For He Siming, what mattered most to him was his son. In other words, Gong Xue was not that important to him, which might not be the case with someone else.
This time, Wen Baobao indeed won a big victory over Gong Xue. But if this woman came back later, he couldn’t keep using the same reason to have his father all to himself. He had to do something.
After much hesitation, Wen Baobao decided to make a secret phone call to Wen Shuyue.
“Mommy, where are you now?”
“Mommy’s working. Aren’t you supposed to go to school? Why do you still have time to call me?” There was Wen Shuyue’s voice on the other end of the phone.
Wen Baobao rolled his eyes and said sheepishly, “Mommy, it’s the weekend. I don’t have class, but I’m going to school this afternoon. The teacher said he wanted to have a talk with my parents, so I had to find you because daddy was too busy.”
The more Wen Baobao talked, the more aggrieved he felt. Other children were picked up by their parents to and from school, and it was the housekeeper to send him to school. Some students had even begun to say that he had no parents.
“What time this afternoon? Can I ask someone to be there on behalf of me?” Wen Shuyue was in a dilemma.
The company needed her here for the time being. If she wanted to accompany Wen Baobao to school, some of her colleagues might make a big deal of it.
“Are you busy, Mommy? If so, I shall have to ask the housekeeper over.” Wen Baobao was disappointed, but he didn’t want to upset his mother.
But what he didn’t know was that the more he said it, the worse Wen Shuyue felt in her heart.
She always felt that she was doing a terrible job as a mother. She hadn’t been to school since her child transferred.
Wen Shuyue took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, then made a solemn decision.
“Don’t worry, dear, Mommy’s job has been assigned to someone else. I’ll pick you up and take you to school this afternoon.”
“Thanks, Mommy.” Wen Baobao was overjoyed.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Wen Baobao rushed to see He Siming.
He Siming might have come back from the company because of something temporary, and he happened to be seen by Wen Baobao, who ran up to his daddy and hugged him on one thigh.
“Dad, we have an activity at school this afternoon. The teacher made it mandatory for parents to attend. Will you come with me?” Wen Baobao smiled and looked at He Siming expectantly.
He Siming stared at him for a moment. Wen Baobao thought he would agree. Instead, he patted Wen Baobao on the head and said softly, “I am so occupied today. I really can’t spare the time, so let your mother go with you, okay?”
On hearing this, Wen Baobao’s face sank instantly. Without even thinking about it, he hurriedly said, “My teacher said my parents have to go together. Mommy already said yes. Come on, Dad, if you don’t go, Mommy will definitely be bullied. “
The kids at school thought Wen Baobao didn’t have mom and dad. Wen Baobao was clever to avoid being bullied by those kids.
Now if his father didn’t go to such an important event in school, the kids would look for new topics to bully him.
“Well, forget it if you really don’t want to go. They always thought I didn’t need my parents anyway.” Seeing that He Siming didn’t speak anymore, Wen Baobao let go of his hand in disappointment and left, looking somewhat lonely.
The way he looked like made He Siming feel very sad. If it were not for the fact that today’s meeting could not be postponed, he would go with Wen Baobao no matter what.
“Boss, it’s getting late. Let’s hurry up and go.” Seeing that He Siming was silent, Guan Yue, who stood by, opened his mouth to remind him.
He Siming nodded. Even though he felt indebted in his heart, he left resolutely.
In the afternoon, Wen Baobao was still sent to school by the housekeeper. He was delighted to wait for Wen Shuyue at the door, but he finally got an apology call.
“I’m sorry, Baobao, I really cannot cancel my work. Did your father go with you?” Wen Shuyue was clearly guilty, helpless, and heartbroken.
The smile on Wen Baobao’s face faded, and the only glimmer of expectation in his heart was dashed. He pouted, with tears welling up in his big eyes, but he finally held them back and choked, “Mommy, it’s okay. You go to work and come when there is an event next time. Mommy, I have to go. The teacher called me over.”
“Baobao…”
Wen Shuyue wanted to say something else, but Wen Baobao didn’t give her a chance. He wiped his tears and went to the teacher.
Looking at the phone hung up early, Wen Shuyue felt her heart hurt as if being stabbed by something. She had been so busy with her work and career that she had hardly participated in Baobao’s school activities.
Baobao had always been very sensible. As long as parents were not required to attend, he would never tell Wen Shuyue. But this time, Baobao asked her to go, but she went back on her word. Baobao must be very sad right now.
“Don’t be too sad, Miss Wen. Mr. Gu asked you to sort out this document and send it to him. He needs it now.” Xiaolu comforted Wen Shuyue and then handed her the document.
“Okay.” Wen Shuyue returned from her thoughts, hurriedly sorted out the documents, and sent them to Gu Ning.
At the moment the company had nothing important to do but meetings with big companies. If she could get this done, she must try to get to Wen Baobao’s school.
Wen Shuyue kept thinking in her mind that she might have made mistakes in many essential parts of the document because she was distracted.
With a snap, Gu Ning, who got angry as he looked at the document, finally threw it down, hitting Wen Shuyue’s foot hard.
Wen Shuyue’s face immediately turned sour, and she said, “Is there anything wrong with my document? Why are you so angry?”
“Look carefully at how many mistakes you’ve made in your papers! Wen Shuyue, what’s wrong with you lately? Have you been kicked in the brain by an ass!” Gu Ning looked at her coldly, visibly disappointed.
At first, Wen Shuyue didn’t think it was her fault, but when she saw the contents of the document, her face became gloomier.
Gu Ning was right. It was her fault.
Because she wanted to finish the work and accompany Baobao, she had been distracted from her work. It was all her fault after all.
“Wen Shuyue, what’s happened to you recently? You would never have made such a stupid mistake before.”
