Ji Wanping was so disappointed with Tao Man that she almost broke up with him.
Tao Man had no choice but to make a living and find a way to survive alone while pregnant.
She still remembered what Fu's parents said.
When Fu Duo finishes his project, they will come back to welcome him.
But she waited and waited, even when her belly became big and no one dared to hire her for odd jobs, Fu Duo still didn't show up.
In the end, Ji Wanping couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer, so she took her home to take care of her.
When the child was born, he could not get a birth certificate because he had no father, and he was not registered for several years.
Ji Wanping was asking for help from everyone, while she was also asking Tao Man about Fu Duo's whereabouts.
But the brothers Fu Duo and Fu Jun were like snowflakes falling from the sky, disappearing without a trace after the winter, and no one had ever heard of their name.
During this period, some people took a fancy to Tao Man and did not mind that she had a child, but she kept waiting stubbornly.
Fu Duo will not go back on his word.
He will definitely come back.
Until Tao Nianlun grew up, even those who were remarried would feel that they could not raise the child well, so no matchmaker came to harass her anymore.
Tao Man looked at Fu Duo's back as he walked further and further away, her heart filled with confusion and fear.
She had been waiting for so many years, what was she waiting for?
"Fu Duo, Nian Lun is your child!"
"Fu Duo!"
In desperation, Tao Man could only yell at him.
The man paused for a moment, a look of joy appeared on her face, and Secretary Duan's hand loosened. Tao Man pushed hard and prepared to move forward.
But the next second, Fu Duo's footsteps sounded again.
"Secretary Tao, please stay!"
Secretary Duan stopped Tao Man. This time he was like an iron fence, preventing Tao Man from taking a single step forward.
Tao Man looked in disbelief at the direction the man left.
Why didn't he listen?
Why didn't he explain?
Which link went wrong?
She grabbed Duan Tao as if he were her last straw.
"Secretary Duan, please help me tell Fu Duo that I really did nothing wrong back then. Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu can both testify for me!"
There was a hint of scrutiny in Duan Tao's eyes.
He spoke, sending Tao Man to hell:
"Twelve years ago, Mr. Fu's parents accompanied him to immigrate overseas. Mr. Fu's mother suffered a sudden heart attack on the cruise ship and died due to lack of medical treatment."
"Mr. Fu's father was devastated and collapsed as soon as he got off the boat. He is now receiving treatment at the Great Britain Sanatorium."
Twelve years ago.
It was the year when Tao Man was forced by Fu Jun and found out that she was pregnant.
She stood there in a daze, the cold starting from her feet, inch by inch, until her entire body was cold.
Fu Duo is not busy with any projects.
Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu deceived her.
They took Fu Duo abroad!
It took Tao Man a while to find her voice. She asked with difficulty, "Was it difficult for Fu Duo during those years?"
She didn't understand what went wrong, but after hearing Duan Tao's two short sentences, she could vaguely feel Fu Duo's collapse twelve years ago.
Overnight, one of my parents died and the other fell ill.
Having no relatives overseas, Fu Duo had to support himself.
Duan Tao did not reply to Tao Man, but advised:
"Secretary Tao, the matter has passed. President Fu's patience is limited. Please stop pestering me."
"Young Master Fu Jun is in a difficult situation right now, and President Fu hasn't shown any sign of emotion. You... take care of yourself."
In Duan Tao's eyes, Fu Duo only took revenge on Fu Jun for what happened back then, which was already a kindness to Tao Man.
He hurriedly turned around and followed Fu Duo, leaving Tao Man standing there alone.
When I opened the car door, I found that the air pressure inside the car was ridiculously low.
The driver didn't understand what was going on and could only look at Duan Tao for help.
"Mr. Fu..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Fu Duo's suppressed voice came out briefly:
"drive!"
"Where are you going?"
"I told you to drive!"
The car drove away from the Worry-Free Charity Foundation aimlessly. Fu Duo was already on the verge of emotional collapse, and the driver did not dare to bring bad luck, so he could only take Fu Duo for a wander around Beijing.
Fu Duo took off his gold-rimmed glasses and looked out the window.
Tiananmen Square, the old imperial palace, the food factory... no matter how it develops and renovates, he can still see what it looked like twelve years ago.
On the slightly old street, a girl wearing a red scarf pulled him up from the mud.
That was his most difficult moment.
Tao Man...
The light in his heart, the fire in his eyes.
Why did it have to be Fu Jun! One is his beloved, the other is his closest relative, why did they both betray him!
"Go back to the hotel."
Fu Duo withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at the old scenery outside the window.
After putting on the glasses, the eyes behind the lenses gradually became clearer, and finally became as calm as an ancient well.
The driver breathed a sigh of relief, but Duan Tao felt mixed emotions.
After getting off the car, he tentatively asked, "Are you still donating to the foundation?"
"Donate. There's no need to delay important matters for insignificant people." Fu Duo had completely returned to his previous state. "Contact Mr. Yu."
It means to avoid Taoman and not to have any contact with him.
"That child—"
Duan Tao thought that no one would lie about such a thing.
What's more, he had seen the child with his own eyes, and he looked exactly like Fu Duo!
But Fu Duo disagreed.
He and Fu Jun are cousins, blood relatives, so their children naturally look alike.
If you want to use tricks like blood test to identify relatives, it is really outdated.
Seeing that Fu Duo had made a decision, Duan Tao wisely stopped talking and told him the arrangements for the afternoon.
"Because of things at the Tao... Foundation, my meeting with Mr. Sun this morning was delayed. I've already told him to reschedule it to a dinner, but Mr. Sun doesn't eat out, so the meeting is scheduled for 4 o'clock."
"The people General Yu introduced have all been moved to the day after tomorrow. The original itinerary was to meet Commander Peng Zhendong. What do you think?"
Although Peng Zhendong is not a businessman, he is an old and powerful person in Beijing.
Although their current strength is not as strong as before, they are new arrivals and should not be underestimated.
"Prepare a generous gift, and the face will disappear."
Fu Duo originally had no plans to develop in Beijing for a long time. In his eyes, the four special economic zones were more valuable.
Duan Tao nodded and prepared a valuable gift to send to the Peng family according to Fu Duo's instructions.
Since Peng Zhendong was not at home, Peng Bo accepted it on his behalf, and then exchanged a few words with Duan Tao before sending the man out.
When she turned around, Pang Meiting had already opened several boxes and was looking at a set of jewelry over and over again.
Her eyes were full of joy and greed.
"Mr. Fu is really sensible. I've seen everything. Everything is good stuff and must cost a lot of money!"
Pang Meiting had already taken apart the necklace and put it around her neck.
After being married into the Peng family for so long, I finally tasted some sweetness.
If someone came to curry favor with Peng Zhendong every day, the amount of gifts he would receive would be enormous!
Peng Bo's face was gloomy, and he sneered: "Sensible?"
The truly sensible person should have kept the appointment on time instead of sending the secretary with gifts to get rid of people. It clearly shows that he doesn't take the Peng family seriously!
Pang Meiting didn't understand the intricacies of the story. She just saw a lot of things with crooked foreign writing on them, which meant they must be expensive goods.
