Chapter 265 I Want to Register for Marriage with Su Li
Fu Jinzhou's heart was in his throat.
He anticipated their shock, and perhaps even sadness and loss, and worried that they were afraid that the daughter they had raised for more than 20 years would leave because she had found her biological parents.
However, he did not expect Liu Guilan to say this.
At this moment, Su Danian's frown suddenly relaxed, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
"Good find, good find!"
He turned to look at his son and gave an unquestionable command, "Mingde! Go, get that bottle of 'good stuff' I hid! I'm having a good time today, so you have to have a couple of drinks!"
Su Mingde and Wen Yu were both stunned.
Since his recovery, his family has strictly controlled his drinking.
Fu Jinzhou was also a little surprised.
This reaction... was completely different from what he expected.
Su Li was even more puzzled, staring at Su Danian blankly, "Dad..."
"Don't feel burdened, my daughter. Dad is really happy for you."
Su Li stared at her father and burst into tears. Her family always praised her for whatever she did.
Now that she has reunited with her biological parents without telling them, they all feel good about it.
Su Li felt that she had always been lucky to have such a loving family. Even her biological parents might not have given her so much favor.
Liu Guilan looked at her daughter's confused expression, her eyes slightly red, but with a relieved smile, she gently patted the back of Su Li's hand.
"Silly child," she said softly, a touch of nostalgia lingering in her voice, "In the first two years after you came to our house, your father went to the police station every now and then."
"Every time I go there, I ask if anyone has come to report a crime and is looking for their child."
"I ran for several years."
Liu Guilan sighed and continued, "Later, there was no news, so we gradually traveled less and less. We thought that after so long, maybe... maybe your parents had accepted the fact that they couldn't find their child. Or maybe something happened at home and they had to send you away."
"So," she said, her eyes falling lovingly on Su Li's face, full of pity, "your dad said that he must treat you twice as well, give you the best he can, and make up for the love your biological parents have given you."
"Let us help you grow up happily and smoothly by your side, making up for the regret of not being able to grow up with your biological parents."
Liu Guilan's words were like a warm stream, slowly flowing through Su Li's heart.
It turns out...it turns out they had thought about this day a long time ago.
Her parents' love for her is deep and selfless.
Even in the past, which she didn't know, her father had been so persistent in wanting to find a way home for her.
Su Li couldn't help but let her tears roll down.
It’s not because of grievance, but because of being moved and guilty.
She had always thought that confessing her life story would cause great harm to the family, but she didn't expect that they had already paved all the escape routes for her with the most generous love.
"Mom..." She choked and threw herself into Liu Guilan's arms.
Su Danian looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, his eyes a little moist, but he pretended to be cheerful and picked up the wine glass that Su Mingde had just poured.
"Why are you crying? This is such a happy occasion!" He raised his glass to Fu Jinzhou, "Jinzhou, you did a great job on this matter! You solved a problem that had been on our minds for many years! Come, uncle will toast you!"
After the meal, Fu Jinzhou felt heavy-hearted. The Su family was kind, so they could raise a daughter like Su Li.
Fu Jinzhou did not leave and played chess with Su Danian in the living room.
The sound of Su Li and Liu Guilan talking in low voices and the clinking of dishes coming from the kitchen made people feel inexplicably at ease.
Fu Jinzhou calmly gave Su Danian two chess pieces, and Su Danian was so happy after winning that he couldn't stop smiling.
Su Mingde saw it clearly and scolded, "Jinzhou, you're letting it go without leaving any trace!"
"Brother Mingde, please don't wrongly accuse me. It's my uncle's chess skills that are superior. I admit defeat."
Su Danian glared at his son with pride, "You're a lousy chess player who's lost three games in a row, so stop talking nonsense. If I win, it means Jinzhou is letting me win. You're as cunning as a needle."
Fu Jinzhou curved his lips and looked at Su Danian, his eyes calm and firm.
"Uncle," he began, his voice low, "I want to ask you for my family's household registration book."
Su Danian's hand holding the water cup paused slightly, and the smile on his face froze.
He didn't seem to quite understand what Fu Jinzhou meant, or rather, he couldn't believe what he heard.
Fu Jinzhou paused, then met Su Danian's inquiring gaze and said solemnly, word by word, "I want to register for marriage with Su Li..."
"Bang!"
Su Danian didn't hold the enamel cup firmly in his hand, and it fell straight to the ground.
The water in the quilt splashed all over the floor, soaking his slippers.
The mood that had just calmed down a little because his daughter found her biological parents was now like a lake surface where a huge rock was thrown into, stirring up huge waves again.
Looking at Fu Jinzhou, his eyes were extremely complicated.
There was joy, the relief that my daughter had finally found a reliable home.
There are also worries that are so strong that they cannot be dissolved.
The shadow left by Shao Ting'an's marriage was so deep that he couldn't help but feel terrified when he thought of his daughter getting married again.
What’s more, the Fu family didn’t agree in the first place!
Fu Jinzhou looked at the emotions surging in Su Danian's eyes and clearly understood all his unspoken words.
He knew what Su Danian was worried about.
He straightened his back, met Su Danian's scrutinizing gaze, and said firmly, "Uncle, I know what you're worried about."
"Don't worry, I've decided to be with Su Li for the rest of my life."
"I won't let her suffer any of the pain she went through before."
"I will use everything I have to protect her, love her, and give her a stable home."
"My family's opinions have softened somewhat. Out of moral obligation, I promised them that I would achieve results within two years and give them my freedom to marry. But now that I know Su Li's background, all my concerns are gone. So this time, no matter who it is or what happens, nothing can stop me from being with her."
The power in these words carries an unquestionable strength and commitment.
Su Danian's excitement gradually calmed down.
After a long moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice, each word seeming to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
"Fu Jinzhou..."
This was the first time Su Danian called him by his full name.
"I can give you the household registration booklet."
"But, you have to remember this clearly!"
Su Danian's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, with the determination of an old father who is willing to give up everything.
"Su Li is my lifeblood!"
"You made a promise in front of me today, so I'll believe you this time."
"But if one day in the future, you dare to let her suffer the slightest injustice, dare to bully her..."
His skinny hands clenched into fists, and veins popped out on the back of his hands.
"Don't even mention that you saved my life. Even if you were the king of heaven, I, Su Danian... would definitely seek justice for my daughter even if it cost me my life!"
