Chapter 264 I have a daughter! My dad is as handsome as the male lead in a short drama!
"This is for Mianmian, my dearest daughter."
The signature is Fu Lichen.
Xia Mian stared blankly at the line of words above; they were very simple words, without any fancy language.
That's how direct and straightforward it is.
Xia Weiguo is not a good father and usually lacks warmth.
Especially with Lu Lian'er as a foil, he naturally wouldn't give Xia Mian a friendly look.
Xia Mian has no memory of her father's tenderness.
Suddenly, a man appears, expressing his fatherly love to her.
She was a little lost and confused.
Because she had never felt this way before.
This is unfamiliar territory.
"Mianmian, do you...do you not like it?" Fu Lichen appeared beside Xia Mian at some point, a hint of unease flashing across his handsome face.
"I've never given flowers to a girl before; this is your first time."
He took the florist's recommendation and thought that sunflowers would be a better choice for his daughter.
He didn't know if Xia Mian liked it or not.
"If you don't like them, I'll send you other flowers tomorrow. What kind of flowers do you like?"
Seeing that Xia Mian didn't speak, he asked her again.
Xia Mian looked up and smiled slightly, "I like it very much, thank you."
Fu Lichen has not yet fully adapted to the role of father.
Every time he thinks about suddenly having a twenty-year-old daughter, he feels a sense of disbelief and unreality.
He's only 38... and his daughter is already 20.
He had somehow missed twenty years with his own daughter, all thanks to that scumbag Xia Weiguo.
Fortunately, Xia Weiguo has now been brought to justice.
The thought of this made him grit his teeth in hatred.
"Um... Mianmian, do you have time today? I'd like to treat you to dinner. What would you like to eat?" Fu Lichen couldn't wait to reconnect with Xia Mian and strengthen their father-daughter bond.
He wanted to understand her fully, to cherish her, and to make amends to her!
He wanted to make up for all the feelings and time he owed her over the past twenty years.
"I still have to go to class!" Xia Mian met Fu Lichen's eager gaze and subconsciously told him her schedule.
Fu Lichen's gaze sharpened, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes. "What about tonight?"
"I...uh, okay." Xia Mian couldn't bear to refuse him any longer and nodded. "Wait for me after school tonight? Want to invite my mom along?"
“Okay. I’ll book the restaurant.” Fu Lichen’s eyes flashed with joy.
Xia Mian was carrying flowers and preparing to go upstairs when she heard the man call her again. She turned around and met Fu Lichen's loving gaze.
“Mianmian… I know you’re still unfamiliar with me. Let’s get to know each other slowly… I believe I will do better than Xia Weiguo!”
Xia Mian was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that she didn't accept Fu Lichen; she just didn't know how to get along with him.
She hadn't gotten used to her father suddenly transforming from an old, scumbag into a handsome and mature man!
Fu Lichen is over 1.8 meters tall and has maintained an excellent physique. If he stands next to Fu Yanshen, people will only say that he is Fu Yanshen's older brother. Who would know that he is Fu Yanshen's uncle?
He's exactly like the male lead in those short dramas featuring middle-aged men!
She firmly told herself that Fu Licheng and Xia Weiguo were different!
Xia Weiguo is a piece of trash!
Fu Lichen is handsome and young. Having a father like that... seems pretty good?
Thinking of this, she smiled at Fu Lichen, "I know, how can Xia Weiguo compare to you? He doesn't deserve it! Don't compare yourself to Xia Weiguo anymore. He's scum, he's a beast. He doesn't deserve to be compared to you."
Fu Lichen was taken aback by Xia Mian's words. He stood there for a moment, watching Xia Mian turn and walk upstairs. After a while, he grinned and smiled foolishly.
He even jumped around a couple of times, just like a young man!
My daughter said Xia Weiguo is a scumbag! My daughter said I'm better than Xia Weiguo!
I'm so happy!
When Madam Fu came out of the room, she saw her youngest son standing there dumbfounded, looking like a fool, with that silly grin typical of a landlord's foolish son.
She walked over and patted him on the back. "What are you grinning about!"
"Mom!" Fu Lichen hugged Madam Fu tightly. "Mom! Haha! I have a daughter! This is so wonderful!"
"My daughter is beautiful and outstanding! I want to give her all my assets!"
"Luckily, she chose Yan Shen as her husband!"
"Ha ha!"
He truly felt that no man in the world was good enough for his daughter.
Fortunately, it was Fu Yanshen, his nephew. If it were any other man, he would really think he was not good enough for my daughter!
Madam Fu smiled and shook her head. "I know, Mom knows you have a daughter. Is that alright?"
"I have a granddaughter now!" said Madam Fu contentedly. "With such an outstanding grandson as Yanshen and such an outstanding granddaughter as Mianmian, my life has been worthwhile. Come on! Let's go tell your father to offer him some incense!"
So the mother and son went directly to the room where the memorial tablet of the deceased Mr. Fu was placed.
Xia Mian placed the flowers in her room and put them in a vase. Looking at the blooming sunflowers, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She and Zhao Baoqi went to Mingcheng University together, and Zhao Baoqi drove his red Porsche to the parking lot.
As soon as Xia Mian got out of the car, she saw the car of the three Xia brothers.
The three brothers seemed to have been waiting in the parking lot, patiently waiting for their prey to come to them.
Upon seeing Xia Mian, they rushed over excitedly.
"Mianmian!"
"You've finally come to school."
"Mianmian, can you come home for dinner tonight? Grandma's birthday banquet is coming up soon, are you really not coming back to celebrate with her?"
"Grandma misses you so much, she talks about you every day!"
Xia Mian listened to their three crazy words, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
"She would miss me? I think she's thinking about Lu Lian'er. Lu Lian'er is her precious granddaughter."
“Mianmian, you’ve misunderstood Grandma. She was blinded by Lu Lian’er before. We were too! We were all deceived by that vicious woman, Lu Lian’er.”
Xia Qinglin pulled Xia Mian's arm, "Mianmian, please forgive your brother for the mistakes he made in the past."
“Mianmian, Grandma and we are all looking forward to your return! We don’t expect you to stay home every day, but could you come back even once a week?” Xia Qingyang continued, “Just once a week for a meal, okay?”
"Impossible." Xia Mian sneered; she had no intention of paying any attention to these three lunatics.
"One month! One month, is that alright?" Xia Qingfeng immediately said when he saw her cold expression, "Come back for a meal once a month, okay? Your brothers and grandma really can't do without you, Mianmian!"
Zhao Baoqi got angry as soon as he heard this. "Are you guys sick? Before, you couldn't wait to trample Mianmian into the mud, and now you're pretending to be good brothers?"
