Li Xiang had to deal with urgent work, so he hurried back to the company to go to work.
Before leaving, she learned some good news from him.
That's when the arrogant dog owner was sent to jail again.
She doesn't have to worry too much about Xiaodou's accident.
It’s rare to get a rest day.
She decided to lie down on the sofa and watch variety shows to kill some time.
I had just turned on the TV and watched it for a few minutes when my father came over with a sullen face.
He slapped her feet and asked her to take her feet back, and her father sat down.
As soon as she sat down, her father expressed that he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
Ask her to turn the TV down or turn it off.
She followed her father's request and only turned her voice to silent.
After all, looking at idol stars that are pleasing to the eye naturally puts you in a good mood.
She looked at her father's meaningful smile and was guessing what his father wanted to do?
When I saw this smile before, I would probably persuade her to go on a blind date.
But when she saw this smile again today, she suddenly felt panicked.
At this time, my father smiled again and said:
"Lingling, have you always been wondering why, from the moment I came back and saw Li Xiang, I have always been like a patriarchal father, doting on Li Xiang too much?"
Zhang Ling nodded quickly and said "Yeah".
If her father hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, she would have almost completely forgotten this grievance.
"It is said that a son-in-law is half a son-in-law, but a son-in-law is still a son-in-law and can never be truly raised as a son."
Zhang Ling muttered proudly in her heart.
It’s good that you know!
"What's more, in today's society, even biological sons are often ungrateful. So let's not talk about sons-in-law."
Zhang Ling nodded in agreement, but still asked with some doubts:
"I know this. But dad, I just don't know why you are saying this all of a sudden?"
Her father looked at her with worry in his eyes and said:
"Silly boy, you are my father's daughter who has been raised since childhood. In order to give you a good home, my father has broken his heart for you."
As she listened to her father's words, she recalled in her mind the scene where her father had persuaded her to go on a blind date.
Her nose felt sore and swollen.
Immediately, a little sparkle appeared in the eye sockets.
"But fortunately, I'm lucky enough to meet a Li Xiang who satisfies you."
satisfy?
No, she convinced herself again.
It's just that he was satisfied with Li Xiang's original love's ability.
He is not really satisfied with Li Xiang's boyfriend's identity.
"Silly boy, when a woman looks at a man, she will first be attracted by his appearance. Often she will not pay attention to the true nature of the man you see."
She was very resistant to her father's statement.
So like a naughty child, he made a face at his father.
Her father ignored her naughtiness and continued:
"In order to prevent you from taking a detour, Dad can only help you see what Li wants from a man's perspective."
Hearing this, Zhang Ling was a little curious about her father's outcome.
It's like when you go shopping and fall in love with a new dress, and you urgently need the pertinent opinion of your best friend.
"Dad, what do you think about Li Xiang?"
"Look at how impatient you are." Her father looked unsteady at her question and shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Ling also realized this problem of her own.
But he still smiled calmly at his father.
To her father, her smile was a giggle.
However, the father did not say much and continued the previous topic:
"Don't worry! After several observations as a father, I found that this young man Li Xiang is still very good! He is kind-hearted and motivated. The most important thing is that he loves you enough."
She listened to her father's evaluation of Li Xiang.
Her face was filled with a happy smile unintentionally.
It's a bit like the new clothes she has taken a liking to, which have been highly praised by her best friends, and she feels happy in her heart.
At this moment, my mind unconsciously began to imagine the wedding scene and the happy scenes after marriage.
Of course, there was Xiaodouzi chasing after them calling "Dad" and "Mom".
"Ouch, it hurts! Dad, what are you doing?"
Her forehead was suddenly flicked by her father's finger.
"Why do you have the nerve to ask me? I just asked you a question, what are you doing? Why do you keep giggling and not answering."
"Problem?" Zhang Ling rubbed her forehead and looked at her father confused, "What's the problem? I was distracted, please say it again."
The father shook his head helplessly and said:
"Forget it, no need to ask anymore. Your behavior has already answered this question for you."
Her father's answer made Zhang Ling even more curious!
She desperately wanted to know what exactly her father asked?
So she threw herself into her father's arms, holding one arm and acting coquettishly like she did when she was a child.
Obviously, this behavior is an absolute killer move for the father.
My father had no choice but to compromise and said:
"Okay, I was just asking you if you really love this man Li Xiang?"
"ah?"
The previous scenes about marriage resurfaced in her mind.
She quickly shook her head in astonishment.
Trying to get these images out of my head.
