Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Upon entering the villa's lobby, one sees an elderly man, nearly 70 years old, sitting in a wheelchair, watching television with a remote control in his hand. Next to him sits an elderly woman in her 60s, wearing glasses, also watching television.

Tan Yan walked over.

"Dad! Mom!"

"Yan'er, have you had dinner yet?"

"Mom, I've already eaten."

Tan Yan leaned back on the sofa, looking slightly tired.

"Yan'er, what's wrong? Did you go to Humen today?"

"Yes."

"Yan'er, what's wrong? Are you troubled?"

Tan Yan felt a little embarrassed.

"No!"

"You're my daughter, don't I know you? Tell me, what is it?"

Tan Yan thought for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed to speak up.

"Mom, it's really okay."

"Yan'er, are you in love?"

"No, Mom, please don't make wild guesses, okay?"

"It's not just my guess, I really hope you find a boyfriend. We're getting on in years, and your dad and I still want to have a grandchild."

Tan Yan remained silent.

Suddenly, he opened his handbag and took out 3000 yuan.

"Mom and Dad, what's different about this money?"

Aunt Tan took the banknotes and examined them carefully.

"It's real money, there's nothing different about it."

"Smell it again."

Tan's mother actually took a sniff.

"The banknotes are new, but they smell of sweat. That's all. What's wrong? Don't be so mysterious."

"Mom and Dad, it's getting late. I'm going upstairs now. You should get some rest too."

With that, Tan Yan went upstairs.

"Old Tan, what's wrong with our daughter?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Yan'er is already 40 years old, don't interfere with her freedom."

"I didn't interfere, it's just that she doesn't seem to have a boyfriend. What are we going to do? In a few years, she won't be able to have children anymore, and our Tan family line will end. Aren't you worried?"

Tan Yan went to the study, turned on the computer, and checked the stock markets in the United States and Europe.

More than half an hour later,

Old Tan pushed his wheelchair from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor via the elevator.

Arriving at the door of the study,

"Two loud bangs!"

"dad!"

Old Tan pushed the wheelchair inside and closed the door.

"Yan'er, it's almost 10 o'clock. Stop looking at the computer and go to bed early."

"Dad, did you want to talk to me?"

"Yan'er, are you having some trouble? Tell Dad, and I'll help you analyze it."

Tan Yan seemed a little embarrassed.

"Dad, I met a strange boy."

"Oh, tell me, what's so strange about it?"

"I was on a business trip a couple of days ago, staying in a hotel. For some reason, I couldn't sleep and woke up very early, so I headed back to Shenzhen ahead of schedule. On the way, my tire suddenly went flat..."

Then Tan Yan began to tell her story about Ding Yang, explaining everything in detail.

"Dad, I really didn't expect him to put 3000 yuan in the storage box. I really don't understand. That's all his savings. His old motorcycle belongs to the landlord. He lives in a tin shack, which is like a hot boiler."

"He carries cement and sand every day, yet he gave me 3000 yuan. What kind of magnanimity does he have to do something like that?"

Old Tan laughed.

"Dad, why are you smiling?"

Old Tan said, "Yan'er, isn't this young man very handsome and tall?"

"Yeah, he's about 1.85 meters tall, with a straight posture, like a model. He has a high nose bridge and looks like a celebrity. He doesn't look like a laborer at all."

"That's right."

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"Yan'er, the fact that you're going to Chang'an to invite him to dinner tonight says something. It means you want to date him."

"No, we just exchanged a few text messages."

"Yan'er, judging people by their appearance has been a topic that can't be avoided from ancient times to the present. This is because people are visual creatures. If he weren't a handsome guy, would you talk to him? You probably wouldn't even give him the chance to help you find a backup option."

"Everyone loves beauty. Heroes love beautiful women, and beautiful women love handsome men. This is normal, and Dad understands."

Tan Yan felt a little embarrassed.

"Yan'er, did he ask you what you do for a living?"

"I told him that I work as a nanny and housekeeper in a wealthy family, and also as a part-time driver."

"Then he asked me some basic questions. I told him that I was in a wheelchair and that my brother had passed away. He probably felt sorry for me and was afraid that I wouldn't accept it, so he secretly put the money in the armrest box. Later, he sent me a text message, afraid that I would forget to take it."

Old Tan smiled and shook his head.

"Yan'er, you've probably met a master."

"What do you mean?"

"Yan'er, this young man has sharp eyes. He doesn't believe you're a nanny at all. You drive a luxury car and wear luxury brands, it's too conspicuous."

"Dad, rich people's nannies might also be well-dressed, and the car belongs to the boss, right?"

"Yan'er, you can fake other things, but you can't change your temperament. This young man can tell you're not a nanny just by looking at your temperament."

"You've been eating and chatting with him for so long. As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. As you slowly communicate with him, some subtle details will gradually reveal that you're not a nanny."

Tan Yan nodded.

"Perhaps you're right, but what does that have to do with him giving me money?"

"It's very significant. He's playing the long game, his goal is to move you. The fact that you're so conflicted now just proves he's achieved his goal. That's what makes him a master, isn't it?"

"Dad, after listening to your analysis, I think that's probably the case. It seems this kid is no ordinary person."

"Yan'er, how old are you, young man? What's your educational background?"

"Oh, he's 24 years old, graduated from vocational high school. He said he wanted to go to junior college, but something unexpected happened and he couldn't go."

"He had only been in Dongguan for a few months. He first worked as a QC in an electronics factory in Fenggang. After working there for more than a month, he felt there was no future in it, so he came to Chang'an. He rented a small tin house and sold cement and sand, or delivered goods upstairs. In fact, he was just doing manual labor."

"But he's quite ambitious. He said he's not afraid of hardship, and even said that Huawei and Midea started from small workshops, didn't they?"

Who else is in his family?

"He told me that his father died when he was 5 years old, and his mother left him with his grandparents and left. Anyway, I never saw her again. I guess she remarried. He was raised by his grandparents. This should be true. He didn't lie to me."

"So, he's a child with a tragic fate, practically an orphan."

"Hmm, but this kid doesn't have that kind of inferiority complex. He quotes a lot of classical texts, is glib, and has a thick skin. He even says he's a virgin. He's just like a scoundrel."

"Yan'er, tell Dad, do you like this boy?"

Tan Yan blushed slightly.

"Dad, the age gap is too big, it's not a good idea."

"Yan'er, since you know he's unreliable, why haven't you found someone reliable all these years? Why drag yourself out until this age?"

"Dad, Gao Wei has only been gone for a few months. I can't possibly go looking for another man while he's still alive, can I?"
