Chapter 23 23 It was the first time that Ding Nianjun looked at someone’s face…
Ding Nianjun came back with some water and stood not far from the door, waiting for the topic to end before he took a deep breath and walked in as if nothing had happened.
After washing her hands, she sat down between Ding Xiang and Yue Hongmei with a smile on her face. She ignored the strange atmosphere in the room and spoke to Xiao Hong calmly, "Sister Xiao Hong, how many days have you been away this time?"
Xiao Hong was deeply impressed by Ding Nianjun's shamelessness.
Is this girl very cunning, or does Ding Guo's sacrifice for her seem insignificant to her?
Otherwise, how could she act like nothing happened?
But out of politeness, Xiao Hong still smiled and said, "It took a long time this time. I was out for more than half a month."
Yue Hongmei was touched by Nianjun's thoughtfulness, and she took over the topic with a slightly relaxed look, saying, "It's been a long time, your parents must have missed you a lot, right?"
Xiao Hong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the first time I've been away from them for such a long time..."
Ding Nianjun joked and glanced at Ding Jianguo with a smile: "My eldest brother is also absent-minded all day long."
Xiao Hong frowned slightly.
She didn't like this kind of teasing, especially from Ding Nianjun, because she was too deliberate.
This deliberateness allowed her to guess at once that Ding Jianguo was not as she said, which made it seem very fake.
But the atmosphere in the room finally became harmonious.
Ding Jianguo was still a little absent-minded.
He was thinking about how to explain this matter to Xiao Hong. He must not lose face in front of Xiao Hong. If he lost face, he would unconsciously be inferior to her. How could he be inferior to her in front of his future partner?
Thinking of this, I not only felt dissatisfied with Ding Guo, but also had some resentment towards my parents.
Why did you encourage your elder sister to marry a fool? Aren't you ashamed?
No wonder my eldest sister went crazy at home.
What was even more unacceptable to him was that his parents had not even discussed such a big matter with him. Did they still treat him as the eldest son in the family?
This made Ding Jianguo feel some inexplicable dissatisfaction.
Noticing that Ding Jianguo's emotions were fluctuating greatly, or more precisely, that he was suffering from internal friction, Ding Guo used a magnifying glass on Ding Nianjun and showed it to Ding Jianguo.
[Magnifying Glass (Use it on a target to magnify their shortcomings, and you can decide who to show it to. Use it three times a day)]
As soon as the magnifying glass effect appeared, Ding Jianguo immediately became dissatisfied with Ding Nianjun.
Today’s discontent has a foundation.
Because Ding Nianjun never told Ding Jianguo that there was a fool in the Pan family.
I am her elder brother and I am so good to her!
Ding Jianguo felt that all his sincerity and hard work had been in vain.
One even suspected that it was Ding Nianjun who suggested letting Ding Guo marry the fool. Even if she didn't say it herself, it was at least a hint to her parents.
After all, if she didn't say or mention this matter, her parents would not know that there was a fool in the Pan family.
Thinking of this, some of Ding Nianjun’s past words and deeds gradually became clear in his mind.
It was that kind of... I thought it was normal at the time, thinking it was just my little daughter acting coquettishly or being too embarrassed to say it directly so she hinted at the behavior, but now I feel something is a little strange.
For the first time, Ding Jianguo doubted Ding Nianjun's kindness.
The magnifying glass has two more chances.
Continue to use it on Ding Nianjun and show it to Ding Zhigang.
The result was that Ding Zhigang suddenly transferred his dissatisfaction with his eldest daughter to Ding Nianjun.
If she hadn't come back, she wouldn't have run into Zheng Xiuhua, and if she hadn't run into Zheng Xiuhua, this topic wouldn't have been brought up.
So why did she come back?
But he forgot that he had never directly told Ding Nianjun that he would not let her come back.
The little green-headed turtle didn't want to admit his contradiction.
For the sake of his dignity as a man, he didn't want to recognize Ding Nianjun, but his hesitant attitude also showed his hesitation in his heart.
After all, she is the daughter I raised with my own hands.
But at this moment, he really hated Ding Nianjun's appearance.
