Deng Jie nodded. "I know. My aunt called my mom this morning. I heard her asking if she had found someone to tutor you."
Deng Jie, a primary school student, felt extremely sympathetic towards Wen Ying.
Sister Sakura is so miserable. She fell ill after the exam, and had to make up for the missed classes after she recovered. She didn’t even have a single day off.
Wen Ying just followed Chen Li back to Chengdu last night, and this morning, Chen Ru called her.
Like a shadow.
Even if Wen Ying is not around, Chen Ru can still remotely control Wen Ying's life.
Wen Ying recalled the shadow of the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination in her previous life, when Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong made three "greeting calls" a day.
Chen Li walked over and slapped her eldest son away. "Your mother did call, but I told you your uncle is looking for a reputable tutor. I'll let you relax for a few days. Now that you're in Chengdu, how can your uncle and I let you suffer any injustice?"
Chen Li didn't mean to interfere with Wen Ying's studies and progress, she just felt sorry for Wen Ying being pushed too hard.
After the high school entrance examination, some parents even take their children out for a trip. In comparison, Wen Ying cannot rest for a single day. Chen Li really feels tired for Wen Ying.
...Exams are not everything. Even if Wen Ying didn't perform well in the high school entrance exam, that doesn't mean we should deny Wen Ying's years of hard work just because of one exam. Doesn't she deserve to have a holiday if she didn't do well in the exam?
Wen Ying looked around, "Where's my uncle? Why can't I see him?"
Chen Li was puzzled:
"What's wrong with you? I always feel like you're watching your uncle too closely, like he's a thief. He drove home by himself last night and really didn't drink a drop of alcohol!"
I seem to have made it too clear.
Chen Li's words made Wen Ying reflect on herself.
She was mainly worried. She didn't know how far her uncle had fallen and whether there was any possibility of redemption. That was why she was so anxious.
Wen Ying warned herself not to let Chen Li become suspicious.
"My uncle said he wanted to take me out to play, but if I don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid my parents will catch me and force me to stay home for tutoring in a few days."
Before Chen Li could say anything, Deng Shangwei came back from outside with several black bags in his hands.
When Wen Ying arrived in Chengdu, Deng Shangwei asked someone to send a few bags of seafood to his home. The person who delivered the seafood just arrived downstairs, and Deng Shangwei went downstairs to get it.
"We have your favorite shrimp, mussels, and abalone."
Deng Shangwei runs a seafood business, so the Deng family has never lacked seafood.
Wen Ying put on a smile and moved closer. "Thank you, uncle! Uncle, I want to discuss something with you. Is that okay with you?"
Deng Shangwei handed the bag to the nanny Yaomei and was dragged out the door by Wen Ying.
"What do you want to discuss with me? You don't want to eat seafood? I know you like KFC. I'll take you and Xiaojie and the others there this afternoon..."
KFC?
Wen Ying felt very upset when she thought of the big face like a full moon in the mirror when she was washing up just now.
Does she deserve to eat KFC?
She only deserves to eat boiled vegetables!
Don’t even think about getting a penny out of her pocket with spicy chicken legs, hamburgers, fried skewers, grilled sausages and fried potatoes!
She would accept it if she always was ugly and fat. She was obviously good-looking in her previous life, and now she has a full moon face. How could Wen Ying tolerate it?
Wen Ying shook her head vigorously, "I don't want to eat KFC, Uncle, I want to work during the summer vacation!"
Deng Shangwei didn't react for a moment, and nodded along with Wen Ying's words: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, summer job...what summer job?"
Deng Shangwei was confused.
It’s only been over a month since he last saw Wen Ying. Has the generation gap between them become so deep?
Why would Wen Ying want to go out to work for no reason?
"You're out of pocket money?"
Deng Shangwei only thought of this reason.
He took out the wallet from his trouser pocket. There were several thousand cash in it. He took out half of it without counting and handed it to Wen Ying.
Wen Ying certainly didn't want money.
I didn’t want to accept it at first, but then I thought about my next plan and it seemed that I really needed financial support.
It feels pretty good to use Deng Shangwei's money to deal with Deng Shangwei.
Wen Ying showed the thick skin she had when she was a lawyer and accepted Deng Shangwei's kindness, saying that what Deng Shangwei gave her was too little - Wen Ying never complained that the pocket money given by Deng Shangwei or Chen Li was too little. On the contrary, every time Deng Shangwei and his wife wanted to spend money on her, Wen Ying repeatedly refused.
But that was 16-year-old Wen Ying.
Now standing in front of Deng Shangwei is the 31-year-old Wen Ying.
Deng Shangwei asked her how much she wanted. Wen Ying took all the cash in Deng Shangwei's wallet. After thinking about it, she left a hundred-dollar bill for Deng Shangwei.
"Uncle, you still have to carry some cash with you, otherwise it will be inconvenient."
Deng Shangwei suddenly laughed out of anger.
Wen Ying's words were so sensible!
"Then I should thank you for leaving me some money for cigarettes."
Deng Shangwei is a businessman. He always keeps at least 5,000 yuan in cash in his wallet. If 5,000 yuan is not enough for social expenses, he has tens of thousands of yuan hidden under the driver's seat of his old Santana.
With a net worth of tens of millions and running a seafood business, he has a lot of daily cash flow, so a few thousand dollars is nothing in Deng Shangwei's eyes.
Of course, if it were Deng Jie and Deng Hao, Deng Shangwei would not have given them several thousand yuan in pocket money.
Deng Shangwei's money was also hard-earned. When he first started his business, he would purchase goods in the middle of the night by himself, and he would have to stay in the shop the next day to help people fillet and kill fish. His hands had to be soaked in cold water all winter, and his whole body was covered with the fishy smell that could not be washed off. He worked hard, and Chen Li didn't have it easy either. When she was pregnant with Deng Jie, she had to sell fish with him even though she was eight or nine months pregnant. Deng Jie was almost born on a fish stall... Thinking of the hard work he had done in the past, Deng Shangwei secretly vowed not to raise his two sons to be prodigals.
Deng Shangwei has high expectations for his son and is willing to spend money on Wen Ying. Wen Ying has always been very sensible. Deng Shangwei believes that there must be a reason why she needs so much pocket money and she would never spend it indiscriminately.
He treats Wen Ying as his own daughter. Isn't it true that daughters should be pampered?
Deng Shangwei didn't even ask Wen Ying what she was going to do with the several thousand yuan. He naively thought he had already dispelled Wen Ying's idea of working during the summer vacation. Unexpectedly, after Wen Ying pocketed the money, she asked him as a matter of course:
"Uncle, when do you think it would be appropriate for me to start working?"
Deng Shangwei had a headache and tried to persuade Wen Ying in a tactful way, saying that she was too young and there was no place that would hire her if she wanted to work.
"Do you want to wash dishes in a restaurant or deliver newspapers? These jobs are tiring and unskilled. You won't be able to improve your abilities and it will be a waste of time!"
Wen Ying thought about it seriously for a while and agreed with Deng Shangwei: "Uncle, I think you are absolutely right. Not only am I young, I don't have a high level of education. The youngest sister can be a nanny by being diligent, but I am not even as good as the youngest sister..."
"Don't say that. My younger sister has her own strengths, and you have yours too. How can you belittle yourself?"
Deng Shangwei quickly stroked her hair and pointed out Wen Ying's strengths of being diligent and patient. Wen Ying immediately smiled: "Really? So I'm so outstanding in your eyes, uncle? Then I'll go to your company to work during the summer vacation!"
