Finally, the driver comes back. Ding gets into the car, holding Ding Qi’s fleshy hand. Being tired, Ding Qi begins to snore slightly within moments. The peace of the moment makes Ding put on a smile which hasn’t been seen for a long time.
Knowing it is the driver who drives Ding and Ding Qi home, Ding’s parents cannot help falling into panic. They hurry back home and sit in the living room with lights off to wait for the siblings.
When Ding comes home with Ding Qi in her arms, she sees her parents look rather serious. Ding’s mother is on the verge of scolding Ding for her being so useless that she has even screwed up such a little thing, but seeing Ding Qi in her arms, she lowers her voice and says: “Put your brother in his room, then hurry down. We have something to say to you!”
Ding nods her head, thinking that she probably lets her parents down again. She hopes they will not be so tough on her later.
Ding puts Ding Qi on the bed. Seeing his pure face, Ding kisses his forehead and murmurs: “Qiqi, you are the only source of warmth in this family to warm me. No matter what happens, I will protect you and won’t let you suffer a little. I love you.”
Ding Qi in his sleep seems to feel Ding’s love. He raises the corners of his mouth gently. But Ding doesn’t see that for she is deeply absorbed in her own world.
Ding finds that much time has passed and she has to hurry down. Otherwise, she will bear more anger from her parents. Then she hurries down.
“Wicked girl, how can you move so slowly? Don’t you know we are waiting for you downstairs?” Ding’s mother says harshly.
“Sorry, I’m sorry, mom. I think it’s uncomfortable for Qiqi to fall asleep without washing for a day. So I took a towel to wash him up. That’s why I am late. Please calm down, mom.” Ding says meekly.
Hearing this, Ding’s mother gets a little relaxed, which makes Ding feel a little relieved in her nervous heart. But at this moment, her father opens his mouth.
“Manman, you went out with Fang Hao today. Why doesn’t he send you back?” Her father asks with a seemingly kind tone.
Ding is afraid that telling the truth will let his parents down. At the same time, she is afraid that her parents will force her to find Zhong Shaoting who is a devil, a devil that can plunge people into the darkness. No! No! Never him! If she does, a series of disgusting troubles will be triggered.
Yes, it’s disgusting. Zhong Shaoting raped her in that environment, regardless of her own will. He is so beastly to her that she feels disgusted. It seems that he is the master of the world with the right to easily decide a person’s life and death, depending on his own mood. Such a terrible person he is.
“Ah? Fang Hao was going to send us back, but something came up. I felt sorry to hold him up, so I asked him to do his business. That’s why I asked the driver to pick us up. ” Ding answers with a mosquito-like sound.
“Oh? What kind of thing? What kind of thing is more important than you? Fang Hao used to put you in the first priority at any time. He must think you aren’t a virgin now. I advise you to save it. You’d better follow our advice to find Zhong Shaoting. It is worthwhile to have sex with him for the safety of Ding’s company, isn’t it? You are all like this. It’s unexpected that he can still love you and doesn’t mind you. What are you acting for? ” Ding’s mother says acidly.
“No. Mom, I will ask Fang Hao for forgiveness. I will not allow our company to go bankrupt like this. Believe me, believe me, give me some time. I am sure I can make it! ” Ding says eagerly.
Hearing this, Ding’s father says firmly: “Manman, I tell you that if you can’t win Fang Hao’s heart anymore, I will give you to Zhong Shaoting by myself. At that time, I don’t care if you are willing or not!”
Ding Manman shakes her head in tears and runs out of the house.
Seeing the back of Ding growing fainter, Ding’s parents become furious. They swear that if Ding hasn’t won Fang Hao’s heart in three days, they will go out to find her, and send her to Zhong Shaoting’s bed by all means. If Ding’s company can survive, whatever they do and no matter how much they pay will be worthwhile!
Ding walks alone in the street. And the dim light makes her feel lonelier.
Ding takes out her mobile phone, scrolls through the contact list, and finally dials Fang Hao’s number. But this time no one answers, either.
An idea comes to Ding’s mind. Since Fang Hao sent An Ya to the hospital, maybe he is still in the hospital now. Why not have a try to call An Ya? As one of her best friends, An Ya will tell her. And if she can explain it clearly, An Ya will help her.
Just go to call An Ya immediately.
At the moment, An Ya, who is having dinner with Fang Hao, hears the phone ringing, and feels it is impolite to ignore it, so she decides to get up and answer the phone in a quiet place. At this time, Fang Hao casually asks, “An Ya, who is it? What else can’t you say in front of me? Don’t leave. Just pick it up here and I want to hear. ”
“Well, it’s not appropriate. A female friend. What if she wants to talk to me about some secrets? I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to hear? ”
“It’s OK. I’m not a blabbermouth, either. Yes? Don’t trust me? ” Fang Hao raises his eyebrows.
“No. How could that be? I’ll pick it up here.” Following the hint of Fang Hao’s eyes, An Ya reluctantly picks up the phone.
“Yaya, is Fang Hao with you? I have something to tell him. Could you tell me where you are? ” Ding asks with an urgent voice.
An Ya doesn’t want to turn openly against Ding now. After all, there’s still a long way to get Fang Hao. She must not let Ding read her mind at this time, or it will be more difficult to carry out her plan in the future.
Then she says vaguely, “Huh? Yeah? What’s up? ”
“Mm-hmm, Yaya, do you know where Fang Hao is?”
“Of course!” An Ya shows off to Ding without much thought.
“Then could you tell me where he is? ” Ding asks carefully, for fear that she makes An Ya angry and has no chance to see Fang Hao.
“Oh, we are having dinner at XXXX. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.” She hangs up the phone directly.
Fang Hao raises his eyebrows. “So? Do you think I’m bothering you? Why do you hang up her call so impatiently?”
“No, no, let’s have our meal!” An Ya replies.
As soon as she finishes saying that, the dishes are served. Then they two begin to eat in silence.
