In the afternoon, Qin Zheng rode his sidecar motorcycle to take Ye Yun and Xiao Hai to the garment factory.

Secretary Liu and Factory Director Chen expressed their shock.

Dongdong happened to be there too. Surprised, Director Chen asked Dongdong to take Xiaohai to play. Dongdong timidly greeted Xiaohai but was met with indifference.

Xiao Hai's experience of wandering and begging with his mother made him unable to easily trust people. His acquaintance with Qin Zheng and Ye Yun was due to his mother's instructions and because he genuinely felt their kindness.

Apart from these two, he remained wary of everyone, even Dongdong, who was the same age as him.

Dongdong is also a sensitive person.

Seeing that Xiao Hai kept a cold face and ignored him, and that his eyes even looked fierce when he looked at him, he unconsciously took a step back.

"Dongdong, didn't you want to make friends?"

Chen Zhenxing learned about Xiao Hai's background from Ye Yun and felt sorry for the poor child, so he encouraged Dongdong to take the initiative to contact Xiao Hai.

“You’re a bit older than Xiao Hai, so you should take on the role of the older brother. Be proactive and go.”

Dongdong looked nervous and hesitant as he looked at Xiaohai's aloof expression, still hesitant to approach.

Seeing this, Chen Zhenxing gently pushed him.

Dongdong was pushed to Xiaohai's side and stretched out her little hand to Xiaohai. Xiaohai was on high alert, took a step back, raised her little head and looked at Ye Yun with wary eyes.

Ye Yun was amused by him.

"Dongdong isn't a bad person. He just wants to be your friend. You'll spend more and more time playing together in the future, so don't worry, go play with him." She spoke softly, patting the little guy's shoulder to comfort him.

Hearing this, the child's gaze returned to Dongdong, and he reached out a hand to him.

Dongdong immediately grasped his hand.

Having been a few years older and having spent some time with Chen Zhenxing, Dongdong's personality was much purer than Xiaohai's, and he was the first to show a bright and friendly smile.

Two children are playing in the factory yard.

The small figure squatted on the ground arranging stones. Dongdong was arranging the stones, while Xiaohai watched quietly from the side, occasionally glancing at Ye Yun.

"This child is quite attached to you."

Liu Wan couldn't help but tease her.

Ye Yun took a sip of tea and noticed Xiao Hai frequently glancing at her. A smile appeared in her eyes. "His mother entrusted him to me. There are no people here who he knows. Although he is young, he has seen a lot of the wickedness of human nature. He is sensitive and afraid that I will abandon him."

"You're just going to take him with you like this?"

"Speaking of which, I was just about to ask Director Chen."

Ye Yun replied to Liu Wan, then turned her inquisitive gaze to Chen Zhenxing, "Where does Dongdong go to school? What are the requirements for getting into the school?"

"You want to send this child to school?"

A look of doubt flashed across Chen Zhenxing's face. Why did he have to put in so much effort for a child he had taken in?

"right."

Ye Yun agreed, her gaze falling on the small figure squatting on the ground with Dongdong not far away. "Since I've kept him, I naturally have to be responsible for his life. I don't expect him to have a life of luxury, but at the very least, I want him to be able to eat his fill, stay warm, and have access to education, just like other children."

Chen Zhenxing showed admiration.

“Okay, leave this to me. Why don’t we let him attend the school Dongdong attends? It’ll be easier to take care of the two kids going to and from school together.”

"Can."

After finalizing Xiao Hai's schooling arrangements, Ye Yun then asked Dong Dong why he was with Chen Zhenxing.

Logically speaking, Dongdong was Wang Dongxiang's trump card in controlling Chen Zhenxing. Wang Dongxiang did not want a divorce, and holding her son in her hands was enough to buy her time and give her a chance to remarry Chen Zhenxing.

"Her...sigh."

When Wang Dongxiang was mentioned, Chen Zhenxing waved his hand with an embarrassed expression, as if he didn't want to talk about her.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow.

"Wang Dongxiang has been taken to the police station," Liu Wan said calmly when she saw that Chen Zhenxing didn't want to talk about it.

Seeing the difference in Ye Yun's gaze, she explained slowly, "Not long after you went back, she came to see me and told me to stay away from Director Chen."

"But as you know, during that time, Director Chen and I didn't even meet, so what was the point of talking about distance?"

“She didn’t believe me and insisted that I had seduced her, which was why Director Chen insisted on divorcing her. After I left, she even brought her two cousins ​​to kidnap me.”

"It turned out that it was too dark that night, and her two cousins ​​mistook her for someone else and kidnapped the wrong person. They kidnapped the girl who came out of the restaurant with me."

"The girl who was kidnapped comes from a family that isn't easy to deal with either. The two kidnappers implicated Wang Dongxiang, and they immediately arrested her and took her to the police station. She'll be on trial in the next few days."

"Dongdong had no one to look after him, which is why Director Chen had the opportunity to bring him to the factory."

It was only after Dongdong's arrival that Chen Zhenxing stopped deliberately avoiding her. Their relationship improved considerably because of the child, unlike before when they felt extremely awkward whenever they were alone together.

Good heavens, wouldn't you say Wang Dongxiang has shot herself in the foot?

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, what do you think will happen to Wang Dongxiang?"

“Her behavior was quite serious. The girl struggled fiercely when she was tied up and was slapped twice, losing two teeth. Her two cousins ​​even said that Wang Dongxiang was going to sell people to the mountains. She was suspected of kidnapping and human trafficking at the same time. The girl’s family refused to let it go and threatened to have her shot.”

Liu Wan felt pity and sighed.

"Although it's not that serious according to the law, that girl's family is no ordinary people. Wang Dongxiang will probably spend the rest of her life in prison."

Although she had always disliked Wang Dongxiang and despised her for abandoning Chen Zhenxing for money.

But the thought of Dongdong, who was so well-behaved and sensible, now having a mother in prison and being called the son of a convict made me feel heartbroken.

A small figure squatting on the ground playing not far away seemed unaware of what had happened.

Her little face was flushed red by the autumn wind, and her upturned eyes were full of purity and innocence as she held the hand of her friend and laughed with her.

What a pity.

"Now that Wang Dongxiang is in jail, what will happen to Director Chen's marriage to her?"

"Leave, keep leaving."

When Chen Zhenxing said this, a deep sense of anger and disappointment towards his son's lack of ambition appeared on his face.

He never imagined that Wang Dongxiang would be so vicious as to hire someone to kidnap Liu Wan and then sell her into the mountains.

He thought this woman was stupid and vain, but he never expected her to be so vicious.

If it weren't for the clever girl who was mistakenly kidnapped and happened to run into the night patrol officers, they would have succeeded and caused irreparable consequences!

He would never dare to have a woman like that again.

The idea that couples should share both joy and sorrow is a lie.

The love between them had long since vanished, or perhaps they never had any feelings for each other at all. From the day they got married, he had been the one who unilaterally played the role of husband, while Wang Dongxiang saw him only as a man of wealth and status.

When he went bankrupt, when his title as the garment factory manager lost its prestige.

She decisively abandoned him.

Now that Wang Dongxiang has brought this upon herself, he's too busy trying to get ahead of her, so what's the point of talking about sharing weal and woe?
