Chapter 23: The Honest Fake Daughter (23)

This is a Chinese-style garden house covering an area of ​​eight acres.

The exterior walls are made of stone and brick, and the roof is covered with green tiles.

As if it has experienced thousands of years of ancient charm, the garden has towering trees, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and towers...

A garden in the south of the Yangtze River encompasses everything.

Without the obstruction of tall buildings, when you look up you will see the vast blue sky, and your heart will become peaceful and tranquil.

If the person standing next to her was not the one she was most familiar with, Lin Ran would have wondered if she had traveled through time again and to which dynasty she had traveled.

"Sheng Yu, is this your home?"

As Chi Sheng nodded very casually, Lin Ran became uneasy.

She thought Chi Shengyu was just a popular star whose family was a little rich. Plus, he had a high income, so naturally he lived a much better life than ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, he is actually a nobleman from a really wealthy family!

Such a large house would require a lot of manpower and financial resources just for its daily maintenance!
If she had seen it online before, Lin Ran might have commented on this mansion like many other netizens:

"As soon as I see this land, I know it really needs an old slave to clean it!"

And now, Lin Ran can hug Chi Shengyu's arm, look up and tease him: "Husband! You will be my dear husband from now on!"

Chi Sheng's ears turned red, and his body leaned towards her: "Then Ranran, why don't we change our words in advance? From now on, you call me husband and I call you wife..."

Lin Ran immediately let go of his arm, straightened her clothes seriously, glanced at him and gave him three words -

"It's a beautiful thought."

Chi Shengyu couldn't help but laugh at her proud little expression.

He raised his hand and touched her hair, then held her hand and walked in.

……

All the members of the Chi family were waiting at home.

Seeing Chi Shengyu finally lead people in, they all expressed their warm welcome.

Lin Ran was surrounded and greeted by the entire Chi family. She was a little embarrassed at first, but was infected by their enthusiasm and quickly assimilated into the group, answering their questions fluently and confidently.

Lin Ran is not socially anxious, nor does she know what inferiority complex is. When she sees such a wealthy family, she is more curious.

I heard Chi Shengyu say before that his parents accused him of violating family education for not making his relationship public. After getting off the car today and seeing the Chi family's extravagant residence, Lin Ran thought that the Chi family was very particular about rules.

I didn't expect that after getting to know the Chi family, I found that they are actually quite down-to-earth and don't act like wealthy people at all.

Just like she had never seen Chi Sheng act like a young master, they got along very easily and happily.

Through chatting, Lin Ran learned the reason why Mother Chi gave birth to three sons.

Mother Chi and Father Chi were childhood sweethearts and had a strong relationship, so they got married at a very young age.

After two years of living alone together, the couple wanted to have a child.

I gave birth to a son as my first pregnancy, so I wanted a daughter for my second pregnancy. However, I ended up with a son again.

Deep down, she really wanted to have both a son and a daughter. After all, her family could afford to raise them, so Mother Chi gritted her teeth and tried for a third child, and the result was another son!
Mother Chi said that she cried at that time, and cried because she felt so wronged.

From the news, I saw that many families gave birth to several daughters before they finally had a son. Why was it so difficult for her to have a daughter?
Seeing that her three sons were able to sit together and play, Mother Chi’s desire to have a daughter began to resurface.

Mr. Chi was so scared that he went to the hospital to get himself sterilized the next morning, for fear of harming his wife's health.

Father Chi was also very good at comforting her: "Wife, although we don't have a daughter, we have three sons! When one of our sons brings home a daughter-in-law, we will raise the daughter-in-law as a daughter, so we will have three daughters, right?"

Mother Chi was convinced. After her eldest daughter-in-law came into the family, Mother Chi really spoiled her as her own daughter, which also fulfilled her wish of raising a daughter.

Lin Ran did not hide her situation.

Legally, she only has Mr. and Mrs. Lin as her adoptive parents. Her household registration has also been moved out separately, so she is the only one at home now.

She won't recognize her biological parents.

When Zhang Ma and Chen Zhizhu exchanged the fake daughter to the Lin family, it was equivalent to giving the fake daughter up for adoption by her biological parents, meaning that her relationship with her biological parents had been legally severed.

The criminal records of Zhang Ma and Chen Zhizhu will not affect Lin Ran at all. The only offspring affected by their crimes is their own son Chen Jiadong!
The real daughter was abandoned by them before she was registered in the Chen family, so they failed to form a foster relationship and had no influence on the real daughter.

It seemed that the Chi family knew about Lin Ran's situation in advance, and none of them reacted much when they heard her say that.

"No one can choose their own birth, but they can choose their own life. My dear daughter, I can see that you have been trying hard to make the right choice!"

Lin Ran, who was suddenly recognized, began to feel embarrassed again.

In fact, she didn't try that hard...

The atmosphere in the Chi family has always been happy.

After dinner, the Chi family didn't want to take up the young couple's time anymore, so they let Chi Sheng and Lin Ran walk around the house to get familiar with the environment.

Lin Ran followed Chi Shengyu and went to the courtyard to feed the fat fish in the pond raised by Grandpa Chi.

It seems that all grandparents in the world are the same, always afraid that their little pets will be hungry.

Then, we went to see the two rare green peacocks raised by Grandma Chi. We also happened to see a male peacock spreading its feathers to court a mate. It was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Lin Ran was indeed shocked.

In her world, green peacocks are on the verge of extinction, and the only peacocks you see in the zoo are blue peacocks.

I didn’t expect that after traveling through time, I could still see someone keeping two green peacocks with healthy and beautiful fur at home!

"This, can this be raised at home?" Lin Ran couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, falling on the two of them in patches. Chi Shengyu's smiling eyes also flashed with tiny lights: "Once the formalities are completed, we can raise peacocks. Ranran, do you like to raise peacocks too?"

Lin Ran hesitated slightly: "I think I probably just like to watch."

She can’t raise a cactus. If she raises one, it will die. Woohoo.

The two of them visited many places.

Yes, just strolling.

After walking around for a long time, Lin Ran felt very tired. It would be great if there was a sightseeing bus like in scenic spots where she could sit and tour around.

At this moment, Lin Ran saw a small suspicious black ball flash by on the lawn of the grove next to her, and it quickly disappeared from her sight without revealing its original appearance.

"Sheng Yu, what was that black thing just now? Did you see it?"

Lin Ran patted Chi Shengyu's arm with the back of her hand in shock.

Could it be a big rat?
If you think about it carefully, that black shape looks quite like a big rat!
"Huh? Black?" Chi Shengyu didn't notice.

Now following Lin Ran's line of sight, I didn't see any black animals.

Lin Ran nodded confidently: "Yes, it went under the tree and disappeared in an instant! It really looked like a mouse!"

When Chi Shengyu heard it, he immediately thought of what it might be.
