Chapter 487: Regrowing a Daughter

    

Zhu Xiaowei about where to play in the city, but suddenly heard some strange noises from the phone, and hurriedly asked, "Xia Zhu, did you meet someone""It's nothing..." Zhu Xiaowei said, her voice a...On the left side of the TV cabinet in the Qiao family's living room, there were several photo frames. Besides a family portrait of the Qiao family, the rest were photos of children.

"Is this chubby girl Qiao Bao'er"

Lu Qinan curiously picked up one of the photo frames, examining it with a discerning eye. "So small, and won an award in an international piano competition."

Qiao Wenyu was in a foul mood towards Jun Zhimu. Hearing Lu Qinan admiring his daughter's cute childhood photos over there, he couldn't help but say, "She doesn't have a shred of ladylike or artistic temperament. It's her mother who forces her to learn piano..."

Although he was scolding him, Qiao Wenyu still couldn't hide the pride of a father in his eyes.

His daughter, Qiao Bao'er, was a beauty from a young age. Wherever she went, adults praised her. Especially when she was younger and a bit chubby, she was even more adorable. However, as his daughter grew older, she became increasingly disobedient, driving him to the brink of high blood pressure every day.

Junzhi's shepherd put down the teacup in his hand, and his gaze shifted to the photo frames on the TV cabinet.

Each photo captures a moment from Qiao Bao'er's childhood. At just five years old, she wears a charming red and black plaid skirt in an English style, holding the book award for her piano competition win. Though she looks directly at the camera, it doesn't quite capture that carefree and natural smile of hers.

"...She hated playing the piano as a child." Junzhi Mu said.

Then Jun, the shepherd, pursed his lips and let out a light chuckle.

He thought again of Qiao Baoer when she was a child. There was a video of her being forced to practice the piano. She looked at her serious piano teacher and shouted, "I don't want to learn," while wiping her tears and crying. Her little fingers were still honestly playing. She was really funny looking.

It's possible that Qiao Wenyu also immediately thought of this matter and laughed out loud.

Lu Qinan stared at the two men, puzzled by their sudden laughter.

Lu Qinan glanced at the photo frame and said very frankly, “ Qiao Bao'er was really adorable when she was a child.” Pure and beautiful, with high looks, a pair of big eyes clear and bright, who wouldn't want such a cute little girl

Turning to Jun Mu, she smiled and said, "Jun Mu, you and Qiao Ba'er should have a daughter. Daughters are much better than sons. A daughter is a mother's little cotton jacket. Look how small she is, she must be especially adorable, just like Qiao Ba'er."

Lu Qinan excitedly held the photo frame and gestured frantically, trying to coax.

The Lu family has always been one of strong women and weak men. According to his mother, it's incredibly difficult for the Lu family to have a daughter, almost as hard as reaching the sky, so daughters are treasures. Their sons, on the other hand, are constantly belittled like manure.

It's good to have a daughter, girls are precious now.

Even Qiao Wenyu turned to look at Jun Zhim, his eyes secretly filled with anticipation.

When Qiao Wenyu was young and energetic, he focused all his attention on his career. At that time, he had a falling out with Qiao Bao'er's biological mother. Over the years, he has felt some regret that he didn't take good care of his daughter at the time. If he had a granddaughter, if she had the same personality as Bao'er, it should be very fun.

Gu Ruyue, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner, heard their conversation and excitedly ran over.

"As a shepherd, you and Bao'er are still young. Old Master Jun certainly hopes you have several children to make things lively..."

Unlike their faces, which were filled with excited anticipation, Junzhi Mu's expression was rather serious and his tone weighty. "No birth."

"Why, Zhi Mu, don't be too biased towards sons over daughters. Actually, daughters are even more adorable."

Lu Qinian was the first to speak up.

He's now the godfather of the twins. If Qiao Bao'er had a daughter, he could have another free niece.

"Having two sons is enough." It's not about boys and girls, he doesn't want any more children.

