Chapter 172, Wang Baomin's Story (End)
After handling the funeral arrangements for Zhou Tian's mother, Zhou Tian moved into Wang Baomin's house.
Wang Baomin moved into Wang Baoshan's house. The two houses were actually one upstairs and one downstairs. Wang Baoshan had gone abroad to study again.
Zhou Tian returned to school after her mother's seven-day mourning period and found a job serving food in the school cafeteria.
Zhou Tian felt that her mother might have made some kind of deal with the Jiang family, but Zhou Tian didn't want to rely on the Jiang family for everything.
My parents are gone, it's time for me to grow up. I don't want to be a parasitic plant that knows nothing.
However, Zhou Tian overestimated herself.
A week later, Wang Baomin received a call from the school saying that Zhou Tian had assaulted someone. He was in a weekly meeting, so he quickly ended the meeting and rushed to the school.
When they arrived at school, they found Zhou Tian in a terrible state. Her clothes were torn and she was wearing a coat. Her forehead was red and swollen with some bloodstains, and her cheeks were bruised and swollen.
There were also strangulation marks on her neck, red and purple, which were terrifying to look at.
"What's going on here? Zhang Qiang, you stay here and sort this out." Wang Baomin glared angrily at the teachers in the office, then bent down and picked up Zhou Tian.
“Sir…” The dean of students tried to call out to Wang Baomin.
"If you don't give me the result I want, then I will come and get it myself." After saying that, Wang Baomin carried Zhou Tian away.
"I'm sorry..." Zhou Tian apologized with great remorse after leaving the room.
"Why are you apologizing? Were you hurt?" Wang Baomin frowned and took Zhou Tian back to the hospital for treatment. They only had superficial injuries. After getting medicine, the two went home.
"He's the second-in-command of our school's cafeteria. I didn't let him succeed, so I cracked his skull open," Zhou Tian quickly explained.
“Sweetie, your current situation isn’t suitable for you to go out and do temporary work. You’re beautiful, and you didn’t grow up in hardship. There are far more bad people than good people in this world,” Wang Baomin sighed.
“But you’re such a good person.” Zhou Tian’s eyes lit up.
"I'm not a good person," Wang Baomin said helplessly.
"Shall we date?" Zhou Tian knelt on the sofa, tilted her head back, and gently tugged at Wang Baomin's sleeve.
"How about I introduce you to a job? My company has a design department where you can intern." Wang Baomin didn't want to take advantage of the situation.
Moreover, Zhou Tian's mother gave her enough to protect Zhou Tian's safety for the rest of her life.
"Okay." Zhou Tian lowered her head and nodded gently, concealing a single tear that slowly rolled down her cheek.
Wang Baomin washed Zhou Tian's hair again, and then personally cooked three dishes and a soup that evening.
After dinner, Zhou Tian sat on the sofa and watched Wang Baomin pack his things.
Zhou Tian hesitated for a moment, then walked over and gently wrapped her arms around Wang Baomin's waist from behind. "Brother Baomin...~"
"If you don't like the school, how about I help you transfer to another school?" Wang Baomin gently pulled Zhou Tian's arm away.
Zhou Tian pushed Wang Baomin's arm away and angrily went back to her room.
After tidying everything up, Wang Baomin glanced at the half-open door and sighed, "Tian Tian, I'm going back now."
Zhou Tian didn't answer, burying herself completely in the blanket. The blanket rustled, and Wang Baomin's heart softened. He hesitated for a moment, then went in and gently patted the blanket. "Tian Tian, does your wound still hurt?"
Only when he got closer did he hear sobbing coming from inside. Wang Baomin gently pulled back the blanket.
He only realized halfway through that Zhou Tian had changed into a sundress, and hurriedly tried to cover her up, but Zhou Tian grabbed his arm instead.
"Sweetie, this isn't right." Wang Baomin tried to pull Zhou Tian's hand away, but Zhou Tian threw herself into his arms. She wrapped her arms around Wang Baomin's neck and bit his lips.
"Sweet..." Wang Baomin had just opened his mouth when Zhou Tian had the chance.
For a moment, the world lost its color.
Afterwards, Wang Baomin hugged Zhou Tian, feeling guilty. "Are you old enough? Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow, then talk to my mom and have the wedding."
Zhou Tian was still reeling from the fact that it was Wang Baomin's first time.
“I still have a year before I can get my marriage certificate. I was a year younger when I registered my household registration,” Zhou Tian said, snuggling up to Wang Baomin.
Wang Baomin: "..."
"Then let's hold the wedding first." Wang Baomin simply couldn't accept being in this ambiguous relationship with Zhou Tian.
"Holding a wedding at this stage wouldn't be good for anyone," Zhou Tian said softly.
"You don't mean you don't want to marry me, do you?" Wang Baomin asked Zhou Tian nervously.