But it doesn't seem to have any effect.
"Oh, I didn't expect it. I have raised my biological daughter for more than thirty years. I ignored what my father said for the sake of another man. My heart is so cold right now."
At this moment, she was like a naive little girl. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her father's chest and said:
"Dad, don't be like this! Come on, Ling'er can help you warm up. I'm really not what you thought just now. I'm just thinking about you agreeing to Li Xiang's request to pay homage to his mother last night. Why don't you always agree to take him with you?
Shall I go?"
Zhang Ling did not clearly deny it, but deliberately changed the topic.
"That's because you..." Father almost said it.
These are the requirements of her biological mother.
This decision was made from the moment Zhang Ling was born.
"Because of me?" Zhang Ling looked at her father more doubtfully.
The father smiled awkwardly and then said:
"Yes, it's because your mother told me in a dream. She heard that you had a boyfriend and were about to get married. Your mother wanted to check for you and see how Li Xiang, your son-in-law, is doing?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Listening to her father's words, Zhang Ling vaguely felt that these words were indeed what her mother meant.
"Then why doesn't my mother let me go to pay homage to her? I am her biological daughter!" Zhang Ling said, almost roaring at the end.
My father's ears were buzzing at the sound.
For Zhang Ling's life safety, he could not tell her that her mother was actually still alive.
It's just that it's not convenient to meet her directly now due to various reasons.
"That's right! Your mother also knows this." Her father reached out and hugged her tightly, "My silly child. You don't know that your mother is always here and never leaves your side."
What my father said is indeed true.
It's not the kind of saying that a person has left but his soul is always with him.
Because when she was checking to see if someone was following her, she saw a woman in noble and elegant clothes asking for directions.
That woman was the mother her father said was dead.
After listening to her father's words, Zhang Ling seemed to understand the meaning.
She asked tentatively:
"Dad, what you meant by allowing Li Xiang to pay homage is another test for Li Xiang for my happiness?"
After hearing Zhang Ling's understanding, her father felt that her idea might be the best reason to maintain the stability of the current family relationship.
So he quickly nodded in agreement with Zhang Ling's expression.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
My father felt that there was no need to continue talking today.
I just wanted to get up and prepare to tidy up the house that has not been cleaned for a week.
Zhang Ling was still a little confused and then said:
"Dad, please wait a moment. I feel like you haven't finished what you said. Why don't you continue to finish."
The father, who had already stood up, looked back hesitantly for a while, then sat down again with a smile and said:
"Okay. Let's continue..."
Her father told her that on the surface, he was always defending Li Xiang in front of her.
But in fact, in this way, I want Li Xiang to feel grateful and love you well on behalf of his parents.
You must know that love and happiness are never infinitely obtained unilaterally.
Her father only played the role of giving love and happiness to Li Xiang for her.
The purpose is to allow her to draw more love and happiness from Li Xiang.
When she heard her father's explanation, she couldn't help but admire his selfless love for her.
Therefore, I regretted my complaints and incomprehension to my father last night.
"I'm sorry, my daughter blamed you wrongly!"
As she spoke, she threw herself into her father's arms again and shed tears.
Her father just smiled and stroked her hair, and kept calling her a "silly child".
Yes!
As long as her parents are around, she will always be a silly child in their eyes.
At first, she had a slight rejection of "silly children".
Sometimes she would even stubbornly tell her father that she was not stupid.
But at this moment she happily accepted the silly boy.
In other words, she is willing to be that stupid child in front of her parents.
Because those who are lucky enough to be the stupid children of their parents are often the happiest.
Future day.
It was less than three days before I accompanied Li Xiang to attend the family sacrifice.
Li Pan, the host, decided to get together with the juniors before the sacrifice.
It is said that brothers and sisters usually travel all over the world.
Take this rare opportunity to sit together and get to know each other and exchange feelings.
When Li Xiang mentioned this invitation, Zhang Ling refused.
But a few days ago, she took Xiaodouzi shopping to buy some school supplies.
A thief who accidentally encountered a bag snatcher in public.
Maybe the little thief is too stupid.
By chance, he bumped into Li Pan while escaping.
What surprised Zhang Ling was that the fat man Li Pan was very flexible.
One hand was like lifting a chicken, slamming the person against the wall, squeezing the little thief with his body and unable to move.
No matter how much the little thief screams or begs for mercy, it will be of no avail.
Zhang Ling rushed over with Xiaodouzi without recognizing Li Pan, and expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
Li Pan's honest smile was full of excitement and said:
"Is it you? Aren't you the kind-hearted beauty I met at Zhihua Technology last time?"
