Chapter 161 I Want to Marry An Ning
Late at night, dim lights were on in the Lu family ancestral hall.
The moonlight cast faint traces in an open courtyard, vaguely depicting a figure kneeling in front of the ancestral hall.
The figure's back was straight and stiff, shrouded in dim light, like a tenacious green bamboo in the dark night.
Ji Xiu walked step by step on the cobblestone road and stood behind the man.
"Second Young Master."
He said softly, "The chairman asks you, have you made up your mind?"
Lu Xiyan knelt in front of the spirit tablet, his profile deep and cold, his calm and profound gaze always looking at the spirit tablet, without saying a word.
Ji Xiu continued, "The chairman's intention is that if you have made up your mind, go back and rest. You haven't eaten all day, and the chairman has someone prepare a meal for you."
"Uncle Ji."
Lu Xiyan didn't stand up, and said in a low voice, "I've made up my mind."
When Ji Xiu heard this, he took a step forward and heard the other party say, "Please tell Grandpa that I want to marry An Ning."
Ji Xiu was startled and asked again, "Second Young Master, do you really want to—"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Xiyan.
"Whether grandpa agrees or not, I will marry An Ning."
He was still kneeling, with no intention of getting up.
Just because he knelt for a day doesn't mean he was wrong.
Instead, he knelt down in front of his father and apologized for what happened that year.
He knelt for a full twelve hours, hoping that Lu Ling would forgive him, forgive him for not wanting peace no matter whether it was four years ago or four years later.
Ji Xiu knew his temper, and he also knew that no one could refute what he said and the decisions he made, not even the chairman.
He sighed helplessly and turned away.
......
It was already midnight, and An Ning was sitting in the study, looking at her silent phone.
He poked at the cartoon objects on the desk boredly and muttered, "Is Xi Yan so busy today? Why hasn't he replied to my message yet, and no one answered my phone call."
"He's not going to change his mind, is he? Will he turn back into the cold and icy Lu Xiyan after returning to Jinghai?"
"No." She immediately shook her head, "He's not that kind of person."
I opened the drawer and was about to take out the file bag I brought from Dianhai when I suddenly saw the medicine bottle in the drawer.
She didn't bring this medicine with her when she was on a business trip. Calculating the time, she hadn't taken the medicine for about ten days.
Put the medicine bottle back in the drawer again. Maybe you won’t need to take medicine anymore in the future.
Everything is getting better slowly.
He took out the two heavy files and placed them on the table. One was a hard-to-get patent, and the other was an inheritance.
She had never opened the inheritance book, but according to her aunt, this was her parents' life savings and property.
An Ning actually didn't want this inheritance. She had never fulfilled her filial duties in the past twenty years, so how could she have the face to inherit the inheritance?
She thought that if her parents had other children, she would not accept the property.
But my aunt said that she was her parents' only daughter.
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but warm up, and she opened the file bag with trembling fingers.
When An Ning saw the contents of the documents in the file bag, her breathing suddenly stopped and her heart tightened.
The names "Jiang Pei and Kong Yiyun" were signed on a thick stack of property transfer documents. The contract would take effect immediately after the transferee signed.
In addition, there are several passbooks, each of which is divided into categories - from living funds, education funds, to hobby funds, etc.
In each passbook, there is a considerable amount of money deposited by the Jiang couple every year.
From the year she was born, until...
An Ning's eyes flickered. The last fund deposit stopped in the year when the two elders passed away.
The amount left to her from these funds alone was a huge sum.
Hot tears fell, and An Ning finally understood why in the entire Jiang family villa, except for her room, there was everything, while the other rooms and decorations looked so simple and plain.
Because both her parents gave her the best.
He might even live frugally every year and save all his salary and wages for his lost daughter.
They didn't know if she could ever go back.
But they still left a way out for her.
Thinking of this, An Ning's hand holding the passbook trembled constantly, and tears flowed silently down her face.
She gathered up all the property books and prepared to put them in the safe.
Suddenly, a yellowed piece of paper was found inside, with a corner exposed.
An Ning gently pulled the piece of paper out from the document contract, like two pages torn from a diary.
The pen handwriting on the yellowed paper is vigorous and powerful.

[1997, April 6, light rain.
The lady brought home a baby girl who was abandoned by her mother at the fourteenth day of her birth and her life or death was uncertain.
Feeling sorry for the child, he wanted to raise him.
The baby girl is so beautiful and cute. My husband and I have no children, so this is a gift from God.
So it was named "Zhi", which means arrival, that is, the best.
May my daughter grow up healthy and safe. 】

[2018, November 9, cloudy.
After years of searching for my daughter without success, my wife and I are in poor health and are getting worse day by day.
The New Year is approaching, and I miss my son very much.
I wonder if I can wait for her to come back next spring.
I was reluctant to tell my daughter her life story, but I was afraid that if she knew it in the future, she would not know how she came.
After much thought, I wrote a few lines while I still had the strength to pick up the pen.
To my son:
If one day you still remember the way home and your parents are still alive, they will tell you in person.
If what you see are the two pages of diary left by your father, then they are the answers your parents left for you before they died.
Although you are not our biological child, you are better than ours.
By now you should have grown up. It is your right to know your life experience, and it is your choice whether to find your relatives or not.
No matter what choice you make, Zhier will always be our Zhier.
May you always have a clear and open mind, not be troubled or confused, and not be anxious or worried.
The road ahead is long but also bright. May my daughter be safe and healthy wherever she is at this moment.
