Lin Wanwan couldn't help but laugh. "I heard Sister Mei say before that Director Xu of the military hospital is an upright and serious person who can't stand favoritism and backdoor dealings. Now it seems that was all a rumor."
Xu Zhang couldn't help but laugh. "Who did I do this for? My lifelong reputation was ruined by you. How dare you say that?"
"It seems I have great charm, which made our Dean Xu make an exception."
"Heartless, he got the benefit and is now acting innocent."
As the two were chatting and laughing, Ren Xunyang came out of the kitchen and said, "I've prepared the dishes, they'll be ready in a bit. Auntie, I'll go call Uncle Gu to come for dinner, and also pick up Tuanzi and Xiaohai."
Xu Zhang was quite satisfied to see him busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and said in a soft voice, "Go ahead, and while you're at it, go get some things from home. They're on the table in the living room. Also, get some cheongsams and bring them over."
"Okay, is there anything else I can do?"
"Take the flower tea back with Mrs. Xu, lest someone sees it and says that our Dean Xu accepted bribes."
Xu Zhang chuckled, "Won't people see Lu Feng taking it back?"
"Oh, then let our Dean Xu carry it back himself."
Xu Zhang handed the house key to Lu Feng, saying, "This is the spare key." He then turned to Lin Wanwan and said, "You can keep this key and come over anytime."
"Sure, I'll bring Tuanzi there to play often from now on."
Xu Zhang glanced at the kitchen. "What are we making for lunch? Do you need my help?"
"No need, you and Uncle Gu can just sit and wait for your meal today."
"We're enjoying our good life today. It's true that daughters are better. All you, Brother Gu Bei, do is make me angry."
Xu Zhang sighed as he spoke, "I always thought you were still young, and I thought that after your Uncle Gu finished his work, I would take your brother Gu Bei to visit your parents. It would be best if you two could get along, and if not, we would help you match up. I just want you to marry into our family."
Lin Wanwan smiled and took her arm without saying a word.
“Who knew you would get married this year?” Xu Zhang sighed again. “It’s your brother Gu Bei who is unlucky, but Lu Feng got lucky. I don’t know what your mother sees in him. But your parents are not rash people. Since they think it’s good, there must be a reason. You should live a good life from now on. No matter whether Lu Feng is in the army or not, with me, your Uncle Gu, and your parents, he won’t dare to bully you.”
“Aunt Xu, don’t worry, I will live a good life. I’m not the type to swallow my anger. You know, if I really felt that I wasn’t on the same path as Lu Feng, I wouldn’t let myself get stuck in this situation. I’m not that stupid.”
"It's good that you know. If anything happens, be sure to tell us. Don't make yourself suffer. I talked to your parents on the phone yesterday. The Lu family is rich, but our family is not poor either. You don't need to make yourself suffer all the time. Just be happy."
Lin Wanwan was truly moved; the family affection she couldn't receive in her past life was now being given to her in double the amount in this one.
So this is what it feels like to be cherished by your family. It feels so good to be loved.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Zhang looked down at Lin Wanwan, who was leaning on his shoulder, and found that she was crying.
"You're so old and you're still crying, aren't you ashamed?"
“I’m just so happy. I’m so lucky. Other people only have one dad and one mom, but I have two dads and two moms. I receive double the love.”
"Don't be silly. You are our daughter, so of course we love you. The cheongsam that Lu Feng is bringing over is one I've kept for many years. A few years ago, we weren't allowed to make these things, but later the situation wasn't so tense, so I had an old master make them. I made eighteen for you when you turned eighteen. I originally thought you would like these old things, but now it seems we don't have to worry about that."
"Thank you, Aunt Xu. I really love the cheongsam, I love it so much."
“If you like it, that’s fine. I was worried you wouldn’t like it,” Xu Zhang stood up and walked towards the kitchen. “Come on, I’ll make you some steamed egg custard.”
"Okay, I like steamed egg custard, and Tuanzi likes it too."
Xu Zhang looked at her amusedly, "Tuanzi is a child, and you are a child too, so you both love to eat."
The two were busy in the kitchen, and just as the dishes were finished cooking, Lu Feng returned with his men.
Lin Wanwan peeked out to greet him, "Uncle Gu, you're back?" She saw Wang Lin holding the child and greeted him with a smile.
"Wang Lin is here? Please have a seat. Thank you for taking care of my brother and Tuanzi these past few days. Did it interfere with your business?"
Wang Lin quickly waved his hand, "No, no, sister-in-law, don't be so polite with me. I only take them out to play after I finish training, it doesn't affect anything."
"Alright, alright, everyone, sit down. Wang Lin, please make yourself at home and don't be shy," Gu Changfeng said, gesturing for Wang Lin to sit down.
"Yes, sir!" Wang Lin obediently sat down, holding Tuanzi.
"Xiao Hai, make tea for Uncle Gu, the kind you brought from home."
"Okay, sis."
After greeting everyone, Lin Wanwan went back to the kitchen to continue working. Only after all the dishes were served did she invite everyone to eat.
"Let's eat quickly, we can talk after we finish eating."
Gu Changfeng sat down happily, "Quickly, come and eat, my daughter is a great cook."
"Daughter, daughter, do you know you've caused trouble for your daughter again?"
Gu Changfeng frowned and asked, "How did I get into trouble?"
"That crazy woman came to cause trouble again today, and almost hit your daughter. If anything happens to Wanwan, you just wait!!"
Xu Zhang served Lin Wanwan a spoonful of steamed egg custard. "Give me the baby, I'll feed him. You eat first."
"It's okay, you guys eat first. I got up late this morning and ate late, so I'm not hungry yet."
"What is that woman causing trouble for now?" Gu Changfeng asked in a deep voice.
