Seeing Ding Jinshi remain silent, the female colleague called out to her and asked, "Sister Jinshi, what do you think life is like for a woman married to a man like Ding Long? Could it be like people say, where wealthy couples live their own lives, the man with a mistress and the woman with a toy boy?"
"I don’t know." Ding Jinshi finally replied and returned to her office.
Ding Jinshi had read newspapers like this countless tis. After reading them, she always tossed them in the trash and never took them ho.
On the weekend, Ding Jinshi didn’t have to work. At ho, she told Ding Baobei that they would visit Aunt Zhou Chenyue to play. Ding Baobei was particularly happy about finally being able to go out with her mom rather than staying at ho, but she couldn’t help but ask about Ding Long.
"Mom, did Dad go on a business trip? I haven’t seen Dad in a long ti." Ding Baobei blinked up at her mother with a bit of a pout and asked dishearteningly, "Grandma said Dad doesn’t want us anymore, is that true?"
"Grandma said that?" Ding Jinshi turned to look at Aunt Xi. "Did the old lady co by?"
Aunt Xi hesitated a bit, seeing Ding Jinshi’s face darken, sighed, and nodded, "She ca by a few days ago with so newspapers. She said she was looking for you, but was actually intentionally trying to provoke you and Miss. Sir’s behavior is too outrageous! He hasn’t been ho for almost a month, claiming to be busy but actually has soone else outside. When the old lady ca over, she told Miss that Sir wanted to find her a stepmother and have a son with his new wife, and that he wouldn’t want you or Miss anymore. I was worried learning this would affect your work, so I told Miss not to tell you for now."
"Mom, what is a stepmother? Is she also a mom? Does Dad not want and Mom anymore?" Ding Baobei bit her lip, tears brimming in her eyes, "Mom, is it because Baobei was naughty and made Dad angry? Is that why he doesn’t want us?"
"Baobei is the best child in the world; it has nothing to do with you." Ding Jinshi held her daughter tenderly, deliberated for a mont, and finally spoke, "Baobei, if Dad wants to find you a new mom, would you be willing to leave this house with and go abroad to live? Would that be okay?"
Ding Baobei didn’t answer but threw herself into her mother’s arms, trembling and crying.
"Miss~" Aunt Xi sobbed as well, inwardly blaming Ding Long. The family had been fine at the beginning of the year, and now, so soon after, Sir has done this, leaving them so pitiful?
Ding Jinshi lightly shook her head at Aunt Xi, just about to speak when the doorbell rang.
"I’ll get the door." Aunt Xi said and walked to the door. Upon opening it, she saw two won standing outside. She called out, "Madam, the old lady is here!" Seeing the lady next to the elder, she was startled. She instantly recognized the woman as soone frequently photographed with Sir in the newspapers.
"It’s the weekend, is Ding Jinshi usually here?" Ding’s mother entered loudly, stepping into the living room with her high heels without changing her shoes. Seeing Ding Jinshi holding her daughter on the sofa, she pulled the woman next to her over, saying, "Sure enough, she’s here!"
Ding Jinshi glanced at Ding’s mother, turned to have Aunt Xi take her daughter to the upstairs bedroom. After seeing her daughter safely enter the room, she looked back at Ding’s mother, facing that domineering expression, and then glanced at the woman she had brought, furrowing her brow. "What brings you here so early?"
