Chapter 313: Chapter 313: The Lonely Elderly

In the following days, Jiaren Corporation quickly got back on track.

Driven by the professional managerial team and the stimulus of salary increases, the entire company’s work atmosphere reached an unprecedented high.

White Jade Frost’s new product development also began, and Han Jingting had already gradually adapted to her role as both the chairwoman and president.

Everyone’s focus was entirely placed on the new product, White Jade Frost.

One day, Chen Xuan received a call from Han Jingting and went to the president’s office.

"Mr. Chen!"

As he entered, he happened to run into Yang Shan.

Yang Shan had once again become Han Jingting’s assistant.

Chen Xuan nodded in acknowledgment and went straight into the office.

"Jingting, did you call me for something?"

Han Jingting hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I wanted to discuss with you about visiting my parents at noon."

"I know this might make you uncomfortable, and I also know that sometimes they really can be too much, but after all, they are my parents, so..."

Chen Xuan naturally understood what Han Jingting meant, he hesitated for a moment and felt it was time to tell the truth.

"Jingting, there’s something I haven’t told you."

"What is it?"

"Actually, your parents no longer live in Fenghua Residential Area..."

Han Jingting was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Chen Xuan then told her about how Ding Lijuan and her house were taken by Meng Jinzhou to settle a debt.

After hearing Chen Xuan’s story, Han Jingting stood there stunned.

Chen Xuan was somewhat worried and explained, "Jingting, I just think that sometimes your parents really need to change the way they handle things."

"I also wanted to use this opportunity to let them learn from their mistakes and see who truly cares for them."

"You won’t blame me for telling you only now, right? Actually, I really..."

The relationship between the two had only recently started to warm up, and Chen Xuan was anxious about the possibility of a new rift emerging because of this revelation, so he hurried to explain clearly.

However, before Chen Xuan could say more, Han Jingting cut him off, "You did nothing wrong!"

"Ah?" Chen Xuan was momentarily taken aback, also a bit surprised.

He had thought that Han Jingting would blame him, but instead, she was unexpectedly understanding.

In fact, Han Jingting could empathize with Chen Xuan’s decision because of the previous incidents.

Her mother’s favoritism was indeed unreasonable.

No matter what she did, it was wrong, while whatever Ding Liang did was right, even to the point where her daughter had to suffer for it; Han Jingting could hardly stand it.

Han Jingting knew that with her own heart, she couldn’t bear to ignore her parents when they were homeless.

It was precisely because Chen Xuan knew this that he hadn’t told her right away.

Chen Xuan was actually helping her!

"Do you know where they are now? I want to see how they are doing."

Chen Xuan paused, then quickly nodded, "Alright, I’ll take you to them now!"

During this time, Chen Xuan didn’t meddle in Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen’s life, but he always had someone follow them discreetly.

They were, after all, Han Jingting’s parents, and if something really went wrong, Chen Xuan would also feel guilty.

Half an hour later, Chen Xuan took Han Jingting to a commercial plaza.

From a distance, they saw two figures begging, it was Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen!

These past few days, the living conditions of Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen had completely deteriorated into hardship.

The restaurants where they used to freeload had blacklisted them, and they could no longer sneak into other people’s wedding banquets for free food and drinks.

The business of stopping cars for money was also something they could no longer do; they had tried to stop cars for an entire day, not only did they get little money, but they were also beaten three times.

Having no other choice, Ding Lijuan could only think of begging in a pitiful state.

At this moment, Han Bowwen was seen lying on the ground, with his legs tucked into his pants, leaving two empty trouser legs. At first glance, others could really take him for a disabled person.

Ding Lijuan was even more ruthless, directly kneeling on the ground and crying non-stop.

"My husband got hit by a car while trying to save someone and we had no money to pay for the medical expenses, so he had to have a limb amputated!"

"I’m also suffering from a terminal illness and won’t live much longer!"

"All I hope for, before I die, is to help my husband gather some living expenses, so he won’t starve to death!"

"Kind-hearted people passing by, please pity us, this couple of lonely elderly, and give us some money."

"That way, when I die, I can also rest in peace! Wuu wuu wuu..."

As Ding Lijuan shouted, tears streamed out like water from a spring.

It must be said, Ding Lijuan’s acting skills were unquestionable; the crowd in the square believed her pitiful appearance to be real and started throwing money into the broken jar in front of her continuously.

"Thank you, all you kind-hearted people!"

"May you live a hundred years and everything goes your way!"

Ding Lijuan, seeing the money piling up before her, said auspicious words with glee.

From a distance, Han Jingting saw this scene, felt a pang of sorrow, and tears immediately flowed out.

As a daughter, how could she bear to see her parents fall to such a state!

Han Jingting did not stay any longer; she quickly got out of the car and ran all the way to Ding Lijuan.

"Kind-hearted person, please, give some money!"

Ding Lijuan didn’t even look, directly bowing to Han Jingting.

But after waiting for a long time, she saw no money given.

The next moment, when Ding Lijuan looked up and saw it was Han Jingting, her face immediately changed.

"What are you doing here? Did you come specifically to laugh at us?"

Without saying another word, Ding Lijuan began to berate Han Jingting.

"I..."

Before Han Jingting could say anything, Han Bowwen, who was lying on the ground pretending to be disabled, saw Han Jingting and, overwhelmed with excitement, stood up straight away.

"Jingting! You’re here!" Han Bowwen cried out in excitement.

However, Han Bowwen standing up completely gave the game away.

A passerby ready to give money exclaimed in shock, "So you are not disabled?!"

"Didn’t you say you were a couple of lonely elderly, how come you have a daughter?"

"Scammers! You’re scammers!"

The kind people who realized they had been deceived were instantly enraged.

They had been moved to tears by the apparent plight of this poor couple, only to find out they were frauds!

This was an insult to them!

"Scammers, return the money!"

"Return the money!"

The kind-hearted people, furious, rushed forward to take back the money from the jar.

"Don’t snatch it, it’s our money! Please, I beg you!"

Seeing the money they had so difficultly begged for being snatched back, Ding Lijuan was so anxious tears almost burst forth.

When the crowd dispersed, only a few scattered coins were left in the jar in front of Ding Lijuan.

Seeing the money she had so painstakingly earned vanish into thin air, Ding Lijuan was furious.

"You dead girl, what did you come for if not to make things worse, what else can you do!"

As she spoke, Ding Lijuan suddenly pushed, sending Han Jingting flying backwards with great force.
