At the Chu Family House

Chu Yichen had gone back for dinner.

“Son, I heard that you’ve rejected Feifei. When will you ever produce some grandchildren for us?”

Chu Yichen’s mother, Bai Dong, was weighed down with worry. She was elegant, her husband had an extraordinary bearing, and her son was even more outstanding. But in spite of all that, her son was not interested in women.

It was her biggest anxiety.

Chu Yichen did not say anything. He was used to this sort of urging. If he did not want to get married, no one could force him.

Bai Dong issued an ultimatum.

“If you really do not wish to get married, then it’s your responsibility to at least produce two children via in-vitro. I’ll arrange the candidate for the children’s mother.”

Chu Yichen immediately stood up from his chair.

“I’m full. I’m going home.”

He put down his chopsticks and left the Chu family house with his men.

Bai Dong was so angry that her liver hurt. Her son was wonderful at everything, but he was so stubborn. She was helpless.

Chu Zhenting consoled his wife.

“All right, let your son decide on his own matters. Don’t get involved.”

Bai Dong was not convinced.

“I’m doing this for his own good. The Chu family has such a huge business, but he doesn’t even have a single woman by his side. Can we be at ease?”

Chu Zhenting was also worried.

“What can we do? The deal with the Bai family has already failed. You can’t force him to just marry any woman, right?”

Bai Dong recalled the past.

“If only things didn’t go so badly back then. It wasn’t easy to arrange a woman for him, and he even did it with her, but she was injured by the explosion.”

Chu Zhenting said, “Maybe that woman deflected a disaster for Yichen. Anyway, the Chu family won’t mistreat her.”

“You don’t have to tell me that. Anyway, she’s already awake. Let’s try plastic surgery first. If she recovers, who knows, we might have a grandchild soon.”

Outside

Chu Yichen got into the car. Every time he came back, it was always this old cliché. He was tired of hearing it.

He didn’t like children! He felt that his current life was very good. Even if he wanted to have kids, he would have them with a woman he liked, not use the children as a tool for succession.

He suddenly thought of the little girl he had seen today. After hugging her for a while, he could still recall the fragrance and softness of her small body.

That little girl even called him Daddy. Apparently he looked very similar to her father!

He smiled at the thought.

He must really be getting lonely. He was starting to think of women, and having children.

“Go to Imperial Palace.”

He instructed the chauffeur to drive back to the club. He should have a few drinks today to calm himself down.

In the apartment, Li An’an was calculating how much money she had left after deducting her daily expenses. She would save the money and use it as an education fund for her children in the future.

“An’an, there’s an exclusive club looking for wine pourers. Want to come?”

One of her old colleagues had called.

Li An’an was resistant. “No, I don’t really want to go to that sort of place.”

“An’an, don’t take this the wrong way, but you have such good assets; you need to be more open-minded. How are you going to earn money like this? Besides, it’s just pouring wine. Have you heard of the Imperial Palace Club? Those who can go there are all top-notch tycoons. You can earn 10,000 yuan an hour there. It’s a rare opportunity. Many university students work there part-time. It’s a very simple job, similar to a waitress. If the manager hadn’t said that they needed one more person, you wouldn’t even have had a chance. Don’t waste my good intentions.”

“How long will I have to work?”

“Just for an hour. They’re busy due to an event today. Those who get to attend it are one in a million.”

Li An’an was tempted—10,000 yuan wasn’t a small amount. It wouldn’t be a big deal if it was just pouring wine. The main point was that she needed money now.

“Okay, I’ll go!” For the sake of her children, she could put up with anything.
