After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 547 - 360: _3
Chapter 547: Chapter 360: _3
--
Jinjin’s father came home that evening.
Seeing the items piled up in the house and Jinjin’s rejuvenation, he suddenly had an idea, "Jinjin, there is hope for the debt we owe."
Jinjin actually understood everything, "Dad, what do you need me to do?"
Jinjin’s father spoke to Jinjin with patience, explaining in detail.
The next day, Jinjin came early to find Tangtang.
Tang Xi had someone prepare breakfast for Jinjin, who, unlike usual, bowed her head and did not start eating.
"Jinjin, why aren’t you eating? Is something wrong?" Tangtang asked with concern.
Tang Xi also noticed something was off with Jinjin.
Fu Tingzhou handed her a peeled egg along with a cup of warm milk.
Tang Xi gave Tangtang a look, and Tangtang took Jinjin outside.
"I thought you would care about her."
"Isn’t it better for children to talk to each other? And she and Tangtang are friends." Tangtang negotiating with Jinjin would better understand the problem.
Moreover, this was Tangtang’s friend, and she believed Tangtang could handle all this well.
Fu Tingzhou understood, and he asked, "How about we have crabs for lunch today, freshly caught from the sea?"
"I want something spicy."
She had been eating bland food for quite a while and really couldn’t stomach it anymore.
Without a second thought, Fu Tingzhou dismissed her idea, "Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, eating spicy food will affect your wound."
Tang Xi was helpless, "I can’t possibly have to eat bland food for a year, can I?"
"It won’t come to that, we’ll see how it goes once you get a little better," he replied.
With that, Fu Tingzhou gestured for Tang Xi to hurry up and eat breakfast.
Tang Xi nodded in agreement.
Today she didn’t see carnations by her bed.
These past days in North City, Fu Tingzhou had always placed carnations by the bed. Not seeing them today felt a bit unsettling.
Little did she know, Fu Tingzhou actually understood her little thoughts, "I changed them to roses, but the cargo ship hasn’t arrived today."
Tang Xi was immediately embarrassed.
The Fu Tingzhou of today was so understanding of people’s thoughts!
If he had realized this sooner, they could have been happy together much earlier.
Tang Xi didn’t talk to him any further.
Meanwhile, Tangtang and Jinjin were talking, and Jinjin cried as she revealed the truth to Tangtang, "My dad beat me. He said now that I’ve become friends with you, I will leave here and just like my mother, I will leave this place forever and abandon him... Tangtang, I want to go to school just like you, to have teachers, friends, I want to see the outside world, I want to eat my fill, I want to have money... I want... to find my mom..."
By the end, Jinjin grew more and more upset.
Tangtang felt very uncomfortable inside. She attended the best royal kindergarten in North City, where the kids all LED very privileged lives; the worst problems there were divorce or being overweight.
She had never heard of anyone as unfortunate as Jinjin.
Jinjin was always cautious and afraid, unlike the friends at kindergarten when she was with her.
Now that Jinjin mentioned her father hit her, Tangtang took her hand, "That’s not okay! I’m going to tell my daddy and mommy and have them help you..."
As she spoke, Tangtang was about to turn around but Jinjin stopped her, "Don’t go. My dad is just too upset, and I can’t bear to leave him. Tangtang, I know you’ll leave here, but I’m happy we became friends. Tangtang, after you’ve left, you must come back to visit me often, don’t forget me."
Tangtang nodded, "Jinjin, I will definitely not forget you. I’ll come back and visit you when I’m not at school."
Mommy said that they would leave this place sooner or later.
Seeing Tangtang agree, Jinjin slowly said, "Tangtang, I won’t stay for breakfast. I have a gift for you, it’s the best thing I have..."
With those words, Jinjin started to reach into her pocket.
Suddenly, Jinjin’s expression changed, "Tangtang, I left in such a hurry, I forgot to bring the gift, wait for me, I’ll go back and get it for you."
With that, Jinjin was about to run back.
Tangtang stopped her, "Didn’t you say your dad hit you? If you go back and your dad hits you again..."
Jinjin smiled and said, "It’s okay, as long as I take the gift out, that’s fine."
"But you might still get beaten by your dad," Tangtang worriedly said, not reassured about letting Jinjin go back alone.
Jinjin looked at Tangtang, "Why don’t you come back with me?"
Tangtang thought for a moment, "Then I’ll call the bodyguard uncle."
Jinjin held onto Tangtang, "No need, if you call the bodyguard uncle, I’m afraid my dad will beat me even worse. Let’s go there and back quickly; if my dad sees you, he definitely won’t hit me again."
