Zhang Shouyi sighed, "Is this my fault? That's just how I am."
Gu Chuanming ignored him and hurriedly wrote a letter to Zhang Hongmei, agreeing to send a photo of his great-granddaughter over to show her.
Zhang Shouyi sent the letter in front of Gu Chuanming, and received a reply in less than five minutes.
After obtaining the photos, and since both of them agreed, the godparent relationship was officially recognized.
With her family's approval, Zhang Hongmei felt at ease. In fact, she knew that this was a union of interests, and she was the link between them.
Forty minutes had passed. I walked up behind Annie, and the little girl was completely absorbed in her game. It seems that being addicted to games can really make people lose their will to play.
He sat down to read again, not intending to wake her, wanting to see how much self-control this little girl had.
Zhang Hongmei was multitasking, reading a book while observing Annie. She noticed that there were only five minutes left until an hour had passed. The girl looked up at the clock on the wall, and three minutes later walked from behind the computer to Zhang Hongmei's side. "Mom, my playtime is over."
Zhang Hongmei hugged Annie tightly and kissed her hard on the cheek. "My Annie, how can you be so good? How can you be so adorable? Mommy loves you so much. I knew your godfather and god-grandfather would love you too."
"Really, Mom? Will they all like me?"
"Of course, and you'll really like it, I promise."
"Could they come to see me?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head, "Your godfather and maternal grandfather are both very busy, so they don't have time to come see you. But I will let them know, and I think they will definitely send a gift to my angel Annie."
"Hehe, Mom, let's look at the photos again. Tell me which one is Dad and which one is Grandpa."
"Great! Look, this is a photo of the three of us. Look, your maternal grandfather is a spirited old man, and isn't your godfather handsome?"
"Yes, I think he's just as handsome as my dad; no one else can compare."
"Hehe, yeah." He thought no one was more handsome than Zhang Shouyi.
"Mom, can you pick me up and let me stay here every Friday from now on?"
"Of course, I'll pick you up every Friday afternoon after school. But I might not be able to get to school in time, so don't be sad."
"Yes, I know, Mom has to go to school too. Mom, do you think I can come to school here?"
"Why?" Zhang Hongmei asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I want to be with my mom every day,” Annie nestled into Zhang Hongmei’s arms.
“But then you won’t be able to see your dad, and your grandparents. I think you should come with me on Friday nights and Sunday nights, and spend the rest of the time with them. They love you so much, and they will be sad if you suddenly leave.”
"Okay, then you must pick me up on Friday. Then take me to school on Sunday night, sleep with me, and take me to school on Monday."
Zhang Hongmei was a little embarrassed. "Annie, let's discuss this with your father later. I need to know your school time in the morning. If it's too close to my school time, I really won't be able to take you to school. I'm late every week, and the teacher will really be angry."
"Okay, I'll go call Dad up. I always get to school at eight o'clock. What time is it for you, Mom?"
"I'm very sorry, I'm at 8:30, but I'm afraid half an hour won't be enough time. I'll ask your dad later."
"Mom, wait for me, I'll go get Dad to come up." Annie was very anxious. Actually, she wanted to stay with Zhang Hongmei, but she was also afraid that her father and grandparents would be lonely.
Carlos McKen saw his daughter come downstairs. "Dad, go upstairs and talk to Mom about me."
"Okay, honey, I'll be right there." He then stood up and followed Annie upstairs.
Actually, Carlos McKen was very anxious and wanted to know what was going on with Zhang Hongmei's husband.
He only came up with the idea of adopting a godparent in a moment of inspiration. In fact, he did not agree with his mother adopting Zhang Hongmei as her daughter. He still had a fantasy that he might be able to become husband and wife with Zhang Hongmei. He had finally met a woman he had feelings for and really did not want to miss the opportunity.
But my mother is a farsighted person; she wouldn't make such a decision without a reason. There must be something she doesn't know.
Zhang Hongmei was reading in the study. "Mom, Dad's coming up."
Zhang Hongmei stood up. "Mr. McKen, please have a seat."
Carlos McKen's eyes immediately fell on the photo album on the table. The page he opened to showed a picture of Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Hongmei in formal attire. The handsome man in the photo smiled with such contentment. Even an outsider like himself could tell at a glance that this man doted on Zhang Hongmei to the core.
"What does Miss Zhang want with me?"
"Dad, here's the thing, I want Mom to pick me up every Friday night, take me home on Sunday night, and then live with me and take me to school on Monday."
Zhang Hongmei listened to Annie's clear and logical explanation and felt that this child was destined for great things.
"Mr. McKen, we're just wondering if we can make it in time? And how long does it take to drive from B University to your home?"
"Hehe, Miss Zhang, you don't need to worry. University students arrive at school at 8:30, right?"
Zhang Hongmei nodded.
“Annie arrives at school at eight o’clock. Her school is about fifteen minutes away from your school.”
"So you mean I can make it to class perfectly, right? Okay, Annie, I'll take you to school every Monday."
“Ms. Zhang, don’t worry. Annie has a personal driver who will be responsible for picking you both up and dropping you off from now on. You don’t need to drive yourself.”
Zhang Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great! I'm still not fully used to the traffic in both countries. Driving in less crowded areas is fine, but I think I'll get very nervous when I get to school zones."
"Don't worry, there's a driver. Also, Ms. Zhang, I'd like to see the new game you've developed."
"Mr. McCann is free; it's all in the computer."
"Annie, let's go for a walk first. Staying in rooms with computers all the time will make our skin age faster. Let's go play with Grandma and the others."
Anne, of course, had no objections, and they went downstairs hand in hand.
Carlos McKen watched the two leave, one big and one small, and quickly turned his attention back to the games. He had to admit, these games were really interesting; he found himself playing them for a while longer than he expected. This was truly a business opportunity. It was a pity that this clever person was already taken; that man was truly farsighted. He wondered how much hope he still had.
