Chapter 55: A Son's Status Depends on His Mother

Qu You saw that Chen Yubai must have something to do when he called Su Mo, so he patted Su Mo's arm and said, "Then I'll go first."

As the box door closed, only Su Mo and Shen Yubai were left, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Su Mo watched as Shen Yubai picked up the bottle of Romanee-Conti worth a hundred thousand yuan, poured himself a glass, and then looked at her again.

She couldn't help but think of the distance between them and the wall, where they were almost touching each other, and her cheeks flushed again.

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Shen?" she asked with all her courage.

Chen Yubai shook the dark red wine in the glass, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, looking at her with a smile: "It would be a pity not to drink this wine."

He pushed another clean cup in front of Su Mo and poured her half a cup.

"Drink something?"

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the wine glass.

My nerves were tense just now, and now that I've relaxed, I really need some alcohol to calm my racing heartbeat.

"Thank you for what happened just now." Su Mo took a sip of wine and said in a low voice.

If he hadn't appeared in time, Sang Wan might have been discovered eavesdropping by Wang Sheng.

Chen Yubai looked at her rosy little face and her embarrassed expression, and inexplicably wanted to tease her.

"It's just a small favor." Chen Yubai leaned back on the sofa, his posture lazy. "Shouldn't you apologize to me instead of thanking me?"

Su Mo's face turned red after he changed the subject.

I really did misunderstand him at the beginning, and I even ran into his office and pointed at his nose and scolded him.

Su Mo picked up the wine glass, feeling a little nervous. "Um...Mr. Shen, I was impulsive before. I apologize to you."

Chen Yubai chuckled and took a sip of wine, "Taking someone else's wine and apologizing, isn't that a bit too insincere, Miss Su?"

Su Mo frowned, it seemed that this person called her just to embarrass her.

"What sincerity do you want, Mr. Shen?" Su Mo's voice rose two decibels. "Sang Wan paid for the wine, but you, the one who earns money, are drinking it here and are even complaining."

As she spoke, she took the unopened bottle of wine, and even the bottle that was only one-fifth of the wine left.

"The Imperial Court can store wine, but we can't let some people make money and cheat people out of the wine."

Chen Yubai looked at her angry expression, pursed his lips and chuckled softly, looking wild and uninhibited.

"Since you want to apologize, go back to work tomorrow."

Su Mo was stunned. She didn't expect him to suddenly ask her to return to the company.

Seeing that she didn’t react, Shen Yubai added, “Working for the company is the greatest sincerity.”

Su Mo reacted, "It would be better if you just said that being a slave is the best reward. It's straightforward and everyone will understand."

Shen Yubai nodded, "Just understand, don't be late tomorrow."

Su Mo held the wine bottle and looked at him seriously: "Boss Shen, I appreciate your kindness, but it's impossible for me to go back to Shen's."

Chen Yubai narrowed his eyes and looked at her, a hint of barely perceptible interest flashing in his peach blossom eyes.

The little girl is quite strong-willed.

…

Jingyuan.

"Wanwan, open the door."

Qi Qi sent the person back and didn't leave.

It was obvious that she was in a bad mood the moment she got in the car. After returning home, Sang Wan went straight into the bedroom.

Lu Tingzhou stood at the door and faintly heard crying sounds from inside, and he was extremely anxious.

"Wanwan, be obedient and open the door. If there's anything, let's talk it out." Lu Tingzhou lowered his voice with a coaxing tone.

"I don't want to say anything!" Sang Wan said weakly, "Go back."

She no longer had the heart to argue with him. Wang Sheng and Lin Lan's words made her feel like she was reborn.

On the way back, she kept thinking about the relationship between her mother and father.

The two have never quarreled, so they should be considered a loving couple.

But they never seemed to hold hands, and even most of the time, my father slept in the study.

My mother always said that she was mentally weak and my father snored when he slept.

Now she finally understood that theirs was actually a combination marriage.

Sang Wan looked at her mother's photo. After crying, her mind became much clearer and she felt relieved of the things that had been weighing on her heart for many years.

She always thought that her father didn't like her because she was not a boy, but now it seems that she is just a stepping stone for Xu Shiming.