Including the fact that she came back crying about the harsh conditions put forward by the Pan family, and that she had never mentioned Ding Guo in front of them before, but why did she mention Ding Guo in the countryside that time?
Did she set her sights on Ding Guo from the very beginning?
This adopted daughter is really thoughtful.
Ding Zhigang looked at Ding Nianjun, his eyes filled with deep disgust.
When faced with this kind of gaze, Ding Nianjun felt cold all over and her pretty face turned slightly pale.
It was the first time that Ding Nianjun saw such disgust on someone's face.
Even Ding Guo had never looked at her like that.
Ding Nianjun felt as if needles were stabbing his heart.
For the last time, Ding Guo used the magnifying glass on Ding Jianguo and showed it to Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong suddenly disliked Ding Jianguo.
I used to think he was handsome, but now I don’t like that face so much anymore.
In particular, she magnified in her mind Ding Jianguo's protection of Ding Nianjun and his overly happy expression when he mentioned Ding Nianjun, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
I even remembered what my uncle had said to me: "Comrade Xiao Ding looks good, but he doesn't have his own opinions. Moreover, he is vain and cares too much about his reputation. He doesn't have the ability to earn these things, so he relies on additional conditions to maintain his life. If one day these additional conditions can no longer satisfy him, he might change his attitude very quickly."
Xiao Hong liked Ding Jianguo's face, and she didn't notice any of Ding Jianguo's shortcomings. Even if these shortcomings really existed, she didn't care too much.
How can a man not care about his reputation?
Vanity... Now that I think about it, it seems to be true. After all, the eldest sister whom he cares about the most is a beautiful girl who is outstanding in everything, and she is dating a man with a good family background.
Perhaps because it makes him proud, he mentions it more often.
The family background of Ding Nianjun's partner is also often mentioned.
Whenever he talked about this, his expression was full of pride.
It seems that when one person becomes enlightened, all the people around him will also be enlightened.
I rarely mention it to my younger sister.
Even fewer people mentioned my older sister who was still working in the countryside at the time, and some people were even reluctant to mention it.
Is this his vain side?
She didn’t notice anything before, but now she feels a little annoyed by a grown man talking about these things all the time.
However, no matter how dissatisfied she was, her upbringing would not allow her to get up and leave before finishing her meal. Instead, she followed Yue Hongmei's words and chatted about some family matters, but she put aside the matter of inviting the Ding family to visit her home on another day.
After the meal, Xiao Hong said goodbye to the Ding family politely. Before leaving, she made a point to say hello to Ding Guo.
I want to make a good relationship with her. I will find time to talk to Ding Guo alone after tomorrow and ask her specifically about the matter of Ding's parents asking her to marry a fool.
If this is true, then I need to reconsider my relationship with Ding Jianguo.
Ding Jianguo hurriedly said: "I'll take you there!"
Xiao Hong did not refuse, she also wanted to see Ding Jianguo's attitude towards Ding Guo and Ding Nianjun.
Some things that she had ignored before are now becoming clearer.
Want to confirm again.
Ding Jianguo and Xiao Hong were about to go to Ding Guo to settle the score when Yue Hongmei knelt down in front of Ding Zhigang. She raised her tearful face and said in a choked voice, "Dad - do you really not want me?"
Ding Zhigang was stunned by this straight ball, his heart trembled, and his eyes instinctively wandered.
Ding Nianjun actually knew it!
Who told her?
Ding Nianjun knelt and took two steps forward: "Dad, no matter how much you hate me or dislike me, you are my only dad since I can remember. Even though I later found out that I was not your biological child, I never thought about recognizing any biological parents. You and mom are my biological parents. If you don't want me, I will be an orphan, Dad——"
Ding Nianjun was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and Yue Hongmei beside her also burst into tears instantly.
Ding Jianshe and the others also had tears in their eyes.
Ding Zhigang turned his head away, feeling a conflicted feeling in his heart, and some pain.
On the one hand, he was filled with disgust for his adopted daughter because he had figured out some things; on the other hand, he really couldn't give up the father-daughter relationship of twenty years.
But the feeling of shame was also pulling at his heart, making it difficult for him to make a decision.
