"I think it's related to my mom." Justin smiled. Judging from how much his dad loved his mom, the reason Edward was so fond of jasmines could only be his mom. Justin couldn't think of anybody else who could weigh so much in his dad's heart except for her. It was not possible in any way for Edward to plant those flowers for any other woman.
"Yes, completely right. You're so clever." Edward smiled in admiration. Since Justin already knew, he thought it was needless to keep hiding it.
"In that case, did you fall in love with mom long before our family got reunited?" The first time Justin entered the house, he remembered seeing those jasmines. This was the reason why he was so certain.
"That's not your concern. You kids don't understand the adult world. Okay, we're here." Edward pulled the car over at the gate of the school and opened the door of the car. It happened to be the time that all the parents were bringing their kids to school, so there were many luxurious cars parked nearby. But the appearance of the luxurious Lamborghini was quite a rare sight.
Justin looked outside the car window, trying to find the boy who always showed off in front of him. Today, it would be Justin's turn to show off. But after searching for a while, he couldn't find him anywhere. Justin became a little frustrated at the prospect of getting riled up by that annoying boy again.
"What are you looking for? Get out of the car." Edward pulled the door open and followed Justin's gaze, but he didn't find anything unusual.
Haha... Nothing!" Justin slowly got off the car. He stood at the gate of the school and continued to look around, trying to find the boy. If he missed this chance today, he didn't know what excuse he could give to his dad to bring him to school another time.
Although Edward found his son's behavior odd, he stopped asking and went into the car to pick up the ringing phone. He didn't have time to pay attention to Justin's strange behavior.
"Justin, this is my dad. Isn't he very handsome?" At this time, an adorable boy appeared with a gentleman next to him. The boy smiled smugly at Justin.
"Good morning, uncle." Although Justin didn't like the boy, the good manners that had been instilled in him since he was little made him greet them politely.
"Good morning, little boy." Moore Fei lowered his head and looked at Justin with a smile. He had the feeling that he had met the boy before, but he failed to remember on which occasion they had met.
Dad, hurry up, I'm getting late!" Justin shouted at Edward, who was sitting in the car and talking on the phone. He suddenly found his actions stupid. But the arrow had already left the string, he had to continue carrying out his plan and go with the flow. But he was no longer as eager to win as he was before.
At Justin's shout, the little boy and his father looked in the direction that Justin shouted at. But the only thing they saw was a sleek luxurious Lamborghini. They couldn't see the person inside the car.
"Justin, are you fooling me? Where is your dad?" The boy pouted and glared at Justin angrily. He displayed his true feelings on his face immediately, as a typical child would.
Hearing his son urging him to go, Edward had to end the call. He pushed the door open and got off the car. His handsome appearance, distinguished temperament, and noble demeanor immediately attracted everyone's attention. The moment Moore Fei saw Edward, he was stunned. He had wondered why the boy seemed so familiar when he first saw him. It turned out that he was the son of Mr. Mu.
"Mr. Mu, good morning!" Moore Fei nodded to Edward in a humble and polite manner.
"Mr. Fei, it's you. What a coincidence!" Edward frowned in surprise. Moore Fei was the new planning director of the FX International Group. He was a rare talent, a young man with great potential. It was very strange to see him here.
"Yes, it's such a coincidence! I was wondering why this boy looked so familiar. It turns out that he is Mr. Mu's son. Please excuse my imprudence." Moore Fei was new in the company. He didn't know that Edward had a son this age. He was taken aback at the sight of the father and son together.
"It's okay, you didn't know. But you also surprised me. I didn't think that a young man like you would already be married and have a son." Edward smiled pleasantly at the boy who was gazing at him in awe. He was very friendly to the little boy.
"I'm flattered. I'm glad you didn't laugh at me." The reason why he quit his former company was because he heard that the CEO of the FX International Group provided the employees with a lot of creative space to exercise their talents and reach their full potential. Hearing that the CEO wouldn't randomly overturn the achievements of his employees, he decided to quit his old job and transfer to the FX International Group.
"We can talk later in the office. The kids will be late for school." At that moment, Edward didn't seem like a superior CEO. He talked to Moore Fei like a fellow parent. There was no trace of putting on airs in his tone and actions.
"Dad, we can go to the classroom by ourselves." Realizing that they were colleagues, Justin suggested in understanding. He was also very surprised at the turn of event.
"Okay, you may go now. I'll watch you from here until you enter the classroom." Edward knew that Daisy always made sure to develop Justin's independence, so he happily agreed with Justin's suggestion.
"Dad, I'll go with Justin," the boy said, taking his eyes off Edward. He suddenly realized the meaning of the saying, "there is always someone better than you." Although it was true that his father was very handsome, compared to Justin's dad, his own dad paled. At the knowledge, he suddenly became very friendly towards Justin and wanted to be close to him.
"Okay, go on then." Moore Fei had a temperament that was very similar to Tom's, they both belonged to the gentle kind. He wore a graceful smile the entire time.
"Bye, dad! Bye, uncle!"
"Bye! dad! Bye, uncle!"
The two little boys bid the adults goodbye and turned around to go to school, with Justin walking in front and the other boy following behind. The two fathers didn't leave until the kids disappeared from their sight. Then they tore away their gaze and left in their own cars. While they drove away, an interesting conversation was taking place in the campus.
"Justin, is your dad a movie star? He's so handsome!" The boy ran to catch up to Justin before asking him in a low voice.
"No." Justin answered shortly, keeping his fast pace.
"But why doesn't he become a movie star? It's such a pity to waste those good looks!" Not getting the answer he wanted, the boy continued to ask.
"Martin Fei, you're so annoying! Who says that handsome men have to be movie stars? You are so shallow!" Justin suddenly stopped in his tracks. He couldn't stand Martin's babbling any longer. "Okay, I'll change the topic. You dad's car is so cool! It must be very comfortable riding that car, huh?" Martin Fei was used to being scolded, so he wasn't put off by Justin's angry face at all. He continued to ask questions that he was curious about.
"I don't know." Justin didn't give any clear answer. If he had known that Martin Fei was such an annoying boy, he wouldn't have asked Edward to come with him. But it was done now, he already drew Martin's attention. He had to suffer Martin Fei's pestering for the rest of his life. This was what would happen in the later part of the story.
"So, what does your father do? He looks so awesome!" Whatever Justin said didn't matter now. Martin Fei would continue to ask him questions no matter what. He believed that Justin would tell him in the end.
"He sells things." In Justin's eyes, that was exactly what he thought his father did. From department stores to restaurants, his father's business sold things. So he thought that he was answering in the correct way.
"Really? Does he sell delicious food?" Martin Fei swallowed his saliva at the thought. He was obviously also a foodie who was only interested in excellent delicacies.
"You're such a pig, only thinking about food." Justin looked at Martin Fei with contempt. Although he was also a foodie himself, he ignored the fact in favor of deriding Martin Fei.
Does he sells delicious food or not? Please tell me! Martin Fie continued to pester Justin with his questions. Probably he lacked the exercise, he panted as he trotted to krep up with Justin's pace.
Yes, if you dont want to be a fat boy, you can keep being curious. Justin quickened his steps, while Martin continued to follow him without the slightest intention of giving up. Their voices quickly trailed off in the distance. Many years later, they would they would look back at this memory with amusement. Although they started out as enemies, they became friends since that morning.
