Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 618: My biological mother is the heroine of the stepmother novel (8)
Qi Daiyuan followed Wu Shichu home. Lin Jingyan and Wu Chengyue were not at home. Only Aunt Zhou was there. When Aunt Zhou heard that Qi Daiyuan was a good friend who had helped Wu Shichu many times, she enthusiastically prepared a lot of food for Qi Daiyuan.
Wu Shichu winked at Qi Daiyuan with amusement and said, "Aunt Zhou is happiest when she sees that people like the food she makes."
Qi Daiyuan looked at her lively and lovely appearance and couldn't help but smile as well. He asked her, "What about you? You smile so brightly, are you happy too?"
"Of course. There are delicious food, fun things, and a good brother by my side. How can I not be happy?" Wu Shichu said with a smile, shaking his feet gently. He did not forget to take a piece of dessert in his hand and nibbled it slowly, like a little hamster.
"There's something on the corner of your mouth." Qi Daiyuan looked at the snack crumbs on her rosy little mouth, reached out to help her wipe it off, then wiped his fingers with the tissue on the table. The little girl's face was soft and felt great. Qi Daiyuan felt like he wanted to touch it more, but finally resisted the urge.
"Thank you, brother." Wu Shichu didn't care and thanked him with a smile.
After the two of them ate some food made by Aunt Zhou, Qi Daiyuan should have gone home, but Lin Jingyan and Wu Chengyue came back at that time.
"Hey, Chuchu, your classmates are here to send you home again?" Lin Jingyan raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile as she saw Qi Daiyuan.
Wu Chengyue had not paid much attention to his daughter's classmates, but after hearing what she said, he could not help but pay more attention to them. Seeing that Qi Daiyuan was so handsome at such a young age, and his expression was very comfortable and calm, he could tell that this kind of appearance could only be raised by a family of status, so he asked Qi Daiyuan: "My little classmate, are you our Xiaochu's classmate? Do you often send her home? Then uncle really has to thank you. I wonder where your home is? Who are your parents? If I have time, I would like to come to your house to thank you in person..."
Although Wu Chengyue was an irresponsible husband and father, he was very capable in doing business and building relationships. Therefore, he was very keenly aware that his daughter's little classmate had an extraordinary family background. If he could get closer to him, there would definitely be many benefits. So he started to get close to even a little kid.
Qi Daiyuan glanced at Wu Shichu and saw that she shook her head, so he replied: "Uncle, no need to thank me. Shichu and I are good friends. We just went home together after school. It doesn't count as sending her back specially."
"Same, same." Wu Chengyue was very thick-skinned and continued cheerfully, "It's rare for my daughter to have a good friend. As a father, I'm usually busy with work and don't have time to spend more time with her. Now that I know you are her good friend, of course I can't pretend I don't know. Why don't you go home and ask your parents when you are free? I want to treat your family to a simple meal."
When Wu Chengyue heard that Wu Shichu didn't expect that he would actually use his name to get close to Qi Daiyuan's parents, he immediately felt disgusted and said to Wu Chengyue with a stern face: "Dad, don't come to us kids with your adult matters. If you want to meet Qi Daiyuan's parents, go meet them yourself, don't use me as an excuse."
When Wu Chengyue heard this, he immediately said in annoyance: "What are you thinking about? Dad just wants to meet your good friend's parents, and it's not for you. Why do you think your dad is so vulgar and mercenary?!"
Then he coaxed Qi Daiyuan, "Little classmate, don't listen to Wu Shichu's nonsense. Uncle really wants to thank you for helping Xiaochu."
Wu Shichu didn't want to listen to him showing off his shamelessness. He pulled Qi Daiyuan out the door, not forgetting to take his schoolbag. After seeing him out, Wu Shichu said to him, "You can pretend that you didn't hear what my father said. He and I don't have a good relationship. You don't have to pay attention to him. Well, it's getting late now. You should go home early to save your aunt from worrying."
Qi Daiyuan took his schoolbag, patted Wu Shichu's head, and said like a little adult: "I won't take uncle's words to heart. Don't argue with your father too directly. He is an adult after all. You will suffer if you go against him."
Qi Daiyuan was extremely intelligent and had such a family background that all kinds of guests often came to his house. He had long witnessed the ugly behaviors of adults flattering and fawning on others, and Wu Chengyue's performance was not outstanding.
"It's okay. I won't be stupid enough to go against him. Don't worry." Wu Shichu said with a smile and waved at him. "Brother, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Qi Daiyuan said these words to her before walking towards home.
When Wu Shichu returned to the living room, he heard Wu Chengyue complaining to Lin Jingyan: "I really raised Wu Shichu in vain. I provided her with good food and drink, but she just wanted to sabotage me. I really spoiled her!"
Lin Jingyan comforted him sympathetically: "Xiaochu is probably immature and doesn't know the importance of making connections for you. It will be fine when she grows up a little bit."
"She is already seven or eight years old and still doesn't understand. When will she grow up? I think she is just like her arrogant mother. She has no ability at all, but she can't stand me working so hard to deal with people..." Wu Chengyue said angrily.
Lin Jingyan continued to add fuel to the fire: "Isn't it normal for a daughter to look like her mother? This is also your fault for not letting Xiaochu inherit your talent for being versatile, right?"
Wu Chengyue saw her hands gently caressing his chest, and heard her tender words of comfort, and his temper suddenly changed. He hugged Lin Jingyan and said with a grin, "Since that stinky girl didn't inherit my good talent, why don't you give me a son who can inherit my ability?"
"Oh, Brother Chengyue, you are so annoying! This is the living room, it would be bad if someone saw us..." Lin Jingyan's voice sounded, half-rejecting and half-accepting.
Wu Chengyue immediately said obscenely: "Then let's go back to the room, you can't escape..."
Wu Shichu stood outside the door for a while with an expressionless face. Only after he heard the two people inside return to the room did he go in.
While Wu Chengyue was busy having a son, Chen Xue was not idle either. She had dated several men, but none of them worked out. Either others disliked her because she was divorced and had children, or she disliked others because they were too old, ugly, or had too many family members. Seeing that she hadn't found anyone to be interested in for a long time, Chen's mother was getting anxious and went to ask other people to help introduce her to a suitable partner.
"Haha, she's divorced and has children, but she still wants to find an unmarried young man with good looks and a good job. Why doesn't she do that?" Chen Xue's eldest sister-in-law said to her second sister-in-law in a sarcastic tone while feeding chickens in the yard.
"Tsk tsk, you still think you're a virgin! If I get divorced, I won't be able to face anyone. How can I have the face to look at one man after another? It's so shameful!" The second sister-in-law echoed the eldest sister-in-law with contempt.
