Chapter 14: Adopting Xiaoman
"She didn't lie to me."
After listening to Chunhua's report, Xu Yan was sad and happy. Sadly, Xiaoman was separated from his parents at a young age, and his life was too bitter, but he was glad that this child was innocent and honest, and he was also close to himself, and what he said to himself did not lie to her at all.
"You go down first."
Xu Yan sat quietly in the room alone, she wanted to adopt Xiaoman, but she was afraid that it would be a little abrupt for her to come directly to the door, how could she have a solution for both worlds?
She kept thinking, thinking, and didn't even notice that it was getting dark.
Knowing that Lin Shen walked into the room, he saw his wife sitting on the bed, frowning, sighing, and thinking that he was angry when he dealt with the next person in the afternoon, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Madam, why do you bother yourself by being like those subordinates?"
Startled by the sudden voice, Xu Yan saw Lin Shen in the room.
"When did you come back? Isn't it time for dinner? ”
Their son is still studying in the academy in the capital, and now there are only Lin Shen and his wife and Mrs. Lin in the house for dinner.
"Don't worry about anything by yourself, tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."
Since returning to Xunyang City, Lin Shen didn't know what his mother did, and he didn't stop it, but he wanted to use his mother's hand to test Xu Yan's attitude towards his concubine, there was only one Xu Yan and one woman in the room, and in the end, Lin Shen was unwilling.
It's just that Xu Yan's actions today made Lin Shen wake up from the chaos, he can have today's achievements, and the Lin family can become today's Lin family, all because of the help of the Xu family, if he really annoys Xu Yan, let alone him, I'm afraid the entire Lin family will not have good fruits to eat.
Compared with women and identity careers, Lin Shen, like most men, chose identity and career. Moreover, after marrying herself for so many years, Xu Yan did not make any mistakes except that she was not allowed to take a concubine.
No matter what way he said it, he had to coax Xu Yan when he saw that he was unhappy.
It's a pity that Lin Shen overestimated his status in Xu Yan's heart.
When Xu Yan finished talking to Lin Shen about the things that were tangled in her heart, Lin Shen panicked for herself, but her face remained the same gentleness, and she said with a smile,
"Since Madame has already seen that Xiaoman listens to another little boy, why don't you go and talk to him directly? If he really wants Xiaoman's good, he will naturally agree with Mrs. to adopt Xiaoman, if he doesn't agree, he will be jealous that Xiaoman has such a good place, Mrs. can directly let Xiaoman know what the face of the person she has always trusted is, wouldn't it be better? ”
Xu Yan has been thinking about how to tell Xiaoman, and she did ignore the other boy, that is, Zhang Tao.
The next day, Zhang Tao just walked out of the house with a bamboo basket on his back, and was stopped by a maid, and when he looked at it, he found that it was the maid next to the lady yesterday, and he was very surprised.
"You're looking for me?"
"My wife has something to talk to the little boy." Chunhua is a first-class maid in the Lin Mansion, although she doesn't know what her wife is looking for Zhang Tao for, but she also gives Zhang Tao enough respect.
"I'm a poor family, I can't afford a little boy, what is your wife looking for me?"
Having said that, Zhang Tao had to admit that Chunhua's words made him feel respected and made him feel very comfortable, but the words he didn't want to see turned a corner at the end.
"Madame's business, the slave doesn't dare to ask, Madame is over there, and I invite the little boy to come with me."
Chunhua led the way in front, and Zhang Tao followed behind with a bamboo basket on his back, whistling as he walked.
"What is Madame looking for me? It can't be for Xiaoman, right? ”
If you want to say that she has anything to do with Mrs. Lin, then only Xiaoman saved her yesterday, and now she comes to herself except because of Xiaoman's matter, Zhang Tao doesn't think twice at all.
"You're a smart kid."
Mrs. Lin was also looking at Zhang Tao in front of her, she was not very old but very clever, and she was full of vigilance against people and things, maybe because she had been abducted and trafficked once, it was difficult to trust others.
"It's okay, if Madame has anything to say, I'll have to go into the mountains to take mushrooms in a while, time is precious."
Only one night later, this lady came to the door, and she must have investigated herself and Xiaoman clearly. The social experience of the previous life told Zhang Tao that people only have money and status, and many things are really easy, such as knowing everything about another person.
"I want to adopt Xiaoman, do you agree?"
To be honest, Mrs. Lin didn't take Zhang Tao in her eyes, she was just a seven or eight-year-old child, but in order to leave a good impression on Xiaoman, she had to do things in such a roundabout way.
Mrs. Lin's words made Zhang Tao pause, which was indeed beyond her expectations, but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tao adjusted her mentality.
"Madame is really joking, if you want to adopt Xiaoman, you naturally want to ask Xiaoman, what's the use of asking me? I'm not one of hers. ”
Zhang Tao's words are right, Xiaoman is dependent on herself and Li Chengshou, she does not deny it, but Xiaoman is a complete and free individual, whether she accepts to be adopted is only she can decide, where is the turn of someone else to decide.
"Are you against that?" Mrs. Lin asked again.
