“Are you stupid? Father Su seems powerful. With a powerful father, no one will bully us in the future.” Sixth Sister saw that Su Wen did not take it to heart and became anxious. She added, “Big Sister, you have to agree! With Father Xu, the bad guys won’t dare to sell us.”
Su Wen’s heart skipped a beat. Her heart ached a little.
It seemed that Shi Caiyue’s incident last time had left a bad impact on her.
“You’re already calling him Father Xu. How can I say no? But I have to tell you, you can’t think about getting something without making effort, understand?” Su Wen said dotingly, “Father Xu is nice to you, so you have to be good to him too. We can’t be heartless and unfilial. You can’t just think about getting what you want and not think about giving.”
Su Wen said a lot of things. As her tone got more serious, Zhou Yan who was standing at the side heard their conversation. She was extremely impressed by Su Wen’s teaching method. She did not like parents who were so strict with their children.
Su Wen’s policy was very much to her liking.
“Stop saying. I’m here!” Little sister interrupted unhappily after being ignored for a long time.
“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go home.”
As the school was near the Xu family’s residence, the four of them walked back home hand in hand. They completely forgot about Xu Pei who was parking the car. They only remembered when they didn’t see him at home.
Xu Pei arrived home half an hour later and looked at the heartless Zhou Yan bitterly.
Xu Pei and Zhou Yan took the matter of adopting the daughter seriously. After dinner, the couple sat in the living room and began to make a name list. He informed all his relatives and friends and even booked a hotel for those who worked and lived in the Province. They booked a banquet on the 20th day of the eighth lunar month.
The relatives and friends in the Capital were too far away. Many people could not make it this time. They decided to have another celebration in the Capital during the new year. They would introduce the two little girls to the relatives and friends then.
By the time the two of them finished calling the number on the list, two hours had pa.s.sed.
“There’s one more. You can do it yourself.” Zhou Yan said.
The last name on the list was, of course, Xu Pei’s father, the old master of the
Xu family.
Old Master Xu was used to being overbearing. He already had many granddaughters. He might not be happy to hear that they had adopted two more granddaughters. It would be too difficult if they made him angry. Zhou Yan didn’t want to invite trouble for herself, so she pushed it to her husband.
Xu Pei shook his head helplessly and looked at the two little girls who were sitting obediently at the small table doing their homework. He immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes.
For his daughter, he was willing to do this.
Xu Pei made a call. After the call was connected, he said a few words before the call was transferred to Old Master Xu.
The old man’s loud voice immediately rang through the phone.
“You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, did you finally realize that you should call me?”
“Dad, I’m busy.”
“Aren’t you embarra.s.sed to say it?” Old Master Xu was furious. “You’ve embarra.s.sed me. Everyone is laughing at you now because you miss your wife and want to take leave to see her! You don’t know how to be ashamed.’
“That’s not wrong!” Xu Pei did not feel embarra.s.sed. He said matter-of-factly, “I missed her indeed.’
There was nearly a minute of silence on the phone. Old Master Xu seemed to be choked and speechless. After a long while, he continued to curse loudly, “Shameless thing. Shame on you. I’m embarra.s.sed for you.”
“Dad, it’s different from when you were young. You have to say it out loud nowadays..”
