"Okay, can I go with you?" Lu Jingchuan was mainly worried about Shen Li who was pregnant. If she got bumped or bruised, it would be bad for her body and the baby in her belly. If he went alone, he could protect her.
"Yeah. If Zhang Chengping is really my biological father, then you, as his son-in-law, should meet him." Shen Li said.
"Okay." Lu Jingchuan accompanied Shen Li, and before leaving, he told Du Lan, "Mom, please take care of the two children."
"Well, go ahead and let it go," Duran said. "Be careful on the road. Be careful."
"Okay." Lu Jingchuan accompanied Shen Li away, and the two came to the entrance of the island.
"Come on, get in the car." Zhang Chengping looked at Lu Jingchuan and Shen Li lovingly.
Only then did Lu Jingchuan realize that the man in front of him was the man who had been staring at Lili rudely on the previous train.
No wonder he said that Lili looked very much like an old friend of his.
At first, Lu Jingchuan thought the other party was just flirting with him, but it turned out to be like this...
If Lili is really Zhang Chengping's biological daughter, then everything makes sense.
"Nice to meet you again, young man." Zhang Chengping looked at Lu Jingchuan lovingly.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang." Lu Jingchuan's deep eyes met Zhang Chengping's. "Last time on the train, I didn't know your relationship with Lili, so I spoke a little rudely. I hope you don't blame me."
He spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"How could that be!" Zhang Chengping waved his hands, "I know you are doing this for Xiaoli's own good. This just proves that you are a good husband who protects your wife and a good man who is worth entrusting your life to!"
As he spoke, Zhang Chengping gently patted Lu Jingchuan's broad and powerful shoulders, "Jingchuan, I am very relieved that Xiaoli married a man like you."
Zhang Chengping's driver respectfully opened the car door for them.
Lu Jingchuan held Shen Li's waist and said, "Wife, go slowly."
"Yeah." Shen Li bent down and sat down, and then Lu Jingchuan sat beside Shen Li.
Seeing Lu Jingchuan being so considerate to Shen Li, Zhang Chengping nodded with satisfaction and sat in the front row.
The car drove all the way towards Beijing.
"Uncle Zhang," Shen Li was too embarrassed to call him dad before confirming his identity, "Can you tell me about my mother?"
"If you don't mind, you can call me dad." Zhang Chengping turned his head and looked at Shen Li lovingly, "You are Qiu Rong's daughter. Even if you are not my flesh and blood, in my eyes, you are still my daughter."
"Yeah." Shen Li nodded.
"As for your mother, she was a very elegant and gentle woman." Zhang Chengping turned around, his eyes becoming distant and long.
"My love Qiu Rong was born in an educated family. Her parents are both university professors. Everyone in her family loves her very much. Qiu Rong is the campus beauty. Many men in the school pursue her. The line of pursuers is so long that it can stretch from the east campus to the west campus of the school. I am also one of her pursuers."
"She is very gentle and kind, and always looks as cheerful as a spring breeze when she talks to others."
"She is very loving. Whenever she sees stray kittens and puppies on the street, she will buy them some food and drinks. She also spends money to take injured kittens and puppies to the veterinary station to ask a veterinarian to help treat them. She also helped to make a booklet with the information of those kittens and puppies, hoping to get adoptions from students in school. With her help, many kittens and puppies have been adopted." When talking about Qiu Rong, Zhang Chengping's lips curled up a little smile.
Shen Li was a little surprised.
놇In that era, my mother's behavior was already very advanced.
"But there were many kittens and puppies that needed to be rescued, and not enough people to adopt them, so she rented a small yard for these kittens and puppies to live in, and spent a lot of money on food and drink for these little animals every month. Many people couldn't understand her behavior and talked about her behind her back, but I understood, and I knew she was a very gentle and kind woman."
"The academic papers your mother wrote at school were also published in newspapers. She has achieved good academic results."
"Once, a dog dealer set his sights on the cats and dogs in your mother's yard. He sneaked into the yard when no one was paying attention and injected the dogs with tranquilizers. The dog dealer caught the dogs and cats and put them in cages, put them on a truck, and prepared to sell them to nearby hotels. At that time, I was accompanying your mother to carry the food back to the yard, and happened to see this scene. Your mother was so anxious that she cried. I rushed up to fight with the dog dealer and was injured all over. Only then did I rescue all the cats and dogs and take the dog dealer to the police station."
"Your mother was so moved that she kept crying and wiped my wounds in pain," Zhang Chengping said with a smile. He recalled the things of his youth with happiness on his face. "It was also from that day that she agreed to date me."
"I gave up the opportunity to study abroad in order to be with your mother. Your mother was very touched. Later, we got married. We gave birth to your older brother and named him Haibo," said Zhang Chengping.
"The birth of your eldest brother was not smooth. Your mother waited in the delivery room for three days and three nights before giving birth to your eldest brother. Your eldest brother was 8.6 jin when he was born. He was very big. Your mother suffered a lot."
"Your mother has been very weak since giving birth."
Lu Jingchuan looked at Shen Li worriedly and held Shen Li's soft little hand tightly with his big hand.
Will Lili have a hard time giving birth and will the birthing process be painful?
Shen Li realized what Lu Jingchuan was thinking. She smiled at him softly and said silently, "It's okay."
In fact, as long as you control your diet properly during pregnancy, the fetus will not be very large and you will not gain too much weight during pregnancy.
If delivery is really difficult, there are painless drugs in the medical equipment in the space. She can also study some Chinese medicine that can promote delivery, and there will be no problem.
"Later, your mother always wanted a daughter, but I was worried about her physical condition. Your mother always wanted to have a daughter, so that she could have both a son and a daughter." Zhang Chengping said, "I had no choice but to agree. I originally thought that our family could live happily together, but I didn't expect an accident to happen later..."
Shen Li was silent for a moment, "What about Zhang Yuanyuan..."
"Zhang Yuanyuan, she is my adopted daughter." Zhang Chengping sighed and said, "After your mother passed away, I never looked for another woman. She is my soul mate in this life and my only love, but I have always thought about what she said about wanting a daughter, and wanted to give you a sister, so I went to the orphanage to adopt Zhang Yuanyuan."
