"Hi…"
Ding Zhong sighed first. He didn't want to discourage a young man's ambition, but Wang Mingyuan wouldn't let it go and kept humiliating Wang Wei, which made Ding Zhong very unhappy...
"Mingyuan, when your parents named you, they must have wanted to tell you: 'Without tranquility, one cannot achieve far-reaching goals; without a detached mind, one cannot clarify one's ambitions…'"
But look at yourself now, looking down on ordinary people with a superior gaze, forgetting that you yourself are just an ordinary person...
I adopted Wang Wei as my godson not only because he protected my father's ashes, that was only a minor reason...
Xiaowei possesses a deep sense of patriotism that transcends his own limitations, which is what I admire most. He is able to use his wealth to give back to society, something that wealthy people can only dream of but never achieve…
His kindness is infectious, and although he grew up in adversity, it didn't dull his edges; instead, it made him even more brilliant. Who wouldn't like such a young man?
Ding Zhong's words were like a gentle breeze, instantly filling Wang Qiang and Zhou Cui with pride, and the feelings of inferiority they had just felt because of Wang Mingyuan were beginning to dissipate...
Wang Wei witnessed all of this and admired Ding Zhong even more. Not only was Ding Zhong academically brilliant, but his emotional intelligence was also admirable.
His words not only politely declined Wang Mingyuan's offer but also reassured Wang Wei's parents and deepened Wang Wei's respect for him...
Wang Mingyuan's eyes kept shifting. Regardless of whether he was truly convinced or not, his goal of using the suppression of Wang Wei to elevate himself had failed to be achieved today...
"Mr. Ding, I realize my knowledge is insufficient. I will definitely use what I have learned to give back to society in the future..."
How much of that is true or false, only heaven knows…
"Very well, I have guests to meet today. If you're really free, go back to the lab and organize your experimental data. The experiment is at a critical stage, and we can't afford any problems..."
Ding Zhong didn't yell at Wang Mingyuan or distance himself from him; instead, he used his tolerance to guide those around him in a positive direction.
"yes…"
Wang Mingyuan turned and left with his men, but before leaving, he looked at Wang Wei and said...
"Wang Wei, Yin Chen will never come back to you. Just give up on that idea..."
Wang Wei naturally scoffed at Wang Mingyuan's words. His woman wasn't someone anyone could just take away. Even without the system, their relationship wasn't something anyone could easily destroy, let alone with the system's guarantee...
"Don't worry, Yin Chen will come back to me sooner or later. Your little tricks are no match for our relationship..."
Wang Wei said calmly, not taking the other person's words to heart at all...
"We'll see..."
After speaking, Wang Mingyuan turned and left, his eyes filled with contempt and threat towards Wang Wei…
After Wang Mingyuan turned to leave, Ding Zhong said apologetically.
"Brother Wang, sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I never expected such an unpleasant thing to happen. Please don't take it to heart..."
"Brother Wang, sister-in-law, hello! Let me introduce myself. I'm Ding Yao, Ding Zhong's younger sister. It's such a pleasure to meet you today. My brother has been saying he wants to meet you to see what kind of outstanding parents could raise such an excellent child as Wang Wei..."
Ding Yao chimed in, not wanting to be outdone, making no attempt to hide his praise for Wang Wei's parents...
This made Wang Wei's parents a little embarrassed. They were from the countryside and were not good with words. Being praised like this, they were at a loss for words, scratching their heads in embarrassment.
Wang Qiang spoke first.
"Please, you two great scientists, don't say that. We're just ordinary people. It's an absolute blessing for my child to have you as his godfather and aunt..."
"Brother Wang is mistaken. It's my blessing to have such a loyal and devoted adopted son as Xiaowei. This meal is on me; consider it a token of my appreciation as his younger brother..."
Ding Zhong said with a smile, his words showing no awkwardness or disdain for Wang Wei's parents, but rather a genuine respect for them as family…
"How can this be? My son's allowance comes from you, and we've already received such a great favor from you. How can we let you spend even more money on him..."
A debt of gratitude? Pocket money?
"Ah... these are all minor matters. My godfather is usually very busy and doesn't take them seriously. Besides, you said that my allowance comes from my godfather, so whether I treat him or he treats me, it's all the same..."
Wang Wei quickly spoke up, which made Ding Zhong immediately realize that Wang Wei must be afraid that his parents wouldn't accept it, so he pushed all the good things onto him...
This made Ding Zhong blush. He hadn't done anything, yet he'd gained such a good reputation for nothing, which made him quite embarrassed...
Seemingly noticing his brother's embarrassment, Ding Yao smiled and said...
“You can’t be so formal with my brother. We’ve worked hard our whole lives and still don’t have any children. Now that we finally have such an outstanding descendant like Xiaowei, we naturally want to leave everything to him…”
Hearing the implication in his sister's words, Ding Zhong quickly echoed her.
“That’s right, we make so much money but have nowhere to spend it, and we dedicate all our time to research. Now that we have Xiaowei, it’s natural to entrust it to him…”
Wang Wei understood the meaning behind their words and was inwardly shocked. He hadn't expected Ding Zhong and Ding Yao to treat him as their heir. This not only made him feel flattered but also unreal.
With their combined patented technology, the patent fees they collect are astronomical. Even if their descendants for three generations were to become impoverished, there wouldn't be any problem...
"Xiaowei, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Ding and Auntie. From now on, you have to treat Mr. Ding even better than your own father..."
Wang Qiang scolded his children, which instantly brought Wang Wei back to his senses. He looked at Ding Zhong and Ding Yao and said...
"Godfather, Aunt, you don't need to do this. You know my situation..."
"No need to say anything more. What's yours is yours, and what we're giving you is our token of appreciation. You can't refuse..."
Ding Yao interrupted Wang Wei, preventing him from continuing...
After getting to know each other for a while, the group started chatting. Wang Qiang and Zhou Cui recounted embarrassing stories about Wang Wei from his childhood, which made Ding Zhong and Ding Yao laugh heartily. It was clear that they were genuinely happy today…
Their relationship quickly warmed up, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, and they even had a few drinks...
"Ding! Successfully freeloaded a meal. The quest is in progress. Freeload eight more meals randomly to unlock a random reward..."
