1104 A Perfect Plan
“I mean, what’s your own opinion? Since this is what you want to do, then why can’t you do it? There are so many issues that you seem to be wary of and trying to avoid. If you can settle all these troublesome issues, won’t the problem be easily solved then? Actually, it all depends on whether you are keen to adopt this child or not,” Cheng Gu analyzed calmly.
“This is the first time someone has asked me for my opinion. I haven’t felt this way in a long time.” This was the first time Tan Jing felt relaxed and happy in a while. She had never been so delighted before.
Actually, she was doing all this to fight for a say in the Xia family. She wanted to have a say in the Xia family so that they would pay attention to what she wanted and not always order her around.
“Actually… I don’t know either…” Tan Jing said.
In the beginning, Tan Jing knew what she wanted, but at this moment, she already did not know what she really felt inside. She did not know if she was just angry with the Xia family, or she wanted to get a share of the Xia family’s assets, or she wanted to adopt a child before she liked children.!!
So many things had happened recently and she could not calm down and think about it properly. She needed someone to help her with the decision.
“Then can you tell me why your husband doesn’t agree?” Cheng Gu asked.
“Because that child is not related to them by blood. He doesn’t like my family, so he won’t agree to let me adopt the child. He says that he will rather adopt an unrelated child from the orphanage than adopt a child from my family,” Tan Jing said with a frown.
If Xia Wen got wind of what she said, they might have another big fight. Tan Jing had completely misinterpreted the Xia family’s intentions and did not bother to understand the Xia family’s train of thought. In her eyes, everything she did was wrong, so she might as well just go all the way.
“Then why don’t you just look within the Xia family for a child?” Cheng Gu said with a smile.
A child from the Xia family? All the children in the Xia family’s main family branches had already grown up, so there were no more children for her to adopt. Furthermore, the Xia family did not have many distant relatives. The children from those families were also not young anymore and there was no suitable candidate at all.
“They’re very picky. There’s no way they’ll let me do that. They’ll think it’s embarrassing!” Tan Jing said as she flapped her hands.
If Xia Jun found out about this, Tan Jing would definitely be severely punished. Xia Jun would never agree to such an embarrassing thing. He would rather Xia Wen be childless than let the Xia family experience such embarrassment.
Cheng Gu pondered for a long time before he said, “Didn’t you just say that your sister-in-law is pregnant with twins? That means they have an extra child. You can bring up her child. This is your husband’s bloodline and it’s perfectly justifiable. Won’t this be the best of both worlds? You’re even helping their family ease the burden. After all, the two men are biological brothers. They can also be sure that you won’t mistreat that child.”
Tan Jing felt suddenly enlightened and wondered why she had not thought of such a method! This method satisfied all the Xia family’s requirements! It also solved the urgent problem she had at hand. When the time came, it would be justifiable for her to get a share of the Xia family’s assets. It was simply too perfect!
“But… will my sister-in-law agree?” Tan Jing asked worriedly.
“As long as your mother-in-law and the rest of the family agree, what else can she say? After all, she has already married into the family. There are so many of you. Can’t anyone manage to persuade her?” Cheng Gu said.
The more Tan Jing thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea. She did not even stop to say goodbye to Cheng Gu before she hurriedly went to the bus stop and took a bus back to Xu Lan’s house to discuss this idea with them.
In the end, as soon as Tan Jing mentioned it, Xu Lan completely tore into her.
“How shameless of you! How dare you have designs on Qiao Mei’s babies! Are you crazy!” Xu Lan pointed at Tan Jing and reprimanded her.
This woman was really shameless. The children were not even born yet and she was already thinking about taking one of them, completely disregarding Qiao Mei’s safety. Her scheme was so obvious that one must be blind not to see it!
What a scheming and conniving woman. She had been asked to go back and reflect on her mistakes, but after so long, all she did was come up with such a beastly plan! It would have been better for her to just stay here and receive the Xia family’s punishments!
“I! I’m also doing this for the sake of the Xia family…” Tan Jing whispered.
