The servants responded without a word of complaint. After kneeling, they all went back to their own tasks.
Just then, a servant came to report that the Wan family had come to pick up the child.
Old Madam Lin hurriedly invited the person in.
Only then did Baili Wanwan realize that the person who had come was Wan Suizhou.
So she obediently ran up to him and asked, "Didn't Grandpa leave? Why is he back again..."
Wan Suizhou smiled faintly and said to her, "I was originally going back, but after leaving the city, I was worried that something might happen if you went back alone, so I thought I would come back to pick you up."
Wanwan nodded knowingly.
Before he could say anything, Old Madam Lin laughed and said to Wan Suizhou, "You've come back just in time! You don't know how much Wanwan helped this time!"
No one knew how Wanwan had captured the housekeeper's son; all they knew was that she had lured out the murderer who had been threatening Lin Yang'er.
Old Madam Lin briefly explained the matter, then said with a smile, "Wanwan is truly our Lin family's lucky star. Since her arrival, she has helped our family with so many things..."
Hearing this, Lin Lan, who arrived late, was immediately intrigued. She thought of striking while the iron was hot and encouraged Old Madam Lin, "It seems that Wanwan is destined to be with our Lin family. Why don't we recognize Wanwan as my and Yang'er's sister? Wouldn't that be better?"
Upon hearing this, both Old Madam Lin and Wan Suizhou hesitated.
But both of their gazes fell on Baili Wanwan.
Lin Lan was afraid that Wan Suizhou would disagree, so she continued to persuade him: "Wanwan and Yang'er are like sisters. Grandmother, you like her, and no one in our household dislikes her. Recognizing a sworn sister is no different from what we have now. It's just that when the two families have contact in the future, no one can say anything else."
Old Madam Lin nodded in agreement.
But she also knew in her heart that Wanwan was different from other children.
She has her own opinions, and if ordinary people try to force her, it will only make her unhappy.
So she simply said, "If I could truly be Wanwan's grandmother, I would be overjoyed, but at this point, I should also ask for her opinion..."
Baili Wanwan felt a little reserved when she saw everyone staring at her.
She didn't actually dislike the Lin family.
Although there was a misunderstanding before, fortunately everything has been resolved perfectly.
However, she seemed to understand that making these decisions on her own would put the Wan family in an awkward position.
So she raised her head, took Wan Suizhou's hand, and said very obediently, "Grandpa, you decide this matter."
Looking at Baili Wanwan's innocent yet understanding nature, Wan Suizhou felt an even greater affection for her.
In the end, he nodded and decided to let Baili Wanwan recognize the Lin family as her godparents.
It wasn't for any other reason than that he knew Baili Wanwan was different from every other child in Lanhai Village.
He placed high hopes on Baili Wanwan, believing that she would not stay in this small fishing village in the future.
For the sake of Bailiwanwan's vast future, he had to plan for her future.
When Old Madam Lin saw that Wan Suizhou had relented, she was very happy. She immediately took off a fine bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Baili Wanwan.
"This is the dowry I brought when I married into the Lin family. I'm giving it to you now. From now on, you will be the second young lady of our Lin family..."
Lin Yang'er listened with great pleasure.
She used to be the youngest in the family, but now that a fairy sister has come, she has become the eldest young lady, and the fairy sister is the second young lady.
From now on, the two of them became even closer!
The children giggled for a while, and it was getting late.
Wan Suizhou didn't linger any longer, only saying that he would bring the children to visit another day, and then he led Baili Wanwan and Cao Chengye home.
Having been delayed at the Lin residence for several hours, Wan Suizhou feared that his son and daughter-in-law were getting impatient waiting at home.
On the way back, Cao Chengye, who had been ignored the whole time, finally began to express his dissatisfaction.
He couldn't comment on the fact that Wanwan had just been recognized as his adopted sister, and now that there were only the three of them in the carriage, he was getting restless.
"Sir, Wanwan is so innocent and lovely. Could you let her be my sister too? My mother only gave birth to me. If she knew that Wanwan could be my sister, she would be very happy."
As Wan Suizhou listened to Cao Chengye's words, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
What's going on?!
Ever since Wanwan started living with the Wan family, everyone has been eager to claim kinship with her. This is just too ridiculous!
Besides, what kind of behavior is this with so many godbrothers and godsisters!
“You come to school every day, and Wanwan and Yang’er are your younger sisters, so there’s no need for so many formalities…”
After dismissing him with a few words, Wan Suizhou closed his eyes to rest.
Cao Chengye pursed his lips. Although he felt somewhat displeased, he didn't say anything more in front of his teacher.
When the group returned to Blue Sea Village, Zhang Xiu had already prepared food for them.
After eating, Cao Chengye kept pestering Baili Wanwan.
Since he hadn't accepted his adopted sister, he felt he should find another way to get Baili Wanwan's attention to him.
So he pestered Baili Wanwan, insisting that she teach him how to swim in the sea.
"Didn't you promise before? Let's start today!"
Wanwan pouted, feeling that Cao Chengye had never been so annoying before.
"Oh dear! I did promise you, but it doesn't necessarily have to be today!"
"What's wrong with today?! I think the weather is great today, perfect for going into the sea!"
Cao Chengye kept whining and nagging in her ear.
Baili Wanwan was truly helpless and covered her ears, hiding everywhere.
The two were playing around when Xie Yongnian and his group of followers happened to see them.
Children are very competitive, and Xie Yongnian and the other children were naturally unhappy to see their eldest child competing with others.
Xie Yongnian immediately retorted sarcastically, "Oh! Whose daughter is this? She's so good at acting cute!"
The other underlings immediately chimed in, "That's right, that's right! Only little girls act coy, and little girls can't swim!"
As soon as Xie Yongnian said that, Cao Chengye's expression changed instantly.
There is a difference between the children raised by wealthy families and the children raised by fishermen.
Even if Cao Chengye is very angry, he will not start cursing.
But that doesn't mean he has a good temper.
"Xie Yongnian! Are you asking for trouble again?!" Wanwan noticed the atmosphere was getting a bit tense and quickly spoke up to stop the group from jeering.
He then said to Xie Yongnian, "I promised to teach Cao Chengye to swim before. If you keep talking nonsense, I might stop playing with you!"
"Really? But it seems like the magistrate's young master doesn't want to be taught by you anymore, Wanwan. Why don't we just ignore him and go play at the beach?"
