Fu Minghao was actually quite shocked by Xue Zhaodi. He hadn't expected that a seven-year-old child would be more clear-headed and knowledgeable than his daughter in her twenties. If she were properly nurtured, she would have a bright future.
Only Tan Fuya was puzzled: "According to the rules, once Nannan is adopted out, she will have no further connection with the Xue family. Moreover, Nannan will return to the capital. Can he possibly chase after her all the way to the capital?"
Fu Minghao was somewhat helpless about his wife's naivety, but still said, "Blood ties cannot be severed. Xue Fu is the kind of person who won't act until he sees a benefit. He was forced to agree to the adoption without getting any benefits, so he must be resentful. If Nannan doesn't return to Shanghai in the future, then it's fine. But we are adopting a child, not selling her. After all, she has the blood of the Fu family in her, and we will still keep in touch in the future. I'm afraid Xue Fu will use the child to his advantage, sow discord between the child and the Zhu family, or use his status as her biological parents to ask Nannan to do something."
Zhao Di wasn't surprised that her biological father knew so much about her, but she still reminded him, "My dad has a few friends who run a transportation business, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out where your little sister lives if he really wanted to."
The group fell silent. Finally, Zhao Di spoke up: "Let's devise an identity and then act in front of our sisters. We need to make them believe us first. Dad will definitely ask us questions. I can lie, but our sisters can't. Our second sister is too honest. When she lies, she lowers her head and speaks so softly that it's inaudible. It's obvious she's lying. Our third sister is still young and can only answer whatever she's asked."
Liu Yumin said, "Then let's say half and leave the other half. Old Zhu's identity as a soldier is undeniable, and his aura cannot be concealed. As for my identity, they only know me as a doctor. Let's say that Old Zhu retired from the army, and I am just a junior doctor who took a liking to my granddaughter and wanted to adopt her."
Fu Minghao thought for a moment and added, "We also need to say that your family has more boys than girls, otherwise Xue Fu would definitely want to eat up the family's entire lineage."
Although soldiers' children are not desirable, they are still blinded by greed. They believe that having more boys will make them realize that the property has nothing to do with the daughter, but that she will be more favored and will not benefit much from it.
After discussing the details, the adults decided to continue acting under this identity until the children left.
Back in her room, Liu Yumin was worried: "Old Zhu, shouldn't we find some powerful backers for our little darling? We can't rely on the Xue family."
The Xue family not only can't take care of Guai Guai, but they will also be a burden to her. She absolutely cannot allow it. They are already fifty years old, but they all have hidden injuries. Even though she is a doctor and knows how to take care of them, they suffered a lot on the battlefield when they were young. The battlefield is unpredictable and there is no time for them to recuperate. They can only overdraw their bodies time and time again. They probably won't live for many more years. What will happen to her granddaughter if they are gone?
She had to go around looking for girls who liked her and were of good character, to build a relationship with them, and to find a backer for her son.
"We can't just keep calling her obediently; we need to give her a proper name." Seeing his wife's furrowed brow, Zhu Jiabao asked, "What's wrong now?"
So what if they can't be trusted? It's not like the Zhu family can't protect a little girl. Is this something to worry about?
Liu Yumin said, "What name should I give my child? I hope she will be safe, happy, healthy and blessed. I'd like a name with a good meaning."
Zhu Jiabao became interested; he needed to think of a name carefully: "How about Zhu Meiyu?"
Beautiful jade, beautiful jade, it sounds very precious.
Liu Yumin rolled her eyes and objected, "No, that's too tacky."
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Jiabao said, "Zhu Xingchen? Stars and the sea, that's a grand name."
Liu Yumin objected: "No, I hope this child is more ordinary, let's make it Fanfan!"
Her children were all ambitious, but they all sacrificed themselves for their ideals. She only hoped that this child would live a peaceful and healthy life, without illness or disaster, and that he would live an ordinary life.
Mo Wenqi wanted to express her opinion on the name. She preferred to be called Xingchen (Starry Sky) rather than Fanfan (Ordinary Person), because she didn't want to be an ordinary person.
However, Liu Yumin interpreted Mo Wenqi's protest as, "Old Zhu, look, the child agrees, so let's call him Fanfan from now on! Zhu Fanfan!"
Mo Wenqi replied excitedly: "No, I don't want to, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to give up, as long as the child was happy: "When we return to the capital, I will give Fanfan the Zhu family heirloom to wear as a talisman."
Soon it was time for the follow-up appointment. This time, Xue Fu brought Fu Jing with him. Liu Yumin saw that Fu Jing's blood and qi were much better, so she didn't waste any words and began to take her pulse: "Your body has recovered well. I will give you acupuncture first, and then prescribe a few days' worth of medicine. Come back for acupuncture again in three days. After about ten acupuncture sessions, your body will be fully recovered."
I also gave Xue Fu a follow-up check-up: "Your health is still okay. I'll change your prescription again. You can stop taking it after a few days. In addition to the previous precautions, you also need to abstain from sex while taking the medicine."
Xue Fu was somewhat embarrassed. He had taken the medicine given to him by the so-called miracle doctor and found that he had plenty of energy, so he went out to find his lover. Could it be that the miracle doctor had diagnosed him? Seeing that the miracle doctor didn't say anything more, he felt relieved.
Liu Yumin asked Sister Xu to go out and get the medicine, and said to Fu Jing, "I will give you acupuncture right away. It will take about an hour. I will start when you are ready."
Fu Jing was naturally urging them to start. She just wanted a son, and she was willing to give up everything for him. Lying down for two hours was no problem.
Seeing this, Xue Fu said he wanted to see his daughters and take them back with him. Tan Fuya immediately agreed; if she didn't take them, she wouldn't be able to continue her act.
When Xue Fu saw his daughters, he could hardly believe it. The children, who were usually covered in dust and dirt, had transformed into delicate porcelain dolls just by changing their clothes and styling their hair. He then realized that his daughters had inherited Fu Jing's good looks and would definitely grow up to be beauties. Beautiful people usually marry into good families and bring support to their maternal families.
The daughters were overjoyed to see their father and kept calling out "Dad!" Without being asked, they excitedly recounted what had happened in the past few days.
However, Xue Fu remained silent about Liu Yumin's identity. Seeing that no one was around, he asked directly, "Zhao Di, has that miracle doctor always lived at Grandpa's house? Do you know where they're from?"
Xue Zhaodi also pretended to be happy and said, "I know, Grandma Liu is a doctor. She has suspended her duties and came here with Grandpa Zhu to visit an old friend."
Xue Laidi was a little shy and even took two steps back, but was pushed out by his third sister, Xue Pandi. Xue Pandi hugged her father's leg and followed closely, saying, "I know, Grandpa Zhu has retired. He has many sons and wants a sister."
Xue Fu prompted, "Have you met Grandpa Zhu?"
Xue Zhaodi said, "Grandpa Zhu doesn't like us. He only likes to hold the little sister and won't let us get close."
Xue Pandi also uttered a single word: "Fierce!"
