Ch16 - A bunch of really complicated family relationships (1/2)
2.7 – A bunch of really complicated family relationships
translator: xiin
This was not the first time Xue Ling has met Mr. Cole Owens.
He received his business card as early as two years ago before he left H country. Over the past two years, the two of them also ‘ran into each other’ several times, often at the same functions. Although they never had a proper conversation, Xue Ling had a deep impression of this man.

This morning’s cooperation talks was just with him. This gentleman is the * boss behind the international conglomerate. To be exact, this man was filthy rich. He was a noble and business tycoon from Country E, powerful enough to take over Country E’s economy.
This kind of existence could easily influence the world economy in modern society, but it seemed like he had no particular goals and only expanded slowly. In recent years, his development goals have transferred to Country M, and the top management of the company frequently flew in and out…
Xue Ling always felt that this person was dangerous, and that it would be better to stay away. So although they saw each other frequently, he seldom takes the initiative to start a conversation.
Even so, news and rumours about this person always reached him. What he said at the start about being the director of Zugeji Conservatory of Music was not a lie – his family funded more than half of the college. They were also one of the major sponsors of the competition that Xue Ling participated in, so it wasn’t hard for him to get his information.
Now, carefully thinking back, why did it seem like he was everywhere?
And that little girl!
Wen Mo turned his head, saw Xue Ling and clearly relaxed. He stood up, smiling at the little girl. “My uncle has come to pick me up and I can’t play with you anymore. I’m sorry.”

Elaine shook her head, cheeks rosy. “Is that beautiful big brother your uncle? He looks really good! Can I be friends with him?”
Wen Mo silently looked towards Xue Ling.
Xue Ling curved his lips, squatted down and looked down at the little girl, taking the little hand that she extended to him and kissing it in greeting. “It is my pleasure to be friends with such a beautiful lady.”
The little girl’s eyes were bright and she seemed to be a little flattered by the kiss. She turned her head towards Mr. Cole Owens, but unexpectedly found that Cole seemed in a bad mood.
Whatever.
“My name is Elaine, and you are?” Although she is only three years old, her speech was perfectly clear. Elaine, full of noble airs, also tried to restrain the happy expression on her round little face to not let her excitement show too much. “You look like me…”
Xue Ling nodded. “Yes, we look very alike. My name is Wen Xiuyuan. It’s nice to meet you, Miss Elaine.”
Doctor Walter came out of the kitchen and was surprised to see such a scene. “Mr. Wen is here too. It’s rare to have so many people be here at the same time.”
“Hello, doctor.” Xue Ling turned around, lightly touching Wen Mo’s head. He helped him sort out his clothes, picked up his small backpack and was ready to leave, “I’m here to bring Momo back.”
Dr. Walter nodded. “Wen Mo’s situation is getting better and better recently. I didn’t expect him to even play with Elaine.”

Xue Ling glanced at the silent Wen Mo, laughingly saying, “Elaine is so beautiful, anyone would like her. Wen Mo naturally is no exception.”
Elaine already ran to Cole, pulling on his clothes and clambering up. In contrast to how good she normally behaves, she was surprisingly mischievous today. “Cole, Cole, elder brother Wen said I was beautiful.”
Mr. Cole kissed her forehead and quietly answered, “Don’t call him brother, call him uncle.”
“Eh?” The little girl hesitated for a moment. “But brother is younger than my uncle.”

There was a hint of laughter in his eyes as Mr. Cole touched the little girl’s head. He stood up with her in his arms. “Dr. Walter, I think we should leave now.”
“Huh?” Dr. Walter was stunned. “Already?”
“I have another engagement with Elaine tonight. We need to go back and get ready.”
“Well, I hope your engagement goes well.” Dr. Watt handed a case report to Xue Ling. “These are Wen Mo’s notes. He can already integrate perfectly with society and doesn’t need to come back anymore. From now on, you only need to pay attention to his mood on a daily basis and not be too hasty.”
“Good.”
Cole walked past them with Elaine in his arms, but his feet slowed down at Elaine’s urging.
Xue Ling feels someone’s stare locking on himself again…

“Beautiful elder brother, if little brother is not coming here anymore, will I be able to see you again?”
Xue Ling looked at the lovely little girl in her arms, let out a small sigh, and took out a business card from his business card holder. He wrote out a telephone number and handed it to the little girl. “Here’s my business card and my personal phone number. You can call me anytime.”
Elaine happily accepted the business card, then reached over and gave Xue Ling a kiss.
Ah, Cole seemed to be angry again?
Cole carried Elaine and walked ahead, with Xue Ling following behind. Even before they entered their car, he felt that it was familiar…
He seemed to have seen the car somewhere, or in fact, seen it at many places…
The driver had no idea why the boss emitted cold air as soon as he got into the car. He shivered and drove the car out before asking: “Sir… Where are we going?”
