This was a high-end shopping center. Zhong Guangping supported his wife, Zheng Lin, and consoled her gently. “Look at you! You should come out more often. Don’t always stay cooped up at home. You’re in good health, but if you stay cooped up at home for too long, you will develop problems. Look at all the things here. What do you fancy? We’ll buy some.”

Zheng Lin was around 30 years old and was an outstanding beauty with an air of elegance. But at the moment, she was looking poorly, and her expression was depressed.

She smiled and said to her husband. “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. I’m used to staying at home and don’t feel like going out.”

Zhong Guangping sighed inwardly. “How can you stay cooped up at home? Things are developing rapidly out here. They change almost daily. There are fewer restrictions in society. If you have the time, you should come out and look around, and it will improve your mood.”

Zheng Lin’s eyes reddened. “We still haven’t found Yuan Yuan. How can my mood improve?”

Zhong Guangping’s heart ached. His daughter had been missing for four years. He was also very grieved.

“Lin Lin, if you don’t take good care of yourself, how will you take care of Yuan Yuan when she comes back? She has been away from us for so many years. When she comes back, she will certainly miss us terribly and will need our care and concern. If you continue like this day after day, how will you have the energy to take care of Yuan Yuan in the future?”

As he spoke, Zheng Lin’s eyes filled with tears. Just at that moment, Zhou Furong appeared in front of them.

“Wow! What a coincidence to meet you here!”

Zhou Furong smiled smugly at them, looking haughty.

She had known Zhong Guangping and Zheng Lin for many years. Zhong Guangping’s family lived in the capital. But he often worked in other places, and at one time, he happened to be in the same city as her.

Yangcheng was very far from the capital. It was such a small place that many people there had been very, very envious when they heard that Zhong Guangping was from the capital.

She was one of them.

Zhong Guangping was very handsome. He had an air that differentiated him from other men. He had a good job and drew a high salary. He was not bad-tempered like other men. He was almost perfect, especially in how well he treated his wife.

This was an era that favored boys over girls. Zheng Lin only had one daughter. Anyone else would have made a terrible fuss and the wife would have no standing in the family.

But it was different for Zheng Lin. Zhong Guangping had never blamed her and was always very good to her. He said his daughter was his little darling, and he doted on her.

What woman wouldn’t like a man like that?

In Yangcheng, many girls and young wives fancied Zhong Guangping. They wished they could marry him.

Zheng Lin’s daughter was a few years old, but she had never conceived again. There was a rumor that the first birth had affected her health and it would be difficult for her to have another child.

Even this did not affect how Zhong Guangping treated Zheng Lin. The other women were so jealous.

Zhou Furong was one of them.

Her experience was identical to that of Zheng Lin. She had also had one daughter, but no sons. But her in-laws were utterly different from Zheng Lin.

The Zhou family despised her for not having a son. The entire Zhou family hoped for a son to carry on the family name, but she did not give birth to one. In the Zhou family, she was a criminal. Her in-laws bullied her all day. They would have driven her away if not for the fact that her family was slightly influential.

She also fancied Zhong Guangping.. A pity that Zhong Guangping had never even glanced her way.
