Chapter 390 Door-to-Door Visit
Jiang Ning had just finished talking with Dean Kong when Shen Mo, who had completed his physical examination, came to pick her up.
Jiang Ning led Le Zhi and Nan Xing away.
Unexpectedly, when leaving the hospital, they ran into Lin Yufei and Jiang Ting, who were also there for a physical examination and prenatal checkup.
Accompanying them to the hospital was a middle-aged man and Wang Lihua, whom Jiang Ning had only met once when she first arrived.
Wang Lihua stared blankly at Jiang Ning.
It took Wang Lihua a while to react. She hurried over and grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, "Xiao Ning."
Jiang Ning felt no sense of belonging to the original owner's family; she simply looked at her indifferently.
Wang Lihua knew that the decision to leave her second daughter alone in the countryside so that her son could continue his studies had broken her heart.
But she always thought about this daughter.
So many years have passed since they parted ways at the train station. She wonders how Jiang Ning is doing.
All she knew was that the other person was a soldier, so she figured he wouldn't mistreat Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning pulled her hand away from Wang Lihua's palm.
"Xiao Ning?" Jiang Haoan walked over, looking at Jiang Ning, and then asked Wang Lihua, "Wife, is she our other daughter?"
Wang Lihua nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Hao'an."
Jiang Haoan looked at her and said, "Xiao Ning, I'm your father."
Jiang Ning remained silent. She wasn't the original owner of this body and had no feelings for this family. They immediately asked her to call them Mom and Dad, but she really couldn't bring herself to do it.
However, this body's bloodline is inextricably linked to the Jiang family.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Jiang Haoan said, "Xiao Ning, I know that you all resented me during the years that your father disappeared, but now that your father is back, I will definitely make it up to you in the future."
Shen Mo, who was standing to the side, also figured it out.
He still remembered the fact that his parents had mentioned his wife's father was a researcher.
It seems that the person standing in front of me is Professor Jiang, whom my brother mentioned.
This was also the first time Jiang Ning had met this father she had never met before, and she didn't know how to approach them.
To her, the Jiang family and she were strangers with blood ties.
It's too awkward to call someone "Mom" or "Dad" as soon as you meet them.
Finally, Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Haoan with the same attitude she would show a stranger and said, "I don't need your compensation. I'm doing very well now."
Before returning, Jiang Haoan had thought about what it would be like to reunite with his wife and children.
His wife burst into tears the moment she saw him, and his eldest daughter recognized him immediately, hugging him and affectionately calling him "Dad."
But the second daughter alone treated him with such indifference, as if he were a stranger.
This contrast left him feeling somewhat disappointed.
Actually, Shen Mo also felt that the meeting was a bit rushed and abrupt, but he was much more accepting of it than Jiang Ning.
When he saw that his wife didn't know how to talk to her suddenly appearing father, he knew it was his turn to step in.
Shen Mo took a step forward, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "Dad, I am Shen Mo, Ningning's husband."
Upon hearing Shen Mo's self-introduction, Jiang Haoan's attention fell on Shen Mo. "You're the son of Battalion Commander Shen and Senior Sister Yang Lan?"
Shen Mo nodded.
Dad had mentioned before that when he met Jiang Haoan, Jiang was still a battalion commander.
Looking at Shen Mo's military uniform, he nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the marriage agreement made back then was the right decision.
You can't tell a son-in-law's rank just by looking at his military uniform.
After he was able to leave the research institute, the first person he contacted was his wife. His wife told him that their eldest daughter was now working in a performing arts troupe, so he rushed to the troupe.
Then he went back to his hometown with Jiang Ting to find his wife and son.
But there was still no news of the second daughter, and the wife hadn't contacted her for several years, so the matter was dropped.
After returning to the capital, he planned to go find Senior Sister Yang Lan first, but unexpectedly he ran into them at the hospital.
"Good, you're strong, not bad." Jiang Haoan patted Shen Mo's arm.
After Jiang Haoan finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Ning and said gently, "Xiao Ning, you can tell Daddy what you want. Daddy has money now and can buy it for you. Or we can go to the post office now and Daddy will get the money for you."
Just as Jiang Ning was about to speak, Jiang Ting suddenly hugged Jiang Haoan's arm. "Dad, my prenatal checkup is due. I have to go. Don't worry, we have plenty of time to bond with my sister."
When Jiang Ting mentioned prenatal checkups, Jiang Haoan realized that he had come to accompany his daughter and son-in-law for their prenatal and physical examinations.
Moreover, this is the hospital lobby, definitely not a place for talking.
Jiang Haoan looked at Jiang Ning and Shen Mo, and the two children they were holding hands with.
Then, looking up at Jiang Ning's indifferent and emotionless face, he suddenly realized that everything seemed to have changed. He had been secretly researching weapons for so many years and had disappeared for so many years.
He should accept whatever attitude his wife and children have towards him.
Because Jiang Ting kept urging him, Jiang Haoan had no choice but to accompany her to her prenatal checkup first.
Jiang Ning and Shen Mo took the child back to the family compound.
Shen Mo wouldn't say much about his wife's attitude towards her father. Even though they were related by blood, his father had been gone for so many years, and no one would accept it so quickly.
Unless there is an ulterior motive.
The next day, Jiang Haoan suddenly showed up at the door.
Wang Lihua and Jiang Ting also came with Jiang Haoan.
Jiang Ting was wearing a dress, but she was several months pregnant and her figure had become somewhat bloated. She also had a belt around her waist, which looked quite out of place.
This was Jiang Ting's first time visiting Jiang Ning's home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she realized that it was not what she had imagined.
Nowadays, every household prefers to live in apartment buildings. In the past, in the countryside, the houses we lived in were dilapidated mud-brick houses.
She knew that Jiang Ning lived in a courtyard in the family compound, but it wasn't the dilapidated mud-brick house she had imagined. Instead, it was an elegant little courtyard full of flowers and with a unique scenery.
The corner of the wall is covered with climbing roses, and below them are hydrangeas and tulips of various colors.
There are trees and a swing nearby, and a small fishpond and a rockery at the entrance.
There were some weeds she didn't recognize planted in the open space in the yard.
She never expected that an ordinary courtyard could be so beautiful.
Jiang Ning's life was completely different from what she had imagined.
In her past life, and in this life as well, she clearly let Jiang Ning marry Shen Mo, so she should have obediently waited to become a widow. Why is she now living such a good life?
It seems even better than my previous life.
Moreover, even though they are sisters, Jiang Ning's appearance is much more refined and beautiful than hers, and her figure is also better. Even though it's just a simple polyester shirt and trousers, she looks like a celebrity in a calendar when she wears it.
Recently, due to her pregnancy, her skin has deteriorated and she has gained a lot of weight, so when she goes to buy a new dress, she can only buy a plus size.
Her gaze fell on Jiang Ning's face again; her skin was so white it was almost blinding.
She's been using skincare products all these years, but why hasn't her skin reached Jiang Ning's level?
She dressed up especially for this trip to see Jiang Ning with her father.
But she still couldn't compare to Jiang Ning.
