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

Chapter 444 Ding Ying's Side Story 2

At the end of the park.

Ding Ying offered his opinion on the issue of "Full of Stars": "If you had tested the waters and gathered evidence when you first got this job, it would have been easy. Now, a year and a half has passed, and you haven't seen the other person since you graduated. If you rashly arrange to meet them, and this gets out, you might not have any leverage over them, but your own reputation could be affected first."

You need to find out about the other person's recent activities first, because what he said to you may have been said to others as well.

If you don't comply, someone else might.

Or, if others ignore him, he might once again abuse his position to make things difficult for them.

He concluded, "Evidence doesn't necessarily have to be obtained from oneself."

After thinking about it carefully, Mantianxing smiled and said, "It's a better idea than mine. I'll go back to school and inquire about it during my lunch break tomorrow. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ding Ying glanced at the time; it was almost one o'clock. "I have to go. Where do you work? Shall I give you a ride?"

Just as Baby's Breath was about to refuse, she changed her mind.

Grandma Ding's words, "Do you want to go from a sparrow to a phoenix?" kept echoing in my mind.

If she refuses, it may be the last time the two of them meet.

This man appears calm and reserved, speaks logically and reasonedly, and thinks things through thoroughly.

She's always been impulsive, so if he were around to give her pointers, things would go much more smoothly, both at work and in life.

Thinking of this, he readily agreed, "Okay, thank you for your help."

Ding Ying smiled slightly: "The library is on the way to my workplace."

"Then I'm welcome."

"."

It was my first time riding in a car.

Hesitant about how to open the door at the rear of the train at Starry Sky Station.

Seeing this, Ding Ying got out of the car again and opened the passenger door: "There are things piled up in the back, it's too restrictive to sit there, sit here."

After thanking her, Baby's Breath got into the car and noticed the toys and cardboard boxes on the back seat: "Was this a gift for someone?"

Ding Ying: "Nephew."

Baby's Breath: "You have an older sister."

Ding Ying said patiently, "Little sister."

Mantianxing thought to herself, "Your sister is already married, why aren't you?" After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "Are you going on blind dates because you have a crush on someone?"

He's really good-looking and tall.

If it weren't for Grandma Ding's connections, she would never have come into contact with someone like him in her entire life.

If it weren't for his unrequited love, she really wouldn't understand why he didn't have a girlfriend.

Ding Ying paused slightly: "Sort of, but not exactly. I admire the other person's excellence, but later I realized that everyone was lacking something."

He had been on many blind dates, and several of the girls were good-looking and well-educated.

But outstanding people always carry a bit of arrogance and a sense of superiority.

Some might even put on airs, demanding that you appease them and try to guess their thoughts.

tired!
Li Yingtang wouldn't do that, at least not in front of people she knows. As long as you don't provoke her, she won't make you lose face or make you feel embarrassed. She'll consider your feelings and say things you want to hear.

Being with her is always so easy, comfortable, and joyful.

Compared to the other options, he no longer cared about the women arranged for him by his elders.

Baby's Breath suddenly felt envious. To be admired by such an amazing man, one must be incredibly outstanding. "Why didn't they end up together?"

Ding Ying: "Her boyfriend doesn't agree."

Baby's Breath covered her mouth and laughed: "You're so funny."

And honest.

Whether it was him or his grandmother.

She always speaks her mind, unlike her colleagues at work, several of whom are older men or women who try to introduce her to potential partners, whom she addresses as "brother" or "sister" at work.

Unable to resist their enthusiasm, she met two of them.

The first one was introduced by my sister.

He is said to be 180cm tall and weigh 160kg.

I only found out when we met that she was 160cm tall and weighed 180kg.

She was so frightened that she ran away on the spot.

The older women at work are still angry with her.

Another guy introduced me to him.

Height, weight, and appearance are all normal, so there's no lie about that.

But the other party was semi-literate and lied to her, saying she was a college student from the village who had been admitted to the city.

How did she find out?

While they were shopping together, he saw a pickpocket stealing something. After pointing it out to her, he said, "I noticed he was acting suspiciously this morning."

Before she started school, she had heard the idiom "sneaky" from her parents.

After breaking up with him, she never saw him again.

Her parents and uncle were all intellectuals who responded to the call to go to the countryside and work there.

When I was young, my parents contracted a sudden illness.

When he passed away, he held her hand and said that no matter how difficult it was, she must study and leave the countryside.

If she marries an illiterate man from the countryside, her future children will inevitably have to follow in her footsteps.

She doesn't require the man she marries to be exceptionally accomplished. He should have the same educational background as her, or at the very least, a high school diploma; he absolutely cannot be someone who can mispronounce even simple idioms.

Ding Ying smiled but didn't reply.

The car was quiet.

Mantianxing was trying to find a topic to talk about, but she was worried that she might talk too much and say something wrong that would upset her and cause her to complain to Grandma Ding, making Grandma Ding lose face.

