Walking out of the house, Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Yan chuckled, took her hand and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Lin Shu looked at him in surprise. Why could he always guess her mood?
Han Yan looked at her gently: "I told you that you can tell me anything."
Lin Shu pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm worried about whether I can be a good daughter-in-law in the future? Can I be a good daughter-in-law..."
"My wife?" Han Yan asked back.
Lin Shu nodded embarrassedly.
Han Yan stopped, held her face in his hands, and said seriously: "You don't have to be anyone's daughter-in-law or anyone's daughter-in-law? You just need to be yourself."
Lin Shu stared at him blankly, confused for a moment, and murmured, "Be yourself?"
Han Yan hummed softly, "There's no need to change yourself just to please others."
Lin Shu suddenly understood and smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you."
Han Yan scratched her nose lovingly: "Little fool."
Lin Shu gave him a glare.
The two smiled at each other.
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Shu gave the gifts he brought back to Xu Juan and Xiao Qiao, and they were both very happy.
She thought about it and told them about her encounter with Liu Fang.
They sighed for a while after listening to it.
"She got what she deserved," Xu Juan sighed.
The next day, Lin Shu went to work in the clinic as usual.
After work in the afternoon, Han Yan came to pick her up.
"Did anything happen that day?" Han Yan asked.
Lin Shu glanced at him, not expecting that he still remembered it.
She thought for a moment and said softly, "I am not my current parents' biological daughter."
Han Yan was surprised: "You mean..."
"You can't tell." Lin Shu joked.
Han Yan pinched her face lightly: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It's so ugly."
Lin Shu was stunned. The corners of his mouth that had been raised slowly dropped. He turned his face away and muttered, "Hateful! You despise me."
Han Yan choked, raised his hands in a funny gesture, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Sir, I am deeply wronged!"
Lin Shu chuckled, and the sadness that had just risen in his heart disappeared.
Han Yan raised the corner of his mouth, took her hand, and said softly, "Uncle Lin and the others treat you as their own child."
Thinking of Lin Jianguo and the others, Lin Shu's eyes curved slightly and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, they treat me very well."
Then, she told Han Yan about the past events of her biological parents.
After hearing this, Han Yan frowned slightly, his face looking solemn.
Lin Shu looked at him puzzledly: "What's the matter?"
"Are you saying that your biological father is Zhou Chuanxiong?" Han Yan asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lin Shu asked doubtfully. Then, with her eyes wide open, she asked, "Do you know someone named Zhou Chuanxiong?"
Han Yan's expression returned to normal: "I know someone, about the same age."
Lin Shu stared at him blankly, unable to believe it: "It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"
"Is there any other information about your biological father?"
"Yes, yes," Lin Shu said hurriedly, "I also have a portrait of him."
After saying that, Lin Shu couldn't wait to go back to the dormitory to show him the photo. He accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the side.
Han Yan grabbed her in time and said, "Be careful. You said you wouldn't do anything clumsy."
Lin Shu smiled awkwardly: "Sorry."
Han Yan flicked her forehead lightly: "What are you talking about?"
Lin Shu's face flushed. It seemed she was still habitually afraid of bothering him.
The two soon arrived at the gate of the educated youth compound. Han Yan was waiting at the door, and she went in to get her passport photo.
"Look." After a while, Lin Shu came out and handed the photo to Han Yan.
Han Yan took the photo and looked at it, a look of surprise on his face: "Don't you think he looks familiar?"
Look familiar? Lin Shu looked closer, puzzled. Then, she stared at Han Yan with wide eyes: "This, this looks a bit like Director Zhou from the supply and marketing cooperative."
Because the photo was taken too long ago, the black and white outlines of the portrait are a little blurred, and she and Director Zhou only met briefly twice.
Once was at the supply and marketing cooperative, and once was when he came to visit Aunt Liang. So I didn't have a deep impression of him and didn't think about it in that way.
Han Yan nodded.
Could it be him? Lin Shu's heart was filled with joy at first, but then it sank. He said gloomily, "If it was him, since he's still alive, why didn't he come looking for us?"
"Don't think too much about it for now." Han Yan said, taking her hand. "From what I know about him, he's not an ungrateful person. Maybe he has his own reasons."
Lin Shu looked at Han Yan in confusion: "Is that so?"
Han Yan touched her head and said, "No matter what the result is, we have to find him to confirm it. We will go to him together tomorrow."
Lin Shu nodded.
At night, Lin Shu stared at the dark roof with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
If Director Zhou was really her biological father, she was happy that he was still alive. However, she felt lost because he had never come to look for them.
The next morning, Lin Shu took a leave of absence and rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative with Han Yan.
At this time, Director Zhou must be working at the supply and marketing cooperative.
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Han Yan asked someone to invite former Director Zhou out.
Lin Shu knew that Han Yan had a good relationship with Director Zhou and would definitely come out to meet them.
Lin Shu was feeling uneasy and kept looking towards the gate.
After a while, Director Zhou came out.
He patted Han Yan's shoulder happily and said, "I haven't congratulated you on your healed leg yet."
Han Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, you're too polite."
Then, Director Zhou turned to look at Lin Shu: "Little girl, I remember you. We have met twice."
Lin Shu looked at him carefully, not missing a single expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Zhou, I am Lin Shu."
He nodded and turned his gaze back to Han Yan.
Lin Shu was disappointed.
She looked carefully at the photo of her biological mother Linzhi, and found that she actually looked a bit like Linzhi.
If Director Zhou was really her biological father, it would be impossible for his expression to remain unchanged. Whether it was the first time or this time, he looked at her like an ordinary stranger.
Han Yan glanced at Lin Shu and said to Director Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, we have something to ask you. How about finding a place to sit down?"
"Oh?" Director Zhou looked puzzled and nodded.
Director Zhou took them to an empty office.
After the three of them sat down, Han Yan handed Director Zhou a photo of Lin Shu's biological mother, Lin Zhi, and asked, "Uncle Zhou, do you know this person?"
Lin Shu looked at Director Zhou carefully.
Director Zhou took the photo, was stunned at first, and then slowly shook his head.
Lin Shu's rising hope was dashed once again. Although he was stunned, it wasn't because he saw someone he knew, or even his lover.
"Should I know the people above me?" Director Zhou asked hesitantly.
"What about the person in this photo?" Han Yan did not answer, but handed the photo of Lin Shu's biological father Zhou Chuanxiong to Director Zhou.
Director Zhou frowned at first, then said in surprise, "The person in the photo is me. It must have been taken when I was 20 years old."
