Dump Husband and Run Away with Baby - C228
“Yes, uncle has been very busy lately, so where do Anthea and Mommy live now? “Can you tell uncle that I’ll come visit you when I’m free?” Lei Zichen was gratified that Tao Tian didn’t say anything bad about her. This was the greatest kindness she could give him.
“I don’t know either, it’s just that there’s a very big market downstairs and it will be very lively at night,” An Xin tried her best to describe everything she knew to Lei Zichen.
“Oh? What else is there? ” Lei Zichen tried his best to search for places related to the night market, but there were many night markets in a bustling city like Yan City, “Good An An, what else is there? Are there any very tall buildings? ” Lei Zichen gradually began to lead the way.
“Uncle, the buildings here aren’t tall.” Anthea stood on the windowsill and looked around before replying.
“Not even one tall building?” Lei Zichen asked uncertainly.
“Hmm, not a single one.”
“Alright, uncle knows where you are now. When uncle is free, he will definitely come to see you.” Lei Zichen thought to himself that if there were no tall buildings and there were no night markets nearby, then there would only be the old city districts near Xing Huang Street. To be specific, he thought that a child like An An wouldn’t be able to explain anything, so he slowly searched for it himself.
“Uncle, I saw you on TV. Don’t be unhappy. Even if you’re unhappy, you’re not happy.” An An carefully used her childish words to comfort Lei Zichen, fearing that he would be unhappy.
“Peace …” On the way, Lei Zichen’s eyes reddened. He had never done anything before, yet he left such a deep impression on An An’s young heart, causing him to feel so worried for him.
“Alright, uncle will listen to you. In the future, uncle will not be unhappy as long as he thinks of An’an.” Lei Zichen choked with emotion. He felt even more ashamed of this little angel.
“Yay, that’s great,” Anthea said excitedly.
“Uncle, this is our secret, okay? Mommy didn’t know I called you. ” An An An whispered.
“Alright, An An, be good. Uncle will help An An keep this a secret.” An An’s words violently struck against the weakest line of defense deep in Lei Zichen’s heart.
“Alright uncle, I’ll ask mom for a call when I’m free.” An An said obediently, afraid that her willfulness would delay Lei Zichen’s work. ” “Goodbye uncle.”
“Alright, see you.” As Lei Zichen spoke, he hung up the phone, tears flowing down his face. He was a wise man, yet in front of his loved ones, he kept making mistakes. Just what could he do to make up for it?
As night fell, Ning Zhiyuan finished his day’s work and hurried off with Qing Qing, using the address given to him by Tao Tian.
Ever since the two siblings left, Tao Weiguang didn’t have much trust in the two of them, and Ning Zhiyuan was still better off. As for Qing Qing, Tao Weiguang often beat her up just because he suspected that the two of them only used this opportunity to escape, whereas Qing Qing was an accomplice.
When Ning Zhiyuan saw Qing Qing struggling to help, the two of them ended up becoming friends. Ning Zhiyuan simply married Qing Qing. After that, Tao Weiguang would no longer hurt Qing due to Ning Zhiyuan’s face.
After searching for a long time in a group of old buildings, the two of them finally found Tao Tian’s home.
“Ding dong.” After ringing the doorbell, the two more or less felt a bit nervous. After so many years, the world had changed, and they didn’t know what kind of person would be waiting for them.
“Yao Yao, your friend is here. I’m going to open the door.” Auntie Zhong wiped her hands on her apron as she walked to the door and opened it. Qing Qing and Ning Zhiyuan were standing there awkwardly.
“Hello Auntie, is this Tao Tian’s home?” Seeing that it was an unfamiliar woman, Ning Zhiyuan nervously asked, thinking that he had found the wrong path.
“Oh, you must be Heaven’s friends. Come in quickly.” Auntie Zhong greeted him warmly.
“Let me see who it is.” Soon after, Tao Tian came out of the kitchen.
“Qing Qing!” Qing Qing’s arrival surprised Tao Tian, “You! You two! ” He saw the two of them holding hands and shouting out loud in surprise.
“Miss, we are already married. Where’s your little darling? Quick, let us take a look.” She was also very excited to see Tao Tianqing. She somewhat embarrassedly admitted to the marriage news between her and Ning Zhiyuan.
“An An, come and see Mommy’s old friend.” Tao Tian shouted towards the bedroom.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps, and a boy with big eyes appeared in front of the two of them.
“Hello, uncles and aunties. My name is An An. I’m three years old this year.” Anthea introduced herself as if she was serious, and even compared the number ‘3’ with her chubby little hand.
“Hehe, so cute. Here, this is a gift from uncle and aunt.” Ning Zhiyuan handed over a child’s outfit.
“Mommy, can I have it?” An An’s small face looked towards Mummy with a pitiful expression.
“Of course you can, but what should An’an say?” Tao Yao asked with a smile.
“Thank you uncle, thank you auntie.” An’an received the gifts excitedly, bowing to the two as he spoke.
“An An’s so obedient.” Qing Qing and Ning Zhiyuan looked at each other and smiled.
“Sit down, the food is almost ready.” Auntie Zhong greeted the two of them.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is my stepmother.” Tao Tian said with a smile as he held Auntie Zhong’s arm.
