"Chubby, do you still remember who this is?" Jiang Nian'an opened the door to change her shoes, and heard her father's voice coming from the living room. She couldn't help but have a headache. Her facial features were tangled together. Her fair, delicate, and slightly chubby little face looked very adorable.
Without thinking, just listening to the tone, it was nothing more than her elementary school classmate, junior high school classmate, or someone who lived near the courtyard and she might have met once. I don't know where my father got the energy and time to find those people from the crowd.
Jiang Nian'an looked at the man behind him a little embarrassedly, expressing his apology with his eyes.
Mo Zhen understood that given his background, it was inevitable that Uncle Jiang would oppose him. He was already very tolerant by not using his power to put pressure on him from the military.
In fact, there were still some omissions in the information Jiang Yilu found. After all, those people were not gods who could investigate the life of an ordinary person so clearly.
According to the investigation, it is true that Jiang Nian'an first met Mo Zhen because of a club mission in college, but it is false that Mo Zhen also met Jiang Nian'an at that time. In fact, Mo Zhen already knew of her existence when Jiang Nian'an was still a glutinous rice dumpling.
Mo Xiangfang and Jiang Yilu were childhood friends, and they also had a good relationship with Ruan Ruan. Although their contacts had gradually decreased over the years due to distance, they still had general communication.
Mo Xiangfang's phone still has many photos of Pang Pang from childhood to adulthood. Because she only gave birth to two boys and her husband was a soldier, she couldn't have a second child. Mo Xiangfang envied Ruan Ruan for having a white and tender fat daughter. Sometimes she would show them the photos of the little girl. From her aunt, Mo Zhen learned a lot of interesting things about Jiang Nian'an.
Just like this, in Mo Zhen's heart, she might just be an unfamiliar child of his aunt's friend. But Jiang Nian'an is different. She is the daughter of Jiang Yilu. From childhood to adulthood, this name has always been echoing in Mo Zhen's ears. Unlike his mother who is a negative example, Jiang Yilu's name has always been positive when it appears in the mouths of the villagers.
He was very smart when he was young. At the age of 14, he was admitted to Huaqing University as the top scholar. After the reform and opening up, he started his own business and made a lot of money. He never forgot his hometown. He bought vegetables and grains from the villagers at high prices and invested in road construction. He repaired the mountain road leading to the outside of Qingshan Village, which reduced a lot of trouble for the villagers...
These things were all mentioned repeatedly by the villagers, and at that time, Mo Zhen became curious about this person.
When Mo Zhen first met Jiang Yiliu, he was only two and a half years old. He saw him holding a chubby little girl in his arms, and from what he called her, it was his niece. For the first time, Mo Zhen saw that someone could treat a child so well, not as roughly as the villagers who raised their children. As long as the child didn't starve to death or freeze to death, or got dirty as a loach, it didn't matter. The child in his arms seemed to be the most precious treasure in the world. Listening to him coaxing the child, Mo Zhen thought, if he had a father, he would be like that too.
His envious look attracted their attention. They thought they were attracted by the candy in the little girl's hand, but they didn't know that at that time, they were only looking at the man who was patiently coaxing the child.
At that time, he could not clearly realize that his biological father was an irresponsible and irresponsible man. According to his mother's fantasies and stories day after day, his father should be a person like Jiang Yilu.
Unfortunately, as he got older, he realized that his original thoughts were so ridiculous. In his memory, the image of Jiang Yilu as a good father not only did not fade with the passage of time, but became clearer.
Once, he had a fight with a village kid because that kid called his mother a whore. That time, he was really ruthless and beat those kids who said bad things about his mother until they were bleeding. Of course, he didn't deserve it. But when he returned home with bruises all over his body, he was beaten by his mother for the second time because the parents of those kids came to complain. His mother didn't listen to his explanation and beat him with the cane. After the beating, she cried and taught him not to cause trouble, otherwise they and their mother would not be able to stay in the village. That day, Mo Zhen was really sad.
That night, Mo Zhen hid in his bed and thought, how nice it would be if Jiang Yilu was his father. However, he also knew that this was just wishful thinking.
After leaving the small mountain village and coming to his aunt's house, Mo Zhen's life had changed unprecedentedly. Although the names did not change, in his heart, he had a mother and a father again, but the father's personality was completely different from Jiang Yiliu's. At that time, Mo Zhen seldom thought of him until he heard about Jiang Nian'an and Jiang Niankang from his aunt.
From his aunt's mouth, he heard how much she cherished the children. From the photos, he saw the smiling faces. The man was just as he imagined, a man who treated his children as treasures. Unconsciously, Mo Zhen began to pay attention to him and the two children. Gradually, his eyes shifted from Jiang Yiliu to the chubby little girl who loved to make trouble but always got caught. Mo Zhen thought, if he had a lovely daughter like that, he would also hold her in his hands and take care of her like that man did.
