In October 2000, Wang Muyao and Lu Xingyun gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
After they got married, they have been living in Shenzhen, in the same residential complex where Lu Xingyun lived before, but this is not the one Lu Xingyun lived in before he got married.
Instead, it is another large apartment in a different building in the same community.
It was only after marriage that Wang Muyao found out that Lu Xingyun's family background was even more impressive than she had imagined.
Their wedding house was a real estate project invested by Ye Zhi and her uncle, and the wedding dress and evening gown she wore were both contracted by the clothing brand founded by Ye Zhi. After they got married, Ye Zhi gave her a huge sum of money, saying that they had no one to take care of them in Shenzhen, and asked her to hire two nannies.
Wang Muyao thought that with so much money, she could even hire a royal butler, let alone a nanny.
And Lu Wei is actually the commander-in-chief of the Qiongzhou Military Region. Each one is more jaw-dropping than the other.
However, what shocked Wang Muyao even more was that when the twins were one month old, the children's great-grandfather and great-grandmother came all the way from Beijing to Shenzhen.
When Wang Muyao saw Lu Xiangqian, she was shocked for a long time. She pulled Lu Xingyun and whispered, "Lu Xingyun, why didn't you tell me that the child's great grandfather and great grandmother were actually..."
During the National Day, Wang Muyao saw them on TV.
Lu Xingyun held Wang Muyao's hand and said with a smile, "My grandfather retired a long time ago and doesn't take care of things anymore. He is just an ordinary old man."
He comforted her, "Wife, believe me, you are better than you think, and our family loves you."
Lu Xiangqian and Shen Nanzhen are now nearly eighty years old. They had planned to go to Qiongzhou Island to attend Lu Xingyun's wedding last year, but Lu Xiangqian happened to have a minor surgery for gastric polyps and did not come.
Now that their child is born, the two elders still took a plane south to see their great-grandchildren.
Everyone liked Wang Muyao very much when they met her for the first time.
Ye Zhi, in particular, was full of praise for her daughter-in-law.
She hadn't made clothes for a long time, but when they got married, she made a complete wedding dress and suit with Aunt Chen Fang.
Wang Muyao was still a little uncomfortable and muttered, "You should have told me earlier."
Lu Xingyun said: "Tell you earlier, and then ignore me forever?"
Wang Muyao smiled and said, "No, I want to push you down earlier so that I can avoid ten years of detours."
Lu Xingyun pinched her cheek and said, "You'd better think so."
Ye Zhi over there picked up her twin granddaughters, looked at the babies' tender faces, and said with emotion: "Lu Wei, we are actually grandparents now."
When Ye Zhi holds her child, she always feels that she is still young.
The scenes of her childbearing years seem still vivid in her mind, but now, she is a grandmother.
Time is really unforgiving.
Lu Weize held his grandson with a look of disdain and snorted, "Wife, do you think we are still young? I should retire in a few years."
Ye Zhi has no idea about retirement, she has already started living a retired life.
The two held the children and looked at them again and again. Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Our daughter-in-law is a recommended student who skipped a grade at Hua University, and Xingyun is the provincial champion. You can imagine how smart these two children will be in the future."
Lu Wei originally disliked the brat a little, but there is a qualitative difference between a grandson and a son, and it turns out that grandparents’ affection is real.
The child was sweet and soft, holding up his two little fists, very well-behaved, not crying or making a fuss.
Lu Wei looked at the children sleeping soundly and said softly, "I think they will grow up to be very beautiful in the future."
Ye Zhi nodded: "That's true. I think your son has inherited your genes, he is attracted by beauty."
Lu Weiyi listened and sighed: "Comrade Ye Zhi, you are wrong to say that. It is so ugly to be attracted by beauty. I fell in love at first sight!"
Ye Zhi glanced at him and said, "You agreed to the marriage because I'm pretty."
Then she thought for a moment and said, "I guess you went to Xitang Town to break off the engagement."
Lu Wei: “…”
I have to say, his wife’s guess was pretty accurate.
It turns out that nothing can be hidden from one's wife.
Lu Wei: "Then you must have married me because I'm handsome."
He still has some confidence about this.
Ye Zhi smiled: "That's not the case."
Lu Wei: “???”
Ye Zhi laughed and joked, "I want to eat seafood."
Lu Wei: “…”
“I’ve been eating it for so many years and I’m still not tired of it.”
Ye Zhi: "It can last another fifty years."
Lu Wei: "Okay, okay, okay. Then I'll have the guards prepare seafood dinners for you every day."
After returning to Qiongzhou Island from Shenzhen, Ye Zhi's life became peaceful again.
In 2001, 24-year-old Lu Zhixia went to Europe to continue her studies in fine arts, and the first movie in which Lu Zhiqiu participated was released during the winter vacation.
Because Lu Zhiqiu insisted on developing his career in the entertainment industry, he and Lu Wei were in a cold war for a whole year.
It was not until the movie was released that Lu Wei was dragged by Ye Zhi to the cinema to watch it.
At the end of the movie, many viewers remembered a female knight in the film, and mentioned the name "Lu Zhiqiu" and praised her acting skills.
Ye Zhi took Lu Wei's arm and slowly walked out of the screening room. "Look, everyone speaks highly of your daughter."
