Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 490 - 483: Sticking Plaster

Wu Jingjing was bored and fiddling with her phone on the sofa, occasionally glancing up at Wu Chengzu, who was pacing back and forth in the living room.

Recently, her dad seemed quite idle. Previously, he was always nowhere to be seen, but now he’s at home day after day.

"I say, Dad, has your business gone bankrupt?" Wu Jingjing put down her phone and asked.

"Hmm?" Wu Chengzu stopped walking and turned to look at Wu Jingjing, "Why do you ask that?"

"Is there even a need to ask?" Wu Jingjing glanced at the clock on the wall, "At this hour, you’re still at home, isn’t it strange? And it’s been several days in a row. I mean, you’re always watching me, don’t you need to take care of your business?"

Wu Jingjing felt a bit frustrated. Before, she thought her dad was always busy with his business and didn’t care about her. But now that he’s watching her all day, it’s not exactly something to be happy about either.

Wu Chengzu looked at the clock on the wall, it was five o’clock in the evening. He raised his eyebrows slightly and his expression revealed some helplessness.

Ever since the incident with Yin Hao, Wu Chengzu no longer entrusted his earned money to others for laundering. This led him to invest heavily in creating a foreign trade company right below the building where Yao Zhiqing worked. On the surface, it was for foreign trade business, but in reality, it was kept for him to launder money.

However, recently the industry and commerce tax bureau, as well as customs, began to frequently hassle him. They suspected him of tax evasion and smuggling, conducting intensive investigations into his company. This caused him to suspend all underground business transactions, focusing on dealing with those tax officers.

If he wanted to continue long-term on this path, he first had to protect this company.

As for why the tax bureau suddenly started investigating him, Wu Chengzu didn’t need to think to know who was behind it.

Aside from Leng Yichen, Wu Chengzu couldn’t think of anyone else.

Wu Chengzu glanced at Wu Jingjing, "Are you hungry?"

Wu Jingjing nodded, "A little bit."

"Then I’ll go make dinner."

"Oh please, you only know how to make a few dishes, I’m already sick of eating them these days." Wu Jingjing looked at Wu Chengzu with disdain.

Wu Chengzu nodded and sat next to Wu Jingjing, "Then what do you want to eat? Let’s order takeout."

With that, Wu Chengzu took out his phone to order takeout, but he caught sight of Wu Jingjing seemingly chatting with someone, the WeChat screen constantly on.

"Who are you chatting with?" Wu Chengzu asked casually, "Is it a boy in your class who has a crush on you?"

Wu Jingjing, who inherited Wu Chengzu’s looks, wasn’t considered beautiful but had a unique charm.

Wu Jingjing glanced at Wu Chengzu and said, "It’s Teacher Xiao Cheng."

Wu Chengzu was somewhat surprised, while looking at the takeout app, he casually asked, "You’re still in touch?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Since Cheng Shishi had treated them to a buffet dinner, shortly afterward Wu Chengzu received notice that she would stop tutoring Wu Jingjing. Actually, from the moment Bai Yiran stepped into the restaurant, Wu Chengzu had anticipated this.

First, Leng Yichen would not allow his sister-in-law to have excessive contact with him.

Second, Wu Chengzu knew Cheng Shishi’s feelings towards him, so he could guess that when Cheng Shishi heard from Wu Jingjing that he liked Bai Yiran, she would overthink.

Third, even though he had verbally denied Wu Jingjing’s words and attributed his relationship with Bai Yiran to friendship, he had deliberately altered his tone. Cheng Shishi, being pure-minded, would surely feel Wu Chengzu was hiding something.

"I had lost contact with Teacher Xiao Cheng before, but we got back in touch later." Wu Jingjing looked at Wu Chengzu, "She said she can’t tutor me for now, maybe in a while."

"She still wants to be your tutor?" Wu Chengzu asked.

"Yes." Wu Jingjing nodded, "That’s what she said."

Wu Chengzu wasn’t very keen on having Cheng Shishi continue teaching Wu Jingjing, not wanting Cheng Shishi to become another Bai Qianyu—a pesky, clingy nuisance.
