80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 443 Ding Ying's Side Story 1
Wedding scene.

Ding Ying's gaze drifted toward the newlyweds who were the center of everyone's attention.

The bride, dressed in a white wedding gown, looked confident and radiant.

The groom was calm and reserved, with cool and aloof eyes, but when he looked at the bride, his eyes were full of joy.

Besides regret, he felt mostly blessings.

Looking away, I saw my friends in pairs, each with their own children.

Looking at myself, all alone, it would be a lie to say I'm not envious.

They endured until the banquet ended.

As he left, the bride and groom saw him off with smiles.

Once he got into the car, he couldn't help but look back.

Ding's mother immediately cleared her throat, indicating, "What are you looking at? Yingtang? Forget about it. Hurry up and find someone yourself. You're over thirty, almost forty. If you keep going like this, what girl would want you?"

Ding Ying corrected: "Mingming is only in his early thirties, which is the perfect time to build his career."

Ding's mother: "What's the point of life if you only have a career but no family?"

Ding Ying: "I don't think so." Apart from being a little lonely, being alone is quite nice.

The woman he knew was well-educated, reasonable, and tolerant before marriage.

She became a completely different person after marriage, becoming petty and calculating.

Apart from her younger sister and Yingtang, everyone else seems abnormal.

For example, the second sister doesn't get along with her in-laws and torments Xi Yue from time to time.

Only Xi Yue, with his good temper, could tolerate him.

If it were him, he would have kicked her out long ago.

Take Zhong Nana for example. She married one of her friends, with whom she got along fairly well. Before the marriage, they agreed not to interfere in each other's private affairs.

He would check up on her every few days after marriage.

What if he's unlucky and meets a woman like that?
Ding's mother continued, "If you don't find a partner and have children, who will take care of you when you get old? Don't even think about relying on Ruoyu to support you in your old age."

Ding Ying: "Having children doesn't necessarily mean they'll take care of me in my old age. You know the Leng family, right? In his last two years, Old Master Leng lived separately from his children, with only a helper by his side. He was beaten so badly by the helper that he was covered in injuries and died for several days before being discovered."

Ding's mother snorted angrily, "Why are you always thinking about bad things! Don't talk to me."

Ding Ying shut his mouth.

Ding's mother was even angrier. When she got home, she complained to Ding's grandfather: "When I asked him to find a partner, he had a lot of excuses."

Grandpa Ding: "Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. Being cautious is the right thing to do."

Ding's mother: "He's met all the girls he knows, but he hasn't taken a liking to any of them. Isn't he being too cautious?"

There were so many girls, and she thought quite a few of them were pretty.

He insisted that it wouldn't work.

Grandma Ding: "What kind of girl do you like?"

Ding Ying laughed and said, "They have to be beautiful, unforgettable at first glance."

Grandma Ding: "I recently met a very pretty girl while taking a walk in the park. Her face and figure are so beautiful. I've never seen such a pretty girl before, except for Yingtang. Her name is also lovely, Mantianxing (Full of Stars)."

Ding Ying didn't believe it: "Wearing so much in the dead of winter, how can you tell her figure? Little girl, how young? Don't tell me she's under eighteen."

“I’ve met her at the bathhouse, and her waist is just this thin.” Grandma Ding gestured and then said, “I asked her age, she’s twenty-three. Compared to you, she’s a bit too young. I’ll try my best to convince her that she doesn’t mind that you’re old.”

Ding Ying: "."

Before Ding Ying could speak, Ding's mother said, "Is there anyone with the surname Man? It's probably a pseudonym. What's your education level? Where are you from? Twenty-three, extremely beautiful, and no boyfriend? I guess you have a bad personality, or you've been dumped, or you've been divorced."

Grandma Ding said, "Check the Hundred Family Surnames to see if she's there. What's her education level? Where's she from? I'm not checking household registrations, why would I ask these questions? Judging from her voice, she has a very good personality. I've seen her walk, and she walks differently than married women, so she's definitely never been married. Even if the engagement is called off, it might not necessarily be her fault. Xiao Ying, do you want to meet her?"

Ding's mother waved her hand: "No, you don't even know his educational background. How can you introduce someone like that to Xiaoying?"

Grandma Ding's tone turned serious: "I didn't ask you."

Ding's mother: "."

