Accidentally entered a high gate

Upon hearing this, Sun Yaoguang immediately replied, "Sure! I understand. Well? I have things to do here, and you're quite busy too, so I won't keep you any longer."

Zhao Maisheng: "..." Never mind, he'd better find Boss Zheng instead. "Where did Boss Zheng go to discuss business?"

"I don't know. My wife didn't tell me."

Zhao Maisheng: "..." You coward! "Then I'll come another day."

"Come back another day, there won't be any stock." "Take care. Second brother, see Boss Zhao out."

"No need. You guys go ahead with your work."

After saying that, Zhao Maisheng left.

As soon as he left, Sun Lao Er leaned close to Sun Yaoguang and whispered, "Brother, you don't really understand him, do you?"

"Understand my ass! If it weren't for his ex-wife, he'd still be farming in his hometown. He's the one who, as soon as he has money, abandons his wife and kids."

Sun Lao Er was relieved. "I thought you really understood him."

"I'm not stupid. I'm living a great life now. My wife is capable, and the kids are well-behaved. Don't be like him. If you are, I'll have your sister-in-law kick you out."

"Why should I imitate him? I want to imitate Wanwan's dad. Wanwan's dad takes her and her mother back to Kyoto. Brother, what exactly does Wanwan's grandfather do?" He had been in Kyoto for a while and knew there was a reason why his sister-in-law's business was so successful.

Sun Yaoguang dared not say. "Why are you asking so many questions? Get to work."

Sun Lao Er: "..." His older brother actually managed to hold it in?! It seems Wanwan's grandfather is definitely no ordinary person. "Brother, do you think that guy surnamed Zhao will regret this?"

"He won't regret it if he gets richer and richer. He'll only regret it if he gets worse and worse off."

"Brother, you're getting better and better at speaking."

"Of course. My two brothers-in-law, my sister-in-law, and my brother-in-law are all college graduates."

The more Sun Yaoguang talked, the more he felt he couldn't learn from Zhao Maisheng.

On the other side, Xie Ange told Shen Jianrong what Xu Yanqiu had said.

After listening, Shen Jianrong also thought that people who could get into Peking University must be very smart. "I think she's very thoughtful, and I welcome her three children to visit my home."

"Then my sister-in-law told her."

"Okay. Thank you, sister-in-law."

"No need. My sister-in-law has left."

"I'll take you there."

"No need, no need." With that, Xie Ange strode away.

Shen Jianrong quickly followed.

After seeing Xie Ange off, Shen Jianrong thought for a moment and walked to Shen Nianjiao's door, asking softly, "Jiaojiao, are you asleep?" His deceased wife was in poor health and needed to take a nap every day. His daughter, raised by his late wife, also had the habit of taking a nap.

"Not yet. Dad, is there something you need?"

"Hmm. Can Daddy come in?"

"able."

Shen Jianrong pushed open the door and went inside.

Shen Nianjiao was doing crafts. "Dad, what did you want to see me about?"

Shen Jianrong sat down next to Shen Nianjiao and patted her head. "Dad is busy with work and doesn't have time to take care of you. Dad also can't bear to send you to your grandma's house. And Dad is a man, so there are some things Dad doesn't understand and it's inconvenient for Dad to tell you. Dad has decided to find you a stepmother."

Shen Nianjiao's eyes couldn't help but redden.

Shen Jianrong wanted to hug her, but then felt she was too old. "Don't cry. If you don't want to, that's fine."

Shen Nianjiao wiped away her tears. "I do. My mom told me she can't stop you from remarrying. She said she's been a burden to you for over ten years, and she can't let you be a burden for the rest of your life."

Shen Jianrong's eyes also reddened. "Your mother is not a burden; she is your father's lover. Don't worry, if your stepmother mistreats you behind your father's back, I will divorce her."

Shen Nianjiao wiped away her tears again. "I'm not worried. My mom told me you wouldn't let my stepmother bully me. I... I just miss my mom."

Shen Jianrong hugged his daughter. "Dad wants to too. But we both have to look forward. Your mother doesn't want us to live in the past either."

"Hmm. Dad, is your new daughter-in-law from the performing arts troupe? Or the hospital? Or our school?"

"Neither." Shen Jianrong briefly explained Xu Yanqiu's situation.

Shen Nianjiao was surprised to hear this. "Dad, aren't you going to find a younger wife? Grandma Tian and Aunt Liu both said you'd definitely find one."

Shen Jianrong released his daughter and ruffled her hair. "If Dad were to find a young wife, he'd have to coax her. I can't even coax you properly."

Shen Nianjiao's tears fell again. "Dad, are you worried that she won't take good care of me?"

"That's part of the reason. But the main reason is that Dad doesn't know how to comfort people."

"You're lying. My mom says you're very good at sweet-talking."

"That's because your mom is willing to let your dad coax her."

Some things only need to be done once in a lifetime.

He wanted to find someone close to his age, someone strong, partly because he felt he needed that kind of partner right now. Secondly… secondly, if he found someone with a personality similar to his deceased wife, he would be unable to stop thinking about her. He didn't want to forget his deceased wife; he… he just didn't want to find a replacement.

Shen Jianrong patted his daughter's head again. "If she takes a liking to Daddy, Daddy will invite her three children to our house as guests. Daddy will tell you a secret, I've already visited her three children."

Shen Jianrong told her in detail about what he had seen during his last trip to Beijing. "Your Aunt Xu's three children are all very nice. However, just because your Aunt Xu's three children are nice doesn't mean you can get along. Your Aunt Xu knows this, which is why she wants you to get to know each other."

Shen Nianjiao blinked when she heard that Xiuqin, Guangqin, and Yuqin were collecting and selling recyclables for money. "They're so pitiful, but they're so capable."

"You can only say the first part to your dad. As for the second part, wait until they get to know you better and tell you that they collect recyclables in Beijing to supplement their family income, then you can praise them."

"Okay. Don't their fathers give them money?"

"No."

"They are so pitiful."

"But they were very strong. They didn't cry; instead, they collected recyclables to supplement their income."

Shen Nianjiao: "..." She's not crying anymore! "Dad, if they become your children, will you stop loving me?"

Shen Jianrong gently patted his daughter's head again. This was all he could do now. "Don't worry. Your mother only left you for Dad. Even if Dad has many more children in the future, he will never neglect you."

"If Daddy and Aunt Xu get together, you have to learn from Aunt Xu. Sometimes Daddy wonders if your mother's personality had anything to do with leaving us so early?"

"Dad hopes that you will be like Aunt Xu, standing tall no matter how many setbacks you encounter."

"Of course, what Dad hopes for most is that you will never encounter setbacks in your life and that everything will go smoothly for you."

"Alright, you can get back to work. You're giving this to Wanwan, right?"

"Um."

That evening, Xie Ange made a phone call to Zheng Chunfang and Xu Yanqiu.

After learning that Shen Jianrong had agreed, Xu Yanqiu decided to go to Shen Jianrong's post for a blind date after completing her studies. Before going, Xu Yanqiu planned to hug Zheng Chunfang to absorb her good fortune.
