Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (29)

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

Wen Wan begged Gu Ci to come with her to pick up the child.

Many parents had gathered at the kindergarten entrance, and security guards were also present.

"Do you think they won't get bullied on their first day of school?"

Gu Ci comforted her, "Don't worry, Xuanxuan is very smart and will protect his sister."

After class, countless children were led to the door by their respective teachers. Wen Wan looked around and saw that they were all little kids.

Where is her child?

I can't see it!

After searching around, Wen Wan finally spotted her two darlings with their teacher. She waved and said, "Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan, Mommy's here."

Little Jiaojiao ran over, with Gu Xuan following behind. Wen Wan hugged Little Jiaojiao and asked, "How were you? Did you get bullied at kindergarten?"

"No, Mom, you're not lying to me, kindergarten is so much fun!"

Then, pulling her mother's hand, she pointed to a child being led by a parent and said, "Guoguo is already my best friend."

Guoguo walked over and said, "Hello, pretty auntie, hello, uncle."

"I was praised by the teacher three times today. A classmate cried, and I was the one who comforted her."

"Jiaojiao is so great!"

"My older brother is amazing too. He's already the oldest in kindergarten."

Wen Wan: Things seem to be getting a little off.

"A male classmate pulled a female classmate's hair and was severely punished by his older brother."

"How were they disciplined?" Wen Wan asked with some concern. Could they have gotten into a fight on the very first day?

Guoguo, who was standing nearby, said, "Brother Xuanxuan and that annoying Dapeng had a competition to see who knew more numbers. Dapeng could only count to ten, but Brother Xuanxuan could already count to two hundred, so Dapeng cried."

Wen Yan: "..."

It turns out it was a case of intellectual superiority.

That's fine then, after all, Xiao Xuanxuan is already self-studying second grade.

"Xuanxuan is great."

Wen Wan couldn't help but kiss Gu Xuan after hugging him. Gu Xuan blushed and said, "I told you not to kiss me. I'm a man."

"Alright, alright, little man, go home now."

Along the way, Xiao Jiaojiao chattered like a little sparrow, talking about how fun kindergarten was. Xiao Xuanxuan stayed by his sister's side, while Wen Wan held Gu Ci's hand.

The gossip surrounding Liu's Building Materials has become a hot topic online.

After all, it's rare to see a father and son sleeping with the same woman, especially since one of them is a popular actress known as the "nation's first love" by fans, who practically dominated the entertainment news, even overshadowing the trending topic of a certain movie star's marriage.

The stock price of Liu's Building Materials also plummeted. Mr. Liu's wife divorced him, and her family withdrew their investment from Liu's Building Materials, dealing a fatal blow to the company.

Young Master Liu is unwilling to divorce and is currently in the process of divorcing his wife.

Wen Wan felt like a weasel in a melon patch, frantically eating melons while the two little ones went to kindergarten.

In the end, Gu's Group acquired Liu's Building Materials when the latter was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Mr. Liu and his son were both kicked out of Liu's Building Materials.

"Scumbags never have a good ending."

System: [Host, you're busy eating melon seeds, shouldn't you think about our mission?]

After eating melons for several days in a row, Wen Wan felt a little out of her mind.

"Where are we now?"

The female lead happens to be hired by Gu's company and recognizes Gu Ci as the man from before. She is greatly shocked and tries to avoid him several times, but this only attracts Gu Ci's attention.

Wen Wan frowned. "Didn't you say the story had a bad ending? How do you know about the later plot?"

[Host, after each book is created by an author, a world belonging to that book is formed. The world's consciousness will fill in the plot, but just like the outline of a story, it cannot be precise to the details. In order to prevent deviations, you need to do your best to maintain the subsequent plot and satisfy the readers.]

"Then how do I know which one is the female lead?"

There will be a notification when the female lead appears.

"Then what do I need to do?"

[On the surface, the character goes to the company to find the female lead and makes things difficult for her, but in reality, she secretly pushes their relationship forward. For example, she could lock the female lead in the equipment room one minute, and then have someone lead the male lead to rescue her the next.]

Wen Yan: "..."

It's just like those typical online novel tropes!

Upon arriving at the company, Wen Wan went to the Human Resources Department and directly asked General Manager Liu.

"Mr. Liu! We've had a lot of new colleagues at the company recently. Could you give me their information?"

“Madam, this is against company rules and we need to consult with President Gu.” President Liu initially refused.

Wen Wan: "Who am I?"

"I am Aci's wife, do I need to ask for permission?"

"No need, no need, I'll go get it for Madam right away." Soon, President Liu handed the new employee's information to Wen Wan.

Wen Wan began to examine them one by one. "Which one do you think is the female lead? Look at this one, she's twenty-five years old, her name is Xiao Mingyue, she's beautiful, and she just came back from abroad. Doesn't she look like the female lead?"

"And then there's Chen Zihan, whose name sounds like a cute and innocent heroine. She's 24 years old, but her resume doesn't seem to mention any overseas experience. However, she has a soft and cute appearance, and I think she looks a bit like one."

"This Ruan Qiqi, with her name and appearance, isn't she the epitome of an energetic young girl? Twenty-one, it shouldn't be an age discrepancy."

"this……"

system:【……】

[Host, I need to meet the female lead to know if she is indeed the female lead.]

Wen Wan memorized the information of the dozen or so new female colleagues, and then gathered them together under the pretext of buying milk tea.

"This is Mr. Gu's wife. She bought this milk tea for you."

"Thank you, Madam."

"No need to thank me. Once you join the Gu family, treat it as your home and work hard. The Gu family will not treat you unfairly."

Then his gaze swept over the dozen or so girls.

"Have you found her? Who is the female lead?"

System: [None.]

"Is your perception program inaccurate?"

System: [Compared to yours—]

"My period has always been irregular, so don't bother saying anything more, you just can't do it."

system:【……】

Wen Wan then toured the entire Gu Corporation under the guise of visiting and comforting employees, but still couldn't find the female lead that the system had mentioned.

Wen Wan returned to Gu Ci's office; Gu Ci had gone to a meeting.

Wen Wan took off her shoes and then saw that her heels were blistered. "Did you do this on purpose?"

【no. 】

"You are it."

While arguing with the system, Wen Wan dozed off on the sofa.

When Gu Ci returned from the meeting, Assistant Chen followed behind him. Seeing his wife lying on the sofa, Assistant Chen said, "Madam is asleep on the sofa. It's quite chilly. Should I wake her up?"

"Need not."

Gu Ci walked towards the sofa and picked up Wen Wan.

So light.

You eat quite a lot every day! Where did all that weight go?

Gu Ci was familiar with every inch of this office, so even though he couldn't see clearly, he carried Wen Wan into the lounge with practiced ease and then placed her on the bed.

"Ouch~ It hurts~"

Hearing the crying, Gu Ci reached out and gently touched Wen Wan's face, and sure enough, he felt the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Where does it hurt?"

My feet hurt!

Gu Ci couldn't see, so he called his assistant Chen over, "Check on her foot."

Assistant Chen: "!!!"

Look at the lady's feet?

Can he save his leg?
