I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 286: Only One Godfather, Many Godmothers
Zhu Wenxiong walked over hurriedly, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

Seeing this, Zhu Wanfang hurriedly got up to pour him a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Zhu Wenxiong took the teacup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then took a few deep breaths to calm his rapid breathing.

Then he continued, "Mr. Shen, thank you so much for your help last time. I was too blind to recognize you and didn't treat you well...but recently those hooligans have started to cause trouble for my daughter again, so..."

Before he could finish his words, Le Huizhen couldn't help but frown and interrupted, "So you're planning on having your daughter find him as her godfather? Finding a godfather is no small matter!"

Facing Le Huizhen's questioning, Zhu Wenxiong quickly showed an extremely sincere expression.

He nodded and replied, "Mr. Shen is a man of dignified appearance. He is a man full of justice and love. If my daughter is lucky enough to have him as her godfather, she will surely learn a lot of useful knowledge and skills and grow up to be a person who can contribute to society!"

In fact, there are two crucial reasons why Zhu Wenxiong came up with the idea of ​​letting his daughter find Shen Lang as her godfather.

One of them was that Xiaosha, who had caused him trouble before, suddenly died mysteriously, and his death was extremely strange - his head had actually turned a whole circle!
This incident has always left Zhu Wenxiong with lingering fears.

The second reason was that he saw reports about Shen Lang on TV, and it was a double report from the TV station and the public relations department.

These reports were enough for Zhu Wenxiong to roughly guess that this was a golden thigh.

In addition, he learned from Zhu Wanfang that she still kept Shen Lang's contact information. After careful consideration, he decided to let his daughter contact Shen Lang.

Since a butcher like me cannot protect my daughter, I can only find another person to support her so that she can be safe.

Otherwise, if those thugs come to her house again, or if she provokes the underworld, it will be a big trouble.

From the perspective of numerology, paying respects to one's ancestors is actually a way to improve one's fortune.

But the process of accepting a contracted girl is actually very strict. She has to go through various tests. Only if she is found to have reliable character can she be accepted, just like accepting an apprentice.

After the decision is made, there must be a formal ceremony, inviting friends from all over to witness it and make the announcement widely known.

Then he announced in public that he had officially adopted her as his adopted daughter, and the two became "father and daughter" according to the traditional ceremony.

The goddaughter kneels down to pour tea, and then the father and daughter exchange gifts. If the godfather is rich and powerful, he will usually give her a golden bowl and chopsticks, symbolizing a golden rice bowl in the future.

Even if the relationship between godfather and goddaughter has changed, as long as this fig leaf remains, others cannot criticize their inappropriate behavior.

"Old Zhu, I didn't expect that I hid it so deeply, but you could still find out." Shen Lang laughed.

Zhu Wenxiong said sincerely, "Mr. Shen is a man of great bearing and knowledge. I believe that any normal person can see that. If my daughter can learn even a little bit, it will be a glory for my Zhu family ancestors."

"Old Zhu, since you are so sincere, and I think Wanfang is smart, I will adopt her as my goddaughter." Shen Lang made the decision immediately.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wenxiong was overjoyed and quickly said to Zhu Wanfang, "Afang, why don't you kneel down and worship your godfather?"

Although it has not been widely publicized, he plans to have a ceremony first to prevent others from doing it on a whim and then denying it.

Kowtow and change of address are common rituals of "adopting godparents". As long as the child formally kowtows three times to the godfather and godmother and changes his or her address to call them godfather and godmother, the ceremony is considered complete.

After Zhu Wanfang experienced the incident of leading people to block the school gate, she gradually realized the reality of this society.

He immediately knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times respectfully.

He poured another cup of tea, handed it to Shen Lang, and said respectfully, "Master, please have some tea."

"Good adopted daughter." Shen Lang took the teacup and took out two gold pieces from his pocket. "My adopted master has nothing and came in a hurry. Take these two gold pieces and make a set of golden bowls and chopsticks."

When Zhu Wenxiong saw the gold he took out, his eyes almost popped out.

Although I already knew that this was a golden thigh, I didn’t expect it to be so big.

Every move is gold.

Zhu Wanfang was also stunned.

Both father and daughter felt a little dizzy for a moment.

After a while, Zhu Wenxiong came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Afang, why don't you thank your godfather quickly?"

"Thank you, godfather." Zhu Wanfang said.

Shen Lang nodded, "Get up."

Then he looked at Le Huizhen and said, "I adopted a daughter today, don't you want to express your gratitude?"

Le Huizhen thought for a moment, then took off the watch from her wrist and handed it to him. "I was in a hurry too, so please take this watch."

"I can't accept it for now. I haven't changed my mind yet." Zhu Wenxiong said hurriedly, "Wanfang, kowtow to your godmother and change your mind first."

Zhu Wanfang knelt down and kowtowed, poured a cup of tea for Le Huizhen, and said respectfully, "Godmother, please have some tea."

"Then I'll drink it." Le Huizhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued, "But you still have a lot of godmothers, so you will definitely have to kowtow a lot when the time comes."

Although the ceremony was simple, it was considered a successful one.

Zhu Wenxiong smiled and poured two cups of tea. "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, I'm a rough man. I don't know how to say some things, and I don't know much about etiquette. Please forgive me. Please have some tea, and then we can go have a small gathering."

He didn't know whether he could successfully visit the bride today, so he didn't even prepare a decent gift.

Now that the ceremony is complete, we need to find a place to eat first and then prepare gifts to honor our godparents.

But considering the disparity in status between the two parties, he was still very polite in his address.

Shen Lang was too lazy to correct it because his strength and status were there.

"I didn't expect to adopt a daughter today. I'm so happy." Shen Lang said, "Let's go to Fulinmen for dinner together."

Hearing this, Zhu Wenxiong almost fell down.

