Chapter 218: He'd Rather Have Someone Else's Child Than Me
"After thinking about it, I want him. ”
Yan Ziqi's eyes were full of determination, to be honest, Ji Hangcheng rarely saw her like this.
"Okay!
Ji Hangcheng said that as long as Yan Ziqi likes it, he will definitely support it, and love the house and Wu.
"But, Chairman Ji, this little hairy head is really bad, he was abandoned, and he had already had an operation in the hospital when he came to our orphanage. The doctor said that he might need treatment in the future, don't you really have to think about it again?"
The dean lobbied hard, "If you don't like the kid I recommended to you, you can choose something else." ”
"No need, I just want him, is it your orphanage that this child is not allowed to be adopted?"
In the face of the dean's lobbying, Yan Ziqi was unmoved, and even she began to be a little impatient.
"It's... No, our institution treats every child fairly. ”
Fair?
Yan Ziqi laughed out loud in his heart, but on this occasion, everyone is also an adult, and there is no point in saying some things.
"Okay, then him, what about the formalities?"
"This..."
The dean glanced at Ji Hangcheng with some embarrassment, and the meaning of that look was to persuade him to think about it.
"Where to go through the formalities. ”
Who knows, Ji Hangcheng not only did not be rebelled, but became more determined than before, and the dean knew that today's matter seemed to be no fun.
"Then please ask Chairman Ji and his wife and me to go to the office on the third floor to go through the adoption procedures. ”
As soon as the dean's voice fell, Yan Ziqi turned his head to Ji Hangcheng and said, "You go, I'll go see this child." ”
Of course, Yan Ziqi knew that there was something wrong with this child, and during the conversation with them, he only cared about digging sand by himself, as if he didn't have any sense of his surroundings.
Watching the cranial nerves of this child's face period being stimulated, she thought of the days when she was depressed, maybe it was touching the scene, or empathizing, in short, a certain piece of softness in her heart was touched, so that she had to adopt this child.
Yan Ziqi walked towards Xiao Maotou, she squatted down beside him, "Hello, baby, can you tell me what your name is?"
Yan Ziqi's voice was gentle, and she seemed to naturally enter the state of being wrapped in maternal love all over her body.
“...”
Xiao Maotou didn't speak, he was holding a sand digging shovel, and his round little eyes looked at Yan Ziqi directly.
"Would you like to go home with me?"
After asking the name to no avail, Yan Ziqi asked other questions.
This time Xiao Maotou did say something, he looked at Yan Ziqi and nodded, threw away the sand shovel in his hand and reached out to hug her neck.
When the two of them were pulled in, tears poured out in Yan Ziqi's eyes instantly, and she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart and hugged him tightly?
Yan Ziqi felt that the little hairy head in his arms was like she and Ji Hangcheng had come back, and suddenly her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she was filled with all kinds of emotions.
"Baby~Baby~"
When Ji Hangcheng went downstairs after completing the adoption procedures, he saw such a warm and tear-jerking scene, he knew that Yan Ziqi was thinking about the child, and he also knew that now she had put all her sustenance on the current little hairy head.
*
Yan Ziqi and Ji Hangcheng led Xiao Maotou home, because he couldn't say his name, so they gave him a name called "Nian Nian".
Since neither of them had any experience with children, Ji Hangcheng invited a sister-in-law to come back, but even if someone helped him, Yan Ziqi insisted on doing a lot of things himself.
Like this moment, Yan Ziqi is learning how to bathe Niannian with her sister-in-law.
"Madam, in fact, the one-year-old child's bones are relatively tough, so when we bathe him, we will wash them directly in the bathtub. However, it is important not to let water run into your ears and eyes when washing your hair, as the water can be infected with bacteria, and it will be very troublesome in case the child is too young for otitis media or conjunctivitis. ”
Yan Ziqi listened carefully, "Let me try." ”
She took Niannian from her sister-in-law, and she had a hard time taking off her clothes.
