Chapter 673 A Huge Matter

Wang Yang dared not let Qin Tongtong know about the many dangers he had experienced in the village. If she knew, she would definitely not let him go out again, so he glossed over it lightly.

"Oh, I see. That's good. I was worried about Xia before. I can't even imagine a girl as good as her marrying someone like Wang Tian!"

“I didn’t really plan to deal with him. After I made him destroy the IOU last time, there were no more problems. I was just afraid that he would shamelessly come back to me. This time, it’s finally a complete solution.”

Actually, this incident made Wang Yang feel relieved. People like Wang Tian would always pose a threat to Xia and the others.

"By the way, what does Xiaomi do?"

"Her grandmother was a singer, her father used to work in a company, and her mother seems to be unemployed and a housewife."

Qin Tongtong nodded: "Then it seems her family is quite well-off!"

"It's alright. I think their house is quite nice, and it's an old house, not one that Xiaomi bought for them later."

The two chatted until they arrived at the restaurant, only to find that Wang Chunfang and Dong Yiping were already there.

They came directly to the restaurant after Wang Yang left and waited for almost an hour.

"I'm so sorry, you two, this has really taken too long. This is my wife, Qin Tongtong."

"Hello, hello, it's okay. We don't have anything to do anyway. Whether we wait at the clinic or here, it's the same."

Wang Chunfang held Qin Tongtong's hand very warmly.

"I didn't expect your wife to be so beautiful. No wonder you're not tempted by all the beautiful women around you."

Wang Yang never expected that Wang Chunfang would actually joke with him.

"Professor Wang, please don't say that. There are no beautiful women around me, just colleagues."

"Qin Tongtong, you really married a good man! You have no idea how critical the situation was back then. My old man spent too much time in the laboratory back then, and he developed a lot of health problems."

“I didn’t realize how serious these illnesses were before, but later I discovered that any one of them could be fatal. Luckily, he ran into Wang Yang this time, otherwise his life would have been in grave danger!”

Recalling the situation at that time, Wang Chunfang still feels lingering fear.

"Wang Yang's medical skills are widely recognized. He can save more people, which can be considered as making a contribution to society."

Qin Tongtong's words were very tactful, and Wang Chunfang liked her even more.

During the meal, Wang Chunfang suddenly took out her phone, found a photo, and handed it to Wang Yang.

"Wang Yang, this is my sister. She disappeared many years ago, along with her son. I've been looking for them all these years, but I haven't been able to find them. I wanted to ask if you've seen her?"

Upon hearing Wang Chunfang's words, Wang Yang immediately put down his chopsticks and carefully examined the photo, while Qin Tongtong also came over.

"I've never seen this person before, and I definitely don't remember them."

Wang Yang believed he had an exceptional memory, and with the system's support, he almost had the ability to remember everything he saw.

He searched his memory and confirmed he had never seen this person before. Wang Chunfang sighed dejectedly upon hearing this.

"OK then."

"Professor Wang, why do you think I know your sister? I don't seem to be from the same place as you."

When asked this question, Wang Chunfang was immediately embarrassed, because she suspected that Wang Yang was her nephew.

"Well, we thought that since you're a doctor, you must have met a lot of people, and young people like you often go online, you might have had the chance to see this, so we wanted to ask you."

Dong Yiping quickly tried to smooth things over, and fearing that Wang Yang wouldn't believe him, he added another explanation.

"And he doesn't just treat you like this. He often takes out photos of people and asks them about them, just to have a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing Dong Yiping's words, Wang Yang immediately understood.

"Professor Wang, how about this, you send me a copy of this photo, and I'll help you find it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunfang immediately took out an old photograph from her bag.

“Then I’ll give you this photo. Just do your best to find it. Don’t worry. We haven’t found it after all these years. To be honest, I’ve thought there’s probably no hope.”

Wang Chunfang knew in her heart that she was not young anymore, and she might never find them again in this lifetime.

"Professor Wang, don't be discouraged. With the internet so developed now, we're sure we can find it."

Wang Chunfang nodded, but she also knew that the hope was slim. Now it seemed that her greatest hope was that Wang Yang was her family.

