Ding Jinshi smiled but didn’t respond, though he felt that Aunt Xi’s words were true. Ding Long’s love for his daughter indeed had no boundaries. Whenever he went out, he would return with bags full of things, all for his daughter. Even things ant for teenagers, as long as he fancied them, he would buy and store them.
During Ding Jinshi’s postpartum period, Ding Father and Ding Mother had not co to the Ding Family, not even a phone call. The most frequent visitor was Zhou Chenyue. anwhile, Ding Long still hadn’t gone to the company, staying ho all day like an unemployed person, accompanying the mother and daughter.
Aunt Xi was an excellent cook, preparing a variety of delicious dishes for Ding Jinshi to restore her body during the confinent period. So, once Ding Jinshi completed her confinent, she was still not much different than before giving birth. Zhou Chenyue kept exclaiming that Ding Jinshi needed to lose weight.
"Oh stop it, Miss Biao, don’t encourage madam to do that. It’s the nursing period now, and also a ti to nourish the body. She shouldn’t fear getting fat; nutrition is most important. Besides, it’s only been a month, and she can’t move around much during confinent, so of course, she hasn’t slimd down that quickly!" Aunt Xi quickly stopped Ding Jinshi from having these thoughts, adding, "Furthermore, Sir doesn’t mind madam gaining a bit of weight. If Sir doesn’t mind, what’s madam worried about? Sir even said that seeing madam’s good appetite during the confinent, he’s planning to give a raise. Miss Biao, if you instigate this and Sir doesn’t give a raise, or worse, deducts my salary, what then?"
Aunt Xi’s latter words were said jokingly to lighten the mood, which indeed amused both Ding Jinshi and Zhou Chenyue.
Ding Baobei’s full moon banquet was organized with great festivity by Ding Long. Due to the nurous guests invited, Ding Father and Ding Mother, despite their discontent, attended the full moon feast because they valued their reputation. However, as grandparents, they ca empty-handed without any preparation, and upon seeing Ding Baobei in Ding Jinshi’s arms, they didn’t even put on a smile.
When Ding Father and Ding Mother heard the na Ding Long and Ding Jinshi had chosen for their daughter, they were so angry they felt a sharp pain in their lungs. When no one was around, Ding Mother, trembling with rage, said, "Just listen to this! They nad a money-losing girl Ding Baobei! Bah, what treasure is that! Look at that fox Ding Jinshi, she just gave birth to a money-losing thing. Look at how she glared at us earlier, as if her eyes were icy knives ready to chop us!"
Ding Father was equally upset. After all, since they had arrived, Ding Jinshi hadn’t even glanced at them, treating them as if they were invisible.
"This woman has enchanted our son so much that he doesn’t even go to the company anymore, always hanging around her and this little girl! We must get rid of her. A woman like this is unacceptable in the Ding Family!" Ding Father said. "Luckily, I had prepared in advance!"
Although there were many people at the full moon banquet, Ding Jinshi didn’t recognize many of them. She was exhausted from socializing. After walking around the banquet hall with the child for a while, she took the child to a hotel-provided lounge under the pretext of needing to feed her and escaped to relax.
"Madam, you haven’t eaten anything, which isn’t good for you. I’ll go outside and get so food for you." Aunt Xi saw that the child was already eating and felt sorry for Ding Jinshi, who hadn’t eaten.
"Alright, bring in an extra portion and eat with here." Ding Jinshi nodded in agreent, looking at her daughter, who at a month old was growing to resemble Ding Long more and more. She had already gotten used to and accepted the fact that her daughter was almost a spitting image of Ding Long.
