Da Biao's face stiffened for a moment, then he forced a smile.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? I only scolded you a couple of times!"
Dingxiang was surprised by what the other party said. She looked at Chen Jiayi with a very pale face. Seeing Chen Jiayi's indifferent expression, the little girl realized that Chen Jiayi did not intend to help her.
More and more people gathered around, and some started talking.
"Is this child really this man's daughter? Why is she so thin?"
Da Biao obviously heard it, and he immediately sighed.
"Sigh, my wife died young. I'm struggling to support a family of six on my own, it's just too much, so the food isn't good..."
Dingxiang watched helplessly as the other party blatantly lied, and she shook her head frantically in terror.
"No! No! He's not my biological father. My biological father is Ding Haowen!"
A strange look flashed in Da Biao's eyes, and then he put on a very sad expression.
"Child, even if your family isn't well-off, you can't just throw yourself at people who are well-off, can you?"
Those around could tell that the woman Dingxiang was clinging to did indeed come from a fairly well-off family.
After watching the show for a while, Chen Jiayi realized that the other party was a human trafficker, and she chuckled softly.
You said you're her father?
Da Biao nodded. "Yes."
If Chen Jiayi's bodyguard hadn't restrained him, he could have taken Dingxiang and Chen Jiayi away together right now.
Chen Jiayi gave an "oh" and looked at the human trafficker in front of her with a half-smile.
Are you sure it's her father?
The human traffickers were speechless when they saw the look in Chen Jiayi's eyes.
He stared at the radiant woman in front of him. Her demeanor and the fact that she always had bodyguards with her told him that this radiant woman was no ordinary person.
Da Biao doesn't even want Dingxiang anymore! He just wants to leave!
But when I think about how I've worked so hard to pursue this for so long, and how frustrated I've been for so long...
Right now, it's clearly within easy reach.
Da Biao stared at Ding Xiang with a gloomy look in his eyes. Ding Xiang was so frightened that she subconsciously looked away and tightly grabbed Chen Jiayi's pants.
Although she was young, she knew who looked tough and who looked easy to mess with.
Chen Jiayi's attitude was cold and indifferent, clearly indicating that she didn't want to care about her current situation.
Every time Li Yuzhu gets angry, she puts on a cold face.
At first, Dingxiang didn't know what she had done wrong. It wasn't until she realized that Li Yuzhu was simply venting her emotions on her that little Dingxiang learned to read people's expressions.
Having experienced so much, Chen Jiayi could easily tell what Dingxiang was thinking.
She had no interest in paying attention to a little kid.
However, Chen Jiayi really didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
This child, Dingxiang, is the child of the mistress and her ex-husband. Chen Jiayi helped take care of the child for a while before sending her to the police station to notify the Ding family. She had already done more than enough.
Now, those unpleasant memories occasionally surface before her, as if reminding her of something.
Da Biao's face turned ashen, and he finally gritted his teeth and said.
“Child, I know you feel bad that your father is poor. But given the current situation, I’m working hard to earn money, and there’s really no other way… You can’t treat your father like this!”
People around Dingxiang started pointing and whispering. Faced with their stares and veiled accusations, Dingxiang didn't know what to do.
She slowly loosened her grip, feeling utterly powerless to change anything...
Chen Jiayi glanced down at Dingxiang and spoke in a very calm tone.
"You say you're her father, so what's his name? What's her mother's name?"
Da Biao originally wanted to give up on Ding Xiang, but he couldn't bear to let the duck that was about to be eaten fly away.
He thought to himself that he could just make up a few names randomly, since the other party wouldn't know anyway.
So, Da Biao made up two names.
"The girl's name is Dingxiang, and her mother's name is Cuihua."
Da Biao managed to get Ding Xiang's name out of her last night, but Ding Xiang didn't actually know her mother's name...
All she knew was that her father called her mother Yuzhu, but Dingxiang didn't really know her mother's surname.
Upon hearing the other person say that her mother's name was Cuihua, Dingxiang immediately denied it.
"You're talking nonsense! My mother's name isn't Cuihua."
Chen Jiayi curled her lips, "Her mother's name is Li Yuzhu, and her father's name is Ding Haowen. You're telling me you're her father?"
When Da Biao saw that the other party accurately named Ding Xiang's parents, his face turned pale.
He didn't know Ding Haowen's wife's name, but Lin Yuyao had asked them to keep an eye on Ding Haowen, so how could Da Biao not know Ding Haowen's name?
When those around them saw that the other version of events was inconsistent, they were all unsure of whom to believe.
Chen Jiayi said to A Long, "A Long, call the police and send them both to the police station. As for Ding Xiang, contact her family to take her home."
Dingxiang blinked. "Auntie, the lady next door said my parents moved. What does that mean?"
The child was dressed in tattered clothes and looked so thin.
If it weren't for Chen Jiayi taking care of Dingxiang in her past life, she probably wouldn't have recognized her.
In her past life, when Chen Jiayi was raising Dingxiang, she would give her the best things first, and the best food would be given to her first.
Chen Jiayi was not surprised at all that Dingxiang had grown up to look like this in this life.
She glanced at Dingxiang and simply took out a ten-yuan note from her bag.
"Moving means that your family moves to a new place to settle down."
"Go to the police station with this uncle, and the police officer will help you find your parents."
"Take this money and use it to buy some food."
When Dingxiang heard that she had to go back to her parents' house, a look of fear appeared in her eyes.
"Oh, this child looks so pitiful. She's a girl, and so young, I guess she doesn't know what to do."
"That woman is so kind! It's a good thing she brought a bodyguard today, and luckily she knows this girl's parents. Otherwise, they would probably both have been taken away by human traffickers!"
"This human trafficker is despicable. Fortunately, he was caught and executed."
"..."
Dingxiang didn't know why, but she really wanted to get close to Chen Jiayi, but she was also afraid that the other person didn't like her.
She thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking.
"Auntie, could you please adopt me?"
Chen Jiayi lowered her eyes and looked intently at Dingxiang.
A calculating glint flashed in Dingxiang's eyes; after all, she was still young and couldn't keep things to herself.
She's so young and already knows how to plan for her future. Ever since Dingxiang was abducted, everyone has said that Dingxiang looks silly, but Chen Jiayi doesn't think she's silly at all.
Chen Jiayi smiled and said, "No, Auntie is still studying."
Upon hearing Chen Jiayi's refusal, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Ding Xiang's eyes.
However, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Okay... Auntie is so beautiful. I wish I were her daughter."
Chen Jiayi smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Dingxiang's words seemed unintentional, but only Chen Jiayi knew the truth...
