Chapter 69 almost certainly confirms that Zhizhi is her biological granddaughter!
Jiang Anchao pursed his lips. "They are all my children, and they are all good."
He knew that his adoption of Su Zhenwei could not be hidden from the commander's eyes.
After all, even though he always told others that the child was his biological son, he endured so many years of criticism.
However, the adoption procedures he made are all in his personal file, and the commander can check them at any time if he wants to.
Jiang Anchao didn't intend to hide it.
However, neither Gansu nor Zhenwei knew that he was not their biological son, so he did not want to mention it too much in front of the children.
After a quick meal, Ji Zeguo got up to leave.
He thought for a moment, then took off his watch and handed it to Zhizhi, saying, "Grandpa came in a hurry today and didn't prepare a gift for you, so this is for you."
"You're too kind, this won't do, this really won't do!"
Jiang Anchao quickly stood up and refused.
The watch is very valuable; it's definitely inappropriate for him to give it to a child like that.
Zhizhi blinked her big eyes, "Grandpa, aren't we good friends? Why are you being so polite? Zhizhi doesn't want the watch. Next time, Zhizhi can come to Grandpa's house to play!"
She has no worries about food and clothing now, so there's no point in asking for a watch.
Besides, her grandfather was so good to her, she would feel awkward receiving gifts.
Friends shouldn't be so formal with each other.
"Please accept this; it's a token of my grandfather's appreciation."
Ji Zeguo liked Zhizhi even more. Such a sensible and adventurous child was someone he could be proud of anywhere.
Jiang Anchao shook his head firmly, "We really can't accept it."
After some back and forth, the guard finally whispered a reminder, "We really have to go; we have a meeting this afternoon."
Ji Zeguo only realized that there was no time left after being reminded.
He could only bend down and make a promise to the little one, "When Grandpa comes back, you can go to Grandpa's house to play. We made a promise, so you can't go back on it."
"No problem~"
Zhizhi nodded, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled.
The little cub was carried by its father, who escorted the Commander-in-Chief all the way to the alley entrance.
The car was already waiting at the alley entrance, but Ji Zeguo was reluctant to leave.
He longed to take Zhizhi wherever he went, but he had no way and no legitimate reason.
Before getting into the car, Ji Zeguo solemnly instructed, "Anchao, it's best if an adult is at home to look after your children. Several children went missing from the Suzhou Textile Factory. Things haven't been peaceful lately, so keep a close eye on them."
"Don't worry."
Ji Zeguo got into the car and looked at the cub through the rear window.
He reached out and wiped his eyes, feeling a slight dampness.
As the car started and drove away, the guard finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Do you think Zhizhi might be that child?"
Ji Zeguo looked out the window, his tone heavier than ever before, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Zhizhi who came here to cause trouble."
“Then we can take Zhizhi with us and do a blood type test. If she is the young lady’s bloodline, it’s not convenient to leave her out here.”
The bodyguard had always been by the commander's side, and he knew all too well how hard the commander had worked over the years.
After searching for his daughter for so long, he finally received the news of her death.
Now it's almost certain that Zhizhi is the bloodline left behind, so why not take her away legitimately?
"...How could I not want to bring her back to my side and raise her myself?"
Ji Zeguo sighed helplessly, feeling as if there was a hole in his heart, a bitter feeling like a cold wind was blowing through him.
"But didn't you see? She's here, loved by her father and mother, protected by her brother... She doesn't lack love in this family, and she's very happy now. I can't just take advantage of our blood relationship to stop her from pursuing happiness, can I?"
A cold wind swept in through the car window, and a rare hint of softness appeared on Ji Zeguo's steely face.
Never mind, he and Zhizhi will have plenty of time to spend together in the future.

next day
[Ding~]
[Your little master is a little happier today! The space has gifted you the automatic meat processing skill. If you need it, the chickens, ducks, and geese in the breeding area can be automatically turned into delicious dishes!]
[Also, we see that the little master's affection for family has increased again~ Congratulations to the little master for receiving an extra reminder: there will be a large wave of layoffs next year, and the value of the gold bars the little master previously stored will skyrocket, with the price expected to reach 16 yuan per gram. After next year, the little master will become the first person in the military dependents' family to have 10,000 yuan in savings~]
The gentle sounds of the space awakened Zhizhi from her sweet dream.
She rubbed her eyes and realized that she had entered the space without knowing when.
Huh?
Gold prices surge? Millionaires?
Does it refer to the supplies she previously hoarded from her capitalist grandfather?
During this period, the uncles and aunts in the military dependents' home have been complaining endlessly, saying that their wages can't keep up with prices at all, and they've used all their savings to stock up on daily necessities.
However, since my family had stocked up on a lot of food and supplies in advance, we were not affected at all.
Now that I've heard this from the space, does it mean that starting next year, prices will not only not fall, but will continue to rise?
The little cub, with its chubby little face in its hands, collected the ripe vegetables and fruits as usual.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "But gold can't be bought or sold either, right? There's a bunch of antique jewelry inside, so there's no way to sell it."
If she can't sell these things, how can she become the richest person?
The space seemed to hear her voice, and it soon rang out again.
[Don't worry, little master! Next year marks the official start of the 80s, and you can freely buy and sell the food in your warehouse! The space will do its best to help you become the richest and happiest little one~]
"Wow, the Space Sister can hear what I'm saying?!"
Zhizhi was stunned; she had initially thought the space was like a machine.
Surprisingly, we can actually have a conversation!
That's amazing!
Space seemed to realize that her sudden outburst had revealed something, and from then on, no matter what the little cub said, she stopped speaking.
Zhizhi was a little disappointed, but she could only leave the space with the dishes she ate that day, just like always.
"—Zhizhi, Aunt Wen is off work today, shall we go out and have some fun?"
Wen Qingqian went straight to the cubs as soon as she entered the courtyard.
Zhizhi quickly hid the vegetable basket, and a moment later she saw Aunt Wen, dressed smartly, walk into the bedroom.
Wen Qingqian scooped the cub into her arms, with Cuiping following behind. The two of them treated the Jiang family like their own home, showing no politeness whatsoever.
In no time, she washed the cubs clean and dressed them up beautifully and made them smell nice.
They even dressed her in the most fashionable purple tutu skirt at the time, with fluffy socks that were only available abroad underneath.
As soon as Zhizhi stepped out of the bedroom, she suspiciously lifted her skirt. "Auntie... does this really look good?"
She didn't notice at all that as soon as she came out, Yuan Hui's gaze was glued to her and couldn't be taken off for a second.
Even Zhenwei, who was eating a cookie, couldn't hold it steady, and the cookie fell directly onto the table with a 'thud'.
Wen Qingqian covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't you know what your brother's reaction means?"
Zhizhi glanced at Zhenwei; he was completely dumbfounded.
She shook her head and walked up to Yuan Hui. "Brother Yuan Hui, is it inappropriate for me to go out dressed like this?"
Yuan Hui stared blankly for a long, long time before finally managing to stammer, "It's very beautiful..."
Zhizhi was already beautiful, but now she's practically a little princess.
He couldn't even look at her.
Seeing her son's reaction, Wen Qingqian became even more proud. "Zhizhi, even your brother Yuanhui is dumbfounded. You still don't believe me? Come on! Auntie will take you out. I guarantee you'll amaze the entire military region!"
