Chapter 361: The Spy at Home

~6 min read 1,120 words

Originally, it was because Geng Jing Shu had already returned, so Xiao Ming's face immediately showed a smile.

No matter what, they are still a family now, and there's no need to lay everything out in the open.

"Jing Shu, why did you come back only now?"

"Oh, Dad, you're at home? I just said I was at the company and didn't see you."

"What? You went to the company?"

"Yes, I went to the company because I needed to bring some food for Yunzhe and Wu Laoshi; they've been busy all day at the company, so I guess they didn't have a proper meal. Nowadays, those takeouts outside are really inedible."

"Hehe, Jing Shu's thoughtfulness is still there, and actually, in the middle of the night there's no need to run back and forth; letting the servants do it is just the same."

"Dad, you don't know, this Yunzhe is picky about food normally, and he doesn't like what the servants cook; he only likes my cooking, so just now they've already eaten all of this."

Speaking, Geng Jing Shu proudly took out those two food buckets and gestured to the two people in front of her.

"Good, good, Jing Shu, that really was hard work for you. Alright, hurry up and put it in the kitchen, let the servants tidy it up, then go wash up and rest early."

"Okay, I know, Dad."

"Wait a moment."

Just as I saw Geng Jing Shu about to walk inside, Xiao Ming suddenly called her to stop.

Geng Jing Shu merely turned her body slowly, curiously lifting her head to look at Xiao Ming,

"Dad, what's wrong? Is there something?"

"Jing Shu, I see the weather getting colder and colder, and your clothes are still so thin; don't you have suitable clothes? Here, take this card; tomorrow you can go shopping and buy some clothes properly."

Speaking, he pulled out a black credit card from his pocket, preparing to place it in front of Geng Jing Shu.

"Dad, no need, really no need, and I have plenty of clothes; I'm just naturally hot-natured, so I don't wear that much. Really, if you don't believe me, come up and see."

"Hehe, is that so? If there is, it's only from before; just take this for now."

"Dad, really no need."

"Take it, what's wrong? I gave it to you, and now you don't even dare to ask for it?"

Seeing Xiao Ming seem a little angry, Geng Jing Shu then placed that thing in her hand.

"Dad, then, thank you really, but I really don't need to use it now; how about this: after these two days when Yunzhe finishes his busy work, I'll follow him and we two will go buy you two sets of clothes together."

"What clothes should I buy anyway? I have plenty of clothes, so you don't need to worry; just live your own small lives well, got it?"

"Okay, I know."

"Also, Jing Shu, you should understand that these days the company really has a lot going on, so Yunzhe can't always stay by your side and guard you well; you need to have a plan in mind, understand?"

"Dad, I know, and I've already gotten used to it; men should focus on their careers, right? My parents used to tell me that all the time when they were at home."

"Hehe, good, it seems your dad really does have foresight in this regard. Alright, when I have time another day, I'll invite them both out, and then we'll have a good family meal together."

"Okay, Dad, you go ahead and handle the company matters first; we'll talk about this later, after all, we're still a family; whenever we eat, it's the same."

"Okay, I know, Jing Shu, you go rest now; it's already this late."

"Alright, Dad, you be careful too; when you're with Mingzhe usually, don't just focus on work all the time, you must pay attention to your health, got it?"

"Okay, I know."

Xiao Ming just handled all this easily here.

After he returned to his room, Xiao Yuchun turned her head to look, and then Xiao Ming gave her a glance, and the two hurriedly left the room.

"Dad, did you see? I feel all this is really too fake; before I didn't notice, but today I feel he's just acting."

"Exactly, I'm testing all this."

"What did you find out?"

"You're not standing here for nothing, right? And this isn't already visible? All this is just a pretense."

"So you mean, in his heart he really has other thoughts, right?"

"Exactly, before when he talked to me, it was definitely not an attitude, and he was always wishy-washy, but this time he seems to be actively caring about me, which proves he must feel very guilty inside."

"How exactly did she betray my brother? Could it be that she's really together with that man?"

"I can't guarantee that; after all, we have no substantive evidence, so all this can only be speculation, and I can also tell you definitely that this woman should have problems."

"Dad, since we know she has problems, what should we do next?"

"We must remind Yunzhe to be careful and on guard; forget it, I'll first call Yunzhe to let him know what's going on; also, when you're at home, you should pay attention to your speech and actions, got it?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be a spy still at home; from now on I really feel a bit awkward."

"No, just temporary; once I finish handling the company side, I'll immediately turn around to deal with the two of them; however, this couple's bickering is actually quite normal, after all."

"Alright, I know."

"I need to rush over now; remember what I told you, and absolutely don't let her have any suspicions, or else we'll scare the snake away, got it?"

"Okay, I know, you relax."

After saying that, Xiao Ming merely nodded lightly, then turned and left from here.

He kept thinking about this matter in his heart, but he didn't overcomplicate it.

He just thought maybe this woman should have betrayed Xiao Yunzhe.

But now it's the critical period of company restructuring; some things really can't be let known to Xiao Yun Zhe.

If he really knew, then things would probably backfire, and he also wouldn't have the mind to continue working on the company restructuring.

When he returned to the company, it was already eleven o'clock at night; seeing Wu Laoshi's room light should be on, he knew Xiao Yunzhe and he were still working in there.

He walked to the door and then lightly knocked on the door.
