The caregiver had been hired by Su Ding from the market. She had paid a higher price than competitors, requiring professional care standards.
Shao Zhenggang had a chef, maids, and a driver at home.
Besides basic leg massages for Shao Zhenggang, reminding him to take his medication, and pushing his wheelchair for daily outings, the caregiver was also responsible for ensuring Shao Zhenggang's safety.
Although Shao Long and Shao Hu hadn't directly attacked Shao Zhenggang just now, their actions were considered indirect.
After Shao Zhenggang fell onto his wheelchair.
Where was the caregiver?
He was hiding nearby, watching, and hadn't even tried to help with the wheelchair.
Putting aside the contract, one was disabled, and the other a woman, being bullied by two burly men. The caregiver, as a man, stood by indifferently, proving to be worse than an ordinary person.
What was the point of keeping such a person?
"You, what do you mean?" The caregiver started to panic.
He had actually been living quite comfortably at the Shao residence, earning thirty thousand yuan a month, with very little work. Since Shao Zhenggang rarely went out, he enjoyed his leisure.
Seeing Su Ding was serious and had even brought up the contract, he instantly regretted his actions.
"I'm very busy and don't have time to explain. You can leave. I'll give you the compensation you're owed, but if you want to make a fuss, we'll meet in court."
Su Ding said coldly, then pushed Shao Zhenggang towards the parking lot elevator.
Shao Zhenggang was deeply moved and felt even more guilty towards Su Ding, but at this point, nothing he could say would help.
He could only hope to make it up to her in the days to come.
Entering the elevator, father and daughter remained silent.
The atmosphere was quiet and somewhat awkward for a moment, but they soon reached the upper level.
Su Ding pushed Shao Zhenggang out of the elevator and into the villa's backyard garden, where many guests had already arrived.
Given the Shao family's status, inviting so many people was quite an impressive feat.
The Shao family's matriarch sat at the head table, her face creased with a deep smile. In front of her were various gifts: massage pillows, gold rings, and thick wads of cash.
All these gifts were displayed on the table, exuding an air of prestige.
Her youngest daughter was also dressed in opulent jewelry, linked arm in arm with the matriarch. Although over thirty years old, she still retained a childlike demeanor, looking exceptionally happy.
"Matriarch, you have such good fortune, with your eldest son, third son, and daughter all so filial."
"Matriarch, this time I've brought you pearls that I acquired from a foreign collector. I hope you like them. Regarding the business between our Hao Da Company and your esteemed company, I would be grateful if you could speak a word for us..."
"Matriarch, what I'm giving you is..."
...
The entire banquet was hosted and managed by the eldest son, Shao Zhengchang, with his son Shao Jun assisting by his side, giving him the air of the Shao family's eldest grandson.
However, upon seeing these familiar faces, Su Ding's expression remained placid.
Shao Zhenggang was also feeling nervous. Ever since his company was acquired and he lost his legs, his elder and younger brothers had looked down on him in their hearts, and even his mother treated him less favorably than before.
He had brought his daughter to celebrate his mother's birthday this time, hoping to ease the strained relationship between them.
As Su Ding pushed him forward, some people recognized them and began to whisper and discuss.
"He really is crippled now. The Shao family descendants are quite capable, except for this second son."
"This second son was quite impressive a few years ago, but then for some reason, he sold his company and lost his legs... it's really regrettable."
"Hey, who is that woman? His daughter?"
"No way, I remember his daughter didn't look like that?"
Su Ding passed through the crowd with a blank expression, as if the discussions weren't about her. Just as they were about to reach her grandmother's main table, an unkind voice suddenly called out from behind.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
