"Shen Luhua." The three words came out of her mouth with a force, completely different from the simple woman in the village. As if transformed, if not seen with oneās own eyes, no one would believe the person in front of them was Shen Luhua.
Even with the same clothes, it was a world of difference.
The assistant hurriedly rushed back into the courtyard, "Old leader, old leader..."
"Whatās the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" The doctor was about to help the old man back inside when he heard the anxious scolding, "The old man canāt handle a scare."
"But, someone came outside and said she is Shen Luhua."
The elderly man, who originally had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide, "Quick, let her in..." Before he finished speaking, he paused, for Shen Luhua had already entered, standing straight in front of him.
In those stubborn eyes, there was still the brilliance of the past.
Fifteen years gone, the youngest daughter had aged so much.
The old man suddenly became tearful, "Luhua? Is it you, Luhua?"
"Iām sorry, Father." Shen Luhua slowly knelt down, "Unfilial daughter Shen Luhua has returned." She bowed her head, looking at her fatherās graying hair with emotions too complex to express.
Fifteen hurried years, if not for stubbornness and harshness back then. If she had been calmer and given her father some trust, would they not have missed those fifteen years between father and daughter?
Fortunately, she returned, or else they might never have seen each otherās last faces this lifetime.
"You... where have you been all these years? What about Baoāer? Did you take Baoāer away? Why didnāt you bring her here?" The old man trembled.
"Baoāer is well."
"Then why didnāt you bring her?" The old man got angry, he hadnāt seen his granddaughter for many years.
"Baoāer was captured, sheās likely to be sentenced soon."
"Captured? Who had the audacity?" The old man was furious, "Iām not dead yet!"
Shen Luhua said casually, "It should be Hai Yunfeng with my elder brother and second brother!"
"What? Impossible, are they seeking death?" The old man became angry, temper flaring strong.
The assistant widened his eyes in fear, recalling what he just said, softly asked, "Is Baoāer actually Sheng An?"
"Mm!" Shen Luhua nodded, "Sheng An is Baoāerās name now. She took my husbandās surname after I married."
"My God!" The assistantās mouth dropped open in shock, his jaw almost falling off. What... what... if Hai Yunfeng knew heās caught his own biological daughter, what would his expression be like?
"You got married?"
"Yes! I didnāt follow your wishes and married your friendās son."
The old man felt quite embarrassed, "Itās been so many years, your running away was punishment enough for me, donāt bring it up. By the way, why didnāt you bring the son-in-law?"
"Son-in-law is an honest farmer, not someone you would care for."
Shen Luhua was always so straightforward at home, even with the old man she never yielded face. If she had said so fifteen years ago, he might have whipped her in anger.
But over the years, heād prepared his mind for her death. Now standing alive in front of him, even if she mocked him, he felt joy.
"Bring him over next time for me to meet."
"Perhaps next time!" She had long been completely disappointed with the Shen Family, not planning to let them meet Shengsheng Third. That honest and especially thoughtful man was worth her protecting well.