Ding Ying drove her to her workplace and opened the car door for her.

Baby's Breath stole a glance at him, and after getting off the bus, she mustered up her courage and asked, "Will we be able to meet again next time?"

Ding Ying asked in surprise, "Isn't this a blind date? How can you get to know each other if you don't meet in person?"

She is beautiful and highly educated.

He ignored her after just one meeting, and he didn't know how to explain it to his grandmother.

Baby's Breath was delighted: "Want to go to the movies together this weekend? See you at the park after noon?"

"Okay." Ding Ying gave her his phone number: "If the plan changes, call this number."

"If your plans change," said Mantianxing. "How can you contact me?"

"I will tell Grandma and ask her to pass on the message."

"Row!"

"."

at dusk.

Ding Ying returned home.

Grandpa Ding, Grandma Ding, and Ding's parents gathered together to wait for him.

Ding's mother spoke first: "How was the blind date today? Is the girl as pretty as your grandmother described? What's her personality like?"

Ding Ying: "He's alright, quite handsome indeed. As for his personality, I can't comment since we just met."

Ding's mother: "How handsome? Even more handsome than Yingtang?"

Ding Ying: "They are different types, so they can't be compared."

What type?

Ding Ying didn't know how to describe it: "In short, it's beautiful."

Grandma Ding: "I knew you'd like it."

Ding Ying was startled: "I never said I was interested in you. Don't jump to conclusions. It's just a blind date, we're just getting to know each other. There's no way we're interested in each other yet."

Grandma Ding: "You'll get to know her slowly. I've been observing that girl for a long time. Every time she appears, I can't help but take a few glances. I saw her at the bathhouse last time, but I haven't seen her recently. I don't know if she's bathing at home or has changed places."

Ding's mother: "I hope he's not slovenly, and doesn't take a bath for ten days or half a month."

Grandma Ding: "Absolutely impossible. I saw it up close. The area around her ears was exceptionally clean. It's impossible for someone who doesn't like to bathe to have such clean ears. Her hands were also clean and tidy, with short nails and not a speck of dust under her nails."

Ding Ying couldn't help but smile: "You observe very carefully, do you read it by looking at people's faces?"

Grandma Ding said, "I looked at her hair by touching it. Her hair was so smooth and smelled so good. She's very patient with us old folks. In my experience, you can't go wrong if you marry her. If you don't even want a girl like that, you shouldn't bother looking for a partner in the future. You're really blind. You'll just end up marrying someone who will cause trouble."

Ding Ying: "." Is she really that good?

I was surprised to receive such high praise from my grandmother.

Mrs. Ding's curiosity reached its peak: "How beautiful, how fragrant! Dad, you saw it too, really?" Old Master Ding: "I didn't see it clearly, how would I know if it smells good or not?"

Grandma Ding was delighted to hear this.

"Weren't you with Mom? How come I couldn't see you clearly?"

Grandpa Ding: "Xiao Ying is blocking my view. I can only see her profile and figure. She's tall. From the back, she and Xiao Ying look quite compatible. That's all I can say."

Ding's mother: "I'll bring you home to visit next time."

Ding Ying agreed: "If it's appropriate, I'll bring it home."

Before they knew it, the weekend arrived, the day the two had agreed to go to the movies.

Ding Ying arrived at the appointment on time.

The baby's breath is already waiting.

She wore a white knee-length cotton coat, paired with trendy black loose-fitting fleece pants, and matching cotton leather shoes.

"Comrade Ding." She waved.

Ding Ying: "Just call me by my name."

"Ding Ying," she immediately changed her form of address.

I wondered if I was too unfamiliar with the subject.
But I don't know what to call other names.

Ding Ying: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"I just arrived five minutes ago." Starry Sky took out the movie ticket and handed it over.

Ding Ying couldn't help but smile: "Why did you buy tickets in advance?" Especially for the movie he wanted to see.

Do you think they have some kind of unspoken understanding?
Starry Sky: "Yesterday afternoon I went shopping with a colleague. We passed by a movie theater, and she bought movie tickets because her family was going to see a movie. I thought we were going too, so I bought two tickets as well. I don't know if you like this one, but you can get a refund if you don't." If you do like it, it saves me from having to wait in line.

She felt that saying the rest would be too verbose, so she didn't say it.

Ding Ying: "Okay."

Mantianxing took out a lunchbox from her bag: "Grandma Ding said you like to eat guokui (a type of flatbread), so I made some. Would you like to try some?" She opened the lunchbox.

The aroma of food wafted to my nose.

Ding Ying took off his gloves, picked it up, and tasted it.

The outer layer is crispy, and the hawthorn filling is sweet and sour.

It's no different from what I bought.

Did the pastry shop buy them just to make up the numbers?
He said, "It tastes good, so I suppose you're a good cook too."

"Others praise me, saying I'm better than a head chef, but it's others who praise me, not me," Mantianxing emphasized.

