Chapter 552 Meeting

Tan Chen, along with Gao Ming and Chen Xiangyang, hid in the location chosen during the day, intending to secretly protect Shang Ruoting.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Shang Lifeng's arrival.

At this moment, Shang Ruoting was a little nervous, fearing that Shang Lifeng would break the appointment. If so, it would be difficult to find an excuse to go to the kitchen to find him tomorrow.

I kept looking at my watch: ten, eleven six…eleven nine…midnight…

Three minutes after midnight, Shang Lifeng still did not show up.

Shang Ruoting was obviously a little anxious.

Gao Ming nudged Tan Chen lightly with his arm and whispered, "Boss, do you want me to go to the kitchen and take a look?"

Tan Chen shook his head gently: "Wait a moment."

It was not until a few minutes past midnight that a few people saw a dark figure sticking its head out of the cabin, looking around and walking towards the deck.

Tan Chen stared at the person who came, fearing that if this person was not Shang Lifeng, it would bring danger to his wife.

When the man came closer, Tan Chen saw the scar on his face in the moonlight, and then he gradually relaxed.

Shang Lifeng saw his daughter on the deck, took a few quick steps, pulled her to a secluded spot, and whispered, "Tingting, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Shang Ruoting didn't bother to answer Shang Lifeng's words. She stared at her, eager to get to the point.

Shang Lifeng felt a chill in his heart when he saw his daughter's unfamiliar attitude towards him.

However, he did not blame Shang Ruoting for her cold attitude. He was indeed not worthy of being a father.

"It's safe here for now. I'll make this short."

Shang Ruoting nodded and waited for Shang Lifeng to continue.

"Your mother and I left Sihe Village together and first took refuge with your great aunt. Later, we discovered that not only was it difficult to find a suitable job there, but it would also easily expose our identities. So we agreed to borrow some money for the journey south."

Shang Ruoting knew all of this, and she urged, "What happened next?"

Shang Lifeng smiled self-deprecatingly, "Later, when we were working in Pengcheng, we met a man who had dealings with a businessman from Hong Kong. He said that the businessman from Hong Kong was planning to hire a chef from the mainland.

I thought that I happened to have this skill, and if I went to Hong Kong, I wouldn't have to worry about my identity anymore and could walk around openly.

The time when I first arrived in Gangcheng was pretty good. The boss was very satisfied with my cooking skills, so he promoted me to head chef, and his business grew bigger and bigger.

Unexpectedly, one day, his son Liu Dingbing came to the store and fell in love with your mother at first sight."

Speaking of this, Shang Ruoting could see that Shang Lifeng felt embarrassed to speak.

But she felt that she needed to know about this matter.

Then he asked, "What happened next?"

Shang Lifeng sighed softly, his eyes drifting towards the sea, and continued, "In order to get your mother, Liu Dingbing would come to the store almost every day. I was planning to resign at that time and wanted to take your mother away from that place of trouble.

Just when I was getting everything ready and preparing to resign from my boss, I accidentally ran into your mother and Liu Dingbing together. They were acting so intimately that it was obvious they hadn't just met.

Shang Ruoting suddenly felt as if her breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't move it up or down. What kind of bullshit is this?

Shang Lifeng looked at his daughter with concern: "Tingting, if you feel uncomfortable, I will tell you about this later."

Shang Ruoting waved her hands: "I'm not feeling unwell." She just couldn't believe it.

My grandmother told me that Shang Lifeng and Chen Shurong had a good relationship back then. Otherwise, Shang Lifeng did not want to drag Chen Shurong down because of her background issue, and he proposed divorce many times, but she did not agree. Instead, she chose to run away with him without hesitation.

How can such a strong relationship change so easily?

Seeing that his daughter wanted to continue listening, Shang Lifeng gritted his teeth and told her something he never wanted to mention again in his life.

"I was so angry at the time that I pointed at the couple and started cursing. As a result, Liu Dingbing called in some thugs who beat and kicked me without giving me any explanation.

I was beaten unconscious on the spot. When I opened my eyes, I found myself locked in a small, dark room.

When the guard saw that I woke up, he immediately went out to call Liu Dingbing, who came with Chen Shurong in his arms.

I was unwilling to accept it, so I asked her in front of Liu Dingbing why she did this. She said that she had had enough of living with me, living in a precarious situation, and she regretted it.

When I heard her say that just now, I was still trying to find an excuse for her betraying me, but Liu Dingbing's words shattered the last bit of hope I had.
