Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 125 - 123 Li Ya: I Want to Thank Him
Chapter 125: Chapter 123 Li Ya: I Want to Thank Him
Xiao Meier’s heart couldn’t settle down for a long time.
So much so that on the way back, she tightly held Chen Cheng’s hand, "Xiao Cheng, thank you!"
"Still being polite with me?" Chen Cheng teased her nose, "How was it? Feeling alright?"
"Awesome!" Xiao Meier straightened up, "Next time, let’s go earlier and get the seats at the very front!"
"No problem!"
Chen Cheng yawned twice. "Aren’t you tired?"
Xiao Meier leaned on Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "Not tired."
"Right, we should really thank Sister Lin." She suddenly said, "She helped us so much, why don’t we invite her for a meal."
Chen Cheng wrapped his arms around Xiao Meier, "Whatever you decide is fine."
"I knew you would agree!"
Chen Cheng rested his head on Xiao Meier’s head and said, "When have I ever refused you anything?"
"Let me think~"
Xiao Meier pondered for a while but really couldn’t recall any instance where Chen Cheng promised something but failed to do it.
"Ah! How can you be so good!"
Chen Cheng smiled, "My goodness is only for you alone!"
Hearing this, Xiao Meier smiled even more brightly, "I’ll boil four eggs for you when we get back!"
"Ah? Eating so many?"
"To replenish!"
Chen Cheng: "Sister Meier wants to do something naughty again."
"I did not!"
"Stubborn!"
After watching the flag raising, Wen Shulin quickly rushed to the Chaoyang District, parting ways with Chen Xiao.
Xiao Meier originally wanted to invite Wen Shulin for breakfast, but seeing her hurried manner, she knew something was up.
By the time she reached the district’s police station, Zhang Jingsong had already arrived.
Wen Shulin approached quickly, "Professor Zhang, thank you for coming over so early, I truly..."
Zhang Jingsong waved his hand, "Let’s keep it short. Is everything prepared?"
Wen Shulin handed him two psychological assessments from different periods, "Everything is ready according to the plan we discussed last time."
Zhang Jingsong put on his glasses and took a close look.
"I also got some certification documents issued by the local Chinese social workers’ association," Wen Shulin took out a stack of documents, "I think these could serve as corroborating evidence."
Zhang Jingsong knew that getting these documents in such a short time was difficult.
Especially the documents proving Su Liya was suffering from depression even before this period, which a normal family could never obtain.
It was like the tea Wen Shulin gave him; although there was no brand name or fancy packaging, and even though the packaging was plain, Zhang Jingsong knew upon tasting that it came from the core production area of Ma Li.
"Very well, let’s go in!" He nodded slightly.
Wen Shulin reconfirmed, "Professor Zhang, my daughter will be alright, won’t she?"
"My assistant informed me half an hour ago that Su Liya received a penalty notice, with community-based monitoring and a fine."
Zhang Jingsong continued as they walked, "Because her urine test was fine, it is only the hair test where tetrahydrocannabinol was detected."
He was also willing to step forward only after learning this result.
Although Wen Shulin’s words were sincere, Zhang Jingsong cherishes his own reputation.
If he showed up blindly and ended up with problems in Su Liya’s urine test later, it could really tarnish his reputation.
After hearing this, Wen Shulin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let’s go pick her up now, then apply for administrative reconsideration to rescind the penalty against your daughter."
He then said, "Don’t worry, it will be alright."
"Okay, Professor Zhang," Wen Shulin said gratefully: "I will transfer the fees to you."
"You are Xiao Chen’s friend, no need."
Wen Shulin pursed her lips, knowing she owed Chen Cheng and had to repay.
...
...
"Hello, I am Su Liya’s attorney." Zhang Jingsong first took out his credentials, "I’m here to bail my client."
The police officer handling Su Liya’s case looked at Zhang Jingsong, then at Wen Shulin, "Please come with me."
Wen Shulin and Zhang Jingsong followed the officer to an office, and soon after, Su Liya was brought in.
Seeing Su Liya, Wen Shulin immediately rushed forward and hugged her tightly, "Li Ya, are you alright?"
Su Liya shook her head, "Mommy, I’m fine."
Wen Shulin released Su Liya, examining her from head to toe, and finally calmed down upon seeing she was unharmed.
"Sign here," the officer said. "Then you can leave."
He added, "You can’t leave Beijing for six months and must report to the community on time."
Zhang Jingsong assured, "Okay, officer."
Su Liya, like a child who had done something wrong, hid behind Wen Shulin, watching her mother sign page after page.
After completing the procedures, they walked out of the district station.
"Professor Zhang, thank you for today," Wen Shulin, holding Su Liya’s hand, expressed her gratitude once again.
Zhang Jingsong smiled, "Chairman Wen, don’t mention it, my assistant will follow up on the remaining issues. You just wait for the news."
"It’s no trouble."
"You are too polite."
Wen Shulin had her driver take Zhang Jingsong and his assistant away, while the two women stood by the roadside, Wen Shulin fussing with her disheveled hair.