One is that I have never been in contact with such a young child, and the other is that I just wrote down all the key points that my sister-in-law said, but I almost forgot it in an instant.
Yan Ziqi held Niannian, and the expression on his face was not quite right.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
The sister-in-law gently reminded.
Yan Ziqi shook her head, and just as she was about to put her hand into the bathtub to get the towel, Ji Hangcheng, who had been silent beside her, walked over.
"Let's come, there is a difference between men and women, it's Dad's business to help the boy take a bath, you go and take a rest." ”
Of course, Ji Hangcheng saw Yan Ziqi's embarrassment, but in order to make her sad, he deliberately found such an excuse.
"You... Ji Hangcheng, are you okay?"
Ji Hangcheng is a very valuable person, how could he do such a thing.
"Why can't it be? Isn't it just a bath, I can learn even if I can't. Eh, I said Yan Zi Period, Yan Zi Period, you also underestimate your husband. ”
After Ji Hangcheng finished speaking, his index finger was slightly bent and scratched Yan Ziqi's nose.
"Okay, give me the child, I will take care of life in the future, if I don't have time, you can hand it over to Auntie, Yan Ziqi, don't be too tired." ”
Ji Hangcheng must be distressed by Yan Ziqi, he used to be disdainful of her, but now it's the other way around, and now he can't wait to hold her in the palm of his hand.
Hearing the conversation between Ji Hangcheng and Yan Ziqi, the sister-in-law couldn't help but interject, "Mr. and Mrs. are really in love." ”
"Thank you. ”
Yan Ziqi replied with a blush, she handed over Niannian to Ji Hangcheng, not to mention that he was quite handy, and his sister-in-law just gave him a little guidance, and he washed it fluently.
After taking a bath, they dressed Nian Nian together, blew her hair, and changed into clean and beautiful clothes.
Looking at the beautiful boy sitting on the bed holding a bottle and drinking milk, Yan Ziqi couldn't help but think of his child again.
She regretted it, she really regretted it, she should have given birth to that child no matter what, she had no way to understand Lu Juan before, but now she has become more understanding than anyone else.
Yan Ziqi's tears flowed out without warning, and Ji Hangcheng sighed softly when he saw this, then hugged her in his arms and said nothing.
As the bottle bottomed out, Niannian's energy was exhausted after sucking the last drop of milk, and he fell asleep holding the bottle...
"Sleepy?"
Yan Ziqi deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking up the little person on the bed...
"Well, sleep, let's go out. ”
Ji Hangcheng let go of Yan Ziqi, he walked to the bed, pulled the bottle out of Nian Nian's hand, covered the quilt for him, then turned off the light and gently brought the door to the door.
Suddenly having one more person in the family will not be able to adapt so quickly for a while, but it feels good to be a parent.
Yan Ziqi sat on the sofa, holding the pillow and pulling Ji Hangcheng with emotion, "I think I was really wrong, I shouldn't have taken out that child, what did you say I thought at that time!"
Yan Ziqi's delicate eyebrows were frowned together, and her hands were tugging at the decorations on the pillow.
“...”
When Ji Hangcheng heard this, he came to Yan Ziqi's side, he held her in his arms and comforted her gently: "Period, you are not wrong, I have made mistakes every time since we were together." Don't think about that incident in the future, because we have a new life. People can't live in the past forever, they have to try to come out, otherwise they really won't be able to live. "Tomb robbing
Ji Hangcheng is like this now, some time ago, he often regretted why he touched Lu Juan, why he made her have Mianmian, why he couldn't just love Yan Ziqi wholeheartedly.
It was because of this remorse that he fell deeper and deeper and couldn't extricate himself.
Later, he figured out that life is like this, as long as life is still there, as long as you get the people you want, as long as the life goes on, don't think about those bad things anymore, otherwise you will be trapped and locked in the haze for the rest of your life.
"Period, I don't have any other wishes, I just want to be with you, happy every day, now that we have children, as parents, life has entered a new stage, let's not dwell in the past, okay?"
