Ding Rong glared at Ding Chen. “Watch your words.”

Ding Chen shrugged. “I didn’t say anything wrong. He clearly wants to throw the Huo couple into the sea to feed the fish, but he still wants to thank them in front of everyone. Don’t you think this is ridiculous?”

“What does that matter?” Xi Cheng said indifferently in the face of Ding Chen’s mockery, “Wouldn’t it be more interesting to first express kindness to the other party, then take them by surprise and throw them into the sea filled with sharks?”

Ding Chen gave Xi Cheng a disdainful look and said to Ding Rong, “Sister, were you blind when you were young? How did you fall for such a despicable and shameless guy?”

Xi Cheng’s expression froze for a moment. He had been too relaxed in the Ding Family recently and unknowingly revealed the bad side of his personality.

He did not know if Ding Rong had noticed his dark side. She should have, right? After all, Ding Rong was such a sharp woman. What would she think of him?

The thought of Ding Rong possibly hating him made Xi Cheng feel a little uneasy.

As if she sensed Xi Cheng’s gaze, Ding Rong turned to meet his gaze. Her eyes were like calm lakes that could tolerate all his kindness and evil.

After a while, Bi Ying came to the Ding Family with his uncle, Bi Long.

Bi Long hadn’t planned on attending the Ding Family’s gathering. He had just come out of prison two days ago and felt that his identity was too unbearable. He was worried that the Ding Family would despise him and that it would affect Bi Ying’s image in the eyes of his friends.

Bi Ying was not sure if the Ding Family would mind his uncle’s identity, so he did not come over with him. However, after he reached the Ding Family, everyone asked him why he did not come over with Bi Long.

This was especially so for Ding Chen. After he sensed Bi Ying’s sensitive thoughts, he rubbed his hair hard and deliberately pretended to be careless as he said, “Didn’t you say earlier that your uncle wanted to have a drink with me? I didn’t see him coming over either. This is a good opportunity for everyone to gather. Quickly go back and bring him over. Tell him not to be so self-conscious.”

Bi Ying observed everyone’s expressions and realized that everyone was smiling and did not feel that there was anything wrong with Ding Chen’s words. He felt relieved and ran home quickly.

Not long later, Bi Ying brought a man to the Ding Family’s small courtyard.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ding Chen was smoking at the door again and saw their figures from afar.

Bi Long’s back was slightly bent. One could see bits of white hair in his short hair. His face was also filled with vicissitudes. He was clearly about the same age as Ding Chen, but he looked like he was more than ten years older than Ding Chen.

Ding Chen walked over and held Bi Long’s hand, patting his arm hard. He said with a smile, “Your body is as strong as before. Bi Ying can earn money now. You’ll have a chance to enjoy yourself in the future.”

Bi Long’s eyes were a little moist. He shook his head and sighed. “I don’t have any other thoughts now. I just want Bi Ying to be fine and not be burdened by me.”

Bi Ying said solemnly, “Uncle, don’t say that. You’ve suffered so much for me in the past. If I find you a burden, I won’t be considered a human anymore.”

Bi Long’s lips trembled a few times. He looked deeply touched, but he could not say a word.

Ding Chen seemed as if he didn’t notice the change in his emotions and laughed. “You don’t have a child, Bi Ying doesn’t have a father, so you should just treat Bi Ying as your own son. It’s only right for a son to show filial respect to his father. Don’t think about those useless things.”

After he was released from prison, Bi Long received many eye rolls.. He had thought that the Ding Family would not care for him now that they had become rich. Who knew that Ding Chen’s attitude was even friendlier than before?