Ding Ying said frankly, "Okay, you can arrange it. First of all, let's make it clear that this is just a meeting, not a relationship. Don't assume that just because we met, you're my girlfriend. Don't go around telling people that I have a boyfriend or anything like that. It will cause misunderstandings and damage her reputation."

Grandma Ding assured her, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of gossipy person."

Grandpa Ding: "Is that reliable? Your eyesight is failing, what kind of pretty girl could you possibly see?"

“I wear glasses, so I’m very reliable. Several of my old girlfriends are saying my grandson got married too early. They’ve all taken a liking to that girl. I was going to introduce him to someone too, but Xiao Ying hasn’t been home these past few days, and I don’t understand what he’s thinking, so I haven’t dared to say anything,” said Grandma Ding.

Ding Ying smiled and said, "So the girl doesn't know about this yet? Maybe she's not planning on going on a blind date with me."

"If you don't plan to, then forget it. Just wait for me."

"it is good."

"."

After persuading Ding Ying, Old Mrs. Ding got up very early the next morning.

After standing in the cold wind for more than half an hour, I finally saw the person I was waiting for.

She called out, "Star."

I tried to walk over, but my feet were numb with cold, and I stumbled as I took a step.

Just when she thought she was going to fall, Mantianxing rushed forward and caught Grandma Ding steadily: "Grandma Ding, does your leg hurt?"

Grandma Ding: "Ouch, my skin is numb from the cold."

"It's so cold, don't go out alone anymore." Mantianxing helped the old lady sit down. "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Grandma Ding said, "It's nearby, no rush. You're up really early. I've known you for so long, and I still don't know where you live? Judging from your accent, you're not from around here, are you visiting relatives?"

Mantianxing: "I'm from the south. I went to university here and will stay here to work after graduation."

"Which university, and what does it do?"

"Yanjing Normal University, library errand boy." Mantianxing said with a hint of helplessness.

"A college student doing odd jobs in the library?" Old Mrs. Ding found it hard to believe.

"There's nothing I can do, I've offended someone." Mantianxing was also a little angry.

Grandma Ding: "With such a good temper, how could you offend anyone? Does your family know?"

"I have no family; my parents died early." A faint sadness appeared on Mantianxing's face.

Grandma Ding felt sorry for you: "Oh, you have such a hard life, child. But you're so determined. You have no parents, yet you still managed to get into university. Who paid for your tuition while you were studying?"

“I was helped by a kind person. The person was from Beijing. Because of this, I applied to a university here. I thought everyone was as good as the person who helped me. Who knew there were bad people.” Mantianxing felt very upset. She had the address of the person who helped her. The person said she could contact them if needed.

She couldn't muster the courage. She had said that she would repay the other party's financial assistance once she earned money.

But now, after deducting living expenses and sending money back to the village to support her two cousins ​​who can't afford to go to school, she doesn't have much left from her salary.

Grandma Ding felt quite sorry for the poor girl. She thought for a moment and said, "Don't you want to rise in status and become a phoenix?"

Man Tianxing slightly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright: "What do you mean?"

Grandma Ding: "My grandson's name is Ding Ying, the 'Ying' in 'win' or 'lose.' He's a bit old, thirty-one, much older than you. But he looks like he's only twenty-seven or twenty-nine. He's probably making money, and he has a good job. He works in a foreign trade company and speaks several languages. As for his appearance... see for yourself." She took out a photo she had prepared earlier.

The starry sky swept across the scene.

The young man, dressed in a black trench coat, stood alone under the maple tree.

He had a handsome face and a tall, elegant figure.

Grandma Ding pulled away the top photo: "There's another one here, he took it at the entrance of his workplace."

Grandma Ding was worried that the young woman wouldn't believe her, so she brought a photo that could prove her identity.

With his eyes lowered, Mantianxing stood out among the group of well-dressed young men.

A thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly calmed down: "At thirty-one, it's the perfect time to be rational. With such good qualities, how could she possibly be interested in me?"

Grandma Ding: "Just tell me if you're satisfied or not."

Baby's Breath smiled, biting her lip. "Mmm!" He's good-looking and has great qualities; how could she not be satisfied? "When do we meet?"

Grandma Ding: "I love that you're so unpretentious. When are you free? We'll accommodate your schedule."

Starry Sky: "How about noon today? I get off work at 11:30, and I can come here at 12:00."

