Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 25: Each With Their Own Worries



Chapter 25: Each With Their Own Worries

[POV Hu Qiang]

Last night after Xiao Wei's lessons with Bai Chang, we played scrabble and ate ramen from bowls like any normal family.

'Family', How precious this entity is?

I only came to realise after I came too close to losing Bai Chang.

This second time is my path to redemption. I do not want to waste this opportunity. But all good things come to an end.

This time it is not so dramatic but today I have to go to the office to earn 'bread and butter' for my family. While I do not want to part from her.

After an early breakfast, I took Xiao Wei and parted our ways from her to give her some space.

'That boy is still sulking in a corner and testing me as his greatest enemy.'

"Xiao Wei, understand your father's words, we can't press your mother too hard with our company or it will backfire on us. You do not want your mother to perceive you as an annoying and clingy brat. Now do you?"

His response to this is simply giving me an eye-roll.

"Young man, we need to work on your etiquette classes again."

"Can I skip it?" he is still pouting and sulking in a corner.

"No"

Though it is harsh for a child to bear, if not taught well and disciplined early he would grow up to be a wild child.

"Where are you sending me now?"

"You are coming with me to the office."

The cute boy's eyes flew wide open in shock, "WHY?"

Apparently too agitated

"Because your grandma and grandpa are busy with some matters."

"Why am I being punished by you?"

"It is simple babysitting; you don't have to be overdramatic about it."

"Ohh"

"Tell you what, you can bring with you something from your mother's library to read and I will give you something after observing your entire week's conduct."

"What am I getting this time around? Please do not tell me it is another class enrollment form."

(Well the boy cannot be blamed. I did scam him into various classes passing them off as rewards for his good conduct)

"No this time it is different. You would like it but this depends on your entire week's conduct, only if it is satisfactory would you get your rewards.

"You are not deceiving me. Are you?"

"No, I am not."

"You promise"

"I do" (Ohhh... this child is learning fast.)

We left Bai Chang's Villa and went to mine.

There I dressed Xiao Wei and we left for office. The entire way I am greeted by silence from this 'Little Buddha' of mine.

While I am lost on how to approach Bai Chang. After spending two days with her, I am sure of the fact that she has goodwill for us but does not really relate to us. She is just being polite but not being too obvious about it to us.

It pains me to see this but it also has something to do with her having no shadow of memory about us being romantic.

I also have to answer to her, how we conceived Xiao Wei.

She didn't ask me yet.

It would be a lie if I said I am not nervous.

I am freaked out thinking about her reaction. I really wish she won't run for 'The Hills' after knowing about that matter.

[POV Bai Chang]

After both, the father and son duo left, I called in Zhang Wei to my study on the ground floor.

"Good morning, Bai Chang"

"Morning Zhang Wei, it's time to get down to business. How is our team? What's their progress?"

(After recruiting the entire security Co-Ops team, I named them 'Team Charlie'. I also bought a farmhouse in the outskirts of the city under a different name and changed the interiors into a hard-core training ground.

I asked them to first shift there and undergo a specific training regime. Currently, it's been a week they are following the designed regime strictly.

I named them Alpha; Beta; Charlie; Gamma; Delta and Eta.

While Zhang Wei is 'Charlie', the main commander of the team. While the rest were put through physical training.)

"Okay let them prepare for a few more weeks, while I would teach you some of my tech stuff so that when you are in a mission or under any troubling situation you are never blind while you yourself are invisible to others around you.

We have to prepare ourselves. In another two weeks, I would be leaving 'The Residency Area' for work purpose and there would be many flies keeping watch on us.

So there are some things we will show and some we won't.

After all 'Feling' will head towards mainlands soon. I won't be surprised if he makes it to the 'Autumn fall' fashion show. That would be our first meet as well as the start of our 'overt and covert' war.

I also have another work for you. Search for my parent's remains, team up with Brother Li Jie and get me everything you can get your hands on, that belongs to them.

I believe that the people who are targeting me are doing so because of my parents."

I dismissed Zhang Wei while I contemplate a lot of things in my mind.

'A lot happened in these past two days, Xiao Wei getting almost kidnapped to figuring out my role in the Hu family too. While I know that from Pacific 'Feling' is keeping his hawk's eyes trained on me. On the other side, this revelation that Bai Chang's parents are somehow involved with the Star Time Project is another headache.'

As I discover more I feel my present life is getting more tangled with my past life.

'The thing is how do I choose and what do I choose?'

'Family or Justice'

The next few days flew by in a haze.

Soon it is the weekend and I have to spend time with Hu Qiang and Xiao Wei.