Xu Shiming was originally just a sales manager at Sang's company. The reason she is where she is today is because her mother Sang Jingchu is her grandfather's only child.

When Lu Tingzhou heard that things had quieted down inside, he asked Qi Qi to go back first and stayed behind.

Sang Wan was leaning against the head of the bed, thinking about how to start investigating the company.

She didn't know much about the company's affairs because she was young before, and later Xu Shiming deliberately kept her out of contact and didn't like her going to the company.

But my mother had been checking the company's accounts before she died, so she wouldn't be wrong.

Because on the day the accident happened, my mother said that she was very busy recently and there were some problems with the company's accounts recently.

The reason I approached Lu Tingzhou before was to borrow his power, but now it seems that we should put it on the agenda.

Sang Wan stared for a long time without feeling sleepy. There was no doubt that she had insomnia.

She left the bedroom and went to the living room to look for medicine. She couldn't fall asleep tonight just by drinking.

She needs medicine.

Seeing the man lying on the sofa, Sang Wan stopped.

Sang Wan was stunned for a moment, then walked to the sofa and kicked the man's leg.

"Song Xinran is about to become famous because of her son, how long do you want to deceive me!"

Lu Tingzhou, who was a little confused, was kicked twice and suddenly woke up. He looked at the girl standing in front of him and quickly sat up.

He raised his hand, pulled the person into his arms, and sat him on his lap.

"What nonsense! In my opinion, a mother is not honored because of her son. Only the son is honored because of his mother."

"You're lying. Your dad's right. It doesn't matter how much you play around outside. When you have to start a family, you'll kick me out sooner or later."

The more the girl spoke, the more aggrieved and angry she felt. By the end, she was already crying.

Listening to her accusations, Lu Tingzhou felt both distressed and secretly relieved that she was finally willing to come out and talk to him.

This little jealous person.

He was patient, his voice so gentle it could drip water: "How could I bear to do that? Besides, am I that stupid?"

Sang Wan blinked in confusion, but she didn't say he was stupid.

Lu Tingzhou took out his phone and flipped through the photo album. He clicked on a photo and held it in front of her. "Have you forgotten the content of the agreement? If I get married now, it means I'll give you 500 million for nothing."

Sang Wan understood and smiled with curved lips.

"Wanwan, don't be angry. I told you to ask me directly if you have anything."

Sang Wan rolled her eyes, feeling a little guilty, "Okay, I'll ask you directly next time."

Lu Tingzhou hugged the woman and gently stroked her head, as if he was smoothing the fur of a pet, and finally smoothed out the fur of this messy little cat.

"Can't sleep?"

Sang Wan nodded and took the initiative to explain, "I saw Wang Sheng and Lin Lan tonight. From their conversation, I felt that Wang Sheng deliberately set up the gambling agreement that Xu Shiming signed with him. I don't think Xu Shiming is capable of managing the Sang Group. Lu Tingzhou, I hope you can help me get the Sang Group back."

Lu Tingzhou frowned and was stunned for a moment, "Do you want me to help you acquire Sang Corporation?"

Sang Wan nodded, "The funds will come from your 500 million."

Lu Tingzhou laughed. This little fox was an unconfident fox. She would never get the 500 million in the agreement in her lifetime.

"Sang Corporation was founded by your grandfather himself. Who owns the shares?"

Sang Wan shook her head. "I've never been in charge of the company's affairs."

Lu Tingzhou smiled helplessly, "Little thing, you're so obsessed with my five hundred million, but why are you so indifferent to your own real interests? Aren't you afraid that Lin Lan and her mother will take it all away?"

"I just thought of this today." Sang Wan pouted and nodded, "Lu Tingzhou, am I too stupid?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm smart, that's all. You don't have to worry about Sang's affairs. I'll take care of it. It's yours, and I won't let anyone else take it away."

Sang Wan smiled with her lips curved. Although her future with him was uncertain, she would seize everything she could to find out the situation of the company so that their acquaintance would not be in vain.

Seeing that she was calm, Lu Tingzhou stood up with her in his arms, "Will I sleep with you?"

