Chapter 533 Taking a boy along makes you look more prestigious
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan said solemnly, “If your parents really treat Huihui as their own son, it will inevitably affect your interests.”

She paused, then added, "Of course, if you don't mind these things, then it's not a big problem."

“Of course I mind.” Su Su said seriously. “If it were my own brother, I might not think so much about it, but he’s my cousin’s son! What right does he have to take what belongs to me?”

That's right! You absolutely must make your stance clear to your parents!

It's really sad to think about. If Susu were a boy, would her parents still have considered adopting a sister?

I don't know about others, but that's how my parents did it. When they were pregnant with me, they hoped for a daughter, but I was born a son. They were extremely disappointed, so when the two-child policy was implemented, they adopted my younger sister and spoiled her rotten! So, the preference for sons does exist, but it's only a minority.

“Since you mind, you should make your stance clear to your parents before the adoption procedures are completed.” Jiang Yuan’s eyes flickered as she looked at Chen Pi. “Chen Pi, you just said that after your sister video-chatted with your mother, your father and mother discussed Huihui’s matter. What did they say?”

“Meow~” Chen Pi said, “That night after Huihui fell asleep, Mom told Dad…”

"Old Zheng, Susu already knows that Huihui is staying at our house."

Susu's father was reading when he heard this. He closed the book, frowned, and asked, "Why did you tell her? Didn't we say it was a secret?"

"Susu video-called me today, and I happened to hear Huihui's voice," Susu's mother said, feeling wronged. "My daughter asked me, how could I lie to her?"

“I didn’t ask you to lie to her.” Su Su’s father sighed. “So, what was Su Su’s reaction after you told her about Hui Hui?”

“She was quite unhappy, feeling that Huihui shouldn’t be taken care of by us, and asked when my uncle would come to take Huihui away.”

After hearing these words, Su Su's father fell silent.

"Old Zheng, what exactly do you mean?" Su Su's mother sighed. "You can't tell others, but you have to explain it to me, right?"

Su Su's father took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and his eyes became more serious and earnest. "Honey, I've thought about it for a long time. As for Huihui, maybe we should keep him. I'll find an opportunity to explain things to the second child."

"Are you...are you sure?" Su Su's mother frowned deeply, still somewhat worried. "Aren't you afraid that one day, after we've raised Hui Hui to adulthood, the second son and Abang will come and take her back?"

Su Su's father said in a deep voice, "No matter whether they want to go back in the future or not, this child is a member of the Zheng family."

“That’s true, but what about Susu?” Susu’s mother asked with concern. “I’m afraid Susu won’t agree.”

“If Susu doesn’t agree, then we’ll keep it from her for now.” Susu’s father frowned. “Susu spends less time at home now, and she’ll be going to do an internship at the end of the year, so she’ll definitely be focused on her work.”

He paused, then added, "Besides, how do you know Susu disagrees? Maybe she really approves of our decision."

Why would she agree?

"She doesn't have time to spend with us, but we have more children at home to keep us company. Isn't that a good thing? She definitely thinks it's a good thing."

“I don’t think so.” Su Su’s mother said with a serious expression. “Old Zheng, you’d better think this through.”

“I’ve thought it through,” Su Su’s father said stubbornly. “Even if we don’t adopt Huihui, as his uncle, I still have an obligation to help Abang take good care of Huihui.”

The audience was even more shocked after hearing this.

Good heavens, Susu's mom isn't even angry after what her dad said? If my husband dared to meddle like that, I would have knocked him unconscious!

[Are you crazy? Just because someone is an uncle doesn't mean they have this kind of obligation? Seriously, I'm speechless.]

[To be honest, Susu's mom has a lot of problems too. Doesn't she have any opinions of her own? And she's a teacher!] Susu saw the comments criticizing her parents and pursed her lips without refuting them.

Because these words also reflected her inner thoughts.

Why does being an uncle require such a strong sense of responsibility?

Su Su suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, I just remembered that my cousin lived with us for a few years when I was little."

"Several years?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, asking in confusion, "How can you stay for several years?"

"Because my uncle and aunt had to go out to work, they left my cousin with us." Su Su recalled her childhood, feeling annoyed. "How could I have been so slow!"

"what happened?"

"Actually... actually, my dad showed a preference for boys over girls back then, but I didn't realize it. When I grew up, I was even complacent and thought that my parents weren't that kind of people."

"For example, in what situations?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Su Su said in a low voice, "When I was little, my dad had a gathering with his colleagues, the kind where kids could bring their children, but my dad didn't bring me. Instead, he chose to bring my cousin."

"He told me that there were more boys than girls, and that I wouldn't be able to play with them and we wouldn't have anything in common."

Jiang Yuan understood. "Is it because it's more prestigious to bring a boy?"

"Hmm." Su Su lowered her head, her heart feeling as if it had been stabbed by an invisible needle, a dull ache. "Another time, my cousin and I went to the convenience store to buy something. My dad gave me twenty, but gave my cousin fifty."

Damn! Your dad's so clueless!

[I'm really annoyed by this]

[So stingy with his own daughter, yet so generous to his nephew? He must be out of his mind.]

“I was young at the time, and although I was a little unhappy, I didn’t think much of it,” Su Su sighed softly. “Now, when I think back on it, I feel heartbroken.”

“In that case, you should be even more determined to stand your ground,” Jiang Yuan said earnestly. “It would be best to get your mother on your side to secure the greatest possible benefit.”

Yes, your dad is absolutely unreliable. Even if he doesn't say he'll support your cousin's son this time, he'll still be swindled out of money by your uncle and cousin in the future.

[Make your demands of your dad, get the money, and then go as far away as possible!]

Upon seeing this comment, Su Su's eyelashes trembled, and a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes. "Do I have to sever ties with my family?"

"Susu." Jiang Yuan's voice was very soft, and her tone was cautious. "First, ensure your own safety and strive for the benefits that satisfy you. Then, follow your heart and make your own choices."

When it really comes to that point, I believe Susu will have a scale in her heart and know how to weigh the pros and cons.

Su Su looked at the beautiful, porcelain-white figure on the screen, took a deep breath, and nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'll calm down and think about it for a bit. When my parents get home, I'll talk to them about it."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, her eyes filled with laughter. "Susu, good luck."

Su Su suppressed all her disappointment and gloom, and solemnly said, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang. Wait for my good news!"
