“He chose himself.”
Zhang Chongcao laughed heartily, no need to guess, she already knew what kind of person Gao Peng was.
When he was in her heart, everything about him seemed perfect.
She was fully aware of the man’s flaws, and yet she still liked him, willingly, not making him do anything, allowing him to live like a lord.
But when love was gone, that’s when she truly understood what selfishness meant.
Compared to Tang Zhijun, he was unworthy even to carry Tang Zhijun’s shoes.
“Yes,” Wang Zitan nodded, “that’s exactly it, he chose himself.”
“Does Sisi know about this?” Zhang Xiangcao asked Wang Zitan.
She had never intended to tell her daughter, but she was still uneasy about this matter when Wang Zitan had already handled it.
...
“She knows,” Wang Zitan didn’t keep Tang Sisi in the dark.
When Tang Yuxin told him about it that evening, he immediately conveyed it to Tang Sisi.
After all, this was about Tang Sisi’s biological father, and some matters required Tang Sisi to decide for herself.
To Tang Sisi, the thought of acknowledging that man as her father had never crossed her mind.
She claimed that her father was Tang Zhijun, she was Tang Zhijun’s daughter, and she didn’t recognize anyone named Gao Peng or Gao someone.
It was then that Wang Zitan took action against Gao Peng.
Of course, he showed some mercy for Tang Sisi’s sake, leaving Gao Peng with some assets.
As long as Gao Peng didn’t harbor any schemes against his wife and son, those assets would be enough to sustain him for a lifetime.
This was him being merciful.
If it weren’t for Tang Sisi’s connection, if he were to really take action, Gao Peng would have been in jail already, eating prison food for the rest of his life.
Could he even be out and breathing the air of freedom?
“Mom, don’t worry, it’s all settled.”
Wang Zitan consoled Zhang Xiangcao, “Everything has been taken care of.
Xiaobai and Sisi both puffed up their chubby little faces.
“Not round, not round...”
The two children said in unison, as if they knew that being called round meant being fat, and they were not fat at all; they were slim children—this is what their mother had said.
“You are...”
Zhang Xiangcao was startled by this man’s sudden familiarity, wondering why recently people were coming over to claim relations one after another?
“Auntie Zhang, don’t you recognize me?
I’m Chen Lidong.”
Chen Liteng pushed up his own glasses, disappointed that they hadn’t seen each other for just a few years, and she had already forgotten him, making him very sad.
“Lidong, you’re Chen Lidong?” Zhang Xiangcao reached out and pinched Chen Lidong’s cheek—it was indeed Sun Lidong’s, that boy from the Chen Family.
She had watched him grow up since he was little and remembered the year he started middle school, when he and his mother were warming themselves with a stove at home and both suffered carbon monoxide poisoning.
If it hadn’t been for Sisi going to find him, perhaps the mother and son wouldn’t be here today.
But he had changed so much—grown taller and bulkier, and of course, he was now wearing glasses, which was why she hadn’t recognized him at first.
However, it was definitely Chen Lidong, no doubt about it; no matter what, he was the half-grown boy she had watched grow up from childhood.
Back then, this boy had given all his New Year’s money to Sisi, nearly scaring her to death, as she thought Sisi had stolen it.
“Hehe...” Sun Lidong laughed, “Auntie, you’re still as young and beautiful as ever.”
Chen Lidong’s compliment made Zhang Xiangcao instinctively pinch his cheek again, “You’re still the same, always joking with your auntie.”
“Not at all, you really are young.”
Chen Lidong actually hadn’t recognized Zhang Xiangcao at first glance either, because she really did look quite young and seemingly hadn’t changed much, especially her figure, as slim as a young girl’s.
“By the way, auntie, whose children are these?”
Chen Lidong played with a chubby child, “These two are twins, right?
They look so alike.”
“These are Yuxin’s children,” Zhang Xiangcao now loved playing with children.
She didn’t compete with the Wang Family for her grandson; she couldn’t win against them.
Her godfather had such a precious little grandchild that he held him all day long, with no chance for her to step in.
