Chapter 783: Chapter 11 Serious Family Meeting (Monthly Tickets Increase!)_3 Chapter 783: Chapter 11 Serious Family Meeting (Monthly Tickets Increase!)_3 Zhao Ruihai also looked at her with quite a bit of resentment:
don’t need so many rules.
You’ve been a boss so long you’re going mad, not a shred of tolerance.
This is the time when kids are growing and need nutrition.
What if they get too hungry and harm their health?”
This time, it was Zhao Yingjun’s turn to be stunned.
Are these really her parents?
She remembered clearly…
When she was a child and left a few grains of rice uneaten, her father would scold her for not knowing how to save food, followed by a lesson on hardship, telling her stories about people starving to death, eating tree bark, and grass roots during tough times.
And as for starting a meal before the elders arrived, that was even more unthinkable.
As the younger generation, she had to honestly wait; there was absolutely no chance of eating first.
How could they forget this fine family tradition today?
Zhao Yingjun chuckled:
“When I was a child, that’s not what you said.
Why are we not having a lesson on gratitude and humility today?”
Zhao Ruihai coughed twice:
“That was then, times change.
Enough talk, sit down.”
Zhao Yingjun put the Pomeranian VV down on the floor, took off her coat, and hung it on the wall.
She discovered VV had disappeared.
It had jumped onto the little girl’s skirt and lay there, comfortably starting to ‘V’.
The Pomeranian’s reaction was as familiar as if it had seen Lin Xian, rubbing against the little girl’s belly, begging for pets.
The little girl spoke in a flat tone.
Such a simple sentence, and Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei were boiling over:
“You know to call it a little dog?
Try saying it again.” “Ah, Qiaoqiao can say new words!”
Zhao Yingjun’s brow twitched, barely able to cope:
“Have you two had enough?
Are you putting on an act for me on purpose?”
Zhao Yingjun had a rough idea.
was probably another trick her parents had come up with to stimulate her, deliberately bringing a little girl over to play house for her to see.
VV was acting weird too!
What are you mixing up here for?
Forgot who’s dog you are?
Just in that instant.
Zhao Yingjun suddenly realized, this small restaurant private room seemed to be divided into two parts.
Her parents and VV, all circled around the little girl who was eating steak with her head down.
She stood alone here, completely unattended.
“Whose child is this after all?”
After sitting down, Zhao Yingjun, with her hands propped on the table, looked at the swaying pair of goat horn braids and the two tacky fake flowers on the braids:
Upon hearing the word “name,” the little girl eating steak activated a conditioned reflex, lifting her head, and looking at Zhao Yingjun:
In the moment their eyes met, Zhao Yingjun froze.
It was as if she were looking into a mirror, a mirror of time and space, on this side of the mirror was the 25-year-old her, and standing on the other side was her 15-year-old self.
Zhao Yingjun softly repeated the name.
No recollection whatsoever.
It must be a relative from her mother’s side, right?
They shared the same surname after all.
This little girl was way too similar in appearance, almost exactly like her own childhood self?
Seeing Zhao Yingjun standing there speechless…
Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei exchanged glances, feeling it was time to move to the next step of indirect questioning.
Yan Mei picked up a napkin, wiped Yan Qiaoqiao’s mouth to make her cheeks look cleaner, and while looking at Zhao Yingjun:
“Don’t you think Qiaoqiao looks just like you when you were small?”
“Indeed, very similar.”
“[If you had a daughter, do you think she would look too?]” Yan Mei inquired further.
Zhao Yingjun chuckled:
“What’s this, a new marriage pressure tactic?
Enough already, if every meal you’re going to bring up these boring matters…
I think we better not eat together anymore.”
Zhao Ruihai narrowed his eyes.
He captured Zhao Yingjun’s expressions and reactions entirely.
Just as he had thought.
Yingjun truly was unaware of this little girl’s existence, and it was also clear that this was her first encounter with the little girl today; her expression couldn’t lie.
Zhao Ruihai pondered for a moment, then decided to tell the whole truth:
“Now that it has come to this, let’s just speak frankly.
“This little girl is someone your mother and I picked up on our way home, and then we took her to the hospital for a DNA test.
she’s related by blood to both of us, definitely a descendant of your mother and me.”
Zhao Yingjun had just picked up a glass of water and gently placed it back on the table.
She then straightened up.
Crossing her arms, looking at her parents:
She paused for a moment to digest the news:
“So, today is a very serious family meeting.”
“That’s right.” Zhao Ruihai nodded.
“It seems like there’s a long-kept secret about to be announced.”
“That’s right.” Yan Mei nodded.
“[When did you two give me a younger sister?]”
Zhao Yingjun eyed the little girl, estimating her age:
“Was it during the time I was studying abroad?
You’ve hidden her so well; she’s grown so big, yet I’ve never met her not even once…”
“I mean, if you had a second child, then you had a second child.
What’s there to hide?
Although I understand the country’s policy might not allow it and my dad’s status certainly needs some concealment.
But is there really a need to keep it from me too?”
Zhao Ruihai waved his hands:
“Where did your thoughts go?
How could your mother and I have had such an opportunity?
And the hospital doctor said as well, from DNA test analysis, Yan Qiaoqiao cannot be our child, she seems more like…
