Chapter 13

Yu Changfeng?

When she heard the name, Yu Ruyan’s back suddenly stiffened.

She only felt her scalp tingling, so much so that her body was shaking when she stood up.

In her previous life, her father was also called Yu Changfeng!

Although my mother rarely mentioned my father’s past, she still knew his name.

I only know his name!

Yu Changfeng!

The surname “Yu” is very rare, but now not only did I meet a man with the same surname Yu, but his name is even exactly the same as my father’s.

A light-hearted coincidence is not convincing enough.

“Come, Changfeng, let me introduce you!”

Dong Zhange patted Yu Changfeng’s shoulder, brought him to Yu Ruyan, and said, “My wife, Yu Ruyan!”

When Yu Changfeng heard the name “Yu Ruyan”, he was stunned.

He suddenly smiled and said, “After I got engaged, I thought of a name for my future daughter. What a coincidence! I also think the name ‘Yu Ruyan’ sounds nice!”

The men burst into laughter.

Dong Zhange raised his hand and punched Yu Changfeng, then cursed with a smile: “Damn it, are you taking advantage of me like this? What do you want me to do? Otherwise, I will call you father-in-law?”

“It’s not impossible. We have wine and food. If you toast me again, I’ll give you a red envelope.”

Yu Changfeng immediately sat on the chair, waiting for Dong Zhange to toast him and call him dad.

Instead of getting any wine, he got a beating from Dong Zhange.

Other comrades also joined in the fun. Some helped Dong Zhange to deal with Yu Changfeng, while others helped Yu Changfeng to fight back against Dong Zhange. The scene was very chaotic, yet extremely lively.

However, this group of people seemed to have eyes behind their backs, and no matter how much they quarreled and fought, they did not accidentally hurt Yu Ruyan.

Yu Ruyan stared blankly at Yu Changfeng who was being pressed down by Dong Zhange. Her mind was blank and she felt that the world was unpredictable.

The father whom I had no chance to meet in the previous life, unexpectedly met in this life in such a dramatic way.

When they met again, they were no longer daughter and father, but comrades and their wives.

Trying hard to suppress the myriad thoughts in her mind, Yu Ruyan forced a smile and patted the table.

“Dong Zhange, it’s almost done!”

Yu Ruyan’s voice was not loud, but it was very majestic, and she instantly calmed down the war in the room.

Dong Zhange let go of Yu Changfeng and sat back next to his wife.

“For my wife’s sake, I’ll let you off this once today. I’m warning you, go home and change your daughter’s name immediately, or I’ll kill you!”

Xu Desheng was clapping his hands on the table and laughing.

“It’s not Old Xu who decides whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Maybe it will be a boy?”

At this point, Xu Desheng gossiped about Yu Changfeng and asked, “Didn’t you do anything with your fiancée when you went back to get engaged?”

“Fuck you!”

Yu Changfeng pushed away Xu Desheng’s face with a dirty smile.

“Doing that before marriage is considered hooliganism. Do you think everyone is like you? You got a girl pregnant before marriage and became a father within five months of marriage!”

Xu Desheng didn’t care.

He glanced at Yu Changfeng and then at Dong Zhange.

“Tsk, once you get a taste of that, you won’t be able to stop… Zhan Ge has the right to speak now. After all, he even alarmed the doctor on his wedding night!”

Don’t bring up things that are not related to the topic.

Dong Zhange first glanced at Yu Ruyan, then pointed at Xu Desheng and scolded him with a smile.

“I’ve just warned you, if anyone brings this up again, I’ll have a falling out with them!”

“Yes, yes, my sister-in-law is still here. We have to take care of her feelings and not let her think we are a bunch of old hooligans!”

Zhang Weiguo tugged at Xu Desheng’s sleeve and whispered, “Respect your female comrades and stop making dirty jokes!”

Xu Desheng reacted and slapped himself in the face.

He gave Yu Ruyan an apologetic smile and apologized hurriedly.

“Oh, look at my broken mouth. I’m so sorry!”

Yu Ruyan didn’t take it to heart.

She wasn’t so fragile that she couldn’t stand a few jokes, and besides, the other person had no ill intentions.

She smiled and said, “It’s okay!”

Everyone returned to their seats to drink, eat and chat. Yu Changfeng happened to be sitting opposite Yu Ruyan. He looked at Yu Ruyan from time to time with a slightly complicated expression.

“Hey, hey, hey, Yu Changfeng, don’t peek at my wife, or I’ll be jealous!”

Dong Zhange picked up a peanut and smashed it on Yu Changfeng’s forehead, warning him with a smile.

“It’s strange to say, but the first time I saw your wife, I had this indescribable feeling in my heart, as if I owed her something. I felt guilty and even a little sad.”

There was confusion and a wry smile in Yu Changfeng’s eyes.

“It’s a new society now. Past lives and present lives are no longer important. If you feel guilty, why not call me dad?”

Well, men are so childish.

The closer the friends are, the more they like to be each other’s father.

“Fuck you!”

Yu Changfeng picked up the peanut again and threw it back at Dong Zhange’s forehead, scolding him with a smile.

The atmosphere was lively and everyone toasted Dong Zhange and Yu Ruyan, congratulating them on their happy marriage.

Dong Zhange’s alcohol tolerance was not very good, and he felt a little tipsy after a while.

At first he tried to hold himself up, but later he simply leaned on Yu Ruyan and used her shoulder as a pillow.

Yu Ruyan finally found an opportunity to talk to Yu Changfeng.

“I just heard that you’re engaged? What does your fiancée…do?”

Yu Changfeng put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, “Elementary school teacher.”

“Then… then may I ask again, what is her name?”

Even though she knew it was rude to ask someone else’s fiancée’s name, Yu Ruyan still asked in order to solve the mystery in her heart.

Yu Changfeng replied: “Jiang Nan! Jiang from Jiang Ziya, Nan from Nanmu!”

Jiang Nan!

This name was like a cannonball, exploding in Yu Ruyan’s mind.

I was clearly mentally prepared.

But when her guess was confirmed, when she was sure that the young man in front of her who was chatting and laughing was the father who gave her life but did not fulfill his responsibilities, Yu Ruyan could not help but tremble all over.

Thinking of the difficult years she and her mother had to depend on each other for survival, and thinking of those bad kids pointing at her nose and calling her a fatherless bastard, Yu Ruyan’s heart ached so much.

When her mother was dying, she finally mustered up the courage to ask about her father.

“I love him very much, but if there is an afterlife, I don’t want to marry him again. It’s too bitter and painful!”

In her previous life, Yu Ruyan lost her mother forever on her ninth birthday and became an orphan.

Later, when she was sorting through her mother’s belongings, she found a diary.

The contents of the diary must have been torn out by my mother, with only the last page filled with messy handwriting.

“Your death anniversary is the day our daughter was born. You promised to be with me forever, but you abandoned us. I hate you! I will always hate you!”

The entire page was covered with the three words “I hate you”, as if he had used up all his strength, so much so that the paper was torn and filled with ink clumps.

Yu Ruyan woke up from her memories and suddenly looked up at Yu Changfeng.

His death anniversary? Her birthday?

According to the time calculation, he will die in the late autumn three years from now…
