The next day at noon, after lunch, Xu Wanning went to the boutique.

She wanted to find Tingting to ask for clarification.

When she arrived, she found the boutique closed.

Helplessly, Xu Wanning had to ride her bicycle to the Uni-President Three-Wheeled Automobile Factory again.

When I arrived at the factory, I saw Lin Yaozong, who was making a three-wheeled vehicle with Lao Mao.

Seeing Xu Wanning coming, they put down their work and chatted with Xu Wanning.

After chatting for a while, Xu Wanning said, "Lao Mao, you go ahead and do your thing. I have something to discuss with Yaozong."

"Okay, I'll go there first."

Xu Wanning called Lin Yaozong aside. Before she could speak, she heard Lin Yaozong impatiently ask, "Sister, you are finally back! Have you seen Tang Ting these days? I can't contact her."

"Can't contact Tang Ting? What does that mean?"

Lin Yaozong's face was abnormally flushed. He coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, and then said, "Before you returned to Heilongjiang Province, didn't you bring Tang Ting to the factory? After that, she came to see me twice and made it clear that she had feelings for me and wanted to have a deep discussion with me. I also liked her very much, so after a few contacts, we decided to be in a romantic relationship."

"Everything was fine, but since the day before yesterday, I couldn't contact Tang Ting."

"She knows I'm busy at the factory, so she usually comes to see me in her free time. But the day before yesterday, I waited for her all day but she didn't show up. I went to the boutique in the afternoon, but it was closed. It was the same yesterday. She did leave me a phone number, which is her home number. I called yesterday afternoon, but was told it was a wrong number."

"Sister, haven't you and Tang Ting always had a good relationship? Please help me find out what happened to Tang Ting. Did something happen to her, or does she simply not want to continue with me? Even if she doesn't want to be with me anymore, she should tell me that she is safe. She can't just disappear without saying anything. I'm really worried!"

After listening to Lin Yaozong's words, Xu Wanning had actually roughly guessed what was going on.

When I met Tang Ting before, from her tone, I knew that her sister-in-law wanted her to be with her brother, and her mother had agreed to this.

Xu Wanning had also met the guy that Tang Ting was dating. To be honest, he looked pretty good at first glance, but in fact, he was not worthy of Tang Ting in any way.

So Xu Wanning gave her an idea. If she wanted to avoid that man, she had to find a new partner. Moreover, the new partner must be better than the one introduced to her by Sister-in-law Tang Ting. Whether in terms of family background or other aspects, the partner must be better than the other one. Only then will her parents agree.

So, after meeting Lin Yaozong once, Tang Ting became interested in him.

Lin Yaozong already has a stable job, and now he has founded the Tongyi Three-Wheeled Automobile Manufacturing Factory together with Lao Mao and Xu Wanning, and he himself is the factory director. He has a bright future ahead of him.

Lin Yaozong's parents, brothers and sisters are all capable people, and they are related to the Xu family. Their conditions are far better than those of the Tang family, not to mention the guy introduced to him by Tang Ting's sister-in-law.

Logically speaking, if Lin Yaozong was exposed, Tang's mother should not object anymore, but now it seems that the development of things seems to have deviated from her and Tang Ting's plan.

"I see. I'll try to contact Tang Ting now. I'll contact you when I have news."

After leaving the Uni-President Three-Wheeled Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, Xu Wanning rode her bicycle to the bookstore outside the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

When the house was being renovated, a room was specially reserved for Chen Qiaoqiao for her to live in.

As the year draws to a close, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is on holiday and the bookstore is not doing much business, so Chen Qiaoqiao has been staying in her room reading and has not gone out for several days.

When Xu Wanning pushed open Chen Qiaoqiao's bedroom door, she smelled a sense of stale air in the room.

The curtains were also drawn tightly. Although it was a rare sunny day outside in winter, Chen Qiaoqiao's room was very dim.

"Qiaoqiao?"

Xu Wanning called out softly, and soon heard Chen Qiaoqiao's response, "I'm here."

Xu Wanning turned on the light and noticed that Chen Qiaoqiao was locked in the bed, with the quilt wrapped tightly around her.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Wanning hurried forward, pulled open Chen Qiaoqiao's quilt, put her hand on his forehead and felt it. She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that the temperature was normal.

Just don't have a fever.

Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "I'm not feeling unwell, I just don't want to go out."

"Did something happen?" Xu Wanning moved a stool and sat beside the bed. Because the light in the room was too dim, she couldn't see Chen Qiaoqiao's expression clearly.

Chen Qiaoqiao slowly sat up from the bed. She hadn't combed her hair for several days and it was a mess.

"Wan Ning, I received a letter saying that my parents are sick and in the hospital. The situation is quite serious."

"Your parents? Didn't you guys already cut off ties?"

"Yeah." Chen Qiaoqiao said gloomily, "We did break up. They didn't know my current address, so they sent the letter directly to Huaqing University. A classmate gave it to me. In the letter, they said that since the incident with my brother and sister-in-law, their health has not been good, and they were hospitalized one after another in winter."

"But no one was willing to take care of them. The two of them supported each other in the hospital and had a very difficult time."

Xu Wanning looked at Chen Qiaoqiao and asked softly, "So? Are you heartbroken and want to go back to see them?"

Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head: "I always remember what they did to me, so I can't go back no matter what. I'm thinking, should I send some money back?"

She laughed at herself, "I know that we have severed our relationship and I shouldn't care about their affairs anymore. But whenever I think of my parents being sick and hospitalized, I can't be completely cruel. Anyway, I have some savings now. Although it's not much, it's enough for me to pay for their hospitalization."

"But before sending the money back, I contacted my high school classmate and asked her to help me check on my parents. Guess what? They are in great health. Even in the coldest winter, they didn't even have a cold or a runny nose. As for the hospitalization, it was completely false!"

"They had tricked me into coming back once before, using the excuse of hospitalization. Maybe they knew in their hearts that I would never come back after I had severed ties with them. So I guess their purpose was just to ask me for money."
