Chapter 48 – My Daughter is a Mistress (part 8)

The young man walked towards Wen Cai Er. When he saw her, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then looked away and handed the bag he took back to Wen Cai Er. “Young miss, here is your bag. You should check to see if anything was taken.”

Wen Cai Er took her bag and checked over it carefully. She was relieved. “Thank you. This bag means a lot to me. When I was in college, my mother bought it for me. It is my favourite bag. Thank you very much.”

The young man was a little embarrassed. “It’s nothing. I should go.”

“My name is Wen Cai Er. May I ask for your surname? I must thank you properly.” Wen Cai Er completely ignored Tang Sheng Xuan standing next to her.

“No need, no need. My name is Chen Ke,” the young man said, blushing since he was embarrassed.

“Chen Ke, thank you so much for today,” Wen Cai Er said excitedly.

Tang Sheng Xuan, who had been ignored, was a little embarrassed. “Young miss, I think you have sprained your foot. Do you need someone to accompany you to the hospital?”

Wen Cai Er glanced at him when he interrupted her. “No need. Thank you for your concern.” She then took out her cell phone and handed it to Chen Ke. “Mr. Chen, could you give me your contact information? Today is not very convenient, so I will treat you to a meal another day to express my gratitude.”

“There’s really no need.” Chen Ke looked at Wen Cai Er and unconsciously took her cell phone and entered in his contact information.

Wen Cai Er saved his number and smiled.

At this time, the police rushed over after receiving the call. They inquired about the situation, then brought the thief to their car. Wen Cai Er and Chen Ke were also asked to come with them to give an account of what happened.

Cooperating with the police was the duty of every citizen. Naturally, Wen Cai Er and Chen Ke would not object. However, when Wen Cai Er was about to walk, she felt pain in her ankle. Upon seeing this, Tang Sheng Xuan was about to step forward and settle the matter with the police for her when Chen Ke squeezed past him. “Young miss Wen, I will help you into the car!”

Wen Cai Er was very grateful and smiled at Chen Ke. Chen Ke was dazzled by her smile and almost had a nosebleed. The violent throbbing in his chest told him that he finally had a crush for the first time in 28 years.

Tang Sheng Xuan watched Wen Cai Er and the man get into the police car. He frowned and turned to walk to a Ferrari parked at the side of the road. He was about to drive off when someone knocked on the window of the car. Tang Sheng Xuan lowered the window and saw a woman with heavy make-up suggestively looking at him. “Handsome man, can you give me a lift?”

Tang Sheng Xuan was used to seeing things like this. Before, he was still in the mood to entertain her, but now he wasn’t.

“Leave!” Tang Sheng Xuan closed the car door and drove off.

When Tang Sheng Xuan returned home, his wife, Su Qing Xue hurriedly greeted him. “How was it?”

“Don’t mention it. I don’t know where this hothead came from which interfered with my good deeds,” Tang Sheng Xuan said, annoyed, as he threw his coat on the sofa.

Su Qin Xue frowned. “It doesn’t matter. There is still a chance. Take your time.”

“Take my time? There is no time! That wild thing is already married. If they have a son, then the old man will definitely be partial to that side. This time, the old lady isn’t there. When the old lady was there, I was her grandson and she would favour me. But now she is no longer there. In the eyes of the old man, that wild thing and I are both his grandsons. That old man has hundreds of millions of assets in his hands, even a penny is too much for that wild thing. If it weren’t for them, then how could my parents have a car accident?! Couldn’t I have it easy today?” Tang Sheng Xuan said sullenly.

Su Qing Xue sat down next to Tang Sheng Xuan. “Don’t worry. Grandpa won’t be so confused and my family won’t just sit back and watch. Too bad Qin Ya was too confused. I asked her many times to help us thread the needle! She just had to refuse or it wouldn’t have been so hard!”

Tang Sheng Xuan sighed and patted Su Qin Xue’s hand lightly. He and Su Qing Xue had known each other for many years. After his parents passed away, he was struggling at home and in the company. It was Qin Xue who spared no effort in persuading the family to help her smoothly take over the company and gain a firm foothold. When Qin Xue was pregnant with her daughter, her ovaries and uterus had malignant tumours. When she gave birth, she had her uterus and ovaries removed, so she could no longer have children. That wasn’t a problem. There was nothing wrong with their family of three.

But the old man is getting older and wants to hold a grandson. He also said that whoever let him hold a grandson will be given 80% of his property. Although he was the general manager of the company, the stocks and various assets that the old man had added up to hundreds of millions. He also didn’t want a penny to go to that wild thing.

Tang Sheng Xuan was the grandson of the old man, so how could that wild thing be compared to him? But, the old man not only changed his will, he also made a notarisation.

Su Qin Xue could no longer give birth and Tang Sheng Xuan was unwilling to divorce her. In desperation, he could only find a different way, a surrogate.

