263 Endless Regret
“You know very well how much money you’ve taken from the He family in the past two years! In fact, the profit from selling me, your daughter, is enough for the company to break even! I already returned the money you spent on me all these years. I don’t owe you anything anymore, so I want to live my own life now! Don’t bring up your matters to me…”
Without a doubt, the two of them quarreled again.
A few months later, Chen Wei’er discovered the speculations regarding her divorce. According to rumors, her infertility got her kicked out of the He family. Some even said Chen Wei’er was despised by the He family because she was fatherless. Her family was berated for being cheap.
During that period of time, Chen Anhe’s frustration didn’t only stem from Chen Wei’er’s stubbornness in divorcing He Xun. She also had to deal with negative public opinion. Offensive accusations were continuously hurled at them.
When Chen Wei’er learned about it, she felt guilty, but she still couldn’t apologize to her mother. Even when Chen Anhe passed away, Chen Wei’er did not make amends. There was only endless regret. But what was the use of that?
“Madam, you have good taste. This bag is our latest model. The whole body is made of crocodile skin, and the workmanship is delicate and silken. The designer of this bag has always been committed to making women look elegant and powerful, and this bag fits this concept very well…”
The staff was still explaining, but Chen Wei’er’s tears fell uncontrollably into her bag. Her heart was filled with regret from her previous life, and she wished she could return to the past and beat herself to death. She didn’t realize that her face was already covered in tears.
The female staff opened her mouth wide, “Madam He, what happened?”
“What’s wrong? Wifey, are you not feeling well?” He Xun held Chen Wei’er tightly in his arms in a panic and hurriedly wiped her tears. He didn’t know why his wife was crying all of a sudden.
“I’m fine,” Chen Wei’er assured and grabbed He Xun’s shirt. Her tears soaked the fabric. She choked as she said, “I got my tears on…”
“It’s alright, Madam He.” The staff handed over a few tissues.
“Let’s buy it,” Chen Wei’er said in a low voice.
He Xun lowered his head to coax her and nodded slightly. “Alright, I’ll buy it.”
Chen Wei’er shook her head. She wanted to personally buy the bag and give it to her mother.
The compensation and apology came a lifetime too late, and the person involved still knew nothing about it. However, Chen Wei’er still wanted to try her best to make up for it and fill the guilt in her heart.
“Then you buy it. I won’t fight with you.” He Xun could tell that this bag seemed to mean something to Chen Wei’er, but he didn’t ask, nor did he rush to pay. He didn’t lack patience. He thought that one day, Chen Wei’er would be willing to take the initiative to tell him the answer.
After buying the bag, it was already time for dinner. Chen Wei’er asked He Xun, “Are we going to the company to pick Mom up?”
“Yes, I’ve already made a reservation at a restaurant. Go and pick up Mom. I still have something else to do,” He Xun said.
“Did something happen at the company again? If you’re busy, you don’t have to rush over. Mom and I will be fine!” Chen Wei’er knew how busy He Xun was, so she naturally didn’t want to trouble him. Moreover, she was also willing to accompany her mother. She owed Chen Anhe too much.
“It’s not about the company. Go and pick up Mom.” He Xun only smiled but didn’t tell Chen Wei’er what the matter was.
Chen Wei’er was a little confused, but she still listened to him. After getting into the car, she rolled down the rear window. “If there’s anything, you have to tell me, or I’ll be worried.”
“Don’t worry, you will know.” He Xun touched Chen Wei’er’s hair and instructed the driver, “Be careful.”
After watching Chen Wei’er’s car leave, He Xun glanced at the location on his phone and drove to a certain place.
When Chen Wei’er arrived at Chen Anhe’s company, she saw a long line. The entrance was blocked by a long line of people, and she could not get in at all.
At this moment, a staff member who was in charge of maintaining order saw her and greeted her.
“Miss Chen, are you here to see President Chen?”
Chen Wei’er nodded.
“President Chen is in her office. Please follow me.” After speaking, the staff member patted the shoulder of the person who was blocking the entrance.
“I’m sorry, please make way.”
The person who was patted immediately became distressed, “What do you mean? I came here first! How could you bring people to cut the queue?! Is it because of connections? We’ve been waiting here the whole afternoon!”
“She’s President Chen’s daughter,” the staff clarified helplessly. “She’s not here to fight for a spot.”
“President Chen’s daughter? Chen Wei’er?” The lady’s eyes widened.
