Upon hearing the old lady's words, Zhang Shouyi's face immediately darkened.

"Grandma, how am I supposed to tell Jingze?" Zhang Hongmei felt utterly helpless.

"No one can persuade him," the old lady said sadly.

Zhang Hongmei couldn't bear to see the old man like this.

Gu Chuanming listened from the side, but remained silent. He didn't know what to say, but judging from Shouyi's expression, he knew he disagreed. In truth, even if he were Shouyi, he couldn't agree. Someone who had been spying on his woman, yet wanted to acknowledge his son?

Zhang Xingguo clicked his tongue, wondering why there were always people trying to steal his grandson. These people were so unfair.

Old Master Gu told Shouyi about Zhou Shixiong's idea, but didn't dare tell Shouyi. Who knows what the boy would do if he found out?

“Hongmei, I’m begging you, Grandma. I feel sorry for your brother Jingze. Although he will have a blood relative’s nephew in the future, given his personality, how could he possibly be interested in those people?”

The best part is that he can get married and have children. Having another godson wouldn't matter; the child will just have more people doting on him.

Zhang Hongmei lowered her head and thought for a moment. Now, she didn't even need to look at Zhang Shouyi's face to know how angry he was.

But these are my own family members. It's such a dilemma.

"Grandma, let's talk about it after the baby is born. I'm going to be a mother, and I care about my child's feelings. Maybe I'll have a daughter this time? That wouldn't mean anything to Jingze."

Even if it's a boy, I want to wait until he's older. If he likes Jingze, I definitely won't stop him.

Is this okay? Like you said, the best outcome would be for Jingze to meet a girl he likes, then your worries wouldn't be a problem.

The old woman fell silent, knowing she was putting herself in a difficult position. But Hongmei had already said so. Was she really going to pressure her further?

At this moment, Hu Aifen spoke up. "Hongmei, we're getting old, and Jingze is almost twenty-seven. I understand you, but could you please think about us again?"

Zhang Hongmei looked at the faces of everyone in the Liu family in the living room. Finally, she turned to look at Zhang Shouyi.

"Okay! I agree. But the child's consent is also required."

“Hongmei, I know you’re in a difficult position. We don’t want to take the child away, nor do we want to adopt him. We just want someone to call Jingze ‘Dad’ in the future!” Hu Aifen said, covering her mouth and crying.

“Auntie, I agree. Even if Jingze has children in the future, my children will call him godfather.”

Zhang Hongmei didn't dare look at Zhang Shouyi's face after she finished speaking.

"Hongmei, thank you. But I still have to say, you've met many outstanding girls in the capital. In the future, you'll have to help Jingze find a wife. You two are like siblings, and we live far away, so we're powerless to help you. We'll have to rely on you."

"Grandma, don't worry, I definitely will. Just like you said, we are siblings. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

The old lady patted Zhang Hongmei's hand. "It was our family that bullied you."

Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "How could that be? I can't say that I wouldn't exist without you, but you've taken care of me ever since I came back when I was five. If I had died back then, this problem might not have happened now."

Upon hearing Zhang Hongmei's words, Zhang Shouyi felt a pang of anxiety, suddenly remembering his past life, in which Zhang Hongmei truly did not exist.

All his anger vanished. He took his wife's hand and smiled reassuringly at her.

Forget it, let it be. I'll just consider it as repaying the Liu family for taking care of Hongmei with my son.

But I really need to find a way to get Liu Jingze married. Once he's married, what does it matter if my son calls him godfather?

Zhang Shouyi secretly plotted how to scheme against Liu Jingze.

That was the end of it. Zhang Hongmei felt much relieved knowing that Zhang Shouyi had forgiven her.

Zhang Xingguo hurriedly made arrangements to go home, and decided to tell Hongmei to visit their house less often in the future. In such a short time, his grandson had become quite old.

Zhang Shouyi walked behind, holding Zhang Hongmei's hand. "Wife, don't overthink it. We're godparents, after all, he's our child."

“Brother Zhang, I was afraid you would be angry. We are husband and wife, and this matter should be discussed and decided by us, but I made the decision on my own.”

"It's alright, my wife. I support your decision. Except for leaving me, abandoning me, or not wanting me. Anything else is fine with me." Zhang Shouyi was afraid that his wife would blame herself, so he immediately said some irrelevant things to cheer her up.

"What are you saying?" Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at him. This guy really dares to say anything in private.

When he got home, he saw Li Cuihua waiting for him. He immediately took her hand and led her into the house.

"Auntie, it's so late. I'll come see you tomorrow morning. Why are you waiting for me?"

"You've come to deliver the keys to the apartment. Your family lives in the old house, but with so many people in your household, there's no room left."

Also, this is the key to Shouyi's house. The old principal's family lived right next door to Shouyi's house.

Alright, you should pack up now. This car ride must be tiring, so go and get some rest.

Also, I've placed the paper money for burning outside the gate; you can just take it with you when you go to burn it. And please remember to bring a shovel to add to your parents' graves.

"Auntie, I understand. We'll go burn paper money for my parents tomorrow morning."

"Okay, give me two yuan. Whoever pays for the paper money keeps it."

Zhang Shouyi hurriedly took out five yuan, and Li Cuihua glared at him.

She immediately handed over two more one-yuan notes, which Li Cuihua then accepted.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys go home for lunch tomorrow. Your third uncle is going to slaughter a pig tomorrow."

"Hehe. The pigs are in trouble now that I'm back."

Li Cuihua laughed and patted Zhang Hongmei on the shoulder, "You brat, what are you saying?"

After seeing Li Cuihua off, Zhang Shouyi instructed Xiao Li to have them tidy up the apartment building so that they could all move in.

The bodyguards were conflicted. Was this really okay? Letting four important figures stay here alone? Just as they were about to speak, Xiao Li stopped them with a look.

Zhang Hongmei suddenly looked at the silent Liu Jingsong and gave Zhang Xingguo a wink.

However, the old man didn't understand it. There was no other way but to do it himself.

"Jinsong, do you want to sleep with your grandfathers?"

"Auntie, I want to sleep with Great-Grandpa and Grandpa."

"Okay. I think Jinsong is unhappy today, why?"

Liu Jingsong was startled and quickly explained, "No, Auntie, I didn't!"

"Jingsong, let me tell you, don't care about what others think of you. I'm not telling you to live your own life, but you should still have your own opinions."

If you want to visit your family, Uncle Chengzi can take you tomorrow, okay? Don't be afraid.

"Auntie, I'm not going. I don't want them. Really."