"No~" Zhou Tiantian said sweetly.
"No, you're coming home with me to meet my mom tomorrow." Wang Baomin was instantly paralyzed by Zhou Tian's sly smile.
"No, my face isn't healed yet. I need to look my best when I see Auntie." Zhou Tian patted Wang Baomin's stiff arm, then found a comfortable spot and fell asleep peacefully.
Zhou Tian woke up the next morning the moment Wang Baomin got up, without any dreams.
However, he didn't get up; instead, he stayed in bed.
Zhou Tian had been suffering from insomnia for a long time. Even when she did fall asleep, she was filled with all sorts of nightmares. But last night, Zhou Tian had no dreams at all.
Wang Baomin went to exercise first, and when he came back, he bought breakfast. Seeing that Zhou Tian hadn't come out yet, he knocked on the door and said, "Tian Tian, come out and have breakfast."
"I need a hug to get out of bed," Zhou Tian said sweetly, stretching like a kitten.
"You little rascal, how did you change so quickly?" Wang Baomin walked in with a helpless expression and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Zhou Tian gave Wang Baomin a big, sweet kiss before going to wash up.
After finishing their meal, Wang Baomin told Zhou Tian about the school's decision: "The school cafeteria kicked them out, and I sued so many people, who were sentenced to three years. Do you want to come work for my company?" Wang Baomin asked Zhou Tian.
"No, I want to focus on my studies and not cause trouble at your company." Zhou Tian shook her head.
Wang Baomin also gave Zhou Tian an idea.
Learning to draw can also lead to other jobs.
"Can I use my home computer?" Zhou Tian wanted to find another way to make money.
"Of course you can, do you know how to use it?" Wang Baomin nodded.
Computers have only become popular in the last few years, and using them for office work is much faster than writing by hand.
Memorizing the radicals is a bit of a pain.
“Yes, my family used to have a computer,” Zhou Tiandian nodded.
"Can you drive? I'll buy you a car," Wang Baomin asked.
"So generous?" Zhou Tian blinked, looking at Wang Baomin in disbelief.
Previously, due to my uncle's influence, my family couldn't afford to be too extravagant.
It's impossible to buy clothes and a car so casually.
“I’ve saved up a lot of money over the years, but I have nowhere to spend it. My younger brother and sister can also earn money, and my niece and nephew don’t need me to spend money on them. I have nowhere to spend it.” Wang Baomin looked at Zhou Tian with a bright smile.
Actually, after getting to know Zhou Tian, I suddenly felt like I was raising a child.
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Zhou Tian was a little confused for a moment.
"Don't worry, just buy some clothes and stuff, buy whatever you want." Wang Baomin gave Zhou Tian another card.
"Thank you, Brother Baomin." Zhou Tian hugged Wang Baomin and kissed him again.
Zhou Tian couldn't drive, so Wang Baomin assigned her a car to pick her up and drop her off every day.
Zhou Tian stopped staying in the dormitory as much.
Zhou Tian's relationship with her roommates wasn't very good. They used to be jealous, then they gloated and spread rumors about her behind her back.
However, with the car service and the fact that she didn't live on campus, rumors circulated at school that Zhou Tian was being kept by a sugar daddy.
In addition, Zhou Tian's clothes are even better now than before, and she almost never wears the same outfit twice.
Wang Baomin also liked to buy Zhou Tian all kinds of jewelry.
In three months, Zhou Tian became even more refined than before.
Zhou Tian didn't care at all about the rumors circulating among her classmates.
After all, I've seen things that are even more difficult.
"Zhou Tian, have you no shame?" One of Zhou Tian's former roommates suddenly looked at Zhou Tian with a dark expression.
Zhou Tian looked at her roommate, who was only about 1.55 meters tall, with dark skin and a rough face, and couldn't help but feel speechless.
Zhao Juan comes from a poor family and is from the engineering college. She used to always look down on me, saying that I was wasting my time and making all sorts of comments about the people around me.
In short, she was self-reliant and worked to support herself through school.
And everyone is like a dodder vine.
Zhou Tian couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Zhao Juan, a pitiful person who couldn't stand seeing others have it easy.
"Zhou Tian, can't you have any shame? You have hands and feet, why did you choose an old man..."
Zhou Tian went up and slapped Zhao Juan.
Zhou Tian finally understood what she had gained from trying to be kind to others.
After something happened in my own family, all I got was betrayal.
Apart from Wang Baomin, no one offered any help.
As for Wang Baomin's claim that his mother gave him payment, Zhou Tian didn't think so.
Because Wang Baomin and Aunt Tao acted before they even met their mother.
"You hit me?" Zhao Juan looked at Zhou Tian in disbelief.
I don't understand why Zhou Tian is so bold. Shouldn't she feel ashamed to be kept by someone?