"Mummy, I want to go home."
Wen Shulin nodded, "Okay, let’s go home."
"I want to go to your place," Su Liya snuggled into Wen Shulin’s arms, "I was so scared, I thought I would never see you again."
Wen Shulin tenderly stroked Su Liya’s hair, "Don’t be afraid, Li Ya, mommy is here, and I won’t let anyone hurt you."
"En!"
She hailed a passing taxi, and the two headed straight to Diaoyutai No. 7 Courtyard.
...
...
No. 7 Courtyard’s house is the one Wen Shulin most often stays in Beijing.
Building 12 has a great location, offering a view of Yuyuantan Park right when you open your eyes.
Only Wen Shulin lives in the house, everything is in single servings.
Even the slippers are no exception.
"You wear mommy’s shoes first." Wen Shulin took off her high heels, stood barefoot on the floor, and brought Su Liya the slippers.
Su Liya silently nodded, took off her AJ shoes, revealing her bare feet without socks.
"How come you’re not wearing socks?" asked Wen Shulin as she gently rubbed Su Liya’s nose.
"I don’t like them."
Wen Shulin said, "Then go take a shower, and mommy will make you breakfast."
She led the way, "Makeup remover, moisturizer, facial cleanser, essence, all available."
"I’ll get you a new towel," she tried hard to recall her daughter’s living habits, "Right, and you like to use a face mask after showering..."
Unexpectedly, Su Liya hugged Wen Shulin from behind.
"Mommy, I know I was wrong."
Wen Shulin’s tears could no longer be held back and started flowing down.
She touched the small hand placed on her stomach, "Li Ya, what’s done is done, don’t worry too much. Mommy will always be by your side, protecting you."
Su Liya nodded, "Mommy, I understand."
Wen Shulin wiped her tears and turned around, "Mommy loves you."
"En en! I know!"
"Go take a shower, and I’ll make your favorite bacon."
Su Liya walked into the bathroom, while Wen Shulin didn’t idle.
The sleepless night had her summon every ounce of energy to head to the kitchen, wanting to make a bountiful breakfast for her daughter.
At the company, she is the stern and decisive Chairman Wen.
Outside, to people like Xia Yubing, she was once seen as a high and mighty queen.
But at this moment, she was just an ordinary mother.
Wen Shulin opened the fridge, which was packed full of ingredients.
She took out some eggs, bacon, vegetables, and fruits, and began preparing breakfast.
She first started frying the bacon in a pan until it sizzled, then scrambled the eggs and poured them into the pan turning them into a golden omelette.
Next, she chopped the vegetables into small pieces, mixed them with fruits, and arranged them on a plate.
When Su Liya came out of the shower, Wen Shulin had already prepared the breakfast.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Su Liya smelled the aroma and walked to the dining table.
"Hurry up and eat, it’s all your favorites," said Wen Shulin with a smile.
Su Liya forked a piece of bacon and bit into it, "Mmm, delicious!"
Wen Shulin felt reassured watching her daughter eat with joy.
"Li Ya, mommy will definitely seek justice for you."
Su Liya asked, "What happened to him?"
"Li Hao? He was arrested last night."
Wen Shulin stood beside Su Liya, "Don’t worry, Professor Zhang is the best lawyer and will definitely keep you safe."
"Mommy, you are really good to me."
"You’re mommy’s daughter, if I’m not good to you, who else should I be good to?" Wen Shulin gently stroked Su Liya’s head.
"By the way, mommy! I want you to help me find someone," Su Liya offered a blueberry to Wen Shulin’s mouth.
Wen Shulin happily opened her mouth, knowing that no blueberry could probably be sweeter than one fed by her own daughter.
"Who?"
Su Liya: "The person who found the video. I want to thank him."
Wen Shulin’s smiling lips suddenly stiffened.
But she quickly recovered.
"This person is not in the country, mommy has already thanked him," Wen Shulin said calmly, "Don’t worry about it, just live your life happily from now on."
"That’s a shame..." Su Liya sounded a bit regretful before adding, "Okay then."
Wen Shulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Li Ya, if this matter is resolved, do you still want to study abroad?"
Su Liya shook her head like a rattle drum, "No, I just want to stay by mommy’s side."
"Shall I find you a school?"
"Sure!" Su Liya looked at her mother, "Mommy is the best!"
They embraced warmly again, and Wen Shulin’s tears couldn’t help but flow.
"Mommy, why are you crying again?" Su Liya looked up.
"This incident has served as a wake-up call for mommy. I’ll look after you more carefully in the future, and won’t let you get hurt again."
Su Liya nodded, "Mommy, I will also listen to you and not make you worry anymore."
"Good, let’s make a pinky promise."
"Pinky promise!" frёeωebɳovel.com
Wen Shulin hugged her beloved treasure, although she did not agree with her past actions, for her daughter she was everything.
"Li Ya, mommy loves you."
Su Liya snuggled into Wen Shulin’s embrace, "I love you too, mommy."
