"You don't know, but Zeng Weiwei and I have been classmates since junior high. Maybe it's because our personalities don't match, but we've never gotten along. We're sworn enemies, you could say. If I really accepted you, then our family would have no peace in the future! Every day would be either quarrels or the silent treatment, and maybe even a physical fight! By then, our house would be a mess and a turmoil."
After hearing her say this, Yu Wenlin liked Shanhu even more.
"Coral, don't worry about these."
Zeng Qiang frowned, thinking to himself about the recent difficult case. The other party seemed to use all means to try to enter his home.
At this sensitive moment, if he admits that Coral is his goddaughter, it may cause certain interference and impact on the case-solving work.
What is even more worrying is that doing so may pose a potential threat to the life safety of corals.
After all, the opponents are so cunning and difficult to deal with. Once they realize the special relationship between Shanhu and Zeng Qiang, they may turn their target to Shanhu and use her to threaten or achieve other ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, Zeng Qiang couldn't help feeling uneasy.
He slowly said, "Wenlin, what the child said makes sense. Let's take care of our family affairs first, and then it won't be too late to recognize him. It will also give the child some time to recover."
When Yu Wenlin heard what her husband said, she thought of Zeng Weiwei at home, who was always a troublemaker, and she felt a headache.
"Shanhu, let's put the recognition of your biological parents on hold for now. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to us at any time. We will do our best to help you solve it. As for the matter of your biological parents, your great uncle will find a way."
Little did they know that their promise would actually come true. That was a year later. Zeng Qiang went to the base to investigate a case and happened to meet a specialist working there. This man turned out to be Shanhu's biological father. We'll talk about this later!
Without further ado, let’s get back to the topic.
After hearing Zeng Qiang's words, Shanhu's heart was like ripples on the calm surface of a lake, and she felt an indescribable emotion.
Before this, she had never heard such heartwarming words in her adoptive family, especially her adoptive mother, who was cold to her all day long and only showed a hypocritical smile on her face when she handed in her salary.
The words of the two elders before her were like a spring breeze, gradually melting her long-cold heart. At this moment, her heart was filled with excitement and joy, her eyes could not help but become moist, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would roll down at any moment.
She tried hard to hold back her tears, but the strong emotions surged into her heart like a tide.
At this time, a nurse came in and urged Shanhu, "Mr. Wu in Ward 10 is asking you to give him an injection."
Shanhu asked back, "Xiaolin, can't you fight?"
"If I could be beaten, I wouldn't come to you."
"Okay! I'll go take a look."
Shanhu said hello to Zeng Qiang and his wife, then left with the nurse.
Zeng Qiang watched the two people leave and went to close the door of the ward.
He sat quietly beside Yu Wenlin's bed, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.
Yu Wenlin looked at her husband and said, "Lao Zeng, do you have something to say?"
He nodded and slowly said, "I just received a message from above, asking me to find a letter about an important person looking for his daughter. The information provided in this letter is highly consistent with Coral's situation."
Lying on the bed, Yu Wenlin listened to his words with a surprised expression on her face. She opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
"Lao Zeng, is this true? Why didn't you tell Shanhu about this news? Let the child be happy..."
"Hush, keep your voice down. This matter is confidential, and we are still investigating. Due to this person's special identity, it must not be made known to outsiders. It is top secret. Therefore, no word can be leaked until the matter is fully investigated."
"In short, no matter what, we must treat her well and absolutely not make any mistakes. You only need to know about Wenlin's matter, and don't tell anyone else. Our family situation is a bit complicated right now. Zeng Weiwei brought a marriage partner and insisted on living in our house..."
When Yu Wenlin heard Zeng Qiang's words, he was shocked and made a stop gesture. He said, "Old Zeng, wait a minute, Zeng Weiwei has someone to marry? How come I didn't know about this?"
"It's about your time in the hospital."
"How is this possible?"
"Listen to me now. Don't be angry, and don't reject Zeng Weiwei too much. Just maintain your original attitude. Follow my instructions."
Yu Wenlin understood the meaning of her husband's words and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zeng Qiang comforted Yu Wenlin and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of Zeng Weiwei's matter."
"Lao Zeng, have you agreed to let him live in your house?"
Zeng Qiang said, "Well, I agree."
"Aren't you inviting a wolf into the house?"
"Don't be afraid, I have arrangements for this."
At this moment, both of them were silent.
At this moment, Yu Wenlin was completely shocked by the news that Zeng Weiwei was about to get married. Her mind was blank and she fell into a trance. Even her body began to tremble slightly involuntarily.
Zeng Qiang, who was standing by, was very worried when he saw this situation. He quickly reached out to support Yu Wenlin, carefully laid her down on the bed, and gently covered her with a quilt, hoping that this would make her feel more comfortable.
Yu Wenlin was just about to close his eyes when he suddenly remembered something important and his expression became a little solemn.
"Lao Zeng, you must not forget Nannan's matter!" His voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and worry.
When Lao Zeng heard Yu Wenlin's words, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "How could that be? I've always remembered it. I will never forget what happened to Nannan."
Yu Wenlin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Lao Zeng's answer, but he couldn't help but remind him, "Nannan's passing is the heartache I'll carry for the rest of my life. We've let her down."
"Wenlin, don't say that. It's my responsibility, not yours."
"Lao Zeng, you must find her..."
Lao Zeng nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, Nannan will definitely come back as long as I am here."
"I'm sure you'll do it."
Zeng Qiang looked at the frail Yu Wenlin, feeling distressed and worried. He knew that Yu Wenlin had been worried about Nannan.
He gently stroked her hand, feeling the coldness on it, and his heart ached.
Zeng Qiang thought that it was necessary to tell his wife about the progress of the investigation so that she could focus on her treatment.
So, he said softly, "Wenlin, there is some progress on Nannan's matter."
When Yu Wenlin heard this, he instantly became energetic, as if a long drought had finally ended and a glimmer of light appeared in his originally dull eyes.
