After seeing Zhang Gaolei and Ding Yi off, Huang Xiaochuan went directly to his uncle's house.
When he arrived, his eldest sister's family and his second sister's family were already waiting for him. After entering the house, Huang Xiaochuan first greeted his grandmother, and then greeted everyone in turn, including his two nieces.
"uncle!"
"uncle!"
Seven-year-old Xuanxuan and Liujin immediately hugged Huang Xiaochuan affectionately upon seeing him.
Huang Xiaochuan affectionately patted the heads of the two little girls. Xuanxuan will be starting first grade next September. She is growing more and more beautiful, much prettier than her parents. This child has inherited the best features from her parents.
Liu Jin wore a high ponytail, which made the otherwise pretty girl look terribly ugly.
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his second sister, Zeng Xia, and held back from making a complaint.
Zeng Xia knew what her brother meant from his eyes, and immediately explained, "I was in a bit of a rush when I left, so I just quickly tidied her up."
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at her with displeasure, said nothing, and turned to talk to his uncle and aunt.
"Aunt and Uncle, do your eldest sister and brother-in-law know?"
Before Zeng Jiahua could reply, his aunt said, "I know, I've spoken to your uncle and your eldest sister and brother-in-law, and they have no objections."
Zeng Hong's face was flushed; she had been happy all day. Hearing her aunt's words, she happily said to Huang Xiaochuan, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Why wouldn't I agree?"
Tang Jianhua, the eldest brother-in-law, was also beaming from ear to ear. To him, this was a great thing. With this child, his brother-in-law would definitely take better care of his family in the future. Moreover, his father-in-law and mother-in-law had both said that the child would not need to inherit their property in the future. His brother-in-law would make arrangements for the child. He would be crazy to disagree with such a thing.
When Zeng Jiahua and his wife told their eldest and second daughters about their idea with their nephew, and with photos of the two brothers, Yavin and Luca, Zeng Hong agreed without hesitation. In her eyes, this was a great thing, as she would have another son in the future, and this child was not an outsider, but her younger brother's own flesh and blood.
Zeng Xia was so envious and jealous at the time! When she saw that Ya Wen was going to be adopted by Zeng Hong, she argued with Zeng Jiahua and his wife about adopting Luca to her. However, her aunt slapped her and put her unrealistic idea to rest.
Seeing his elder sister's attitude, Huang Xiaochuan felt there was no need to say anything more to her and her husband.
However, Huang Xiaochuan felt it was necessary to reiterate the matter of his uncle and aunt's future assets.
"Eldest sister, second sister, I still need to tell you first that Yawen's adoption will not involve the future distribution of my maternal uncle and aunt's property. All of my maternal uncle and aunt's property will be yours in the future. I will make other arrangements for Yawen."
Zeng Hong disagreed: "Little brother, since Ya Wen has been adopted by me, he is my son. He will definitely have a share of what our parents leave behind. After all, Ya Wen is going to continue the Zeng family line. Since he is the eldest grandson of the Zeng family, he must have a share."
Zeng Hong knew that her family could not have come to Shanghai on their own, given that she had a job within the system. Tang Jianhua's business was growing bigger and bigger, and the villa she lived in was a gift from her younger brother. If it weren't for her brother, how could she have lived such a comfortable life?
Moreover, her younger brother even adopted his son to her so as to continue the Zeng family line. This was even more thoughtful than what her own brother had thought of. Zeng Hong was so moved that she could not possibly agree to her brother's arrangements regarding the future distribution of her property.
At this moment, Tang Jianhua also spoke up: "Yes, little brother, since Yawen has been adopted by us, he and Xuanxuan will each have half of him. Your older sister and I have already discussed it."
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Big sister and brother-in-law, don't argue with me. My uncle and aunt have raised me, and you two sisters have always treated me like your own brother since I was a child. There's no need for us to argue about this. Just do as I say."
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan wouldn't agree, Zeng Hong wanted to say a few more words, but at this moment Tang Jianhua quietly tugged at her arm and whispered in her ear, "Just agree first, anyway, in the future, it's still the two of us who call the shots!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Hong realized it was true. In the future, she would leave her assets to Ya Wen, and who could stop her?
He immediately stopped arguing with Huang Xiaochuan about the issue.
Zeng Xia and Huo Miao looked at the eldest sister and her husband with envy.
The matter was basically settled. Huang Xiaochuan then discussed the adoption ceremony with his uncle and aunt, which was also their suggestion. Of course, Huang Xiaochuan had to fulfill their request.
No one had any other objections, and it was decided to proceed accordingly.
At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan said, "After a while, I will arrange a car to take you back to Suzhou and show you the place where the adoption ceremony was held. Grandma will also come along."
Zeng Jiahua asked, "Where is it?"
Huang Xiaochuan kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out when the time comes; it's no fun telling you now."
Zeng Jiahua laughed and scolded, "You little monkey, what are you up to now?"
After discussing the adoption, the uncle and aunt asked about the relationship between Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang. Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia did not readily express their opinions, after all, she was their sister-in-law, and it was better not to say certain things, so as not to affect the relationship between their brother and sister-in-law.
Aunt asked, "Xiao Chuan, has Yu Xiang returned yet?"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't want his aunt and grandmother to worry or get tired, so he smiled and said, "It's just going back to my parents' house for a few days! It's fine, I'll be back in a few days."
Auntie glared at Huang Xiaochuan reproachfully: "You're still trying to hide it from us, aren't you? Your mother already told us."
Huang Xiaochuan was speechless. This mother of hers! She says everything. Can't she just pretend she doesn't know?
He comforted his aunt, "It's alright, bumps and bruises are inevitable in life, it'll be fine in a while!"
Zeng Jiahua sighed: "This isn't a trivial matter! It's normal for Yu Xiang to be confused right now. How about this? I'll go to Yu Xiang's parents' house with your aunt tomorrow and explain this to her properly, so that the misunderstanding doesn't continue."
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand, dissuading her, "Don't go. I said it's nothing, and it's nothing. Don't worry about it and get tired. I've said everything I needed to say. If she's figured it out, she'll come back naturally. If she hasn't, there's nothing I can do. Your going will be even more useless. Only she can figure this out herself. I know Yu Xiang better than you do. Don't worry!"
Upon hearing this, the group realized it was indeed true and temporarily abandoned the idea.