Jun Zhi Mu's voice was cold and indifferent, clearly not wanting to discuss this topic further.

Qiao Wenyu's face immediately darkened, and Lu Qinan seemed to have suffered a major loss, sighing hastily.

Gu Ruoyan knew Jun Zhimu's temperament. Even if he said so much, persuasion would be useless.

She laughed and smoothed things over, "Two sons are enough... Actually, having children is very harmful to a woman's body. The more you have, the more damage your body suffers. Some women who have too many children end up with thin bellies, and their bodies can never fully recover as they age..."

Mid-sentence, Gu Ruyue seemed to realize something, and she immediately scrutinized Jun Zimo.

Junzhi Mu's personality has always been meticulous and thoughtful. He considers things that Qiao Ba'er might have overlooked, striving for completeness in everything.

Last time, Qiao Baoer complained on the phone about something that happened. Xiao Zhu bought some pregnancy tests and tested at Jun's house, which came back positive. When Jun Zhi牧 came back and saw it, he thought Qiao Baoer was pregnant and immediately flew into a rage, dragging her to the hospital for a test.

Logically, Bao'er should be pregnant, Jun Zhimu should be very happy.

Gu Ruyan tentatively asked, "Zhi Mu, have you decided Two sons are enough, and you won't have any more children"

His gaze was sharp and piercing, his eyes locked on her. He said nothing.

Gu Ruoyan immediately understood that Bao'er hadn't said she didn't want to have more children; it was Jun Zhimu who had made the decision himself.

Did he go to the hospital and have a vasectomy himself

Thinking of this, Gu Ruyue stared at Jun Zhimu in shock. Jun Zhimu seemed to have understood what she was thinking from her expression. He frowned slightly and ambiguously dropped a sentence.

"This is between the two of us, don't interfere."

Gu Ruoyan saw his assertive attitude and then smiled, “You young people have your own ideas. Companionship until old age, good health is indeed the most important.”

After this incident, Gu Ruyue's previous reservations towards Jun Zh牧 seemed to vanish in an instant.

"Prince Jun is indeed a man worthy of entrusting one's life to." Gu Ruyue returned to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch, her heart filled with contentment that Qiao Baoer had found a good man to accompany her.

Once she always felt that Tang Yu was the most suitable match for Qiao Bao'er. They grew up together and were very compatible. Tang Yu could be said to do anything for Qiao Bao'er, but the fate of marriage is indeed quite wonderful.

At lunchtime, Qiao Baoer noticed something amiss.

Her aunt was frantically serving Jun Zhimu dishes.

At first, I vehemently opposed this marriage. How come you're suddenly so kind to Junzhi Mu

"Jun Mu, I don't know if you like these dishes or not, but please eat more…" This time, Gu Ruyue’s words weren't just polite formalities. She truly meant well and wanted to treat Jun Mu kindly.

Just after finishing the meal, Qiao Bao'er dragged Jun Zhimu to a corner and questioned him, "Did you bribe my family with money"

Jun's shepherd raised an eyebrow and looked at him without speaking.

Qiao Bao'er was anxious, "Hey, who told you to slip money into my family's hands They're not broke and can afford to eat..."

Compared to your family, the Qiao family definitely has a huge wealth gap. But if you give them money, based on her father's pride, he might get angry in a moment.

It's rare to see her so worried.

If money could solve his problems, he wouldn't be so troubled. Seeing Qiao Baoer looking annoyed now actually brings him a bit of comfort.

"Bao'er, call Junzhi to my study!" Qiao Wenyu in the living room suddenly called out to them.

Qiao Bao'er turned back, her gaze filled with worry. She tugged at Jun Zhimu's sleeve and said, "Look, my dad is about to get angry."aused her to immediately lower her head.After her grandmother finished her story, she wiped away some tears and turned to call out, "Bao'er, come closer, take a look at your dad."Her aunt, Gu Ruyue, g...
