Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 482 Bizarre Request
"What did you say?" Qin Wenze thought he had misheard.

Gao Lan stared into his eyes and repeated what she had just said.

“I want to adopt my nephew. Your Qin family owes me a child. Since I can’t have children, I can’t be without support.”

Qin Wenze found it hard to process the news.

He thought Gao Lan had gone mad.

So he tried to reason with her, saying, "Qin Yue and Qiaoqiao are your support—"

But Gao Lan wouldn't listen to that.

“They are your support, not mine. No matter how well I, as their stepmother, behave, they will never be on my side. Besides, all I want now is a child who is related to me by blood.”

Her elder brother's child is her own nephew—so they are related by blood.

"Don't worry, as long as you agree to this, I will no longer hold Qin Yue accountable for hitting me. From now on, I will treat the two siblings as my own children."

Qin Wenze stared at her for a long while before finally saying, "Gao Lan, this won't work. I don't agree—"

He already has two children, so why would he adopt another one?
And he's also the son of the eldest brother-in-law.

"If you don't agree, then I don't want to live anymore. Anyway, I can't have children, so there's no point in living."

Gao Lan's words made Qin Wenze's face turn extremely dark.

He took a deep breath and then compromised, saying, "If you really want to adopt a child, then adopt someone else's—your older brother's child, no way."

Gao Lan looked at him in disbelief.

"Why not? Are you looking down on my brother from my maternal family?"

Qin Wenze frowned.

“I don’t look down on him. Your older brother only has two sons. They don’t need to send their sons to our house. Aren’t you separating their family? Besides, this involves relatives. Will the family be peaceful after this?”

“My older brother and sister-in-law, as well as my parents, have all agreed to this. Moreover, I only want to raise one child who is related to me by blood; otherwise, I will feel insecure.”

Gao Lan's eyes reddened. "You have your own son and daughter, and I'm like this now—shouldn't I adopt a child who would make me feel safe?" Qin Wenze looked at her, his voice much calmer. "We can adopt a newborn—"

"No, I'll adopt my older brother's child. I'll give you a day to think it over. If you don't agree, then you can collect my corpse tomorrow!"

Qin Wenze looked at her resolute eyes.

Headache.

He simply walked out of the ward, left the hospital, and went home.

When Qin's mother saw him return, she asked, "Why are you back? And why do you look like that? Did that Dr. Xie come by?"

Yesterday, I heard my eldest son say that Dr. Xie would be seeing Gao Lan today.

"Dr. Xie came, and the results were the same as the previous doctor's diagnosis. By the way, Mom, Gao Lan—"

Seeing his expression, Qin's mother immediately had a bad feeling.

"What did Gao Lan say?"

"--Gao Lan said she wanted to adopt her older brother's youngest son."

Qin Wenze's words shocked his mother and the two elders of the Qin family who were present.

They never expected Gao Lan to make such a request.

Qin's mother was truly speechless.

I don't know how to talk about this.

"Qin Wenze, first of all, the Qin family has wronged her by not protecting her during her pregnancy. However, the responsibility cannot be placed entirely on your son."

"Qin Yue didn't do it on purpose."
