"What did you say, Tingting was arrested?"
The woman who had met Wu Xia last time at Pingcheng Department Store grabbed the phone in her hand.
When she heard the news that her daughter was imprisoned in the Public Security Bureau, she said to the other end of the phone: "Qiming, please let someone take a closer look. Someone must have framed Tingting. Tingting has been so good and sensible since she was a child. How could she make a mistake?" .”
Putting down the phone, Yu Xiufen was anxious and at a loss. Tingting had never suffered any hardship since she was a child. This time, she was sent to the town to teach because of the tight quota of teachers in the city. She was asked to go to the town to make a transition first. How could she have expected that this would happen in the town? Something like this happened to my eyes.
Someone must have been watching!
If it was recorded in the file, Tingting's life would be over.
Yu Xiufen thought about it and picked up the phone again. After pressing a few numbers, she said to the person on the phone: "Qiming, I thought about it and you are looking for someone here. I will take the car to the town early tomorrow morning. Tingting herself She must be scared in the public security bureau. As a mother, I have to support her. When the boss and the second child come back, I will ask them to come to town to take Tingting home."
Bai Qiming and Yu Xiufen are Bai Tingting's adoptive parents. Since her biological daughter was taken away, Yu Xiufen cried all day long, so Bai Qiming adopted a girl from the countryside to comfort his wife's longing for her daughter.
This girl is very sensible and very popular with her wife, so over the years, they have regarded Bai Tingting as their biological daughter, and the whole family dotes on her very much.
Late at night, Yu Xiufen tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep because she was afraid that her daughter would suffer. At this time, Editor Ding and Wu Xia finally arrived in Pingcheng.
When the two entered the newspaper office, Ding Wenmin asked: "Wu Xia, are you hungry? Let me find you something to eat? We always have biscuits in the office. Once we work overtime, everyone will use this to deal with one bite."
Wu Xia touched her belly and then looked at Mengmeng who was already asleep on her shoulder. She whispered to Ding Wenmin: "Great, I happen to be hungry. Editor Ding, you are really my timely help."
Ding Wenmin pushed up his glasses and looked at her seriously, and said meaningfully: "Wu Xia, if you are willing, I can be your lifelong support."
Wu Xia did not understand the meaning of Ding Wenmin's words, thinking that he wanted to be his editor for the rest of his life. He said with a smile: "It's great to have Editor Ding as my guide. I will definitely be able to publish more in the future." work."
Ding Wenmin saw that she stupidly didn't understand what he said, so he smiled and shook his head. But this time, he didn't intend to give up the opportunity. Since Wu Xia didn't understand what he meant, he made it clear.
"Wu Xia, I not only want to be your editor for the rest of my life, but I also want to be by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life. Anyway, you and Xu Guoping are divorced, why not consider me?"
He looked at Wu Xia seriously, and his voice was soft but very sincere: "Wu Xia, please give me a chance, I will treat you well."
Listening to Editor Ding's words, Wu Xia was stunned.
She has always regarded Editor Ding as both a mentor and a friend, but she didn't expect that Editor Ding would actually like her?
When it comes to marriage partners, Editor Ding is indeed very good. He is gentle and considerate, and has something in common with her. Unfortunately, she does not have that feeling for Editor Ding. She cannot selfishly tie him to her just because Editor Ding treats her well.
Now that Editor Ding has spoken, Wu Xia plans to make it clear today.
After thinking for a few seconds, Wu Xia looked into Ding Wenmin's eyes and said, "Editor Ding, I don't want to think about personal issues right now. I can't delay you. That would be too selfish..."
Before Wu Xia finished speaking, Ding Wenmin interrupted her.
He laughed, still looking gentle: "Wu Xia, I'm joking with you. Don't take it seriously. During this period, you can live here peacefully without any mental burden."
Wu Xia stared at him quietly, her eyes full of gratitude. She was grateful for diverting the topic in this way, otherwise she would not be embarrassed to stay here anymore after rejecting Editor Ding.
Without this place to live, she didn't know where to go.
Seeing Wu Xia's relieved look, Ding Wenmin felt a bit bitter in his mouth.
This was the first time that he had been attracted to a girl, but he didn't know that Wu Xia would reject him just after he confided his feelings to her.
When he saw that Wu Xia was silent, he said again: "Wu Xia, we will be good friends from now on. You eat some biscuits to cushion your stomach first, and I will go and clean up a place for you to live."
After saying that, Editor Ding walked towards his desk, with a warm smile still on his face. Wu Xia's eyes suddenly felt moist for some reason.
Ding Wenmin turned around and opened the drawer of his desk to get biscuits for Wu Xia. He couldn't push too hard. It was progress from the relationship between editor and author to that of friends today.
He comforted himself in his heart, pretending not to care on the surface, and handed the biscuit to Wu Xia.
Wu Xia held Mengmeng with one hand, took Ding Wenmin's biscuits with the other hand and started eating.
As a result, when changing hands, Mengmeng woke up and saw her mother holding cookies in her hand, and Mengmeng also shouted to eat.
Ding Wenmin smiled and took out a few more biscuits for her. Mengmeng said obediently: "Thank you, uncle. When dad comes to pick me up, I will ask dad to thank uncle."
Looking at the appearance of the cute little lady, Ding Wenmin couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder you like Mengmeng, she is really cute. Mengmeng, can you be your uncle's goddaughter?"
Mengmeng shook her head like a rattle: "No, Mengmeng only acts as a daughter to her father."
She grabbed Wu Xia's arm and shrank into her arms: "Mom, Mengmeng is sleepy, please take me to sleep."
Ding Wenmin had already packed up the reference room. Hearing Mengmeng say that he was sleepy, he said to Wu Xia, "Come and see the dormitory I prepared for you."
Wu Xia carried Mengmeng and walked to the reference room. The reference room was at the end of the corridor, not far from the toilet. It was convenient for the two of them to wash up.
Opening the door, there was a camp bed and several rows of empty shelves.
Ding Wenmin said: "I didn't expect Mengmeng to come with me. You guys just make do with it tonight. I'll get a bed tomorrow."
Wu Xia looked at it and said, "Editor Ding, don't go to such trouble. I'll spread the cotton-padded jacket on the shelf so Mengmeng can sleep there. I'll move the bed next to her and it'll be the same as a double bed."
"Okay, I'll take you to report tomorrow morning. Get some rest early." Editor Ding saw Mengmeng sleepily closing her eyelids, nodded to Wu Xia and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he took out a box from his arms.
"By the way, this is a gift for you to celebrate your joining."
After Ding Wenmin left, Wu Xia opened the box and saw a beautiful pen in the box.
"It's so beautiful!" The shiny black paint surface and gold-plated pen tip make it look very delicate at first glance.
In this era, what most literati like most is a good fountain pen. Ding Wenmin's gift was delivered directly to Wu Xia's heart, making her unable to refuse it.