Ordinarily, surrogacy should be very simple. As long as you were willing to pay, there would be many willing people. But, Tang Sheng Xuan and Su Qin Xue were different. The heir of the Tang family must have good genes. An ordinary girl wouldn’t do.

Tang Sheng Xuan and Su Qin Xue searched for a few months before choosing Wen Cai Er. She was beautiful and had a high IQ. Such a girl was worthy of being a surrogate for them. It was a pity that the first time he contacted her, he could only come home without anything.

A trace of determination flashed through Su Qin Xue’s eyes. “I’ll go talk to Qin Ya and beg her. I don’t believe that she won’t help me since I’m her cousin!”

Tang Sheng Xuan had calmed down by now. He gently held Su Qin Xue’s hand. “Don’t go. Qin Ya has a strange temperament. Don’t irritate her. After all, she is the biological daughter of uncle. I can’t bear to let you get embarrassed. Don’t worry. Today was just an accident. Don’t you still believe in me? Give me some more time and I will be able to convince Wen Cai Er.”

Su Qin Xue’s parents died early and she had been living with her aunt and uncle. Although her aunt and uncle love her, she was not their biological child. She wasn’t headstrong like Qin Ya. She could only learn to be sensible, well-behaved, and work hard.

“Husband!” Su Qin Xue leaned into Tang Sheng Xuan’s arms. Tang Sheng Xuan gently embraced her and the two were silent until their daughter woke up and cried.

At the other end, Wen Cai Er was sent home by Chen Ke. Li Su received her call and had been waiting at home for quite a while. Seeing Wen Cai Er’s red and swollen ankle, she felt a pain in her heart. “How many times have I told you not to wear high heels unless it’s necessary? You don’t listen. Now your ankle has been twisted. Does it hurt? Did you go to the hospital? What did the doctor say?!”

Wen Cai Er was a little embarrassed and looked up at Chen Ke. “Mum, I’m fine. By the way, mum, let me introduce you to Chen Ke. He helped me get my bag back from a thief and helped me afterwards. He also caught the thief.”

Li Su looked at the ambiguous atmosphere between the two. It seemed that it still went back to the original work and that they would be matched. But this time, their match should have a good ending!

“Chen Ke? This auntie thanks you so much! There aren’t many enthusiastic young men like you these days! Come eat at auntie’s house today. What would you like to do?” Li Su asked as she inspected Chen Ke. He was about 1.8 m tall.

Chen Ke stood there feeling a little at a loss. He looked at Li Su.

At this time, Wen Yuan Mo received the call and came back. When he saw this, he was startled. Li Su shot a look at Wen Yuan Mo and Wen Yuan Mo understood. “You are the brave and righteous young man? Ah, I am Wen Yuan Mo. Wen Cai Er is my older sis. Thank you so much for today! Come, let’s sit down and talk.”

Chen Ke was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Wen Cai Er and saw that she had no objections. He was overjoyed and sat on the sofa with Wen Yuan Mo.

The two of them chatted.

Li Su helped Wen Cai Er back to the room. Li Su then looked back at the two on the sofa and then sat next to Wen Cai Er. “I think this young man is good. What do you think?”

Wen Cai Er blushed slightly. “Mum, what are you talking about? He just helped me home. Don’t think about it. Maybe he already has a girlfriend or maybe he’s married. I won’t have a relationship with such a man.”

“Don’t lie to me. You are my daughter. Don’t think I don’t know you. If you weren’t sure that he was single, then would you let him send you home?” Li Su smiled.

Wen Cai Er lowered her head and said nothing. When the police station made the transcript, she subtly glanced at Chen Ke’s transcript and confirmed that he wasn’t married. She just wasn’t sure if he had a girlfriend. But, judging by his reaction on the way back, she guessed he didn’t have a girlfriend!

When Li Su saw this, she gave a frustrated smile.

Wen Cai Er was a little embarrassed. “By the way, mum. There was a ridiculous, self-righteous man today who thought I would feel moved. Tch.”

“What happened?” Li Su asked.

Wen Cai Er explained what happened. “How could it not be ridiculous? The thief hadn’t run that far. He didn’t help me chase the thief and instead squatted by my side and asked if I wanted to go to the hospital! Please. My wallet, cell phone and ID are in the bag. If he helped me get the bag back, then I would have been more grateful!”

Li Su thought of someone and double-checked the timeline. It seemed like it was starting.

Li Su didn’t know what was going on with Tang Sheng Xuan and Wen Cai Er in the first place. But, if she thought about it, Tang Sheng Xuan probably wanted a child from the beginning. He just shouldn’t choose Wen Cai Er. In this life, Tang Sheng Xuan better be smarter and not provoke Wen Cai Er, otherwise she wouldn’t mind letting Tang Sheng Xuan know what it meant to have a peach blossom face!1