Because the cost of living there was beyond his reach.

I couldn't help but secretly worry about my wallet.

Shen Lang added, "Is there anyone else at home? Let's invite them all to dinner and have a great time."

"My mother is still at home." Zhu Wanfang said immediately.

"Then go pick up your mommy, and then go eat together." Shen Lang said, "Let's go."

Four people, two cars, went to Kowloon Walled City to pick up Zhu Wenxiong's wife.

This place is very famous.

Moreover, some of the migrant workers who came to Hong Kong to make a fortune would live here in the early stages, and even go to this place when they wanted to escape.

Because this place is full of good and bad people, it is difficult for the police to enter.

Although the government began demolition work several years ago and compensated the residents, there was still strong resistance to the demolition, so the Zhu family still lived in this place. The car was parked outside.

Zhu's father and daughter went back to call for help.

Le Huizhen got out of the car and took a look around Kowloon Walled City, then turned to look at Shen Lang, "Why did you think of taking her in as your adopted daughter?"

"Isn't this what you mean by helping someone? If I don't adopt her as my adopted daughter, how else can I help her?" Shen Lang asked, "Do I have to volunteer every few days to help her deal with those thugs?"

Le Huizhen asked again, "So what are you going to do? Now that you've adopted her as your adopted daughter, you're not really going to just leave her alone, are you?"

"Just find her a new school and enroll her there," Shen Lang said. "Those prestigious schools may have their share of scoundrels, but it's still better than the old one."

"That's a good idea." Le Huizhen nodded.

The two waited for about ten minutes.

The three members of the Zhu family came down.

Zhu Wenxiong introduced: "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, this is my wife."

"Hello, Mrs. Zhu." Yue Huizhen greeted with a smile, "Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mrs. Shen." Mrs. Zhu responded very stiffly, and then greeted Shen Lang: "Hello, Mr. Shen, thank you for accepting Afang as your goddaughter."

Shen Lang said: "Get in the car first, let's go eat."

A few people arrived at Fulinmen and ordered most of the dishes on the table.

Shen Lang added, "Since Ah Fang has chosen me as her godfather, I can't let those scoundrels continue to bully her. I just discussed this with Ah Zhen and plan to find a good school for Ah Fang."

"Ah?" The three members of the Zhu family were stunned for a moment.

Zhu Wenxiong murmured, "Find a good school? Of course, we can, but we..."

He really couldn't bring himself to say it. If he had money, Zhu Wanfang wouldn't have to study in that school.

"Yes, Mr. Shen, although Afang was bullied in that school, she still had an education," Mrs. Zhu said. "If she went to another school, we really couldn't afford it."

"She's my adopted daughter now, so don't worry about the money." Shen Lang said nonchalantly, "Even if it's only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars a year, it's just a drop in the bucket. I'll ask her adopted mother to help find a school tomorrow."

Zhu Wenxiong and his wife looked at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes.

This golden thigh is really big.

He hurriedly said, "Afang, why don't you thank your godparents?"

"Thank you, godfather and godmother." Zhu Wanfang said respectfully.

Shen Lang added, "Since you're changing schools, living in your old place won't work, so why don't you just live with me? The environment is quiet, which is good for studying."

"Uh, this..."

"Mr. Shen, is this too much trouble?"

Shen Lang said, "It's settled. Come, let's eat first. I'll take Afang to my place to get familiar with it. You guys can go home first."

He informed the Zhu couple instead of discussing it with them.

The Zhu couple were stunned and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

During the meal, Le Huizhen and Zhu Wanfang talked more, because Shen Lang didn't know what topic to talk about.

When dealing with young girls like this, he is only good at making noises.

After dinner, I called a taxi for the Zhu couple and took them home.

He also took Zhu Wanfang to buy some daily necessities.

Then returned to the villa in Repulse Bay.

When Liu Piaopiao saw the two of them bringing back a young girl, she asked in confusion, "Who is she?"

"She's Zhu Wanfang, the goddaughter my husband adopted today. Take her upstairs and find her a room to stay in," Le Huizhen said. "Afang, this is your other godmother, Liu Piaopiao."

Zhu Wanfang hurriedly said, "Hello, godmother."

"Goddaughter?" Liu Piaopiao was a little suspicious.

Because Shen Lang usually likes her to call him dad.

Moreover, this girl looked pretty, so she must have had some thoughts in mind.

She didn't ask too much and said, "Since you're here, I'll take you upstairs."

Zhu Wanfang had never been to such a luxurious villa before, and she seemed very reserved and cautious.

I was secretly wondering about the background of this godfather.

Take a shower and change into clean clothes first.

When I went downstairs again, I found a few more women.

Zhu Wanfang was secretly surprised, and immediately thought of the godmother that Le Huizhen mentioned.

Are these women all godmothers?

When Le Huizhen saw her, she waved her over and said, "You look more elegant after changing your clothes. Let me introduce you. This is Tang Xin, this is Ah Feng, this is Fei Fei, and this is Jie Qian. They are all your godmothers. And this Mrs. Liu, if nothing unexpected happens, she will also be your godmother."

Before he could finish his words, Long Jiu, with short hair and an expressionless face, appeared at the door.

Le Huizhen added, "That's Long Jiu, your godmother."

After getting the confirmation, Zhu Wanfang was really shocked and hurriedly greeted everyone one by one.

There is only one godfather, but a lot of godmothers.

When they learned that she was Shen Lang's newly adopted daughter, everyone had different expressions.

Another little lamb about to be sent into the tiger's mouth.

Long Jiu stepped in, nodded casually to the others as a greeting, and then said to Shen Lang, "Come upstairs, I have something to tell you."

After the two of them went upstairs together, Shen Lang asked, "What do you want to talk to me about? Are you itchy?"
