BHBF Chapter 69.2

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 69.2: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (52)

Zheng Yaozu nodded, but when he saw the bill, he felt upset again.

High-end coffee shops are expensive, but in order to pick up rich women, these are necessary expenses. Zheng Yaozu gritted his teeth and paid the bill. He held the watch in his hand, thinking that maybe it was time to sell it.

Zheng Yaozu made a few more phone calls, all to Shao Mingzhu’s old friends, but most of them were unwilling to answer his calls, and most of them simply blocked him. Occasionally, there were one or two who were willing to answer the phone, but after asking about Shao Mingzhu’s recent situation, they would hang up the phone.

But he met a girl who told him the truth: “If it weren’t for Shao Mingzhu, who would want to pay attention to you.”

Shao Mingzhu’s group of close friends had always flirted with him, so Zheng Yaozu had always believed that they were all secretly in love with the handsome him. But now he realized that it was all because of Shao Mingzhu, Shao Mingzhu only had superficial close friends.

Now that the Shao family has gone bankrupt, these superficial best friends naturally don’t want to bother with Zheng Yaozu anymore.

After wandering around all day, Zheng Yaozu returned to Song Yuqing’s house.

Song Yuqing rents a house in a high-end residential area. Before the Shao family went bankrupt, both she and Zheng Yaozu had no worries about food and clothing, but neither of them had their own property.

Now that the Shao family has gone bankrupt, the two have lost their source of income and are unable to even rent this house.

When Song Yuqing saw Zheng Yaozu, she was affectionate for a while. However, after that, the two of them lay side by side on the bed. Song Yuqing seemed to be worried and said, “Xiao Lei is already eight years old and still can’t go to school. He doesn’t have a household registration, so he has to pay a lot of money to go to school.”

Zheng Yaozu didn’t care about his daughter, but he cared a lot about his son. Hearing this, he immediately said, “Wait a little longer. I will definitely find a way.”

Song Yuqing did not urge him, but said sympathetically: “I believe in you. You are so capable, there must be a way.”

What Zheng Yaozu liked most was Song Yuqing’s flattery. When he was in the Shao family, he always felt that he had to rely on Shao Yu’s life every day, but here he felt that he was Song Yuqing’s sky.

He enjoyed Song Yuqing’s admiration very much, so he was a little flattered and said, “I have taken a lot of things from the Shao family over the years. Although the Shao family went bankrupt, they still gave me this to compensate me when we divorced.”

It was obvious that he had used all means to obtain the watch, but in his mouth, it became an active compensation from the Shao family.

Song Yuqing did not expose him, but said: “This ladies’ watch is very beautiful.”

Although Song Yuqing recognized this watch, she pretended to be seeing it for the first time and showed great surprise.

Zheng Yaozu seemed to be pleased by her surprise. He put his precious watch on Song Yuqing’s wrist and said, “It’s really beautiful.”

Song Yuqing was wearing a watch worth several million dollars, and she felt a little bit high-strung.

Zheng Yaozu added: “I will think of a solution in the next two days. If it still doesn’t work, I will sell the watch. After all, the most important thing is for the child to study.”

Song Yuqing paused when she heard this, but soon she carefully took off the watch and said, “You should keep this important thing. I’m afraid it might get bumped or scratched.”

Zheng Yaozu liked her ability to know when to advance and when to retreat, and said, “You are so thoughtful and considerate. I’ll leave this watch with you first. If there is no other way, our family will leave Shencheng and return to my hometown. My parents can help you take care of the child. With these millions, we can give Xiaolei the best education. If we spend frugally, we can even send him abroad.”

Although Zheng Yaozu did not have a job after graduating from a prestigious university, he knew the importance of education. After all, it was he who met Shao Mingzhu in college, which enabled him to enjoy ten years of wealth and prosperity.

He himself had never struggled, and of course he had no intention of forcing his son to do so. He only wanted his son to marry a rich daughter-in-law in the future so that they could continue to live a good life.

After hearing his arrangement, Song Yuqing lowered her head and did not respond. She just found a box and carefully put the watch away.

Zheng Yaozu had been busy all day and was already very tired. Song Yuqing brought him a glass of milk and then gave him a gentle massage. Soon, Zheng Yaozu fell into a deep sleep.

When Zheng Yaozu woke up again, it was dark outside. He reached beside him but only felt the child’s thin shoulders.

“Yuqing, pour me a glass of water.” Zheng Yaozu said.

But no one answered him.

Zheng Yaozu turned on the bedside lamp reluctantly. He was sleepy at first, but gradually he became dumbfounded.

Most of the house was empty.

The person lying next to him was not Song Yuqing, but their son Zheng Xiaolei.

Zheng Xiaolei was only eight years old and was sleeping soundly beside him.

“Yuqing?”

Zheng Yaozu shouted again, but still no one responded. His heart sank.

Zheng Yaozu seemed to be unconvinced. He got up and searched the house, but he couldn’t find Song Yuqing. He called her but her phone was turned off. There was no message left on her phone, but she took away all the valuables.

Zheng Yaozu rushed to the place where he kept the watch yesterday, but it was already empty.
