797: Interrogation by Mr. Xiao

Interrogation by Mr. Xiao

Gu Juexi's expression was gloomy. Little Xixi blinked her big eyes, jumped into his arms and said 'Daddy' over and over.2

His mood improved instantly. Daughters were the best! As for sons, they belonged in the trash can.

At dinner time, Ye Yuwei finally surfaced. She went upstairs to ask Gu Juexi whether he wanted to have his dinner upstairs or downstairs. Ye Xicheng tagged along with his mommy, glaring at his daddy warningly.

Gu Juexi could only try to control his anger. He growled that he would be having his dinner downstairs.

Meanwhile, at the domestic arrival hall of the B City International Airport.

PA Wen looked charming in his suit. He didn't wear his glasses today, so he emitted a different vibe of handsome.

Xiao Yaojing leaned against the railing and smirked. "It's not like you're meeting your in-laws, why are you so dressed up?"

PA Wen looked at Xiao Yaojing. He appeared calm and collected on the surface but after listening to that wicked little fairy, his heart beat a little faster. He composed himself with a light cough. "I am a professional with a code of ethics."

Xiao Yaojing snorted, "You? Professional? Ethics? You are—"

"Jingjing—" Xiao Yaojing hadn't even finished her sentence when a lady rushed out of the arrival hall, shouting for her daughter. The lady immediately focused her gaze on PA Wen. She pushed Xiao Yaojing away when she went to hug her, and looked at PA Wen with adoring eyes. "Were you the guy who took my call the other day?"

"Yes, it was me. I am sorry, Auntie, at that moment we had some issues to handle so I had to hang up on you. I am very, very sorry," PA Wen said politely.

Xiao Yaojing's father helped her steady herself after her mother's push. She wanted to punch PA Wen to death upon hearing what he said.

Mrs. Xiao listened to PA Wen's explanation with a satisfied expression. She took PA Wen's hand and said with a mysterious smile, "I understand. I've been there, I know."

"Mom! What do you understand? We are just—"

"You are very rude! Me and—"

"Auntie, my name is Wen Tao. Wen from the word 'culture' Wen Hua, Tao from the idiom Bo Tao Zhuang Kuo[1]," PA Wen informed quickly.

Xiao Yaojing could only stare at him, dumbfounded.

"Can't you see I am talking to Xiao Wen? Stop jumping in," Mrs. Xiao scolded, then turned to Wen Tao, "Our daughter is quite a handful, it must be tough for you at times,"

"No, Jingjing is very nice," Wen Tao smiled and said. He helped Mr. Xiao with the luggage and led them to the outside of the airport.

Xiao Yaojing followed behind, fuming. Anyone looking at the people in front talking and laughing would think she was the unloved daughter-in-law of the family.

PA Wen drove his own car today instead of Gu Juexi's flashy Phantom. Actually, his car was a first-class level flagship car as well.

"Xiao Wen, is this car yours?" asked Mr. Xiao the minute he entered the car.

"Dad, why are you asking?" Xiao Yaojing tugged her father's sleeve to make him stop talking.

PA Wen put the luggage neatly in the trunk, got into the car then said, "Yes, I use it for the daily commute."

"It is quite expensive, isn't it?" Mr. Xiao continued.

"It is within my affordable price range," PA Wen answered with a smile. He started driving after Mr. Xiao put his seatbelt on.

Mr. Xiao was very pleased with PA Wen's answers. He had asked those questions intentionally to see if this charming young man was pompous or egotistical.
