Butler Wang said, “These are all the rules of the Zhan family in the past. They’ve been removed now. It’s voluntary whether you want to tattoo this totem or not. Therefore, some people have tattooed this, while others don’t.”
“I see!”
Tang Weiwei sighed.
Initially, she thought that she had found a clue, but she did not expect that in the end, her joy was in vain. Zhan Xiaoting was not the person she was looking for.
It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to interact with the other members of the Zhan family, but…
“ButlerWang, where do the other members of the Zhan family usually live? Why haven’t I seen any of them?” she asked tentatively.
“The others are busy with their own matters, but they occasionally return to the old residence for a gathering.”
Hearing Butler Wang’s words, Tang Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief.
Then she would wait for a while and find an opportunity to investigate who the man from five years ago was.
However, the most important thing now was to find a new job.
However, after running for a few days, she still found nothing.
Tang Weiwei was very anxious. She was about to go to the hospital to pay for An’an’s hospitalization fees. She did not have much savings left and could not last for more than a few days.
On this day.
Tang Weiwei was notified again that she had not been hired.
She walked down the road in a daze, almost in tears. At that moment…
She received a call from the manager.
“Weiwei, I was wrong before. I apologize. Can you come back to work?”
Tang Weiwei was shocked.
She even wondered if it was a dream. It was only when she pinched herself that she was sure that it was real.
“I… didn’t I get fired?”
“It was all a misunderstanding!”
The manager said obsequiously.
“However, if you knew Master Zhan, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I knew that you knew Master Zhan, those misunderstandings wouldn’t have happened, right?”
“Master Zhan? What Master Zhan?” Tang Weiwei’s eyes widened.
Was it Zhan Shaoting?
“Weiwei, don’t hide it anymore. Master Zhan called our boss personally.”
The manager felt that Tang Weiwei was pretending to be stupid. “Come back to work tomorrow. I’ll give you a few days of paid leave!”
“Okay, okay, okay!” Tang Weiwei immediately agreed, her voice a little choked.
After hanging up the phone, she still found it unbelievable. She did not expect the matter of work to be resolved just like that.
But why would Zhan Xiaoting help her?
Puzzled, Tang Weiwei returned to the manor and saw Zhan Xiaoting’s car parked in the garage.
Knowing that Zhan Xiaoting had returned, she immediately went upstairs to look for him.
However, when she turned the corner, she almost bumped into someone.
“What are you doing?”
Zhan Xiaoting protected the items in his arms and took two steps back as he asked coldly.
It was only then that Tang Weiwei realized that the thing that Zhan Xiaoting was holding in his arms was actually a super-sized figurine.
She asked in surprise, “Master Zhan, do you like Superman?”
Not only did Zhan Xiaoting look like An’an, but they also seemed to like similar things.
“It’s a gift!” Zhan Xiaoting gave a perfunctory reply.
Previously, he had stood An’an up. Thinking of how he had said that he liked Superman, he had bought the latest super manpower for him from overseas.
He had been working overtime every day these past few days. He finally had time today, so he decided to personally send it to the hospital.
Seeing Tang Weiwei still standing in front of him, he frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Only then did Tang Weiwei remember why she was looking for him.
“Master Zhan, let me treat you to a meal!”
When Zhan Xiaoting heard this, he looked at her coldly.
“I’ve said it before. I won’t like you. When Grandpa gets better, I’ll divorce you immediately. Don’t waste your time on me!”
Tang Weiwei was speechless.
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you either!” she snapped. “I’m only treating you to a meal because you helped me with my work.”
Only then did Zhan Xiaoting’s expression look better.
“Our manager has already called me to tell me to go back to work.” Tang Weiwei couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you helping me?”
“It’s convenient!” Zhan Xiaoting said casually.
In fact, she had been going out early and coming back late recently. He had asked Butler Wang and found out that she had been looking for a job every day, and her feet had been worn out until they had a few blisters.
He thought about how he had misunderstood her previously and even said many nasty words. Hence, he made a call and helped her return to her original company to work.
“No matter what, I have to thank you…”
Tang Weiwei said sincerely.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to eat with me. Then do you have any gifts you want? I can buy them for you too.”
With that, she added, “Of course, don’t be too expensive!”
She couldn’t afford it either.
She had to save all her money to treat An’an.
“I don’t want anything!” Zhan Xiaoting said crudely.
He looked at the time. It was getting late. Any later and it would be past visiting hours at the hospital.
“I still have things to do!”
After he finished speaking, he walked around Tang Weiwei and left.
Tang Weiwei looked at Zhan Xiaoting’s back.
She decided in her heart that she would definitely return this favor!
…
On Zhan Xiaoting’s side.
He drove to the hospital as fast as he could and successfully delivered the gift to An’an before visiting hours were over.
“This is for you. Do you like it?”
An’an was extremely happy to see Zhan Xiaoting.
When he saw the Superman figurine, he hugged Zhan Xiaoting happily.
“I like it, I like it very much…”
“As long as you like it!”
Being hugged by An’an’s soft little hand, Zhan Xiaoting’s hard heart sank a little.
Seeing An’an so happy, he wished he could give the little boy the whole world.
Old Master Zhen had always wanted a grandson, but Zhan Xiaoting had alway sbeen very repulsed by the idea of it.
However, if that child could be more like An’an, it wouldn’t be so difficult to accept.
After the initial excitement, An’an suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, “Uncle Zhan, is this Superman very expensive?”
“It’s not expensive!” Zhan Xiaoting knew what he was worried about and immediately said, “I bought this overseas when I was on a business trip. It’s very cheap!”
An’an was relieved to hear that.
Zhan Xiaoting stayed with him for a while longer, and only left after visiting hours were over.
…
The next day.
Not only did Tang Weiwei successfully return to the company, but the client she had been with before also came to sign the contract and bought a villa in full.
What a double blessing!
She was in a good mood. After work, she bought a small cake and brought it to the hospital to celebrate with An’an.
When she arrived at the hospital, she immediately saw the Superman figurine in An’an’s arms.
She asked in shock, “An’an, where did this come from?”
This thing…
Didn’t she see Zhan Xiaoting have one yesterday?
He even said that he bought it as a gift!
Why was it with An’an?
An’an hugged the super-sized figure and said, “My friend gave this to me!”
“What friend?” Tang Weiwei asked nervously.
“I wanted to introduce him to Mom last time, but he had something on at the last minute and went overseas on a business trip…”
An’an answered honestly, “This is a gift he brought for me when he came back from overseas.”
When he saw how nervous his mother was, he thought that she was afraid that he would accept someone else’s expensive gift.
He added, “I asked him. He said it wasn’t expensive!”
Hearing this, Tang Weiwei had an ominous feeling.
“What’s your friend’s name?”
Anan’s friend had gone overseas for a business trip a few days ago, and Zhan Xiaoting had also gone on a business trip…
Zhan Xiaoting had just bought a Superman figurine and given it out yesterday, and An’an had a Superman figurine today…
How could there be such a coincidence?
Could An ‘an’s friend be Zhan Xiaoting?
“His name is Zhan Xiaoting!” An’an replied.
At the same time.
Coincidentally, the door of the ward opened.
Tang Weiwei was stunned and immediately looked over.
She saw…
