Seeing that Song Anran was not very willing, and even seemed to be mocking her behavior, Jiang Jingyu withdrew the contract and immediately stood up: "Since Miss Song is unwilling, just pretend I never came to see you today."
Song Anran, sitting quietly on the sofa, was working at a rapid pace.
Soon, she might be forcibly sent out of Yunzhou by Shen Jinmo.
Her parents and brother were urging her to return to Jiangzhou.
The only opportunity to strengthen the bond with Shen Jinmo right now is indeed the one Jiang Jingyu mentioned.
And if she can successfully give birth to this child.
It will be much easier to stir up trouble in the Shen family in the future.
Whether it's Shen Jinmo or Jiang Jingyu, they will both be under her control.
Song Anran managed to keep Jiang Jingyu with her.
The two discussed the specific operational details in a coffee shop, talking until late at night.
That's when I came out of the coffee shop.
——
The next day, Zhuolou.
Lu Zhiwei is feeding her baby with a bottle.
Aunt Zeng knocked on the door and entered, her expression serious: "Miss Lu, the garbage collector from yesterday is here again."
Without hesitation, Lu Zhiwei asked, "Who takes out the trash?"
"It's President Shen from the Shen Group. He spent half the day yesterday doing volunteer work at Zhuolou, taking out the trash. And today he showed up uninvited again. He did the same thing again."
"Never mind him, let him dump the trash if he likes to." Lu Zhiwei looked at the increasingly round and pink baby in the swaddle blanket, drinking the food she fed him with satisfaction, her heart almost melting.
"But he's finished with all that and is on his way here now."
"What is he doing at the main building?" Lu Zhiwei paused for a moment, then handed the child to Aunt Zeng so she could continue feeding him.
She walked to the window and drew back the curtains.
Sure enough, Shen Jinmo was walking this way at that moment.
"We've come to see you."
Lu Zhiwei didn't want him to go upstairs, so she went straight downstairs and stopped him in the living room on the first floor.
“I didn’t know Mr. Shen had such a good habit of taking out the trash. You’ve been to Zhuolou for two days in a row. I don’t believe you’re really doing this for charity. What are you really up to? Just say it.”
Lu Zhiwei sat on the sofa and poured Shen Jinmo a cup of hot tea.
The room was heated, and Shen Jinmo took off his slightly smelly coat to avoid bothering Lu Zhiwei.
Holding the cup of hot tea that Lu Zhiwei had poured for him to warm his hands, he asked, "I came to this building yesterday too. Isn't there a very cute baby in the first nursery on the second floor?"
Lu Zhiwei didn't try to hide anything and readily admitted, "Yes, so what?"
“I want to adopt this child.” Shen Jinmo’s deep eyes stared straight at Lu Zhiwei, his purpose very clear.
Lu Zhiwei laughed immediately after hearing this.
“Every child in Zhuolou is someone I personally took in and nurtured, and I don’t adopt any. Even if a hundred more came, I could still afford to raise them. The conditions I can offer are no less than what you, Shen Jinmo, have provided.”
Lu Zhiwei leaned back on the sofa, her cold and aloof gaze sweeping over Shen Jinmo.
Shen Jinmo put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "What I want to give you is unique. Even if you have the financial means, you are so busy with work and have to support so many children. In this respect, you can't compare to me."
"Okay, putting all that aside, Mr. Shen, have you forgotten that adoption requires meeting certain conditions? Do you think you meet those conditions?"
“Why doesn’t it meet the requirements? I have no spouse or children, I have financial means, and I have no criminal record,” Shen Jinmo said firmly.
Lu Zhiwei chuckled and said, "You're surrounded by a bunch of women. Who knows when you'll remarry and have another child? It wouldn't be fair to the child if you adopted one."
“Then I can write a promise that I will never marry another woman besides you, let alone have a child with another woman. If I break this promise, I can leave half of my assets to this child and donate the other half to Zhuolou Welfare Home.”
It must be said that his unconventional approach was brilliant.
He knew perfectly well that Lu Zhiwei could never get back together with him, let alone have a child with him again.
By making such a solemn oath, he can directly prove that what he says will never come true.
Persuasiveness is more effective than being struck by lightning or dying a horrible death.
Lu Zhiwei knew he was cunning.
"There's another very important condition for adoption. Don't forget, the adoptive parent must be at least 30 years old. If I remember correctly, you'll only be 29 after the New Year. Also, if you have no spouse or children, the age difference between the adoptive parent and the adoptee must be at least 40 years. You don't meet either of these conditions."
Lu Zhiwei's words completely blocked Shen Jinmo's path.
He shook his head, a cryptic smile playing on his thin lips.
"Lu Zhiwei, why are you obstructing my adoption of a child? Do you want to get back together with me? And have a child with me?"
Shen Jinmo deliberately provoked her.
Based on his understanding of Lu Zhiwei, he believed that she would relent in order to avoid him.
But this time, she didn't.
She smiled calmly: "Mr. Shen's arrogance is truly unmatched."
After saying that, Lu Zhiwei called the security guards to see the guest out and ordered everyone in Zhuolou, "He is not allowed to come to Zhuolou as a volunteer anymore. He has been blacklisted."
Shen Jinmo, sitting on the sofa: "..."
How could there be such a difficult woman as Lu Zhiwei in this world?
Shen Jinmo, feeling humiliated at Zhuolou, returned dejectedly to the Shen family's old residence to visit Jiang Jingyu's condition.
As usual, to get rid of the smell, Chen Jinmo went into the bathroom in the bedroom, took a hot bath, washed her hair, and changed into a set of silver-gray loungewear before coming out of the bathroom.
At some point, Song Anran appeared in his bedroom.
