Chapter 879: Chapter 881: Fourth Aunt—Ling Weiwei

“Aunt Lan, you’re overthinking this. Chu Si is truly the daughter of a comrade-in-arms. Xiaoxuan and I have been looking for her for over two months now.”

As for Aunt Lan’s suspicion of whether Chu Si is Xiaohu’s daughter or an illegitimate child he had with another woman outside.

Lin Fei is really exhausted!

Even though Lin Fei doesn’t mind if someone mistakes Chu Si for his daughter. Moreover, when Lin Fei discussed with Butcher before, it was already decided that Lin Fei would adopt Chu Si.

However, acknowledging someone as a daughter and having a biological daughter are clearly, and must be, distinguished.

Even though Lin Fei has mentally prepared himself to raise Chu Si as his own daughter. But to nod and admit Chu Si as his biological daughter.

This is clearly not acceptable.

It’s just that Aunt Lan, unaware of the truth, caused by the slightly complex marital relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan. Plus, Lin Fei often not returning home at night.

Aunt Lan obviously doesn’t quite believe Lin Fei’s one-sided words.

“Son-in-law, now that Missy is not at home. You don’t need to worry about anything else, just tell me the truth. Is Chu Si really your biological daughter? If so, we must immediately send Chu Si away. This matter, no matter what, cannot let Missy know. Once Missy finds out about this, given her temperament, she might very likely divorce you.”

“Son-in-law, this time you have to listen to me no matter what. While Missy hasn’t returned yet, hurry up and send the child away. I’ll pretend I haven’t seen anything, we’ll just pretend this never happened. As for the child’s upbringing issue, you can give money to the child, but you must sever ties with the child’s mother. Absolutely no more contact!”

“Aunt Lan, you’ve really misunderstood. You can think about it, if Chu Si were really my child, why would I be foolish enough to bring her home? Aunt Lan, I can responsibly tell you that although I do indeed like children, to this day, I have no offspring at all! If Aunt Lan still chooses not to believe me, I can go with Chu Si now for a DNA test. Once the results are out, you’ll know if Chu Si is indeed the child of my comrade-in-arms or not.”

Hearing that Lin Fei is willing to proactively propose taking Chu Si for a DNA test,

Aunt Lan, while secretly relieved, couldn’t help but dismiss much of the suspicion that Chu Si was Lin Fei’s illegitimate daughter.

“Son-in-law, with what you’ve said, I’m much more at ease. As for whether to do a DNA test, let’s wait for Missy to return. Listen to what Missy has to say, and then decide based on the situation. However, I must say one more thing. I wonder if you’ve ever thought about Chu Si’s future upbringing problem?”

“I’ve already discussed with Xiaoxuan before, because Xiaoxuan is not married yet. So, I’m preparing to acknowledge Chu Si as my daughter. In order to provide Chu Si a healthy growing environment, once Shanshan returns, if Shanshan doesn’t oppose, I’d like Shanshan to be Chu Si’s mother.”

“So, son-in-law, you mean to adopt Chu Si?”

“You could say that. Chu Si’s father was like a brother to me. Now that both Chu Si’s parents have passed away, I have the duty to replace her father in raising her to adulthood.”

Hearing Lin Fei’s words, Aunt Lan hesitated for a moment and then, with determination, said, “It’s rare for you, son-in-law, to be so sentimental. When Missy returns, as long as you can prove that Chu Si is not your daughter, then no matter what, I will be on your side this time. I will do everything I can to persuade Missy on your behalf.”

“Thank you very much, Aunt Lan.”

Knowing how much Aunt Lan weighs in the heart of his wife, Mu Shanshan, as the company president, Lin Fei is truly grateful for Aunt Lan’s willingness to help persuade Mu Shanshan to accept Chu Si.

Lin Fei is genuinely thankful from the bottom of his heart.

“If anyone should be thanking, it should be me thanking you, son-in-law. It’s rare for you to have the heart to adopt Chu Si. In the future, when you and Missy go to work, with Chu Si at home, I’ll have a companion.”

“Aunt Lan, if you put it that way, you’re really flattering me. If you’re willing to help take care of Chu Si, no matter what, I should be the one thanking you.”

After expressing his gratitude and exchanging pleasantries with Aunt Lan, concerned about Chu Si in his heart, Lin Fei went downstairs with Aunt Lan and returned directly to the living room on the first floor.

…

Living room on the first floor.

Because Lin Fei had considerable contact with Chu Si before, with the help of a large pile of toys and nutritional meals prepared by a professional nutritionist, taking advantage of the time Lin Fei and Aunt Lan spent upstairs talking,

Ling Weiwei, this beautiful minister, successfully won over Chu Si.

Upon coming downstairs and witnessing this heartwarming scene, Lin Fei secretly sighed in relief, and for having found Ling Weiwei, this confidante of his.

Couldn’t help but feel grateful.

“I don’t know if the director mentioned it to you, but Chu Si has some developmental issues, so in terms of feeding Chu Si in the future, you might need to pay more attention. Also, there’s some bad news. Due to not having parents around since a young age, Chu Si has mild autism. Helping her open up and talk like a normal child will be quite challenging.”

“When we found Chu Si before, we had a doctor check her. Exactly the developmental issues and mild autism you mentioned were pointed out by the doctor. That’s why I wanted you to come, as you’ve had previous interaction with Chu Si. I hope in the future you could find more time to accompany Chu Si. As soon as possible, help her come out of the shadow of autism.”

“With just my own efforts, it’s difficult to help Chu Si. Kids at her age need familial care the most. In this aspect, Vice Minister Lin and President Mu need to work together. Of course, during this period, I’ll also try my best to make time to accompany Chu Si.”

Originally from the same orphanage as Chu Si, even without Lin Fei’s connection, Ling Weiwei would still have considerable affection for Chu Si.

Now, with Lin Fei’s involvement, in terms of helping Chu Si quickly overcome the shadow of autism, Ling Weiwei naturally has no intention of refusing.

“It’s rare for you, Miss Ling, to have such compassion. Truly, it’s Chu Si’s blessing. But, Miss Ling, since you haven’t married yet, to prevent people from gossiping, in my opinion, if you don’t mind, you might as well become Chu Si’s godmother. This way, when you frequently come to take care of Chu Si, it’ll be more justified.”

“Is that okay?”

Ling Weiwei’s question seemed directed at Aunt Lan, but was in fact seeking Lin Fei’s opinion.

Understanding this, Lin Fei, after a brief pause, nodded directly to Ling Weiwei and said, “There’s nothing wrong with that. Let’s go with what Aunt Lan said. From now on, you’re Chu Si’s godmother.”