After finishing their meal, the four of them said goodbye.

"Professor Wang, when are you going back?"

"We'll probably go back in a while. This is just a return visit for us. We won't be staying long before we have to leave."

Wang Yang nodded: "Okay, if you need anything during this time, just give me a call. If you're not feeling well, just give me a call and I'll come over."

"Okay, that's really too much trouble for you!"

……

On the way home, Qin Tongtong kept her head down, looking sullen. Wang Yang thought he had said something wrong at the dinner table, but upon reflection, he couldn't recall saying anything significant.

When they got home, Xiaochun and Wang Lan were leisurely lying on the sofa applying face masks.

"Hey, Wang Yang, you're finally back! You have no idea how much Qin Tongtong talks about you every day, she mentions you eight hundred times a day!"

Qin Tongtong blushed immediately upon hearing this.

"What are you saying! Just focus on your face mask and stop talking!"

Wang Lan immediately stood up warmly: "Oh, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Have you eaten yet?"

"Oh, right, Xiaoling and I just ate out. Someone treated us to dinner. Mom, please sit down!"

Wang Yang is now the pillar of the family, and no one dares to mistreat him. Xiao Chun watched this scene, gave a cold laugh, but said nothing.

"By the way, Qin Tongtong, do you know about that matter?"

Qin Tongtong nodded without saying anything and casually sat down opposite Xiaochun.

"What's up?" Wang Yang asked.

"I haven't told Wang Yang yet! Their company is going bankrupt."

Qin Tongtong immediately interrupted her: "Can you speak properly? Don't exaggerate. What do you mean it's going to go bankrupt? It's just going to be acquired by another company." Qin Tongtong was already annoyed by this matter today, and Xiaochun's words made her even more annoyed.

"What? Doesn't that mean it's about to go bankrupt?" Wang Lan suddenly interjected.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. It was just acquired."

Wang Yang quickly sat down next to Qin Tongtong: "I saw you looking sullen on the way back. I thought I had done something to upset you. What happened?"

Qin Tongtong said weakly, "Actually, I don't really understand either. This was a decision made by our company's senior management. I heard that a very large company is going to acquire us."

Wang Yang knew a bit about Qin Tongtong's company; it had been profitable for years, which shouldn't be the case normally.

"Your company didn't lose money, so how did it suddenly get acquired?"

At this moment, Xiaochun suddenly interjected, "That's right, there must be something wrong. Their company earns more money than us every year!"

"The most crucial point is that I heard this acquisition is not treating you as a complete company, but only acquiring a small department, so everyone is speculating that there will likely be layoffs, since no department can accommodate the entire workforce of a company."

Wang Yang pondered for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe we'll reassign you to different departments."

"Nobody knows the specifics right now. Anyway, the mayor and the others don't care about us anymore. They just disappeared as soon as the news was announced."

"That is indeed quite strange, but it's okay. If you really lose your job, you can try working at Xiaochun's company."

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun burst out laughing.

"You're quite good at making arrangements, aren't you? Why don't you just say that when she really loses her job, she can just stay at home as a housewife and you can still support her?"

Qin Tongtong rolled her eyes helplessly. Her long-held belief was that she would never be a housewife; women must have their own careers, even though Wang Yang's business was so successful.

Even if Wang Yang becomes more successful in the future, she must have her own career and not rely solely on Wang Yang.

"Don't say things like that. You know she's definitely not going to stay home obediently. Besides, I think everyone should have their own job."

Wang Yang nodded upon hearing this; he had also considered this point when choosing his marriage partner.

"How about this, I'll go and inquire tomorrow, ask our general manager, maybe he has some information!"

"Actually, there's no point in asking around. We're in a very passive position right now anyway. Even if I knew the reason for the acquisition, I couldn't just resign."

Xiaochun thought about it and felt that Qin Tongtong made sense. No matter what, she had to keep her job.

"I'm just a little worried. My old rival might get promoted. If the company is really acquired, I might lose my position as team leader."

"Don't worry, how about this, I'll ask Xiaoxue and the others tomorrow. They're in this circle, they should know something about it."

Qin Tongtong immediately refused: "No need, this is a small matter for them, there's no need to bother them with such trivial things."

