“I won’t go with you, and I won’t take care of him or give up my friends for him,” Zhang Zhilin said coldly to Gu Jing.
Wang Jinhe looked at Gu Jing in disbelief, “Have you gone mad? Did you say such things to Xiao Zhi?”
“I know you don’t like me anymore. When you came back and took me to see that child, you talked the most about me taking good care of him, not competing with him for things because he’s younger, and giving him whatever good things I have. He’s my little brother.”
“Since this year, you haven’t written to me proactively, and your replies have been so perfunctory. I guessed back then that I might have a little brother or sister. To you, I’m just a trouble that can’t be gotten rid of.”
Is Zhang Zhilin foolish? No, on the contrary, he is very clever, especially after studying with Su Yu over the past two years, he has become even smarter.
He had somewhat guessed from the small matter of writing letters, so when he saw that child, it was unexpected, yet also within his expectations.
In fact, he quite liked the little brother, but they kept telling him that he should be good to him in the future, give in to him, and take care of him.
Letting him have everything, taking care of him, and building connections for him.
He endured all of this without saying anything, but they still wanted him to give up his godfather for this child.
“You said that he is better off with my godfather than I am, and that I won’t have a bright future. But this is my godfather. Why should I give him up? Are you satisfied now that I’ve lost everything?” He really didn’t have much left.
He liked his godfather and his family and didn’t want to give up his godfather to someone else.
Zhang Zhilin clutched his clothes, tears welling up in his eyes.
“When did you start making decisions about my affairs without my consent?” Su Yu looked at Gu Jing coldly.
They even wanted to replace Xiao Zhi with that newborn child.
Who did they think they were?
“We didn’t…”
“Xiao Zhi, come here to me,” Su Yu said, ignoring them and gesturing to Zhang Zhilin.
Zhang Zhilin walked over to Su Yu, head bowed. Su Yu lifted him onto his lap and wiped away his tears. “Don’t cry.”
“Godfather, can you not take that child as your adopted son?” Zhang Zhilin tugged at Su Yu’s clothes and looked up at him.
Su Yu nodded, “Okay.”
He gently patted Zhang Zhilin’s back and, when he wasn’t paying attention, pressed a point on his body to make him fall asleep in his arms.
After doing all this, Su Yu looked at them, “You can make your choice.”
“Xiao Zhi dislikes that child. Xiao He and I won’t allow him to come to the Royal Mansion, and we won’t let you give everything that belongs to Xiao Zhi, including his friends, to this child, even though he’s only three months old,” Su Yu said.
Su Yu was not a good person to begin with. He initially took a liking to Zhang Zhilin because Xiao Bao liked him, and as they spent more time together, he grew fond of the obedient and sensible child.
Now, Gu Jing and the others actually wanted to replace Xiao Zhi with that newborn child. What did they take him for?
Xiao Bao, leaning against Su Yu, pouted and said, “Dad, make them leave. I don’t want to see them, and I want my brother to stay with us in the future.”
“Okay.”
“Brother, we’ll take Xiao Zhi to rest while you handle things,” Nan Qiao could tell that Su Yu had other matters to attend to.
“Okay.”
Nan Qiao and Luo Hou each carried a child and left, while Luo Yan and Bai Qi stayed behind. As for Yin Fan and the others, they were sent by Su Yu to handle other matters and were not present, otherwise things would not have been so easily settled.
After spending such a long time with Xiao Zhi in Xie Family Village, they had grown very fond of him.
After the children had left, Su Yu looked at Gu Jing and Zhang Qin, “You have two choices. Make your decision.”
Zhang Qin looked at Su Yu and knew he was serious. There was no room for any argument this time.
“I choose Xiao Zhi, he…”
“No, we choose the first one,” Gu Jing interrupted before Zhang Qin could finish.
Zhang Qin frowned at Gu Jing, “What are you doing?”
“He has someone to support him, but our son has nothing,” Gu Jing’s reason for choosing this was still based on the blood relationship with Zhang Zhilin. Right now, she was just acting out of anger. Once she calmed down, everything could be resolved. She believed that with some coaxing, Zhang Zhilin would never ignore his little brother or disown them as his biological parents.
“There is a medicine in Wan Gu’s hands that, when taken, will cause one to forget many things. If you choose the first condition, I will have Wan Gu give the medicine to Xiao Zhi. After taking it, he will sleep for two days and when he wakes up, he won’t remember anything related to you,” Su Yu said. What kind of person was Su Yu? Could he not see what Gu Jing was thinking?
He told them about this as a final chance.
If Gu Jing still chose his connections for three years, he would change Zhang Zhilin’s name, add him to the Su family genealogy, and from then on, he and Zhang Qin would have no further ties.
Gu Jing frowned, her face looking somewhat unpleasant. After considering for a while, she spoke, “I choose the first one.”
Zhang Qin felt uneasy, “Is this so important, Jing’er?”
“We want to leave more for our child,” Gu Jing said. She was confident that in three years, she could double and redouble what they had in their hands.
As for what Su Yu said, she simply didn’t believe that such a thing existed. Su Yu must be deceiving them.
Wang Jinhe, who had been silent, knew that Su Yu was telling the truth.
“Yuan Bao, bring Wan Feng here,” Su Yu said.
Soon, Wan Feng appeared in the mansion. “Young Master, what can I do for you?”
“Starting tomorrow, as long as it doesn’t violate major principles, I will share my resources with them for three years. After that, we will have no further ties,” Su Yu said, pointing at Gu Jing and Zhang Qin.
Upon hearing this, Wan Feng was surprised. Weren’t the Young Master and Gu Jing’s family godparents? Why did they suddenly want to sever ties?
“Understood.”
“If you need anything, you can ask Wan Feng. After today, don’t come back, and don’t appear in front of Xiao Zhi. Since you’ve made your choice today, don’t regret it in the future,” Su Yu said calmly as he adjusted his clothes.
“Prince…”
“I will share my resources with you for three years, but don’t take advantage. I’ve said what needs to be said. Yuan Bao, see them off. Notify the gatekeeper that we don’t need to be informed if they come again, and they shouldn’t be allowed in,” Su Yu said.
“Understood.”
“Please.”
Gu Jing left without saying a word. Zhang Qin wanted to say something, but seeing Gu Jing’s reaction, he could only follow her out.
Su Yu watched them leave with disappointment. He had offered them two choices as a chance, and even if they chose Xiao Zhi, their godparent relationship might not involve the child too much in the future, but their relationship was still there. As long as the child wasn’t useless, he could still have a good life. It was a pity that they chose to give up on Xiao Zhi.
Wang Jinhe felt uneasy, “How could they do this?”
