At seven o'clock in the morning in New Zealand, Xiang Zhilan woke up just in time for the maid to bring in breakfast.
Even during her postpartum confinement, Xiang Zhilan couldn't stand the old tradition of not being able to wash her hair or brush her teeth for a month. Although she was currently required by her doctor to stay in bed, she still maintained her personal hygiene.
The Luo family's servants were very well trained. Every day, they would quietly bring her toiletries so she could rinse her mouth and wash her face in bed. Every three days, someone would dry-shampoo her hair.
I had a very comfortable postpartum period; the treatment of wealthy women in Europe and America is probably no better than this.
There are also dedicated staff to prepare postpartum meals every day, with different dishes, and they won't be the kind of greasy stewed pig's trotters or anything like that.
Although she had lost a lot of blood and hadn't recovered yet, her chin had already become noticeably rounder.
Xiang Zhilan thought that after sitting through this month of confinement, she would probably be even fatter than before she gave birth, except for her belly, of course.
She is a very easygoing person. When she was brought here by Grandpa Luo, she was not used to it at first, but she knew that staying here was the best for her and her child, so she settled in and enjoyed everything she could. She didn't want to mistreat herself and her child.
Shen Muzhi would never have imagined that she would be kidnapped halfway through. Even if he had figured out her escape route, it would be useless. If he searched for a while longer and still couldn't find her, he would probably give up.
It's good that she and her child can live in New Zealand. It's known as God's backyard, with mild summers and winters. Except for the occasional strong wind, it's truly an ideal city to live in.
She later learned that Luo Zhenxian was actually the one who had retired from his position and was now living in seclusion in this city. No one here knew his identity because he was protected by secrets. Therefore, she was not afraid of Shen Muzhi finding her while she was by his side. Even if Shen Muzhi had extraordinary abilities, he could not reach that far.
To be honest, she didn't harbor any hatred towards her grandfather, Luo Zhenxian. After all, her becoming an illegitimate child and being abandoned had nothing to do with him, and he had no idea about it before.
About six months ago, he learned from his son's former cronies that more than twenty years ago, his son Luo Liang had used his power to coerce a wealthy woman in Yihai, and apparently, she had gotten pregnant.
Later, Luo Liang died in a car accident, and his cronies scattered. As for the matter that Luo Liang had mentioned with such pride, they just listened to it casually. After he died, who cared whether it was true or not?
Luo Zhenxian was in a high position back then, only one step away from the top position. He could have been promoted in just one or two years. However, the deaths of his son and wife dealt him a heavy blow, and his health deteriorated as a result.
Then he lost interest in his official career, retired completely, and found a livable city like this to retire.
Although he has retired, the current authorities are still his former subordinates, which shows his special status.
Back then, Luo Zhenxian was focused on his official career and neglected his son's upbringing, which led to his son and his group of cronies becoming increasingly degenerate, even to the point of committing acts like persecuting other men's wives.
Six months ago, he heard that Luo Liang might have left behind an orphan, so he started investigating and gradually found his way to Zhi Lan.
