Wen Fufu stayed in the hospital for three days before she impatiently packed her things and went home. Xiao Zhengshan was the one who came to pick them up.
When they passed the village entrance on their way back to Taohua Village, Old Liu quickly called out to Wen Fufu. While teasing the little baby in her arms, he handed her an envelope.
“Little Fu, congratulations! You gave birth to a big, healthy baby. This is your envelope. I’ll just hand it directly to you.”
Wen Fufu took the envelope and thanked Old Liu. The hand holding the envelope unconsciously tightened around it.
A woman’s body was usually very weak after giving birth. After Shen Xiulan and Xiao Zhengshan escorted her home, they told Wen Fufu to rest well. They said they would bring flowers for her tonight, and they also warned Xiao Tingting not to go over and disturb her.
Although Xiao Tingting did not want to listen, she still obeyed Shen Xiulan’s words. After taking one glance at the baby, she followed her parents home.
After returning to her room, Wen Fufu placed her son on the bed and carefully tucked the blanket around him. Only then did she pick up the envelope she had brought back from the village entrance and open it.
Without a doubt, it was another check for five million.
From the early stage of her pregnancy until now, she had received a check every month. Adding the money he had given before, she had already become a multi-millionaire without even working.
Sigh… what exactly did Song Jingting want to do?
She did not dare ask him. After that phone call, she had not dared to call him again. She had kept quiet the whole time like a timid quail.
Wen Fufu skillfully locked the check inside a drawer. This drawer was specially used to store checks. Suddenly having such a huge amount of money made her constantly worry that someone might discover it.
Having so much money all of a sudden wasn’t necessarily a good thing either.
At B City Airport.
Song Jingting walked out of the exit alone. Li Ziqing had already been waiting for a long time. The moment he saw the president come out, he hurried forward to greet him.
He hadn’t expected that this trip to America would take the president so long.
Originally, he thought that after telling the president about that matter, the president would rush back to the country immediately. But the president had only responded with three words about that matter—
“I know.”
So what exactly did the president mean?
Song Jingting handed his luggage to his assistant and said, “What are you thinking about?”
Li Ziqing quickly replied with a flattering smile, “Nothing, President. Are you going straight back to the villa later?”
“Go to Taohua Village.”
“Alright, President. Ah? Go… go to Taohua Village?”
“Yes.”
Li Ziqing stood there in shock.
The Taohua Village the president mentioned… was it really the same Taohua Village he knew?
Li Ziqing had planned to follow the president into the car, but the president stopped him.
“You stay at the company. Let Wu Gang go with me.”
And just like that, Li Ziqing stood there, biting a handkerchief tearfully as he watched the car drive out of the airport.
He had thought that after finally waiting for the president to return, he would have time to go on a date. Who knew the president would still be just as cold and ruthless as ever.
“Sir, may I ask how to get to Taohua Village?”
Wu Gang asked an elderly man who was selling medicinal herbs.
Wu Gang had already been traveling for an entire day. His mind felt dizzy, stars floated before his eyes, and his stomach was growling with hunger. Finally, before night fell, he reached Taohua County.
This place was really small, and the address was extremely remote. After the navigation system led him into Taohua County, it couldn’t locate Taohua Village at all. So he got out of the car and hurriedly asked a passerby, partly to clear his head.
“Young man, you look unfamiliar. You’re from outside, aren’t you?”
The old man carefully examined him with his dark, aged face. Wu Gang was wearing a black suit and carried an imposing aura.
“Yes, sir,” Wu Gang replied.
“Well then, go straight along that road ahead. After you pass through a peach orchard, you’ll arrive.”
The old man pointed forward.
Wu Gang looked in the direction the old man indicated. Not far ahead, a lush peach orchard swayed gently in the wind. The air was filled with the fragrance of fruit.
Wu Gang took a deep breath. The fatigue covering his body instantly disappeared.
Although Taohua County was remote, its scenery was surprisingly beautiful.
“Thank you, sir.”
Wu Gang thanked the old man and left him a small gift.
The old man picked up the five hundred yuan Wu Gang had just thrown down and watched as he got into a black sedan and drove away.
Could it be that some big shot had arrived?
While driving, Wu Gang respectfully spoke to the person sitting in the back seat.
“Young Master, once we pass through the forest ahead, we’ll reach Taohua Village.”
Song Jingting rested his chin on his hand and looked out the window.
“Mm.”
Wu Gang did not dare say more or ask questions.
He remembered how the Young Master had called him yesterday and told him to drive to a place he had never even heard of before—Taohua County. It was the first time he had seen impatience on the Young Master’s face.
He wondered whether there was something extremely important in Taohua Village.
The car passed through the peach orchard, wound through several narrow roads, and finally reached the village entrance.
“Young Master, we’ve arrived at Taohua Village.”
Wu Gang spoke to the person in the back seat.
The Young Master had only told him to come to Taohua Village. He hadn’t said what they would do after arriving.
“Go down and ask the villagers where Miss Wen lives,” Song Jingting said from the back seat.
Miss Wen…
Wu Gang’s eyes widened.
The Young Master had come here to find someone?
And it was a woman?
Wu Gang did not dare say anything further. Whatever the Young Master told him to do, he would simply do it.
Coincidentally, an elderly man wearing a straw hat and driving a water buffalo slowly walked toward them. At a glance, he was clearly a villager. Asking him would probably lead them to the Miss Wen the Young Master mentioned.
When the old man approached, Wu Gang stepped forward with a smile.
“Sir, may I ask if you know where Miss Wen’s house is?”
The old man stopped walking.
“You’re from outside the village?”
The car behind them, and the neatly dressed man standing before him, clearly weren’t from the village.
“Yes. We came from B City to find someone, but we don’t know where she lives. So we wanted to ask if you might know.”
Wu Gang explained their purpose.
“Are you looking for someone from Third Uncle Wen’s family?” the old man asked.
Wu Gang paused.
Third Uncle Wen sounded like a man, but the Young Master was looking for a woman.
“Not Third Uncle Wen. It’s Miss Wen. A woman,” Wu Gang explained again.
“There’s only one family in our village with the surname Wen,” the old man said.
What was wrong with this young man? Who could possibly know the villagers better than him?
Wu Gang scratched his head.
If there was only one Wen family, perhaps Miss Wen was a younger member of Third Uncle Wen’s household.
“Sir, then where is Third Uncle Wen’s house?”
The old man pointed toward the houses on the right.
“That one. The house next to the white Western-style building.”
Now that Wu Gang knew the location, he thanked the old man. Just like with the herb seller earlier, he tried to give him the same reward.
But the old man waved his hand and refused it. He led his water buffalo away.
The buffalo was chewing green grass. By the time it followed its owner forward, a steaming pile of dung had already been left on the ground.
Wu Gang covered his nose and carefully walked around the pile before getting back into the car.
The people here were really… refreshingly unique.
Even their cow was the same.
Wu Gang drove the car to a courtyard house with gray brick walls and green tiles. A large cluster of trumpet creepers climbed over the wall from inside the courtyard, blooming brightly and decorating the house.
The whole place gave off a beautiful, rustic, and refreshing feeling.
The owner of this courtyard clearly knew how to enjoy life, Wu Gang thought silently.
“Young Master, this is the place.”
Wu Gang turned his head and spoke to the man sitting in the back seat.
