Chapter 44 Taotao's Identity
◎The best way is to...register it under the name of a relative.◎
Quan Damei has been helping to take care of Xiao Taotao a lot during this period, and she has gained some understanding of the child's temperament. It can be said that the child has perfectly inherited the appearance and personality of his parents.
She doesn't know the child's mother, but she should be too familiar with the child's father. The more time she spends with Xiao Taotao, the more shadow of Quan Zhilong she can see in the child.
The child's eyes with light brown pupils looked at her intently, and he called her "Auntie" with his mouth, but what he heard in his ears became "Nuna".
The woman had an illusion that the person she was holding was the three-year-old Quan Zhilong.
Extraordinary artistic talent and creativity are the universally recognized comments about Kwon Ji-yong. I have heard the adjective "Ji-yong is a child born to make a living from art" since I was a child.
The Quan family's parents are also happy to cultivate their son's development in this direction. From SM to YG, and then debuting as GD, he is undoubtedly a model of success for other people's children.
Then what?
The public can only see the bright and shiny surface and ignore the dark side behind it. Artists are destined to be lonely and sensitive. The silent support of the family who grew up together does not seem to be enough, but this is all they can do!
More than anyone else, Kwon Dal-mi hopes that Kwon Ji-yong can have a happy family and be happy.
This sudden child has tied Yuna back to her parents' hearts because of the child. Isn't it too greedy to want to possess everything?
At least, Kwon Dami hopes that Zhilong can have one!
Sitting in a cafe with my child, my mind was full of things. All I was thinking about was what those three people would talk about and how to deal with the child's future.
The distracted adult didn't notice that little Taotao opposite her was also looking at her. It was not until she finished eating a small egg tart that she noticed that Quan Daming wanted to say, "Taotao, do you want to have another one?"
When I looked up, I met the child's eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, as if he could see through every detail of the world.
Staring at her straight, Quan Damei seemed to have forgotten what she was about to say.
"Auntie~"
"Dad, Mom, and Aunt, they're all very strange."
The names the children say represent the adults. The so-called strangeness refers to the adults who have become different from before.
Although they tried their best to hide it in front of the child, the child could sense the clues when they first met, and all these emotions similar to dislike were received by her.
Little Taotao seems to know everything. She is naturally superior in perceiving people's emotions.
This is also what Quan Damei believes, one of the characteristics she completely inherited from her parents, a highly sensitive personality.
They often have an extraordinary perception of their surroundings and can keenly detect the emotions of others and subtle changes in the atmosphere. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
She had no doubt that this child would have great artistic talent when he grew up. Zhilong said that the three-year-old Taotao already had a sense of music.
When the woman heard him say this to her with a smile, she was stunned. Somehow, Quan Damei remembered that when she was a child, Quan's mother had said the same thing to Zhilong in front of the whole family.
"Sir, are there many secrets that cannot be told?"
"Why can't Taotao listen?"
I deliberately asked my aunt to take her away. If it were my old aunt, she would not give her egg tarts at night.
He asked the question in a serious tone like a little adult, with a serious expression on his face.
But children of this age who are too good-looking exude a cute aura in everything they do. The distressed look of holding their faces with their hands is so cute, like a scene from a CF shoot, with designed lines being spoken.
Quan Dami was stunned, then amused. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the little fleshy face. The skin in her hand felt very delicate, like a little cream jelly, delicate and smooth.
"Oh my god~ this kid..."
"Does Taotao have a secret too?"
Quan Damei laughed, as she had indeed been noticed, and knew that she was the one who was being sent away.
But she couldn't answer this question. Could it be that because the current parents haven't reached the right time to give birth to Taotao, Taotao is a child from the future?
Little Taotao rolled her eyes and said nothing. Her cheeks puffed up a little in anger. She expressed her dissatisfaction with her aunt's change of subject and said, "Yes!"
"I won't tell you~"
Humph! Adults can’t know children’s secrets.
"Auntie~ Taotao also wants a small egg tart."
While mom and dad are away, she quickly blackmails her silly aunt again. Otherwise, next time, after dad scolds her, her aunt will definitely not let her eat.
Kwon Dami: “…”
.
In the studio, the atmosphere between the three people present transitioned abruptly from a negotiation scene like meeting a parent to a lawyer consultation, thanks to the "frank words" of Song Yu's sister-in-law.
The three consecutive questions confused the two parties involved, as if the whole situation had been exposed. Kwon Ji-yong and Song Yu were forced to hold a press conference together and answer the tricky questions from the reporters below the stage. The explanations they prepared were completely shattered by the questions.
I can't tell the truth, and I can't just brush it off in some places, so I can only tell a little lie. But what happens after a lie? I need more lies to fill the gap.
In the end, all the evidence was labeled as "unreliable" and "false".
It is easy to imagine how miserable the two people sitting on the stage would die if the press conference developed like this.
Both of their careers as artists are no longer necessary.
"Sister-in-law, you are making excuses!"
