Chapter 4 : Spoiled by My Own Mother

• Lan Zonghao remained calm and glanced at the nameplate on Wen Ning's professional attire, which read "Wen Ning" along with her job title.
• A designer?
• "Perhaps one day you will need help," Lan Zonghao said.
• With that, he led Lu Xiaoxiao and prepared to leave.
• Wen Ning caught a glimpse of Lu Xiaoxiao's reluctant eyes and almost couldn't resist the urge to spend more time with her.
• No, she came back this time to reclaim her mother's inheritance. She discovered that her mother had died under abnormal circumstances, and the whereabouts of these assets were unknown. She had to find out the truth.
• Her mother's death was definitely related to Wen Yirou and her daughter. Otherwise, why would her father, who loved her mother very much, quickly welcome Wen Yirou and her son into their home after her father's death? And recently, she discovered that the heir to her mother's inheritance was actually Wen Yirou!
• This was absolutely impossible!
• Lu Xiaoxiao was Wen Yirou's daughter, and she shouldn't waste too much emotion on her.
• After Lan Zonghao and the others left, Wen Ning looked at her son seriously and said, "Darling, do you think I can punch him as a reward the next time I see him and think of Wen Yirou?"
• Wen Yue couldn't help but laugh and cry at her mother's strange train of thought. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Why didn't you mention it earlier?"
• "He's too handsome. I forgot to think for a moment."
• Wen Ning stood up straight and said, "Let's go, darling."
• On the other side, Wen Yirou had prepared a bottle of red wine but didn't have a chance to drink it. Lu Xiaoxiao's disappearance caused chaos in the family.
• When Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, Wen Yirou smiled falsely and tried to take away the French fries she was holding.
• "I told you not to eat this junk food, but you insisted on eating it."
• Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Xiaoxiao bit Wen Yirou's hand.
• The clear blood mark showed how hard she had bitten.
• The piercing pain immediately made Wen Yirou let go of her hand, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She thought, "Damn white-eyed wolf, one day I'll get rid of you!"
• "Zonghao, look at this child. She never listens and even bites her own mother. Could she really have some kind of problem?" Wen Yirou said, trying to provoke Lan Zonghao.
• Lan Zonghao's displeasure was evident in his eyes, and his gaze towards Wen Yirou turned icy in an instant.
• As a mother, constantly insulting and repeatedly saying that her own child had a problem, he was extremely disgusted by this.
• But if it weren't for the sake of the child, he wouldn't have tolerated this woman until today.
• Lan Zonghao ignored her and turned to pick up Lu Xiaoxiao, heading towards the bedroom.
• ...
• Seeing the father and daughter together, Wen Yirou became even more furious.
• "Dad, I want Aunt Wen Ning."
• She felt a sense of panic in her heart, but she tried to maintain her composure on the surface. She smiled and said, "Zonghao, how do you know her?"
• Then she immediately started to slander Wen Ning.
• "She is my mother's sister. Because I came later, she wasn't very friendly to me. I didn't offend her, did I? In these five years, she has been fooling around outside and even had an illegitimate child!"
• "Shut up," Lan Zonghao's face darkened. "Don't talk nonsense in front of the child."
• For some reason, Lan Zonghao felt uncomfortable hearing these things.
• "It's getting late. Let's go to bed early." Lan Zonghao closed the bedroom door, leaving her alone outside.
• Lu Xiaoxiao saw this scene and couldn't help but smile. It served her bad mother right.
• After putting their daughter to sleep, Lan Zonghao came out and couldn't help but picture that woman in his mind—bold and carefree, making it hard for him to look away.
• He immediately took out his phone and gave an order, "Investigate Wen Ning's background for me."
• ...
• On the other side, Wen Ning brought Wen Yue to a high-end apartment with a good view in the city. "Son, we will settle down here from now on."
• Wen Yue got out of the car and walked into their new home with Wen Ning. The floor and location were excellent. Wen Yue, carrying two grocery bags, asked naturally, "Mom, what flavor of hot pot do you want for dinner tonight?"
• "Darling, come here, let Mommy hug you." Whenever Wen Ning lay lazily on the sofa and called Wen Yue with a soft voice like this, Wen Yue knew that his mother had something in mind.
• But what could he do? He would just spoil his own mother!
• Wen Yue sat on the sofa like a sweet pastry. "What's wrong, Mom?"
• "Darling, can you help Mommy search for the locations of the beggars' nests in Nancheng? I have a few portraits here. It would be best if you can find them accurately. Don't worry about dinner, Mommy will cook."
• "Mom, are you looking for Dad?" Wen Yue asked.
