in order to get in touch with Nannan's parents and Nannan, they thought of this blind date trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third step,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they get close to Nannan, and it is very likely they will spend money to bribe Nannan's parents, making Nannan's parents force Nannan to agree to this marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth step,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>although Xu Hongdou couldn't guess what method they would use to get Nannan and their son lying in the hospital bed to obtain a legally recognized marriage certificate, once Nannan and that man got the certificate, it would mean that the man would replace Nannan's parents and decide everything for Nannan in the future...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth step,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after getting the marriage certificate, what the man's parents would need to do is wait for Nannan to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if the man's condition worsened and he couldn't wait, the man's parents might even very likely take action against Nannan in advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, according to Nannan's current situation, a relatively serious cold or fever could very likely cost Nannan her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the method to make Nannan sick was really simple...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after Nannan could no longer be saved,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man's parents would find a way to persuade the doctor to agree to Nannan's organ donation in the name of Nannan's husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the man lying in the hospital bed would be saved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after he survived, perhaps the first thing he would do is forget about Nannan's existence and throw himself into a brand-new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Nannan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would only remain in the memories of Nannan's parents and Xu Hongdou...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After involuntarily imagining a long story,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou had no good feelings left for the parents in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, she was only judging the true purpose of these two people toward Nannan based on her own instincts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Hongdou speak so bluntly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man's parents looked at each other, then shook their heads and smiled bitterly in helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although just a moment ago, they had already agreed with Chen Nanxing's parents that they absolutely must not tell Chen Nanxing and others about the ghost marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou's aggressiveness left them not knowing how to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitating for a while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man's mother, Auntie Li, gave a bitter smile and then said: \"Nanxing, actually it's like this: we knew your real situation from the beginning, knew you had cancer, so that's why we found you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because, our Taotao, he...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie Li was about to tell the truth with a crying tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father immediately spoke up to interrupt: \"Nannan, it's Dad who let you down. Actually, their child is also a cancer patient...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing, upon hearing this, looked at her father with some disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou also looked at the man's parents with a bewildered expression, then turned to look at Chen Nanxing's father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that's it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blurted out in a moment of desperation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father could only continue to make up lies: \"Their son Taotao is also in the late stages of cancer and doesn't have many days left. However, like us, they both want to see you two get married, have children, and grow old together...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we know you don't have the time or this opportunity anymore. However, we can't bear it! Nannan, Dad can't bear to lose you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When saying these words, Chen Nanxing's father actually showed true emotion, saying with tears streaming down his face: \"Nannan, Dad knows you are in great pain, and knows you are very tired, knows you are having a hard time. But what about your mom and me? We are also very tired and having a hard time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the child we raised from a young age, a piece of flesh that fell from your mother's body. Oh, you'll just close your eyes and leave me and your mom behind. Have you ever thought about how we are supposed to live?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nannan, you are our only child. Since you were born, your mom and my biggest wish has been to watch you grow into an adult, then watch you get married and have children, then help you take care of the kids, do housework...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nannan, since you were born, your mom and dad's lives have been full of your presence. But you suddenly got cancer, suddenly you're going to leave. I know you are in great pain, but have you ever thought that Mom and Dad are actually in even more pain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the daughter we raised with our own hands, yet we have to bury you with our own hands. Have you ever thought about how heart-wrenching and painful this is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father wiped his tears and cried out in a low voice: \"Nannan, you'll just leave like that, have you ever thought about Mom and Dad? How are Mom and Dad supposed to live? Mom and Dad raised you for so many years, is this how you repay us? You are unfilial, Nannan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father's words were sincere and heartfelt, and carried much helplessness and bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's eyes and nose turned red, and she tried hard to hold back her tears, but they still couldn't stop flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And opposite,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Tao's mother was already crying like a tearful person, her body trembling violently with sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Tao's father bit his lip tightly, not saying a word, but a trace of blood had already seeped out from the side of his lips...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Hongdou originally didn't want to be suspicious anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these words from Chen Nanxing's father, although somewhat unreasonable, were very much in line with the logic and sentiment of a small place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nannan and Xiong Tao were both late-stage cancer patients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As parents, they were both heartbroken and regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having raised their children to adulthood with great difficulty, what parents might want to see most is their children's wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the situation at hand was that before the wedding had any prospect, they had to start worrying about their children's funerals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of pain,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>only those who have experienced the tragedy of parents burying their children can deeply understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much others try to empathize, they cannot understand that sorrow and helplessness that hurts to the depths of the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>two families with cancer patients, hiding their sorrow, forcing themselves to smile, and using this last bit of time to help their children complete the most important journey of their lives,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was actually something that couldn't be criticized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this relationship was fake, and this marriage was fake,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but these were no longer important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was important was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at least at the last moment of their lives, they completed a joyous journey they should have experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these were all fake, at least they had gone through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sets of parents, while in sorrow and pain, could also feel some comfort because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they went to the underworld, the two children could keep each other company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, they wouldn't be lonely on the road to the afterlife...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou was also a child from a modest family, and her hometown was also in the countryside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she didn't approve of the behavior of the two parents in front of her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she could understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>although she and Chen Nanxing were not yet parents, they had seen many heartbreaking things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the pain of losing a son or daughter was something she and Chen Nanxing could imagine but could never truly experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou sighed softly in her heart, intending not to dwell on this matter anymore and let Nannan make her own decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Nannan agreed, Xu Hongdou would even offer her own blessings to Nannan and that Xiong Tao whom she hadn't met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just as Xu Hongdou made up her mind not to get involved anymore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou discovered that the man's mother, Auntie Li, had a trace of sarcasm and amusement in her eyes as she looked at Chen Nanxing's father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of look made Xu Hongdou feel very wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father was speaking from the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As families with cancer patients, the man's parents should have felt even more empathy for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would the man's mother show such a look at this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the man's father, honestly, his acting seemed a bit over the top?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully observing the state of the man's parents at this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the doubts in Xu Hongdou's heart deepened a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time, Xu Hongdou had no way to directly judge the truth of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she could only wait and see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father's words left everyone speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing endured for a long time, and finally ended up crying in her mother's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou, with tears in her eyes, whispered to persuade Chen Nanxing and Chen Nanxing's mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two people's emotions gradually calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing seemed to have made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her head and looked at the man's parents opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she looked at her father's graying hair and her mother's wrinkle-filled eye corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing sighed softly and then said: \"Dad, Mom, Uncle Xiong, Auntie Li... if things are really like this, I, I agree...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing originally wanted to say \"I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just at this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>",1729,"2026-06-16T19:41:50.437Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
