Chapter 172 Finale (3)
The intensity was not properly measured.
Wen Baijing felt a little pain and rolled to the edge of the bed, almost falling off. He managed to grab the bed sheet and avoided falling on the carpet.
Wen Xiyue suddenly burst into tears.
The couple hurriedly changed their daughter's diaper, prepared milk powder and fed her water. After a lot of trouble, the child finally stopped crying, opened her big black and pure eyes, and danced with joy.
No matter how much I coaxed him, he refused to sleep.
Wen Baijing volunteered to sing a nursery rhyme for his daughter: "Don't be afraid, don't cry, go to sleep quickly, just listen to the song quietly..."
The soft Wu dialect and the gentle singing voice float in the quiet night, soft, sweet and sleep-inducing.
The deep voice was full of tenderness. Ye Zhenzhen fell asleep before her daughter. She still slept facing her daughter. Wen Baijing covered his wife and daughter with a blanket and quietly lay back on the bed.
He lay on his side on the bed, supporting his head with his elbow, staring at his wife and daughter beside him. He maintained that posture for a long, long time, until the corners of his eyes became sore before his arms.
Wen Baijing put down his arms, lay back beside the pillow, put his arms around his wife, buried his face in her hair, and lived in Ye Zhenzhen's gentle and colorful dream.
Ye Zhenzhen turned over unconsciously and crawled into his arms, like a vine, entwining him and whispering in her sleep: "Hubby, I love you..."
Wen Baijing raised his head, tried to open his eyes wide, tried to hold back his tears, and said in a low and forbearing voice: "Wife, I love you too."
During that time, the couple chatted whenever they had nothing to do, and they were almost transparent in front of each other.
One day in the drawer of the study, Ye Zhenzhen saw several photos, her graduation photos from elementary school to high school.
She held the photo and looked at it for a long time. The little girl who was determined to stay in Jiangnan had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and always wore a high ponytail that exposed her forehead, without a single strand of hair left out.
The old photos had long turned yellow with time, but the photos in the drawer looked very new. She restored the photos to their original state, closed the drawer, and left the study quietly.
It was a sunny day with east wind, and the swallows came back. Sitting on the swing in the garden, the two felt quite out of touch with the world.
Wen Baijing asked whether Mubo deliberately opened a store diagonally opposite Zhichu when it entered Intime.
Ye Zhenzhen leaned on Wen Baijing's shoulder, raised her hands to cover her eyes, and said self-deprecatingly: "I paid for that position and paid a bribe of 100,000 yuan, but Zhongli still doesn't know about it..."
The store was opened for profit, not for personal gain, but Ye Zhenzhen paid out of her own pocket to get closer to Wen Baijing. No matter how sober she was, her obsession with Wen Baijing had never changed.
Mubo is equivalent to a miscellaneous brand with no brand sedimentation and accumulation. During the prosperous period of the real economy, if it wanted to enter the shopping mall, according to the unspoken rules of the industry, it had to pay money to enter. Not only did it have to give kickbacks to relevant personnel, but it also had to give 1% of annual sales as a reward every year.
Originally, she couldn't afford to spend that much money. The location arranged by the shopping mall was too far from Zhichu. If Ye Zhenzhen wanted to choose the location, she had to spend money.
Wen Baijing has been in the business world for a long time and knows all about the ways of the world. He was not surprised that Ye Zhenzhen spent money to enter Yintai. He pinched her chin and gently lifted it up, touching her lips like a dragonfly touching water, teasing, "You use all your little cleverness to fall in love, right?"
Ye Zhenzhen leaned on his shoulder and smiled. She felt a little embarrassed that her little thoughts were seen through. "I thought you didn't know about this."
Wen Baijing chuckled: "Isn't the name Mubo a blatant hint to me?"
Ye Zhenzhen buried her head in his arms, looking shy, and argued stubbornly: "No, I just like this name."
Wen Baijing stroked her back and smiled knowingly: "At that time, I always thought that you, a fool, were quite romantic. Later, every time I inspected the store, I never saw you. I knew you were deliberately avoiding me."
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly raised her head and asked seriously, "Aren't you afraid that I will spend the money on wine and women? And keep a gigolo for no reason?"
Wen Baijing played with her slender fingers, feeling particularly confident: "I know you won't do such a thing, and I also understand that you have been waiting for me."
Ye Zhenzhen put her legs on his legs, interlocked their fingers, and said affectionately: "I know you love me very much. I was ignorant before, always blaming you, always hoping that you would prove it with words. I was too superficial at that time."
Wen Baijing was a little relieved, and said with the tolerance of an elder: "You have finally grown up."
Ye Zhenzhen frowned, feeling that there was something else behind the words: "Are you saying that I was childish before?"
Wen Baijing raised his eyebrows without comment. He couldn't hold back his laughter, so he could only turn his head away and smile secretly.
After resuming work, Ye Zhenzhen and Zhong Li actively devoted themselves to work, and the children were left in the care of a nanny. Ye's father and mother occasionally came to Bailuyuan for a short stay, and Zhongli's mother also came to help take care of her grandson after retirement.