Ji Hangcheng tirelessly comforted Yan Ziqi over and over again, and finally resolved her heart knot.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. ”
"Well, it's very good, okay, go to bed early, I'll help Nian Nian get a household tomorrow." ”
Ji Hangcheng is really interested in this child, and he does everything himself, but when he goes to Mianmian, he is obviously his biological father, but he seems to be a stranger as if he has never known him.
*
Recently, Mianmian has been quite safe with Dong Li, Lan Xiaotian will go to talk to her from time to time, and she will be patient and enlightened when she has depression in her heart.
Today is the weekend, Lan Xiaotian came to see Mianmian again, and at this time they were doing crafts together in the study.
"Aunt Xiaotian, my dad brought a little brother home. ”
Mianmian's words made Lan Xiaotian's movements suddenly stop, and she raised her head incredulously, "Mianmian, what did you say?"
"I said that my father brought other children home, Aunt Xiaotian, do you think he hates me very much, and would rather have other children than me?"
What Mianmian said made Lan Xiaotian feel sad for a while, she felt that this kind of thing should not come from a child's mouth at all.
"No, Mianmian, maybe... Maybe..."
Lan Xiaotian tried very hard to make excuses for Ji Hangcheng, but unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of the most suitable words.
"Maybe what? No, Aunt Xiaotian, I know that I went downstairs that day and heard them talking about it, you know? Actually, I didn't really feel it at all, because I knew he didn't like me when I was very young. ”
Lan Xiaotian looked at the continuous eyes, she felt that the pair of black pupils were as deep as a pool of stagnant water without waves, this should not be what a child should be.
"No, Mianmian, there may be some misunderstanding here, I think your father is really good to you. ”
Lan Xiaotian, as a psychiatrist, can't fight Mianmian, even if maybe the truth of the truth is cruel, they should also try to let those who are psychologically gloomy see the beautiful and positive side of the world.
To put it simply, the psychiatrist is the last straw for the patient, if even they have no way to redeem and bring sunshine to those who are unhappy, then there may really be no reason to support life in this world.
"Mianmian, look at how good it is now, you live with your grandmother, you can go to school in the future, you can meet many, many friends. Also, when you grow up, you can do many, many things that you enjoy, and that's great. ”
Mianmian didn't know, and she didn't want to know.
After being silent for a while, Mianmian tried to squeeze out a smile at Lan Xiaotian, "Aunt Xiaotian, thank you, you are the only person in this world other than my mother who is really good to me." Don't worry, I won't be sad anymore, I won't make trouble anymore, I'll tell you a secret secret, my mother came back last night, and she told me to live well, to live strongly. ”
Mother?
Listening to Mianmian's words, looking at her pale and calm face, Lan Xiaotian felt a chill rise up her spine, which made her shiver.
Lan Xiaotian held Mianmian's hand, as if he wanted to transfer all the energy in his body to her, and said:
"Mianmian, promise me, you must get better, okay?"
"Yes, I will, even if no one likes me, I like myself. ”
The more Mianmian showed calm and relieved, the more Lan Xiaotian felt panicked, from her professional point of view, she felt that she had entered a worse stage, if it was depression with emotional eruptions before, then now she is deeply autistic, and she locked herself up.
Later, Lan Xiaotian chatted with Mianmian for a long time, and she took the trouble to patiently enlighten her over and over again, until Mianmian fell asleep and Lan Xiaotian left.
When I came out of the room, I could hear the quiet pin drop in the whole villa, and it was difficult to find a trace of home in this home except for the cold furniture.
Lan Xiaotian thought that although Mianmian returned to her grandmother, it was not much better, if she continued to grow up in such an ignorant environment, maybe one day she would finally embark on that road of no return.
Lan Xiaotian struggled very inwardly, according to common sense, she was no longer a psychiatrist, and she shouldn't be so nosy.
