Super Zoo-Chapter 450 - 445: Help Give Birth to a Monkey?!

```

Isn’t that stating the obvious? Even Nangong Huang, that teenager, can see the situation between you and Hong Feifei crystal clear. Is there anything I don’t know?

Suming fell silent, picked up the tea from the table, took a sip without directly answering, and gestured for her to continue. Although Ding’s sexual orientation might be unconventional, she was definitely sharp-minded when it came to business after years of being immersed in it. Since she had brought it up, she was unlikely to be asking just a simple question--there must be more to her story.

Sure enough, without waiting for Suming to respond, Ding carried on, speaking as if to Suming, but also as if talking to herself.

By Shuijun Lake, with long hair draped over her shoulders and a wisp of smoke curling up, a figure looked out over the water, recalling past memories.

Ding was only nineteen that year when her rural parents arranged a marriage for her with a pig farmer from the county--a good family and the man was actually not bad-looking. But even at that time, Ding seemed to not be very interested in men. So, she ran away from the marriage to the city to work as an apprentice, starting as a waitress at Hong Family Cuisine.

Because she was hardworking, could endure hardship, and understood social etiquette, Ding quickly caught the eye of Hong Bo, who was then in the ascendant phase of his career, and she was promoted to department manager of Hong Family Cuisine.

With the capable Ding’s help, the burden on Hong Bo’s shoulders was greatly lightened. He had lost his wife early and had been raising his daughter alone. Hong Feifei, who was only fourteen at the time, had already shown extraordinary culinary talent, but had no interest in managing the business. She was more than qualified to be a top chef, but if the responsibility of running the whole Hong Family Cuisine fell on her, it would likely quickly go under.

Therefore, Hong Bo, thinking ahead, started to plan for the future. He even entertained the idea of someday giving Ding a share of the business, having her become a professional manager of Hong Family Cuisine, handling the operations, and letting his daughter Hong Feifei be the major shareholder. Of course, it would be even better if they could find a competent son-in-law in the future.

Considering this, Hong Bo observed Ding for a while and, upon deciding that she was trustworthy, began to fully cultivate her potential. He not only taught her the skills of doing business and gradually introduced her to various connections within the Hong family, but he also entrusted her with the secret recipes of Hong Family Cuisine.

Indeed, Ding was a person who knew how to repay kindness. She not only worked hard in the business but also saw that it was pretty tough for Hong Bo, a middle-aged man, raising his daughter alone. Whenever she had free time, she would help out with his household affairs and assist with caring for Hong Feifei.

In the course of time, Ding and the Hong family became almost like one family. Ding was mature beyond her years and acted like an older sister to Hong Feifei, and at times, like a mother.

By this point in the story, Suming already had a feeling that the relationship between these three people was somewhat peculiar.

If you suggest that there was something between Ding and Hong Bo, developing towards a stepmother situation, that would probably not be the case. After all, Ding had started to dislike men since then, and from her words, it was clear that Hong Bo, who was busy with social engagements all the time, was also deeply attached to his late wife, and did not seem inclined to consider other possibilities.

But to say that there wasn’t even a hint of something would also seem incorrect. Who can be completely unfeeling? Suming was a man too, and he asked himself if he were in Hong Bo’s shoes, with such a young, capable, and sincerely good-natured woman helping him manage both his home and business affairs, even if he wouldn’t admit it, his heart would inevitably flutter.

This was exactly like the relationship between Huang Yaoshi and Mei Chaofeng!

If things had continued like that, maybe in a few years, as Hong Bo’s feelings for his late wife faded, we would have had the perfect ending for a prime-time family drama: the lesbian straightened out, the middle-aged man blooming in his second spring, and the little girl getting a new mother...

Unexpectedly, the style of the story changed, and the plot took a turn towards the tragic.

No, to be precise, it was a change of protagonist. Just like in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," for the first fifth of the story, you might have thought Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were the main characters, but as soon as the real protagonist, Zhang Wuji, appeared, those two were destined to be sidelined.

Hong Feifei was only fourteen when she met Ding Jing, a time in adolescence when both body and mind are rapidly developing, and when the heart races with excitement. At this age, boys and girls have not yet fully established their values, like a blank canvas, easily influenced.

Moreover, having lost her mother at a young age, what Hong Feifei lacked the most was maternal love. According to some psychological perspectives, her heart was in dire need of a sense of security. The talent she exhibited in cooking and the toughness she displayed towards other chefs were, in fact, forms of self-protection.

Ding Jing wasn’t much older than Hong Feifei but was certainly the difference between an adult and a minor, perfectly filling the void in Hong Feifei’s heart. In no time, she went from ’Dad’s colleague’ to a mentor, a role to rely on in life.

Without needing to be told, Suming had already guessed seven or eight parts of the following story: In the course of her interactions with her older ’sister,’ Ding Jing, Hong Feifei gradually developed a dependency, and a talented and beautiful young girl was bent out of shape!

"Damn it, that’s inhuman!" Suming sucked in a breath of cold air. How old was Hong Feifei at the time that Ding Jing could even make her move?

He never thought she’d be that kind of older sister. He really didn’t understand the world of lilies!

Ding Jing and Hong Feifei played kissing games at home several times and were caught red-handed by Hong Bo. Initially, Hong Bo didn’t take it too seriously, assuming it was just two little girls fooling around, but gradually, he realized something was amiss. Inside Hong Family Cuisine, rumors about the unorthodox relationship between the two girls were also rife.

Secrets don’t stay hidden forever. Once Hong Bo decided to investigate, he quickly understood the situation. He pretended to go on a business trip, then returned halfway, and upon entering the bedroom, he witnessed a scene that would haunt his nightmares for the rest of his life.

"After that, I was dismissed. I came to Yangchuan City to start from scratch. Of course, I did use the social connections I’d gained from Hong Family Cuisine. At the beginning of my career, conflicts with Hong Family Cuisine were inevitable, and resentment between us deepened over time. When Hong Family Cuisine was on the decline, and Xiankelai Group was thriving, I impulsively, almost possessed, proposed to acquire Hong Family Cuisine. Partly I wanted to give Hong Family a decent end, and partly I wanted to vent my frustration. Hong Bo, of course, wouldn’t have it, and he cursed me out over the phone. Feifei is a dutiful daughter; to avoid angering her father, she cut off contact with me. Now that Hong Family Cuisine has completely shut down, her dad’s resentment towards me is probably even deeper than before..."

"Oh, so, now that the mountain’s high and the emperor’s far away, and Hong Bo’s not around, the two of you are having secret meetings here at my place," Suming nodded. He couldn’t be bothered to sort out right from wrong in these women’s affairs. As long as it didn’t affect the normal workflow, let them have their secret meetings. Anyway, just as Nangong Huang said, no matter what they do, they can’t make babies...

"No, Mr. Su, that’s not what I meant. If it were just a matter of finding a place to meet, I could buy a house in the city for Feifei easily; I can afford that much."

Ding Jing suddenly turned, a strange light flickering in her phoenix eyes as she stared at Suming and said, word by word, "I need your help with something!"

"Ah?" Suming was shocked, followed immediately by overwhelming joy!

Could it be that they want my help in having a monkey?!!

Whahahahahaha!
