Chapter 56: This is the demeanor my son should have

"Dad, is that something I could actually do?" Wen Yunzhe wanted to cry but had no tears; in his father's heart, could he really be that unreliable?

Upon seeing the cabinet full of luxury watches, the gloom that had just come from Xiao Ming's teasing vanished instantly.

"Wow, Dad, these watches are all so beautiful."

As a man, one cannot resist the temptation of cars, watches, and suits; Wen Yunzhe was no exception. Seeing so many luxury watches laid out before him, and being allowed to pick any, he felt his heart about to jump out of his chest.

"Dad, can I really just pick whatever I like and take them?" Wen Yunzhe swallowed, asking cautiously.

"Of course." Xiao Ming nodded, seeing Wen Yunzhe's excited state, he could hardly help but wryly smile.

"All right, Dad, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Wen Yunzhe glanced at Xiao Ming, saw no objection, and instantly beamed, beginning to pick from the pile of branded watches.

"Wow, Patek Philippe watches—you have all their series here!" Wen Yunzhe exclaimed while selecting, his eyes nearly popping out.

Finally, when he saw a particular Patek Philippe watch, he stopped his lingering gaze.

"Hey, you kid, you've got good taste." Xiao Ming stepped forward, took a look, and said: "Patek Philippe is the world's top-ranked watch brand; this model is the brand's newest limited edition, only ten pieces exist worldwide—no amount of money can buy one."

Xiao Ming said: "I didn't expect your taste to be this good; follow me, not bad."

After saying that, Xiao Ming broke into a happy smile.

"Dad, you mean...?" Wen Yunzhe looked at Xiao Ming in disbelief, his whole body excited and not knowing what to do with his hands and feet.

"Didn't I say? If you like it, just take it." Xiao Ming showed a rare affectionate look toward Wen Yunzhe: "You're my own son; for my son, how could I possibly be reluctant?"

"This watch, there are at least ten like it worldwide, but my son—there's only one of you in the whole world; compared to that, you're far more precious. If you like it, just take it."

Xiao Ming said, took out that limited-edition Patek Philippe watch, and personally placed it on Wen Yunzhe's wrist.

Happiness came too suddenly, too intensely, stunning Wen Yunzhe into standing frozen on the spot.

For a long while he didn't come back to his senses.

After putting the watch on Wen Yunzhe's wrist, Xiao Ming stepped back, examined him carefully, and nodded satisfactorily: "Hmm, not bad—this is exactly the demeanor my son should have."

Only after Xiao Ming had placed the watch on him and patted his shoulder did Wen Yunzhe jolt back to awareness.

"Dad, I, I'm so moved." Having come to his senses, Wen Yunzhe gave Xiao Ming an excited hug.

Then, Xiao Ming sent him off in a daze, and he took a taxi to the company.

All the way, he felt his head buzzing; several times he raised his hand to slap his own face to check whether he was dreaming.

His behavior left the driver looking bewildered.

After seeing Wen Yunzhe off, Xiao Ming slowly went upstairs and shouted outside the bedroom of Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun: "Lazybones, time to get up for breakfast."

…

Geng Jing Shu arrived at the company and, as usual, entered the office building promptly at around seven o'clock.

On the surface she seemed no different from usual, but inside her heart it was like seawater in the ocean, constantly churning violently.

After years of work, she had never received such treatment—being picked up and dropped off by a private car; it was simply, incredibly happy.

These past two days, she felt that following Wen Yunzhe, she had suddenly stepped onto the pinnacle of life.

She thought that for the rest of her life, she would spend it in such happiness.

"Since I started dating Yun Zhe, the opposition around me has never ceased; everyone says they don't understand why I insist on loving him."

"As it turns out, my persistence was right—I didn't love the wrong person."

Geng Jing Shu secretly thought to herself, the more she thought about it, the happier she became.

Geng Jing Shu understood that everything Wen Yunzhe now has comes from Xiao Ming, and everything she has obtained is because of her unborn child and Wen Yunzhe—Xiao Ming's affection extends to the crow's roof (i. e., he loves her because of them).

But she believed Wen Yunzhe would always love her and treat her well.

With Xiao Ming's help, Wen Yunzhe will surely achieve great things.

Arriving at the changing room, she changed into her work clothes and went to the sales department lobby.

Just as she entered the lobby, her direct supervisor strode over, face flushed with anger, and said: "Manager Geng, look at what you've done."

The supervisor threw a few invalid contracts at Geng Jing Shu's face, followed by a sharp scolding, and she instantly saw red.

Around, the coworkers were all watching her; Geng Jing Shu wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Jing Shu, don't take it to heart." Colleague Chen Sister came over to comfort her: "Haven't you sold several A-type apartments before? You sold three in a row, but last night the buyer suddenly said they weren't buying."

"Not only that, several of the apartments we previously sold have been rejected by the other party; as soon as the leadership heard it was related to you, they got furious."

Hearing Chen Sister's words, Geng Jing Shu instantly understood what was going on.

Although Chen Sister didn't explicitly say who, she knew—those three apartments had been sold to Wen Fengshu.

Naturally, the person offended was also Wen Fengshu.

"Hehe, what Yun Zhe said is right—that seductress is a despicable, shameless person."

Geng Jing Shu silently cursed, thinking of everything Wen Fengshu had done to Wen Yunzhe and his siblings, and seeing her current behavior, she felt intense disgust.

No wonder Wen Yunzhe doesn't want to acknowledge her.

Anyone in her place wouldn't want to acknowledge such a person.

The apartments were returned, and that's that.

However, after being lectured by the leadership like that, claiming not to feel wronged is false.

She composed her emotions and began the day's work.

When she felt wronged, just thinking of the baby in her belly made her heart feel much better; compared to Wen Yunzhe and the child, everything else seemed trivial.

"A super big piece of news." Approaching lunchtime, the leader who had previously scolded Geng Jing Shu came before everyone, excitedly saying: "Just half an hour ago, our properties were bought out by a mysterious big shot—one hundred units, all paid in full."

One hundred units?

The properties in this area are all very high-end; some people have to exhaust all their resources just to buy one.

Moreover, most are bought with a down payment first, then installments.

"The contracts have all been signed, and the money has already arrived in the account—instant payment."