"Row."

After making the appointment with Mantianxing, Grandma Ding called Ding Ying, who was already at work.

Tell him about the girl's general situation.

Ding Ying: "See you at noon? So soon? I don't know what it'll be like."

"When you get there, the most beautiful one you'll see is it."

Ding Ying was skeptical of what Old Mrs. Ding said.

How beautiful can it be?
During his lunch break, he went to the park near his home at the time the old lady had told him.

Aside from the elderly people sunbathing, he was the only young person there.

Is Grandma deliberately messing with him?

Should we punish him by preventing him from finding a partner?
He walked to an empty bench and sat down, basking in the warm sunshine.

A crisp sound echoed in my ears.

"Hello, Comrade Ding."

Ding Ying raised his head slightly. The woman was in her early twenties, with delicate features, red lips, and white teeth.

She was wearing a beige coat and a black scarf around her neck.

Her hair reached about her collarbone, with a few bangs.

A gust of wind blew, and her bangs parted to the sides, revealing her smooth forehead.

"Baby's breath?"

"Yes!" Starry Night smiled, revealing her shallow dimples.

Ding Ying thought to himself, "Grandma wasn't exaggerating; she really is beautiful."

Beauty is not aggressive in any way.

He stood up, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and looked down at the top of her head: "Have you eaten?"

Man Tianxing looked up, and after a brief eye contact with him, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked away and said, "You ate it, didn't you?"

"I ate it too."

Starry Sky: "How about we sit down and chat?"

Ding Ying sat down again: "Grandma said that you offended someone and were assigned to the library after graduating from university?" Grandma meant that even if the two of them didn't get together, she hoped he would help her.

It's so frustrating for college students to work odd jobs in the library.

It also wastes talent.

Baby's Breath: "Yes."

Ding Ying: "What caused you to offend this person?"

Somewhat embarrassed, Man Tianxing remembered what Old Mrs. Ding had said about a chance for a sparrow to become a phoenix. Since the other party was asking, they must intend to help her, right?

Once this opportunity is missed, will there be another one like it?
"Actually, I'm not quite sure why. Before graduation, the head of our department talked to me. I still feel embarrassed thinking about it now. He hinted that I should become his mistress. If I agreed, I should go to his office the next day. I ignored him and thought the matter was over. When I got my job offer, those who didn't do as well as me got better jobs. So I guessed it was him."

Ding Ying didn't find it strange.

It's normal for beautiful women to be targeted.

He asked, "Did they contact you later?"

"No, it's been a year since graduation, and I haven't seen him. That's why I'm not entirely sure," said Mantianxing. "You have a lot of social experience. What do you think? Should I arrange to meet him, test the waters, and gather evidence to report him?"

Ding Ying was about to offer his opinion when he caught a glimpse of Grandpa Ding and Grandma Ding out of the corner of his eye: "Shall we take a walk around the neighborhood?"

"Okay."

The two walked away.

Grandma Ding watched the two figures and said, "They probably hit it off and are taking a walk together."

Grandpa Ding: "I guess they've discovered us."

"How could that be? We're standing so far away."

Grandpa Ding retorted, "Young people have good eyesight. When I was Xiao Ying's age, I could shoot an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces away."

Grandma Ding muttered to herself, "So, you didn't like her? That shouldn't be the case. This girl is so beautiful. Do you think Xiao Ying would be interested?"

"A pretty face isn't enough. Xiao Ying values ​​intelligence, like Ying Tang. Even when Xiao Qin isn't around, she can solve her own problems. She can even help herself," said Grandpa Ding.

Grandma Ding: "If she can solve her own problems and even help him, why would a girl like her look for a boyfriend? Yingtang didn't solve all her problems on her own either. She consulted Xiaoying about business many times. Otherwise, how would Xiaoying get a share of the profits?"

Old Master Ding choked on his words: "You have a point."

Grandma Ding: "Of course I have my reasons. Getting married is about solving your own problems. Why marry someone else? Isn't it better to live alone? This girl is an orphan, sponsored by kind people, and working hard to get into university. What does that show? She has a resilient character and doesn't give up when faced with difficulties. She's lucky and intelligent. If Xiao Ying were in her situation, she might not be as capable as her."

Grandpa Ding: "You're right. They're gone, should we still follow them?"

"I'm not going anymore. It's cold."
