11:40 am, after the trial was over.
Xu Baohan had just returned to his office, when he passed by the reception room, the person sitting on the sofa stood up. The other middle-aged woman did not move, she lowered her head and used her phone to send a Wechat message.
âItâs almost noon, letâs have lunch together,â Xu Jinfei said first, âItâs rare for your mother and I to come over together.â
Xu Baohan passed the documents to Su Run and took off his robe. His eyebrows were slightly cold. âItâs indeed rare. Youâve been divorced for a few years, what kind of wind can suddenly blow you two together?â
Zhuang Wanling, who had been sending Wechat messages, raised her head. âItâs the end of the year, thereâs nothing wrong with a family gathering.â
Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows without batting an eyelid..
âYour grandfather was cremated yesterday,â Xu Jinfei suddenly said.
Xu Baohan tugged at the collar of his shirt to prevent himself from being so breathless. âI have to work overtime at noon and am very busy. Letâs talk about the real reason why I brought you here. Everyone knows what kind of family the three of us are in.â
If this father really cared about him, he wouldnât have ignored him the last time he fallen off the building. Zhuang Wanling had at least made a trip to the hospital, but the two of them had left after getting into a fight.
Zhuang Wanling was clearly impatient. âWhy do you have to be like this? I came from Hangzhou for you so early in the morning.â
âIâm taking my annual leave tomorrow. I have a lot of things to do today.â Xu Baohan glanced at Su Run, who immediately closed the door and walked out.
Zhuang Wanling was surprised. âYouâre usually a workaholic, but you actually took your annual leave. Sure enough, itâs different when you have a girlfriend.â
Xu Baohan pursed his lips, unsure if he could accept it or not.
Xu Jinfei couldnât hold it in any longer and said, âSpeaking of your girlfriend, letâs have a chat today. I met her yesterday and I donât think sheâs suitable for you. I donât like her being so rude either. I advise you to break up.â
Xu Baohan scoffed and bent down to sit on the sofa opposite them. âThis is your main purpose for coming here today, isnât it? What else do you want to say in one go?â
Xu Jinfei continued, âIâve asked around. Her name is An Lan and she is a partner in a law firm. She is quite famous and I heard that she is quite powerful. Her reputation in the industry isnât very good and I heard that she has a close relationship with various people. How can you be a match for a woman like her? I met Zhuang Tianya a few days ago, I can tell that she still has feelings for you. Even though she left you previously, it wasnât because you didnât help her parents. Iâve already said that...â
âYouâre too rigid, stubborn and youâre too cold, even towards your parents and your girlfriend, but she havenât forgotten about you. Zhuang Tianya has a gentle personality and her family is well-off too. Just her company, after it went public, its stock value has increased several times. A wealthy young mistress like her who is so loyal to you.â
Zhuang Wanling nodded. âIf you can reconcile with her, it will be of great help to me in the import and export trade. Business isnât good these days.â
Xu Baohan smiled, his cold gaze sweeping over the two people in front of him.
These were his biological parents.
Even though he had long understood their personalities, he still felt a chill in his heart.
Xu Jinfei saw that he did not speak, he continued, âOur car sales company is not doing too well now. The rise of domestic cars is too fast, and it has had a huge impact on the imported cars. The sales volume of the branches across the country is getting lower and lower year by year. We need new shareholders, new technical services and marketing plans. Even if the shops are not up to date, they need to be rectified. Some of the locations of the shops are not very good either...â