It's even more amazing than before.
"So what if I hit you? You're allowed to curse me but I'm not allowed to hit you?" Zhou Tian wasn't afraid of Zhao Juan at all.
"You're shameless..."
Zhou Tian slapped him again, "Are you jealous? Or do you just not want to?" Zhou Tian's eyes were full of sarcasm.
“You…” Zhao Juan stared wide-eyed.
"You and I are worlds apart, so don't try to talk your way out of this." Zhou Tian said, then turned and left haughtily.
The students standing nearby were completely terrified.
I really didn't expect Zhou Tian to be so bold.
However, ever since the school cafeteria staff changed, some people have started asking about Wang Baomin.
When they found out, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Tian's luck is just unbelievable.
After all, Wang Baomin is not an old man in his fifties or sixties, but a robust man in his thirties.
Moreover, he's still single, has a great family, and manages several companies.
But this is someone that most people can't get even if they cry and beg.
Moreover, Zhou Tian's family situation is quite different.
Everyone thought that Zhou Tian was completely crushed.
As a result, they didn't get trampled into the mud.
Those who offended her—Xia Tian, the second young master of the Xia family, went to jail, and the cafeteria owner was also kicked out.
Who wouldn't want that? But can you get it just by wanting it?
They even pick you up and drop you off in a car every day.
Zhou Tian walked out in a very good mood. The driver had Zhou Tian's class schedule, so he would pick her up and drop her off every day according to the schedule.
Zhou Tian did not tell Wang Baomin about this.
Before she knew it, winter vacation arrived, and Zhou Tian tried her hand at drawing comics.
The initial results are already visible, but Wang Baomin is still very busy.
However, he has tried his best to make time to spend with Zhou Tian.
Tao Ying rarely sees Wang Baomin.
It was only during a company meeting that she finally saw him. "What have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you at all," Tao Ying called out to Wang Baomin after the meeting.
"Mom, what should I do if Zhou Tian refuses to have a wedding with me?" Wang Baomin was really at his wit's end.
Wang Baomin had brought this up several times, but Zhou Tian just wouldn't agree.
"Huh?" Tao Ying was a little confused.
Wang Baomin then told Tao Ying about what had happened in the past few months.
Tao Ying “…”
"I really can't answer that," Tao Ying finally managed to say after a long pause.
"Sigh!" Wang Baomin sighed.
"Why are you so upset? Maybe Zhou Tian is young and doesn't want to be tied down so soon. You may be older, but it's okay. You two can enjoy your relationship first," Tao Ying gently comforted Wang Baomin.
Wang Baomin felt uncomfortably uncomforted.
"Mom, I understand." Wang Baomin really didn't want to talk.
"If you're too tired, let Chun Tao do more work," Tao Ying suggested softly.
Wang Baomin “…”
Wang Baomin doted on Zhou Tian even more than Zhou Tian's parents had done.
Zhou Tian's secretly made comics also became a huge hit.
Zhou Tian specially used all of her royalties to buy Wang Baomin a watch.
"Brother Baomin, this is the first money I've earned. I hope you won't mind." Zhou Tian was a little worried.
"Thank you, my little girl." Wang Baomin hugged Zhou Tian tightly.
He rested his chin on Zhou Tian's head and said, "Tian Tian, thank you."
Wang Baomin stopped urging Zhou Tian to hold a wedding.
The two were very much in love.
Until Zhou Tian graduated, on the day of her graduation, Wang Baomin filled the playground with roses.
Holding the ring he had prepared beforehand, he knelt on one knee. "Zhou Tian, will you marry me?"
Wearing her graduation gown, Zhou Tian turned to look at Wang Baomin, tears streaming down her face. "I do."
Loud applause erupted from all around.
Two years have passed, and Wang Baomin has never mentioned holding a wedding again. Zhou Tian thought that Wang Baomin had given up.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
"Brother Baomin, can we skip the wedding and just get a marriage certificate?" Zhou Tian looked at Wang Baomin with pleading eyes.
"Okay, we'll do whatever you say," Wang Baomin replied softly.
The two quickly got their marriage certificate. Although they didn't have a wedding, Tao Ying still gave Zhou Tian a dowry of 188,000 yuan and transferred ownership of two houses to Zhou Tian.
A month after the wedding, Zhou Tian was found to be pregnant.
The following year, a chubby, fair-skinned boy was born.
Five years later, Zhou Hao made a high-profile return, only to find that all his troubles had been resolved and that his younger sister was living a very happy life.
Suddenly, the huge weight that had been pressing on my heart disappeared.
"Sweetie, why didn't you tell your brother you got married?" Zhou Hao felt a pang of sadness that his beloved younger sister had gotten married.
"Brother, I hope you are well." Zhou Tian radiated happiness.
"Okay!" Zhou Hao's voice was slightly choked.
