The Second Part Chapter 257: Tingting Wants to Be a Chestnut

.Gu Ruandong is not a man who indulges in pleasures and fleeting romances. His life is consumed by various business dealings and intricate affairs, like a machine with its gears perpetually turning, d...Although shrouded in the shadow of bankruptcy, he and his team have been frequently traveling between Beijing and Shenzhen recently, securing agency rights for several office buildings.

When everyone thought he would be devastated, he actually regrouped at lightning speed. Their main strategy was to focus on the commercial sector first, and then attack the residential market when the time was right.

Choosing Senzhou and Jingcheng is also because these cities are more open and have a huge market with strong compatibility.

When subordinates talked about the company's current situation, they were inevitably filled with enthusiasm, like they had been injected with chicken blood. After all, they thought Zhao Tingxing would continue to follow the old path of real estate development. If so, the road ahead would be long and difficult, and there might be no chance for them to turn things around. So he didn't insist on that path, but chose a different one instead.

These subordinates had always been particularly trusting of Zhao Tingxing, which is why they hadn't chosen to resign in the first place. Now, in such a short time, they saw that the company wasn't sinking like a shipwrecked vessel as the outside world predicted, but rather blossoming like spring shoots, with an incredibly strong vitality, steadily climbing higher and higher, unstoppable. How could they not be excited

Zhao Tingxing let them chatter on. He just drank in silence. Halfway through, he found it boring and that he had little in common with them. He went to the front desk to pay his bill early without saying goodbye and left directly.

It was just past nightfall, the streets were bustling with people, illuminated by vibrant lights and brimming with lively bars. He was slightly tipsy from drinking and unsure of where to go next.

When Han Zhao's video call came, he sat directly on the marble in a planter by the street. The night lamp in the planter illuminated him, making his features particularly prominent on the video.

"Zhao Tingxing, have you been drinking"

The little punk wouldn't even call his father. He snarled softly, "What the hell do you care if I drink or not."

“You're my dad, I don't care about you, who cares about you.” Han Zhaoyi made a funny face at the camera.

Zhao Tingxing's heart crease softened a little, he had been glaring angrily just a moment ago, but now his expression was more relaxed. He muttered a curse under his breath at the troublemaker.

Han Zhao Yi said again: "Oh, no, if you marry someone else and have a younger brother or sister, then someone else will take care of them, and I won't have to worry about you anymore."

Zhao Tingxing: "What nonsense is this."

"My mom said that if you marry someone else, I'll gain a new mom, and maybe even a new brother or sister."

Zhao Tingxing: "Am I full of nothing Your one breath is enough for me."

Why does this woman talk to everything like a child

As they were about to hang up after some casual chatter under the night light, Zhao Tingxing suddenly asked, "Why don't you go to school in Senzhou"

Living in the capital city, he's acting like a left-behind child.

Han Zhao Yi didn't mind at all: "Because Mom is busy with work and doesn't have time to take care of me. My grandparents and godmother are very good to me."

"And my mom comes to see me whenever she has free time on the weekends."

Han Zhao Yi was rambling in the video, while Zhao Ting Xing listened halfheartedly here, thinking to himself that this little rascal had a surprisingly sunny disposition.

Over the past few years, she has made it a point to fly back home to see Han Zhao Yi whenever she had free time. Besides, she also had many clients in the capital city, so she frequently traveled there for business, meaning they spent quite a bit of time together.

She checked out early from her southwest hotel and rebooked, without going to the appointment. This kind of dinner gathering meant nothing to her, and she didn't want any contact with Zhao Tingxing.

I've been buried in work for a few days, submitted the new design to Mr. Wang, and finally got some relief. So I flew to Beijing on Friday night to see Han Zhaoyi for the weekend. It just so happens that there's a project meeting in Beijing on Monday.

She didn't arrive until almost 9 p.m. The alley where Yi's house was located still had a few people strolling and enjoying the cool evening air at this time. From afar, she saw a black car parked at Yi's doorstep with three people standing beside it: Zhao Tingxing and the tall beauty she had seen in the southwest, as well as Han Zhaoyi. Han Zhaoyi still had his backpack on, apparently having gone out to play with them after school and was just sending him back now.

It's very lively and heartwarming, it feels like a real family.

Yi family's elders came out from the door and led Han Zhaoyi back home.

Han Li stood in the alley beside Hu Yi, watching without making himself known. He saw Han Zhaoyi being led home and saw Zhao Tingxing's black car carrying the girl pass before his eyes.

Because the hutong was not wide, the car drove slowly. Han Li could see clearly. Zhao Ting on the driver's seat had a gentle expression, and the girl in the passenger seat smiled gently.

They look quite well suited.

She waited outside for a while before returning home.

Han Zhao Yi saw her and excitedly rushed over: "Mom, how did you get here"

She rubbed his head and said, "Come back and keep me company."

"You could have come earlier, Dad and Aunt Yan just left."

She nodded, put down her bag, and greeted the two elders of the Yi family.

Two old people smiled and said, "He was happy today, he went to the playground after school and played there until now. He is still excited and doesn't want to sleep."

The two elders knew that Han Li was a generous person, so they didn't mince words. If it were a petty woman, they naturally wouldn't dare to say that the child had a great time playing with their father and stepmother.

As for why it's said that she is a stepmother, because they have sent Han Zhaoyi back twice together, they must be that kind of relationship.

Mom arrived, and the little man Han Zhao Yi was about to stick by her side. He got excited and kept telling her about where he was going to play after school.

Han Li helplessly said to the two elders, "You guys go rest. I'll keep him company for a while."

Only the mother and son remained in the living room.

Han Zhaoyi explained to her in detail about their plans for the evening. Finally, he said, "Auntie Yan only joined us for dinner. She came to talk to Dad, so we had dinner together, and then she just sent me back home."

Whether it was the excitement of being a child wearing off, or just because he was tired, he fell asleep after talking for a while. Han Li had to put in some effort to carry him back to his room.

As I was getting ready to take a shower, I heard someone ringing the doorbell outside.

So late Who is it

Fearing she might wake the elderly and the children, she quickly ran over to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Zhao Tingxing stood there. He clearly hadn't expected Han Li to open the door, so he was taken aback as well.

Han Li's expression was cold. "What is it"

Zhao Tingxing raised the cartoon water bottle in his hand: "Han Chaoyi's water bottle fell off the car. He said he had to use this water bottle to drink water."

So, since he had already arrived at the hotel, he specially came back to send it.

"Thank you." Han Li took the water pitcher and prepared to close the door.

Zhao Tingxing asked, "Are you here on business"

"Come see Han Zhao Yi." After saying that, she closed the door and walked back to the main house.

I don't want to have any further entanglement with Zhao Tingxing. When I loved, it was true love, and I did everything I could to be with him. But now that there is no hope, I will not drag things on or hold onto even a sliver of feeling.ieved good results. Under the rigorous training of Song Jingye and Instructor Zhang and others this time, she passed all the assessments. So, she originally just wanted to browse the results casually,...
