Chapter 434 Opportunity

Day after day, happy times always pass quickly, and Song Yanchu felt that Ting Nan's happy little days would eventually come.

Every two days, that kid would call without fail. Although Nan usually just listened, she always seemed very relaxed.

That day, Zhong Shengli called again. He tentatively asked, "Tingnan, my mission is about to end. After I return to China, can you introduce me to your family?"

"Ok!"

“That’s great, Tingnan. I’ve told my parents about you many times and sent them your photos. They all want to meet you. Is that alright?”

"Ok!"

"Listen to Nan, listen to Nan, I'm so happy! I want to hug you so much. After the clouds clear, the moon will shine; after the flowers bloom, they will eventually bloom. The ancients were right..."

Zhong Shengli's joy was palpable, and Song Tingnan could feel it even through the phone line. She couldn't help but smile too. Zhong Shengli was a child raised in a happy family; he was innocent and optimistic, always smiling, like the sun, and being near him made you feel warm and cozy.

"Uncle, would you like to see him?"

"Who is it?"

"Uncle!"

Seeing Song Tingnan's rare shyness, Song Yanchu said earnestly, "Tingnan, I've spoken with your father and master, and your godfather has specifically looked into it. The child and her family have very sound values. Although they aren't a wealthy family, their easy-going nature is their greatest asset. So, we have no objections, as long as you're satisfied."

"Uncle, I...I'm a little scared." Song Tingnan couldn't help but touch the beads around her neck. "I feel like happiness came too fast. I'm afraid it's all a dream. Can I be happy? Will I hurt him?"

"You must be interested, right?"

"Hmm!" It's natural to be attracted, but deep love doesn't seem to be the case. It's only been three years of junior high, and now we both understand and are compatible in our jobs. With more time together, things should develop that way, right?

“Since you’ve fallen for her, you should take a step forward so you don’t regret it later.” Song Yanchu said with deep feeling, “Live in the moment. You’ll be twenty-two this year, which is a great time for love. Your father and I have already prepared your dowry.”

"Uncle!" Song Tingnan blushed slightly. Having her own little family, a husband who truly loved her, and two more children—just thinking about it made her feel like her life was perfect.

With these beautiful wishes, Song Tingnan drifted off to sleep.

"Junior brother, it's all your fault for being so soft-hearted and insisting on enlightening her uncle. Otherwise, she would have suffered more hardships since childhood and wouldn't be so greedy for pleasure now. What's so good about worldly affairs?"

“Senior brother, if you were so heartless, she would have died long ago after several fainting spells and high fevers. How could she have grown up so well?”

"Excellent my foot! She's only successful because of the few influential people you placed in her life; she's not talented on her own!"

"Senior brother, stop making trouble. I only gave her some opportunities. She seized them by working hard herself. That's how she ended up with a group of good teachers and friends."

"Don't think I don't know. Weren't you secretly helping her from the shadows?"

"Senior brother, you can't bury her efforts like this. Let's think back: she waited every morning for months to become a disciple, and only then did she gain favor, and then she practiced day and night; it was also because she dared to fight against the vicious and brutal human traffickers at such a young age that she became their godfather; as for rescuing that Japanese woman from a group of people throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, that took courage and a broad mind to accept her..."

"Hmph! I won't argue with you. You and I went through all sorts of hardships back then, and we relied entirely on ourselves."

"Senior brother, just because we got caught in the rain, does that mean we should tear up someone else's umbrella? Besides, is it right for us to insist on what we're doing?"

"Junior brother, what do you mean? Could it be that even you..."

"No, I just thought, isn't it great to have a happy family?"

"Hmph, she can forget about it!"
