Chapter 26: An Apology (2)

Since the conversation was interrupted, He Changchun asked in an unhappy tone, ”What's the matter?”
Though consumed with rage, Qiao Peiyu still managed to force a smile. ”Ha-ha. Zheng is really good at joking. They're on the other list.”
”Go and get it, along with the stock right certificate of He Zheng's shares in our company.” Trying hard to subdue his urge to open the casket and use the dragon scale to treat himself, He Changchun gazed at He Zheng with amiable eyes and said in a tender voice, ”Zheng, if you need anything – anything at all, feel free to tell me. Though you are going to marry into another family, you'll always be a member of He family.”
He Zheng had never heard He Changchun say this kind of words to him in his whole life. Instead of being touched, he felt them ironic.
'This old fox sold his own son so willingly, yet he still has the nerve to make this kind of remarks. Is it really because he cares for his good-for-nothing son who can't even cultivate that he's saying this? Or is he doing this to please Li Zong?'
It was such a no-brainer.
”I just want what's rightfully mine,” He Zheng smiled wryly, took those files, opened the car door and slammed the door shut as he got in, leaving the others facing the pitch-black door. He didn't even lower the car window a little.
Seeing that He Zheng had no sense to appreciate their ”kindness”, He Changchun was somewhat embarrassed, but what mattered the most to him was Li Zong's attitude, so he forced a smile and turned to talk to Li Zong.
After a couple of minutes, probably because the phantom-face sores on his body began to itch again, He Changchun had nothing more to say. Li Zong conveniently said his farewells and intended to leave with others.
Li Tiangang didn't get in the car, saying, ”Now that I've already come here, I'd like to take this opportunity to visit a couple of old friends of mine. Li Zong, you may go back home with Zheng first. Show him around and help him get acquainted with others.”
Before leaving, Li Zong reminded Li Tiangang to inform the driver to pick him up when he was ready to return. Then he got in the car.
In the car.
He Zheng was riding shotgun. Somebody had stuck a couple of small stickers with patterns of flowers on the car window. The edges of the stickers had curled, making a fairly ugly sight. He Zheng childishly reached out his hand to scratch them.
”Having a bad day?”
Li Zong's bland voice was heard. He Zheng withdrew his hand and gave a soft snort.
”These are prenuptial property. There's no need to notarize them.”
His words amused Li Zong somewhat. 'This kid knows about prenuptial property. He must have done quite some research.' Li Zong's guess was factually correct. The night before, He Zheng had a long talk with his bosom buddy on the phone consulting with him on these matters.
Li Zong didn't lay this bare. He flicked a glance at the watch around his wrist and said, ”Let's go and get a marriage certificate first. I'm afraid there's not enough time for a wedding banquet – if you insist, I can apply to the bureau for a marital leave, but the approval procedures might take a while. There have been a lot things going on recently.”
He was telling the truth. During their stay in the residence of He family, He Zheng had noticed that Li Zong had secretly hung up three or four calls.
