The factory managed by Tong Hongyun was quite large, mainly producing medical devices. Liu Aimei waited outside the factory gate all afternoon, but the gatekeeper didn't announce her arrival, and she didn't see any cars come out.
Liu Aimei didn't get home until around 7 or 8 p.m.
She looked extremely pale and haggard. She hadn't had proper postpartum care, and the wind had been blowing on her every day for the past few days, causing her excruciating pain.
Tong Hongyun refused to see her, showing such heartlessness that she couldn't even find out where Tong Hongyun and Zhang Liqin's home was!
Liu Aimei was so angry that she smashed the cup.
She gave up so much, and she's not willing to end up like this.
Tong Hongyun had left the factory through another side gate earlier that day. When he returned home in the evening, he heard the sound of a baby crying coming from inside the Tong family home.
Zhang Liqin was playing mahjong with someone, while her child was being comforted by the nanny by the window.
This child doesn't look like Tong Hongyun, nor does he look like Liu Aimei.
Zhang Liqin had no reason to vent her anger on a child. These past few days, apart from complaining about the noise and having the nanny take the child to the yard to soothe him, she hadn't done anything else for him. She raised him indifferently, treating him like he was just adding another pair of chopsticks. He didn't have a biological mother; he only had Zhang Liqin as his adoptive mother.
Even if there's a fight over the inheritance later, the only person this child can be filial to is her.
Tong Hongyun glanced at the group of people playing cards.
"Hey, Lao Tong is back."
Zhang Liqin didn't even turn around to look, and said with a smile, "It's a draw."
"Liqin, you've won money again! Your luck is incredible!"
“Liqin is just holding onto the money temporarily; we’ll win it back later.”
Tong Hongyun came up behind Zhang Liqin, glanced at the card game, and said to the people who had just spoken, "It's your turn next round."
Zhang Liqin's smile remained unchanged, but her gaze towards Tong Hongyun softened slightly.
Tong Hongyun touched his nose, turned around and left to continue teasing his precious son.
During this period, Tong Hongyun always came home from get off work on time and did not contact any of the women other than Liu Aimei.
As Tong Hongyun carried the person to the garden outside, the three mahjong partners winked at Zhang Liqin.
"Liqin, has Lao Tong changed his ways?"
Zhang Liqin forced a smile: "He just wants a son."
"Liqin, let me tell you, you have to be extremely careful around that child's birth mother. No matter how good you are to that child, he's not your biological son. What if one day his real mother comes looking for him and stirs things up with a few words..."
"That's right, Xiuhua is right, Liqin, you should pay more attention."
Zhang Liqin smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
When it was almost time for dinner, the mahjong game ended, and Zhang Liqin invited the three of them to stay for dinner, but they all politely declined and left.
Only Tong Hongyun and Zhang Liqin remained at the dinner table.
The child was taken to his room to drink milk.
Not being her biological child, Zhang Liqin had no patience for the child and found the sound of crying bothersome.
Tong Hongyun: "Wife, Dad has chosen a name for her, Tong Anqu."
Zhang Liqin said expressionlessly, "The name is quite good."
Just as Tong Hongyun smiled, he heard Zhang Liqin say:
"Liu Aimei, you've cleaned things up. If she comes knocking on our door and causes a huge commotion..."
Tong Hongyun's father had a bunch of mistresses and fathered a lot of illegitimate children. He grew up in that kind of environment and understands Zhang Liqin's intentions.
"Don't worry, I will never let her affect our lives."
Zhang Liqin didn't believe a man's words, which she thought were just empty words.
