"Is the dowry for Jiaojiao ready?" Leng Jun asked softly, looking at his son and daughter-in-law with a smile on his face.
Leng Zeyu and Long Xi looked at each other and nodded, "Dad, don't worry! We have prepared everything. It's just that we happened to be out for something that day, so we couldn't personally send Jiaojiao off to get married, which is a bit of a pity."
As Leng Zeyu spoke, he tightly held his wife's hand.
Then he added, "But it doesn't matter. When we are all free in a few days, we can go visit Jiaojiao. If we find that she is not happy, we can take her home at any time. After all, in our hearts, we always treat Jiaojiao as our own daughter!"
Hearing this, Long Xi raised her head with joy and looked eagerly at her father-in-law Leng Jun. Could it be that her father-in-law intended to adopt Jiaojiao as his granddaughter?
As she expected, Leng Jun continued, "Yes, if Jiaojiao is willing to come back to us, that would be the best. From now on, let her become a legitimate member of our Leng family!"
Long Xi was overjoyed, and her excitement was beyond words: "Great! When the time comes, I will definitely love Jiaojiao like my own daughter!"
At this moment, her heart was filled with beautiful visions of her future life. Leng Jun smiled with satisfaction, indicating that he was very satisfied with Long Xi's answer.
"Thinking back, if we had fewer concerns and decisively formed a relationship of foster father and mother with Jiaojiao, then how could Luo Jiahui be kicked out so easily? And how could Jiaojiao be forced to give herself to someone else because she had nowhere to go?" Long Xi's love for Jiaojiao was beyond words. If Jiaojiao had not extended a helping hand, she would probably have left sadly by then.
By then, the husband would be left alone, not only to bear the pain of losing his son, but also to face the pain of losing his lover. Without Jiaojiao's company over the years, she would have found it difficult to get out of the grief.
Leng Zeyu nodded silently after hearing this. The past years came to his mind, when his wife was pregnant, and the couple were looking forward to the birth of the little princess with great joy.
However, things did not go as planned, and the baby who was born was actually a boy. What was even more heartbreaking was that the baby, who was not yet full-term, was snatched away and mutilated to death. This deep pain became a scar that will never be erased from the hearts of the family.
Long Xi has never been able to let it go for many years. She firmly believes that her child's accident was caused by her own negligence. This guilt made her seriously ill and in a trance.
One day, the servant Man Yue discovered that she was missing and looked for her everywhere. Finally, she found her walking towards the pond, muttering to herself that her son was there.
If Luo Jiaojiao had not happened to pass by and rescued her in time, Long Xi would probably have encountered misfortune.
"Did you bring back Leng Mohan's information?" Leng Jun turned to his son and asked.
The information he knew so far was all from what he had learned from his good friends, but it was not exhaustive.
"The information has been brought back." Leng Zeyu stated calmly. The folder he handed to his father contained the information of the key figures in the competition at the end of the month.
"It's not difficult to obtain these because of the competition this time. The higher-ups think highly of him, and his abilities are indeed outstanding."
Leng Jun took the folder and quickly scanned its contents. Even he had to admit that this child had extraordinary potential and ability.
"Raised by wolves until he was ten years old?" Leng Jun's eyes stopped on a certain page. He looked up at his son with a bit of doubt and inquiry in his eyes. "Is this really true?"
