Foreign love affair ends in marriage

  Zhao Zhibang held onto Xingzi's hand and apologized non-stop, at this moment he also didn't know what to do.

  "Old Master..." Zhao Chuanfu suddenly appeared behind Zhao Zhibang, making Li Yu'e extremely nervous. She was afraid that Zhao Chuanfu would do something even more irrational.

  "Uncle..." Anzi had already squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying, but when she heard Zhao Chuanfu came, she still wiped away her tears and stood up to shout. It can be said that this 'Japanese' person's traditional moral integrity is still 'not bad'.

  "Xingzi, I'm sorry. Just now was my momentary loss of composure. I apologize to you, please don't take it to heart!" Zhao Chuanfu's words suddenly and completely stunned the three people present. This change was something that the three people had not expected at all.

  "Ah! Uncle, you mustn't say that! I...I...I..." Anzi looked at Zhao Chuanfu bowing to her and didn't know what to do. In Japan, it's absolutely unacceptable for an elder to bow to a younger person, and she suddenly became tongue-tied.

  "Dad!!! Don't be like this!" Zhao Zhibang was also at a loss seeing his father's sudden change in attitude.

  "Zhibang, just now it was not Father's fault, everyone please go in first!" After finishing speaking, he silently carried the luggage of Xingzi and walked in. The three people behind him looked at each other, and finally followed Zhao Chuanfu into the house with caution under their puzzled eyes.

  "Actually, our whole family likes apricot kernel, of course including me. My sudden impulse just now was because... Ah... Zhao Chuanfu sat down on the sofa and looked at Apricot for a moment before saying this, but he couldn't finish what he wanted to say and choked up."

  "Master, it's been so long since everything happened, and today is Xingzi's first time coming to our house, let's not mention those sad things." Seeing Zhao Chuanfu getting excited again, Li Yujiao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

  Zhao Zhibang saw this and was momentarily unclear about what had happened to make his father so sad. But he knew it must have something to do with 'Ri' himself, but as for what exactly happened, his family had never mentioned it to him. However, when he saw Little Four also start crying beside him, he suddenly seemed to understand a bit: "Is something wrong with Old Qin Uncle?"

  Lao Qin Shu in Zhao Zhibang's mouth is called Qin Yingping, who is also the father of Xiao Si. Zhao Chuanfu and Qin Yingping are like close brothers, and Qin Yingping has always helped the Zhao family with their business wholeheartedly. He is the person Zhao Chuanfu trusts most. There is another important reason: the two grew up together since childhood, not biological brothers but closer than biological brothers. The Qin family has been working for the Zhao family since Zhao Qikong, Zhao Chuanfu's great-grandfather, opened a security company. Back then, Zhao Qikong and Qin Yingping's great-grandfather Qin Fanglin were sworn brothers. Since then, the relationship between the two families has become closer and closer. Even when the Zhao family declined, the Qin family did not despise or abandon them. After Zhao Chuanfu's father died, Qin Yingping's father took good care of the widowed mother and her children. Otherwise, Zhao Chuanfu and his mother might have starved to death in that era.

  "Old Qin Uncle is gone!" Li Yu'e handed the handkerchief in her hand to Zhao Chuanfu, and she herself couldn't help but burst into tears.

  "What's wrong with Old Qin? Is it because of the Japanese?" Just as his own thoughts were confirmed by his mother, Zhao Zhibang's heart suddenly sank. He felt like crying, but he couldn't cry out loud, it was as if his heart was about to burst. After enduring for a long time, he finally let out a loud wail. Since he was old enough to understand things, Qin Yingping had treated him with the same love and care as his own son, and in Zhao Zhibang's heart, Qin Yingping was just like his own father.

  "In the year 1918, Japan occupied Northeast China. Because the Northeast Army retreated too quickly, your father and others didn't have time to transfer the goods from the Shenyang store, so they had to bury all the valuable things overnight. Later, because of a traitor's betrayal, the Japanese came with him to ask Uncle Qin to reveal the burial site, but Uncle Qin refused to say even in death. In the end, he was killed by the Japanese... Those beasts! Your aunt was also raped and humiliated by them, and later took her own life..." Li Yujiao said, already unable to speak due to sobbing."

  "Then father you..." Zhao Zhibang didn't finish speaking, but Zhao Chuanfu understood his son's meaning.

  "That day, I just happened to go out and try to find a way back to Guannei. Who knew! Ah..., Old Qin was the same, I, Zhao Chuanfu, would rather exhaust my family's wealth than see you die..." After saying that, he burst into loud sobs again.

  "Uncle, I'm sorry! We Japanese have done so much harm to the Chinese people! I also deeply resent those militarists. In Japan, most Japanese people do not want war and even less want Japan to invade other countries... " Xingzi listened to Li Yujiao's words and also burst into tears, she choked back a sob and bowed deeply to Zhao Chuanfu and Xiao Si.

  Her full name is Ishii Kyoko, and the Ishii family was also a well-known local family that could be considered a scholarly family. Her great-grandfather had been a teacher of the Japanese emperor, her grandfather was a famous Japanese painter, and her uncle Ishii Shirō was a leading figure in Japanese chemical research. As a woman, she naturally disliked violence, so she was very much opposed to the extreme forces within Japan, and in her heart, she sympathized with China and other neighboring countries that had been invaded by Japan.

  "I know it's not your fault, Uncle Zhao just lost his temper for a moment. Please forgive him, Zhangzi!" Zhao Chuanfu wiped away his tears and composed himself slightly before saying this to Zhangzi.

  "Alright, now let's talk about you two! Zhibang is not young anymore, as long as you both are willing, I won't stand in the way. However, considering the current situation, it's best not to be too extravagant." Zhao Chuanfu said with a forced smile after patting his own leg.

  "Dad, I've already discussed it with Xingzi. As long as you agree, once we find jobs, we'll take a trip to the upper reaches of the Yellow River and consider that our honeymoon! Besides, Xingzi has always wanted to see China's mother river!"

  "Ah, good, good, good, so very good! These two getting married is all about living in harmony for the rest of their lives. Oh, right! And what about Qiu Zhang's parents... Zhi Bang you..." Zhao Chuanfu listened to his son finish speaking and then said several "goods" in a row.

  "Dad, when we came here, we had already asked for the consent of Apricot's father. They respect our own thoughts and just let us settle down here before writing a letter back to tell them!" Zhao Zhibang looked at Apricot and then responded.

  Soon, Zhao Zhibang and Ishii Kyoko both found work at the Maryknoll Hospital in Tianjin, an American church hospital. Before they started working, the two also spent four days traveling along the Yellow River, where the mother river of the Chinese nation witnessed their love.

  After marriage, the couple was inseparable and could be called a perfect match, truly a heavenly pair. Not long after working in the hospital, they became well-known figures within the hospital, partly due to their Kyoto Imperial University education and solid skills, but also because of their enviable happy marriage.
