Wang Xinyi smiled and said, "Yes, actually, the couple's health has never been very good, but they have someone on their mind and can't afford to get sick. They also look forward to seeing Daniel's child."
Especially Sister Huang, her traditional thinking is too strong. She can't see a son in the next generation, and she's unwilling to give up.
Zhang Hongmei thought so too. And it really is. Huang Meihua is actually a very traditional Chinese woman.
The two spent the entire afternoon talking about lives they had never been a part of.
Lu Xing and Gao Xueqing listened from the side without showing any impatience.
"Will Yulun not be back until Saturday?"
Lu Xing nodded, "Yes, he's very busy right now, but he'll be back on Friday afternoon."
"Lu Xing, what does Yu Lun want to do in the future?"
“I don’t get involved in this; it’s his choice, and I support him.”
"Hehe, that's good. But Yulun is a traditional person, so you don't need to worry about him."
By 5 p.m., Zhao Haozheng and the others still hadn't returned, so Daniel brought Xiao Wu and the other two back.
The house became lively, but Daniel didn't stay. He was going to Victoria's house for dinner that night. He wanted Xiao Wu and the others to come along, but the three children refused. They hadn't seen their mother all day and were worried about her.
Before dinner was over, they received a call from Wyatt, inviting them to Roy's house the next day.
“Hongmei, we’re not going to the old house, we’re at my house. Would you like to see my lovely daughter?”
Zhang Hongmei laughed, "Wyatt, you! Okay, the four of us will go together tomorrow at noon."
"No need, I'll send someone to pick you up. How could my adopted son not know where home is? Let the brothers meet and strengthen their bond."
Zhao Hao was listening in on the phone when he saw Zhang Hongmei put it down. He chuckled and said, "Hongmei, your schedule must be completely full, right?"
"Yes, we can refuse to see others, but you three families are family, how can we refuse to see you?"
Zhao Hao was leaving get off work as usual tonight. He knew that Zhang Hongmei was at his house and he had a lot to talk to her about.
After dinner, the two went into the study and didn't finish until Carlos and Daniel came to pick them up.
Back at the McCann’s house, I was surprised to see Annie.
Annie threw herself into Zhang Hongmei's arms, "Mom!"
"Honey, do you have time?"
"Yes, I took my uncle and the others to the hotel. I can only come back after he rests."
"Hehe, your uncle can do it himself too."
"Yes, Mom, my uncle is really amazing, so amazing. Today's negotiations drove our people crazy. They were all being led by the nose by my uncle."
Zhang Hongmei was certainly aware of Liu Jingze's abilities. In fact, after hearing Lijun's inner thoughts and some of what Zhang Shouyi said, she knew that in her past life, Liu Jingze was Zhang Shouyi's current position.
That's not something an ordinary person can do, so even though Zhang Shouyi was jealous, he still sent Liu Jingze over.
"Hehe, you can spend more time with your uncle and ask him directly if you don't understand anything."
"That's how I am. But my uncle still holds back a bit, though I'm already very satisfied."
"Honey, are you going home tonight?"
Annie pouted, "Mom, I've taken the day off. I'll sleep with you tonight."
"Okay, let's do it together."
Xiao Wu moved closer to Annie. "Sis, you look even younger than me."
"Xiao Wu, are you jealous?"
"Sis, you're amazing! You could tell just by looking at it like that."
Huang Meihua was naturally happy to see the children getting along so well.
"Alright, everyone go and rest," Beth said with a smile, not wanting the younger generation to keep the two elders company.
The mother and daughter were lying on the same bed once again.
"Annie, why don't you want to get married? Your grandmother is very worried, and I'm even more worried."
I know you're probably thinking you can live a whole life on your own. But you're not alone in this world; you have family.
Annie didn't say anything, but snuggled closer to Zhang Hongmei.
How could she not know what her mother was saying? But her heart was already lost. It could never be found again. What could she do?
Zhang Hongmei noticed that Annie was avoiding the topic. She could try to listen to Annie's true feelings, but the child's self-protective instincts were too strong, and she simply couldn't hear her.
Zhang Hongmei sighed inwardly. They had already gone this far; if Annie herself was unwilling, there was nothing anyone else could do.
Just when Zhang Hongmei thought Annie wouldn't respond, she suddenly heard a muffled voice from inside her arms.
"Mom, can I not get married?"
"Sure, but I hope you can talk to your grandparents and tell them not to keep worrying about it."
"Yes, I will have a good talk with my grandparents."
Mom, I don't want to get married, but I want to have a child of my own.
Zhang Hongmei's heart skipped a beat. Was Annie going through a rebellious phase? How could she have such thoughts?
"Honey, being an unmarried mother isn't easy."
Even if you don't care about what others say, won't your family be affected? Will your children be affected in the future? Will your career be affected?
My daughter said that someone as outstanding as me would be liked by any boy, and I could pick anyone I wanted, but why do I have such thoughts?
Annie fell silent again. All the boys liked her? Then why didn't he like her? He treated her like family.
"Mom, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and you're the only one who knows."
I've thought about all of what you've said, but I'm not satisfied. I just want a child with him, even if it means losing my career in the future.
"My darling, who is it? How could my daughter not get it?"
"Mom, I will never tell anyone, Mom. I hope you can support me." Annie didn't look up and buried herself in Zhang Hongmei's arms.
Zhang Hongmei really didn't know how to ask anymore. What was this child thinking?
"Mom, don't ask anyone else, nobody knows."
After hearing Annie's words, Zhang Hongmei sighed, "Okay, Mom won't ask, but it's impossible for me to support you."
Anne, I'm a traditional person, and I can't accept your way of thinking.
Then came silence, an eerie silence. Neither of them spoke, but both knew the other was awake.
Zhang Hongmei felt distressed. Why was her daughter's love life so unsuccessful?
When she heard steady breathing from her arms, Zhang Hongmei relaxed. It was truly worrying. When Annie was little, she thought she was well-behaved, but now it seemed that such children had become more and more opinionated as they grew up.
