Stop There, Daddy

“Back then, your mother was the prettiest girl in the university. Many men chased after her, and I was also attracted by her tenderness and loveliness. I loved your mother very much. In my eyes, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Later on, we had you and I felt that I should treat her better…”

Wen Long offered to talk about his story with Mother Wen. There was a light smile on his old shriveled face as if that was the happiest time in his life.

“What happened back then? How did Lu Junhan take control of the company’s accounts? What tricks did he play?” When Wen Long was almost done talking, Wen Shuyue asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

She didn’t believe that her father would do something illegal. He must have been framed by Lu Junhan. The discovery of the truth hinged on her father’s memory.

Wen Long was immersed in his emotions. Wen Shuyue’s question took him by surprise. He vaguely remembered those dark days that he didn’t dare to recall.

Looking at the pain on Wen Long’s face, Wen Shuyue quietly waited for him. She knew that he would tell her.

Wen Long looked up and met Wen Shuyue’s encouraging eyes. He recalled the past and started to tell her about it.

As time passed, Wen Shuyue felt heavier.

Her father’s memory was not complete. He mentioned Mother Wen the most. He had been treating Mother Wen well, but Mother Wen was indifferent to him just like what Wen Shuyue remembered.

When the time was up, the prison guard urged them stunned impatiently. Wen Shuyue had to end the topic. Before she put the phone down, she said to Wen Long affectionately, “Dad, I will save you and get you out of here.”

Wen Long was taken away by the prison guard. Before he went into the cell, he said, “Okay.”

Wen Shuyue felt her eyes were stinging. She wanted to cry.

The trip to the prison weighed her heart down, and she could hardly breathe.

Wen Baobao found that his mother was more disturbed in such a short day.

He moved his small body and held Wen Shuyue’s neck, his cheeks pressing tightly against hers. “Mommy, don’t worry. I’m awesome. I’ll help you find out the truth and save Grandfather.”

As if he was worried that Wen Shuyue would not believe him, Wen Baobao jumped down from the sofa and patted his chest, saying firmly, “I mean it, Mommy. You have to believe me. I’ll always stand by your side.”

Wen Shuyue was amused by Wen Baobao’s serious expression. She chuckled and pulled him into her arms. “Of course, I believe you. You are much smarter than me.”

“That’s right. Whose child I am?”

Wen Baobao was so proud that he got carried away. He didn’t notice the changed expression on Wen Shuyue’s face.

She thought, “Whose child are you? You are the child of the He family.”

Wen Shuyue stroked Wen Baobao’s short hair and forced a smile.

Wen Baobao went ahead and did it. After supper, he went to his room and read through the history of the Lu Group. He even found out all the news about Lu Junhan four years ago. Although he had a high IQ, he was a child. He soon fell asleep with his tablet.

After Wen Shuyue finished her work, she went to his room and saw him dribbling on the tablet.

She took away the tablet from him and tucked him in before she left quietly.

Back in her room, she sat on the bed and was about to read the news Wen Baobao had gathered.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Without even looking at it, she picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Aren’t you coming back?”

The man’s unique, deep voice instantly froze Wen Shuyue. She looked at the phone screen and saw He Siming’s name.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Stifling the urge to hang up on him, Wen Shuyue said lightly, “No.”

She thought of something and added, “Mr. He, don’t come to MK to see me.”

After she spoke, she hung up the phone without any demur. It was neat.

When the phone screen darkened, she let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the bed as if a heavy burden had been removed from her.

She didn’t know if her last sentence was necessary, but they’d better cut all the ties from each other and not see each other.

At the He house.

As He Siming heard the beeping sound of the phone, he unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone.

Wen Shuyue…

In the darkness, his eyes glinted coldly, and he pressed his lips.

When He Siming got home, the butler told him that Wen Shuyue went on a business trip and even took Wen Baobao away.

Did she have to take Wen Baobao away on a business trip?

He Siming was not a fool.

He Siming went to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the unfathomable night. He dialed a number, “Hello, Guan Yue, send my work plans for the next week in my email. I need them by tomorrow.”

After he spoke, he hung up. A cold wind blew his short hair up, and his handsome face turned icy.

Wen Shuyue didn’t receive any calls from He Siming for the following two days, and he didn’t come to see her in the company. She should feel happy, and she felt empty inside.

Thankfully, the company business thrived, and she was making progress on Wen Long’s case. Therefore, Wen Shuyue was too busy to think of He Siming.

As she focused on her work, Wen Baobao was worried about them.

He managed to find his father, but now he lost him. He was upset, but he knew his mother was angry.

Who started the trouble should end it. Wen Baobao felt it necessary for him to talk to He Siming.

Wen Baobao went ahead and did it. When Wen Shuyue was having a meeting, he went to Mannis by himself.

He Siming was shocked when he saw Wen Baobao.

At that time, he was about to ask Guan Yue to get him a cup of coffee. When he raised his head, he saw a pair of eyes that looked like his blinking at him.

Wen Baobao asked He Siming to stop working. He climbed onto his lap and said earnestly, “Dad, I don’t know how you angered Mommy. You are a man, and you should make her happy.”

He Siming frowned, and there was no warmth in his eyes. “Wen Baobao, your mommy decided to leave. I have nothing to do with it.”

“What do you mean? She’s your woman. Can’t you forgive her?” Wen Baobao saw He Siming unruffled and played his Trump card. He rubbed his fingers pitifully and said, “Mommy is so upset that she doesn’t eat or sleep well. She even stays in the office and works hard every day. She lost a lot of weight. I’m worried that she dies suddenly one day. What shall I do?”

As he spoke, he started to shed tears.

His tears surprised, He Siming, who didn’t know how to coax a child and consoled clumsily, “Wen Baobao, don’t cry.”

Wen Baobao didn’t want to cry at first. After He Siming spoke, he cried out loud.
