Bai Lian was choked and couldn't find any words to refute. She muttered a few words and replied reluctantly, "I know, mother-in-law."
"That's better. You're always pretending to obey, but secretly disobeying. If I find out you dare to ask my daughter for anything, I'll beat you to death when I get home."
"If you don't want it, then don't want it. Who do I want it for? It's for your Zhong family." Bai Lian was not convinced and had to retort a few words, but she didn't dare to be too tough.
Feng Jianhong snorted coldly, "Forget it, it's for the good of our Zhong family. If you really want to do this for the good of our Zhong family, then be quiet in front of Yuxiu and the Yan family. Keep a tight lid on your words. I don't care what you think in your heart, you should take care of yourself."
"Don't think I don't know how you support your family and how much private money your family still has. When you get back, Jiaquan, take a good look at it. Don't let this spendthrift woman squander all our wealth."
Zhong Jiaquan glanced at Bai Lian and agreed, "Don't worry, mother. I didn't give her all my wealth."
"That's not bad." Feng Jianhong calmed down a bit, and her tone softened. "Yuxiu deserves the good life she has today. None of us can ask for money. As long as we can make ends meet, we haven't reached the point where we have to ask our married daughter for money."
Zhong Jing nodded in agreement, "Your mother is right. Yuxiu married into a very high-class family. Our family can't match her. Don't let her hold you back."
"I've remembered it. Don't worry, Mom and Dad. Bai Lian won't dare." Zhong Jiaquan made the promise. Bai Lian rolled her eyes at him but didn't refute.
The Zhong family was talking in the hotel. Yan Rushan returned home and saw Yuxiu reading a book. His grandfather was not in the hall, so he asked casually.
"Yuxiu, where's grandpa?"
"Grandpa is taking a shower in the bathroom. Do you have something to talk to him about?" Zhong Yuxiu looked up.
"It's okay, just asking." He stepped forward and sat down next to her, "Is the child well behaved? Did he kick you after I left?" He placed his hand on Gao Long's lower abdomen.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head, "Maybe he fell asleep."
"That's not so bad. If the three of you move together, you'll be the one who gets hurt." Yan Rushan chuckled, retracted his hand and pulled the person into his arms. "The Zhong family was sent to a hotel, not far from our compound, called the Red Star Hotel. We booked two rooms for them and paid for three days. The Zhong family elders wanted to return the money to me, but I refused."
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at the man hugging her, and her heart was filled with ripples, turning into emotion. "Thank you, Brother Yan."
"Why are you thanking me? I'm your husband. I'm your husband within ten feet. Your business is my business. To be honest, you haven't decided whether to acknowledge them. If you do, they will be my formal father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"I don't know whether I should admit it or not." He shook his head and thought deeply, his mind wandering.
She had experienced many lives, and had parents who loved her like a treasure, and also parents who treated her like a piece of trash; the original owner of this life grew up in the love of the Wan family, and when she grew up, she paid the price of her life for the Wan family's love.
She couldn't regard the original owner's parents as her biological parents; it was undeniable that the Zhong family's parents were really good to the original owner and really loved her.
Yan Rushan just thought that it was the Wan family who hurt her and made her stay away from family affection; he hugged her and kissed her with heartache, and kept comforting her.
"Be good, don't think too much about it. Wait until you give birth and then consider whether to recognize him or not. Let's get along like this for now. Even if he doesn't recognize you, we can just be ordinary relatives."
"Well, that's what I thought from the beginning; as long as they don't come to me for profit, I will do my best as a daughter." Just consider it as honoring them for the original owner.
Yan Rushan silently held the girl in his arms. He had come into contact with this girl step by step, and he fell in love with her and decided to marry her. Her tenacity, her persistence, her thoughts, her actions, and her kindness all moved him.
"I will take Gu Lingguo to find the Zhong family tomorrow, so I may not be with you for a while."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded in understanding, "I'm sorry to bother you with another trip."
"It's okay. It's not a big deal." Their devotion to Yuxiu was worth his running errands. "Let's not say these polite words between us."
"good."
Yan Rushan smiled lightly, then calmed down. He thought for the Zhong family and said, "It's been a rare opportunity for the Zhong family to come here. We need to keep some memories of our trip. Tomorrow I'll take Gu Lingguo to buy a camera. I'll have him take pictures of them and send them to them after the pictures are developed."
"We really should buy a camera. When the kids are born, we can take pictures of them from time to time and make an album. When they grow up, we can still remember what they looked like when they were little." As soon as she started, Zhong Yuxiu's thoughts began to wander. "Let's take pictures of all their embarrassing moments so they can remember how naughty they were as children..."
Yan Rushan listened quietly until he heard the old man's footsteps coming out of the bathroom, then he stopped talking; the two turned their heads and saw that the old man had taken a shower, changed his clothes, and there was still moisture on his head.
"grandfather."
"I'm back." Old Master Yan asked calmly, "Have all the Zhong family members been settled?"
"We've arranged accommodations." Yan Rushan nodded, removing his hand from Yuxiu's shoulder. "We're staying at the Red Star Hotel. The conditions there are good, with hot water upstairs. The sanitation is very clean, and the service is much better than other hotels around here."
The old man nodded, smiled, and walked to the sofa to sit down. "What do you think, Yuxiu?"
"Let's just stay like this for now and see what kind of character they have." Yan Rushan answered instead.
"That's good. Let's see more. A person's true character can only be known through daily interactions." He agreed with this. Old Master Yan then asked, "Have you planned your route for tomorrow? Are you going to the Great Wall first or somewhere else?"
Yan Rushan shook his head and shouted, "Comrade Gu, please come out for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
"I'm here." Gu Lingguo came out of the kitchen, holding a tray. He walked to the coffee table and placed the tray on it. He handed the juice and fruit platter on the tray to Yuxiu and asked, "Comrade Yan, is there anything you need to discuss with me?"
Yan Rushan helped Yuxiu carry the platter and let her drink the juice first. He talked to Gu Lingguo at the same time, "I can't leave. I'll have to trouble you to take the Zhong family to Shangjing. There are many interesting places in Shangjing. Can you think of a better route?"
Gu Lingguo thought for a moment and asked, "I'm not very familiar with Beijing. I've only been to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square with my comrades."
"Then let's take them to these three places. They can spend a day at the Great Wall, the Forbidden City is huge and can also be spent a day there, and half a day at Tiananmen Square. Then we can take them to Tongluoguxiang, Wangfujing, and Jingshan Park." Yan Rushan said, looking at Yuxiu, "Is this arrangement okay?"
Zhong Yuxiu had no objection, "That's great."
"Climbing the Great Wall requires physical strength, and it would be boring if you don't walk far. Therefore, let's spend one day climbing the Great Wall. This arrangement is very good." Gu Lingguo nodded in agreement. Good places always require careful observation and slow walking.
