"I think Qianya really likes her too. I wonder if Qianya can give me this opportunity." Helan Zhi had known about his mother's request for a long time. She had been nagging him for so long. If he didn't get the old lady's wish today, who knows how long she would keep nagging him.
He Lanzhi also thought Sheng Qian was a good match, and it wouldn't hurt to adopt her as a goddaughter.
"The old lady and Uncle Helan think so highly of Sheng Qian. If I refuse, wouldn't that spoil their good mood? As long as Uncle Helan doesn't mind Sheng Qian's background, Sheng Qian would be very happy to recognize Uncle Helan as her godfather."
Sheng Qian also wanted to figure out why.
So I readily agreed.
"We don't mind at all, we don't mind at all. We were worried that a good child like you would think we were being presumptuous." Madam Helan smiled and lovingly took Sheng Qian's hands, gesturing to her son with a smile.
He Lanzhi sighed and took out a red envelope he had prepared beforehand from his pocket. “Your godfather didn’t prepare a gift either. Please accept this first. We’ll find a suitable opportunity to announce it to the family later and have a proper ceremony.”
Upon seeing the red envelope, Sheng Qian's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
He smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, godfather!"
"Great! I finally have a granddaughter!"
The scene of recognizing relatives was somewhat abrupt.
But none of the three of them felt anything was wrong.
Sheng Qian remained wary of unprovoked gestures of goodwill from others.
"Have Xiao Jin go home tonight!"
Madam Helan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Helan said, "Mom, Ajin might not be coming back tonight. He went out of town on business."
Madam Helan frowned: "Out of the city again."
“He should be back in a few days. When he comes back, let him come home to meet Qian.” Helan Zhi looked at Sheng Qian: “Qian, Ajin is your sworn brother. We’ll introduce you to him when he gets back.”
“Okay,” Sheng Qian said, expressing her happiness perfectly.
She was not proud of becoming Helan's goddaughter, nor did she lose her composure in her joy.
Helan Zhi watched her every move and nodded approvingly.
Remain calm in the face of both honor and disgrace, and behave with propriety.
Sheng Qian is no ordinary young girl.
Helan Zhi was quite confident in his judgment of people.
At lunchtime, Sheng Qian ate at He Lan's house. Old Madam He Lan instructed the kitchen to make sure to cook Sheng Qian's favorite dishes. A large table of sumptuous dishes was prepared, which showed that He Lan's family valued this goddaughter who had just come to live with them.
He Lanzhi left in a hurry after finishing his meal, as he had many other things to attend to.
Especially regarding the matter of tracing back the phone, many decisions required his input.
Before leaving, Helan Zhi had someone prepare a gift for Sheng Qian.
Sheng Qian left the Helan residence in the afternoon, and Old Madam Helan personally saw her off outside. Since Sheng Qian insisted on not staying at the Helan family home, Old Madam Helan could not force her.
"Qian, you must remember to come and visit your grandma."
"Grandma, I understand."
Now that they had acknowledged each other as family, Sheng Qian changed how she addressed him.
"This is the house key. We've also prepared a room for you, so you can come home anytime. If you have any friends outside, you can bring them over to play. There's no one else at home except for this old lady. It's quiet all day long, and it's hard to have any fun."
Old Madam Helan then feigned pitifulness.
The servant standing behind remained silent.
Sheng Qian smiled and said, "I will often go back to the Helan family to visit my grandmother."
Seeing that Sheng Qian had arrived by car, Old Madam Helan swallowed back the words she was about to say about seeing her off.
But that didn't stop her from stuffing good things into Sheng Qian's car.
Sheng Qian drove a long way and glanced at the pile of gift boxes in the back seat, feeling both amused and exasperated.
At the same time, he was also pondering the intentions behind the Helan family's sudden recognition of him as their godparent.
She didn't think there was anything of value in herself, and her only public assets were her clothing store and skincare products.
Could it be that Helan Zhi noticed something that day?
No.
It shouldn't be.
Because Helan Zhi had already prepared when he took out the red envelope.
They had already discussed with Madam Helan about taking her in as a goddaughter.
Sheng Qian drove away, thinking of buying some ingredients at the nearby market to cook some good meals for Long Yunting, when she saw the patrol car parked next to her.
The patrol team is here, and Long Yunting should be here too.
She drove forward for a while and sure enough, she saw Long Yunting ahead.
Through the glass, I saw Xie Chiquan standing in front of Long Yunting, saying something that seemed a little awkward.
She frowned slightly, then opened the car door and got out.
"Long Yunting".
Sheng Qian stood there, becoming a sight to behold, and her voice drew all eyes to her.
Upon seeing Sheng Qian, Long Yunting disregarded Xie Dashao and pushed his wheelchair over to greet her, his gaze fixed on her without blinking. The joy in his eyes was undeniable.
Xie Chiquan looked over, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
They were still several steps behind Long Yunting.
If he had met Sheng Qian earlier than Long Yunting, Sheng Qian wouldn't have had to marry someone with the stigma of being a bride to bring good luck.
