Zheng Xiuxiu lowered her head and said nothing. It seemed that she was already used to Zheng Weijie's behavior.

A red slap mark appeared on the girl's fair and tender face, adding a touch of bright red to her originally pure face, giving it an extremely abrupt beauty.

"Xiu Xiu," Zheng Weijie said, looking at his daughter and softening his tone, "Dad was just anxious for a moment. President Wen holds an unparalleled position in the business world. If he were willing to favor us, our company would soar to new heights. Why would Dad bother attending those drinking parties and begging those old foxes?"

Seeing Zheng Xiuxiu still silent, Zheng Weijie's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but he had something to ask for, so he remained patient and asked casually, "Your class...that Wen Hangxing, are you familiar with him?"

Zheng Xiuxiu shook her head and whispered, "He's rarely in the classroom, and he's always been a loner. Apart from being close friends with Jiang Sui and Yan Junqi from Class 1, the others aren't very familiar with them."

Zheng Weijie's eyes flashed, and his gaze swept over his daughter's quiet, fair face. His tone was seductive, "Xiu Xiu, do Daddy a favor. You should try hard to get close to Wen Hangxing at school recently. If that doesn't work, get close to Jiang Sui or Yan Junqi. You must get to know them well. Do you understand?"

Zheng Xiuxiu reacted this time. She looked up suddenly and met her father's calculating and cold eyes. Her heart seemed to be swept by a cold wind, so cold that she could hardly stand.

Zheng Xiuxiu yelled embarrassedly: "Dad!"

Zheng Weijie obviously knew his daughter very well. He said calmly, "After you finish this matter, I will let you meet your mother."

The words Zheng Xiuxiu wanted to say got stuck in her throat. After a while, she replied, "Okay, keep your word."

Zheng Weijie smiled triumphantly. He patted his daughter's shoulder, his father's gentleness resonating. "Xiu Xiu, this is all for your own good. If you can hook up with Wen Hangxing, not only will our company be able to reach new heights, but no one in the industry will dare to mess with it. You, too, will be able to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Zheng Xiuxiu's tone was inexplicable, "Do you really think that with my status, I can marry into the Wen family? Wen Hangxing has seen all kinds of people with his status, how could he possibly like me?"

Zheng Weijie's expression remained unchanged. "It's normal for a man to have a lot of mistresses outside. Xiuxiu, you're too naive. What kind of love are you talking about with him? It's about exchanging benefits. Besides, it's not like you don't have any chance at all. I heard that the current mistress of the Wen family doesn't come from a famous family, but even a man like that still beat out a bunch of other women to get into the Wen family."

When he said this, the contempt in his tone could not be concealed at all, as if the woman mentioned here was just a tool for climbing power, and he even described Lin Yitong as a gold digger who used her body and means to get to the top.

You say Zheng Weijie is stupid, he actually thought of using his daughter to win over the Wen family's prince. If you say he is not stupid, anyone with a discerning eye can see his attitude towards Lin Yitang from Wen Zeli's words just now, but Zheng Weijie still saw her clearly and did not hide his contempt in the corridor.

Zheng Xiuxiu stood blankly in the corridor as if she had been sentenced to death. At this moment, she could only be thankful that most of the classmates around her had left, and no one else in the corridor heard her father's plan, no, it was a humiliation to her.

Zheng Weijie's phone rang with an incoming call notification tone. He glanced at the note and quickly picked up the phone. His tone was gentle, different from the one he used when talking to Zheng Xiuxiu. "Beibei, Daddy will be back soon."

A sweet voice rang out from the other side, "Dad, I want to eat the little cakes from the alley in the south of the city. Bring me some when you come back. Hurry up!"

Zheng Weijie replied lovingly, "Okay, okay, Daddy will go buy it for my precious little princess right now. Don't worry, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Weijie didn't even have time to retract the smile on his face before he said to Zheng Xiuxiu, "I'm going to buy food for your sister, so I'll be leaving first. You should think carefully about how to approach those people."

Zheng Xiuxiu looked at her father's departing back with lifeless eyes, and she suddenly felt like crying. She didn't expect that the only time she saw her father showing an extremely gentle look to her in all these years was because he wanted her to please him with her beauty. And it was so easy for her sister, who was born to the same father and mother as her, to receive such tenderness.

Zheng Xiuxiu stood there awkwardly, as if she had been forcibly stripped of her clothes, punished by being naked. She scoffed at herself, wondering what the difference was between her and those prostitutes. But what could she do? She desperately wanted to see her mother.

For the sake of her mother, Zheng Xiuxiu's eyes became determined. She must work hard to complete the task given to her by Zheng Weijie. Time waits for no one.

Wen Hangxing, it was said that he was always cruel, terrifying, cold and ruthless. Her chance of getting close to him was extremely slim, but no matter how dangerous it was, she had to give it a try.

Besides, after Wen Zeli and Wen Hangxing had dealt with Zheng Weijie, a tactless and self-righteous annoying guy, they planned to go find Lin Yitong.

The two of them looked at each other in silence along the way. This was the first time the father and son were alone together, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. I don't know what Wen Zeli was thinking, but Wen Hangxing did feel a little uncomfortable.

I don’t know if it’s because he has been with Ms. Lin for too long, but Wen Hangxing seems to have developed silent awkwardness syndrome. He feels uncomfortable whenever the conversation becomes awkward. Of course, this symptom is only limited to when he is facing his family.

He hesitated for a moment and found a way to start, "Why don't you go talk to other parents today? Why are you sitting in my seat alone?"

Wen Zeli paused for a moment and replied casually, "I prefer quietness."

Wen Hangxing: You're talking nonsense! Don't think I can't hear your perfunctory remarks.

He said leisurely, "If Ms. Lin asks me about my situation today, I will have to say that your inaction has caused me so much hurt that I am almost losing interest in studying."

Wen Zeli sneered, turned around and looked at him calmly, "How dare you complain about me? Look at your mediocre grades. I could have scored higher than you on these questions in elementary school. What can I talk to those parents about? My experience of getting a 15-point score on a math test?"

A fatal blow.

Wen Hangxing's face flushed instantly, "You actually peeked at my test paper!"

Wen Zeli looked at him, not wanting to admit that he was from his family at all. "Your class teacher came to talk to me. He specifically expressed his hope that I would supervise you well and help you improve your grades."

"Oh oh." Wen Hangxing tried to save face, "It was just an accident."

"I hope so. Do you want her to suffer the same predicament as me next time when she comes to attend your parent-teacher meeting?" Wen Zeli made two consecutive critical strikes.

Comrade Wen Hangxing expressed that he felt deeply hurt, but his father did remind him that he should improve his grades and not embarrass Ms. Lin!
