Stop There, Daddy

“Wen Baobao!”

“Mommy, don’t be mad. I was setting you up with him.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

On reaching home, Wen Baobao rushed to the fridge to grab his favorite yogurt. Though he was smarter than his peers, he was a kid after all. Plus, he didn’t eat much at the restaurant.

“Wen Baobao,” Wen Shuyue said with a serious look, “don’t ever try to set me up with anyone again.” That rare look daunted Wen Baobao a little, but it didn’t make him any less upset.

“Why not? I did that for your sake, mommy. You need someone to take care of you.”

His words melted Wen Shuyue’s heart. All these years, they had depended on each other through all difficult and upset moments. Wen Baobao bore all those moments in mind, which was why he insisted on finding love for his mother.

Thinking of that, Wen Shuyue didn’t want to blame him anymore. She bent her knees, crouched in front of him and said, looking straight at his eyes. “Baobao, you’re the only one I need. He Siming isn’t right for mommy.”

Confused by her words, Wen Baobao blinked his eyes.

He liked He Siming a lot and felt He Siming was… His father.

“Mommy, you don’t like Mr. He?”

His words were dumbfounding to Wen Shuyue. In children’s world, everything was always simple. Wen Shuyue said softly as she rubbed his head, “He’s just my business partner.”

Seeing Wen Baobao remain upset, Wen Shuyue comforted him patiently, “Baobao, have I ever forced you to eat the green pepper, which you don’t like?”

“No.”

“So when I say I don’t want you to set me up with anyone, what should you do?”

Wen Baobao gave it a thought and soon understood what his mother meant. Though he was still a little unhappy, he nodded, “Mommy, I got it.”

“Wen Shuyue, you should have called me when you came back. Anyway, let’s have some fun at the High Bar tonight. Be there or be square.”

“Lin Lin, I’d love to, but you know, I just can’t.”

Wen Shuyue made friends with Lin Lin when they were abroad. Lin Lin was loyal to friends though she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Knowing that Wen Shuyue came back, Lin Lin called and asked her out.

“Yeah, Baobao again. But I only ask for one night. How long has it been since we met? You’ve got to come.” The noise around Lin Lin didn’t make her sound any less excited.

Failing to reject Lin Lin, Wen Shuyue had the babysitter take care of Wen Baobao after putting him to sleep. She put on some casual clothes and left the villa.

On her way to meet Lin Lin, Wen Shuyue realized she had left her phone at home. As she went back to get her phone, she bumped into a woman face to face.

It was Qin Weiwei.

“Wen… Wen Shuyue, you’re back.”

As soon as Qin Weiwei met Wen Shuyue, Qin Weiwei’s face turned pale. As an accomplice in the encroachment thing, Qin Weiwei had tried hard to erase Wen Shuyue’s name from her memory all these five years. She never expected Wen Shuyue would show up in front of her five years later.

Qin Weiwei had been jealous of Wen Shuyue even before then.

Wen Shuyue had enjoyed great popularity in the celebrity circle while Qin Weiwei could have only foiled her like a maid, since the Wen family had been more powerful than the Qin Family.

However, five years’ time had turned everything around completely.

Thinking that Wen Shuyue had got nothing after the divorce, Qin Weiwei couldn’t hold the smile and pretended to be caring, “Shuyue, you should have told me when you came back, I would have treated you a meal.”

“Don’t bother, Mrs. Lu.”

Her words changed the atmosphere abruptly.

“Shuyue, you knew that…”

The smile on Qin Weiwei’s face froze slightly, which looked somewhat restrictive in Wen Shuyue’s insightful eyes.

Five years ago, Wen Shuyue had been good for nothing, but now she became overwhelming. As soon as Qin Weiwei slightly lowered her eyes, her eyes turned red. “I didn’t mean to make it big. Junhan insisted on holding a big wedding ceremony because he didn’t want me to feel upset…”

Their wedding of the century was quite an enviable one, which still looked splendid today.

Contempt flickered in Wen Shuyue’s eyes as she watched Qin’s hypocritical affectation with her arms across the chest. She said with a fake smile, “Right, it’s quite a surprise that my ex-husband married you and transferred the shares of the Wen Group to you as the bride price.”

That was what made Wen Shuyue sick.

Lu Junhan and Qin Weiwei, an indecent couple, had planned to encroach the property of the Wen family. It was quite stupid of Wen Shuyue to have treated Qin Weiwei as her bosom friend.

“Qin Weiwei, you don’t even feel shameful to have kept my shares all these years?”

“Wen Shuyue, are you blaming me? You cheated on Junhan first, so you should be thankful he didn’t get even with you. How dare you even slander us?”

Qin Weiwei said that with anger overtaking her guilt because Wen Shuyue’s words hit the nail on the head.

“How come I didn’t know you’re that shameless?” Wen Shuyue said in a cold tone. She remained silent for a while and said, sardonically smiling, “You remind me of a buzzword, angelic bitch.”

“Wen Shuyue, you’re a bitch…”

“I dare you say that again!”

Before Qin Weiwei could finish her words, Wen Shuyue strode forward, having suppressed her anger. The height of Wen Shuyue allowed her to squint at Qin Weiwei condescendingly as she said, “I don’t mind teaching you a lesson with my hand.”

Her words gave Qin Weiwei a tremble in the heart. Qin Weiwei staggered and said without thinking, “Wen Shuyue, don’t be so smug. Look at you, branded clothes, a nice car. I guess you’ve slept with a big boss and got all these as rewards, right?”

Being furious, Wen Shuyue burst into laughter and didn’t even bother to talk back.

But Qin Weiwei interpreted that her words hit home and felt reassured to add, “I never expected you, an educated heiress, would end up as a mistress. Wen Shuyue, what makes you feel proud?”

“Qin Weiwei, for your information, this car and the villa behind you, they’re all mine. I earned them by working hard.”

“Oh right,” Wen Shuyue changed her subject with a contempt look in her eyes, “you’ve got that experience, of course you’ll come up with such an awful idea. Now I’m not sure if I should feel sorry or angry.”

Wen Shuyue said coldly before walking past Qin Weiwei. Overwhelmed by Wen Shuyue’s attitude, Qin Weiwei trembled and her sharp fingernails dug in the palms of her hands.

Wen Shuyue was a bitch.

Qin Weiwei couldn’t believe her.

Five years ago, Wen Shuyue had got nothing after the divorce; but now, how come she owned a nice car and even a villa?

“Wen Shuyue, you’re all bark and no bite. Just admit it that you’re a home wrecker.”

“Mrs. Lu, your husband knows who I am now. Go ask him,” Wen Shuyue said as she halted her steps. She didn’t feel angry at Qin Weiwei’s satire and said offhand, squinting at her peacefully, “A dog returns to its vomit, but not all fools return to their folly.”

Stricken dumb, Qin Weiwei had no other choice but to watch Wen Shuyue walk away.

It didn’t make sense!

Wen Shuyue should be the homeless, pathetic one, but what had given her the superiority in the last five years to show off in front of Qin Weiwei?

Wen Shuyue was a bitch!