Ding Ying smiled without saying a word.

The two went to the movie theater together.

Compared to the awkwardness of their first meeting, the two had much more to talk about this time.

Mantianxing mentioned the results of her investigation upon returning to school: "After following that person in charge for three consecutive afternoons, I finally caught something amiss. He actually has two families outside."

Ding Ying: "Has the evidence been collected?"

"Yes, I borrowed a colleague's camera and took some photos," said Mantianxing.

I borrowed someone's camera and gave them a bag of snacks as a gift.

Developing the photos cost her several dollars.

It’s worth it.

Ding Ying: "This evidence is not enough. You need to investigate the general situation of his two families, as well as where his two wives work and whether they got in through his connections."

Baby's Breath nodded: "Mm."

Ding Ying then said, "Give me your evidence, and I'll have someone investigate the rest." She's just a young girl, unfamiliar with the place and the people, and she spends so much time and energy outside of work every day. If her grandmother finds out, she'll definitely scold her.

If you see someone you like, it's just a small favor to do them.

If you don't like someone's home, then don't even bother meeting them. You just do things your own way and boss people around. What kind of behavior is that?

"Will this take up your time?" Mantianxing felt a little embarrassed to trouble him.

These past few days, she has been meeting with Grandma Ding every day.

The old lady said her grandson was quite busy and asked for her understanding.

“It won’t take much time to assign it to someone else,” Ding Ying said.

Baby's Breath stopped being coy and said, "Okay, thank you."

When they arrived at their destination, he stopped the car, and she handed him the evidence from her bag.

After handing it over, she belatedly realized, "I didn't prepare the evidence in advance, just waiting for you to ask for help. I rent a large courtyard house, which is crowded and noisy, so I always carry my valuables and documents with me."

Ding Ying: "Doesn't your company provide accommodation?"

Full of Stars: "When I went there, they said there were no vacancies. They subsidized the rent, 15 yuan a month. You're a local, you should know that a few years ago rent was cheap, you could rent a decent place for 6 or 7 yuan. Now that prices have gone up, it's not easy to rent a good place for 15 yuan."

Grandma Ding asked about her situation a couple of days ago and learned that she lives in a tenement.

It's unsafe right now.

And give her some advice.

She said that if she held Ding Ying's hand, snuggled into his arms, and coaxed him, he would arrange a place for her to stay.

She had everything planned out when she came, but after meeting him, she felt it wouldn't work.

How could you do that on the second meeting?!
Ding Ying: "I've never rented a place before, so I'm not sure." Have prices gone up?

The properties under his name are too numerous to list on several sheets of paper.

Li Yingtang asked him to buy them all; she said she wouldn't tell just anyone.

He initially thought it was some kind of ambiguous hint and was secretly pleased for several days.

As a result, Xuanxuan and her second sister listened to her and took out money to buy houses.

My second sister recently bought a dilapidated house at a bargain price, which turns out to be located in a commercial development zone designated by the government.

She received a considerable amount of money in subsidies.

He then understood.

Li Yingtang said something she wouldn't say to just anyone.

Because she only talks to friends she thinks she gets along well with and who will listen to her opinions.

She simply wanted to make money with him.

He snapped out of his thoughts and said, "I have a house near my workplace, but I don't live there anymore. If you don't mind, you can stay there and help me clean it." It was the house his parents had prepared for his wedding, and he had lived there while he was studying.

After graduation, I was coincidentally assigned to a job in that area.

He later bought a better house and stopped living there.

They couldn't bear to leave it unattended, so they had to hire two people to clean it every week.

Grandma trusted her so much.

She should be able to protect his house.

Baby's Breath: "I don't mind." A detached house, no matter how bad, can't be worse than a tenement, right?

She used to live in a tenement courtyard and thought it was quite nice.

It's lively with everyone living together.

Last month, a couple moved out of the neighborhood and a father and son moved in.

The man drinks heavily every day and beats the children. Occasionally, he stares at her intently, making her feel uneasy every day.

I've been looking for a place to live lately.

Living in Grandma Ding's grandson's house, she was no longer afraid of these things.

She added, "When can we move in?"

Ding Ying: "." So urgent?

Are we waiting for him to speak?
He couldn't take his eyes off the road while driving, so he kept glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.

His eyes were clear, and he looked completely innocent, not like someone who would scheme or plot.

Grandma said last night that she found out about the girl's parents.

Originally educated youths from a southern provincial capital, they fell in love after being sent to the countryside. While digging a ditch, they contracted parasites and meningitis, and both died.

Grandparents and maternal grandparents are all quite old and have many children.

I can't care about her.

Her uncle also lived in the countryside and was a teacher at the village primary school.

She lives with her uncle and aunt, but her uncle suffered from poor health when he was young, and his salary, after deducting daily medication, is barely enough to make ends meet. She is currently supporting her two cousins' education.

She is a girl who knows how to be grateful.