Mu Bo has accumulated a lot of fans. With the rapid development of the Internet in recent years, Mu Bo's live broadcast business has been getting better and better.
They also followed the industry trend and started pre-sale. According to the number of orders from fans, they took samples to small factories for production and processing. Later, when the number of orders increased, they chose to cooperate with Zhichu, which has a complete production line. In recent years, affected by the Internet, traditional manufacturing has gradually declined. Wen Baijing couldn't bear to let thousands of employees lose their jobs, and the factory was still barely maintaining. Although Mubo's orders were not large, it could relieve the pressure on the factory to some extent.
Zhichu also started live streaming on various platforms, but as a brand, it is under great pressure of inventory.
Fortunately, Wen Baijing's MCN agency caught the trend and made a lot of money. They signed contracts with content-oriented KOLs and incubated a group of rural Internet celebrities. Their bloggers do not skirt the line, do not PK, and do not sell three-no products. The agency actively participates in public welfare and subsidizes students in poor mountainous areas.
The couple keeps a low profile in private and donates anonymously to charity.
The first floor of the Mubo main store is still open, and the second floor has been converted into a studio for live broadcasting. Ye Zhenzhen and Zhongli need to contact manufacturers and handle trivial matters. Usually, they broadcast live during the day, and the store staff broadcast live at night. Occasionally, when the live broadcast room is doing well, she is reluctant to stop broadcasting, and Wen Baijing will come to make trouble, and give gifts in the live broadcast room at any time, causing many girls in the live broadcast room to chat with Wen Baijing privately, which makes Ye Zhenzhen so angry that he asks him to cancel his account overnight.
Well, she's still jealous.
Wen Baijing really enjoyed her jealousy, and he didn't know what was going on behind it.
Wen Xiyue has a sweet appearance, is a lovely and clever little girl, and her laughter is as sweet as a silver bell wherever she goes. Wen Baijing couldn't bear to let her learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horse riding, golf, etc. at such a young age. In order to give her a good childhood, except for attending classes in a private kindergarten, she was left to her own devices before the age of five.
Wen Xiyue looks quiet and gentle, but has an extremely lively and active personality. He often holds a small net bag and stands by the pond in the garden to catch fish.
When the little girl was not allowed to fish, she cried at the top of her lungs. Worried that she might be in danger, the two nannies followed her closely.
As soon as the koi in the pond saw her coming, they sank to the bottom and could not be coaxed out even with fish food.
Ye Zhenzhen came home after finishing work, parked the car, and just as she walked into the front yard she heard her daughter's lively laughter, so she walked towards the garden.
Wen Xiyue's hair was half loose, one of his trouser legs was rolled up, his sleeves were rolled up at his elbows, his chubby little hands were holding the net bag, and he lowered his head to stare at the fish in the pond intently.
Fearing that her daughter might fall into the water, Ye Zhenzhen walked towards her daughter. She suppressed her anger and tried her best to smile: "Diandian, mom is back..."
Wen Yuyao knew his mother's temper and was afraid of being scolded, so when he saw his mother coming back, he dropped the net bag and ran towards the stone bridge.
Ye Zhenzhen was worried that her daughter would fall, so she didn't dare to run after her. She could only hurry after her, "Slow down..."
Wen Yuyue turned around and made a face at her, ignored her, turned around and ran forward on his own.
Wen Baijing stayed at home on weekends. His business was stable, and he would push away or avoid unnecessary social events. Unlike other businessmen in the circle who had three wives and four concubines, he did not have those bad habits and could be considered to be self-disciplined. He had no interest in the beautiful women who came up to him. He did not like beauty when he was young, and he still did not like it when he was middle-aged.
He understood better than anyone that there would never be another fool like Ye Zhenzhen.
Wen Baijing was sitting under the corridor, handling emails on his computer while taking care of his daughter. Seeing his daughter staggering towards him from a distance, he put the computer aside, stood up with a smile, bent down and opened his arms to his daughter.
Wen Yuyue laughed and threw himself into his father's arms, kissed Wen Baijing on the face, and complained aggrievedly: "My mother wants to beat me."
Ye Zhenzhen supported herself on her lower back with one hand, and walked slowly towards him, panting a little: "When did I hit you? You are not obedient at all, you really deserve to be beaten."
After taking a breath, he said to Wen Baijing, "Why didn't you take good care of her at home? Diandian just fell into the pond a few days ago."
A few days ago, Wen Yuyue fell into the pond while fishing, and her body and face were covered with mud, with only her teeth remaining white. When Ye Zhenzhen saw her, her eyes went dark, and she was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot.
Facing his wife and daughter, Wen Baijing couldn't afford to offend anyone. He just held his daughter in his arms with a fatherly smile on his face, without saying a word or taking sides.
Wen Yuyue smiled mischievously, and said in a soft and sticky voice: "The scar on Dad's leg was caused by Mom, right?"
The couple looked at each other and after a few seconds of silence, they both smiled at the same time, their happy smiles carrying a hint of relief.
