The woman's name was Ding Qiuyue. She married the second son of the Lang family right after graduating from college and gave birth to Lang Jinzhi.
This is the information Zhong Yuhuan once got from Grandpa Ding sporadically.
Now they are sitting in a private dining room of a private restaurant and have just finished ordering.
After all the waiters left, Ding Qiuyue spoke again: "I heard from dad that you went to the orphanage to adopt two children on your mother's behalf."
Zhong Yuhuan nodded: "Yes."
"Are they recorded under the name of the Ding family or the Zhong family? Does Zhong Chi agree?"
"It is recorded in the name of the Ding family, but externally it is counted as the Zhong family." Zhong Yuhuan replied.
"When your mother died, did she really leave you a will like this, asking you to adopt and raise two boys on her behalf?"
"Yes." Zhong Yuhuan paused, and finally couldn't help but say: "If you have anything to say, why don't you just say it?"
"Adopting two unrelated children... have you thought about the future?" Ding Qiuyue paused, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and then continued: "Your grandfather made a will a few years ago, saying that in the future The property is divided between me and your mother, on a per-capita basis. These two children are recorded in the name of the Ding family, and they are also considered one of your mother's heirs. In other words, the property will be distributed to them in the future. "
Zhong Yuhuan's suspicion in his heart was suddenly confirmed.
really!
Came for the money.
Ding Qiuyue was worried that the two extra children would take away the Ding family's belongings.
Zhong Yuhuan understood in his heart, but there was still a bit of confusion on his face, and he asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Ding Qiuyue choked for a moment before continuing: "Do you think it's worth it to just distribute money to people who are not related by blood?"
"Auntie, I don't have a mother anymore, my father has a new family, and my grandfather is old. I have no family to rely on. They will be the family I can keep company with from now on. Of course it is worth it."
Ding Qiuyue seemed to find it a little funny. She whispered: "Yu Huan, you grew up in such a family and don't know the importance of money. You will regret it in the future. Besides, your cousin and I are not you. Where is your family?"
"You and your cousin are both very busy."
"You can call us. When your cousin and I are not free, we will send a secretary to help you."
"It's different. They can always be by my side. When I am sad, unhappy, and need to share my joy with others, they are there... Can I expect your secretary to share these with me?" Zhong Yuhuan pursed her lips. If she hadn't been concerned that Ding Ruxue's sister was in front of her, she would have turned against him.
The expression on Ding Qiuyue's face dimmed, and she said: "Since you think so, then fine, I won't advise you. But when you regret it in the future, don't say that Auntie didn't think about you."
Zhong Yu smiled happily: "Don't worry, when my mother enters my dream one day, I will definitely tell her that my aunt is very good to me."
The corners of Ding Qiuyue's mouth stiffened slightly.
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in with the dishes.
But Zhong Yuhuan didn't have the appetite to eat anymore. She stood up and said, "Auntie, my stomach doesn't feel right. I'm leaving first."
"Why don't you eat first before leaving?"
"No." Zhong Yuhuan covered his belly and walked out quickly without even looking back at Ding Qiuyue.
After leaving the hotel, Zhong Yuhuan took out his mobile phone and sent text messages to Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan.
"Are you in class?"
One person posted one.
Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan were already taking tutoring classes, and today they were tutoring in English. When the text message rang, the two of them took out their phones almost at the same time.
There are few contact information on their mobile phones, except for their classmates, it is Zhong Yuhuan.
In order not to miss Zhong Yuhuan's news, they set exclusive ringtones and did not mute their mobile phones. They just turned down the sound to the point where only they could hear it.
The two of them took out their mobile phones and saw Zhong Yuhuan's message. Their first reaction was that something was wrong.
Zhong Yuhuan never takes out his mobile phone to play with it when eating. This is always the case when eating with them, let alone when eating with elders.
Huo Chengming stood up faster.
The foreign teacher was startled by his actions and asked in broken Chinese: "What's wrong? Student Huo?"
"Something happened, sorry." Huo Chengming said hastily and went downstairs.
Li Jinyuan sent a text message back to Zhong Yuhuan first: "We are in class, isn't the food delicious?"
Zhong Yuhuan received the reply text message. She looked down and saw this message from Li Jinyuan.
She immediately replied: "Aren't you paying attention in class? Put your phone away."
After replying to the message, Zhong Yuhuan returned to the message receiving page, but did not see Huo Chengming's text message. Didn't Huo Chengming see it? Zhong Yuhuan sighed that Huo Chengming was really serious in class, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
What she said to Ding Qiuyue today was not a lie.
If at the beginning, she just wanted to change her original destiny and make friends with the young male protagonist and villain, then she gradually came into contact with her more. The two young boys were very good to her. All great.
Slowly, she separated them from the characters in the book and slowly saw them as real living people. She also really wants to grow up with them and treat them as her only support in this completely strange world.
Oh, of course, the other thing she relied on was money. Of course you can't live a good life without money.
Zhong Yuhuan put away his cell phone and walked forward slowly.
Are you going to their cram school to wait for them now? Is it better to go home directly? It’s better to just go home. When she gets home, she can take out the toys and play with them. She just bought a new box of toys last month.
Just as Zhong Yuhuan took two steps forward, his cell phone rang.
Um? Who called her again
Zhong Yuhuan took it out and saw the three characters "Huo Chengming" flashing on it.
Did Huo Chengming call her
Not in class
Zhong Yuhuan hesitated and finally answered the phone.
She was about to ask the other party if he was in class, but Huo Chengming's voice came out of the receiver earlier: "Huanhuan, where are you?"
