I don't know what to say anymore, why can't I reason with this old lady?
"Grandma, please give us a little time. You should go and rest first."
Zhang Hongmei was also afraid that Zhang Shouyi would have a grudge. Back when he was the third son, he was indebted to the Liu family. How was he going to explain this to his child's father now?
The old lady patted Zhang Hongmei's hand, and Hu Aifen accompanied her out.
Zhang Hongmei waved to Zhang Shouyi.
Zhang Shouyi was really angry, but looking at his wife like this, he really didn't know what to say. However, he still obediently came over and lay on the bed looking at his wife.
"Brother Zhang, what do you think?"
"Honey, of course I disagree, but if you insist, I'll agree. Everything I do is based on you. Because of you, we have this child. So, the decision is yours."
Zhang Hongmei was quite moved, and she held Zhang Shouyi's hand.
"Brother Zhang, do you think I'm using the child to do someone a favor?"
Wyatt will also be coming over at the end of the year; his intention is to adopt Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi as his godsons.
Look, the baby's barely been born, and people are already eyeing it.
Zhang Hongmei chuckled self-deprecatingly. She continued, "Others might think this is a good opportunity. But for our family, we don't need any of this."
But I really couldn't bear to refuse. They're all my family, my best friends. To them, it's just a title they hold. But I always feel like I'm betraying my sons.
"Honey, you're overthinking it. None of that is true. The children and I wouldn't have such thoughts, so don't worry about it."
Now it's Zhang Shouyi who's comforting Zhang Hongmei.
"Brother Zhang, you agree, right? You all agree, right?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, you're the one who gave birth to the child, so I'll listen to you."
"Okay, then let's do it this way. Liu Jingze will benefit."
Since both of them had agreed, Zhang Shouyi went out to find Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo, who would surely inform the old man.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo remained silent. They both knew that regardless of the child's surname, he was Zhang Shouyi's son. However, they were still somewhat unhappy, especially Zhang Xingguo, whose grandson now had two different surnames.
“Grandpa, Dad, Wyatt, a friend from Red Plum Country M, wants these three little ones to be his godsons. He’ll be coming before the New Year.”
"Why is everyone eyeing my grandson? This isn't over yet." Zhang Xingguo immediately glared.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Hongmei has her own plans. Godfather it is then," Gu Chuanming advised Zhang Xingguo.
When the child woke up again, Zhang Hongmei fed him and then told Hu Aifen and her husband that they had agreed.
Hu Aifen's tears streamed down her face. "Hongmei, thank you, thank you so much."
"Auntie, please don't do this. Even if we don't agree, he's still your grandson."
"Yes, yes." Hu Aifen was almost incoherent now. Her eldest son was already thirty-nine. He had really hardened his heart and refused to start a family. All his thoughts were on Hongmei and Weiyu, and now he had another worry to worry about.
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the result, but also felt extremely sorry for Hongmei. The child must be upset, right? She had only been trying to repay a debt of gratitude. Oh well, that's how it is.
At noon, Liu Jingze drove directly to the high school after get off work and found Zhang Weiyu.
"Godfather, what brings you here at this hour? We were just about to go home."
"I'm inviting the four of you out to dinner. Don't go back today; I have something to discuss with you."
Zhang Zhenye said with a smile, "Uncle, you and Weiyu can go out. The three of us will go home."
Liu Jingze nodded. "It would be better if you didn't have to go back. I have something to discuss with you."
In the end, the five of them went to the hot pot restaurant.
The food was served very quickly. "You four eat, and listen to me."
All four of them had a very deep bond with Liu Jingze. They met every week, and they could genuinely feel Liu Jingze's affection for them.
"Here's the thing, I saw Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi today. I want to adopt Xiao Wu as my godson, meaning he'll take my surname. Wei Yu, what do you think?"
"Hehe, godfather, shouldn't you be asking my parents? I have no objection. What do you think, eldest brother?"
Zhang Zhenye laughed, "Uncle, this is really a matter between you adults. No matter what, Xiao Wu is our younger brother, and Wei Yu has no objections, so we certainly won't have any either."
“Well, you’re all grown up now, and there are some things you can know. I’m not afraid of losing face in front of you. I’ve always loved your mother, but in the end, she ended up with your father.” Liu Jingze said, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"I will never love anyone else in my life, nor will I start a family. I will just stay with your mother and hope that she can be happy."
When I first saw Weiyu, my heart melted. This is my son, Liu Jingze's son.
However, because there were high-ranking leaders present at the time, I did not ask Weiyu to take my surname.
I met Xiao Wu today, and my heart is even more excited.
Weiyu, your godfather assures you, you and Xiaowu are the same in my heart.
The four brothers were shocked by the news, their eyes widening in disbelief. They finally understood why their father disliked their uncle. No one would feel comfortable knowing someone was eyeing their wife.
Zhang Weiyu smiled; he could hear Liu Jingze's thoughts. He knew Liu Jingze was extremely anxious, afraid that he wouldn't be satisfied.
What does it really matter? They're all adopted sons; it's just a matter of surnames. Aren't they all their father's sons? Aren't they all brothers?
He knew Liu Jingze truly cared about him, and smiled, "Godfather, I have no objection. No matter what, he's my brother. You should think about how to get my parents' approval."
Liu Jingze smiled. "Don't worry, your dad will definitely agree."
The four brothers laughed too; in the end, their father listened to their mother.
With our great-grandparents and maternal grandmother at home, Mom will definitely agree, and there won't be any problem with Dad.
The four of them simultaneously thought of how to comfort their father.
After the meal, Liu Jingze took them back to school.
I returned to work feeling a bit excited. My heart was pounding. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I just wanted to get off work as soon as possible.
The office colleagues were all very shocked. Their faces, which had remained unchanged for years, finally showed a different expression. It was truly a rare sight.
What good thing happened? The female colleagues didn't dare to look at their boss anymore; it was truly terrifying. They were genuinely afraid of Liu Jingze.
He showed absolutely no tenderness or compassion towards women. Especially towards female colleagues, he would always speak to them from a distance of three meters. Once, a new female college student approached him, and he criticized her mercilessly in front of him, telling her to leave.
