My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 288

Kerry raised his eyelids, put a peeled shrimp in Venus's bowl and asked slowly, "How many?"

"Fifteen."

"I'll have Henry deliver them to the school tomorrow," Kerry peeled another shrimp to his wife, and asked casually, "How much did you sell?"

Jingyan didn't dare to look at his father's eyes and faltered as he messed with his bowl, "Of course, I'll sell them at the market price."

"Oh, that's sixty-eight thousand Yuan."

"What? Didn't Uncle Henry say fifty thousand?" Jingyan was surprised. He counted his savings as soon as he came back to home, and if it was fifty thousand, he would have just enough money to cover.

Kerry smiled faintly, “Fifty thousand Yuan is a discount price out of friendship, it could be offered to you Uncle, but not your classmates.”

"You're too stingy that you even charge Uncle for money." Jingyan said with great dissatisfaction.

"How can I support you without charging other’s money?"

Jingyan got panicked, he said cheekily after hesitated for a while, "Dad, please give me a discount price for my classmates.

"Why should I feel embarrassed about it? Even reckoning makes long friends." After Kerry said that, his thigh was pinched by Venus, Kerry held her hand under the table after got her hint.

Jingyan still didn't give up, "Dad, please give my classmates a discount price for me."

"Is it you don't have enough money?" Kerry asked coldly.

"Right." Jingyan answered quickly, yet he covered his mouth with one hand immediately afterwards.

Venus couldn’t conceal her laughter, and Jingyan knew he had been exposed and quickly stood up to apologize, "Dad, I was wrong."

"Why?" Kerry didn't put down his chopsticks, but his tone was serious.

Jingyan confessed, "I shouldn't have taken the robot to school and played with it in class, and I shouldn't have told my classmates that it only cost thirty thousand Yuan."

"Good, you're pretty honest." Kerry teased him.

"Oh."

Kerry didn't say anything more, but Jingyan couldn't help but shiver, waiting for his father's punishment with his arms hanging down.

Kerry ate porridge one mouthful at a time, and added a bowl of soup for his wife from time to time, saying, "drink some more" while ignoring Jingyan completely.

The other three kids, though not laughing at Jingyan loudly, were winking at him secretly, because they loved to see their big brother being punished.

A few minutes later, Venus pushed Kerry’s arm, then Kerry said, "Daddy teach you a lesson today not because you lost the money, but because you shouldn't be so swagger in school. You think you're smart, you topped every exam, your teacher likes you and spoils you, so you think the world is around you?"

Kerry paused and said to the other three, "Listen, you all, it’s a big world, and you can’t always outdo others. Is your ideal so small only to inherit the family business? Do you have the ability to operate the company well after inheriting it? Can you guarantee that tens of thousands of employees will be fed? Can you live on your own without succeeding the company?"

Kerry's words silenced the four youngsters. Although they were young, their daily life made them mature enough to know the responsibilities they would have to take on in the future.

Kerry slowed down, he signed, “The God is just. He gave you a smart brain and a rich life, but he will always take something away from you, especially Pingan and Ruyi. You are gifted with great talent, but you don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, maybe one day, misfortune will come to your door. Make yourself strong and powerful when your life is going well, so if something unexpected happens, you will be able to cope with it. After all, you are the one who live your life, parents only accompany you for a limited time."

All children lowered their heads and didn't speak, Venus felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, she coughed and said, "Everyone, eat your dinner first, and then we'll talk afterwards. Pingan, go back to the dining table.”
