The Villain's Mother

Chapter 66 – As a father, shouldn’t he try to do everything that he could in order to give his child the best possible living environment? (2)

Little Wang was naturally quickly fooled by his dad’s words. He nodded, but still feeling worried, he said, “Dad, you’re not allowed to tell this to mom either. I’ll properly observe mom. I’ll definitely figure out what things she likes.”

As a well-behaved and sensible son, Little Wang felt quite dejected that he didn’t even know what things his mom liked.

When Little Wang came waddling back to her room, Ruan Xia noticed that her chubby son looked a bit guilty. He struggled to climb onto the bed with his short legs for a little bit before he rolled over to her side. Rubbing his head against her arm, he said, “Mom smells so nice.”

“Yeah.” Ruan Xia thought; she didn’t want to see the price on the shower gel that the original owner had purchased.

Wealthy people truly lived luxuriously in every aspect of their lives.

Little Wang was especially clingy tonight. He seemed as if he was fawning over her too. Ruan Xia noticed his behavior, but this little fellow had always been like this, so she didn’t bother to ask him why. After covering him up with his little blanket, she picked up a children’s book on the bedside table and started telling a bedtime story.

This children’s book had English and Chinese text. Right now, it was still a bit difficult for Ruan Xia to read out loud the English version. That wasn’t to say that her English comprehension was poor, she merely had the same problem as other people. She could write in English, but speaking it... was difficult.

Ruan Xia was still taking classes with a foreigner teacher. She felt that before she got to the point where she could fluently speak English, she should stick to reading the Chinese text. She didn’t want to adversely influence Little Wang by reading out loud with the wrong pronunciation.

Little Wang seriously listened. When Ruan Xia was reading him bedtime stories, her expression looked so gentle. The picture of a mother and son leaning against each looked very heartwarming.

Song Tingshen was standing outside the room with his ear pressed against the closed door. He could faintly hear the sounds coming from inside the room.

As a father, shouldn’t he try to do everything that he could in order to give his child the best possible living environment?

Early next morning, for the first time ever, Song Tingshen called Assistant Chen and told him to reschedule his morning meetings to the afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Song Tingshen was extremely responsible towards his work. If he didn’t have a certain level of self-discipline and wasn’t strict with himself, it wouldn’t have been possible to have reached his current success with his poor background.

After Assistant Chen put down his phone, he wasn’t quite able to return to his senses yet. Although he had only been Song Tingshen’s assistant for two years, he had an understanding of CEO Song’s character. Could it be that something had happened at home?

When Assistant Chen left the office to go to the break room to make himself coffee, he happened to bump into Li Jing.

Li Jing smiled at him and took out a clear jar from her lunch bag. “I was bored at home yesterday, so I baked some cookies. Brother Chen, please have some.”

Assistant Chen took the jar. “Thank you. You’re so skillful with your hands. When my girlfriend said she was going to bake me cookies, they all turned out burnt.”

Li Jing and Assistant Chen idly chatted for a while.

After she had laid out enough groundwork, she pretended to casually mention, “Is CEO Song sick? It’s almost 9AM, but he’s not here. I have a report that needs his signature...”

Assistant Chen knew that Li Jing could be considered to be a nepotistic hire, so he said, “CEO Song won’t be coming into the office this morning. You can give the report to me instead.”
