Pfft—

Zhao Yingjun almost spat out the tea in her mouth.

She swallowed it down, unable to resist laughing as she said,

“That’s quite the joke you’re making.

Where am I supposed to have gotten such a grown granddaughter for you two?

It would be more like…

if I were really capable of that, wouldn’t you be thrilled?

What’s the need for rushing to get me married off and to have children, if you could already have a ready-made granddaughter to dote on?”

Yan Mei hesitated, then finally spoke with heavy seriousness,

“Actually…

your father and I aren’t entirely against this kind of thing.

After all, how should I put it, the child is innocent, and since she really is related to us by blood, then she is a member of our family.

Of course, we have a responsibility to care for her.”

the fact is the fact, a DNA test report won’t lie.

Didn’t the doctors even say there’s no need for a paternity test because Yan Qiaoqiao looks almost identical to you when you were little?”

Ah…

Zhao Yingjun let out a long sigh.

She felt that inviting her parents to Donghai City was a mistake from the beginning.

Without them, all was calm.

Once they arrived, everything was chaos, and there were nothing but issues around them.

“What exactly are you two trying to say?”

Zhao Yingjun leaned against the back of the chair, looking at Yan Qiaoqiao who had picked up the little dog VV:

“Get to the point, what are you really trying to do?

Want me to be this child’s mother?

Stop joking…

I’ve never had children, don’t I know that myself?”

“If she really were my child, I would never abandon her.

I would certainly raise her and take good care of her.

But now, out of the blue, you’ve found a child from who knows where and insist she’s my granddaughter…

Don’t you think this is too much?”

“[Not only is it too much, but to me, it’s also an insult.]”

Her gaze was sharp as she scanned her father and mother:

“I, a woman, have always been brave enough to face the consequences of my actions.

If I truly had a child with someone else, I am of age now, not some little girl.

There’s nothing for me not to admit…

Besides, I was thinking before, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a daughter who grows up without needing to be borne or raised?”

“If it was someone else doubting my integrity, that would be one thing, but to be doubted in such a way by my own parents…

I feel it’s a great insult.”

“Do you think the way you raised me was such a failure?

Or in your eyes, am I such an irresponsible woman?

Otherwise, one of you explain to me…

at 25 years old, where would I get such a grown granddaughter for you?”

…

Zhao Yingjun’s sharp words left the entire private room silent.

Only the sound of Yan Qiaoqiao’s clicking fork and knife remained.

At that moment, she was using a fork to pick up a small piece of steak, feeding it to VV, who happily licked his tongue and bit down.

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei were rendered speechless by Zhao Yingjun, even feeling deeply ashamed.

Especially Zhao Ruihai.

He suddenly realized that, without knowing it, he seemed to have hurt Zhao Yingjun again…

wounded her pride and insulted her dignity.

Yes.

As a father, if he doesn’t believe his daughter on the matter of having children, then who in this world would believe in his daughter’s innocence?

When he knew that Yan Qiaoqiao was his granddaughter, he immediately resolved to protect the young girl well, to ensure she would not be harmed in any way.

But why…

When it came to his own biological daughter, was he so thoughtless and always hurting her?

Zhao Ruihai thought back to an article he had read on the phone.

The article said,

Parents are the last line of support for a child, and also the final fortress that guards them.

As long as this fortress stands, the child will never give up on themselves.

In contrast, those poor kids who jump into rivers or off buildings…

What truly drives them to their deaths is not teachers, not classmates, not violence, but often…

the indifference and denials from their own parents.

That is the most hurtful thing.

Just like what he was doing now—

[A biological father, dragging a teenage girl picked up from the street, insistently claiming she’s the child of his own pure and chaste daughter.]

Is there a worse slander than this?

Is there a greater heartache than this insult?

Zhao Ruihai suddenly understood the words Yan Mei had said at noon…

Is there really such a thing as favoritism toward a granddaughter?

It’s nothing more than parents transferring the affection they owe their daughter to their granddaughter.

And what’s more tragic is,

He still didn’t realize that, already being a grandfather, he was still inadvertently hurting…

the daughter he already owed so much, Zhao Yingjun.

“Ying…

Yingjun.”

Yan Mei also felt that today’s accusatory scene was indeed somewhat inappropriate and hurriedly said,

“We didn’t mean that…

Your father and I of course believe in you!

You have always been so excellent since you were young.

We know your character and there’s definitely no problem!”

“As for Yan Qiaoqiao, Yan Qiaoqiao she—”

“She’s just the granddaughter of a relative from your mother’s hometown,” interrupted Zhao Ruihai.

Then he looked up at Zhao Yingjun, speaking earnestly,

“I apologize for putting on such an act, causing you distress.

But actually, it was all out of our deep concern for you, hoping that you could marry and establish both career and family soon.”

“I admit, we might have been too forceful.

Don’t take what your father just said to heart, I believe in you, in your character, in your conduct, and in our parenting.

You would absolutely not do such an indecent thing.”

“I can see that you are really opposed to the idea of getting married and having children.

Your parents won’t pressure you anymore.

We won’t bring it up again, just live according to your own plans.”
