matter what, the child is gone, and this matter is greatly related to me, and I bear an inescapable responsibility.

No, you can't say that; it's completely an accident, so you don't need to keep dwelling on these things in your heart.

Alright, alright, let's stop being modest with each other; no matter whose fault it is, anyway the matter is past, we two will continue hand in hand as before—don't worry, we will definitely have a child again.

Hmm, okay, I understand.

At this moment, Xiao Yunzhe also suddenly felt his mood relax, so he picked up a baozi and stuffed it into his mouth.

Oh dear, look at you, eat slowly—this oil is dripping out.

Geng Jing Shu said this, then took a piece of paper from the table and gently wiped the corner of his mouth.

Finally, he gulped down all six baozi into his stomach in one go.

All right, I'm already full; how about you? Are you staying at the company, or do you want to go somewhere else?

I don't know either; going home to face my parents isn't meaningful either, and going to your place would also leave me alone and empty.
