Sweet 80s

This news was not that explosive at first.

Yan Dahai and Lin Xiangli have been divorced for almost ten years.

For ten years, Yan Dahai has been in a romantic relationship with Feng Qianqian.

The two have been stable for so long, it seems natural for them to get married.

But when the matter was suddenly spoken, it still made people feel surprised.

"They got married a long time ago, but they didn't dare to release the news. I guess they were afraid that I would make a scene."

Lin Xiangli poured herself a glass of water and drank it all.

In fact, she was overthinking it. The other party had concealed it for so long because he was definitely afraid that Lin Xiangli would make a scene.

Wang Shuping asked. "So, when did you know about it?"

"Before Nan Nan came, her grandmother refused to agree. Later, when they were having dinner together, she finally agreed..."

Wang Shuping had heard Yan Shengnan mention it.

"It's probably because it's hard to refute the child in front of Feng Qianqian."

"No."

Lin Xiangli shook her head, then took a deep sigh, and her straight back suddenly went limp.

"Feng Qianqian is pregnant..."

"Pregnant..."

“I’m pregnant!!”

As soon as Wang Shuping uttered a word, Yan Shengnan's shocked voice came from behind them.

Lin Xiangli had thought that the children were all asleep when she said this, but she didn't expect that Yan Shengnan had heard it all.

"You said, Feng Qianqian is pregnant? She is going to give birth? When did she get pregnant? Did my dad and grandma know about it a long time ago..."

Yan Shengnan lost his mind and didn't care whether he would wake up his brothers. He just started questioning at the top of his voice.

She was so emotionally impulsive. If Lin Xiangli's tone and attitude were tougher, a quarrel would be unavoidable between the two of them.

Wang Shuping swallowed her saliva and broke out in a cold sweat for the mother and daughter.

Lin Xiangli also knew that the matter had been exposed, and hiding it would not quell Yan Shengnan's anger and curiosity.

Anyway, the child has reached an age where he understands everything, so just tell him everything.

Lin Xiangli stood up, took Yan Shengnan's arm and asked her to sit on the sofa. Then, she told her the whole story.

In the nearly ten years since their divorce, Yan Dahai has been in a relationship with Feng Qianqian. Although Yan's mother did not object to this, she did not show any approval either.

The reason is the same old, stale, and pedantic topic that has been talked about many times.

Succession.

After marriage, Yan Dahai had only one daughter, Yan Shengnan.

Yan's mother originally wanted to start inducing labor after Lin Xiangli's body recovered, but she didn't expect her son to cheat on her and the two divorced.

The dream of having a grandson was temporarily shattered.

The reason why the word "temporarily" is used is because the Yan family still has to go on with their lives and their plans.

For the Yan family, Lin Xiangli was just a passerby, and it didn’t matter who their daughter-in-law was from the beginning to the end.

What’s important is that this woman must give birth to a child to carry on the Yan family’s bloodline.

Therefore, after Yan's mother convinced her son Yan Dahai, they secretly maintained the same idea.

When Feng Qianqian becomes pregnant with a boy, she can marry into the family.

But with the blessing of "love", Yan Dahai reversed the order.

After Feng Qianqian became pregnant, the two got their marriage certificate first.

A few months later, after special examinations at an illegal clinic, it was confirmed that Feng Qianqian was pregnant with a boy.

So there was a dinner before leaving, and Yan Shengnan brought up the old matter at the dinner table, and Yan's mother readily agreed.

After the gentle and step-by-step narration, Yan Shengnan's high emotions were greatly relieved.

She was also slowly accepting the facts word by word.

It's just that people appear to be dejected and very depressed.

Seeing that her niece looked wilted like an eggplant hit by frost after hearing what she said, Wang Shuping walked up to her and gently held her hand.

"Nannan, whether your dad is getting married or having his own children in the future, it's all expected. You have to learn to adapt. Don't you envy having a brother who is like Erbao?"

"Hmph! Come on."

Before Yan Shengnan responded, Lin Xiangli took over the conversation and said angrily.

"With their character, what kind of child can they give birth to? Don't compare them with Erbao, it's cheap!"

On weekdays, Yan Shengnan couldn't stand her mother saying bad things about her father, and she also couldn't stand the Yan family blaming her mother.

And this time, she didn't plan to talk back.

"Also, Nan Nan, listen carefully. Who your dad marries or how many children he has in the future has nothing to do with me. But if they bully you for this reason, I will never allow it!"

Yan Shengnan remained silent.

