Chapter 25 - Morning tantrum

Ring! Her phone rang. Wan Jia glanced at the string of digits she would recognize anywhere even with her eyes closed. Why would Lu Aotian call her?

She took a deep breath.

"Hey, Lu Aotian!"

"Are you too busy?" He asked in his deep sexy voice.

"Mmh…not really, is something up?"

"Yeah, can you come over and look after Little Jia? She's crying for you."

Her baby! She would run to her immediately even if she was in the north pole. Without even hanging up, she took a quick shower, stuffed some stationery into a satchel and left the house.

Much to her surprise, a black Maybach was waiting when she got downstairs. He had already sent someone over to pick her? How thoughtful.

At the same time, Southside Villas.

Lu Aotian sat at the dining table with a serious expression. Little Jia was sitting beside him on her raised chair with her tiny legs dangling under the table.

"Eat." The little girl ignored him.

"I already called her over." The girl turned her face to the side. She was not giving her father any face.

Lu Aotian scooped some cereal in milk and brought it near her mouth.

"Waaaaa…" she started wailing from nowhere. She hit the spoon with her fist and swept the entire bowl onto the floor as she bawled her big eyes out.

Lu Aotian "…'

The butler and maids at the side "…"

Today they were really done for. Even though their master had never disagreed with the Little Miss, they had all seen him become quite the King of hell when anyone offended him.

Was he going to shout at the Little Miss? After all she had thrown a tantrum all morning and even being at the dining table was a result of her father forcefully carrying here there and glaring at her when she wanted to leave.

Just as Lu Aotian was about to lose patience,

"Mommy!" Little Jia jumped down and bolted like an arrow towards Wanjia who had just stepped into the house.

"My baby!" Wan Jia took the little girl in her arms and kissed her soft cheeks. She hadn't thought that Little Jia was literally crying…

"Your mother is here. Can you have breakfast now?" Lu Aotian's cold voice interrupted them.

Wan Jia "Eer…'

Why did it seem like they were fighting? How rare…

"Waaaaa…" Little Jia cried even harder and buried her head into Mommy's shoulder for comfort.

Wan Jia's heart clenched. She looked at Lu Aotian

"What happened?" It was a half shout, as though she was blaming him.

"She missed you so she's throwing a…"

"Daddy bullied me! Bad Daddy bullied me!"

Lu Aotian '…'

What happened to 'Little Jia loves Daddy the most'? He was now the bad guy.

Wan Jia patted her baby's back lightly as she consoled her.

"I won't let Daddy bully you again, okay? Mommy is here, don't cry anymore."

"Daddy is bad." She slurred in an adorable coarse voice as she rubbed her eyes.

"Yes yes Daddy is bad. Daddy is the worst. I'll feed you breakfast okay?' She nodded

"Mmm Mommy is the best."

She proceeded to feed her.

Lu Aotian "…."

He had been completely ignored. Little Jia only had to cry and act wronged to receive so many kisses, hugs and was even being fed breakfast while he… hehe.. all he had received was a glare and not even a 'good morning' greeting. Would he make it if he cried too?

When his two precious girls were settled, Lu Aotian left for work. He still hard an antivirus to launch in one week and the people opposing him were becoming more and more daring. First, it was the failed collaboration with GX Technologies. The other party must have realized that Lu Aotian had outsmarted them. This time they even went as far as to try to bribe his younger brother to steal from him.

Even though they were just half brothers, Lu Aotian and Lu Shaoting had mutual respect for each other and although they did not pass as close brothers in the public eye, they were more loyal to each other than anyone could ever be.

The other part had used such flowery words and even promised to Make Lu Shaoting the head of Lu Enterprise if he helped them topple Lu Aotian. Little did they know that while Lu Shaoting was not the head of the Software subsidiary, He did not pale too much in comparison to his brother. Hiding his strength and letting him work behind the scenes was the brothers' way of luring their enemies.

"Brother, I hacked the anonymous email they sent me and it's indeed from General Yun's person."

"The nerve of that man." Lu Aotian looked ahead coldly.

"He should pick on someone his own age. Doesn't he feel any shame fighting with someone of the younger generation?"

"We need a plan to shut him down once and for all." Lu Aotian declared.

"I suggest we investigate and expose all his dirty deals."

"That would put Wanwan in danger."

"What's this got to do with sister-in-law?"

"There's a possibility that Wanwan is his biological daughter."

"What?" Lu Shaoting almost fainted. Wanjia was General Yun's daughter? It would be especially funny if she was the daughter of the man whose daughter she impersonated.

…..

In a secret underground winery

"You know why I called you here, don't you?"

The woman before General Yun shivered like a kitten soaked in ice cold water despite the warm temperature.

"Yes… she… our daughter…she's still in school. Can I bring her over after her graduation?"

"Bring her tomorrow!"

"But…her studies…"

"I want to use her! That's more important!"

"But Yun, she…"

"Do you want to die?" He roared

The woman scurried away.

The man swirled the red wine in his glass.

"Lu Aotian! Golden CEO, huh? Let's see how you manage to escape this."
