Chen Lishu said hurriedly: "Auntie, it's my honor for you to like me. How could I not be willing?"
Through these two days of contact, Chen Lishu has a very good impression of Mr. He and his wife. Although they have a distinguished status, they have no airs. Especially when dealing with Ruirui, not only did they not use force to overwhelm others, but they also always stood from the perspective of children.
Thinking about the problem, who can disrespect such an old man?
"So you agree?" He's mother couldn't hide her joy and stood up and said, "Great, I'm going to call Zifeng and the others and have a formal meeting as a family tomorrow night."
Father He: "We are talking right now. Why are you in a hurry? If you call me later, you won't run away."
Mother He: "I'm happy."
Chen Lishu, who was sitting opposite, looked at Gu Xingdong, and the couple looked at each other and smiled.
The three brothers of the He family had mixed reactions when they learned that the old couple wanted to adopt Chen Lishu as their goddaughter.
He Ziyu and He Zifeng naturally agreed very much and were happy for the old couple, but He Zinian felt that it was not necessary at all.
"Mom, why don't you and my father think about it again? They raised Ruirui, so I can give them some financial compensation. How much can you ask them to pay for your daughter? It's really unnecessary, right?
"
He seriously suspected that Chen Lishu and his wife were instigating Ruirui behind their back in order to climb high, and they might have given the old couple some ecstasy soup.
"What's going on in our family? Mom, you and my dad should be careful that some people have ulterior motives."
If there hadn't been a lot of things in the past two days and something happened in the company, he would have sent the couple away early in the morning.
He's mother was very angry as she listened to the second son's bastard words on the other end of the phone.
"Your father and I are not old fools yet. You don't need to remind me. I don't think you, as a father, care about the children as much as Lishu and his wife. Anyway, I have already said that you can come over tomorrow if you want. But
Come and pull him down."
After that, he hung up the phone directly.
The next day, He Zifeng's family of three came over early. As soon as they entered the door, He Zifeng patted Gu Xingdong's shoulder familiarly, laughed and said: "This time I am not only your old leader, I have to change my name from now on."
Can I call you big brother?"
Gu Xingdong followed the good advice: "Brother."
Chen Lishu on the side also shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law."
He Zifeng responded: "Hey, if this bastard makes you angry in the future, just tell me, I will make the decision for you."
"Hello, little aunt." He Mingqi stood obediently next to An Jing, with two pear dimples faintly exposed at the corners of his mouth.
"I haven't prepared any gifts, so I'll give you this red envelope." Chen Lishu said and put a red envelope into He Mingqi's hand.
Jing Jing: "Little sister, you are too polite. How old is she?"
Chen Lishu smiled: "If you call me aunt, you will be as much a child as Ruirui in my eyes."
"Mom, you heard me, I am a child no matter how old I am."
He Mingqi wrinkled his nose at his mother Anjing, and then happily took the red envelope: "Thank you, little aunt."
"Originally, I thought I was the youngest in the family. This time, Brother Dong, are you going to call me Third Brother?" He Ziyu came over and imitated his elder brother and patted Gu Xingdong's shoulder, with a somewhat expressive look on his face.
proud.
Gu Xingdong clamped his wrist and said with a warm smile: "It doesn't matter, we can each call him his own."
The corner of He Ziyu's mouth twitched: "Isn't this not good?"
Gu Xingdong's hand strengthened a little more: "No need to force it."
He Ziyu's expression of pain suddenly turned ferocious: "Brother Dong."
Gu Xingdong responded happily: "Hey."
Seeing the children enjoying themselves, the old couple couldn't help but smile.
There have been too many troubles at home in the past few years, and it seems like it has not been this lively for a long time.
"This was my dowry when I was young. It was originally intended to be left to my daughter." He's mother took out a red velvet jewelry box and opened it to reveal a green jade bracelet.
Although Chen Lishu doesn't understand jade, she can still tell that the jade bracelet is completely translucent and full of water, which is absolutely extraordinary.
"Auntie, this is too expensive."
He Ziyu: "Little sister, don't you see that my mother is giving you the money to correct your confession."
"Go, don't just talk nonsense here." Mother He glared at her son, took Chen Lishu's hand, and put the bracelet on her wrist. The white and tender skin paired with the green bracelet looked indescribably beautiful.
"I knew this bracelet would suit you best." Mother He looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.
Chen Lishu was not pretentious: "Thank you godmother."
"Hey, hey." Mother He happily responded twice in succession.
Not long after He Zinian came back from the company, the family began to prepare dinner.
"Godmother, let me help you." Seeing He's mother getting up, Chen Lishu followed her, and sister-in-law Jing Jing also went to help.
The women went to the kitchen, and the men sat together and talked.
"I went to the hospital today, and Qingqing was picked up by someone, and the other party also hired a lawyer." He Ziyu said and glanced in the direction of He Zinian. Although He Ziyu did not take the other party seriously, he
You should still tell He Zinian about the matter.
He Zinian said nothing, but his already gloomy face became even more gloomy.
"The profession of inland lawyers is rare. Currently, most of them are in the south. Although the other party has found someone who speaks Mandarin better, based on the time you and Zhu Shasha have known each other, I think the other party is probably from Xiangjiang. If the distance is a little further, it may
It’s a bit troublesome, but it’s not like we can’t catch people out.”
He Zinian tightened his fingers on his knees, and finally relaxed them: "Forget it, you don't need to tell me any news about that woman in the future."
What would happen if he caught the person out? It was just humiliating himself. Besides, if He Ziyu wanted to find out the person, he would have to rely on the He family's connections, and he was even more unwilling to let them laugh at the joke.
Mr. He looked at the two siblings who were talking in a low voice not far away, and said to Gu Xingdong: "It's hard to come here, why not stay a little longer and let Ziyu take you around tomorrow."
"
Gu Xingdong sat up a little straighter: "If you didn't tell me, Li Shu and I were also thinking of mentioning it. The child is now in the final review stage, and there are two younger ones at home. I'm really worried. Ruirui will be there in another month.
It’s summer vacation, why not let him come over to spend more time with you two?”
He Ziyu: "I can't stop doing my work in the provincial capital. If you are busy, I can bring Ruirui back with me after the holiday."
Mr. He nodded: "That's right, don't delay the child's study."
He Zinian looked at everyone talking to each other. He was obviously Ruirui's biological father, but now he seemed like an outsider.
"I think it's better to transfer Ruirui's student status. The teaching level in Kyoto will be much better than elsewhere."
When Ruirui heard what he said, she immediately stopped talking to her sister He Mingqi and nervously looked sideways in the direction of Gu Xingdong.
