Chapter 468 The World is So Big 1 With a little effort, I can definitely...
It's not surprising that Yao Taotao would make such a request.
In Yao Zhizhi's opinion, her second sister is just temporarily unable to overcome her inner fear, which does not mean that she will really ignore the life in her belly.
The so-called miscarriage was just a way for the second sister to vent her dissatisfaction with Chao Risheng.
If Chao Risheng had a more positive attitude, the couple might have reconciled by now.
How can I put it? I can only say that although Chao Risheng didn't say anything in the past few years, he was probably crazy about having a child in his heart, so after confirming that Yao Taotao was pregnant, he revealed his true thoughts.
This is not an unforgivable crime, but it does embarrass Yao Taotao. At this time, it is a relatively safer solution for the couple to separate and calm down.
If after calming down, Yao Taotao still wants a divorce, then she has really thought it through.
Yao Zhizhi responded, "That's not difficult. I'll ask my third brother to introduce someone. You stay home and wait for my news. Don't go out running around. I'll bring you a map when I come back, and then you can go out and wander around."
Yao Taotao had no objection. She didn't want to cause trouble for Yao Zhizhi. After all, Zhizhi had already spent money once to help her pass the customs. Fortunately, Yao Weihua's business has been booming in recent years, and he has friends in Guangzhou who are willing to modify his pass. Otherwise, she would not be able to cross the river.
In short, as she is new here, she should really keep quiet for the sake of everyone else.
In the afternoon, Yao Zhizhi came back with a map, and a female comrade in a suit skirt came with her.
Yao Zhizhi introduced with a smile: "This is Dr. Chen from Huaiming Clinic. Everyone calls her Shanni. Shanni, this is my second sister Yao Taotao."
Chen Shanni smiled and extended her hand, saying in standard Mandarin, "Hello, hello. So you are Miss Yao's sister. It's true that hearing about her is worse than meeting her in person. You are such a beauty."
Yao Taotao smiled and stood up: "Hello Shanni, sit down."
After Chen Shanni sat down, Yao Zhizhi used the excuse of going upstairs to check on the children's homework, leaving the living room to the two of them.
Chen Shanni bluntly asked, "I heard from Miss Yao that you are pregnant? It's only been less than a month?"
"Yeah." Yao Taotao smiled awkwardly. "I don't really want this child, but I can't bear to abort it. Can you show me what aborted babies look like?"
"I advise you not to watch it." Chen Shanni had already learned from Yao Zhizhi the source of Yao Taotao's fear, so she advised, "Since you can't bear the pain of your classmate who had a difficult birth, then when you see a child being torn into pieces, you will probably have nightmares for the rest of your life."
Yao Taotao looked at Chen Shanni in surprise. It took her a moment for her to understand what "a child broken into pieces" meant. Her eyes turned red as she asked, "Is an abortion really that cruel?"
"There's no need for me to lie to you. If you insist on seeing a doctor, I'm willing to help. I'm just worried you won't be able to handle it." Chen Shanni held Yao Taotao's shoulders and advised, "Although Miss Yao told me not to persuade you to give birth to this child and to let you make your own decision, I still want to say that this is a life after all. If you're worried about any accidents during delivery, you can stay here to give birth. After all, the medical conditions here are much better than those in the mainland. I can also help you make an appointment with a specialist in advance. Although I can't guarantee that it will be foolproof, it can at least minimize the risk of you getting hurt. Please consider it carefully."
"You'd better take me to see it." Yao Taotao took a deep breath and explained, "It's not that I don't trust you—"
"I know you can't convince yourself." Chen Shanni patted her shoulder and sighed, "In that case, let me make some arrangements for you. You just arrived last night, so get some rest today. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Okay, thank you so much, Sunny. I'm sorry to trouble you." Yao Taotao forced a smile. It was a bad feeling to be forced by a man.
She even suspected that if she really gave birth to this child, she would need to use double the maternal love to dilute her resentment towards Chao Risheng so that she would not be annoyed when she saw the child.
In short, she had better see it with her own eyes, otherwise she really couldn't make a decision.
Fortunately, Chen Shanni was a considerate intellectual. She hugged Yao Taotao and comforted her, "Meeting is fate. No need to thank me. From now on, you and Miss Yao will be my good friends. It's only natural that we help each other."
Yao Taotao smiled and didn't say anything more polite. When she came back from sending Chen Shanni, Yao Zhizhi was already sitting in the living room.
Yao Taotao walked over and sat down. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't speak.
Yao Zhizhi took the initiative to say, "Chao Risheng has my third brother's phone number. He called yesterday and asked if you had arrived. He also asked my third brother to tell you that he has asked someone to notarize that all his current property and royalties, as well as the royalties from his existing works that will continue to be generated in the future, will be given to you. As for whether he will have new works in the future, he can't guarantee it. If he does, the majority of the income will be given to you, and he will only keep the part he needs for his own life and the funds for raising the children. My third brother also scolded him, saying that what you need now is not money, but an apology from him. He said that it was too late to apologize, so it was unnecessary. It would be better to show you his sincerity through practical actions. That's all."
Yao Taotao was naturally dissatisfied. Was an apology so difficult? She took the milk from the maid, lowered her head and sipped it carefully. After a long while, she said, "He has become a very vulgar person. He only talks with money."