Wang Shuping frowned. Although her words were nice, it was obvious that she was adding fuel to the fire at this moment.

She quickly interrupted, "How could that be? Nannan is so well behaved, they just can't wait to like her. Besides, isn't Feng Qianqian very good to Nannan?"

"Bah! After all, she's not my own flesh and blood. She's just pretending to be nice. If that woman was really a good person, she wouldn't destroy other people's families..."

The more he talks, the more enthusiastic he gets.

Lin Xiangli stood up suddenly, with her hands on her hips, looking very angry.

"The Lin family treats Nan Nan well because they have no other choice. When they have a grandson in the future, if they can still be the same as before, I will write the three words Lin Xiangli backwards!"

"Fourth sister..."

The situation continued to get out of control and Wang Shuping could no longer stop it.

"If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. Nan Nan, remember, in this world, only the one who gave birth to you and the one you gave birth to are reliable. Any other relationship is over, and there is no need for a reason..."

Lin Xiangli continued to speak incessantly.

The more Yan Shengnan listened, the sadder she became, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.

Wang Shuping knew something was not right when she saw it. Although every word of Lin Xiangli's condemnation and theory made sense, it would take time and process to accept it.

Stuffing everything at once into her like this would only make her feel more stressed. How much can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child bear?

If the string is pulled too tight, it will break sooner or later.

Wang Shuping couldn't bear it anymore, so she raised her voice and yelled at Lin Xiangli.

"Fourth sister! It's getting late, let Nan Nan go to bed first."

Lin Xiangli, who was so absorbed in cursing and complaining, was stopped by the other party's shout. Only then did she notice the changes in her daughter.

Angry and distressed, he quickly adjusted his mood and gently and gently helped Yan Shengnan back to the room.

When she came out again, her face was full of guilt.

"I...I was so anxious that I didn't know what to say. I guess I scared her..."

Wang Shuping comforted her.

"It's nothing. She will know about this sooner or later. Instead of going back and telling her, it's better for you to tell her. At least you are sincere to her."

Lin Xiangli calmed down and nodded.

"The reason why I haven't gotten married yet is because I'm afraid Nan Nan will be unhappy and feel wronged..."

Lin Xiangli's eyes suddenly became firm.

"It's not fair to Gao Yuan to say this, but as long as Nan Nan disagrees, I can immediately cut off all ties with him!"

As soon as she said this, Wang Shuping suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the other person.

From a 'fierce and tough housewife' to a 'successful entrepreneurial woman' to a 'loving mother who swallows bitterness and resents sweetness'.

Her opinion of Lin Xiangli also changed accordingly.

For a moment, Lin Xiangli's image instantly became great in her heart.

"Don't be so anxious. Nan Nan and Gao Yuan haven't gotten along yet. Give them more time."

"Well, I will."

After Lin Xiangli finished speaking, she was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Xiao Ping, actually, I asked you to come here this time because I wanted you to see how developed this city is. There is another more important reason..."

Wang Shuping seemed to have thought of what the other party was going to say next.

"Do you want Nan Nan to stay?"

Lin Xiangli nodded.

"That's right, you can't say I'm ungrateful, but water flows to low places and people go to high places. In the development of education, medical care and other industries, Shunze is not just surpassing Nanhe, it is surpassing 90% of the cities in the country..."

Based on what Wang Shuping has seen and heard so far, Lin Xiangli's words are very correct.

but.

"Nan Nan, I don't think she would agree."

For children.

These words that can foresee future development trends and long-term impacts are too complex and profound, and it is impossible for them to understand and comprehend them across the existing class.

Wang Shuping's concerns are understandable.

Lin Xiangli shook her head: "I've thought about it. I don't care whether she agrees or not. I must keep her here."

"But..."

"I was an unqualified mother in the past ten years, but I can't make the same mistake again. By the time she grows up and figures it out, it will be too late. The current policies change every day. You've seen Shunze Railway Station, where millions or even tens of millions of people flock in every day..."

Lin Xiangli stood up and walked to the window.

Wang Shuping's gaze also moved over.

Outside the window are tall buildings, bustling crowds and flashing neon lights.

The prosperity is dazzling, like a pouring river of stars.

Lin Xiangli paused for a few seconds.

After a moment, she looked into the distance and said seriously.

"As long as I can gain a foothold in Shunze, Nan Nan... can save twenty years of detours!"

As they were talking, a beam of light from afar refracted through several panes of glass and reflected on Lin Xiangli's face.

At this moment, Wang Shuping saw for the first time the depth and heaviness hidden in those bright eyes.
