84. Adopt a child
Liu Xiaofei's high heels made a "click" sound on the ground, and she paced from one end of the ward to the other, back and forth for half an hour.
"Why don't you let us adopt that child?" Liu Xiaofei couldn't figure it out. "What are we not meeting the criteria?"
"It's that I don't want to adopt." Zhou Yi saw Liu Xiaofei spinning around in front of him, and he couldn't wait to throw her out of the window.
"How many times have I said that adopting a child can create a better image in front of the media......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Yi: "I don't want my children to become a tool for us to make profits." You say that adoption is adoption, and the formalities can be done immediately, so who will raise it? You? ”
Liu Xiaofei walked in front of Zhou Yi, her eyes slightly red due to lack of sleep: "You want to deliberately work against me." ”
Zhou Yi swiped Twitter, didn't even look at her, and said: "It's just my decision, not to mention that our marriage is just a formal marriage." ”
"The point is not whether we get married or not, it's that I've announced that I will adopt this child." Liu Xiaofei tapped the floor with the heels of her high heels, making a rhythmic "da-da" sound. "Are you going to make me lose my trust in front of the public because of such a little emotion?"
"That's your business, it's none of me."
"Zhou Yi!" Liu Xiaofei snatched Zhou Yi's mobile phone: "What do you want to do?" You hold a grudge against my threats, and I have no opinion. But you can't get into a childish tantrum with me in front of this kind of thing. ”
"Okay." Zhou Yi finally set his eyes on Liu Xiaofei, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "You won't not take into account that the child is adopted, who will raise it?" ”
"I have my own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it."
"If you don't give me a satisfactory plan, I won't agree to adopt this child in the name of our husband and wife."
"Aren't my aunts and uncles retired? We took the children and stayed with my aunt and uncle. Liu Xiaofei looked at the time on her watch, "I told them about your injury, they should be on their way here now, almost there." ”
"Who told you to inform them?" Zhou Yi's anger does not come to one place, this woman does not do good things, and it will add chaos.
"Even if I don't inform them, they'll see it on TV. When the time comes, they will blame you and don't tell them anything. ”
"That's my parents, not yours. Why are you making your own claims? ”
"Are you afraid they'll worry about you?"
"They're all getting older, it's time to enjoy them, and I don't want to worry about them." Zhou Yi stretched out his hand, "Give me back the phone." ”
"Then you answer me and let my uncle and aunt help take care of the children, do you agree?"
"Disagree." Zhou Yi answered categorically.
"How can you get the old man to help take care of the children?" As soon as Su Xiaoyu entered the door, he heard Liu Xiaofei's proposal, and he couldn't help but say more. "Xiaofei, you're too ignorant."
"What are you doing here?" Liu Xiaofei and Zhou Yi asked at the same time.
"Xiaofei, I haven't seen you for so long, and I haven't been polite at all."
"Do I know you well?" Liu Xiaofei didn't want to deal with him, seeing him like this was to ruin her good things.
Su Xiaoyu didn't see it, sat on the edge of Zhou Yi's bed, and glanced at his injuries by the way.
"Tut-tut, the gun is very strong at this moment, and a lot of blood has been shed, right?"
"Isn't it disappointing that you didn't die?"
Liu Xiaofei threw the phone back to Zhou Yi: "How can you curse yourself like this?" ”
"Xiaofei, do you want to know how he got hurt?"
"Don't make a mess."
"How did you get hurt?" Liu Xiaofei asked Su Xiaoyu.
"Just to protect that child." Su Xiaoyu was an eyewitness, "So he won't agree to you casually adopting this child and giving him to the old man to raise." ”
Zhou Yi's heart moved, protecting Zhao Ruozhi and the child was actually his instinctive reaction, and at that moment, there was no room for careful thinking, and he subconsciously made a move to protect them. Only afterwards did he secretly rejoice that the shot was on himself, not Zhao Ruozhi or the child.
Recalling Zhao Ruozhi's appearance of holding the child and coaxing him to sleep, the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth couldn't help but rise.
There is another reason why he does not agree to adopt this child with Liu Xiaofei, because he feels that no one is more suitable to be a child's mother than Zhao Ruozhi. If he could, he would prefer to be the child's father and Zhao Ruozhi to be the child's mother.
"Where is the child now?" Zhou Yi asked Su Xiaoyu.
"I just came up downstairs and Katy is awake and the baby is still asleep." Su Xiaoyu said: "Katy, please help me find a good family for the child." Xiaofei, you are obviously not the right person. ”
"Uncle and aunt have already gone downstairs, wait for them to come, and see what they have to say."
Zhou Qifeng and Qian Yu received Liu Xiaofei's news and immediately flew from Seattle non-stop. got off the plane and urged the driver to rush all the way to the hospital.