"When someone comes up, they say it's a surrogate pregnancy."
And is she crazy? What's the point of having a surrogate child with her ex-ex-boyfriend?
Jin Xizhu ignored her sister-in-law who was jumping up and down in anger. Her eyes were still full of a playful smile. Instead, she spoke to Quan Zhilong, who remained calm throughout the whole process, and said softly: "Zhilongxi, I believe you should be very familiar with such hypothetical questions."
Although Song Yu is an artist who debuted in South Korea, her previous experiences in South Korea are far less than one-tenth of the major and minor scandals that Kwon Ji-yong has encountered in his career.
SM Entertainment has always been strict in its approach. During the time of Song Yu and the others, the company was well-known for its strict discipline of its artists. The biggest news that artists made was about terminating their contracts with the company or scandals like drunk driving.
For female artists, the biggest scandal is the rumor of their love life.
And what about YG where Kwon Ji-yong is?
From top to bottom, it was once called a "drug den" because the artists in this company were always involved in drugs.
Whether it's himself or his teammates' scandals, if they happened to artists from other companies, each one of them would be enough to crush them. It's only because Quan Zhilong himself has a strong immune system that he seems to be able to turn the tide every time, save the company, and save the team...
Until the last incident, it was too big, just like surviving with a broken arm. Being able to keep the name of the team he created was already the limit.
And the reason why Quan Zhilong has been unable to return for several years is also due to these reasons, isn't it?
After every major event, how vicious the outside world's discussions and speculations about them are. How could Quan Zhilong not know?
No! He knew it very well, so he couldn't let Song Yu and Tao Tao get involved.
During the silent time, although his face remained expressionless, his tightly clenched hands, with the knuckles turning white from the force, revealed the owner's inner emotional changes.
Kim Hee-joo sighed. In this matter, the person who thought more about the long-term relationship between the two was actually Kwon Ji-ryong!
Song Yu is the type who takes things one step at a time. She has been with her sister-in-law for ten years, so how could she not know her?
If I hadn't run into him at the airport tonight and forced him to confess to her, I don't know how long it would have dragged on. It's possible that at the last moment, when the truth can no longer be hidden, my family would have found out from the news.
"Taotao's identity issue, what do you want to do?"
I can't stay in Korea forever. This kind of hiding life is too unfair to the children.
"Do you want to give the child to one party for raising?"
"no."
After Jin Xizhu finished speaking, Quan Zhilong denied it almost immediately. The person who was originally sitting there exuded an unquestionable aura.
His eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could penetrate all the fog, and his determination to look directly at the core of the problem was very strong. Compared with the discussion on the relationship exposure issue just now, on the issue of the child's ownership, the woman clearly felt the changing aura of Quan Zhilong.
As their eyes met, the man said in a cold voice, "We have already discussed the issue of Taotao's custody. We will raise the child together."
After knowing that the other party was a lawyer, Quan Zhilong seemed to have anticipated that such a scenario would occur. The woman's family would discuss the issue of child custody with him, like a divorced couple, either arguing about property or children.
Obviously, he and Song Yu would not have any property disputes, only children.
But Quan Zhilong doesn't want Taotao to be obtained by himself, he wants three people to get her together.
"oh?"
Her eyes moved between the two of them, and a teasing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she had already seen through the man's little thoughts. She simply asked a question directly, forcing the other party to admit it.
Meeting her sister-in-law's teasing gaze, Song Yu felt uncomfortable all over, fearing that she would hear some shocking remarks from her in the next second.
Without thinking too much, I followed Quan Zhilong's words and nodded to indicate that it was true.
"As for Taotao's legal identity, I want to..." Quan Zhilong paused and met Song Yu's gaze.
He said in a dark tone: "With our identities, it's unreasonable to have a child."
Whether it is a legitimate child or an adopted child, it is also very strange.
The best way is to...register it under the name of a relative.
"Taotao can be my sister's child in name only."
This idea was the one that Quan Zhilong had considered for the longest time and was also the most reasonable one among all the options he had thought of.
When Taotao was sick, she confessed to her sister. When Quan Dami jokingly asked whether they should exchange children, Quan Zhilong thought that Taotao could become his sister's daughter in name.
It’s not surprising when you have your sister’s child with you!
After hearing this, Jin Xizhu sat there with a frown on her face, and said nothing. It was the first time that Song Yu heard this proposal, and she was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed feasible.
Among the two women, Kwon Ji-yong could see that Song Yu trusted her sister-in-law very much. If he could convince Kim Hee-joo about his suggestion, it would be more feasible.
As a lawyer, the woman's expression was not easily revealed. From the beginning, she was the one with the least emotional fluctuations among everyone, as if she really regarded tonight's conversation as a legal consultation service for the two of them.
The slight pursed lips at this moment best revealed her inner struggle and thoughts.
In this moment of silence, it seemed as if both of them were waiting for her to speak at the same time.
Soon, the silence was broken.
"What if the adoption is under my name?"
Isn't it more appropriate?
