Chapter 81 How about marrying Qianqian to the second son of the Wen family?
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shanshan told Wen Qianqian with a smug look, "Stop fooling around, he's back."
She said this with a smug look on her face, having accurately grasped Wen Jinzhou's temperament.
Wen Jinzhou was most afraid that his mother would not take him seriously and would be angry with him.
As long as she ignores Wen Jinzhou and treats him coldly, Wen Jinzhou will try his best to fulfill any request she makes.
Sure enough, to this day, Wen Jinzhou is still the same Wen Jinzhou, and has never changed.
Hearing that Wen Jinzhou had returned, Wen Qianqian jumped for joy, hugged Xu Shanshan and kept kissing her cheeks, saying, "Thank you, Mom. Mom is the best. I love Mom the most."
Xu Shanshan enjoyed Wen Qianqian's closeness. "I love our Qianqian the most too," she said, wrapping her arms around Wen Qianqian's head. The two looked like a loving mother and child.
Xie Zhizhi sat in the car for nearly twenty hours and finally arrived in Beijing in the 1980s the next morning.
In order to tell the Wen family the good news as soon as possible, and so that Xie Zhizhi could return to the Wen family as soon as possible, Zhou Lin, Wen Jinzhou and the guard took turns driving along the way, and finally arrived in Beijing the next morning.
Beijing was also very lively in the 1980s.
Bicycles come and go on the wide road, and cars also whiz by.
As Xie Zhizhi passed through a market, the aroma of breakfast stalls made her stomach rumble.
Wen Changyu immediately looked at her and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Jinzhou, pull over and let your sister have something to eat first."
Wen Jinzhou found a place to park. "Actually, I'm hungry too."
Wen Changyu then complained to him, "You've only driven for so long, and you're still hungry?"
Wen Jinzhou: "You can't say that!"
Because Xie Zhizhi and the others got off the bus to have breakfast and were delayed, Xu Shanshan also took Wen Qianqian out after breakfast.
She took Wen Qianqian to see her biological father, Wang Jinghui.
Wang Jinghui lives in a hutong (traditional alleyway) in Beijing and works as a workshop director in a paper mill.
He was on leave today, so Xu Shanshan decided to take Wen Qianqian to see him, mainly because she had good news to tell him.
Wen Qianqian knew that Wang Jinghui was her biological father; she had known this since she was a child.
However, both Xu Shanshan and Wang Jinghui had told her not to tell anyone, especially not the Wen family, so no one knew about these things.
Xu Shanshan led Wen Qianqian to see Wang Jinghui. She brought a lot of good things that the army specially supplied to the Wen family from home. She also went to the market and bought a lot of meat, vegetables and fruit before leading Wen Qianqian into the alley.
Wen Qianqian went up and knocked on the door, "Knock knock~"
The door opened, and a strange middle-aged man came out of the room.
Wen Qianqian sized up the man, and the man sized up Wen Qianqian in return, then turned and walked past Wen Qianqian and Xu Shanshan, quickly leaving the alley.
Wang Jinghui followed closely behind and came out of the house. Wang Jinghui is forty-seven years old this year. She does not do heavy physical work and has never worked hard to take care of children, so she looks very young.
He was indeed good-looking; although he was over forty, his fair skin made him look quite handsome.
Wen Qianqian doesn't look like him at all, because Wang Jinghui not only has a delicate face, but also a slender figure, making him look like a schoolteacher.
Xu Shanshan liked his refined and gentle appearance, rather than Wen Changyu's tall and sturdy build and peasant-like appearance.
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but due to the changing times, she was forced to marry someone like Wen Changyu, and she was resentful about it for the rest of her life.
Back then, their family and the Wang family were old friends. Both families were quite wealthy, and they were both educated and had seen good things. They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
But when things went wrong, capitalists like them were looked down upon in that era. To avoid suffering, she would submit to a peasant like Wen Changyu.
Wang Jinghui was the same; for the sake of making a living, he found a woman he didn't love and made do with the life.
Unfortunately, that woman was unlucky; she died during childbirth.
After the child's mother died, Wang Jinghui struggled to raise the child alone. Xu Shanshan could provide for the father and son materially, but she dared not have frequent contact with Wang Jinghui, fearing that Wen Changyu would find out.
So after learning that she was pregnant again, Xu Shanshan had an idea: after the baby was born, she would abandon the child and then adopt Wen Qianqian under the pretext of missing her child.
Of course, the child couldn't be Wang Jinghui's. She made Wang Jinghui give the child to her sister, saying that her sister had picked the child from the countryside.
And so, she adopted Qianqian, solving the problem of Wang Jinghui, a single father, raising a child.
In order to repay her, Wang Jinghui has remained single all these years and has not remarried.
Upon seeing Wang Jinghui, Xu Shanshan entered carrying some things, looking every bit the wife, and asked, "Who was that person just now?"
As she spoke, she put down what she was holding and went to open the window.
Wang Jinghui's house was too small. There were still unwashed dishes on the table from last night. The doors and windows had been stuffy all night, and the house smelled terrible.
Seeing her open the window, Wang Jinghui quickly started tidying up the table, while vaguely replying, "A friend."
"Why did you bring Qianqian here so early today?" he asked.
After opening the window, Xu Shanshan glanced at Wen Qianqian, who had moved a stool to hide outside the door for some peace and quiet, and asked Wang Jinghui softly, "What do you think about marrying Qianqian to the second son of the Wen family?"
"Your second son?" Wang Jinghui asked.
"Okay!" Xu Shanshan nodded.
Wang Jinghui rubbed her hands together. "What's wrong with that? As long as you can make the decision!"
What kind of family is the Wen family? Wang Jinghui isn't stupid.
Therefore, he agreed to Xu Shanshan adopting his daughter and was even more willing to let her marry the Wen family's son, as this would ensure his retirement in the future.
Upon hearing Wang Jinghui's words, Xu Shanshan's meticulously maintained face revealed disdain. "How could I not make the decision?"
"It's his good fortune to be able to marry Qianqian."
Wang Jinghui didn't refute this, but simply added, "Speaking of good fortune, it has to be Wen Changyu who was able to marry you back then." As she said this, Wang Jinghui looked at Xu Shanshan with tender eyes, her heartfelt emotions overflowing, "Back then, you were a well-known beauty in our area. So many people considered you their dream girl. If it weren't for..."
Wang Jinghui suddenly stopped talking.
Xu Shanshan's mood also dropped. After a while, she raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, then stubbornly raised her head again, "Let's not talk about these things. It's all in the past. As long as we take good care of Qianqian, that's all that matters."
Wang Jinghui nodded immediately.
Because Xu Shanshan went to see her beloved, she was unaware that Xie Zhizhi had already returned to the Wen family.
Because Xu Shanshan was too proud and arrogant, Wen Changyu's parents did not live with Wen Changyu and his family; the elderly couple lived alone.
As soon as the car arrived at the Wen family home, Wen Changyu asked Wen Jinzhou to drive to pick up Wen's grandparents.
He led Xie Zhizhi and Zhou Lin inside, carrying breakfast he had brought from outside.
Because the wontons and braised pork buns at that stall were delicious, Wen Changyu brought back two portions of each.
One copy was for Xu Shanshan, and the other was for Wen Qianqian.
