Chapter 89: Sang Ning is your biological daughter
Xiaozhi's man? Chu Yuanlin's heart seemed to be filled with fireworks, and his mind was instantly confused. He didn't know what to do.
He knew this day would come, but he never expected it to happen so soon, so soon that he had never been prepared.
"I am Xiaozhi's husband, and you..." Zhou Yongzhuo smiled but said nothing. The rest of the words were on the tip of his tongue but he didn't say them out.
Yes, he is Xiaozhi's husband, but the man in front of her has lived with Xiaozhi for many years and has children with her, while she, as her husband, is of no use to him.
He pondered for a long time, looking directly at the shocked man in front of him. Zhou Yongzhuo sighed, "You are the one who has always been with her."
Zhou Yongzhuo was very grateful, grateful that he could accompany Xiaozhi and thank him for taking care of Xiaozhi for so many years.
Chu Yuanlin's face was stiff. He slowly raised his eyes and clenched his hands into fists, using so much force that his fingertips turned white. He is Xizhi's husband?
It's.......Sang Ning's......
"Yongzhuo must be tired from the journey. Go and have a rest first." Qiao Xiangye laughed and let Zhou Yongzhuo leave first. Looking at Chu Yuanlin who was standing still, he couldn't help but sigh.
After all, he is Xiaozhi's husband and Sang Ning's father. Qiao Xiangye stepped forward, patted his shoulder and comforted him, "He and Xiaozhi are both in the past. You are Sang Ning's father."
Qiao Xiangye's original intention was to let Chu Yuanlin rest assured. Although they had a relationship, Chu Yuanlin and Xizhi had a child.
After hearing this, Chu Yuanlin felt even colder in his heart. He couldn't even smile naturally. He nodded dully, looking listless.
"You should go to sleep too. You have traveled so long. I will take you to see Sang Ning in the evening."
Qiao Xiangye was busy with other things, so he asked the soldier to take Chu Yuanlin to rest. As soon as Chu Yuanlin walked out the door, he saw Zhou Yongzhuo, who was holding a cigarette between his fingers, with his head tilted up, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Come out." Zhou Yongzhuo greeted first.
Chu Yuanlin nodded, "Yeah."
"Leave the photo here for now." The reason why Zhou Yongzhuo stayed and waited for Chu Yuanlin was to leave the photo in his hand. The woman in the photo was full of love, touching her belly and smiling happily, with Chu Yuanlin standing behind her.
Every time Zhou Yongzhuo looked at her, his heart ached. As if he was torturing himself, he kept staring at Qiao Xizhi's face, and his eyes became slightly red.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket tremblingly, took a slow puff, and the smoke made him almost cry.
Xiaozhi once said that smoking was bad, so he never smoked again. Even during the years when she was missing, he drank and became a loser, but he never smoked. This time, he broke his vow.
"I really envy you." Zhou Yongzhuo suddenly spoke and handed Chu Yuanlin a cigarette.
Chu Yuanlin waved his hands, "I don't smoke."
Thinking of what Qiao Xiangye had just said, the man in front of him seemed to be in poor health. He looked up and saw that his cheeks were deeply sunken, his dark stubble was not shaved, and his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his desire.
Chu Yuanlin was terrified. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Do you have time tonight? Let's meet Sang Ning."
After all, he is Sang Ning's biological father, and Chu Yuanlin is already very satisfied with the happy days he has stolen over the years.
But he was also a narrow-minded person. Thinking of the man's weird demeanor in the car, Chu Yuanlin suddenly didn't want to tell him so early.
"Meet once? Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to your daughter?"
Zhou Yongzhuo sneered. Which man would let his ex-husband see the child his beloved woman had with someone else?
Chu Yuanlin smiled faintly, shook his head, and said firmly: "You won't."
After the two of them left, Qiao Xiangye took some time to go back to the family building. He Shulan was wearing an apron around her waist, and was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen with Chu Sangning. She was a little surprised to see him come back.
Didn't you go to pick up Zhou Yongzhuo? Why did he come back alone?
"Sang Ning's father is here." Qiao Xiangye said silently to He Shulan, and then whispered to his wife: "Sang Ning's father will come back with me for dinner in the evening."
He Shulan frowned, "What about Yong Zhuo?"
"Sang Ning's father knows that Yong Zhuo is Xiao Zhi's ex-husband. I'm worried that he will be stubborn. Let him calm down first and wait until tomorrow. I will bring him to see Sang Ning when I have time."
After thinking it over, Qiao Xiangye decided that the two of them should not appear together as it would lead to a confrontation, and he didn't know who to help.
After Yongzhuo has seen Sang Ning, he should leave, right? Qiao Xiangye hopes so.
Qiao Xiangye came back and left after saying a few words. He Shulan calmed down and went back to the kitchen. "Sang Ning, your father is here today."
"Really? When did you come? Have you arrived?" Chu Sangning was very excited and asked three questions in a row.
He Shulan smiled, "Your uncle has put him in the army dormitory to rest. He has been here for a day and a night, and he is tired. Come to my house for dinner in the evening."
"Yeah." Chu Sangning was a little excited, thinking about making more delicious food in the evening.
In the afternoon, the army horn sounded, and Jiang Xingyan came to call the commander back for dinner. He found two people in his office, "Commander, who is this?"
"Yuanlin, this is Sang Ning's boyfriend Jiang Xingyan, and that is my old friend Yong Zhuo."
Jiang Xingyan suddenly realized what was going on, stepped forward, bowed, and held Chu Yuanlin's hand, "Hello, uncle, I am Jiang Xingyan."
Chu Yuanlin's mind went blank again. When did his girlfriend start dating?
"This is a long story. Now that Yuanlin has said it, let's go home and have dinner."
Qiao Xiangye was worried that they would start quarreling when they all returned home, and now Jiang Xingyan had arrived, which seemed like someone was there to liven up the atmosphere for him, so he simply called them all home for dinner.
Along the way, the four men didn't say a word. When they arrived at the door, Zhou Yongzhuo knocked on the door first. Chu Sangning rushed out excitedly, "I'm coming."
The moment he opened the door, Zhou Yongzhuo couldn't control his emotions. He took a deep breath, with relief and longing in his eyes.
He said with a trembling voice: "It looks like it, it really looks like it."
Chu Sangning looked at the uncle in front of him at a loss, with a blank expression, and greeted him politely, "Hello."
Qiao Xiangye tried hard to keep the atmosphere from being awkward, "Sang Ning, this is your uncle Yong Zhuo."
Chu Sangning smiled, and seeing Chu Yuanlin at the back, he ran over excitedly and hugged him, "Dad, you're here."
Chu Yuanlin patted the lady's shoulder and replied gently, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were dating, and I wouldn't have told Dad."
Upon learning that Jiang Xingyan's superior is Qiao Xiangye, who is an old friend of Zhou Yongzhuo, Chu Yuanlin can't help but sigh at the shackles of fate, as some things are destined to remain secret.
The father and daughter walked into the house intimately. Zhou Yongzhuo looked at Chu Sangning and was about to leave. No matter how Qiao Xiangye tried to persuade him to stay, he would not turn back.
Chu Yuanlin stared at the man's back, "Zhou Yongzhuo, there's nothing going on between Xizhi and me."
Zhou Yongzhuo paused, and the next second Chu Yuanlin continued, "Sang Ning is your biological daughter."