“It’s the same as before …” Qing Qing was somewhat knowledgeable about Tao Tian’s background. She didn’t expect that in these three years, Tao Tian would actually find her mother.
“Yeah, then he belongs to Young Master!” Qing Qing immediately came to her senses. She looked at Auntie Zhong in surprise, unable to believe her eyes.
“Exactly, exactly.” Auntie Zhong nodded her head in acknowledgement.
“Auntie, we already know about what happened to Brother Ran. Don’t worry, Miss and I will not let Brother Ran die without some reason.” Ning Zhiyuan held Auntie Zhong’s hand and said indignantly. When Tao Ran’s death was mentioned, no one could get over it.
“Alright, let’s eat. Let’s talk while we eat.” Tao Tian said as he placed the dishes on the table.
“An An will go wash her hands with Grandma.” Tao Tian greeted everyone.
Qing Qing and Ning Zhiyuan raised their heads to observe the shabby house. They couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. The once rich young miss had now become an ordinary person living in such a shabby house. It was all fate that made a fool of her.
“Oh, I know, Mommy.” An An obediently went with Auntie Zhong to the bathroom.
“Miss, your baby is so cute. I remember when we left that year.” Qing Qing couldn’t help but sigh. “He doesn’t know himself …”
“Qing Qing, don’t spout nonsense!” Ning Zhiyuan interrupted Qing Qing. After all, it was a bit awkward to bring up such a topic at this moment.
“Oh, it’s okay. He doesn’t know yet.” On the other hand, Tao Tian had an indifferent expression.
When all the food had been prepared, everyone sat around and began to move.
“The dishes made by Miss are still the same as before.” Qing Qing said as she ate heartily.
“Miss Seriously, how have you been all these years?” Qing Qing was quite interested in Tao Tian’s experience these past few years.
“These three years are the happiest three years of my life. I don’t need to do anything, I only need to think about earning money and taking good care of myself.” Tao Yao said with a smile.
“Brother Zhiyuan, the reason I called you here today is to discuss something with you. I wonder if it’s possible.” With a sudden change in tone, Tao Tian said to Ning Zhiyuan.
“Miss, just tell me, as long as it is something that can help you and Brother Ran, I will do it.” Ning Zhiyuan said as he ate.
“I’ve compared the accounts of Tao’s family with those published over the years and found that there are very big loopholes. In fact, the net profit for all aspects isn’t that high, but the balance is shockingly high. It seems like Tao’s family has some other way of making money that can’t be revealed to the public.” Tao Tian voiced out his doubts.
“I want to investigate exactly what this part of the road to making money is about, and I also want to take Tao Weiguang’s life!” Tao Tian said this firmly as if she never realized the danger involved.
“Miss, this is very dangerous!” Ning Zhiyuan didn’t expect Tao Tian to have this kind of ambition. He nervously asked.
“Don’t worry, I won’t implicate you. You just need to help me do whatever you can. I’ll do the rest by myself.” Tao Tian didn’t want to implicate these two anymore, so he spoke with a resolute expression.
“Miss, what are you saying? We will help anything that can be helped. I have had enough of the torture and surveillance from master for so many years. You really don’t treat us as people!” Qing Qing loudly said. After all these years of living under the shadow of Tao Weiguang, only she herself knew how sad she had been.
“Miss, what do we need to do?” Ning Zhiyuan frowned, agreeing with Qing Qing’s words.
“Zhiyuan, I know that you’re the one negotiating the most recent transactions. Just help me get a detailed account.” “Qing Qing, are you still on duty in Tao Ran’s residence?” Tao Tian turned to ask Qing Qing.
“Yeah.” Qingqing nodded.
“Well, I remember one time I passed by my grandpa’s study and found out that it was not just a simple study, there seemed to be some hidden secret mechanism and unspeakable secrets. You go and help me investigate, but you have to pay attention to your own safety, if you can’t investigate it then don’t worry about putting yourself in danger.” Tao Tian warned. After experiencing life and death, Tao Tian was afraid that anyone around him would die because of him.
“Don’t worry Miss, we will.” Qing Qing pulled Ning Zhiyuan’s hand and nodded.
“Hur hur, I’ve given you all trouble again. Come, hurry up and eat. We’ll talk while we eat.” Tao Tian called out.
“An An, you picked out the carrots again!” Tao Tian was too busy speaking to notice that An An had mischievously picked out all of his carrots and tossed them on the table.
“But Mom, don’t you like it?” Anthea saw that her little scheme was discovered, and she stuck out her tongue as she spoke.
“This child’s taste when picking food is quite similar to Lei Dong’s.” Qing Qing said in a loud voice.
“Qing Qing, you’re talking nonsense again!” Ning Zhiyuan interrupted Qing Qing.
“Oh, miss.” Realizing that she had broken her promise, Qing Qing looked timidly at Tao Tian.
“Alright, alright.” Tao Tian smiled but didn’t take it to heart. It was as if everything had returned to the past.
After the serious business was done, everyone sat down to exchange greetings. Tao Yao told the two of them about her experiences in S City for the past few years until she met Lei Zichen again and was threatened by Irene.
