My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1180 This Girl (Part 4)

"Does she have a daughter?!"

Zhang You asked in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Wang Yu, like Li Xiaohong, seemed to only have one son. How come a daughter suddenly appeared? Before Jiang Yiren could speak, Zhang You pressed, "She's also been divorced once... That doesn't make sense! If she really was divorced, her daughter should be older than her son. At that age, would she still need to practice piano?!"

"I just adopted one."

She recalled that Li Xiaohong had secretly pulled her aside that night and explained the whole story.

Even Jiang Yiren felt some sympathy for Wang Yu.

While Li Xiaohong's son did suffer investment failures and was scammed twice, he was generally considered relatively normal in other aspects. However, Wang Yu's son... not to mention being gay, he also indulged in such promiscuous behavior.

The thought of those two words made Jiang Yiren feel nauseous.

It's truly hard to imagine that Wang Yu's son, with his delicate and frail appearance, would be so brave in this regard. Giving birth to such a son would be a devastating blow to any mother.

"She's actually quite kind-hearted."

Zhang You praised.

This made him look at Wang Yu with new respect.

"hehe"

Jiang Yiren chuckled twice.

The next morning, Wang Yu actually appeared at his house holding the hand of a five or six-year-old girl. The little girl seemed very shy and quickly hid behind Wang Yu when she saw so many strangers.

"Lanlan, don't be afraid. This is Uncle Zhang, and that's Aunt Jiang."

Wang Yu reached out and rubbed the little girl's head as a reminder.

Perhaps still a little uncomfortable, the little girl didn't call out, but kept holding onto Wang Yu's hand. Wang Yu didn't force her, but instead smiled and said to Zhang You and Jiang Yiren, "My daughter is quite shy, but she'll probably get used to it after a while. Please don't mind."

"fine"

Zhang You smiled and waved his hand.

The little girl wasn't pretty; her skin was rather dark, but she wasn't very thin. Aside from a slight fear in her eyes, she seemed quite nice. Zhang You turned and called upstairs, "Zhang Zishan, Li Ran, a little sister has come to visit. Come down and play with her!"

Hearing Zhang You's shout, the two girls quickly ran downstairs.

Xiao Zishan greeted the girl named Lanlan with a smile, and then a magical scene occurred: the girl actually smiled back at Xiao Zishan and then walked over to her.

"Zhang You, your wife told you, didn't she?"

Watching the little girl she had adopted being led upstairs by Xiao Zishan and Li Ran, Wang Yu looked away. Before Zhang You could answer, she spoke again, "A few days ago, I went to the orphanage. This girl was being bullied by a seven or eight-year-old girl. I originally wanted to hug her, but the director of the orphanage stopped me. She said I hadn't decided to adopt, and I shouldn't hug these children rashly, because it would make them dependent and difficult to raise later. I thought about it and she was right. After all, there are so many children, how could I possibly hug them all? Later, I thought about it, and since that's the case, I might as well choose this girl. Orphanages are definitely not places I should go. I've always thought I'm a pretty hard-hearted person, but after going there, my heart felt like it was being stabbed by sharp scissors. But I..." After a slight hesitation, Wang Yu continued, "I did consider adopting two more, but I'm afraid... There's no financial pressure, it's just that I'm over fifty this year. I didn't think about this before, but now I realize I should have done it sooner. My biggest fear is that if my husband and I die prematurely, my son won't be able to take care of so many younger sisters. So we only adopted one. However, Li Xiaohong seemed quite interested last night, and I think she'll probably adopt. If she does, it'll be a good deed, mainly because her own children aren't very capable, so we should give other children a chance."

Zhang You did not interrupt Wang Yu.

He knew that the woman was only saying all this to gain his favor with the girl named Lanlan by playing the victim.

These older women love to play the emotional card.

After Wang Yu finished speaking, Zhang You thought for a moment and then said, "If you want to send this little girl over to play with Zhang Zishan and Li Ran, I'd be happy to oblige, and I can even guarantee she won't suffer any mistreatment. But if you want me to take her on as a disciple, I can't agree to that. If you want to cultivate her interests and hobbies, you can find her an extracurricular class. I think with your financial situation, you can afford even the best teacher."

"That's one reason, and another is that you have a lot of family members."

Wang Yu had anticipated Zhang Youhui's refusal.

The fact that Tan Yao wanted Zhang You to take her daughter in had already spread throughout the industry. It was even said that Zhang You could name his price, but Zhang You still refused. However, she is not Tan Yao.

Given Zhang You's assets, no matter how high the price offered, it wouldn't sway him. But people are all made of flesh and blood; if money is useless, then let's talk about feelings.

So Wang Yu spoke directly, "You've seen the little girl's situation. She's extremely timid and insecure, very quiet at home, and extremely sensitive. To put it bluntly, she's pretty much like the old Li Ran."

"Li Ran is not like that."

Zhang You retorted.

Although Li Ran lacked parental love, her aunt Li Xin had always taken good care of her. Apart from being a little quiet, she hadn't shown any other signs of this.

Especially recently, I don't know if it's because he's been raising her too well, or if he, as her master, has filled the void of fatherly love she needs, but this girl has become more and more lively.

They sometimes crack jokes too.

"Last night I was chasing after Xiao Zishan backstage, trying to force her to go on stage and sing, saying that if she sang, Xu Qingya's fans would all be scared away."

As she spoke, Wang Yu couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Anyway, the fact that you can take such good care of Li Ran proves that you're quite skilled at raising children, so I figured whether you teach two or three, it's all the same."

Before Zhang You could refuse again, Wang Yu pointed to a villa in front and said, "Xu Qingya wants to buy that one. The price has been agreed upon. I'll take her to complete the transfer this afternoon, and I'll deliver it tonight. You can help teach her... I know this is a bit of a stretch, and I don't dare to force you. Just have Lanlan stand by and listen; that should be fine! Also, let her play with Xiao Zishan and Li Ran. Spending more time with children will make her more lively."

"..."

Jiang Yiren stared at Wang Yu in astonishment.

Xu Qingya actually bled so much blood because of this girl.

Zhang You frowned. This woman had a good plan. She let Xu Qingya live next to his house so that she could build a better relationship with him, her older brother, and also send this girl named Lanlan over at night.

Waiting to be taught... saying he should stand aside and listen is clearly an insult to Zhang You!
