The only thing that could make William forget about these troubles was his time with Ding Manman. In the West, birthday parties were much more important than in the East. However, it was rare for them to settle in restaurants. Most of them were family members working together to arrange a family party.
This was a very fresh experience for Ding Manman. She didn’t understand these things, but when she saw how exquisite the room was arranged, she felt as happy as she was in the fairyland.
Seeing An Anhao happy, Ding Manman felt happy too. For a few moments, she couldn’t help but think that if Zhong Shaoting proposed to her at this birthday party, she would agree.
After such a long time of consideration, they have gained a deep understanding of their personalities. Perhaps they are the best partners for the rest of their lives.
The birthday time is getting closer and closer. Ding Manman is worried that Zhong Shaoting will forget the time difference and remind him in advance, but Zhong Shaoting is like a busy thing, refusing to come in advance.
“If you’re very busy, you don’t have to come, or we can go back.”
She had already regarded the two of them as the perfect match to walk together in the future. Ding Manman was no longer in conflict and wanted to think for Zhong Shaoting.
“Alright, I’ll remember the child’s birthday, but there’s something that’s delayed at the last minute. I’ll definitely go over early.” Zhong Shaoting explained in a difficult manner. Just before Ding Manman called him, Yan Qing also called to tell him the truth about what happened back then.
The two incidents collided, and Zhong Shaoting had no time to think about the birthday.
Hearing Zhong Shaoting’s tone of voice, Ding Manman hung up without saying anything else. She kept encouraging herself to believe in Zhong Shaoting. As the child’s father, he would never forget that such an important day would come, but he was a little busy now.
With such confidence, Ding Manman continued to set up a birthday party for the child, but she did not expect Zhong Shaoting to drive back to the Zhong family’s hometown at such a late night.
When Zhong Shaoting saw Yan Qing again, he found that his second aunt was a little old. One could imagine how much distress this time had caused her. Since she had already planned to tell Zhong Shaoting the truth, she had nothing to do with it.
“I want to tell you the truth today, but knowing the truth is sometimes not a good thing because the burden in your heart will become heavier.” A trace of pain flashed across Yan Qing’s eyes. “It’s better not to touch it from a lot of people, but since you’re so persistent, because of the child’s health, I’ve decided to tell you. As for what you do, it depends on you.”
“It is a family from a neighboring country that does some shameless deals. They invaded our country and made illegal transactions. Because they were reported, they went into prison for several years and returned to their native land.” Yan Qing told the truth in a soft voice. After all, those who did shameless business always felt a little sinister, so everyone felt afraid.
“How are they now?” Are you still doing those businesses? Zhong Shaoting asked with concern. This was not a joke. Not to mention their personality, it was easy to get along with. Once it was illegal, he would never touch it as a serious businessman. Perhaps because of the sense of justice in his heart, he would still report it to him, and it might not be possible for him to grab his father-in-law.
“Of course, wash one’s hands in a golden basin. The country is so open-minded that they won’t do business in this area anymore. Of course, this is my information. You know, ever since your second uncle died, I haven’t heard about it for a long time. I’m sure I don’t know the specifics.”
Zhong Shaoting knew that this was just Yan Qing’s modesty. In the years when she had been seduced by a smile, she had gone crazy. Without any communication with the outside world, she immediately became a socialite flower after her body recovered.
Zhong Shaoting, who was secretly taking care of Yan Qing, was very clear.
“I don’t mind meeting with him for a while. Maybe we can still be friends with him. We should ask him for help.”
After Zhong Shaoting learned that Ding Manman’s biological parents had fallen, the breath he had been holding in his heart was finally relieved. The feeling of being refreshed was like a new life.
“This matter is as simple as this.” Yan Qing sighed in embarrassment, then she continued to share her concerns. “Although he is in the wash one’s hands in a golden basin, what happened back then has been a huge blow to him. Although he has a wide range of friends in business, he doesn’t trust many people, especially when he mentioned what happened back then. After all, he used to be so dangerous. If you went up so rashly, how would he deal with him?
Zhong Shaoting knew that he was concerned about him, but he still had the confidence that his daughter would not be able to help him.
“Can you tell me why Ding Manman and Ding Beibei were abandoned?”
“This sentence is even more difficult…” Yan Qing thought back to the past and tears fell from the corner of her eyes.
“That was the day that an undercover female police officer gave birth to his child. The female police officer and the child didn’t come out. I heard that the police were caught in their country. When they returned to our country to develop, they didn’t see her.”
Zhong Shaoting did not dare to think about it anymore, but from Yan Qing’s tearful expression, I knew that it was not a good ending.
With Yan Qing knowing so much news, Zhong Shaoting guessed boldly that his aunt and Ding Manman’s mother were definitely good friends.
Zhong Shaoting’s main business was a businessman, and his side business was also doing these things to punish evil. In this way, he and Ding Manman’s biological mother had a common language. It was also better to know how difficult it was for such a great woman to complete the task, and how painful it was to be exposed to execute the judgement.
“You guessed correctly. The two of us are very good friends, but I don’t even have any news about her.” Yan Qing stopped her tears and stared at Zhong Shaoting with a determined expression.
“I don’t want your ending to be as desolate as my friend, so I don’t want you to care about this anymore. Can you understand Second Aunt’s hard work?”
