I almost touched the moon

Half an hour later, Cheng Che received a WeChat message from Yang Wanqing. He smiled helplessly and said to Wen Song, "Okay, our little princess agreed to use my snowboard, but she still wants to go back to Zurich. She said she misses Grandma Lucille and Cece. Mom said she will go back with Astrid tomorrow."

Wen Song smiled and raised his head to kiss Cheng Che, "Let her be. If she wants to go home, she can go home. As long as she doesn't make a fuss and insists on coming to Japan to find us, that's fine."

"Yes, baby." Cheng Che also kissed her cheek, "I also want to continue to enjoy the world of two people with my wife."

Wen Song also sent a message to Wen Yiheng, telling her that Astrid would return to Zurich tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Wen Yiheng replied, "OK, what time will she arrive? I'll pick her up in the airport with Cece."

Just as Wen Song was about to reply, Wen Yiheng immediately sent another message, [I'm asking Astrid].

Looking at the message, Wen Song threw his phone aside, sat on Cheng Che's lap, hugged his neck and said coquettishly: "It's so annoying. Do you know what my mother said? She said that she would go to the airport to pick up Astrid in person. She has never come to the airport to pick me up once! Never! I asked her to pick me up before, and she would only say, I'll let the driver pick you up.

When I was in middle school, I had a quarrel with her and insisted that she pick me up. Then Attorney Wen said, “I think you can calculate my hourly rate based on my yearly salary and the hours I work per year. So if you can pay for the two hours of mine, I'd willing to pick you up.”

(I think you should be able to calculate my hourly rate based on my annual income and the number of hours I work per year. So if you can pay me for these two hours, I'll be happy to pick you up.)

Cheng Che felt a little distressed. He touched Wen Song's head and kissed her eyes. He coaxed her like he coaxed Astrid, saying, "Baby, that's because when you were little, your mother was very busy at work and she didn't have time to accompany you. When Astrid was born, she had retired and became a grandmother, so of course she had a lot of time to accompany her. So, don't be angry, don't you still have me? I will always come to the airport to pick you up."

"You don't understand... There are many things that are not that simple."

Wen Song sighed softly and looked out the window. It was raining outside, and the misty water vapor took her thoughts far away...

February 2027, 2, Hong Kong, China.

Because of the heavy fog, the plane hovered over the airport for a long time and was unable to land.

After circling for more than half an hour, the plane finally descended. The early spring in the south had become very warm. Wen Song felt a little hot even though he was walking on the corridor bridge wearing only a windbreaker.

She quickly passed through customs. Wen Yiheng's driver had been waiting in the arrival hall for a long time. She also received a message from Wen Yiheng at this time. She sent an address and a sentence, "e straight here" (come directly here)

The driver took the windbreaker from her hand with some courtesy and said in unskilled Mandarin: "Miss, Lawyer Wen asked me to take you directly to Central."

Wen Song felt a little speechless, so he called Wen Yiheng and asked helplessly, "Do I have to go?"

On the other end of the phone, although Wen Yiheng's words were in the tone of asking for help, they left no room for doubt. "Ilia, please, you know Isabella, right? She's the big sister who competed with me for the managing partner position when I was at Jun Ping. I've been away from Jun Ping for so many years, and she finally got the position."

"Lawyer Wen, you don't need to tell me about your work. I can't help you." Wen Song smiled helplessly and said to his mother, "You just need to tell me, what does this have to do with me?"

"Sorry, she made me so angry that I lost my mind." Wen Yiheng explained immediately, "Honey, Isabella knew that I was in Hong Kong these few days, so she invited me, Ling Yi, and Junping's big boss He Mingshuo to have dinner together. I didn't want to pay attention to her, but I couldn't ignore Director He. Isabella also said it was a family dinner and invited family members to join. So honey, I can only invite you. I know you don't like to see people, so I'll give you 20 euros as compensation, okay? Dress up and dress formally."

Wen Song felt dizzy when he heard these messy names, but when he heard that he could get 20 euros for a meal, he was immediately "dazzled by the money" and said to Wen Yiheng: "Don't worry, Lawyer Wen, I will definitely help you with this matter."

