After hearing this, Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "If you don't have another child of your own, what will you do in the future? Her daughter is already an adult, and you have no emotional foundation with her. Do you think she will treat you as her own father and be filial to you?"

Zhou Hong smiled when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Dad, I'm not that shameless. I haven't raised her, so why should she treat me as her real father and be filial to me? It would be good if she can help me take care of the afterlife."

After hearing what Zhou Hong said, Mr. Zhou felt even worse. He opened his mouth and said anxiously, "Have you really thought it through? Do you really not want to leave a successor for yourself?"

Looking at Mr. Zhou's worried expression, Zhou Hong couldn't bear to irritate him any further.

Zhou Hong held the old man's hand and said seriously, "Dad, if the purpose of marriage is to reproduce and pass on genes, then I can just go to the hospital to donate sperm. Why bother with all this nonsense?"

"In my opinion, marriage is for a companion in old age, to find someone you love to accompany you until old age, to share joys and sorrows together, and everything else is secondary. Dad, I really like her, I want to enter her life, and I also want to share my life with her. In my opinion, this is the meaning of marriage."

"Dad, Huiyin is good at educating children. Her daughter has been educated very well by her. She is better than all the children of the same age I have ever seen. It is a blessing to have such a descendant. What's more, I also have a nephew. For Huiyin and me, there is no need to take the risk of opening a blind box to have another child."

Mr. Zhou looked at his eldest son in front of him, and was silent for a long time. He could only slowly speak: "...I know you have your own ideas, and I know I can't control you anymore..."

Mr. Zhou knew that his eldest son Zhou Hong was different from his youngest son. Zhou Hong had his own ideas since he was young, and no one could force him to do something he didn't want to do.

He had said before that he didn't plan to get married and have children, but now he has found someone he likes and is thinking about getting married. This is already a blessing from the spirit of his late wife, and he shouldn't ask for anything else...

But Mr. Zhou was an old man with traditional ideas after all. He still felt sad when he knew that Zhou Hong was not planning to have children.

Zhou Hong smiled and patted the old man's hand, saying, "Dad, life is only a few short decades, and I've already walked half of it. I want to walk the remaining half with her. The rest is not important."

Old Master Zhou whispered, "I just hope you can leave a descendant and pass on your bloodline..."

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Why does it have to be inherited blood? When I die, my body will dissolve and melt into the earth. The particles and atoms that make up my body will re-participate in the growth of all things in the universe and re-compose other substances. Isn't this also a kind of inheritance?"

"All planets in the universe have a lifespan, and life on Earth will eventually come to an end. At that time, all living things on Earth will return to nothingness... Is it really meaningful to be obsessed with blood inheritance?"

"Dad, isn't this natural disaster God's answer to us humans? There is no such thing as permanent inheritance. In life, it is enough to spend decades of life with the person you love."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou fell silent again.

After a long time, he nodded and replied, "Okay, since you have thought it through... then I won't say anything."

In fact, through the casual chat with Xia Huiyin just now, Mr. Zhou could also tell that she was a good woman.

Although he was not very satisfied with her background and the conditions for getting married and raising children, since Zhou Hong liked her, Mr. Zhou accepted it.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou sighed and said, "Now that it has come to this, you should find an opportunity to arrange for the two families to have a meal together."

Zhou Hong scratched his head and said, "Don't be impatient, the fate hasn't even started yet... We have been talking here for a long time, but the other party may not be interested in me!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou widened his eyes and asked, "You didn't even think about it? Then you gave away that brooch worth billions?"
