He walked to the sofa and sat down. He didn’t see her. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the two floors. She should be in the room.
Butler Lin prepared a cup of West Lake Longjing tea. Seeing this, Li Xiyu took it and put it in front of Lingweihao. A fragrance of tea pervaded the air.
Sitting next to him, Li Xiyu looked at him gently and said, “you can ask others to go to those drinking dinner parties. You hired them with a high salary just to let them work for you, didn’t you?”
Lingweihao picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip and said, “although you say so, sometimes you still need to go by yourself, especially for important business. This is the way of shopping. You have no choice.”
“If you can’t, then don’t go! For men, career is important, but family is also important.” Li Xiyu smiled.
It was undeniable that he agreed with what Li Xiyu said. He had to spare some time to be with his daughter.
“Where is Xinyan?” He changed the topic.
“He’s in his room,” replied Xi Yu
“Dinner should be ready now. Go and ask her to come downstairs for dinner!” Said Lingweihao.
Xi Yu was stunned for a while, but soon calmed down. She smiled, stood up and went upstairs to call for Xinyan.
When she went upstairs, she stole a glance at Ling Weihao. The smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes were full of anger. Every time she was asked to call [欣妍]. Didn’t he know that she was pregnant now? What she needed more was his care and love.
He didn’t. He never cared about her. Instead, his attitude was even colder than before.
Joyce went downstairs and took a look at Ling Weihao. She didn’t go to the hall, but went straight to the dining room.
She always treated him like this, which made him feel bad. He didn’t know what to do and how to change her attitude towards him.
During the meal, Ling Weihao looked up at her and asked, “is your exam coming?”
He thought of Lingxue’s nervousness in her study, so she would also be preparing for the end of the semester. After that, the summer vacation would come soon.
“There is still a month left.” Without looking at him, she answered while eating.
“Are you used to the new environment?” It occurred to Lingweihao that Xinyan didn’t enter the M city foreign language school until last month. Because of the two of their parents, she had been suspended several times a semester.
“I have a strong adaptability. I will adapt to the new environment in a few days.” Xinyan still didn’t look at him.
When she was a child, she lived in Las Vegas in the United States. For one or two years, she studied there. Then she came back to China to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. Besides, this was a foreign language school. She was much better at English than other students.
Lingweihao looked at her and didn’t ask any more. He found that she didn’t want to talk to him.
“Xinyan, you must be the best student!” Li Xiyu cut in.
“What do you think?” She asked.
“Of course the best. My daughter is so smart.” Li Xiyu smiled.
Raising her head to look at the fake smile on her face, she said, “I’m smart, but I won’t be like someone who thinks I’m smart.”
Hearing this, the smile on Li Xiyu’s face froze. She glanced at Ling Weihao. He continued to eat as if nothing had happened. She was angry, but she didn’t dare to lose her temper.
Taking a glance at the two, she didn’t like to eat with them at all. She put down her chopsticks and said, “I’m full!” Then she left her seat, turned around and walked out of the dining room.
“Lingweihao, your daughter is getting more and more presumptuous, and every word she said seems to be against me…” after Sharon left, Li Xiyu couldn’t help but complain to Ling.
“Child’s words are all right. Why should you take them seriously?” His daughter always treated people she didn’t like this way.
“You must be on your daughter’s side and put me, the poor woman, aside. Do you know that I am pregnant now? Shouldn’t you pay attention to me?” Li Xiyu covered her chest and frowned.
“It’s you who are pregnant. You should pay more attention to your health. Don’t lower yourself to the same level as a child.” Lingweihao said while eating.
Wesley was stunned. Seeing that he had been speaking for her, she was angry. She put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked out of the dining room angrily.
Lingweihao looked as usual and said nothing when he saw Xi Yu walking out.
He didn’t know why, but since she was pregnant, he had a desire to escape. As long as he calmed down, he thought of more people, such as Xinyan and Yang Shuting.
“Have you found anything?” Two days later, Justin asked Rongyufeng.
Rongyufeng said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on her these two days. She goes to work and off duty with others, and occasionally goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I don’t see whom she has contact with at all.”
Lingweihao frowned and said, “keep watching.”
It was only two days. As long as they continued to keep an eye on him, they would naturally find out who the strange man was.
He would like to see who was so close to her.
Rongyufeng nodded, turned around and walked out of the office.
One day, he was going to meet a customer from Thailand. When he left, he met Hanson. She didn’t wear a female business suit now, but wore maternity clothes. Her belly was slightly bulging, but it was not obvious.
Herman also saw him. He didn’t greet him, but turned to another direction.
