Free Web NovelChapter 1181: Chapter 904: Extra – Chen Haichang and Zhang Xinli (Part 1)
For Little Star going to the Capital City for school, Mei Shuping is quite happy because he can frequently see his eldest granddaughter. Now that he’s retired, he doesn’t have much to do, and Xiao Chi’s place is too far, so he doesn’t want to go there. On the other hand, Xie Lingzhi often runs over there to see her grandson and granddaughter. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
He can’t make it there even twice a year, but the kids always come back during summer and winter vacations. Now with Little Star here, if Dingding also comes, then everything would be complete.
Since retiring, he’s developed a special hobby, which is gardening. He grows all kinds of vegetables in his small courtyard, and every Sunday Little Star comes home.
Because Xie Lingzhi is at home, Little Star is reluctant to come. Mei Shuping knows that Xie Lingzhi doesn’t show a good face to the child, so whenever Little Star comes over to the second son’s place, he brings lots of vegetables from his garden. As long as Little Star is around, he stays at the second son’s house.
Although Little Star is only in her teens, over the years she’s absorbed a lot from her mom and grandma’s skills, to the point that she’s quite proficient. So whenever Little Star comes by, they have a feast.
With her two grandfathers here, no one dares to bully Little Star at school. Because she’s so pretty, many people pursue her.
However, even though Little Star is an arts student, she doesn’t really like boys who are also arts students. So, she pays no heed to those pursuing her, which is what reassures Han Yi the most.
So with his daughter over here, he’s gone from being worried to boasting to others, saying that his daughter is always busy with her studies, doesn’t even have time for fun, let alone dating.
Every time Lin Wan hears him say this, she tells him off, saying that he shouldn’t jinx it. What if one day she meets someone she likes and starts dating, Han Yi would probably be the first one in the family to be worried.
Now that Dingding is in military school, Little Star is about to graduate soon. In the blink of an eye, their daughter is about to step into society. She wants to study abroad. Lin Wan is a bit worried.
Han Yi is also a bit worried, but children need to grow and to venture on their own. So, although they worry, they both agree.
The family is all thrilled when they hear Little Star wants to study abroad and happily sends their blessings. Chen Haichang, who has been frequently traveling abroad these past years, is familiar with overseas matters because his wife is currently there with their child for school.
He’s pursued for so many years. Although his wife no longer rejects him entirely, she still carries out her own life, fitting him in where she can as he is a man. In the past couple of years, she’s been handling a project abroad, so she took their son with her.
When Chen Haichang heard about Little Star’s plan to study abroad, he was overjoyed and said he’d handle it. He promised to get everything done properly for Little Star, easing Lin Wan and Han Yi’s worries. He mentioned that her third grandaunt has connections there, so if Little Star encounters any issues, she can seek her help.
Despite this, Lin Wan remains quite apprehensive. Over these years, Chen Haichang has never brought his wife over for them to meet, so they’re unsure whether she’s still upset with them or unwilling to meet any relatives. It feels a bit inappropriate to suddenly ask her to help.
However, Chen Haichang reassured them, saying his wife is very nice and told them to try to worry less.
There’s still some time before Little Star’s study abroad plan materializes. Coincidentally, during the winter, Chen Haichang’s wife returned to the country. Chen Haichang quickly took the opportunity to bring her over to meet them.
It’s the first time Lin Wan has met her. Her name sounds beautiful, Zhang Xinli. Little Star had met her previously and said she looked a lot like her aunt. Lin Wan agreed she did bear some resemblance, but upon closer inspection, there were notable differences. Zhang Xinli was taller, and while both were of the capable type, Zhang Xinli was more assertive than Lijuan. No wonder someone like Chen Haichang has been following behind her diligently for years; she’s clearly no ordinary person. Chen Haichang’s son isn’t much younger than Little Star. He’s in university now, a year or two older than Dingding. He has a very unique name, Chen Wu, and is very handsome.
When Lin Wan chatted with Zhang Xinli, she found her to be quite straightforward. She runs a floor wholesale business and has her own factory there. Interestingly, Zhang Xinli knows Ying Han well.
Zhang Xinli knows Little Star. Back when Chen Haichang found out she was pregnant with his child, he didn’t stop pursuing her. At that time, she saw a little girl at Chen Haichang’s home and misunderstood.
