The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 30 – Money from the Sky (3)

In his less than 5 years of life, “dad” was an unfamiliar term. Perhaps he had a dad when he was younger, but for as long as he could remember, it had just been him and his mom.

All the others kids have dads, but not him. Even at his young age, Zhang Yuanjia was sad, but he always felt that his mom was sadder than him, so he had always refrained himself from asking about his dad.

Now that he has heard the word “dad” from his mom, Zhang Yuanjia was pleasantly surprised. He wanted to ask mom to tell him more about dad but remembering that there’s a strange aunty around right now, Zhang Yuanjia blushed and looked down, embarrassed.

He has so many questions he wanted to ask his mom when the strange aunty wasn’t around anymore.

A few casual words from Yan Shuyu had not only brought up so much for the little boy, but even Chen Jing was thinking about it. She wasn’t sure if that was deliberate or not.

Not that it matters one way or another to Chen Jing, she just has to follow her orders from Managing Director Han and have the ex-employee came back to show how much the company cared, then take her to treasury to sign the documents and pick up her check and then her job was done.

Once Chen Jing had made up her mind, she took Yan Shuyu and her son into her office, but as soon as she sat down and before she could even dig out the documents, her phone rang.

There seemed to have been some urgent issues that need to tend to. Hanging up the phone, she gave Yan Shuyu an apologetic look.

As much as Yan Shuyu wanted to get her pay, she knew better than to hold someone back from doing their job so she had to smile and said, “It’s alright, Manager Chen. You go take care of that first.”

“They have told me about this earlier, it’d probably take a little over half an hour….”

“That’s quite alright, I am free the entire morning.”

“Alright, let me go take care of that first,” Chen Jing felt better now. As she collected her stuff, she said, “Don’t just sit here and wait, that’d be boring. You are familiar with this place, go show your son around. You won’t need me for that.”

As she was talking, she shoved an access badge into the Yan Shuyu’s hand and took off quickly, leaving Yan Shuyu standing there scratching her head.

She knew that Hotel Dorsett was a fancy hotel with impeccable security, even guests needed to swipe their room keys to use the elevator. Employees, of course, needed to have their work badge to go from places to places, why did she feel that Manager Chen had other intentions?

So would she really be able to get her pay today? Just when Yan Shuyu was worrying about getting her pay, Zhang Yuanjia’s interest was piqued by Chen Jing’s words. Little boy had always been curious, he might be able to hold back and be well-behaved when there were others around; now that it was just him and his mother, little kiddo couldn’t help himself anymore. Tugging at his mother’s hand, he said in a cute voice, “Mom, are we going to play?”

“Wow, when did you learn to be so coquettish?” It had been a few days since Yan Shuyu had transmigrated, but this was the first time the kiddo called her mommy. All of a sudden, she forgot all her troubles. Lifting up his cute, little face happily, she gave him a loud kiss on his cheek, “MMMUUA, okay. Mommy will take you to play.”

A red lip print appeared on his white, clean face; the little kiddo, not knowing any better, followed his unconscientious mother out of the office.
