Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

It had been a long time since Zhong Yuhuan last saw Ding Qiuyue. Ding Qiuyue was never there at the Yuelan villa whenever she went there to visit Grandpa Ding. Later, when Zhong Yuhuan inherited the Zhongs business, and Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming each had their own developments, Ding Qiuyue probably remembered how she urged Zhong Yuhuan to send the two back to the orphanage, both candidly and secretly, and felt embarrassed. So, she rarely took the initiative to appear in front of Zhong Yuhuan.

Zhong Yuhuan didnt remember any enmity between them.

But when she did think of her, she would only think that Ding Qiuyue was a complete egoist.

She was always rushing towards benefits and competing with her younger sister in everything. However, when her family really needed her, she wouldnt pay any attention to them at all.

Zhong Yuhuan was aware of it and made sure to not be affected by her, but if it wasnt for Ding Qiuyues stubbornness back then, Lang Jinzhi wouldnt have become the person he was today, almost abnormally strict and harsh towards himself.

So, Zhong Yuhuan was a bit surprised when she suddenly received a call from Ding Qiuyue.

Is Huanhuan free? We havent had a meal together in a long time.

Zhong Yuhuan didnt want to have a meal with her, but she was worried about Lang Jinzhi.

Could it be something about cousin?

She knew that the mother-son relationship between Ding Qiuyue and Lang Jinzhi was distant and cold, so there was probably something that Ding Qiuyue couldnt tell Lang Jinzhi directly.

Okay, when and where are we meeting? Zhong Yuhuan responded.

Ding Qiuyue told her the time and address.

The next day, Huo Chengming went to the office as usual and Li Jinyuan continued to attend events and the like.

Zhong Yuhuan went to see Ding Qiuyue.

They were meeting at a Western-style restaurant. When Zhong Yuhuan arrived, Ding Qiuyue was already there.

Seeing Zhong Yuhuan walking closer, Ding Qiuyue surprisingly smiled at her.

After ordering, Zhong Yuhuan didnt bother with pleasantries and directly asked, Did Aunt call me over because you have something to say?

She wanted to get straight to the point but Ding Qiuyue didnt.

We havent met in so long, so we should have a meal together. Ever since your father passed away, I was afraid that youd be sad, but unfortunately, I couldnt leave my company, so I could only tell Jinzhi to look after you more. Later, when you inherited your fathers legacy, the company had countless things waiting for you. That year, I had just taken over your grandfathers business, so I was busy. Since we were in the same boat, I had a feeling that youd also be swamped with work, so I didnt dare disturb you.

Zhong Yuhuan almost laughed out loud.

Shes really capable, turning Lang Jinzhis care for her into an order she made in a few words.

Did Ding Qiuyue think that Zhong Yuhuan didnt have eyes and couldnt see the truth?

Just then, the waiter brought their food over. Zhong Yuhuan grabbed her knife and fork, lowering her head to cut the steak in front of her.

Ding Qiuyue saw that Zhong Yuhuan was becoming impatient, so she finally changed the subject. How has Mr. Huo been doing lately?

Zhong Yuhuan only realized that she was referring to Huo Chengming after a few seconds.

Thats new. Shes calling him Mr. Huo now

Fine, same as always, Zhong Yuhuan answered perfunctorily.

Ding Qiuyue didnt grab her utensils but instead took out a file from her bag, spreading it out in front of Zhong Yuhuan. What a coincidence. Recently, the Dings have a project that is in discussion with Mr. Huos company.

Zhong Yuhuans actions paused.

So this was why she wanted to meet.

Zhong Yuhuan frowned, not even bothering to perfunctorily eat the meal. She set down the knife and fork, lifting her head to ask, What do you want to say?

Although Im in charge of the Dings right now, after your grandpa leaves this world, the Dings will still have many shares and properties, which will all be split between you and Jinzhi. Im working for the interests of the Dings, but isnt it equal to work for the interests of both sides as well? In the end, were all family, so theres no need to act like two different parties Its hard to invite Mr. Huo, but Huanhuan, if you say something, itll definitely be easy to get him to agree.

Zhong Yuhuan lightly sneered. None of my business.
