Chapter 37: Marriage and Childbirth



Seeing that Bai Shuixian was unwilling to talk about her family, Song Jinyao changed the subject at the right time: "Comrade Bai, we heard Jingchuan and Taozi talk about you and Bai Jianren at home before. Do you have any special plans for Bai Jianren?"

"He came over again this afternoon to discuss the divorce. Linglong put forward the conditions on my behalf. He has already gone to handle it, and it should be completed tomorrow."

"I plan to get a divorce from him first. My daughter and I will sever all ties with him through a newspaper announcement. After we've done these two things, I'll settle accounts with him bit by bit."

"Let's put aside the fact that he took advantage of my amnesia to kidnap me. Linglong is definitely not his daughter. She is my ex-husband's child. We divorced peacefully back then, and I only found out I was pregnant after the divorce. Her biological father doesn't even know she exists."

"Linglong has suffered enough following me in the Bai family over the years. I can't let this scumbag Bai Jianren drag her down for the rest of her life. His death is not a pity, but I can't let his death bring trouble to my daughter."

Song Jinyao and his wife understood her feelings and supported her arrangement. However, Bai Jianren was a gangster who had spent so many years trying to curry favor with the powerful but ended up with nothing. He would probably vent all his resentment on them and might even shamelessly drag them down with him in the end.

Song Jinyao thought of this possibility and glanced at his nephew. Now that the two young people had decided to get married, he couldn't let Bai Jianren, a scum, affect his nephew's career prospects.

So, I reminded him now: "Comrade Bai, you should know Bai Jianren better than we do. Given his current situation, he would definitely agree to a divorce and severing ties through a newspaper announcement. But later, if we take action, he'll definitely end up in jail. Sooner or later, he'll realize you were the instigator, and perhaps he'll shamelessly throw dirty water on you and maliciously stain Linglong."

Bai Shuixian was smart and understood the meaning of his words. Based on his understanding of Bai Jianren, he could indeed do it.

"Comrade Song, thank you for your reminder. What should I do to ensure that Linglong will not be implicated?" Bai Shuixian asked him directly.

"The best and most effective way is to medically prove that they are not biological father and daughter."

Bai Shuixian understood and thanked him with a smile: "Comrade Song, I understand. Tomorrow I will ask Linglong to go to the hospital with him for tests and ask the hospital to issue a certificate."

After the man finished speaking, Zhou Lanping moved on to the next topic: "Sister, I've heard Jingchuan talk about him and Linglong. The fate of these two children is destined by heaven. We both like Linglong very much. Jingchuan just called my second sister to tell her."

"My second sister is also a cheerful and outgoing person. She is very open-minded when it comes to her children's marriages and respects their own choices."

"Jingchuan Gang has also contacted the military leadership. The marriage application has been submitted and will be approved in two days."

"The two children are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven. I know my nephew; he's a good boy, excellent, motivated, and a caring family man. I can assure you that he will take great care of Linglong. Our entire family will also love Linglong very much and will welcome her into our big family with open arms. You can rest assured that we will never treat her unfairly."

Bai Shuixian listened and smiled faintly: "Xiao Lu is a good kid. I believe in him and I also believe in Linglong's vision."

Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Lanping felt relieved and said with a smile, "Sister, our family is straightforward and there are not so many rules and red tape. My second sister is working in Kyoto and can't make it to meet with you to discuss the marriage of our two children. She just called and asked me to discuss it with you. If you have any requirements, just mention them."

"Comrade Zhou, my only request, as I've already told Xiao Lu, is that I just want Linglong to be happy."

Bai Shuixian did not raise any other requirements regarding the gift money. Given the status of the Lu and Zhou families, there was no need to discuss such matters face to face. She believed that they would respect Linglong.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will make Linglong happy. Please supervise me at any time in the future. If I do something wrong, please correct me at any time." Lu Jingchuan immediately expressed his opinion.

Bai Shuixian smiled at him, which was considered as her agreement.

Zhou Lanping glared at him and reminded him at the right time: "Jingchuan, you silly boy, why are you still calling me aunt? Change your words now and get the marriage certificate as soon as the marriage application report is approved."

Lu Jingchuan smiled, a smile he had never seen before, and obediently shouted loudly: "Mom!"

He shouted so loudly that the sound echoed in the ward. Bai Shuixian was amused by him and responded with a "Hey."

Bai Linglong was also smiling with her lips pursed, and the tips of her ears flushed. It was rare for her to be shy and embarrassed in front of others.

The three members of the Song family were also laughing. Song Tao smiled and winked at Lu Jingchuan.

Lu Jingchuan received the signal, pulled Bai Linglong, and said with a smile: "Linglong, hurry up and call your aunt and uncle, there is a big red envelope for the meeting gift."

Song Jinyao and his wife: "......"

"Ha ha."

Song Tao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Bai Linglong covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, her face flushed. Seeing the two elders take out the red envelopes they had prepared long ago, she smiled and called out, "Aunt, Uncle."

"Hey, good boy."

Song Jinyao and his wife responded happily and handed her two thick red envelopes.

Zhou Lanping smiled from ear to ear: "Linglong, your aunt and uncle wish you happiness and hope that you will have children soon and give birth to many lovely and beautiful babies in the future."

Having just arrived in this world, everything from marriage to childbirth had been arranged. Bai Linglong felt like she was dreaming, but she smiled and agreed, "Okay."

Seeing that she agreed, Lu Jingchuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and he also put the issue of having a baby on the agenda in his mind.

The elders on both sides changed their words. Zhou Lanping also spoke on behalf of the second sister and talked about business. She smiled and said to Bai Shuixian, "Sister, my second sister and Jingchuan's father have been divorced for many years. The two sons belong to my sister. Their work and marriage are all decided by my second sister."

"Jingchuan and Linglong's blind date and marriage were too sudden, and there was no advance preparation. My second sister couldn't spare the time to come, but she will take leave in a while to go to Seoul to organize their wedding. She asked me to apologize to you on her behalf and will meet you in Seoul to apologize in person."

"You don't have to be so polite, mother-in-law."

Bai Shuixian had never met her, and thought it was not easy for her to raise two sons alone. She was said to be working at the Kyoto Public Security Bureau and must be a strong woman pursuing her career. She admired this mother-in-law whom she had never met.

"As it should be. Jingchuan is 23 years old this year. My second sister has always been worried about his marriage. Now that he has luckily met Linglong and is about to start a family, my second sister can finally rest assured."

Zhou Lanping was telling the truth. There were five brothers and sisters in her family, and only her second sister had an unhappy marriage. Her life was not easy. Fortunately, her two sons were very successful and loved and respected her.
