Lin Lishan and Xiao Zhou took a breath. "Dad, isn’t it just your overthinking? She’s still a child, only 17, how could she think of that? From what I see, the Zhang Family behind her is also simple and honest."
"Don’t jump to conclusions first. Think about your husband Zhou Xiaocun, and then think about how she is Zhou Xiaozheng’s child. You’ll realize that the excellence of some people is innate. Zhou Xiaocun, a farmer’s boy, single-handedly rose from Northeast to Beijing at the age of 16, establishing numerous accomplishments. At 18, everyone called him the Northeast Tiger, becoming the pride of the Northern Military District. Even now, old and young still respectfully call him Brother Zheng. Was he nurtured by someone, or what? And do you think with Old Man Zhou’s foolishness he could have trained a talent like Zhou Xiaozheng? Zhou Xiaozheng is an unfathomable person, always with a serious face, nobody knows what he’s thinking, and he likes to keep things to himself. He became the Soldier King, not only because of his skills but more importantly because of his intellect and strategy. He never relied on our Lin Family to make his fortune.
As for Zhou Jiao, at 17, being excellent like her father is not surprising at all. Apart from being smart from a young age, skilled in strategy and means, she mastered embroidery and learned all of her grandmother’s medical skills in the environment of the Zhou Family. Isn’t that unexpected? She’s very low-key, very good at hiding her own strengths. Just look at the partner she chose, Zhang Guoqing, and her in-laws. You’ll know she has a great set of interpersonal skills; she’s insightful and can read people well.
Moreover, it’s not surprising she grows up well in such an environment. She’s on her own, without using her mind and means, there might not even be her bones left, can Zhang Guoqing alone protect her safely? Didn’t you see Zhang Guoqing didn’t say a word today, always attentive to Jiao Jiao’s safety?"
Lin Lishan listened and didn’t respond for a long time, fell into deep thought. After a while, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, speechless, deeply sighed, and then said in a low voice: "Dad, do you think she would bear a grudge against me for not visiting her in 17 years? Now that she knows her dad is alive, I rushed over, would she think I’m using her? From what you said, how could someone as smart as her not think of that? If Brother Zheng comes back and knows I hadn’t visited her all these years, will they hate me, the father and daughter together?"
Lin Xinsheng saw the pain in his daughter’s eyes and sighed inwardly. Those years, they shouldn’t have sent the child back home with her grandparents. Later on, they should have at least met her. It’s been too long; how would feelings form without interaction? He doesn’t know what will happen, whether clever or foolish, they should remember their parents, as for how to get along, it depends on fate. If Jiao Jiao is a calculating child, then simply be as dull as water, she won’t regard you, she’ll look at her father’s attitude to adjust her own. If she has a generous heart, she would also protectively support her mother. Looking at her protective nature, see if she regards Shanshan, regards her in her heart. That’s why he’s anxious to come along. His daughter is too simple-minded, thinking too simplistically, some things cannot be solved just with money or seen through a few letters of affection. Mother-daughter nature—hopefully, everything turns out well.
