Chapter 447: Prison Visit, Warning
Zhang Wanwan was not in a hurry to see her deep in thought, but said casually: "I have just started here, and it cannot compare with other large companies, but wouldn't it be great to witness its growth from the beginning? Besides, if my company succeeds, you will be a veteran, and you don't have to worry about complicated interpersonal relationships here, and the cost of living is low. It's almost all benefits with no disadvantages."
Zhang Nini smiled bitterly, "Since you've already spoken, I will stay even if you don't promise me anything."
Zhang Wanwan was overjoyed, and said excitedly, "Okay! My factory is already under construction. During this time, you can replace my sister-in-law to help me pack things. When she is almost done giving birth and the factory is officially put into use, you can take over from her, or I can hire someone else to come over by then."
"As long as you're happy." Zhang Nini resisted the urge to roll her eyes and lowered her head to continue working.
In the following days, Zhang Nini lived in the Zhang family. At first, Zhang's mother tried every means to find Huang Guilian and give her a good scolding. She called her three times a day, morning, noon and evening. As a result, Huang Guilian's phone could not be reached in less than half a month. No matter how she called, she was told that the number was not in service.
For three consecutive days, Zhang's mother gave up and cursed in her room all night before she never mentioned the matter again.
The day before Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang's father took Zhang Nini and some snacks to visit Zhang Jianguo in prison.
After two or three years, the once high-spirited Zhang Jianguo now has white hair and dull eyes. When he saw Zhang Nini, he showed some emotion. He picked up the phone tremblingly and asked worriedly, "Child, you were fine abroad, why did you come back suddenly? Did you come back by yourself or did your mother ask you to come back? Also, why did you come with your uncle? Where are you?"
Zhang Jianguo didn't see Huang Guilian and had a lot of questions that went unanswered.
Zhang Nini stayed at Zhang's father's house for a while, and her complexion returned to normal, so Zhang Jianguo didn't notice anything abnormal about her. He became even more anxious when he saw her red eyes and tears.
Zhang Nini looked at him and choked up, "Dad, I've been back for a long time. I don't know where my mom is. I'm living with my uncle now. Don't worry, my uncle and aunt are taking good care of me. I've started over and I'm not going abroad anymore."
"What's going on?" Zhang Jianguo asked anxiously with his eyes wide open. Before the accident, he heard some rumors and specially transferred some money to Zhang Nini, hoping that she would live a good life abroad. Now everything does not seem to be developing as he expected.
Zhang Nini had not intended to tell Zhang Jianguo about Huang Guilian's affairs, but she had never lied to Zhang Jianguo before, and the truth was exposed when she was anxious, and she was a little at a loss.
Father Zhang watched silently from the side, sighed and shook his head, turned around and wiped away his tears before signaling Zhang Nini to move aside and let him speak.
As soon as Zhang's father picked up the phone, Zhang Jianguo couldn't wait to ask him a lot of questions. Zhang's father told him solemnly what Huang Guilian had done. Seeing that he was stunned, he said hatefully: "It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Sister-in-law is simply not a human being. She can cheat her own daughter like this. I just don't understand. She only has Nini as a daughter. Can she live a carefree life by taking Nini's money and running away?
During this period, the child's mother called three times a day to ask about her, but no one answered the phone. In less than half a month, my sister-in-law's mobile number became an invalid number. Now we have completely lost contact with her. Brother, I told you so much because I want you to think of a solution. I don't want her to come back and mess up when Nini's life gets better in the future. Since we can't share the hardship, let's just stop contacting each other."
Zhang's father was also very angry. No matter what Zhang's mother said about Huang Guilian before, he never said a word, thinking that it was all women's pettiness. But this time, what Huang Guilian did had crossed his bottom line, especially since she had harmed his own niece. Zhang's father really couldn't tolerate it.
After hearing this, veins popped on Zhang Jianguo's forehead, his eyes became bloodshot, and he pounded the table in anger, unable to speak.
He looked really scary, and Zhang Nini quickly grabbed the microphone, "Dad, calm down first. Although what Mom did was chilling, luckily my uncle found me. I'm living with him now. I eat well, sleep well, and don't have to worry about anything else. Everything is fine with me, really. Don't get angry and hurt yourself. Take good care of yourself in there. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll come to see you often."
With Zhang Nini's comfort, Zhang Jianguo gradually calmed down. He looked at his father with tears in his eyes and said, "Jianye, I know I'm sorry for you and our father. I was blinded by greed and did such a thing. I am too ashamed to see you, but Nini is my only daughter. Please take care of her. Please."
"Don't worry! I will take good care of my own niece even if you don't tell me. You should reflect on yourself in there. Also, think about how to solve your sister-in-law's problem. You should always think about Nini's future. I won't say anything else." Zhang's father tried hard not to let his tears fall, and he didn't look at Zhang Jianguo. After a long while, he said quietly: "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I brought you some snacks. Take care of yourself."
After Zhang's father finished speaking, he decisively hung up the phone and walked out. Zhang Nini took over the phone again, gave Zhang Jianguo some instructions, and then left.
On the way back, Zhang's father was very silent at first, and only said to Zhang Nini when they were almost home: "Your father has had too much luck in his life. He is ambitious and lucky, but unfortunately he is not satisfied. You should take this as a warning in the future. You should be down-to-earth in life. We don't seek to be rich, but we seek to have a clear conscience!"
"Uncle, I get it." Zhang Nini said in a depressed mood. She knew that Zhang Jianguo had such a day because of his own fault and it was no one else's fault. Part of the money Zhang Jianguo got from corruption and bribery was spent on her. She didn't know it before, so she could enjoy herself with that money with peace of mind. Now that she knows it, she doesn't know what to do.
Father Zhang saw her confusion in the rearview mirror and said thoughtfully, "Don't think too much about anything else. Just live your life well in the future. If you are able to do some good things, consider it as atonement for your father's sins."
"Yeah," Zhang Nini responded softly.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang's father and mother planned to hold a big celebration because there were Leng Ziyue, Zhang Nini and the unborn baby in Qin Wenjun's belly. When they mentioned the big celebration, Leng Ziyue immediately called the second son and asked him to send over a batch of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.
Zhang Wanwan made some newly developed snacks, and Zhang's mother cooked a table full of delicious dishes. The family gathered together to eat and drink, and they were very happy. Zhang's father drank a little too much, and even tried to raise his glass to the moon like literati. As a result, he couldn't even recite a line of poetry for a long time, which made everyone laugh.