Sang Wan quickly shook her head, her face turning a light pink. "No, if I sleep with you, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Lu Tingzhou looked at her and pecked her lightly on the lips. "You've been thinking about this for a long time."

She turned around and went to get the medicine in the drawer. "I feel dizzy. I need to take some medicine and sleep quickly."

Seeing that she looked a little haggard, Lu Tingzhou did not stop her and let her sleep first.

Sang Wan took the medicine, and Lu Tingzhou carried her to get water, and then someone hung on him until he was put on the bed.

"Sleep peacefully, I'm outside."

Seeing Sang Wan close her eyes, Lu Tingzhou got up and left.

Lying on the sofa, I couldn't help but curl my lips. It was another night of being tormented by the little fox.

When Sang Wan woke up the next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Lu Tingzhou was no longer there. Qi Qi was waiting for her in the living room, and Liu Ma had already gone to the kitchen to serve breakfast.

"Wanjie, Sister Wei called and said that the film and television studio asked you to go back. Xiao Yan has already removed the bandages, so we can start filming simple scenes."

Sang Wan sighed. Bai Wei was truly a competent agent, fearing that her absence would be too long.

"Qi Qi, I'll go to your house later. I haven't seen Aunt Xue for a long time. I miss her. Remember to ask her to make dumplings for lunch."

Qi Qi nodded and said, "Okay, my mother misses you too. I'll call her now and ask her to get ready."

The car drove steadily towards Qi Qi's house.

Sang Wan looked at the street scenes passing by outside the window, his heart was surging, but his face was calm.

Aunt Xue is my mother's best friend.

If there is anyone in this world who knows the secret of her life, Aunt Xue must be one of them.

She wants to know whether Xu Shiming is her biological father.

If it is true as Wang Sheng said, then who is her biological father?

The car stopped at the bottom of an old residential building.

Qi Qi led Sang Wan upstairs.

As the door opened, a rich fragrance hit me in the face.

Xue Min was wearing an apron and her hands were still stained with some flour. When she saw Sang Wan, her face immediately broke into a smile.

"Wanwan, come in quickly. I'll almost finish making the dumplings. We were in a hurry this time. Next time you want breakfast, tell Aunt Xue and I'll prepare a few more fillings."

Xue Min enthusiastically held Sang Wan's hand, as if she were her own child.

When Sang Wan came into being, Xue Min had not yet married, and whenever she had nothing to do, she would go and take care of the children with Sang Jingchu.

She particularly liked Sang Wan and always said that she would be satisfied if she could give birth to such a beautiful daughter.

Maybe God heard what she said and really let her give birth to a daughter. Although she was not as pretty as Sang Wan, she was well-behaved and considerate.

"Aunt Xue, long time no see. I should have come back to see you with Qi Qi after the last drama was finished, but something kept delaying me." Sang Wan curved her eyebrows and showed a sweet smile.

"You're busy, Aunt Xue knows. Seeing you becoming more and more famous, I'd be happy even if you didn't come."

Steaming dumplings were served on the dining table.

It is white and plump, and looks pleasing to the eye.

Xue Min kept feeding Sang Wan, "Wanwan, eat more. You look so thin, but you can't keep losing weight just for filming."

Sang Wan ate her dumplings in small bites and nodded, "No, I've never been able to gain weight since I was a child."

Qi Qi smiled and said, "Mom, my sister didn't deliberately try to lose weight. She just can't gain weight. I envy her."

Xue Min smiled and said, "When she was little, she was as thin as a monkey. Your Aunt Sang was worried every day about her not gaining weight."

When Sang Jingchu was mentioned, Xue Min's expression darkened and his eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Sang Wan put down her chopsticks and sighed softly: "Actually, I have lost a bit of weight recently, but it's not because of dieting, but because of family matters."

Qi Qi looked up at Sang Wan, somewhat puzzled. Didn't she forbid her to speak of it? Why did she bring it up herself?

"What happened at home?" Xue Min asked nervously.

Sang Wan pouted and hugged Xue Min's arm in a coquettish manner, "Aunt Xue, do you think all fathers in this world love their daughters? Do they think they don't like their children because they are not sons?"
