Long Aotian was intimidated by the two men's imposing presence.
He stammered, "Marriage is always between a man and a woman. How can two men have children?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around him looked at him with an expression that said, "You're so shallow."
"Who says you have to have children to get married?" Tang Tang couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Two people get married because of love and affection. Why do they have to have children? Humans aren't animals."
“That’s right,” Wang Zihao chimed in. “My mom also said that she married Dad because she loved him, not because she necessarily wanted to have children. It just so happens that my sister and I came down from heaven and chose her to be our mother.”
The children around them were also chattering amongst themselves.
However, the views they expressed were almost identical to those of Tang Tang and Ning Yanshu.
Long Aotian found it hard to believe when he heard this.
He asked, "Don't your parents ever say things like, 'When you grow up, you should be successful, make a lot of money, and be filial to them'?"
“No way.” Wang Zihao and Tang Tang both shook their heads.
The children looked at each other and said, "Absolutely not."
Long Aotian was deeply affected.
He then turned his probing gaze to Ning Yanshu, who was standing to the side.
Ning Yanshu replied calmly, "My mother once said something like that."
"That's right, that's more like it..."
"My mom said that if I grow up to be a king of selling boxed lunches or a king of collecting recyclables, she'll be happy for me." Ning Yanshu spoke of her mother with pride: "She also often tells me that she loves me very, very much!"
"How is this possible!" Long Aotian's mental defenses crumbled: "What future can you have selling boxed lunches!"
"Why do we have to be successful?" Ning Yanshu asked, puzzled. "We weren't born to be successful. My mother said that as long as I grow up safely and healthily, that's enough."
"Yes, yes, that's what my mom said too. She just wants me to be happy..."
...
Everyone was talking at once.
Everyone has endless love and stories to share about their mother.
Only Long Aotian stood quietly to the side, his hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, looking completely lost.
It wasn't until Ms. Yuzu returned to the classroom that the children were urged to go back to their seats.
This discussion has now come to an end...
...
On his way home from school, Long Aotian looked at the man in the driver's seat.
He fell into deep thought.
My dad has been very busy lately, so busy that he hasn't had time to come home at all.
Shortly after Wodima Oilfield Equipment Co., Ltd. went public, the company generated substantial profits.
Overwhelmed by his sudden wealth, Long Batian became arrogant and overconfident.
So they seized the opportunity and entered the real estate industry.
He set his sights on a piece of land in Yunshuijiang.
The location there is excellent and the surrounding environment is elegant, making it very suitable for the development and construction of villas.
Coincidentally, the location there is also in the south of the city, right across from the Shenfu construction site.
The two are separated only by a river.
Since Shen Fu appeared at the last press conference, Long Batian has been in a gloomy mood for several days.
Upon learning that he had been tricked, Long Batian was still unable to swallow his anger.
Taking advantage of the time when children were being dropped off at kindergarten, Long Batian stopped Shen Fu's car and angrily questioned Shen Fu: "You are clearly not Lu Chen, why did you lie to me!"
With his hands resting on the steering wheel, Shen Fu replied casually, "When did I ever tell you that I am Lu Chen?"
"You clearly said it last time!" Long Batian roared, "I asked you if you were President Lu, and you answered 'Yes'!"
Shen Fu raised an eyebrow: "Did I say that?"
"For details, please see Chapter 148, Hello, President Lu!" Every word Long Batian uttered was almost a forced expression of his anger, spat out between his teeth.
However, Shen Fu's reaction to Long Batian's furious outburst was rather unremarkable.
"Oh, really..." He curled his lips into a smirk, his words defiant: "So what?... Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you can rely on a man, pigs can fly'?"
In short, he cursed himself as well.
Long Batian stood there, stunned, speechless for a moment...
...
After returning home, Long Batian became increasingly angry.
He was Shen Fu, nothing more than a character with no presence in a novel. But I was the father of the world's male protagonist!
He possesses prophetic knowledge about this world; he is the protagonist of this world. How could he allow himself to be tricked and manipulated by an ordinary supporting character?
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Shen Fu, a man suddenly showed up at his door.
He is Shen Fu's father, Shen Jiahao.
Although Shen Jiahao owns shares in Shenhao Group, the largest shareholding is still controlled by Shen Fu.
He had always wanted to find an opportunity to break free from Shen Fu's control and regain his sovereignty!
They learned that Long Batian had bought the land in Yunshuijiang and was now recruiting people to invest and form partnerships.
Therefore, Shen Jiahao, who was well aware of the value of Yunshui River, took the initiative to extend an olive branch for cooperation.
He first expressed his admiration for Long Batian's success in middle age, then revealed that Zhang Yuan was about to get engaged to his second daughter, and finally intentionally or unintentionally indicated that his relationship with Shen Fu was not harmonious.
This series of actions successfully gained Long Batian's trust.
With Zhang Yuan's father being a member of the municipal committee, the construction progress at the site was naturally able to proceed smoothly.
