Looking at Ding Manman sitting so close to him, Zhong Shaoting was so emotional that he couldn’t speak. He wanted to hug her several times, but he retracted his hand after interacting with her eyes.
As the father of the child, he was shy, but at the same time he was a little afraid. From the moment he was pregnant to the birth of the child, Zhong Shaoting did not accompany Ding Manman to the responsibility of being a father. Now that he suddenly appeared beside the child, Zhong Shaoting was afraid that Ding Manman would not admit that the child was his, and the child was still so young.
Just as the two of them were about to sit down for dinner, Zhong Shaoting’s phone rang.
It was a text message. Zhong Shaoting originally thought that no one could disturb such an important moment, but when he took out his phone, he noticed the word ‘help’.
For help? Who was asking for help? Zhong Shaoting thought about it. Recently, he had been busy with his career and hadn’t seen his grandmother for a long time. It had been such a long time since he had contacted her.
Thinking of this, Zhong Shaoting quickly looked at the text message and saw it saying, “Shaojing, my uncle Zhong Jue has been put under house arrest. My body is not as good as before. I hope you can come back. I have something to give to you.”
Seeing this, Zhong Shaoting apologized to Ding Manman in a hurry. Without leaving any other words, he left. Ding Manman, who was sitting, only felt infinitely desolate. So, even if he gave birth to the child desperately, he was not that important to Zhong Shaoting, right? Ding Manman didn’t know.
Ding Manman sat with the two children and ate alone. She couldn’t help but cry as she ate. The heavens were really unfair. Why did they suffer so much and still have to be strong alone? Ding Manman glanced at the child and silently thought to the children, her mother will raise you alone in the future. I’m sorry that I can’t give you a complete home.
After dinner, Ding Manman brought the two children back to the house where Hansen was just a simple home. Everyone only saw that Ding Manman did not see Zhong Shaoting, and there were tears on Khai’s face. Everyone in have a tacit understanding did not mention Zhong Shaoting, so they took the child and let Yi 4 rest.
On the other side, Zhong Shaoting had already used his private plane back to China. He ordered Song Chen to find the place where the text message was sent, and he got off the plane and rushed over.
It was a mountain. It seemed like Zhong Jue, a sinister person, had put his grandmother under house arrest on this mountain. This mountain had just been developed recently and there would be no danger. It was a group of a fictitious land of peace away from the turmoil of the world. Besides restricting her freedom, he hoped that he did not do anything he should not have done, or else…
Soon, Zhong Shaoting took his men to find Grandmother’s residence. There were about ten people guarding around them. In Zhong Shaoting’s eyes, these people were not very useful at all. They ordered the people accompanying them to take action.
In the room, Grandmother was leaning against the head of the bed, staring into the distance in a daze. When she saw this scene, Zhong Shaoting felt a pain in his heart. She blamed herself for not caring about Grandmother properly. If she cared more about her, Grandmother wouldn’t be like this.
“Grandmother, I’m sorry. I’m late. It’s all my fault that you suffered.” Zhong Shaoting squatted beside the bed and held the old lady’s hand as he spoke guiltily.
Only then did the old lady come back to her senses. She thought that when it was time for dinner, the people outside had brought the food in.
“Don’t worry too much. Grandmother is looking for you this time. I have an urgent matter. Take a seat and listen to me slowly tell you.”
With that, the old lady coughed twice. She was growing older and her bones were getting worse. She didn’t know how many days were left.
The old lady put a stone and a book into Zhong Shaoting’s hands.
“This is the heirloom that our Zhong family has passed down for generations. This stone is actually a key, and this book is actually a complete treasure map. However, his sequence is messy. People have been spying on this fortune for generations, but no one can break this password. Now I will give these to you, hoping that you can protect the Zhong family’s heirloom and not let him fall into the hands of the bad guys.
Zhong Shaoting was surprised when he heard this news. Since it was so important, why had he never heard of it?
“Grandmother, do you know how much wealth this time? Why did I never hear anyone mention this? When she heard this, the old lady fell into deep memories.
“This matter is a long story. It turned out that the chosen successor would be open for the election. If the person praised by everyone passed the test, the heirloom in the previous position would hand over to him, but no one knew what the wealth was. They just felt that the number must be quite large. The rest of the Zhong family started to restlessly, the heir was assassinated, and the family had countless internal struggles. The owner had no way to tell the outside that the heirloom had been
Zhong Shaoting rubbed the stone in his hand and asked in confusion, “Is this heirloom found later?” The wealth inside was not taken away by outsiders?
“No, this heirloom has not been lost from the beginning to the end. The owner does not want the Zhong family to fight for this unrealistic thing inside, so he hid it and started to inherit secret inheritance.”
Speaking of which, Zhong Shaoting understood everything.
“Grandmother, I’ll take you out of here first. I can’t take this heirloom, so you’ll live for a long time. When you really can’t, give me this thing.” Then he returned the things in his hand to the old lady’s hand.
“No, take it. If you don’t accept it, I won’t leave with you!” At this moment, the old lady was extremely determined. No one knew the current physical condition better than her. She couldn’t stand the torment. If she put this thing in her hands, she would be discovered by those who had ulterior motives. She might as well entrust it to a trusted person now. At the very least, she would not be ashamed of her deceased ancestors after she died.
In the end, Zhong Shaoting still couldn’t push it and accepted the heirloom. This old lady was really not a good thing. Zhong Shaoting was still a brat who trusted him so much. Hmph, they prayed that he could keep this heirloom!
He brought the old lady back to his residence. Seeing that the old lady had always been listless, Zhong Shaoting suggested to find a doctor to check her up, but the old lady rejected her. However, Zhong Shaoting had no choice but to give up on this idea and arrange a room for her to rest.
