Chapter 11 A womanizing scumbag like him doesn't deserve to be my father!
Lu Fan sat in the car, not annoyed that Jiang Sifan had deleted him from WeChat, but instead laughed.
Although both siblings harbored a hint of hostility towards him.
But that's normal.
After all, he was a stranger who suddenly approached her, and Jiang Silu's closest mother had repeatedly warned her not to see him.
If we are not vigilant at this time, then we are too insensitive to the dangers of this society.
In this world, good people make up the majority.
But there are also many bad people.
In particular, Lu Fan, having navigated the business world for the past twenty years, has a deeper understanding of the various deceitful and treacherous tactics involved.
He looked up and asked Chen He, "Chen He, did Yi Xia accept those gifts?"
"Boss, when the proprietress opened the flower shop door and saw the gifts, she ultimately took them inside," Chen He explained.
After listening, Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction.
When Jiang Yixia kicked him out of the flower shop, Lu Fan left the gifts he was carrying at the door.
Among them are some high-end skincare products, as well as tonics such as bird's nest and cordyceps.
Although Jiang Yixia did hate Lu Fan, she wasn't stupid.
It would be a waste to throw all these gifts in the trash.
Hating yourself is one thing, but taking that emotion out into your life is not Jiang Yixia's style.
He immediately stood up and said to Chen He, "Chen He, come on, let's go for a swim."
"Okay, boss."
Lu Fan's manor includes a complex of buildings specifically for fitness.
One of the floors has a swimming pool the size of four or five basketball courts.
Chen He especially enjoys swimming here, but he can only go into the water for a while when Lu Fan wants to have a swimming competition.
"Same as before, whoever loses has to run ten laps around the pool." As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan leaped into the pool.
Upon seeing this, Chen He immediately shouted, "Boss, you're cheating!"
......
That evening, Jiang Silu called Jiang Yixia.
"Hey, Lulu~"
Although she was deeply moved after seeing Lu Fan today, Jiang Yixia still tried her best to maintain a calm tone when facing the child.
"Mom, are you still at the flower shop?" Jiang Silu asked.
"Yes, someone just came to buy flowers, so I was thinking of closing a little later," Jiang Yixia explained.
Jiang Silu said with concern, "Oh, Mom, it's getting late. You should close the shop and stop operating. My brother and I can earn money now, so you don't need to work so hard."
"Do you think there won't be many places to spend money in the future? Four years from now, when you graduate and start working, your brother will get married and you will get married. Your brother's dowry and your dowry will all need to be prepared." Jiang Yixia said with a smile.
Jiang Silu said, "My brother and I will earn these through our own abilities, so you don't need to worry about it. Besides, if we encounter those outrageous dowry and bride price customs, my brother and I will simply not get married. What era are we living in? Why do we still have to ask for such high dowries?"
"You make it sound so easy. My only wish now is to see you all settle down and start your own families. That will put my mind at ease. Even if I'm the only one left at home, I won't have anything to worry about," Jiang Yixia said cheerfully.
Hearing Jiang Yixia say this, Jiang Silu tentatively suggested, "Mom, why don't you find someone else? My brother and I are both adults now, and we've always wanted a man to take care of you. You're too tired."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yixia felt a sudden shiver run down her spine.
The image of that scumbag immediately flashed into my mind.
She then awkwardly explained, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to think about this right now. Besides, you can't just find any man you want; it's not that easy."
"Oh, right, Mom, Uncle Lu came to see me again today," Jiang Silu replied.
Jiang Yixia immediately tensed up: "He contacted you again? Did he do anything to you?"
"No, I told him to stay away from him, and he left looking a little disappointed," Jiang Silu explained. "Mom, is he really a bad person? I don't think he seems like one."
Jiang Yixia hesitated as she listened to her daughter's words.
"mom?"
After Jiang Silu called out, Jiang Yixia took a deep breath and then said earnestly, "Lulu, what I'm about to say might be a big shock to you, so be prepared."
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Mom, please tell me!" Jiang Silu asked curiously.
"That Uncle Lu is your biological father, a dad you've never met."
Jiang Silu: ......
"What the hell?!" Jiang Silu exclaimed in surprise. "You mean he's the one who abandoned the three of us?!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yixia immediately explained, "No, no, Lulu, although your father did do something wrong to your mother before, he did not abandon you. Back then, your mother left in a fit of anger, and he did not know that I was pregnant."
"He met you by chance that day, and seeing that you looked very much like me, he knew that you were my daughter. Later, he asked around and learned that you and your brother were his biological children, so he wanted to recognize you as soon as possible."
"And today he tried everything he could to find his mother and beg for her forgiveness."
When Jiang Silu heard this, she asked anxiously, "Mom, he contacted you? Did he do anything to you? Did he bully you?!"
No, no.
Although Lu Fan had indeed betrayed Jiang Yixia in the past, she still tried her best to maintain the image of the biological father in front of the children: "After he found out that you and your brother were his biological children, he came to me immediately and wanted me to forgive him, which shows that he actually cares about you very much."
"Hmph, if you cared about me and my brother, where were you all those years ago? Why didn't you come looking for us then? When I was little, I so hoped that one day my dad would suddenly appear, and then I could openly tell my friends, 'Look, this is my dad!'"
"But he hasn't shown up all these years! He wasn't there when my brother and I needed him the most!" Jiang Silu became increasingly angry as she spoke. She said to Jiang Yixia, "Mom, if he dares to harass you again, remember to tell me. My brother and I will take the high-speed train back immediately. Our Jiang family will never be bullied!"
"Lulu, don't worry, he won't bully me." Jiang Yixia tentatively said, "If you're willing, you can forgive your father, after all, he really didn't know you were his children."
She didn't want her two children to live in the shadow of hatred towards their father for the rest of their lives, and she could indeed sense from Lu Fan's actions that he wanted to acknowledge the two children.
If I can ease the tension between them, I might be able to atone for my past mistake of leaving them behind.
After all, it was her fault for leaving in a fit of anger and raising two children alone, causing them to grow up without a father's presence.
Hearing Jiang Yixia's words, Jiang Silu replied, "Okay, but now that I know he's my father, I don't want to see him anymore."
Jiang Yixia knew that her daughter would need some time to process this before she could fully accept it.
After hanging up the phone, she told Jiang Sifan about it.
After all, the children are older, and they have the right to know who their biological father is.
Unlike Jiang Silu, Jiang Sifan was not emotionally stable. When he learned that Lu Fan was his biological father, he became even angrier and said, "Mom, why didn't you say so sooner?! If I had known he was my dad, I would have punched him right then and there! That womanizing scumbag doesn't deserve to be my father!!"
