Chapter 193: 193 The Best Way to Heal a Broken Heart_1
I recognized him at first glance, it was Ding Yinuo.
Had he stayed here since he dropped me off?
Or did he come back to pick me up after handling his affairs?
I walked briskly towards him.
He pulled me into the car.
At that time, he seemed extraordinarily silent, not uttering a word.
He didn’t ask about my negotiations with Gu Yuanzhou, nor did he ask about my plan moving forward.
Instead, he drove in silence.
He drove all the way to the old house of the Ding family and then finally took the sunglasses off his face.
Only then did I notice a layer of shadow cast across his face, a stark contrast to the joyous demeanor he wore in the morning.
“Yinuo, what happened?”
He pressed his finger to his brow, his voice slightly hoarse,
“Disaster struck!”
“What do you mean?”
He handed me his cell phone.
I took it and glanced at it. It was today’s hot news. The time posted was just half an hour ago,
that is, when I just left Zhenyi Company.
The eye-catching news headline was particularly glaring.
‘Tianjiao Company’s CEO, Ding Xiao, caught in an extramarital affair on a cruise ship, even suspected of smuggling drugs?’
Not only did it provide bed photos of Guan Xiaohui and Ding Xiao, but there were also accompanying pictures of police with sniffer dogs searching the cabin.
Undoubtedly, Gu Yuanzhou was well-prepared.
His goal is to sink the Tianjiao Company.
As the CEO of Tianjiao, Ding Xiao’s reputation is at stake now, and tomorrow Tianjiao’s stock price will definitely plummet.
Moreover, should there be no effective solution proposed, thereafter, Tianjiao will keep losing value, possibly even leading to bankruptcy.
The plan, actually, was conceived before the birth of my second child.
Back then, it was proposed by a director of a shopping center department. At the time, I felt that the plan was overly sinister.
The goal in business is to make a profit, and I always believe that the act of making money should be conducted with integrity, not by resorting to despicable means to harm others.
If a businessman loses his dignity and moral baseline, he is no different from a beast.
Therefore, I not only rejected this plan, but I also fired that director. I cannot stand people of low character.
Yet now, Gu Yuanzhou resorted to such a shady trick, which really chills me to the bone.
“Yinuo, I will help you find a solution!”
Ding Yinuo waved his hand,
“I will figure out a solution for Tianjiao’s problem. The reason I brought you here is actually to ask for another favor.”
“Alright!”
Upon entering the Ding family’s door, I realized that the situation was far more complicated than I had anticipated.
In the living room, Ding Yinuo’s sister-in-law, He Ruhui, was sitting on the couch, crying continuously.
Father Ding had a sudden heart attack due to anxiety and was in the hospital with Ding Xiao beside him.
At this moment, Ding’s mother was sitting next to He Ruhui, trying to comfort her.
But He Ruhui was not listening,
“Mom, I want a divorce! I am really in too much pain, I can’t bear it! I didn’t expect Axiao to be such a person.”
Mother Ding looked at me as if I were her savior,
“Please persuade her. She was threatening to commit suicide just now, we managed to restrain her Ah, I’m Axiao’s mother. Whatever I say now, Xiaohui won’t listen.”
Indeed, when a husband cheats, the wife, under normal circumstances, tends to develop resentment towards the mother-in-law as well, so the mother-in-law would be in no position to say anything.
I saw that He Ruhui’s wrist did indeed have several blood marks, now wrapped in gauze.
I glanced at Ding Yinuo.
Ding Yinuo also had a worried look on his face,
“I’m not good at communicating with women! You know, I have social anxiety!”
I had several questions in my mind, you’re always smooth-talking in front of me, how come you become the silent type around your sister-in-law?
“By the way, where is Ruirui?”
Mrs. Ding quickly replied, “She is still at kindergarten now, she will be let out at four-thirty in the afternoon!”
I thought for a moment, “You should send someone to fetch her now!”
Mrs. Ding hesitated, “I’m afraid that she would be scared if she saw this situation!”
“Yinuo is at home, he is a doctor. He can handle emergencies, you should just go and bring the child back home.”
I could clearly feel that Gu Yuanzhou’s move had a major impact on the Ding family.
Even Mrs. Ding was somewhat out-of-sorts
“Uh, alright, I’ll go now!”
To ensure there was no mistake, Mrs. Ding took the driver herself and headed out the door.
Ding Yinuo crossed his arms and deep in thought as he looked at me.
I briefly explained the afternoon situation, where Gu Yuanzhou had rectified the tax payment issue to Ding Yinuo.
Ding Yinuo nodded slightly, he didn’t voice any objections, instead, he patted my shoulder,
“You have done your best! Don’t worry, there’s still room for improvement in this situation.”
A few minutes later, several of Ding Yinuo’s childhood friends arrived, including Su Peisheng among them.
When they all arrived, they went into the study to discuss their strategy.
Meanwhile, I brought He Ruhui to the bedroom, then closed the room’s door.
Her eyes were filled with tears,
“I know you are here to advise me! Although I understand the logic, I can’t get over my feelings. Xiaohui is my cousin, someone I watched grow up, but they I can’t bear to think about these things, I really can’t stand it!”
“I knew Ding Xiao doesn’t love me anymore. I’m not good enough for him, his career is successful, he is so charming. Look at me now, I look frightful, I shouldn’t be alive. It’s better if I die! I will let them be together!”
The moment He Ruhui started talking, she burst into tears and her thoughts took a particularly pessimistic turn.
I didn’t interrupt her, but waited till she had finished, then I said, “I’m not here to console you!”
She looked surprised, “Then why are you here?”
I took a deep breath, my gaze shifted to the window,
“What I’ve been through is even worse than you! Your husband was drugged and slept with another woman, but my husband fell in love with another woman, and to favor his mistress, he even killed my two children…”
He Ruhui seemed to be attracted by my story. She felt what I had been through was worse than her own experience, as a mother herself, she could feel the cruelty of losing a child.
She actively grabbed my hand, trying to give me strength.
“How did you get through it?”
“I didn’t get through it! I never did. Just after it happened, I couldn’t accept the fact. Whenever I thought or saw other children, I could cry my heart out. I would often stare blankly at children on the street, always wondering if they were my children. I was down for a very long time.”
He Ruhui temporarily forgot about her own sorrow, she began to comfort me instead.
She gave me many words of encouragement.
I saw her mood return to normal, so I asked her to take out Ruirui’s photo album for me to see.
Sure enough, when she saw the pictures of her child growing up, all the sadness in He Ruhui’s eyes disappeared, replaced by happiness.
Just as I imagined, a child can heal a mother’s pain.
Then I produced the recording of Guan Xiaohui confessing that she had drugged Ding Xiao
She gradually calmed down and expressed her willingness to reconsider her future life for the sake of her child.
I didn’t know that while I was saying these words, Ding Yinuo had been standing outside the door listening.
So, when I came out, he immediately embraced me.
“Ayun! They say the best and fastest way to heal a broken heart is to find someone else to love you! I’m willing to be your antidote!”
