Chapter 7020
At this moment.
In the affluent area of Houston, USA, the Duncan family had just finished dinner in their new home,
Which they had purchased for over a million dollars.
Their daughter, Paula, was already pregnant, and with her due date approaching,
She felt overwhelmed after dinner and retired to her room with her husband, Stephen, to rest.
At that moment, Duncan’s wife, Julie, was wearing an apron and clearing the dishes.
Duncan had just finished a group chat with Charlie and his two uncles in the yard and immediately returned home.
He said to his wife, “Julie, I need to go to Australia, right now.”
“Going to Australia? So urgent?”
Julie was surprised. “Paula’s due soon.”
“What’s the big deal? You have to leave now?”
“Don’t let it affect your chances of seeing your grandchild.”
Paula had already been diagnosed with a boy and was due soon.
Her son-in-law, Stephen, had already happily accepted the An family’s proposal,
Deciding that the child would take the mother’s surname, Li.
The Li family had been a single-line family until Duncan’s generation.
When it came to Paula, Duncan had prepared himself for a gruesome rebuke from his father upon his death.
Unexpectedly, the An family helped him turn the tables.
Whether son or grandson, they both inherit half of their family’s bloodline.
In this respect, there’s no difference.
The real difference lies in the surname.
In China, a surname isn’t just a single character; it’s the legacy of the family.
Even if a daughter marries someone with the same surname,
The Li surname of one family is completely different from the Li surname of another.
The generation names of one family might read.
Yu Yan Tan Feng Lian, Cheng Zhen Tian Yin Han; Dai Yu Zhi Jun Shu, Mao Can Pei Ming Yuan.
The generation names of another family might read.
“Wei Zheng Bo Xian Zhe, Jian Shu Yao Hua Guang;”
“Xiang Yun Zhao Jin Xiu, Ming Yue Qing Guo Liang.”
While a child may share the same surname as their parents,
It’s the family name whose name they’re included in that family’s genealogy that counts as continuing the family line.
If no one from the other family continues the family name,
The ancestral generation name will cease.
The boy in Duncan’s daughter’s unborn child is confirmed to take the surname Li,
So he or she will inherit Duncan’s family’s generation name,
And be included in the family tree, ensuring the continuity and growth of the family line.
Therefore, Duncan had long considered this child as his own grandson.
Seeing that his daughter’s due date was approaching,
He naturally wanted to stay and wait for the good news,
But now that Charlie was in trouble and needed his help,
He could not delay in any way.
So, he said to his wife, “This time it’s a matter with Uncle An’s family.”
“It’s quite urgent, and they need me to go over and help.”
“Think about it, our family can be where we are today because of Uncle An’s family.
“Paula’s due date is still in three days.”
“If the labor is late, we may have to wait for a week.”
“The situation is urgent now.”
“How can I wait until Paula gives birth before going?”
Julie nodded in understanding and said,
“But it’s already past nine o’clock.”
“How can you still get a plane to Australia?”
Duncan smiled and said,
“When I say it is an emergency, the plane is ready.”
Julie said nervously, “It’s so urgent.”
“There won’t be any danger, right?”
“No.” Duncan comforted her,
“I’m just going to help Uncle An and the others investigate the whereabouts of someone.”
“It’s nothing serious and there’s no danger. Don’t worry.”
Julie breathed a sigh of relief and said,
“Then you must pay attention to safety too.”
“It will take you at least ten days or half a month to go back and forth.”
“I estimate that when you come back, your grandson will be taken home.”
“We will wait for you to come back safely at home.”
“Okay!”
Duncan smiled and said, “If anything happens to my daughter,”
“Go to the hospital immediately.”
“Remember to update me if you have any news!”