But if she really turned a blind eye, then her conscience seemed to be incompatible, after all, she had lived with Mianmian for a while, and she couldn't just watch her walk towards the cliff.
Lan Xiaotian is now like standing at a crossroads, swaying from side to side, not knowing which way to go.
She held on to the stairs and walked down slowly, and just when she had the last few steps left, she suddenly heard the sound of two people talking from a room on the first floor, and vaguely she seemed to hear the words "Young Master of the Ji Family".
I don't know why, Lan Xiaotian just stopped, she felt that the conversation between the two people was like a powerful whirlpool that attracted her in.
Lan Xiaotian tiptoed to find a place that was relatively not so easy to find, and then she listened to the conversation between the two people without any scruples.
"Eh, I said that what you just said was true or false, what did the young master of the Ji family think, let his own daughter go, but go to the orphanage to adopt, oh yo, what do the people in this city think. ”
This voice Lan Xiaotian recognized that it was the Ji family's nanny, and she seemed to be taking care of Mianmian.
"Really, I heard my wife and Miss Cheng say it with my own ears when I was cleaning in the study the day before yesterday, and you didn't know how ugly our wife's face was, let alone how ugly it was. ”
Now that she is speaking, Lan Xiaotian also knows that she is the Ji family's backbone nanny Zhang Ma, generally speaking, people with this status will not easily hearsay, and if they can stay for so long, they should be a somewhat measured person.
When Lan Xiaotian heard the news, in addition to being puzzled, he also felt a little angry, what the hell is going on with this Ji Hangcheng, his daughter is in such a bad situation now, why does he have to go to the orphanage to adopt other people's children.
Why is that?
Lan Xiaotian and the nanny had the same question, and she was also waiting for Zhang's mother's answer.
"Sister, tell me quickly, I'm curious. ”
The nanny's urging voice came into Lan Xiaotian's ears.
"Curious about what, isn't this obvious, she won't give birth to Hangcheng's daughter-in-law, but she likes children, so Hangcheng will adopt her. You may still not know very well when you first came, Mianmian's mother, except for the old chairman in our family, no one likes her. On the contrary, it is his daughter-in-law now, who is simply holding it in the palm of his hand for fear that she will be hurt. ”
Zhang's mother didn't say much, she just picked up the key words.
"Ah, that's right, this young master of the Ji family loves that woman so much. ”
"It's not, love can't work, there is one more thing you may not know, Hangcheng's current daughter-in-law, she turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the illegitimate son of the old chairman. ”
"The eldest brother married the younger daughter-in-law?"
Apparently the gossip nanny was as excited as if she had opened Pandora's box, catching something and asking something.
"Well, that's what it means. Okay, okay, I won't say more to you, my wife hates people who chew the root of her tongue at home, and I said so much more to you today because she was not there. Do you remember that if you want to continue in this family, you have to learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb, you know? We really don't understand the rich world, so we listen to it as a story. ”
Zhang's mother is an old man in the end, and she knows that it is enough to stop, and she will not be like a little broken-mouthed, forced to chatter, endlessly.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say it. ”
"Well, you'll see if the psychiatrist is gone. ”
"Good. ”
Hearing that their conversation was over, Lan Xiaotian hurriedly ran back to the stairs, she deliberately made a little noise, as if she had just come out of Mianmian.
Sure enough, when they heard the voice, Zhang's mother and the nanny came out, and they looked at Lan Xiaotian respectfully and asked, "Is Doctor Lan leaving?"
"Yes, Mianmian slept. ”
"Oh, okay, you go slowly. Zhang's mother said politely.
"Thank you and goodbye. ”
"Goodbye. ”
On the way back, in the taxi, Lan Xiaotian kept thinking about what he heard just now, so Mianmian didn't lie, Ji Hangcheng really would rather have other children than her.
Thinking of this, Mianmian's face full of gloom appeared in Lan Xiaotian's mind again, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't sit idly by, so she quickly sat up straight and said to the taxi master: "Master, please take me to the Ji Group!"
