"As for the fourth brother..."
Having said this, Mo Beishen suddenly paused.
When he suddenly started to keep the topic in suspense halfway through his speech, everyone's curiosity was instantly aroused.
They all urged him to hurry up and say, "What's the fourth brother's name? Xiao Mo, tell me quickly!"
"That's right, stop keeping us in suspense!"
"Yes, brother-in-law, please tell me!" Gu Zeyi couldn't hold back his inner excitement. He nodded wildly, his face full of curiosity.
Mo Beishen and Gu Wan smiled at each other, as if they had anticipated everyone's reaction, and then revealed the name of the fourth child, "The fourth child is Xie Wanqing!"
"He took his grandfather's surname, Xie. I hope he can continue the Xie family's incense and pass it down from generation to generation!"
"What?"
There was an immediate cry of surprise from the crowd.
"What did you say the fourth brother's name was?" Mr. Xie couldn't believe his ears and hurriedly repeated it again.
This name was like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in everyone's heart.
They looked at each other, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Obviously, this name was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one had expected that the fourth ranked child would be named Xie.
In an instant, except for a few people who knew the inside story and remained calm, everyone else was shocked and some even opened their eyes wide in astonishment.
In short, when Mo Beishen announced the names of the fourth elder brothers, Mr. Xie, Xie Yunyao, Gu Xianghua, Gu Zechuan, Wang Yuanyuan and others all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"I said, the fourth child took his grandfather's surname Xie, and his full name is Xie Wanqing!" Mo Beishen repeated it slowly.
He still looked calm and composed, and even the tone of his voice was casual and natural.
In an instant, the ward fell silent again.
If the first time was an illusion caused by problems with their ears, then at this moment, they heard it clearly and distinctly.
In other words, Mo Beishen is serious.
He did name one of his children after the Xie family name, not Mo!
Mr. Xie had never expected that his grandson-in-law had prepared such a big surprise for him, so he was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He looked at his grandson-in-law in front of him, then at his granddaughter, his heart full of suspicion.
After a few seconds, he finally couldn't help but ask Gu Wan, "Nannan, did you know about this all along? Did you two discuss this decision with your parents and grandfather in advance?"
Although at this moment, Mr. Xie's heart was filled with joy and excitement, and he could even be said to be extremely excited!
But he still retained the last bit of his rationality, and he knew very well that this child was a descendant of the Mo family and the great-grandson of General Mo Zhengrong!
He didn't want to see his precious granddaughter get into trouble because of the child's surname.
I couldn't bear to see Nannan being blamed by the Mo family.
Therefore, he felt that he had to make sure all the circumstances were clear before making any further plans.
Gu Wan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Grandpa, in fact, you already knew about this when I was just three months pregnant."
"Besides, my parents and grandpa also know about this, and they are very supportive of the decision made by Ah Shen!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Mo Beishen, his father, mother, and grandfather, and continued, "Ah Shen mentioned to me before that he hoped to let one of the children have the surname Xie."
"When this child grows up, let him inherit the Xie Group."
After a pause, Gu Wan continued slowly, "After all, as a family with a history of a hundred years, the Xie family should have descendants to pass on the foundation of the Xie family from generation to generation!"
"Grandpa, you definitely don't want to see the Xie family fall from grace, right?"
"Of course I don't want this! But......"
However, before Mr. Xie could finish the rest of his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Mo at the side.
"Old man Xie, what are you doing there? Even I, your great-grandfather, don't mind, so what do you have to worry about?" Old man Mo said with a spirited smile.
His tone was relaxed and cheerful, and he didn't seem to care about the topic.
Then, he continued cheerfully, "Thank you, old man, you should be happy! This is a good thing, just be happy!"
At this time, Mo Xiaoyun also explained, "My father is right! Uncle Xie, you don't need to worry about the issue of the child's surname."
"Because not only do we have no objections, but we also fully support Xiao Mo's decision!"
In fact, when their son proposed to them and Mr. Mo that he want one of their children to have the surname Xie, they were indeed a little surprised.
After all, in traditional concepts, it is normal for children to take their father's surname.
However, they did not dwell on it too much and chose to believe and support their son/grandson.
Because they understood that Mo Beishen must have his own considerations and reasons for making such a decision.
Perhaps it was out of gratitude to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, perhaps it was to continue the Xie family's bloodline, or perhaps there were other deeper reasons.
But no matter what, as parents and as grandfathers, they are willing to respect Mo Beishen's wishes and give him their greatest support.
"Dad, please agree to it quickly!" After Gu Xianghua reacted, he immediately shouted happily to his father-in-law.
After listening to what Grandpa Mo and Mo Xiaoyun said, he gradually understood the purpose of his son-in-law's actions, so he quickly asked his father-in-law to accept Xiao Mo and Nannan's proposal.
After all, giving a child the surname Xie has a completely different meaning.
Mr. Xie nodded immediately and said with a smile, "Hey! Yes, yes, yes, we must! This is a good name for our fourth child! It's really a great name!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was so happy that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not visible. His whole body was surrounded by deep joy and relief.
In short, at this moment, Mr. Xie was really excited!
I never thought that my grandson-in-law would take the initiative to suggest that the child be given the surname Xie, and I never expected that Mr. Mo and Mo Xiaoyun and his wife would also agree and support it.
When Mr. Mo saw that he was laughing so hard that his teeth were about to fall out, he couldn't help but joked, "Old Xie, don't just be happy. You have to prepare an extra gift for our four treasures~"
"No problem! I'll prepare it later! I'll prepare an extra gift for each of the five children." Upon hearing this, Mr. Xie immediately nodded in response.
As the words fell, the ward was instantly filled with joyful laughter!