Lingweihao didn’t mean to blame Hanson. The reason why she was so cold to him was that he treated Yang Shuting ruthlessly and took her away from Yang Shuting.
He didn’t care what others thought. Sometimes, he firmly believed that it was Yang Shuting’s stubborn character that harmed herself and couldn’t blame others.
Yang Shuting finally asked for half a month’s leave. She found an excuse and said that her mother was seriously ill and she needed to go back to take care of her. Without saying anything, Hunter approved his leave for half a month.
She wanted to hire him for a month, but it would make it difficult for him. She couldn’t take advantage of it to get what she wanted just because he attached great importance to her, which would cause employee dissatisfaction.
“Are you free tomorrow?” She calledTangbin as soon as she left the company.
“I’m out of town now. I’ll be back in two days.” SaidTangbin.
“It doesn’t matter!” She could wait for two days, but she still wanted to solve it as soon as possible, in case that the secret would be exposed.
“I’ll do it as soon as possible!”
“Okay!”
After hanging up the phone, Yang Shuting stood still and looked at the bustling street. Suddenly, she felt a heavy stone in her heart, which made her out of breath, uncomfortable, helpless and even helpless.
Thinking of her daughter, Yang Shuting picked up her phone and dialed Lingweihao’s number. When the line was connected, she said directly, “I want to see my daughter!”
“Is this how you beg me?” Lingweihao happened to be in his office. When he received her call, he was displeased and asked her coldly.
She was stunned, knowing that he wouldn’t let her see her daughter so easily. She said, “I won’t ask for help.” In particular, she couldn’t beg this man.
She was just so stubborn. Of course, he didn’t like her like this. His face was gloomy. He said, “sleep with me for one night, and I’ll let you see your daughter.”
He didn’t know why he said that. He was surprised, but soon his face returned to gloom. Now that she had said it, she would never take it back.
“You shameless bastard!” She cursed angrily.
“You used to give your body to me for money. Now you can do it for your daughter.” He said with an evil smile.
He uncovered the shadow of her past. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, “what do you think of me?”
He didn’t say anything.
“Well, you don’t want me to see my daughter, do you? Okay, wait and see!” Then she hung up the phone.
Once they met or talked on the phone, they would always quarrel.
Lingweihao weakly leaned against the chair, with empty eyes, but irritable in his heart. He didn’t feel guilty for what he had just said. He just wanted to humiliate his ex-wife.
After a long time, his phone rang again. He picked it up and found that it was his father calling. He smiled. It seemed that she was going to beg his father.
He pressed the answer key, “Dad!”
“Why don’t you let Shuting see Xinyan?” Lingwei asked on the phone.
“I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let her see you!” He just put forward a condition. If she was willing, he would let her see his daughter. He did not refuse her directly.
“Shuting wants to see Xinyan today. You’d better arrange it.” Lingwei Hung up the phone immediately.
Lingweihao raised his eyebrows. He was not afraid of his father, but for his father’s sake.
On the way to the school to pick up Xinyan, Lingweihao called Yang Shuting and said with a smile, “you’d rather beg my father than me.”
“At least your father is not as shameless as you!” Yang Shuting gnashed her teeth.
“I don’t think I am shameless. I have made it clear in the court that you can only see your daughter two times a month. Now you want to see her more than once. I don’t object. But you should pay the price, shouldn’t you?” He said.
“That’s why you are shameless. You forced me to a dead end. Even if I die, I won’t beg you.” She said firmly.
“Yang Shuting, remember what you said.” He said to her with a gloomy look in his eyes.
At the M foreign language school, when she saw him, she looked at him strangely and asked, “Why are you here to pick me up?”
“Get in the car!” Lingweihao didn’t answer her question, but said coldly.
Taking a glance at him, she opened the door and got in.
On the way to the villa of the Ling family, Lingweihao didn’t tell her that her mother was coming to see her.
As soon as she returned to the villa, she grabbed her schoolbag and went upstairs to her room. She locked the door and never came out. She didn’t have class this afternoon, and her head teacher said that her father had asked for half a day’s leave for her.
As soon as Lingweihao came back, his phone rang. Seeing that it was from Yang Shuting, he couldn’t help smiling and pressed the answer button.
“Where is my daughter? When will you take her here?” Yang Shuting asked.
“If you want to see your daughter, come to the villa.” Lingweihao said with a faint smile.
The person on the other end of the line was stunned for a second and asked in confusion, “didn’t you say that you would meet me at the Dream Hotel? Why did you suddenly ask me to go to the villa?”
“I changed my mind.” He raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“You…” she was so angry that she didn’t expect him to be so insidious and cunning.
