In fact, Lin Yanbai's guess turned out to be right. It was indeed Liu Mei who was behind the scenes!
"Well, don't worry. Taotao has been with you since he was a child. This is a fact known to all relatives and friends. I think that even if he can prove that Taotao is his biological son, as long as you don't let go, Gu Xingyu will definitely not be able to snatch him away!"
Although he felt a little relieved after hearing Lin Yanbai's words of comfort, Lin Chen was still very worried: "What if, what if Gu Xingyu told the judge that he didn't know he had such a son before and now suddenly knew about it and wanted compensation?"
This is a problem. Lin Yanbai thought about it and felt that Gu Xingyu might really say that.
But seeing Lin Chen and Zhong Xinya anxious like ants on a hot pot, she could also comfort them: "It's okay, Taotao is so old now, I think the judge will ask for his opinion, don't worry too much."
After discussing for a long time, they finally decided that they should just improvise!
At eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Xingfan, who had been busy all day, finally returned home.
Yan Bai heated up the leftover food for him and made him a big bowl of pork rib noodles. Gu Xingfan gulped down the whole bowl of noodles without even raising his head.
Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Yan Bai told him about Gu Xingyu.
Hearing this familiar name, Gu Xingfan paused slightly, then pretended to be calm and unconcerned as he picked up the food with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
"This isn't a big deal. Zou Yitao lost his parents at a young age and has lived in the Lin family ever since. Everyone knows this. Let's just stick to our story of not knowing Gu Xingyu was his biological father. Then, have your brother quickly complete the adoption procedures. As long as the paperwork is in place, he can't just take the child back if he wants!"
After hearing what Gu Xingfan said, Lin Yanbai's eyes lit up. Yes, how could she forget that the formal adoption procedure is protected by law. Even the biological parents cannot just come and take the child back!
"Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Xiaofan, I didn't realize you were quite capable!"
"I'm so sorry, all this is thanks to our Lin Xiaobai's careful cultivation!" As he said this, the editor, who was very dramatic, bowed!
The two of them were going back and forth, and Xiao Qi was unhappy. "Hey, you two have really had enough. Just compliment each other, but what about Gu Xiaofan and Lin Xiaobai? Enough!"
"Tsk, what do you know? How can a single person like you understand the fun between husband and wife?"
Xiao Qi silently shed wide noodles tears, feeling grief-stricken. How could this include personal attacks?
Ahem, thinking about the origins of the names Gu Xiaofan and Lin Xiaobai... Lin Yanbai blushed slightly.
Gu Xingfan on the side seemed to know what she was thinking about. He looked at her leisurely with a charming look in his eyes.
Dingding came out of the living room to get some water and watched silently this scene that happened almost every day, then returned to the room silently.
He shouldn't have come out, really!
These two are an old couple, but they are still so affectionate. It's really disgusting!
As long as Gu Xingyu was unhappy, Gu Xingfan would be happy. So, he, who never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, went to Lin Chen's house before going to work the next day and politely told him that he had friends who could help him and that the adoption procedures would not be a problem.
After saying this, he left calmly, without even entering the door, and there was a sense of joy and joy in his departing steps.
Lin Chen touched the back of his head in confusion. Why did he feel that Gu Xingfan was so weird today?
After thinking about what Gu Xingfan had just said, Lin Chen turned around and ran into the house as if he had just woken up from a dream.
At this moment, the family was sitting at the table eating breakfast. Seeing Lin Chen rushing in so hurriedly, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.
"Why are you so flustered? Who came just now?"
As she spoke, Zhong Xinya looked behind him and wondered why he hadn't brought anyone in.
"It's Gu Xingfan..."
Lin Chen glanced at Zou Yitao who was looking at him with concern, swallowed nervously, and slowly walked to the dining table.
As he moved, Zhong Xinya seemed to understand something. The corners of her mouth moved, but she said nothing.
Lin Chen was struggling with how to talk to Zou Yitao about this. No matter what, he should tell Zou Yitao about this matter first and let him make the decision himself.
If he wanted to follow Gu Xingyu, then he wouldn't say anything more, and there would be no need to go through the adoption procedures.
However, he hesitated for a long time, and when the words came to his lips, he just didn't know how to say it.
Could it be that your biological father wants to take you back, but we don’t want him to because he is not a good person?
This... Although this is the case, I always feel weird when I really say it this way.
After a long stalemate, Zou Yitao finally spoke: "Uncle, do you want to tell me about that person?"
Lin Chen's pupils dilated slightly in an instant: "You...you know?"
"Well, he came to the school to find me, but every time he came, I drove him away!" Zou Yitao's face was calm, without a trace of superfluous expression.
Looking at the calm Zou Yitao, Lin Chen probably understood his attitude.
"Taotao, to be honest, for so many years, your sister-in-law and I have long regarded you as our own son. We naturally hope that you can do better. If Gu Xingyu is a person of good character, then we won't say anything and will only be happy for you. But the problem is, he is not——
We were afraid you'd be hurt again, so after much deliberation, we decided to complete the adoption procedures for you. Although your household registration has been transferred to my name, this was all done after your parents and grandparents passed away. Now that a biological father has suddenly appeared, we're afraid of the consequences...
So, I want to ask, Taotao, are you willing to be our son and Yuchu's brother?"
Zou Yitao's eyes were red, and the numbness in the tip of his nose made him want to cry, but he just kept nodding.
"I...I do, uncle. If you and aunt don't dislike me, I'll be your biological son!"
"Hey - of course we are willing. If my sister-in-law had a good son like you, she would wake up laughing in her dreams!" Seeing that the two were about to hug each other and cry, Zhong Xinya quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Concubine..."
Zou Yitao looked at Zhong Xinya with his big wet eyes, his nose tip was red, and he looked very adorable.
It must be said that Zou Yitao's appearance combines all the advantages of Lin Wan and Gu Xingyu. He looks like Lin Wan and has the same temperament as Gu Xingyu. He is a handsome man, unparalleled in the world.
However, what was particularly unusual was that when he stood next to Gu Xingyu, their identical temperament made it hard to guess they were father and son. But when he stood next to Lin Chen, they also looked very much like father and son. Their eyebrows, noses, lips... no one would believe they were not father and son.
Could this be the nephew who resembles his uncle?
