Chapter 727: Solution
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zou Bai had heard about the Zhao family from the secret guards. To be honest, Tan Si was like a time bomb. Zhao Yan would not have a good ending if she stayed by his side.
He understood that Zhao Yan only wanted this child and did not have any feelings for Tan Si. Otherwise, he would not have kept her outside.
However, Tan Si had already placed all her hopes on Zhao Yan. If she knew that the other party had never thought of being with her, something would definitely happen.
However, Zou Bai was happy to see this happen. In any case, it wasn’t his family that was in trouble.
He took care of the matters at home as quickly as possible. Then, he pulled his brother and set off towards Xiyun with the gifts. It was the most basic thing in proposing.
As for why it was his eldest brother and not his parents who went, it was because the couple had gone to the tropical rainforest and could not rush back for a while.
When they arrived at the Jiang family’s residence, Zou Bai stopped and began to tidy up his clothes, afraid that there would be anything wrong.
Zou Fei was surprised to see her brother like this. “You never put these things on yourself. You don’t even bother to wear a gown at the gathering of the aristocratic families. Why are you so nervous today?”
Zou Bai looked at him. “Big brother, the first time you went to sister-in-law’s house, you said the wrong name. Do you need me to help you recall?”
“No need, no need. Let’s go quickly.” Zou Fei didn’t want to hear his brother say those embarrassing things.
Jiang Hai and Li Mei were waiting for them in the living room. Although they couldn’t bear for their daughter to get married, they understood that this was part of life.
The two children were very close, and with Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi, they should have been together long ago.
However, Jiang An still wanted to spend more time with them, so she had delayed it until now.
Moreover, they had heard Jiang An mention the proposal process yesterday. Thinking of the years when they supported each other when they were young, they nodded in agreement. The greatest joy as parents was to see their children happy.
Zou Bai didn’t mess up. He got someone to send many gifts to the two elders. Then, he sat down and said, “Uncle, Auntie, I’m here to propose marriage to you. I want to marry An’an.”
Zou Fei said, “Our parents are overseas and won’t be able to make it back in time, but they will definitely arrive on the day of the wedding. I’m here with Zou Bai today as his elder brother and the eldest son of the Zou family, to show how much our family values An’an.”
The other party’s etiquette was a form of respect for their child. Jiang Hai and Li Mei had no reason to object.
Li Mei said, “The two of you really love each other, so we naturally have nothing to object to. We only hope that you can live a beautiful life and live happily for the rest of your lives.”
Zou Bai stood up and said firmly, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll take care of An’an for the rest of my life. I won’t make her sad for a moment.”
They had seen Zou Bai’s actions for a long time and believed that he would do it.
Jiang An said, “Everything else is not a problem, but what do you want to say about the identities of the two children?”
Everyone fell silent when they heard this. If they announced the children’s background to the public, Jiang An would definitely be criticized. After all, she had not divorced Si Cheng when the children were born.
However, if they didn’t say it, it would be unfair to the two children. They were clearly the biological children of the Zou family. In the eyes of outsiders, Zou Bai was only their stepfather.
Even Zou Bai could not think of a perfect solution. He really did not want An’an to be discussed, but the children could not be wronged.
“I won’t respond to this for now, but I’ll give the children whatever they need, including the inheritance rights of the Zou Family,” Zou Bai said.
This was indeed the best solution at the moment. Not only would An’an not be used as a topic of conversation, but everyone would also know that these two children were the heirs of the Zou family and would not be underestimated.
At this moment, Jiang An said, “I won’t let the children suffer. If anyone wants to say anything about me, they’re free to just say it.”
She was no longer afraid of human words. No matter what outsiders said, they would not harm her. The children could not use the name of stepchildren.
Li Mei held her daughter’s hand. “I know you’re not afraid of these, but the children will be said to be the product of an affair. Can you stand such words?”
Just when everyone did not know what to do, Zou Fei said, “Why don’t we follow Zou Bai’s idea first? After that, Sister-in-law can film a television drama and describe your story. After everyone watches it, they will naturally understand this kind of thing. At that time, you can take the opportunity to tell the truth. The public will accept it very well.”
“That’s indeed a solution.” Jiang An’s eyes lit up.
Zou Fei smiled and said, “Don’t underestimate the influence of television dramas. Any other ideas might not even be comparable to a television drama even if you rack your brains.”
