"Pshaw, you're barely in your early twenties. Whether you can stay together is still a question, let alone get married."
Tang Zhengmao scoffed at Gu Baili's verbal promises, waving his hand dismissively. "Let's go, let's go."
“Hey Dad.” Rong Shang frowned and nudged Gu Baili, reminding him, “Words are no proof.”
Gu Baili was anxious, so he took a few long strides and walked towards Tang Zhengmao. "If Uncle is worried, Sheng'er and I can get engaged first."
“Yes, Dad, we can get engaged first and then get married in a couple of years.” At this moment, Rong Shang walked up from behind and stood next to Gu Baili.
Tang Zhengmao glanced at them, his deep gaze finally settling on Rong Shang's face. Displeased, he frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to get married, girl?"
It's not like she can't get married.
Actually, Tang Zhengmao's provocation of Gu Baili this time wasn't because he thought the boy was bad.
It's like the son I raised for twenty years has turned into a daughter. If I marry her off so early, wouldn't that be letting the boy have it easy?
The more Tang Zhengmao thought about it, the more upset he became, and the more upset he became, the more he wanted to find fault with Gu Baili.
Fortunately, Rong Shang knew what he was thinking. She pulled Gu Baili to sit down on the sofa and said with a grin, "Dad, I'm doing this for your and Mom's sake."
Tang Zhengmao raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
"Think about it, if I got married earlier and had more children, and then adopted one of them into our Tang family, wouldn't the Tang family have an heir?"
This was something Rong Chang had planned from the very beginning.
When she said that, Tang Zhengmao was taken aback, and his gloomy expression eased slightly.
But after glancing at Gu Baili, he snorted again, "Such an important matter is not something a girl like you can decide on your own."
“Uncle, Sheng’er can’t make the decision, but I can.”
It was clear that this matter had a great impact on Tang Zhengmao, so Gu Baili added in time, "I can put a written agreement here for you, and a child will definitely be adopted into the Tang family in the future."
It has to be said that such a temptation was simply too great for Tang Zhengmao.
The gloom on his face completely disappeared, and Tang Zhengmao poured tea and handed a cup to Gu Baili.
When are you planning to get married?
"Uh." Gu Baili was taken aback by how quickly his expression changed.
Tang Zhengmao's expression changed again. "What, are you going to back out?"
"No, no," Gu Baili shook his head.
...
And so, Tang Zhengmao finally relented and accepted Gu Baili.
Because Gu Baili promised that one of his children would be adopted into the Tang family, Tang Zhengmao breathed a sigh of relief, and much of the gloom and pain he had felt over the past month disappeared instantly.
As for Mrs. Tang, she remained silent throughout the meal. After the meal, she suddenly went upstairs to pack her luggage, saying that she was too ashamed to face the father and daughter anymore and that she would move out of the Tang family mansion to give them some peace and quiet.
Feeling too guilty, Tang Tai felt she couldn't get over it.
But as she pulled her suitcase and prepared to leave, Tang Zhengmao's deep, slightly angry voice came from behind her, "Do you think I'll forgive you if you just leave like this?"
Their steps suddenly stopped.
"No, I will not forgive you. I will hate you even more." Tang Zhengmao said calmly, pursing his lips. "If you really feel sorry for me, then please spend the rest of your life making up for it."
