Chapter 254 Marriage partner
The car was driving at full speed, speeding along the road like an arrow.
It didn't take long before we arrived at the doorstep.
Lan Yaoxia opened the car door and got out, striding towards the entrance of the villa.
As soon as I stepped through the door, my eyes were attracted by the scene in front of me - I saw the mother holding the lovely Jiaojiao in her arms, with a loving smile on her face.
The father stood quietly by, watching this heartwarming scene intently.
At this moment, Lan Ning was holding a glass of orange juice in her hand, sipping it leisurely.
When she saw her brother coming back, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and she said jokingly: "Wow! You're back so soon!"
"Look at how anxious you are. Are you afraid that I will do something to your daughter?"
Lan Yaoxia didn't stop when she heard this, and walked straight towards her sister, saying as she walked, "Sister, before you take the child away, please tell me."
However, before he could finish his words, Wu Jun, who was holding the child, interrupted and said, "What's wrong? Can't your father and I see our granddaughter?"
"It was me who asked your elder sister to bring the child back. If you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you can vent it to mom."
Lan Yonggui, who was standing by, saw this and his expression instantly darkened. He said with a stern face, "Humph! Why are you suddenly running back home when you're not going to the group now?"
Facing his father's question, Lan Yaoxia paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and responded, "Nothing else, I just came back to see the child first."
Seeing his own son in front of him, he was actually talking nonsense with his eyes open.
Lan Yonggui couldn't help but snort coldly, with a tone of dissatisfaction and questioning: "Did that woman cause trouble for you?"
He frowned, seeming to agree with the idea.
Then, Lan Yonggui continued to express his own opinions, as if everything was under control: "In my opinion, we should just give her a considerable sum of money and bring our lovely granddaughter home, and everything will be fine!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to indicate numbers, as if the money was already in front of him.
However, Lan Yaoxia had completely different ideas about Lan Yonggui's proposal.
He knew his father's intentions very well, but deep down he couldn't agree with them.
When her father spoke again, Lan Yaoxia interrupted without hesitation: "Dad, no matter what, she is my daughter's biological mother after all!"
These words were like a bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky, instantly breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere.
Lan Yaoxia continued with a firm gaze, "Rather than leaving the child outside to be taken care of by others, it would be more appropriate for her, as a mother, to personally raise the child."
Lan Yonggui's eyes widened, anger burning in his eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He obviously had not expected that his son would dare to refute him so boldly.
"What? Are you attracted to that woman?"
Lan Yonggui questioned angrily, his voice full of majesty.
Hearing her father's words, Lan Yaoxia's body shook violently and she paused for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
Gently shook his head and said: "No!"
However, the atmosphere at this moment had become extremely tense, as if it was a string stretched to the extreme that could break at any time.
Seeing this, Lan Ning, who was standing by, also began to worry about her brother.
I know that if my brother continues to talk back, he will suffer physical pain.
He tried to change the subject and ease the tense situation by saying, "Second brother, it's just in time for you to come back."
Then, Lan Ning took a deep breath and continued, "My parents have already found a marriage for you. The other party is the daughter of the Fan family in Dang Rao - Fan Qingyi."
"I heard that you two met once last year."
"Moreover, when Fan Qingyi found out that the person she wanted to marry was you, she readily agreed over the phone right away!"
Fan Qingyi!
This name flashed through my mind like a twinkling star in the night sky.
Thoughts came flooding back like a tide, recalling the time I met her when I first went to the capital.
Wu Jun's words echoed in his ears again: "I specifically asked about that girl, and she is a very good person."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed his satisfaction and anticipation for this marriage.
Then, I heard another concerned and urgent voice: "When you get married in the future, you must give up this bad habit of smoking."
"This way, it won't take long before you can successfully conceive a lovely baby."
Lan Yaoxia sat down on the extremely soft sofa slowly and gently.
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes wandered a little, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and his whole body was immersed in a short, quiet state of meditation.
When he raised his head, he met his father's warning eyes.
Her heart tightened, but she soon regained her composure, because Lan Yaoxia knew very well that at this moment, she had no other choice.
After a moment of silence, Lan Yaoxia said softly: "I understand."
Although the voice was not loud, it carried an unspeakable sense of compromise.
At this moment, Jiaojiao, who had been lying quietly in Wu Jun's arms, suddenly burst into tears without any warning.
The cry was loud and piercing, instantly breaking the peaceful atmosphere that had just been balanced.
Seeing this, Lan Ning hurried forward to check on the situation and said to her mother, "Mom, this child is crying so hard, is he hungry?"
After listening to his daughter's words, Wu Jun felt that there was some truth in them.
So she quickly turned around and gave the babysitter an order: "Go get some milk powder! Quick!"
After receiving the order, the nanny did not dare to neglect it and immediately walked quickly to the kitchen to prepare the milk powder.
While waiting, Lan Ning picked up a glass of orange juice and sipped it slowly, while curiously asking, "Have you chosen a formal name for the baby?"
Hearing this, Lan Yaoxia smiled slightly and replied: "Well, I just gave her a nickname, called 'Jiaojiao'."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with affection.
Lan Yonggui glanced at his granddaughter who was still crying, then turned to his son and said, "The official name still needs to be decided by the old man."
"Just stay out of it"
Lan Yaoxia nodded silently.
"That Jiaojiao..."
Wu Jun knew what his son meant. It had been so long since his granddaughter was brought back, and the woman outside must have been going crazy with anxiety.
"You can't take him back now. Your grandfather said he will take him to the old house tomorrow."
"Your grandparents have to give her a name."
Lan Yaoxia knew that she couldn't take her daughter with her today, so she stood up and said, "I'm going back to the group first."