"What are you talking about? How can your matter be a small matter? In my eyes, your matter is a huge matter. Besides, I helped them so much, why can't they help me a little?"

Hearing this, Xiaochun couldn't help but laugh. She had never realized before that Wang Yang was quite romantic and not a typical straight man.

"Alright, alright, don't worry about this for now. Focus on your work. I'll ask about it tomorrow."

"By the way, Xiaochun, how's things going between you and your husband?" Wang Yang didn't want to kick Xiaochun out, but it wasn't a long-term solution for her to stay at his house.

When the topic came up, Xiaochun became somewhat evasive; her husband had been trying to contact her for the past few days.

"What is Xiao Zhao thinking? Has he talked to you about it?"

“We’ve talked to him, but he just keeps going back and forth about not wanting a divorce. If we do get a divorce, we have to go to court.”

Wang Yang didn't expect this person to be so shameless. He must know that Xiao Chun doesn't have concrete evidence of his infidelity, which is why he's been dragging his feet.

"So what are you thinking now? Do you want to divorce him?"

"Of course I can't be with him anymore, but I don't want to make a big deal out of it. You know, if it gets out of hand, my dad will definitely have a hard time with me."

What Xiaochun didn't say was that she was actually more worried about the child. If the matter went to court, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to win custody.

"You mean it would be best to resolve this privately, but Xiao Zhao is unwilling?"

“I told you before that I’d wait for you to come back and resolve this, but you’ve been away for several days and haven’t come back, so Xiao Zhao’s side has been dragging on.” Qin Tongtong said this with a hint of complaint about Wang Yang staying away for several days.

"Alright, leave this to me. I'll talk to him tomorrow!"

The next day, Wang Yang invited Xiao Zhao to a coffee shop.

"Xiao Zhao, let's not beat around the bush, let's just tell you your conditions."

Xiao Zhao raised an eyebrow as he looked at Wang Yang, who was so different from before.

"My condition is very simple: I won't get a divorce. Xiaochun should be able to do that, right?"

"What makes you think she can do that? You were the one who cheated first, isn't it perfectly reasonable for her to file for divorce?"

Xiao Zhao smiled dismissively: "Every time I meet her, she brings this up, but when I ask her for evidence, she can't produce any. I'm a lawyer; everything requires evidence. Do you have any?"

After saying that, Xiao Zhao deliberately winked at Wang Yang. He knew in his heart that the other party did not have any solid evidence. If he did, he would have submitted it to the court long ago.

"Are you threatening us? Just because we have no evidence, you think you can drag this out without getting a divorce, and that you might even get custody of the children?"

Xiao Zhao nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Finally, I've met someone who understands. Qin Tongtong and Xiaochun have talked to me about this countless times before, but they still don't understand."

"It's not that they don't understand, but that they never imagined that the person who has shared a bed with you for so many years could be so vicious."

Wang Yang had already guessed Xiao Zhao's thoughts: he didn't want to divorce Xiao Chun, because as long as they didn't divorce, he could get a share of the marital property.

Xiaochun's social status is not as high as his. Although Xiaochun's salary is not high, she is a lawyer and her income comes from various sources, including investments and other industries, some of which are inconvenient to disclose.

If things really go to court, Xiaochun isn't entirely confident about the child's custody, and Xiaozhao is taking advantage of that to be so arrogant.

"Wang Yang, to be honest with you, you shouldn't get involved in our family matters. I know you're successful now, but that has nothing to do with this."

“I really have no relationship with Xiaochun, and we didn’t get along well before, but she’s close to Qin Tongtong, and now she’s even living in our house. I can’t just ignore this. Whether as a relative or as a bystander, I have to condemn you.”

Upon hearing the word "condemnation," Xiao Zhao burst into laughter.

"Then tell me, what makes you accuse me? You say I cheated, do you have any evidence? What makes you say I cheated? I could say she cheated too!"

Wang Yang had long anticipated that Xiao Zhao would turn the tables on him; someone like him would definitely have been prepared.

"You're so arrogant because you know we have no evidence, aren't you? Maybe we'll get the evidence someday?"