Wen Baijing pinched her daughter's rosy cheeks and coaxed her patiently, "Don't say that to mom. Dad was too naughty and hurt his leg, so you have to be obedient and be careful not to get hurt."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little jealous and said sourly: "My daughter only sticks to you and is not close to me at all."
Wen Baijing smiled and coaxed her: "People say that daughters are their mothers' little cotton-padded jackets. Nannan is still young now."
Ye Zhenzhen approached the father and daughter and straightened her daughter's sleeves and trouser legs. Wen Weiyue lay on his father's shoulder, tilted his head, gently shook his chubby legs, and hummed a nursery rhyme innocently.
Wen Baijing held his daughter's ponytail which was about to come loose, feeling a little helpless, and looked at his wife for help.
Ye Zhenzhen immediately understood and smiled helplessly. She took the end of her daughter's hair, smoothed it, tied it into a ponytail, and said with a smile, "She is so naughty, I don't know who she looks like?"
Wen Baijing smiled and took the initiative to embrace him: "Like me, I was very naughty when I was a child."
"Brother-in-law, you don't know that my sister was not much better than Diandian when she was a child."
Ye Mao came to deliver seafood and nuts, and when he walked into the garden he happened to meet the family of three.
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and glanced at Ye Mao, a little helpless: "Don't buy her a princess dress anymore, okay? She can't move freely in the dress."
"You won't buy it for her and you won't let me buy it. That's unreasonable."
The brother and sister couldn't help bickering whenever they met.
Ye Mao walked up to Wen Baijing and smiled as he revealed Ye Zhenzhen's past: "Brother-in-law, in 15, Ye Zhenzhen returned to her hometown, and returned to Yuncheng a few days later. Do you know why she came back so soon?"
Wen Baijing glanced at Ye Zhenzhen and asked with a smile, "Why?"
Ye Mao laughed wildly: "She was driven to the peach orchard by her father to work. After picking peaches for a whole day, she had allergies all over her body, and then she came back in disgrace with her tail between her legs."
Wen Baijing touched her shoulder and teased with a smile: "Didn't you come back because of me? From what Ye Mao said, you came back because you were lazy."
Ye Zhenzhen suffered a blow that year and felt a little bit hopeless. After completing the flower arrangement course which lasted for more than two months, she did not fully recover. She planned to go back to her hometown to visit. Seeing her hesitant, Ye's father got angry and thought she was too pretentious, so he took her to the orchard to pick peaches.
In the scorching heat of over 30 degrees, Ye Zhenzhen was covered in peach fuzz, scratched all over, and had a severe allergy. She went to the clinic overnight to get an IV drip to save her life.
The pretentiousness disappeared in an instant.
The next morning, she flew back to Yuncheng without stopping.
Ye Zhenzhen blushed, took Wen Baijing's arm, smiled innocently, and defended herself, "I came back to open a shop, don't listen to his nonsense."
Wen Baijing looked at his wife with a smile, not quite believing it, but he didn't expose her.
Father Ye came over carrying a handmade wooden horse with a simple smile, saying that he made it for his granddaughter.
Wen Xiyue jumped off Wen Baijing, took the wooden horse from his grandfather, and said thank you to his grandfather obediently.
The orchard in his hometown was rented out to someone else. After Ye Zhenzhen gave birth to a child, Ye's father came to live in Yuncheng. He was bored and had no old friends to chat with, so he went fishing every day, carrying a folding chair and a fishing rod, going out early and returning late.
That day, Ye Mao privately handed Ye Zhenzhen a card. Ye Zhenzhen was puzzled and chased Ye Mao to ask the reason.
At the end of 2012, Wen Baijing invested in Ye Mao to open a store. Worried that Ye Zhenzhen would think too much, he specifically asked Ye Mao to keep it strictly confidential.
Ye Zhenzhen and Wen Baijing broke up in May 2015. Ye Mao had just opened a new store and had just paid for a house. Wang You was pregnant, and Ye Mao could not raise that much money to pay back Wen Baijing at that time.
Ye Mao was going to pay him back in the second half of 2015, but Wen Baijing refused to accept the money. He only said to Ye Mao that the money was considered as Ye Zhenzhen's investment, and how the profits should be divided was up to the two of you to decide.
In the following years, Ye Mao bought a car and a house, and built a new house in his hometown. He needed sufficient working capital to do business. Knowing that Ye Zhenzhen had money, Ye Mao never mentioned this matter.
Later, Ye Zhenzhen and Wen Baijing reconciled and quickly got married. Not long after, the world experienced a virus sweeping across the country. Ye Mao's business was not very good at that time, but now he has finally survived and his business is gradually stabilizing.
Ye Mao said that the profits would be split 50-50 between Ye Zhenzhen, and the money was all in the card, so Ye Zhenzhen should keep it for emergencies.
"Sister, you and your brother-in-law broke up at that time, but he still considered everything for you. Don't be so willful in the future and be nice to him."
Ye Zhenzhen then realized that Ye Mao did not use the pension of Wang You's father to open the store, and that Wang You's heart disease surgery fee was also paid by Wen Baijing.
She held the bank card tightly and was speechless for a long time.