"Well, I just came out of the restaurant. This is Shiweixuan, the one we have eaten at before."
"Stand there and don't move... Or you can walk towards the school..."
Zhong Yuhuan reacted immediately: "You want to come find me?"
"Yes." Huo Chengming responded in a low voice and hung up the phone.
Zhong Yuhuan looked around and saw a coffee shop next to him.
She couldn't just stand here and wait. After thinking about it, she entered the cafe.
Zhong Yuhuan didn't wait too long. It only took ten minutes from the time she hung up the phone to seeing Huo Chengming, and she only took two or three sips of coffee.
However, Zhong Yuhuan hadn't eaten dinner yet, and now he felt sick in his stomach after taking two sips of coffee.
She rubbed her stomach and walked out slowly.
Huo Chengming was about to call her when he turned around and saw Zhong Yuhuan.
He was already much taller, and he rushed in front of Zhong Yuhuan in a few steps. He gasped and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Zhong Yuhuan shook his head: "I won't eat."
"Does it taste bad?"
Zhong Yuhuan shook his head.
Huo Chengming pursed his lips and stood in front of Zhong Yuhuan with his tall figure, looking like a big tree. He asked: "Did she say something bad?"
Zhong Yuhuan raised his hand and tugged on his sleeve: "Brother Chengming, I have a stomachache."
Huo Chengming's expression suddenly changed. He turned around and squatted down with his back to Zhong Yuhuan: "I'll carry you on my back. Let's go eat and eat porridge."
Zhong Yuhuan slowly lay down, hooked his hands around his neck, and then slowly spoke: "Today, my aunt asked me if it was you and Li Jinyuan who were adopted..."
Huo Chengming responded in a low voice to show that he was listening.
Zhong Yuhuan roughly picked what Ding Qiuyue said and told him.
"It's just a little bit sad." Zhong Yuhuan curled his little finger in front of Huo Chengming's eyes and said, "Just a little bit."
She felt sad for Ding Ruxue and the original body.
Then she thought of her relatives in her previous life and how kind they were to her.
But now we are in a strange world and there is no way we can go back.
Huo Chengming carried her on his back and walked forward slowly, whispering as he walked: "I'm sorry."
"Why do you say sorry?"
"It's dragging you down."
"No." Zhong Yuhuan held him tighter and whispered in his ear: "If you are a bad person, it won't change just because I don't adopt you. You should think optimistically, The money I got has even increased.”
Huo Chengming's face was gloomy, the corners of his mouth were tightened, and his eye circles were slightly red, but he was speechless.
His hands cupped Zhong Yuhuan's waist, holding it tightly as if holding some rare treasure on his back.
"Will I make you taller?" Zhong Yuhuan lay on his back and whispered.
"Won't."
"Then carry me on your back more often."
"Okay." Huo Chengming said and stopped: "We're here."
Zhong Yuhuan looked up and saw the porridge shop right in front of him.
She was sliding off Huo Chengming's back, but Huo Chengming held her firmly and carried her through the door.
It was probably the first time for the waiter in the store to see someone entering the store like this. He was stunned for a moment, then straightened his expression and asked, "How many people are there?"
Zhong Yuhuan lay on Huo Chengming's back and immediately became condescending. She turned to the waiter and said, "I want a private room."
The waiter immediately took them to the private room.
Huo Chengming put her on the chair and then took off her uniform jacket.
Zhong Yuhuan looked up and saw sweat on Huo Chengming's neck and chest.
At this time Zhong Yuhuan's cell phone rang again.
Isn't it Li Jinyuan calling
Zhong Yuhuan took out his cell phone and glanced down. It turned out to be really Li Jinyuan calling.
"Hello."
"Huanhuan, where are you?" Li Jinyuan's voice came from the other end.
"What happened at the porridge shop?"
"That porridge shop near the school?"
"Well."
"Huanhuan, the teacher and I asked for leave. I'll come find you."
Li Jinyuan felt something was wrong ever since he received Zhong Yuhuan's text message. Normally at this time, she would rarely send them messages.
Li Jinyuan couldn't sit still anymore, so he left the classroom and called Zhong Yuhuan first.
Zhong Yuhuan responded: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay." After saying that, Li Jinyuan hung up the phone.
"Li Jinyuan will come over in a moment." Zhong Yuhuan raised his head and said to Huo Chengming.
Huo Chengming whispered: "Ignore him, let's eat first."
Zhong Yuhuan was indeed so hungry that his stomach ached, so he nodded and immediately ordered the food, asking the waiter to bring it to him quickly.
When Li Jinyuan arrived, Zhong Yuhuan had just eaten two mouthfuls of porridge.
Li Jinyuan quickly walked to the other side of Zhong Yuhuan and sat down. Then he looked at Huo Chengming and asked, "How long have you been here?"
Zhong Yuhuan swallowed a mouthful of food and whispered, "I came out of Shiweixuan just now, and brother Chengming came over. Well, he carried me here."
"What's wrong?" Li Jinyuan paused, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"My stomach hurts, but I'm fine now that I've eaten."
Li Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then eat more."
Zhong Yuhuan nodded.
Because Zhong Yuhuan was very hungry, and the other two young boys were also very hungry, everyone finished their meal quickly.
After paying the bill, everyone walked out of the door together.
But as soon as Zhong Yuhuan reached the steps, Li Jinyuan suddenly squatted down in front of her and said, "I'll carry Huanhuan back." After saying that, he turned to look at Zhong Yuhuan, his eyes filled with gentleness and expectation.