Yao Zhizhi sighed, "I actually think that vulgarity is elegance. Look at all the wealthy people in Hong Kong. How many of them are willing to give the bulk of their wealth to their wives and children? There's a joke that goes, 'A rich dad gets countless brothers and sisters; a rich mom gets endless wealth and splendor.' It's about those wealthy men who would rather find a few more young wives than leave their money to their legitimate wives and children."
Yao Taotao fell into a long silence. She didn't believe that Zhizhi didn't understand her needs, but she also understood that spending money like crazy was also a form of apology.
It’s just that in comparison, sweet-talked apologies seem more straightforward and simple, and touch people’s hearts directly.
After a long time, she sighed and said, "No, no amount of money can compare to a sincere apology from him. If he apologizes sincerely, I can consider giving him a chance. If he can't do that, then even if I have a child, I will divorce him and won't give him custody."
"What if he's really determined not to find another woman?"
"I don't believe it."
"It's indeed a bit difficult, but what if?"
"Then I still need an apology from him."
"Yeah, just as I guessed. Do you need me to persuade him? Or should we wait until he figures it out himself before speaking?"
"Don't try to persuade him. If he can do it, it means he can still be saved. If he can't do it, then he can't do it. You can't force him."
"Okay." Yao Zhizhi didn't force it. She looked at the time and stood up and said, "The sun hasn't set yet. I'll take you out to buy some clothes here."
"I brought some money." Yao Taotao stood up and walked towards the guest room upstairs, but Yao Zhizhi stopped her. "It's useless. You can't spend it. You have to exchange it into Hong Kong dollars. Okay, come with me. You can pay me back when you return to the mainland."
"Okay." Yao Taotao did not insist. She got into the car obediently and went out with Yao Zhizhi.
The streets of Hong Kong are lined with tall buildings, but the streets are not very wide. The taller the buildings are, the narrower the streets appear, and the smaller the humans below appear.
Yao Taotao got out of the car and stopped in front of a building. She said with emotion, "It's right to go out and see the world. Otherwise, I really don't know how insignificant I am."
"This building is not that tall, there are taller ones. I'll take you to see them some other day. Let's go and try on clothes first." Yao Zhizhi took Yao Taotao and went to the clothing store next door.
As soon as I tried on a dress, I saw a man wearing sunglasses standing outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, staring at the woman in front of the dressing mirror.
Yao Zhizhi had seen this man in the newspaper and smiled politely.
The man simply walked in and handed over a business card: "Hello, I'm Shao Zhendong. Can you and your friend come to our company for an audition?"
Yao Zhizhi smiled and looked at the bewildered Yao Taotao behind her: "Wait a moment, let me ask." She took a few steps closer and introduced Yao Taotao, "This person is a talent scout. He wants to invite you to audition for a role in a movie. Are you willing?"
"Filming?" Yao Taotao had never imagined such a career path. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "I can't do that. My belly will be big in a few months."
Yao Zhizhi thought for a moment and advised, "Why don't you go and take a look first? Maybe it's just a cameo role, it won't take long. Just think of it as meeting some new friends. If my novel is adapted into a film or TV series in the future, I'll inevitably have to interact with these people."
Yao Taotao pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, ask him if he can speak Mandarin. I don't understand what he's saying."
Yao Zhizhi turned around and smiled: "Mr. Shao, can you speak Mandarin? My second sister wants to communicate with you directly."
"I know a little bit." Shao Zhendong smiled, took off his sunglasses, and greeted in broken Mandarin, "Excuse me, what are your names, ladies?"
"We both have the last name Yao." Yao Taotao opened the canvas bag she was carrying and took out a photo from it. "Thank you, Mr. Shao, for your kindness. I may not have much time, but if you don't mind, you can take a look at the person in the photo. This is my eldest sister. She's very beautiful too."
Shao Zhendong took the photo and was shocked: "Are these all your sisters?"
"Yes, but these two probably don't have much time to come." Yao Taotao pointed at Yao Mengmeng and Yao Ningning in the photo. These two people have happy families, and their husbands and children are quite caring. It is impossible for them to be as free as Yao Yingying.
As for Yao Yingying, although she has two daughters, she has been divorced for many years and is free. If she can succeed in the audition, she can just take her children to school. It is not difficult.
This made Shao Zhendong very surprised. He took the photo and asked, "Can I take it back to the company for a meeting? Also, can you two reconsider it? I can guarantee that with beauties like you, as long as the company puts in some effort, we can definitely make you big stars."
"I don't have much time." Yao Taotao was still a little hesitant.
Shao Zhendong immediately backed off and said, "It won't take much time to play a supporting role. Would you like to give it a try, Miss Yao?"
Yao Taotao was still hesitating, and Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "How about this, Mr. Shao? The day after tomorrow, my sister and I will go to your company to take a look and then make a decision, okay?"
"That's great. Let's make an appointment at a place the day after tomorrow and I'll take you to the company." Shao Zhendong was very excited. He discovered three beauties for the company in one go. This was really a blessing from God.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "Let's go to Yaoji Pharmacy on Gaosheng Street. I just need to help my brother take inventory."
Shao Zhendong was a little surprised: "Yaoji Pharmacy? Are you Mr. Yao's sister?"
"Yes." Yao Zhizhi took the opportunity to say, "So I don't have time to audition, but my second sister and the other sister she introduced can."
Shao Zhendong smiled and said, "That's a pity. We've lost a great beauty. Anyway, having two is rare. Let's meet at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow morning."