However, when she arrived at the restaurant's private room, Wen Song had already regretted it. Seeing more than a dozen people in the room, she was so scared that she almost ran away. What 20 euros? If she had known there would be so many people, she would not have come even if it was 200 million euros.

Just as she was about to run away, Wen Yiheng spotted her, walked up to her, took her arm, and said with a smile, "You're finally here."

Ling Yi also stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Song Song is here, she is getting prettier and prettier, are you busy with work? I remember you like Cantonese food, so I specially booked this restaurant, it's very difficult to book."

Wen Song could only greet Ling Yi with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at Wen Yiheng, questioning her with his eyes why there were so many people.

Wen Yiheng didn't seem to understand her look, and pulled her to sit down at the dining table, continuing to chat with others. The people present were all lawyers from Jun Ping and LK Hong Kong Branch, as well as their families. Wen Song didn't know many people, and he just felt dizzy.

Suddenly, Isabella said to He Mingshuo with some pride, "I heard that Director He's youngest son has just been admitted to HKU. What a coincidence! My son just graduated from HKU's Finance Masters program last year and is now working at UT, in charge of venture capital."

Director He also chatted with her for a few words, and then said to Wen Yiheng: "Lawyer Wen, I wonder how old Miss Wen is? Is she still studying?"

Wen Yiheng glanced at Isabella, smiled meaningfully, and said to Director He, "Iseylia is 28 years old. After graduating from Oxford with a Ph.D. two years ago, she worked at ESA for a year and is now a professor at the University of Munich."

"Professor?" Director He was obviously a little surprised. "I didn't expect Miss Wen to be a professor at such a young age. Lawyer Wen is a good parent. I remember that after Lawyer Wen left Junping, she also went to the University of Zurich to study for a doctorate. Look, a family of doctors."

"Yes." Isabella flattered, "Lucille is a typical strong woman. She can even forget about her family when she is working. It's not easy for Miss Wen either."

Wen Yiheng smiled and ignored Isabella's words. He just said to Director He, "Old He, we have known each other for many years. Why are you still saying these polite words? I am usually busy with work and don't have much time to take care of her. Isabella is better. She can handle both career and family. When I left Junping, I thought she would take over my position immediately. It seems that family is more important."

Isabella was obviously choked, but she was not to be outdone, and continued: "Lucille, you are too modest. We are old colleagues. Do you have any educational methods? Share them with us."

Wen Yiheng knew that she was anxious, and showed a smug expression, saying to Isabella: "I don't have any other methods, but Iseylia has never had any other hobbies since she was a child, just likes reading. Unknowingly, she has graduated with a doctorate, which I am also a little surprised."

Ling Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard Wen Yiheng's words, and followed her and said, "I remember when I was in college, Ah Heng's grades were always the best in his major. Iseylia was influenced by him, so of course she became a top student as well."

Seeing that Wen Yiheng had the upper hand, Isabella immediately said, "Director Ling is still so partial. When Lucille was still in Hong Kong, Director Ling would come to see her every now and then under the pretext of business trips. I wonder if he also often goes to Zurich every now and then under the pretext of business trips?"

"Lawyer Huang." Ling Yi smiled with a vague smile, "I seem to have come to Hong Kong more often recently, but don't worry, I'm not visiting you under the pretext of a business trip."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little tense, Director He immediately smoothed things over and said, "Dr. Wen and Lawyer Huang are just a pair of enemies. When Dr. Wen was still at Junping, you two were always arguing with each other. It's been so many years, and you're still the same. Look, the children are laughing at you."

They chatted for a while, saying some polite words that might be true or false. Wen Song felt like his head was about to explode. The delicious food tasted like chewing wax and he thought he might as well order McDonald's at home.

While no one was paying attention, she took out her cell phone and sent a message to her assistant, explaining her predicament and asking her to call her in half an hour to say that there was a problem with the Aether detector test and she needed to come forward to solve it.
