In the dark and damp shabby hotel, Duan Meimei's belly has become bigger and bigger, but she herself has become so thin that her bones are visible.
Duan Chengyi pushed open the door, holding a half-eaten loaf of bread in his hand, which he had dug out from the trash can. The situation outside was still very tense, and in order not to be discovered, he could only dress up as an old scavenger and rummage through the trash can.
This half piece of bread was the only edible and relatively clean thing he found after searching through the trash can.
Duan Meimei was already very thin and was about to give birth. She was lacking in nutrition, so Duan Chengyi gave half of the bread to Duan Meimei without hesitation so that she could eat something and replenish her strength.
Seeing this half piece of bread, Duan Meimei shook her head and refused to eat it.
"Dad, you've worked hard for a long time. You should eat by yourself." Duan Meimei also felt sorry for Duan Chengyi. After all, he used to be the chairman of the group, but now he has become a poor and destitute old scavenger. He finally picked up half a piece of bread, and he had to give it to her.
Duan Chengyi's hands were shaking as he insisted that Duan Meimei take the bread. "You need nutrition right now. Eat it, eat it."
In fact, Duan Meimei was also very hungry. Seeing that Duan Chengyi refused to eat, Duan Meimei made up her mind and took the bread and took a few bites.
Although it was picked up from the trash can, Duan Meimei felt that it was extremely sweet and more delicious than any high-end dessert she had eaten before.
Maybe people are very hungry and think anything tastes good.
After eating half of it, there was still half left. Duan Meimei couldn't bear to see Duan Chengyi starve, so she gave the remaining half to Duan Chengyi.
"Dad, eat something to replenish your strength." Duan Meimei said with tears in her eyes.
This time Duan Chengyi did not refuse. He took the bread and stuffed it into his mouth in no time. He swallowed it without even chewing it. Seeing Duan Chengyi so miserable, Duan Meimei couldn't stop crying.
Duan Meimei sobbed and handed Duan Chengyi a bottle of water. "Slow down, drink some water, don't choke."
Seeing Duan Chengyi gulping down the water, Duan Meimei felt heartbroken.
Their current miserable situation is all caused by Jiang Ranran. After she gives birth to the child, she will definitely seek revenge on Jiang Ranran!
One night a few days later, Duan Meimei suddenly felt a stomachache in her sleep. She screamed frantically. Duan Chengyi hurried over and blocked Duan Meimei's mouth with a towel.
Duan Chengyi cried like a tearful man. He held Duan Meimei's hand tightly and said, "Meimei, you have suffered so much. You have tried so hard to give birth to the child. Daddy really can't find a doctor for you."
Duan Meimei suffered a lot that night. She gave birth to the child alone after going through untold hardships and cut the umbilical cord herself. When Duan Chengyi went to hold the child, he found that it was a very thin baby girl.
After cleaning the child, Duan Chengyi held the child to show Duan Meimei, but Duan Meimei turned her head away in disgust.
"Meimei, look, this child looks like you." Duan Chengyi's eyes were filled with joy. After all, this was his granddaughter. He was a grandfather, and what grandfather didn't like his granddaughter?
Duan Meimei turned around with a cold expression, took a quick glance, and said with disgust, "He clearly looks like that bastard."
Whenever she saw this bastard, she would think of Han Ziyi's disgusting face. Duan Meimei was already merciful by not strangling her to death.
Knowing that Duan Meimei didn't want to recall Han Ziyi, Duan Chengyi held the child alone and fed her some water.
After a few days of simple recuperation, Duan Meimei was finally able to get out of bed. The first thing she did after being able to walk was to send the child away to be raised by that bitch Jiang Ranran. She didn't want to wait any longer.
Seeing Duan Chengyi holding the child and teasing her cheerfully, his eyes full of love, Duan Meimei felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. She walked up to Duan Chengyi coldly and said, "Dad, it's almost time. We should send her away."
Upon hearing Duan Meimei's words, the smile on Duan Chengyi's face froze. He sighed deeply, "It's time to send her off. Let's leave now."
Having said that, Duan Meimei still saw the reluctance in Duan Chengyi's eyes, but she ignored it.
Duan Chengyi and Duan Meimei disguised themselves simply, wrapped themselves tightly, and then took the child in their arms and walked out of the hotel where they had been staying for nearly a year.
The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, and Duan Meimei was somewhat uncomfortable with it. In order not to leave any traces and arouse suspicion, they set out on foot. By the time they arrived at the door of the orphanage, it was already night.
There were few people at the entrance of the orphanage. Duan Chengyi and Duan Meimei looked at each other, and Duan Chengyi put the child at the door.
Before leaving, Duan Chengyi looked at the baby reluctantly, feeling his heart bleeding.
Duan Meimei, however, had no reluctance to leave and pulled Duan Chengyi to leave. Duan Chengyi looked back every step of the way. When he finally made up his mind and was about to run away with Duan Meimei, a luxury car stopped in front of Duan Meimei and Duan Chengyi.
Several strong men jumped out of the car and pulled Duan Meimei and Duan Chengyi into the car.
"Who are you? What are you going to do?!" Duan Chengyi was extremely panicked. He thought it was the police coming to arrest him, but as soon as he got in the car, Duan Chengyi found that these were definitely not the police.
There was a beautiful woman sitting in the car. She was Chi Lishuang.
During this period, she had been ordering Guoguo Youyao to keep a close eye on the orphanage, hoping to dig out some negative information about Jiang Ranran. However, she unexpectedly gained something unexpected and found Duan Chengyi and Duan Meimei, father and daughter, here.
Chi Lishuang laughed somewhat arrogantly, "Who did I think it was? Isn't this the wanted father and daughter of the Duan family?"
This is really the case of searching for something unsuccessfully but finally finding it without any effort.
Duan Chengyi quickly recognized Chi Lishuang. After all, they had both been in the business world before. Even if they weren't familiar with each other, they at least knew each other. He pretended to be calm, but his voice was shaking uncontrollably. "Boss Chi, what do you mean? Are you going to hand me over to the police?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Duan, how could that be? I invited you here to discuss cooperation with you." Chi Lishuang shook her head. She was not that stupid. What could she get by handing Duan Chengyi and Duan Meimei to the police?
Businessmen only care about profits, but Chi Lishuang only does things that are good for herself.
Duan Chengyi frowned. He and Chi Lishuang had never had any dealings. Why would she want to cooperate with him?
Seeing Duan Chengyi's doubts, Chi Lishuang said straight to the point: "Don't doubt it, our interests are the same. We have a common enemy, Jiang Ranran. Don't you want to defeat her?"
"What if we don't cooperate with you?" Duan Chengyi didn't want to be restrained.
Chi Lishuang was no pushover either. A sinister look flashed in her eyes. "Then I'll have to hand you over to the police."
