Yu Wenlin felt a little relieved after hearing his daughter's words, but he still felt a little worried. He quickly said, "Nannan! It's precisely because you're a doctor that we're even more worried about you. We weren't able to be with you during your first two pregnancies, and that's always been a regret for us. This time, no matter what, we'll take good care of you. We absolutely can't let you face this alone again. Stop making excuses and let us fulfill our responsibilities as parents."
Seeing that her parents were so insistent, Wang Xiaolan had no choice but to agree.
The next day, Wang Xiaolan took all her documents and ran to the Armed Forces Department and the Civil Affairs Department to complete the formalities. She then hurried home. Just as she was a few steps away from her yard, she heard a noisy sound coming from the yard.
When she heard the voice, it seemed familiar, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She thought: Oh no, someone is causing trouble. There are only my mother and two children at home. Thinking of this, she ran home. As soon as she stepped through the gate of the yard, she saw two familiar people at a glance.
One is Dabao’s biological father Zhu Dayong, and the other is his grandmother Xu Xiaofeng.
When Wang Xiaolan saw the two men, she was furious and shouted at the top of her voice, "What are you two doing here arguing?"
The mother and daughter turned around when they heard the sound and saw Wang Xiaolan. They found that she was more beautiful than before and had a different temperament from others.
The mother and son turned around and looked at Wang Xiaolan. They saw that Wang Xiaolan was more beautiful than before and had a temperament different from ordinary people.
Xu Xiaofeng, in particular, had an expression of disbelief and astonishment on her face. Her eyes were wide open, as if about to pop out of their sockets, as she stared straight at Wang Xiaolan. She thought to herself that she had been desperately trying to curry favor with powerful people, tirelessly searching for a suitable partner for her son. However, she had never expected that her former daughter-in-law, Wang Xiaolan, whom she had always despised and disliked, actually had such a powerful family background!
In comparison, the so-called in-laws that Xu Xiaofeng had previously favored were simply insignificant and could not be compared with them at all. At this moment, Xu Xiaofeng felt extremely regretful. She felt like a fool for missing such a good opportunity in vain. She wished she could turn back time and re-examine Wang Xiaolan and her family.
Thinking of this, she said flatteringly: "Xiao Lan, I was blind and inadvertently persuaded Zhu Dayong to leave you and your son. Now we regret it. Can you reconcile with Dayong as before?"
Wang Xiaolan's face became increasingly gloomy. She stared closely at the shameless mother and son in front of her, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be bursting out.
"Xu Xiaofeng, have you been in prison for too long? Your brain has gone awry?" Wang Xiaolan's voice was cold and stern. "My husband is a glorious soldier, and I'm a retired soldier. How dare you ruin our military marriage? You'll go to jail!"
Her words were like thunder, exploding in the air, causing Xu Xiaofeng and her son to tremble.
However, Xu Xiaofeng was not intimidated by Wang Xiaolan's aura. Instead, she sneered and said, "Huh, jail? I'm not afraid! Because I've been there once, I'm not afraid of going there a second time. Besides, I'm here to see my grandson. Is that illegal?"
Seeing this, Zhu Dayong quickly interrupted and said, "Mom, don't say that. Xiaolan didn't mean it. She might have been excited for a moment. Please don't bother with her."
As he spoke, he gave Wang Xiaolan a pleading look, as if hoping she would keep quiet.
Wang Xiaolan then slowly shifted her gaze to him, only to see that his face was haggard, his eyes dim and lifeless, as if he had been crushed by the burden of life. This decadent look clearly showed that he had experienced many unpleasant things over the years.
Since his divorce from his second wife, Zhu Dayong has lost his support and has found life difficult. He no longer seems to be able to stay at his previous workplace, so he's been forced to change jobs frequently. However, each new job didn't last long, often leaving within a year.
Now, he suddenly came to her house, under the pretext of wanting Dabao. What kind of calculations were hidden in this? Wang Xiaolan was really confused. She couldn't help but wonder what Zhu Dayong's real intention was behind this move.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolan smiled sarcastically and said to Zhu Dayong, "Xu Xiaofeng is getting senile, but you are not old yet! You should still remember the thing you wrote back then!"
When Zhu Dayong heard the other party mention what happened back then, his face instantly turned extremely embarrassed and ashamed, as if he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the other party's eyes, and his voice became low and weak: "Back then...back then I really did let you down."
His tone was filled with regret and self-blame, as if he felt deeply ashamed of his past actions. Then, he raised his head slightly, looked at the other person with an almost pleading look, and continued, "But, for the sake of the child, can you...can you let me take the child back to the Zhu family?"
Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Xu Xiaofeng was furious and shouted, "Dayong, you are a man. There is no need to be humble in front of a woman. Dabao is a member of our Zhu family. It is only natural for us to take him back."
Wang Xiaolan let out a mocking smile, her voice filled with disdain. "Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Xiaofeng, if I remember correctly, you divorced your ex-husband before you went to jail, right? And I heard that your ex-husband had already remarried. So, are you still thinking about remarrying him? Or do you want to be his mistress?"
Xu Xiaofeng's expression instantly turned ugly, and her eyes visibly dodged for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She raised her voice slightly, as if trying to hide her inner uneasiness: "Dayong is my son, that's an indisputable fact! Of course, I have a role in the Zhu family's affairs!"
Wang Xiaolan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. She said, "Since you are so eager to take Dabao back, I can't stop you. However, Dabao is only an elementary school student now. Although he is still young, he is a sensible child. So, I think this matter should be decided by him himself. You may want to go and talk to Dabao in person to see if he is willing to go with you."
When Yu Wenlin heard this, he immediately became anxious and quickly waved his hands and said, "Nannan, this is absolutely not allowed! We must not let them take Dabao away!" There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.
