Chapter 158 Who will adopt?
Wen Chi handed over the bowl of chicken porridge.
Chu Yan didn't answer.
Because he was completely stunned by Wen Chi's words!
Chu Yan wasn't the type to just listen superficially; he was used to analyzing the deeper meaning of every sentence and the speaker's purpose...
Including Wen Chi's words, after Chu Yan said them, many possibilities immediately flashed through his mind.
This made him take a deep breath and speak cautiously:
"It's not terrible to make a mistake or slip-up. What's terrible is trying to solve it in an even more wrong way, which only makes the mistake worse."
Wen Chi was a little confused and didn't understand what his elder brother was saying.
The hand holding the bowl of porridge squatted in mid-air, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head:
"……Um?"
Chu Yan knew that Wen Chi was stubborn and might not be willing to listen to his advice.
But he couldn't tolerate Wen Chi making the same mistake again and again, so he said earnestly:
"We are a family. If you have any problems, just tell us and we can solve them together. No matter how big the trouble is, after it passes, you will find that it is not a big deal."
Wen Chi became increasingly confused and puzzled:
"……ha?"
Seeing that his brother had been "playing dumb", Chu Yan simply pointed it out:
"Who is your girlfriend, or rather... the mother of your child?"
Wen Chi was filled with black lines and immediately raised his voice:
"Brother, what are you talking about!"
Chu Yan frowned:
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it."
Wen Chi was both mad and speechless:
"What am I hiding? Have I done nothing well?"
Chu Yan's face was serious:
"Then why did you adopt the child? Or, you have no relationship with the woman, and it's just..."
Having said this, Chu Yan exhaled heavily from his lungs, and many scandals of male celebrities in the entertainment industry flashed through his mind.
When he associated those scandals with his younger brother...
"It was my fault."
Chu Yan spoke word by word, lowering his head in deep remorse.
"I've neglected you so much over the years that you've made such a big mistake, even doing something so irresponsible and disrespectful to women. Don't worry, Xiaochi, I'll be with you to handle these things. As long as we face our mistakes and do our best to make amends, we can get back on track one day."
"No, no! Big Brother, what are you talking about? What's wrong with calling a number? What's disrespectful to women? And returning to the right path... What did I do? I was simply asking about the idea of 'adopting a child'!"
Wen Chi was so angry that he put the bowl of porridge back on the table.
But he did not forget to move gently so as not to spill the chicken porridge he had worked so hard to cook.
Chu Yan looked at his brother with a sullen look, not believing this lame explanation:
"That's all? Without any reason or opportunity, you would have the idea of adopting a child?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, and in order to prevent his elder brother's magical imagination from spreading further, Wen Chi had no choice but to tell him about Sui Sui.
He hung his head and spoke in a low voice:
"No, big brother, you really misunderstood. I just met a little girl while filming a variety show. She made me feel very close..."
I'll omit some unnecessary details, such as the online bullying he endured before Sui Sui showed up, or the extreme thoughts he had while lost in thought...
Anyway, he deleted what should be deleted and only kept what could be said. Wen Chi told Chu Yan everything in one go.
The reasons behind the matter were clear and well-founded, which dispelled Chu Yan's last bit of doubt.
Chu Yan finally calmed down, but he remained silent for a long time because of his brother's bizarre ideas.
Chu Yan did not agree with Wen Chi's idea:
"Putting aside the question of whether or not you can adopt this little girl...who are you going to let adopt her?"
Wen Chi thought without hesitation:
"Of course it would be best if I could adopt her! I don't trust anyone else to take care of her!"
Chu Yan couldn't help but look at his brother several more times.
I also don't quite understand why my brother suddenly became so close to and fond of a little girl who had no relationship with him in such a short period of time?
Is this what is called fate between people?
Chu Yan didn’t understand.
He was just thinking about the problem from the most rational perspective:
"Have you ever considered what consequences this will bring to you and her?"
Wen Chi swore solemnly:
"I don't plan on dating! I don't even think about getting married!"
Chu Yan held his forehead:
"That's not what I'm talking about! Have you ever considered that if you do this, your innocent encounter during a variety show recording will be interpreted as a self-directed and staged incident by those with ulterior motives, and her identity will be suspected of being... your illegitimate daughter."
Wen Chi was so angry that he jumped up and down:
"Are you crazy? I'm only nineteen!"
Chu Yan looked at his brother calmly.
And Wen Chi had to admit that everything his elder brother said was possible!
The outrageousness of the rumor lies in the fact that it takes advantage of the herd mentality and brainwashes people.
If the media bombarded the public with rumors, repeatedly telling them that Wen Chi was actually a woman, perhaps some people would actually believe it.
But Wen Chi didn't want Sui Sui to suffer this injustice!
He doesn't want it even if it's just some rumors!
——Chu Yan observed his brother's expression and had a rough idea in his mind.
"If you can't adopt, who can?"
Wen Chi's body trembled, and his eyes subconsciously lingered on Chu Yan:
"actually……"
Okay, Chu Yan understands.
He was really helpless because of his brother's naivety:
"Me? What do you think of my job?"
Wen Chi shuddered and woke up instantly.
Let the eldest brother adopt Sui Sui and then let Sui Sui follow the nanny all day long?
Even though both brothers concede that their father Wen Yu is a super workaholic, in fact, Chu Yan is not much worse than him. Otherwise, how could Taichu Technology have developed to its current scale in just a few years?
Thinking of the importance of parental companionship that all parenting experiences emphasize, Wen Chi was worried:
"What should we do? I-I think she can become our family!"
Chu Yan said calmly:
"It's impossible for Xiao Mo to be abroad, father..."
Wen Chi refuted loudly and decisively:
"Of course that's impossible!"
It's not just Wen Chi who distrusts his father Wen Yu.
This is also because this action will touch the deepest scar in the Wen family.
Chu Yan spread his hands and said calmly:
"Look, you know no one is suitable. So, if you really want to find a good home for this child, why not leave it to me? I will be responsible for finding her a wealthy, happy, and complete adoptive family."
Wen Chi certainly knew that Chu Yan's suggestion was the best choice.
But……
He doesn't want Suisui to leave.
That's his sister.
"I'll think about it."
Wen Chi walked out of the ward in a daze, his back looking desolate and lost.
Chu Yan stared at it without blinking, then picked up the bowl of chicken porridge that had become warm and just right for eating.
One spoonful, one spoonful, and another spoonful.
clang.
He dropped the spoon and narrowed his eyes dangerously:
"That little girl's story... is it really that simple?"
