Chapter 295: Chapter 201: The Directory of the Huashang Chamber of Comrce
Chen Cheng’s thoughts lingered in the mont in the janitor’s room, as well as amidst the lively nights at Ghost Market, and also within Wen Shulin’s ssage, “I’m a bit tired today, let’s do this another day.”
He didn’t know why, but he always felt a bit unsettled.
Perhaps it was because of his relationship with Su Liya that had introduced a subtle change to his already balanced life.
It might also be that Wen Shulin’s first ever broken promise made him worry about what had actually happened to her.
At this mont, the only responses Chen Cheng got were from the engine’s roar and Xiao ier, sitting beside him.
“What’s on your mind? Honey, what are you thinking about?”
“Nothing much, just feeling that today was quite fulfilling.”
“Yes, we owe it to you today, or else I really wouldn’t have known how to deal with that clever little Li Ya.”
Xiao ier smiled, “By the way, have you noticed that Sister Lin seems a bit off?”
Chen Cheng replied, “She’s been so busy all day, probably just tired.”
“Yeah, it’s definitely not easy for her to raise a child on her own,” Xiao ier sighed, then asked, “Eh? I’ve never heard her ntion Li Ya’s father?”
Turning her body, she asked, “Have you ever t Sister Lin’s husband?”
Chen Cheng only knew about the Sponsorship Agreent that Wen Shulin had signed in the past, but he had definitely never t the man.
So, he shook his head.
“That’s really strange, huh!” Xiao ier propped her chin, muttering to herself, “Sister Lin is so capable and Li Ya is so obedient, yet they never ntion him.”
She turned her head towards Chen Cheng, “Do you think there’s so kind of conflict there?”
“Did they get divorced? Or what happened?”
Chen Cheng knew that Xiao ier’s gossiping soul had ignited once again, and while driving, he teased with a laugh:
“You just love to worry about others. Why are we guessing about their family matters?”
“I’m just curious…”
“Stop being curious. If they’re not ntioning it, they have their reasons. Let’s just take care of ourselves.”
Chen Cheng said, freeing one hand to gently pat Xiao ier’s hand, “And don’t go asking; in case they really do have sothing difficult to talk about, it’ll be awkward later.”
“I definitely wouldn’t ask,” Xiao ier quickly said, “Sister Lin has been so good to , I really consider her a sister.”
“Oh? Such a good impression?”
“Of course! I’ve been in Beijing for so many years; aside from you, grandpa, and godfather, she has been the kindest to !” Xiao ier nodded emphatically.
“She even said, when I open my milk tea shop, she’ll be the first to support !”
Xiao ier said joyfully, “When the ti cos, we should give both Sister Lin and Li Ya a VIP, free for life, what do you think?”
Chen Cheng watched Xiao ier’s face filled with happiness, and couldn’t help but feel moved, thinking that even though she was usually carefree, she had a very kind heart and made friends easily.
Aside from Jin Baogen’s entrustnt, this was probably why Wen Shulin was willing to be close to her.
“Right,” Xiao ier suddenly seed to rember sothing, “Do you think Sister Lin might be facing so difficulties?”
“Like what?” Chen Cheng also felt sothing wasn’t right.
“Like…”
Xiao ier bit her lip, “Maybe she’s facing so financial difficulties?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head in self-denial, “No, no! She’s so wealthy, it can’t be that.”
“Could it be so problems with her company?” Xiao ier speculated again.
“With CGG being such a big company that’s weathered all kinds of storms, I don’t think there’s anything that could worry her,” Chen Cheng denied.
“Then why is that?”
Xiao ier furrowed her brows, deep in thought.
After a while, she lowered her voice, “Could it be… relationship issues?”
Chen Cheng was amused by her sudden idea, “Relationship issues? Where did that co from?”
“You never know!”
Xiao ier took on the air of soone who’s been through it all, “No matter what age a woman is, she longs for love. Maybe Sister Lin is facing sothing that’s making it hard for her to decide?”
Chen Cheng’s heart skipped a beat.
He thought of the rejection ssage he just received; it indeed seed to convey a trace of helplessness and struggle.
“Is it because she saw and Xiao Er taking Li Ya out and beca unhappy?” Chen Cheng pondered, “That’s not right either! No, no, it can’t be.”
Chen Cheng cald his emotions, recalling that Wen Shulin had ntioned going back to the company to see a client in the afternoon.
The crux of the matter might lie with this client.
“Honey, do you think my guess is correct?”
“Huh?”
“Love is like a tornado. When it cos, nothing can stop it!”
Chen Cheng: “Stop guessing, I’ll ask her when I see her tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Xiao ier smiled, resting her head on the headrest, dreaming about the future, “I didn’t expect us to have a new venture so quickly!”
Her face bead with happiness, “Honey, do you think our milk tea shop will be a huge success once it opens?”
Chen Cheng looked at her innocent and joyous expression, “Of course, the wealth will be rolling in! You’re the classic harbinger of prosperity for your husband!”
Xiao ier blushed at the complint, lowering her head, “Still, I’m a bit worried.”
“This ti, the investnt will definitely be much bigger than for Wanbao Hall.”
Chen Cheng held Xiao ier’s hand, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“You’re always so confident!”
Chen Cheng said with a smile, “Isn’t my confidence all thanks to you?”
“?” Xiao ier pointed at her nose.
“Have you forgotten? You are Xiao Er from Big Willow Tree! You have a buff!”
Xiao ier was tickled by Chen Cheng’s words, laughing and playfully scolding, “Stop it, what Big Willow Tree Xiao Er, we’re all grown-ups now, and you’re still teasing like this.”