"You..." Zhang Ling looked at Li Pan and tried to remember.
Xiaodouzi curiously observed Li Pan, who was full of joy.
Then he smiled at Li Pan with a very admiring tone and said:
"Uncle, you are the most flexible fat man I have ever seen. You can easily stick bad guys to the wall like a cake."
Zhang Ling knew that no one wanted to have their shortcomings mentioned in person.
If someone mentioned it, it would be considered a rude provocation.
So she quickly pulled Xiaodouzi's sleeves and scolded:
"Xiaodouzi, what are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!"
Li Pan didn't find this offensive.
Children's words are unbridled.
What's more, he didn't detect any disrespect in Xiaodouzi's tone.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Pan poked his butt and leaned over, just as his fat butt continued to squeeze the little thief's thigh, he stretched out a big hand to shake hands and said, "Hello, kid! I am Li Pan. I am lucky to have you.
Can I get to know you?"
The thief returned the stolen bag to Zhang Ling and tried several times to escape without success.
So he yelled, struggled and beat Li Pan on the back.
The little thief's behavior made Xiaodouzi a little scared.
It’s just that he didn’t dare to reach out and shake Li Pan’s hand.
He actually took a few steps back and stood behind Zhang Ling.
Li Pan was obviously a little angry.
He turned around and glared at the little thief with sharp eyes, slapped him on the abdomen, and shouted at the same time:
"Don't move, you'd better calm down for me."
Perhaps because the slap was too hard, the little thief's face instantly turned pale, and he felt as if he was almost knocked out of breath.
The little thief, who had finally breathed his last, finally begged for mercy and stopped moving.
When Xiaodouzi saw the little thief begging for mercy, the fear in her heart disappeared instantly.
He boldly stepped forward and grabbed Li Pan's index finger at the tiger's mouth and said:
"Hello, my name is Xiaodouzi. I am my mother's favorite daughter."
This is Xiaodouzi’s clever self-introduction.
One purpose is to declare to outsiders the relationship between her and Zhang Ling.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Let more people know that she is Zhang Ling's daughter.
Even if Zhang Ling no longer wants her as a daughter in the future, she still has to weigh the pressure of public opinion.
Another purpose is to subtly make Zhang Ling get used to having her daughter.
Psychologically, Zhang Ling strengthened and solidified the mother-daughter relationship between them.
Because little girls like Xiaodouzi are the most insecure.
Li Pan suddenly understood and said to Xiaodouzi:
"Oh, so Xiaodouzi's father is called Li Xiang?"
"Ah!" Xiaodouzi continued to ask with some surprise, "Does uncle know my father?"
"I know you. Your father Li Xiang is my brother. Do you think I should know your father?" Li Pan said with a hint of provocation in his words.
Zhang Ling looked at Li Pan in shock.
She had never heard that Li Xiang had such a younger brother.
Xiaodouzi was like Columbus discovering the New World, excitedly shaking Zhang Ling's arm and saying:
"Mom, mom, do you know he is dad's brother?"
Zhang Ling shook her head truthfully and said:
"have no idea."
So Xiaodouzi cautiously retreated to Zhang Ling again, grabbed her hand and wanted to leave quickly:
"Liar! I didn't expect that my uncle is a big liar. Xiaodouzi doesn't want to talk to the liar. Mom, let's go and stay away from the liar."
Zhang Ling and Li Pan were both shocked by Xiaodouzi's words.
Then Li Pan was a little dumbfounded, so he could only take out the invitation letter unique to the Li family and said:
"Wait a minute, sister-in-law, the first time we met, I happened to be sending an invitation letter to Li Xiang for family sacrifices."
Li Pan still had no intention of letting the little thief go.
The little thief was like his personal pendant at this time, being controlled by his side and not daring to sneak away.
"Oh, which time are you talking about! But I really haven't heard Li Xiang mention you."
Li Pan seemed to be prepared for it. He quickly took out the invitation letter from his body, handed it to her and said:
"By the way, since you are Li Xiang's girlfriend, you should have seen our family's unique invitation to the sacrifice. This is mine. If you don't believe me, you can take a look."
The exclusive invitation letter from the Li family is genuine, but Zhang Ling still feels something is wrong?
She suddenly thought about how important the family invitation letter was.
But why does Li Pan carry it with him?
Then there is only one explanation.
This encounter with Li Pan was definitely not a simple coincidence.
