Tian Yuxiang was about to say, "Zhizhi, listen to me——"
Jiang Xizhi raised his legs and was about to walk out the door, but Tian Yuxiang hugged his legs from behind.
Tian Yuxiang was sitting on the sofa just now. She instinctively jumped forward and knelt on the ground.
"Don't tell Dad. I know I'm a mean person, but I can't change it - I can't change it. Dong Shui and Dad have no blood relationship. I know I'm suspicious. Can you forgive me, forgive me, won't you?" Tian Yuxiang said.
She rested her head on Jiang Yizhi's legs. "You know about my past, right? I don't want to think this way, but that's how I am. Yizhi, forgive me, okay?"
Jiang Yuzhi kept his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "Get up. From now on, Dong Shui's surname will be Jiang."
Tian Yuxiang raised her head and asked, "Why?"
"Do you think you are being loyal to Dong Kai by doing this? Let her still have the surname Dong? You are labeling her. She is a different person, a different child! Her state is the state in your mind. No matter how dark it is, it is all what you think. Tian Yuxiang, can you be a little more sunny?" Jiang Yizhi said to Tian Yuxiang while gritting his teeth.
"I know. I will learn slowly. Whether I am good or not, I will learn slowly!" Tian Yuxiang was thinking about asking Dong Shui to change his surname and did not speak immediately. She felt that if she did so, she would abandon Dong Kai too thoroughly. After all, they were husband and wife, and his thumb was still locked in the drawer. Tian Yuxiang felt that she was with Jiang Shui, and asking for Dong Kai's thumb was too hurtful, so she never said it. However, Dong Kai's matter was still in her heart.
Her thoughts are not something that ordinary people can understand.
Regarding changing Dong Shui's surname, she only said, "Let me think about it."
Jiang Yizhi just stood there motionless. Tian Yuxiang kept hugging his legs, crying and sobbing, looking quite pitiful.
"Hey, can you find me a translator?" Tian Yuxiang asked softly again, with tears in her voice.
"What do you do? Translating scripts?" Jiang Xizhi's voice softened a little.
"Yeah." Tian Yuxiang said.
"Tuo."
"I want someone with a higher level of literary attainments." Tian Yuxiang looked up at Jiang Xizhi again.
"Hey. Get up." Jiang Yuzhi asked again.
A few days later, Jiang Xizhi handed Tian Yuxiang something wrapped in a box.
Tian Yuxiang didn't know what it was. The box was quite exquisite. Jiang Yizhi asked her to open it and take a look. After opening it, she saw that it was Dong Kai's thumb, which had been made into a specimen and would not rot.
Tian Yuxiang glanced at Jiang Yizhi with a puzzled look, "Why are you giving it to me now?"
"If you keep it here, I'll have nightmares. Since you've been thinking about it, here you go." Jiang Yizhi said.
"Really?" Tian Yuxiang said. This matter has always been in her mind. It's not that she expected anything, but she felt that she married Jiang Xinzhi, which was already unfair to Dong Kai. Dong Kai died because of Tian Sen, which made her feel even more sorry. He also lost the only thing Dong Kai had.
"Yes, of course it's true. I'll give you his things. Change Dong Shui's surname to Jiang." Jiang Yizhi left no room for negotiation. "You can only choose one of the two."
Tian Yuxiang sat there, thinking for a long time. Jiang Yuzhi was right. She had selfishly given Dong Shui the surname Dong. Her reluctance to let go of Dong Kai had been etched into Dong Shui's body. This was not what a mother would do. She had selfishly told others that she had not forgotten Dong Kai, that she was not the kind of person who would be ungrateful. But what about Jiang Yuzhi? What about Dong Shui? She hadn't considered their feelings.
Tian Yuxiang felt that she had fallen in love with Jiang Yizhi, or rather, she had fallen in love with him a long time ago, but there were too many entanglements, so she had forgotten what love was like in the beginning.
She couldn't be too selfish and let Dong Shui think that he was different from Jiang Shan and Jiang Tian when he grew up.
"Yes. I agree, but I still want to discuss it with her grandparents." Tian Yuxiang said.
"You don't need to discuss it. I can talk to you myself." Jiang Yuzhi finished speaking, "Also, there's one more thing. Have another child."
Tian Yuxiang looked up in surprise, "I already have three children - I - I have -"
"Don't you agree?" Jiang Yizhi asked again, "You have three, and I only have two. I want another one."
Tian Yuxiang felt very embarrassed because she was afraid of giving birth to another girl.
That is a balance that cannot be restored even if the surname is changed to Jiang.
But Tian Yuxiang could see that after marriage, Jiang Yuzhi was extremely kind to her, very kind.
Moreover, they were unhappy when they had their last child, so it was understandable that he wanted to have another one.
"Then let's have another one." Tian Yuxiang compromised.
"Also, from now on, you should thoroughly understand what kind of person Dad is. And what kind of person am I?" Jiang Yuzhi's gaze caught Tian Yuxiang.
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't let go of Tian Yuxiang's words to Dong Shui just now, and he even took advantage of this to put forward his own two demands.
Tian Yuxiang's face was very embarrassed. "Stop talking, stop talking. Since you said that, I——"
After saying that, Tian Yuxiang lowered her head.
It was Jiang Zhizhi who discussed the matter of changing the child's surname with Dong Kai's parents.
It wasn't like Tian Yuxiang's wording—discussion, but rather "notification."
Jiang Zhizhi said that among his three children, only one had the surname Dong, which was unbalanced, so he changed his surname to Jiang.
It was just a notification, without any mention of negotiation.
Dong Kai and his wife also knew that Jiang Yizhi was not here to discuss things. They were originally here because Tian Yuxiang asked them to come. When they heard that the houses were all bought by Jiang Yizhi, they felt like they were living under someone else's roof. Moreover, they had no children now, only this granddaughter, and she had to change her surname to someone else's. They felt like they had eaten shit, and the old couple always sighed.
But what can we do?
Tian Yuxiang said that they must not offend the people who will take care of them in their old age.
After all, he is not his biological son, and his daughter-in-law belongs to someone else now.
Jiang Yuzhi is already very kind, but she asked Dong Shui to change her surname for her own sake, so that Dong Shui wouldn't have any ideas in the future. She is too young to know.
According to Tian Yuxiang's suggestion, Jiang Yuzhi found her a female student with a double bachelor's degree who was proficient in both Chinese and English. The two of them spent their daily time discussing and learning from each other, and debated which English word could better express the meaning of the script.
Because Qiao Shiyu's company has already negotiated the contract with Chen Yuan.
Taking into account Shen Yuan's status and aura, it was decided to shoot this drama abroad and find a foreign director. After all, Shen Yuan's box office appeal is overseas. Positioning it as an English film with Chinese dubbing in the later stage will have great restrictions in China. Therefore, Tian Yuxiang may stay in New York for a few months in the future to watch the filming of this drama. Now, she has to finish the script first.
Jiang Xizhi comes back from the company in the evening and will see how Tian Yuxiang's script is going.
After all, this is a common career for two people.
