Back in his room, He Lingchuan couldn't fall asleep either.
One hundred million is no small sum for him. He needs to repay the money Gu Chengze gave him as soon as possible. Only in this way can he stay in Gu Chengze's laboratory with peace of mind.
He Lingchuan paced back and forth in the room, thinking it over and over, but he still felt that developing projects for other companies was the most profitable.
Although it would take up his study time, he believed that Professor Zhao would understand.
He Lingchuan didn't sleep all night, constantly contacting companies willing to take over his business.
After looking at several places, He Lingchuan decided to discuss leaving the school with Professor Zhao.
The next day, He Lingchuan got up early to send the children to school.
The moment Nan Chen and Bei Chen saw him, their little faces immediately hardened.
He Lingchuan knew they were angry about yesterday's events, so he gently pinched their cheeks to comfort them: "Are you still angry with Dad?"
Why didn't you come to pick us up yesterday?
"That's right, we've been waiting for you for so long, but you haven't come."
Nan Chen and Bei Chen each spoke a sentence, as if they had agreed beforehand, and poured out all the grievances in their hearts.
He Lingchuan looked at them with some guilt: "Dad had something come up last night, I'm sorry."
Nan Chen and Bei Chen pouted, put their hands on their hips, and turned their heads away from him like Shen Yanxi. He Lingchuan was both amused and exasperated. He glanced at the time and said directly, "You're going to be late for school. If you don't want Dad to take you, then I'll..."
"Yes, who said we can't?"
"Exactly, we didn't say we didn't want Dad to take us."
The two children quickly grabbed He Lingchuan's hands to prevent him from leaving.
Zhou Mingyan stood aside watching the family of three enjoying themselves so happily, and he was almost driven mad with anger.
He walked up to the two children and deliberately tried to sow discord between He Lingchuan and them: "Nanchen and Beichen, why don't you let your uncle take you? What if your father gets a phone call or something comes up and leaves you behind? How will you get to school then?"
Zhou Mingyan deliberately brought up the fact that He Lingchuan hadn't picked them up yesterday. The two children looked a little disappointed. They looked up at He Lingchuan cautiously and asked, "Dad, will you abandon us like Uncle Zhou said?"
"How could that be?"
He Lingchuan gently pinched the bridge of the two children's noses: "Dad promised to take you, when have I ever abandoned you halfway?"
Nan Chen and Bei Chen seemed to be deep in thought. Although they were worried, they still hoped that He Lingchuan would come to see them off.
They looked at Zhou Mingyan very politely: "Uncle Zhou, please don't be a coward to us."
Bei Chen clasped her two little hands together and looked at Zhou Mingyan with a guilty look in her eyes: "Today, we want Dad to take us to school."
Zhou Mingyan looked at them somewhat awkwardly. He smiled, patted the two children on the shoulder, and maintained his composure: "If you don't want your dad to take you anymore, just call your uncle anytime."
The two children agreed, so He Lingchuan simply picked them up and turned to leave.
Before leaving, He Lingchuan looked at Zhou Mingyan with a cold face: "You'd better put away your tricks and don't try anything with my child."
Just as He Lingchuan finished speaking, he encountered Shen Yanxi, who was coming out of the room.
She frowned, feeling indignant on Zhou Mingyan's behalf: "He Lingchuan, watch your words. While you were away, Mingyan was the one who took care of the child for you. You're not grateful, fine, but why are you talking to him like that?"
Upon hearing Shen Yanxi's words, Zhou Mingyan gently patted her shoulder, acting as a peacemaker.
He even tried to persuade Shen Yanxi: "Xixi, Mr. He is also thinking about the child. It's normal that he sees me as a rival in love and thinks I will take away his child. You don't need to stand up for me. I don't want to ruin the relationship between you and Mr. He."
"You've already ruined it, why are you saying all this now?"
He Lingchuan looked at Zhou Mingyan with impatience. This man really knows how to pretend. He can make Shen Yanxi's heart soften every time.
Especially when the two of them are facing off, even if Shen Yanxi is on his side at first, Zhou Mingyan is able to regain Shen Yanxi's attention.
He Lingchuan had to admire him; as a man, he was quite capable of being both flexible and resilient.
He Lingchuan turned and left with the two children in his arms, not forgetting to sarcastically remark before leaving: "Shen Yanxi, if you had just wanted Zhou Mingyan, you would have already started to act coquettishly and feign grievances. The two of you would never have separated in the first place."
He Lingchuan's words struck a nerve with Shen Yanxi. Her face turned pale, and she screamed and chased after him, but was stopped by the butler: "Miss, stop making a scene, we should go to the company."
"Even you're helping him?"
Shen Yanxi frowned. When did He Lingchuan manage to bribe even these people?
The butler lowered his head awkwardly, thinking of something to say. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shen Yanxi's cold voice: "You don't need to say anything. Starting tomorrow, you will go back to my mother's place."
"Miss Shen, Mr. He is actually a good person. You will definitely regret it later."
In contrast, He Lingchuan was the one who truly cared for Shen Yanxi wholeheartedly.
Based on his years of experience, Zhou Mingyan was definitely up to no good.
The housekeeper tried to persuade Shen Yanxi, but she seemed to be under a curse and wouldn't listen to anyone.
"Don't tell me these things. Since you like He Lingchuan so much, then go find him. Don't get in my way here."
Shen Yanxi looked at the housekeeper with displeasure. Zhou Mingyan saw this scene and was secretly pleased, but he pretended to persuade Shen Yanxi: "Xixi, the housekeeper has been with you for so long. How hurtful it is for you to say such things. I know why the housekeeper does this. He just doesn't like me."
Zhou Mingyan bit his lower lip, looking pitiful: "Butler, if you don't want me to stay here, I'll leave. Please don't have a conflict with Xixi; you've watched him grow up."
As Zhou Mingyan was saying this, he was about to go back to his room to pack his things when Shen Yanxi quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Why are you leaving? If anyone should leave, it should be him and He Lingchuan."
With that, Shen Yanxi turned to look at the butler: "You can leave now, I don't need you here."
"Miss……"
The butler looked surprised: "You're going to kick me out for this person?"
When He Lingchuan was around, the servants were all of one mind. He Lingchuan was able to get along well with everyone, which saved Shen Yanxi a lot of trouble.
Zhou Mingyan has only been here for a short time, and three people have already resigned. Now Shen Yanxi actually wants to kick him out for this man?
The butler looked disheartened: "Miss, please take good care of yourself from now on."
The butler moved his lips as if to say something, but gave up the moment he saw Zhou Mingyan: "I'm leaving."
