Chapter 373 The Reason for the Marriage Contract
Shen Ziming thought for a moment. The high-precision weapons and equipment developed by the research institute team were about to be unveiled. The first people to know about the research institute would definitely be the people in the military.
He told his parents that telling them the professor's name wouldn't have any impact.
He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the professor shares the same surname as my second sister-in-law; his name is Jiang Hao'an."
Suddenly, Mother Shen grabbed Father Shen's arm, quite excited, "Bingting, it really is him."
Seeing his parents' reaction, Shen Ziming looked surprised and asked, "Mom and Dad, do you know Professor Jiang?"
With a smile on her face, Chen's mother turned to look at Jiang Ning, "If it really is the Jiang Hao'an we know, then Ning Ning should be the one who knows him best."
When the topic suddenly turned to herself, Jiang Ning, a bystander, was taken aback.
Considering the name they just mentioned, could they be referring to... the original owner's father?
While she was silent, she was trying hard to recall the plot. In the later part of the novel, whenever the female protagonist Jiang Ting encountered some difficulties, the female protagonist's halo would always descend to help her solve her problems.
And the original owner's father was one of them.
The father who disappeared when the female protagonist was just a few years old turned out to be a researcher who made great contributions to the country.
When Jiang Ting encountered difficulties, Jiang Haoan's appearance was very timely.
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.
Jiang Ting, the female protagonist who was facing difficulties, suddenly had a researcher father who appeared out of nowhere.
Jiang Haoan made great contributions to the country's research cause, and he was someone that even the higher-ups had to protect.
With Jiang Haoan's arrival, Jiang Ting's entire family rose to prominence, and her path became smooth sailing.
The female lead's father felt very sorry for leaving his children when they were still very young, and he would help her with whatever she wanted to do.
This kind of satisfying storyline is indeed quite enjoyable, but she discovered a bug.
Jiang Haoan didn't appear before the female lead Jiang Ting's rebirth, but he appeared right after Jiang Ting's rebirth.
This is clearly a huge plot hole.
However, everyone was so engrossed in reading that no one bothered to notice the bug.
The original Jiang Ning was just a cannon fodder NPC who gave the female protagonist a reason to get rich.
She barely appears in the subsequent descriptions.
After reading the novel, she really wanted to strangle the author through the internet.
How could someone as selfish as Jiang Ting be the female lead? I really don't know what the author was thinking.
Now that the original owner's father has appeared, the female protagonist must have encountered something that requires this researcher father to solve.
She thought about it carefully. Instead of starting a business and getting rich according to the novel's plot, Jiang Ting joined the performing arts troupe. It felt like the plot had gone astray.
Being in a performing arts troupe is considered a good career path these days, and Jiang Ting shouldn't encounter any difficulties there.
So what role will Jiang Haoan's appearance play?
According to the typical novel trope, those who oppose the female lead never end up well.
Throughout her journey, she had very few opportunities to interact with Jiang Ting, but this seemingly fragile woman just couldn't stand that she was doing better than her.
Being reborn as the female lead's cannon fodder sister is truly the worst luck imaginable.
The only saving grace was that she married Shen Mo as soon as she entered this body.
Currently, her path is moving in a positive direction.
Everyone in the room noticed that Jiang Ning hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Ningning," Mother Shen called out to her, "You probably don't remember what your father looks like, do you?"
Jiang Ning, snapping out of her reverie, hummed in agreement and said calmly, "He disappeared when we were very young, so I really don't have any memory of him."
Seeing her daughter-in-law's indifferent expression when her father was mentioned, Mother Shen couldn't help but sigh.
As researchers, we all have unavoidable reasons for being forced to leave our families.
Back then, she also spent little time with her children.
Between the country and the family, you can only choose one.
Jiang Haoan chose the country and abandoned his family.
No matter whose perspective you take, outsiders have no right to criticize anyone.
It's understandable if children resent such a father, because from a child's perspective, the father's disappearance lasts for many years.
Even if there is a reason, to a child, this is still abandonment.
Mother Shen grasped Jiang Ning's hand and comforted her, "Ningning, back then, the country was in dire need of rebuilding and needed researchers like your father. Don't blame him."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Mom, I don't blame him, I just feel very unfamiliar with him."
She is no longer the original owner of this body, and the mention of her family doesn't stir any emotion in her heart.
There is only regret for the original owner.
Regardless, she is no longer the original owner of this body, so why should she have any further entanglement with the original owner's family?
In this world, she has no family ties and doesn't know how to get along with her relatives.
She's always moving forward, so why worry about so much?
As long as Jiang Ting doesn't come to her and cause any trouble.
Speaking of this, Mr. and Mrs. Shen suddenly brought up the marriage agreement again.
Only now did Jiang Ning realize how her engagement to Shen Mo came about.
Jiang Haoan was Shen Mu's junior classmate. He had a high aptitude for physics when he was studying. After getting married and having children, he received a call from the country, hoping that he could choose to study abroad and bring back new technologies for the country.
Jiang Haoan naturally chose to go abroad. When he went abroad, he was sent abroad by Shen Bingting, who was still serving in the military at the time.
There were some dangers along the way, and by a twist of fate, he accidentally saved Shen Bingting.
Shen Bingting was a soldier and deeply valued the life-saving grace.
That's how the marriage contract came about.
The Shen family naturally always remembered this kindness, and the only one who was the right age for her was Shen Mo.
They calculated that Jiang Haoan's child was of marriageable age and immediately demanded that Shen Mo fulfill the marriage agreement.

This incident didn't cause much of a stir for Jiang Ning.
Shen's parents were concerned about when they could see Jiang Hao'an.
However, it will take some time for advanced weaponry to be available, and the news has not yet been reported, so they will not be able to see Jiang Haoan for the time being.
Jiang Ning returned from Hucheng just as the school was on summer vacation, so she didn't have to go to school anymore, and she was in a good mood.
When Dean Kong learned about what happened to Jiang Ning and the others in Hucheng, he immediately gave them a few days off.
Even with a vacation, Jiang Ning didn't stay idle.
During her time in Hucheng, Huang Xiaodong had already obtained the trademark registration.
Now that we have the trademark and business license, Dexingtang can open in the city center.
Huang Xiaodong was unsure about finding a shop, so he asked Jiang Ning to help him look for one.
Jiang Ning had nothing to do these past few days, so she agreed.
Finally, she and Huang Xiaodong found a shop of over 200 square meters in the Second Ring Road area, not too big or too small, just right for opening a pharmacy.
They negotiated the price with the homeowner and finally bought it for five thousand.
Huang Xiaodong has saved a lot of money over the years, so he didn't feel the pinch at all when he took out five thousand.
In the past, he might have felt bad about spending that little bit of money, but now he realizes that if he doesn't take a longer-term view...
The prescription that Sister Ning gave him will one day be lost.
Only when you become strong can you protect these things.
Once the pharmacy was secured, Huang Xiaodong began preparing for its renovation.
He handled all the work, from contacting workers to bricklayers.
Jiang Ning originally wanted to invest in opening a pharmacy, but Huang Xiaodong flatly refused to accept her money.
He owes his current success to the whitening cream and the three-white cream prescriptions that Jiang Ning gave him back then, which enabled him to open this pharmacy. Moreover, Jiang Ning had saved his grandfather in a critical moment.
These debts of gratitude will never be forgotten.
He discussed it with Jiang Ning, and the prescription would be her technology as equity investment.
After discussing it, the two signed a contract.
The contract was implemented.
From now on, no matter how much income the pharmacy generates, Jiang Ning only needs to sit and collect the money as before.
