"I know, Godfather, I've been afraid all along, do you believe me?"
Looking at his adopted son, Zhang Shouyi was somewhat moved. He knew that the son truly treated his wife like a mother, and genuinely cared for Zhenye and the others, treating them like younger brothers.
Perhaps Huang Meihua and Carlos have other ulterior motives regarding this place, but this child is absolutely sincere.
He sighed inwardly, "Daniel, I'll pretend I don't know anything. I've never hidden anything from your godmother."
But this time, I'm making an exception for you. However, I can only say that I won't tell your godmother now. If she finds out after you leave, I will tell her the truth. As for Green, Rick, and Catherine, I will treat them the same way I treated Ruiyang and the others.”
"Thank you, godfather."
"Daniel, leave me the photos of Rick and Catherine."
Daniel nodded, wondering how he would get past his sister when he got back.
The two of them came out of the study with no change in their expressions. Daniel was leaving tomorrow, and Zhang Hongmei was doing a final check on the things she wanted to take back for him.
Seeing them come out of the study, I knew that Zhang Shouyi had given all the instructions, and I felt relieved.
The next day, Daniel declined Zhenye and the other three's offer to see him off, saying, "I'll be coming back next year to celebrate Botao and the others' first birthday, so there's no need to see me off."
Zhang Weiyu felt a little embarrassed because they hadn't seen their older brother's child yet.
Zhang Shouyi stayed, handing Daniel three small porcelain bottles about the length of a finger and three documents.
Daniel carefully placed the porcelain bottle into the inner pocket of his breast pocket. He then opened the file folder.
"Godfather!"
“This is for the children. Take it back and give it to Annie. I wanted to bring the children back to raise, but since it belongs to Annie, I agreed. Go ahead and come back next year.”
Daniel saw the share transfer document above; it showed that each child had five percent of the shares—that was quite a large sum.
After seeing Daniel off, Zhang Shouyi didn't go to work. Last night, he and his wife had asked for two extra bottles of spiritual spring water and two equity transfer documents, which made Hongmei suspicious. He decided to stay and tell her today.
"Brother Zhang, what happened?"
"Hongmei, don't be anxious or angry about what I say."
"What exactly happened? As long as it's not a matter of principle, I can accept it."
Zhang Shouyi took Zhang Hongmei's hand and led her into his study. He took out photos of the two children from a drawer and handed them to her.
Zhang Hongmei took it with a puzzled look, and when she saw the two children on it, her eyes widened immediately.
"Brother Zhang?"
"These are your grandson and granddaughter, Wei Yu and Annie's children?"
"What?"
"Don't rush, sit down and I'll tell you slowly. I'm not going to work today, okay? We agreed not to rush." Zhang Shouyi took his wife's hand as she stood up.
"Brother Zhang, what exactly happened?" Zhang Hongmei was truly anxious. How could this be Wei Yu and Annie's child? How could it be?
“Yesterday I talked to Daniel about the spiritual spring water. The boy thought about it for a while before showing me the photos, wanting to ask me for two more bottles to give to the two children.”
Zhang Hongmei panicked, "How could Weiyu and Annie be together? I know my own son. If he were really with Annie, he would never hide it from me, and there would never be any arranged marriage or childbirth."
"Annie liked Weiyu, but Weiyu didn't know. When she found out that Weiyu was getting married, that silly girl committed suicide. After that, Daniel used a method to get Weiyu's child. After Weiyu got married, Annie had the two children. That's the gist of the story."
After hearing Zhang Shouyi's words, Zhang Hongmei sat there and shed tears. Her first thought was to feel sorry for Annie.
"Alright, stop crying. Since things have already come to this, what good will it do for you to feel sorry for Annie? Weiyu has a wife and two kids now, what can we do?"
"Brother Zhang, Wei Yu probably doesn't know that Annie likes him, right?"
"Probably. Do you think we don't know what kind of person your son is? His attitude towards Annie hasn't changed, which means he doesn't know."
“Poor Annie!” Zhang Hongmei said, sitting there with tears streaming down her face. Zhang Shouyi quickly wiped them away for her.
"If this silly girl had shown it, things might have turned out differently. How could she be so foolish?"
"Is she afraid of losing Weiyu? Weiyu doesn't know, and they can still be like siblings. If she makes it clear that Weiyu has no feelings for her, then it will be very awkward."
She also knew Wei Yu's identity; unless he left this family, there was no way he could marry a foreigner.
"You brat, why do you think so much? Can't you think about yourself? You're driving me crazy."
Zhang Shouyi picked up Zhang Hongmei and held her in his arms.
We agreed that we wouldn't get angry.
"No, I have to go and see, I absolutely must go."
“Hongmei, what you’re doing will make a lot of people suspicious. Daniel said that Huang Meihua and her husband didn’t know about this, but I don’t believe that Carlos didn’t know at first. When you were worried about Annie’s feelings, he always gave you the runaround. He must have known that Annie liked Weiyu.”
"But I won't feel at ease if I don't take a look."
"How can you be at ease after just one glance? You can't bring the child back later, so what will happen to Annie? What will happen to Weiyu? What will happen to Qin Shuang? What about the four children?"
“But that’s my grandson. Even if he’s not Wei Yu’s child, I still want to go see him.”
“Hongmei, Annie’s children are being kept secret. We’ve already given them the Spirit Spring Water, and I’ve told Daniel to come back for more next year.”
Yesterday, Daniel begged me not to let Wei Yu and you know; he and Annie are afraid of losing you.
Zhang Hongmei really didn't know what to do. Staring at the child in the photo, he was so cute, but this was a mistake, and she couldn't let the mistake be made public, otherwise seven people would be hurt.
"How could this brat have such thoughts? There are so many men in the world."
Zhang Shouyi is not saying anything now, because if he did, he would definitely be criticized.
"Daniel makes me so angry! How could he do something like this with Annie?"
"Daniel is afraid of making you angry, so he doesn't dare to tell you. Calm down, just keep this to yourself."
"No, I'm still worried. I can't go myself. I'll just send someone over to check on things, and also send some more spiritual spring water to the child."
"Hongmei, calm down, don't do this, it's too risky."
"If it doesn't work, let Liu Jingze go. I don't trust anyone else, but I trust him."
Zhang Shouyi felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Why did you believe him?
“Hongmei, he just got back, it’s not appropriate to go now, his current situation is very sensitive.”