As soon as the two parents entered the door, they heard their son reprimanding the "legitimate daughter-in-law".
"Uncle and aunt, you're here!" Liu Xiaofei stepped forward to greet him, "You guys come here to sit." Liu Xiaofei took them to the sofa and sat down, made tea for them, and did a decent job.
"Dad, Mom, it's so late, you still rushed all the way over, and you are not tired of panicking."
Qian Yu walked to the hospital bed, took Zhou Yi's hand, and kneaded it distressedly: "We are your parents, how can we not come if you have an accident?" She said as tears fell.
"Mom, I'm fine. Aren't you alive and kicking around here? Zhou Yi gently patted Qian Yu's shoulder, "Don't cry, Mom." ”
Qian Yu is like a child, she has been spoiled by Zhou Qifeng for decades, and she will only cry when she encounters something, completely losing her domineering spirit when she wanted to marry Zhou Qifeng.
Zhou Qifeng hugged Qian Yu's body and patted her back gently: "Isn't my son okay?" You see how ugly you cry. ”
"Does Xiaofei have something to discuss with us?" Zhou Qifeng asked Liu Xiaofei.
"Uncle and aunt, it's like this, Ah Yi and I plan to adopt a child. The child's mother was killed in a terrorist attack, leaving him without a father and now an orphan. Liu Xiaofei said, "But Ah Yi and I are very busy with work and don't have time to take care of the children, so I want you to take care of them for a while." ”
As soon as Zhou Qifeng and Qian Yu entered the ward, Su Xiaoyu quietly left, after all, this was their housework, and it was not appropriate for an outsider to be inside.
Before his parents could speak, Zhou Yi had already made his position clear: "I don't agree. If you have to adopt this child, and you have to be raised by your parents, then it is good to adopt it in the name of your parents, and there is no need to adopt it in our name. ”
"You let us think about it first." With such a big matter, Zhou Qifeng can't make a decision at this moment.
"Xiaofei, you go back first, we can take care of it here." Qian Yu finally spoke, "You've been busy for a day, you should rest early." ”
After Liu Xiaofei left, Zhou Qifeng spoke: "It can be seen that there is no relationship between you and Xiaofei." Tell me, why did you marry her? ”
"It's my thing, I have my own considerations."
"I don't want to say that we won't force you. As long as the girl doesn't feel wronged. ”
The "girl" in Zhou Qifeng's mouth refers to Zhao Ruozhi.
"She doesn't know ...... yet," Zhou Yi said, "I don't know how to explain it to her." ”
"When will I get a chance to bring that girl back?" Qian Yu felt sorry for his son, and knew that he was forced to do so.
"She has already met Liu Xiaofei, and she may never want to go home with me." Zhou Yi's eyes were dim and he hung his head. Only in front of his mother can he not be so strong: "It's me who is sorry for her." ”
"If she really cares about you, she will understand you one day." Qian Yu looked at his son's helpless appearance, and there was an indescribable sourness in his heart.
This child has been too strong since he was a child, and just because he has had extraordinary talent since he was a child, he has never been able to get along well with children of the same age. It's been more than 20 years, and I haven't seen him fall in love with any girl. The girl who can make him feel good must be very good.
"I thought about adopting a child. It can be adopted in the name of you and Liu Xiaofei, and it is no problem to send it to us. If you can, take that girl over and help us raise the child together. Qian Yu couldn't bear to see his son's self-blame, "Old Zhou, you don't have an opinion, right?" ”
"Of course I have no problem with your decision."
"As long as she wants to come, she will be the mother of the child." Qian Yu made a final promise.
"She should be downstairs in the general ward, you can stop by to see her and the child when you go back."
"Take care of your injuries, and go home when you have time."
"Okay."
Zhao Ruozhi didn't expect the family to adopt the child to come so soon. It is even less likely that she will know that the two couples who claim to adopt their children are actually Zhou Yi's parents.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother also had a good impression of Zhao Ruozhi, chatted for a long time, and left each other's contact information before reluctantly leaving.
Zhao Ruozhi sighed that the child was really lucky to meet such a warm adoptive family.
Zhao Ruozhi didn't expect that he couldn't let go of his relationship with this child. She visited the Zhou family frequently, and the Zhou couple had already helped her become a family member.
But that's all for another time.
That is, on the night when the Zhou couple visited Zhao Ruozhi, Zhao Ruozhi suddenly developed a high fever, and his condition could not be controlled. Half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to go back to ten years ago......
The smell of blood in his nose was full of blood, and his vision was a viscous dark red that he couldn't erase it.
The baby's cry was close to my ears, but I couldn't find the child.
In the strong smell of blood, the fragrance of a wisp of gardenia looms.
Mom? Mom! Mom is you?
Ah-Yi? Ayi, where are you?
I'm so scared......
If you say you're okay, you won't leave me alone?
Mom......
