Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 263: Eight Hundred Tricks_1

He pinched the bridge of his nose and Xiao Ming said, "First, I drank a bit too much tonight and my brain isn’t quite cooperating, so if there’s anything I say that’s not right or offensive, don’t take it to heart."

Secondly, regarding your resignation from your job in Donghai and your intention to sell your house and move back with me to Longyin, Hanqing has also told me all about it.

Frankly, such actions are too impulsive and hasty.

I’ve never been a father in two lifetimes, I still like to do things my own way, and wherever I go, I can stir up a bunch of trouble. I can’t fathom where your trust in me comes from, aren’t you worried that the child will be led astray by me?"

Gu Tinglan didn’t understand why he emphasized "two lifetimes," but she also didn’t bother to ask further, hurriedly saying, "I don’t know if this decision is correct, but I only know that Chairman, you are a good person who truly cares for Mengmeng.

The things you’ve done in the Lu Family, the words you’ve said, and Lu Shijun’s deplorable behavior, all deeply taught me a lesson, that is, one cannot be weak, and especially, a child shouldn’t grow up under the education of a weak person.

Even if we take a step back, even if you don’t know how to discipline a child, at least with Mengmeng under your care, she can grow up healthy and safe, right?"

I’m sorry, Chairman, I acknowledge that my actions somewhat aimed to take advantage of you, but I can’t think of any other way.

For Mengmeng, the greatest return I can offer you is to give up everything in Donghai and work diligently for you.

I beg you, Chairman, as long as you agree, I am willing to work like an ox or a horse for the rest of my life."

As she said this, Gu Tinglan knelt down on the ground.

Xiao Ming quickly got up to help her, but unexpectedly felt dizzy, and, unable to control himself, also thumped down on his knees in front of Gu Tinglan.

Their eyes met, and both were flabbergasted.

"Yo! What’s this about? Are you two playing house and worshiping heaven and earth?"

The sarcastic tone of Yang Hanqing’s voice sounded, and Gu Tinglan immediately came to her senses, hastily helping Xiao Ming up.

"Chairman...this isn’t right! Please get up... Ah!"

Xiao Ming got up too abruptly, his head spun, and his stomach reacted instantly, tumultuous like an overturned river.

He was struggling to hold it in when Gu Tinglan suddenly came to help again, with quite some force, shaking him more than a little, and in an instant, it was all over.

Ugh...

Half a stomach full of white liquor and Cantonese dishes, none went to waste, all vomited onto Gu Tinglan.

After about fifteen minutes, Xiao Ming lay in the bathtub, still unable to withhold a wry smile when thinking about what had just happened.

How embarrassing!

Creak—!

The bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, and he hurriedly covered himself up, turning his head and angrily saying, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

Yang Hanqing’s long hair was still dripping wet, as she closed the door behind her, pouting, "Heartless, you’ve forgotten the old so quickly for the new, eh?"

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, "I don’t want to lose my temper at you, don’t test my patience."

Yang Hanqing sighed silently and said, "Don’t worry! The reason I came to Lingnan this time is exactly because of Xue’s trust. Even if you want to do something, I won’t agree to it."

"Then why are you coming in?"

"Gu Tinglan got scared, thinking she ruined her daughter’s hope and couldn’t stop crying.

Mengmeng, who was halfway through bathing, heard it and ran out to cry with her, and no matter how I tried to console her, it was useless, so I had to come find you to clear things up!

Of course, if you want someone to scrub your back, I’m more than happy to help."

"Out of respect for the sisterly bond between you and Xue’er, I must decline."

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes and settled back in, "Go tell Tinglan that I am very willing to be Mengmeng’s dad, but this matter isn’t just about the adults, we still need to ask Mengmeng what she thinks."

"Also, tell her to stop worrying. Even if Mengmeng won’t call me dad, I’ll still treat her like my own daughter,"

"Mengmeng is so young, she doesn’t understand anything yet. Is it necessary to ask?"

"Children are people too, independent individuals who deserve respect.

She might not understand, but as adults, we can teach her. However, we can’t make decisions for her, especially those that affect her future.

It’s a matter of principle."

Yang Hanqing’s eyes shone, and she smiled, "I suddenly remember something Gu Xiangmeng once said: is there anything you can’t do?

I don’t know if you can be a good, qualified dad, but just based on that principle, I’m sure you can surpass most of the dads in this world."

Xiao Ming closed his eyes, "I’d rather be a good husband, understand?"

A touch of grievance and anger flashed across Yang Hanqing’s face, "What makes a good husband?"

"Consistency."

"So a man who has never cheated but likes to beat his wife, is he a good husband too?"

"Uh... that’s a loaded question, it’s sophistry."

"No, I just want to refute you: Consistency is the basis of a good man, but not a necessary condition for a good husband."

Xiao Ming laughed, "Go on, I want to see what you can come up with."

"No need," Yang Hanqing snorted, "I only have one question for you: if a woman doesn’t care about consistency, then is a man who insists on it still considered a good husband to her?"

This question really stumped Xiao Ming, and after pondering for a while he said, "What a joke! For a woman to not be jealous, the sun would have to rise from the west. Where in the world is there a woman who doesn’t care about that?"

"You’ll meet one eventually."

Having said that, Yang Hanqing turned and left the bathroom.

Xiao Ming scratched his head, wondering what this seemingly meek but bold woman was up to now. She wouldn’t be planning to PUA my wife, would she?

Not good, I must remind Xue’er to be on guard. Yang Hanqing has more than enough cunning; she’s not someone who can be easily handled.

The next day, Xiao Ming brought Gu Zhimeng to the company and gave the little girl some math problems before he started on business matters.

Gu Zhimeng was already in second grade, and Jiang Xue was liaising with schools in Longyin. After returning, she would need to enroll.

Children are quite sensitive, and being in a new environment can make them uneasy. If they fall too far behind their peers in their studies, they might end up disliking school.

This could affect their entire lives, so Xiao Ming didn’t dare to neglect it.

At ten in the morning, Chen Tianyou and Tang Qingbai arrived.

Both had been quite emotional the night before and didn’t have Xiao Ming’s stamina, so they were severely hungover, looking haggard with dark circles under their eyes that made Xiao Ming laugh heartily.

Gu Zhimeng courteously bowed and greeted them as Uncle Chen and Uncle Tang. They had seen Xiao Ming’s interviews and obviously knew that the girl was close to him. Suddenly, they seemed somewhat at a loss, looking as if they wanted to run out and buy red envelopes.

"Don’t bother now. There will be plenty of opportunities later."

Xiao Ming invited them to sit down and waited for Gu Tinglan to serve tea and leave before he said, "I kept the child’s mother as my secretary and couldn’t send the child back to school alone, so I brought her with me."

Chen Tianyou and Tang Qingbai exchanged glances, both wearing an expression that only men understand.

Clearly, no one believed Xiao Ming was only using Gu Tinglan as a secretary.

Xiao Ming, too lazy to explain, handed them a sheet of paper, saying, "The company’s establishment will be handled by Hanqing, who will be responsible for liaising with you since I was with you last night. I’m too lazy to run around everywhere.

This list is of the major figures in the field of optical equipment around the world that I know of. Take a look and see if there’s anyone to add, and then let’s try to bring all these people over."
