One after another, people spit out their food at the dinner table. Zheng Yang rinsed his mouth first, his face dark as he looked at his daughter, his tone revealing genuine concern: "Sweetie, who is the father of your child? Has someone been bullying you?"
Zheng Wanyi smiled at her family and said, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, don't overthink it. Actually, I planned this."
A knowing glint flashed in Jiang Ruyu's eyes: "You want to leave your son behind? You don't want to get married?"
Zheng Wanyi nodded and said, "That's right, Mom. Our family situation is what it is. I either have to find a man like us and live a life of mutual respect, but it could also be a life of mutual suspicion and scheming. I don't want to live such a tiring life. I want to have a child. I don't need a husband. The child has all of you elders, and my aunt and uncle. That's enough."
Zheng Dali, being from the older generation, couldn't quite accept his granddaughter's progressive ideas: "Tian Tian, we can find someone with less favorable conditions, but with us around, he won't dare to treat you badly. It's best for a child to grow up in a family with both parents."
"Grandpa, don't worry about me. I just don't want to spend the rest of my life constantly suspecting and doubting my private life. If I find someone with worse conditions than me, can you be sure he won't have any bad intentions? No, people's hearts are unpredictable and change too much. I'd rather deal with the root of the problem directly."
Jiang Ruyu was the quickest to accept the situation, but she still had to ask the necessary questions: "Who is the child's father? Have you found out anything about the circumstances?"
"I met a junior from two years below me by chance. He didn't know who I was. He was studying law. We met at a party. He seemed to be allergic to alcohol and was forced to drink a lot by someone. I checked and found that he didn't have a girlfriend and was considered clean. He only had his mother. I was attracted to his good-looking face and smart mind, so I took the opportunity to sleep with him. Coincidentally, I got pregnant on the first try. I guess it was fate."
Zheng Wanyi spoke casually, but Zheng Dali and Zheng Yang frowned. Jiang Ruyu asked her, "Are you sure he doesn't know who you are? Or that you were the one that night? Did you clean up the sheets afterwards?"
She knew her daughter was virtuous and didn't have a boyfriend.
"Mom, don't worry, I've cleaned everything up. The venue was in our hotel, and I've already asked the manager to delete the surveillance footage."
In the end, the matter was left to the child to decide. She was now the spokesperson for the Zheng family, capable of making decisions, and it was believed that she could handle these private matters herself.
During the Chinese New Year, Zheng Wanxing brought home a man of mixed Chinese and French descent, claiming he was her boyfriend and a painter. This once again shocked the old man and Zheng Yang.
Grandpa Zheng said earnestly to his granddaughter, "Huanhuan, can't we find a Chinese lad with black eyes and black hair? This blond hair and blue eyes makes me uneasy, they're not good-looking."
Zheng Wanxing hadn't expected her grandfather's objections to be for these reasons. She blinked and said, "Grandpa, he's a Chinese citizen, not a foreigner. His mother is Chinese, and he has his mother's nationality."
"But he doesn't have black hair either."
Zheng Yang initially disagreed, but seeing that he spoke fluent Chinese and was genuinely considerate of Huanhuan, she stopped saying anything, and they didn't hold a wedding ceremony.
Zheng Wanxing smiled and said, "We don't need to have a wedding. We'll just get a marriage certificate and then have a destination wedding."
The eldest daughter took over the company and, for the sake of future influence and stability, will undoubtedly hold the most shares. The younger daughter isn't interested in any of that, so Jiang Ruyu plans to give her some shares so she can have enough money from the dividends.
The youngest son, An Xu, is already a citizen of the country, so he cannot have shares. Therefore, Jiang Ruyu can only prepare real estate and savings for him.
After ten months of pregnancy, Zheng Wanyi gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. After her postpartum period, the exquisitely beautiful children became the darlings of the family.
Jiang Hui and Han Ling are also well-known professors in the education industry. Jiang Chen and Jiang Yu, like their father, Jiang Chen is on the path of scientific research. He is a mathematics major. He studied at Yenching University for his undergraduate degree and pursued his master's and doctoral degrees at top universities abroad.
He married a woman who was in the same major as him. No one could understand what the couple was saying. After they got married, they didn't have time to take care of their child, so Han Ling raised the child single-handedly.
Jiang Yu was admitted to the Army Command Academy and is now an officer. With the support of his elders, his future is bright. He has also married a fellow soldier and has a lovely daughter.
As for Jiang Lin, he earned his career through hard work and dedication. Without the system, he would have died countless times already. He is now a high-ranking military commander.
After marrying him, Zhang Xiaoyan stopped working and devoted herself to taking care of Jiang Zhou and Jiang Chuan, her love for them even more than for Jiang Linhai. The two children were also very attached to her.
Whether Jiang Chuan and Jiang Zhou knew whether they were Zhang Xiaoyan's biological children or not, no one knew. In any case, the two children treated her no differently than their own mother. Even Jiang Lin often said later, "I feel that you treat the two children better than you treat me."
Zhang Xiaoyan said directly, "I only married you because of the child. If I'm not good to the child, who else would I be good to?"
Jiang Lin had been sulking for several days until Jiang Chuan and Jiang Zhou were admitted to university, and then Zhang Xiaoyan, who was thirty-six years old, became pregnant again. Neither she nor Jiang Lin could believe it.
After calming down, Zhang Xiaoyan said to Jiang Lin, "I want an abortion. I'm already this old, why should I have another child?"
Jiang Lin disagreed: "What nonsense are you talking about? You're already this age, having an abortion would be even more harmful to your health."
However, Jiang Lin couldn't make Zhang Xiaoyan's decision. Zhang Xiaoyan was unwilling to have children, mainly because she was afraid that her feelings for the two children would change. She didn't want her current happy family to be changed because of an unborn child.
In the end, Jiang Lin called the child back. Jiang Chuan and Jiang Zhou tried to persuade him for a long time, but he stubbornly insisted that he wanted a younger brother or sister. Zhang Xiaoyan was probably reluctant to give up the child, but in the end, she gave birth to him.
After ten months of pregnancy, Jiang Lin gave birth to a little girl, and he and his two children doted on her like she was royalty.
Meanwhile, Guan Jin has completely changed since she learned that Jiang Lin got married very quickly. She accepts any man who pursues her, as long as he can bring her happiness and benefits.
This has led to her having a particularly bad reputation, but she doesn't steal or rob, and the men she dates are all unmarried. It's all consensual, and their sweet talk without getting married doesn't bother anyone else.
She also used the men who were pursuing her to get rid of Guan Yong's son. Even the shameful things Guan Yong and Zhao Yafang had done in the past were exposed, and she lost her retirement benefits.
Over the years, under the leadership of his eldest cousin Hu Dong, Uncle Jiu's family has rented land, leased mountains, and started raising livestock. In order to save costs, they even opened a feed factory and are now private entrepreneurs.
Second cousin Hu Bei started working in transportation with Zheng Yang early on, and now owns a significant number of shares in the branch company, earning a considerable amount of money from dividends.