From his aunt's words, he got to know the little girl better and better. Even though they had never met, he knew which brand of chocolate she liked best, that she hated coriander the most, that she liked shrimp but was impatient to peel them, and that if no one helped her, she would rather eat than eat even if there was a full plate in front of her...
In Mo Zhen's heart, Jiang Nian'an has become a very three-dimensional image, although he has never seen her before.
But fate is so magical. During an interview, he actually met the girl who lived in the photos and in his aunt's description.
She was cuter than her aunt's description, her smile was sweeter than the little girl in the photo, and her voice, to Mo Zhen's ears, was more beautiful than that of a lark.
For the first time, Mo Zhen did something against his will. He saw the increasingly infatuated look in An An's eyes. He despised himself but couldn't escape. He knew that he was not worthy of that girl. She was Jiang Yiliu's daughter, and he was just a small officer. Their family backgrounds were not compatible, and their ages were not suitable. He was eleven years older than An An. When he was old, she was still young.
But Mo Zhen was still selfish. He couldn't let go of the girl who occupied too much time in his life. After much struggle, he still chose to be with her.
Mo Zhen looked at the little girl in front of him with an apologetic look in his eyes. He didn't know how long she could hold on in this war of separation with her parents, but he knew that this period of time might be the happiest time in his life.
If Jiang Yilu, who was sitting in the living room and chatting and laughing with a tall young man, knew that he was the one who seduced the wolf first, he would probably regret it to death.
"An An." Jiang Yilu saw that his daughter had not come over for such a long time, so he stood up and walked to the entrance. When he saw Mo Zhen standing behind Jiang Nian'an, his face changed.
"Dad——" Jiang Nian'an's tone of voice was so twisted that Jiang Yiliu's bones were almost softened. Unable to bear to get angry with his daughter, Jiang Yiliu could only glare at Mo Zhen and said unhappily, "Since you are here, come in."
After saying that, he turned and went in.
"You see, my dad is a tough guy with a soft heart. He's actually very easy to appease. Once I persuade him a little more, he will definitely agree to our relationship." Jiang Nian'an had a smug look on his face, and his rosy pink lips were like jelly, making people want to take a bite.
Mo Zhen's eyes darkened as he realized that they were at the Jiang family, so he let the little girl go for the time being.
"Fatty, do you still remember who this is? He fought for you in kindergarten." Jiang Nian'an and Mo Zhen came over. Jiang Yilu pointed at a sturdy young man sitting on a chair and said, as if he hadn't seen Mo Zhen.
"You, you are chocolate." The shadow of a little boy immediately emerged in Jiang Nian'an's mind. The box of chocolates that he gave to Shou Shou ended up in his stomach. It was a pity that maybe because it had been left in the car for too long, some of it melted slightly and the taste was not so good. Of course, Jiang Nian'an was not picky and still ate it with relish.
Unfortunately, the boy who left a deep impression on her never showed up again. It was said that he transferred to another school because of his father's work arrangement.
"You're a little black girl."
Jiang Wenqing was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the little black girl back then would grow up to be quite pretty.
Jiang Nian'an didn't react at all, but Jiang Yilu was already unhappy. What kind of nickname is that? Is that boy blind? His daughter is white, plump and pretty, how can she be related to black?
"Instructor Mo——" Jiang Wenqing hadn't recovered from the joy of her childhood playmate when she saw the man standing behind her like a mountain. Feeling Mo Zhen's gaze on him, Jiang Wenqing's radars all sounded the alarm. You know, in the army, Mo Zhen was a well-known phobia. His father threw him under Mo Zhen's command just to hone his skills. The result was also in line with his father's requirements. When he saw Mo Zhen now, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Before he even made a move, he felt pain all over his body.
"I suddenly remembered that I have a mission today. Uncle Jiang, I'll leave first."
How could Jiang Wenqing not see the current situation clearly? Without waiting for Jiang Yilu's answer, he ran away, leaving the three of them staring at each other in amazement.
Jiang Yilu was almost suffocated. When he was a child, he thought that boy was very capable, but how come he has become so timid now? Is he still a man?
*****
Afterwards, Jiang Yilu used various methods to find many blind dates for his daughter, but they always failed for various reasons. In the end, Jiang Yilu no longer hated Mo Zhen, but was simply angry.
His beloved daughter is gone, and yet he, as her father-in-law, is not allowed to feel jealous.
At the very end, Jiang Yilu finally gave in. At the wedding, he took his daughter's hand and handed her to Mo Zhen. When he saw her smiling happily at another man, Jiang Yilu knew that from that day on, his daughter's happiness would no longer come from her father, but would be given by that man and their future children.
Ruan Ruan patted her husband's hand. Jiang Yilu turned his head and looked at his wife who was no longer young. They smiled at each other. Their children had their own happiness, and they also had each other's company.
