"Where can I find someone suitable?" Song Ruyi asked with a smile.
She had considered all options. She did not want to let someone else suffer, nor did she want to let Wanwan suffer. The best way was for her and Wanwan to live on their own.
Song Ruyi had grown up with her mother all this while. With the additional care of her extended family, Wanwan did not need a father figure.
The little girl and her mother relied on each other, and Song Ruyi felt very happy with that arrangement.
She believed that as long as she gave all her love to Wanwan and did her best to provide her with what her peers had, she should be able to make up for her need for a father.
Moreover, since it was impossible to get Wanwan's biological father to come back, why would she need to find another man who did not have any prior feelings for them?
"What about Wanwan's biological father? Sis, I didn't ask you about this before, but it doesn't mean that I don't care about you. At that time, Second Aunt was sick and passed on. You were pregnant, and your life was so difficult. I didn't want to bring up sad memories."
Chen Jing and the Zhao family had never asked about Wanwan's father because they did not want to make things worse for Song Ruyi at that time.
At that time, their family did not really agree with Song Ruyi's decision to give birth to Wanwan. Nonetheless, at that time, she had lost the only person she could rely on in her life. If she did not have a child to rely on, they were really worried she would not be able to endure that period of time.
Later on, the child was born, and Song Ruyi had a sense of purpose in life. The two years passed by for better or for worse, and Chen Jing took on the responsibility of caring about Song Ruyi's private life.
The reason she was given such a huge responsibility was that the two sisters had been close since they were young and could get along well.
"He's dead. He won't come back." At this moment, Song Ruyi did not think that there was any possibility of continuing the relationship between her and Lu Jingnan.
There was no foundation for their relationship. Furthermore, their family backgrounds were too different. A marriage between two drastically different families would not be a happy one.
Real life was not like one in a novel. How could there be so many fairy tales about Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family?
Putting all this aside, when Song Ruyi and Lu Jingnan were together, their statues were different. There would be a lot of inequality between them. She did not need such an unequal marriage.
Song Ruyi's parents were in an unequal marriage. From her grandmother's view, her father had a degree, culture, identity, and background. Her mother, on the other hand, had nothing and only loved her father.
Her grandmother had looked down on her mother. After the romance had ended, her father started to look down on her mother as well. It was inevitable that such a marriage would end.
Chen Jing. "..."
'He's really dead.'
She had guessed this but did not think that it was real.
This turned out to be a sad memory for Song Ruyi indeed.
It was better if Chen Jing did not mention it.
Chen Jing did not plan to continue adding salt to Song Ruyi's wound, so she did not ask for more details.
In the future, they would put in more love and care for Song Ruyi and Wanwan.
When they reached the restaurant, Zhao Yufeng did not see her husband, so she called An Hongming and asked him where he was.
An Hongming was in another private room at the moment. He had just finished ordering. When he came out, he happened to see Lu Jingnan having a meal with a few other big shots in the real estate industry of Jing City.
He was not shy, so he went up to greet Lu Jingnan and specifically mentioned that he still owed Lu Jingnan a meal. In front of those big shots, he wanted to have a meal with Lu Jingnan.
An Hongming did not have a good impression of those big shots. They were dishonest and unorthodox, and they did everything they could. They were much wealthier than An Hongming, but he did not think much of their personalities.
What he, An Hongming, had was much more valuable than theirs.
He had always firmly believed that people who did things in a humble manner would eventually be rewarded. As for dishonest and unorthodox people, what they had would not last forever.
Lu Jingnan actually did not want to meet these people for a meal. It was just that he was too bored in the Bai Residence, so he came out to have fun.
In the end, he bumped into An Hongming. He let An Hongming come in and have a drink with them.
An Hongming showed him face and agreed. He said that he would only have a drink with Lu Jingnan because his wife's family was having a gathering today. He was the big brother-in-law, so he had to go back to accompany them.
Lu Jingnan knew An Hongming was a man who doted on his wife and valued his family. His impression of An Hongming increased a lot.
An Hongming received a call from Zhao Yufeng and replied, "I'll be there right away."
He hung up and bid Lu Jingnan farewell. As for the others, he did not intend to maintain basic courtesy.
Especially since these people had a good relationship with Song Wenli. Song Wenli was also present.
When Song Wenli and his wife were still married, he could be considered a scholar. Later on, he married a mistress, whose family was in the business industry. After the marriage, he took over the business of the mistress' family. At first, he was the owner of a construction materials company, but now, he was also a big shot in real estate. Needless to say, he made a lot of money.
The days of the Song family were getting better. It was just that Song Wenli was too heartless. His ex-wife had passed away, but he did not attend her funeral and did not say anything.
It was one thing for Song Wenli to be cruel to his wife, but he also did not care about his daughter.
Such a bastard was not even fit to be called a person. How could he be fit to be a father?
Ruyi did not treat this b*stard as a father. His uncle-in-law supported her in doing the right thing.
"President Lu, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you in private," An Hongming said to Lu Jingnan.
Lu Jingnan did not refuse. He asked Tang Shan to stay and take care of the table while he went out with An Hongming.
"President Lu, it's not that I'm being a scoundrel. The people you met today are rich, but they aren't good people. Especially Song Wenli. He doesn't deserve to even be called a person. You should be careful. Don't be tricked by them. This is my advice."
An Hongming was very sincere.
Lu Jingnan nodded. "Thank you for your advice, President An."
An Hongming knew that Lu Jingnan might not believe him. After all, Lu Jingnan did not know him very well.
'Forget it. Time will tell,' An Hongming thought. He believed that Lu Jingnan would know who was a human and who would turn into a monster in the future.
"Then I..."
"Granduncle." Song Wanwan was in Zhao Jiayuan's arms. When she saw An Hongming, she shouted happily. She was very energetic.
Zhao Jiayuan also saw An Hongming. He quickened his pace and walked over. "Brother-in-law."
"Ah…" An Hongming responded.
Song Wanwan reached out to let An Hongming hug her. An Hongming carried her. Then, Song Wanwan saw Lu Jingnan. She widened her eyes and called out to Lu Jingnan, "Uncle Debt Collector, you're here too? Do you know my granduncle?"
An Hongming was dumbfounded, and so was Lu Jingnan.
