Under the surprised gaze of the front desk clerk, Feng Jingrou choked up and finished the call with Qin Zheng.
The phone call was expensive, so she hung up after just a few words.
He took Qin Anan back to the room, forced himself to help her wash up, and then fell asleep with his daughter in his arms.
The next day when I went downstairs for dinner, Qin Zheng appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the guesthouse as if dropped from the sky.
"Jingrou, An'an!"
He came up with a face full of stubble, picked up Qin Anan with one hand and hugged Feng Jingrou with the other.
After talking to his wife on the phone yesterday, Qin Zheng was scared. He got a letter of introduction overnight and ran to the train station to catch the earliest train.
He didn't sleep a wink during the nearly 30-hour train ride.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to sleep, but when he thinks of his wife’s sad look, he can’t sleep at all. He just wants to rush to Feng Jingrou’s side immediately.
Feng Jingrou's emotions, which she had been hiding well after waking up this morning, collapsed the moment she saw Qin Zheng.
She hugged Qin Zheng tightly and cried loudly for a long, long time.
Until I cried until I had no more strength left and fell asleep again.
Qin Zheng settled her down and took Qin Anan downstairs to buy food. He learned the whole story from her thoughts.
While waiting for his meal, he stood outside the restaurant and smoked three cigarettes.
Looking at the people coming and going on the street through the swirling smoke, Qin Zheng was silent for a while, then slapped himself hard in the face.
He felt more distressed than anyone else to see his wife so sad.
He was thinking, if he hadn't fallen in love with Feng Jingrou at first sight, he would have been so persistent in getting her.
So, will Feng Jingrou not stay in the countryside?
If she doesn't stay in the countryside, her parents-in-law will not cut off ties with her.
After returning to her parents, she is still the beloved daughter and is happy now.
He kept asking himself, did he ruin Feng Jingrou's life?
If he had another chance to do it again, he would rather... No, he would still uncontrollably want to get close to her.
When they first met, the bright smile in Feng Jingrou's eyes was like a flame to a moth or a meat bun to a dog, a fatal temptation to him.
The restaurant owner came out with a lunch box: "Guest, your food is ready!"
Qin Zheng extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand against the wall and threw it into the trash can at the door of the restaurant. He took the dish from the boss and handed him the money.
The boss received the money, thanked him, and turned back to the store.
Qin Zheng thought about it and attributed the reason why his parents-in-law broke off relations with his wife to himself.
"Damn it, they just look down on me!" Qin Zheng muttered to himself fiercely. When he made something of himself, he would make his parents-in-law accept him as their daughter-in-law again!
The restaurant owner was frightened by him and quickened his pace to flee back into the store. After a while, when he saw Qin Zheng had left, he dared to come out to breathe, holding his chest.
He was really scared to death.
Qin Zheng held Qin Anan in one hand and carried food in the other, feeling no pressure at all.
After returning to the guesthouse, Feng Jingrou woke up after feeding Qin Anan.
Qin Zheng asked a lot of questions, fearing that his wife was feeling unwell, and he was relieved only after making sure that she was fine.
"Wife, you eat first."
He placed all the food in front of Feng Jingrou as if he were presenting treasures.
While watching her eat, he expressed his thoughts.
"Wife, the conflict between your parents-in-law and you is all because of me. If you really want a solution, I will..."
Feng Jingrou's heart skipped a beat: "I won't divorce you."
Qin Zheng was stunned. Seeing her cheeks bulging with the braised pork, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch them.
"Silly girl, who wants to divorce you?" The look in his eyes when he looked at Feng Jingrou was still as hot as when he was 20 years old.
"I'm saying, I have to work hard and become something great."
"If your parents-in-law don't like you staying in the countryside, then we should leave the countryside and move to the county or city."
"If they want you to return to Shanghai, I will buy a house and settle down here even if it costs me my life."
"Wife, believe me!"
He is willing to do anything as long as his wife is happy.
Qin Anan was sorting out the plot in her space, hoping to find the hidden plot about her grandparents. Before she found it, she heard her father say that he was going to settle down in Shanghai.
She immediately slipped out of the space and looked at Qin Zheng with sparkling eyes.
[Dad, you must keep your word!]
If you come to Shanghai, you must buy several properties. Especially in Pudong, which is about to be developed, you must treat buying a property as important as eating!
[An An's future of comfort depends entirely on you! My dear father.]
Qin Zheng looked at Qin Anan with a smile.
When he was in Hong Kong Island, he heard that Hong Kong people were keen on real estate speculation and that property prices were rising rapidly.
After returning home, I always hear An An talking about buying a house. Buying a house in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen...
Qin Zheng quietly memorized the names of these cities in his mind. He didn't have much money now, and all of it had to be used to run the kitchenware factory. When he had more spare money in the future, he would definitely give An An Duoduo a house.
"An'an, do you believe in your dad?" He asked Qin An'an with his chin raised, and secretly swore in his heart that he would become a father that An'an would be proud of in the future.
Qin Anan opened her little mouth, revealing a row of milky white teeth.
"Shanghai Stock Market...Houses...Believe it!"
Every word was pronounced very clearly.
[Buy a house for An An, and An An will believe it! ]
Qin Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It turns out An An is a little money-grubber! Haha!"
Buy, buy, buy. If he doesn’t buy a house for his beloved little daughter, what is he going to do with the money?
At night, Xiong Ying came back and Qin Zheng went back to his own room to sleep.
The next morning, the man disappeared.
He went to Shanghai University alone.
I walked around the campus for most of the day and asked many classmates before I found the Academic Affairs Office.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law used to be teachers in Shanghai. Qin Zheng thought he should be able to get their contact information here.
He was very polite and knocked on the door before entering the office. He approached like a mountain, but still scared the elegant and pretty female teacher.
After explaining his purpose, the female teacher looked at him more warily.
"We don't have the contact information for Professor Feng and Professor Zhong here. Please leave." The female teacher looked very unwelcome to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng was confused: "Teacher, I really have something to ask them."
"You guys all say the same thing." The female teacher's brows were so furrowed that they could kill a fly.
Qin Zheng: "We?"
Female teacher: "Yes, it's you loan sharks. You've hurt the two old professors so badly, and you still won't let them go? Are you leaving or I'm calling security!"
Even if Qin Zheng was slow-witted, he guessed that something had happened.
He slammed his big hand on the table.
"Tell me immediately where they are now. I am their son-in-law!"
The female teacher was horrified: "...Now loan sharks are all about pretending to be someone's son-in-law?"