Lu Wei snorted: "There are so many things you can do in the film industry. Can you be a screenwriter, work behind the scenes, or be a director? Why do you have to be a star?"
Ye Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "You know your daughter has loved beauty since she was young. When she was young, she loved to wear my skirts and high heels to play house. She played Yang Guifei, Hua Mulan, the female generals of the Yang family... I said An An liked acting since she was young, and now she is just realizing her dream."
Lu Wei's expression eased a little. When he walked out of the movie, he looked back. The movie in which Lu Zhiqiu participated was placed right in the center, and the movie poster was also the largest one.
In the upper left corner of the poster, Lu Zhiqiu is shown with his hair half loose, holding a sword in one hand and looking forward. Her eyes are sharp and full of cold murderous intent, and the image of a heroic female hero is portrayed vividly.
Lu Wei sighed softly: "There is a cold front in the north, call her and ask her to put on more clothes."
Ye Zhi smiled and replied, "I understand."
Lu Wei is just stubborn. He has read the entertainment section of newspapers, which he never read before, almost tore it apart in recent months.
In April of the following year, Lu Zhiqiu was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden X Awards for her role in a movie.
It is amazing for a newcomer to achieve such an achievement.
Anyway, Ye Zhi was very happy and proud of her daughter.
Lu Zhiqiu made a special trip back to Qiongzhou Island and asked him to design a red carpet dress for her to attend the awards ceremony, and also said that he would help her promote her clothing brand.
Of course Ye Zhi was happy to do so.
Although her clothing business is almost all over the world, it would be great if she could have another high-end ready-to-wear line.
After being idle for so long, Ye Zhi finally has something to do. She is eager to buy all the dresses her daughter will wear on the red carpet in the future.
Lu Zhiqiu hugged Ye Zhi and asked, "Mom, will my dad come back tonight? Is he still angry with me?"
Ye Zhi smiled: "Who said I was angry with you? I was just unhappy that you didn't call him for so long. Every time you call, you always ask: Dad, where is my mom?"
Lu Zhiqiu chuckled: "Isn't this because I miss you?"
Ye Zhi waved her hand: "Okay, next time if your dad answers the phone, you can chat with him."
Lu Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Yes, Commander!"
When Lu Zhiqiu walked on the red carpet of the award ceremony wearing the dress designed by Ye Zhi, she immediately attracted countless eyes.
Ye Zhi and Lu Wei even stayed in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast. When they saw their daughter holding the sparkling trophy on the screen, their eyes became red.
Lu Wei turned his head and said to Ye Zhi: "My daughter looks like you, pretty."
Ye Zhi nodded proudly: "That's it."
"Also like you, tall."
Lu Wei raised his chin proudly: "That's it."
2003.
Lu Xingzhou is thirty years old and still a bachelor.
But what surprised him was that his parents had never urged him to get married.
He went back during the Chinese New Year and asked about it, but Lu Wei ignored him and said, "It's up to you whether you want to get married or not."
Ye Zhi also responded in the same way: "It's your business whether you get married or not. You can survive alone."
Strange, so strange.
Lu Xingzhou felt itchy. He used to feel a little annoyed by his parents’ supervision. Now that they don’t care anymore, he felt even more annoyed!
What a shame.
Lu Xingzhou thought about it for a month and decided to find a girlfriend.
But when he wanted to find a girlfriend, he found that finding a partner was more difficult than occupying the enemy's headquarters.
Lu Xingzhou found that no one wanted him.
He ran to Ye Zhi again in shame and complained, "Mom, how did you and Dad get married?"
Ye Zhi: "Ah? Why are you asking this?"
Ye Zhi thought about it, and although it was a little difficult to say, she still answered truthfully: "It was a childhood marriage, it was arranged by your great grandfather."
Lu Xingzhou frowned, and Ye Zhi thought he was going to complain about his parents' feudal ignorance.
Who knew that Lu Xingzhou would wail the next second: "Mom, why didn't you arrange a marriage for me when I was a child?"
Ye Zhi: “???”
She looked at the calendar on the wall. Has it really been the 21st century?
Why do some people still engage in child marriage?
Ye Zhiquan thought that her son was going crazy.
2005.
Lu Zhixia's solo painting exhibition was held in Hong Kong.
Because Lu Wei's identity was sensitive, Ye Zhi and he did not go to Hong Kong to attend the child's painting exhibition.
However, Lu Xingyun and his wife, Lu Xingzhou, and Lu Zhiqiu all went.
Lu Zhiqiu is very famous now. He was photographed from the front by paparazzi as soon as he appeared at the art exhibition, which also brought popularity to Lu Zhixia's art exhibition.
Ye Zhi unpacked a painting sent from Hong Kong, then she and Lu Wei found a location, drilled a hole, and hung the painting.
The two looked at the paintings on the wall and said, "I didn't expect Pingping to become famous through his paintings."
Lu Wei patted the dust off his hands and said, "Of course, don't you see whose daughter she is?"
Ye Zhi chuckled: "Yes, yes, yes, who else could it be if not Commander Lu's daughter?"
Then Ye Zhi said, "By the way, take me to Lucheng tomorrow so I can see how the decoration is going."
She bought a piece of land in Lucheng a long time ago, but it had been left unbuilt. She was planning to live there after Lu Wei retired, so she never started construction. Now it’s almost done.
Lu Wei responded readily: "Okay, we'll go tomorrow."
