Chapter 111: Father

During this holiday, Xu Jing came to the Meng family.

Just visiting his grandson from the photo alone can no longer satisfy him. He happened to have time this week, so he rushed over early and had breakfast with Meng Huo and others.

Lisa was not seen during breakfast. When Xu Jing and others were attracted by the sudden crying child, Meng Huo whispered to Alice: "Where is your sister? Why don't you come to have breakfast?"

"Don't worry, she's in the kitchen and can't be hungry." Alice answered absent-mindedly as she watched the elders coax the children.

"Kitchen, what did she do in the kitchen?"

"Learn to cook." After the child's crying decreased, Alice retracted her gaze and explained to Meng Huo.

Lisa is supplementing the knowledge needed for new comics. She will run to the kitchen when she has time. In this courtyard, although Li Qin often interferes in cooking, the chef of the Meng family is also a very good chef.

The old lady has a light taste, but in order to satisfy the different tastes of Meng Huo and Alice, she has attracted many chefs from the genre. If Lisa wants to know about this, she will directly ask these people to ask them faster than reading books.

However, although she understood Lisa's purpose of going to the kitchen, her behavior still made him feel very bad: "Why did she go there early in the morning? Your dad finally came over and she didn't come out to meet him."

He thought Lisa was too rude, but Alice's subsequent words surprised her.

"I told her not to come out."

"Ha?" Meng Huo looked at Alice in surprise: "Why are you?"

Alice did not answer this question, but it was actually because Lisa looked the same as her and she appeared in front of Xu Jing's eyes. It seemed to be revealing that Alice was not his biological daughter, and she didn't want Xu Jing to have that idea.

"You also need to prepare the script. I'll come to entertain my dad. You'll go to work later." Alice took a sip of water and said to Meng Huo.

Meng Huo nodded, and after finishing breakfast, he stood up and said goodbye.

It is rare that Xu Jing came here. Meng Huo wanted to talk to him more, but he spent a lot of energy on Qin Yaxin comics this week and had already dragged the animation script for a long time. It would be impossible not to hurry up and prepare for this holiday.

Meng Huo went to work, and the old lady also went to work after breakfast. Li Qin and Alice's mother stayed in the living room for half an hour, and then went out to buy things together.

Only Alice and Xu Jing were left in the living room.

"Your mother deliberately gave me time." Xu Jing saw that his wife and Li Qin left, just to give time to himself and his grandson. When they were there, he couldn't let go.

After the two left, Xu Jing happily picked up his grandson, and his former serious image disappeared completely.

"Look, this kid looks so much like Meng Huo."

"Jier seems to like you very much."

Alice giggled, it was strange to say that the child who had always been hugged by strangers was blinking curiously in Xu Jing's hands.

"Yes, haha... I can see too, this little guy must have recognized me." Xu Jing raised the baby and smiled: "Good boy, call me grandpa!"

"Dad, he can't speak yet."

"It's hard to say..." Xu Jing teased the baby with great enthusiasm, and said, "He looks so similar to Meng Huo, and he looks like a smart guy. His father can do anything, so he must be a genius."

Xu Jing seemed to really think that this child might be able to speak, and taught him happily for a long time. But of course, Meng Jie did not have the power to create miracles like his father. Xu Jing spent a long time talking, but not only did he not call him grandpa, but he also scared him to cry.

Alice took the child and coaxed him for ten minutes before coaxing him.

After the little guy cried, he fell asleep. Xu Jing was dry and could not play with his grandson.

"Forget it, the child grows fast, and in two years he will be able to call me grandfather." He untied himself, and then after seeing Alice put Meng Jie in the cradle, he asked again: "Alice, are you planning to give birth to another one?"

"..." Alice was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "In a few years, I will give the second child the name to you and your mother."

Xu Jing poured a cup of tea: "Is it painful to have a baby?"

"General..." Alice Yan answered insincerely. It was really painful, but she couldn't say it out. A few years ago, she decided to at least give the Xu family a successor.

"What did Meng Huo say?" Xu Jing asked again.

"I told him." Alice replied: "He has no objection."

"Is that... that child is kind, I guess he would say that." Xu Jing picked up the teacup and drank the tea with a smile on his face: "Either you or Meng Huo, you care too much about me. But Alice... you don't have to do this..."

"What?"

"You don't have to have another child." Xu Jing looked at the baby in the cradle and said, "I like Meng Jie very much. Having him a grandson is enough. You don't have to think about the Xu family anymore."

Alice stood up in surprise: "Dad, what are you saying, how can this be done?"

"I thought about it carefully." Xu Jing sighed and said slowly: "Even if you give birth to another child and let him take my surname, he will not be happy when he grows up, and maybe he will resent me!"

The children of the Xu family and Meng family cannot be treated the same as each other. Although Meng Huo has no objection, the surname Xu may affect the future of the child. Xu Jing does not want his grandson to think that his grandfather is not good, and there are too few things left to him.

Instead of having such problems in the future, it is better to not have that grandson. Just have Meng Jie now, and there will be not much trouble in the future.

"Dad!" Alice looked angry and was about to say something, but suddenly a voice came from, and Li Qin and her mother happened to come back from outside, so she had to stop the words.

"What are you talking about?"

"Is Jayer asleep again?"

The two women came in with smiles. Alice looked back at Xu Jing, then grabbed her mother and pulled her out.

"What's wrong, Alice?" the blonde woman was startled.

"Dad said he didn't want a second child." Not far from the living room, Alice turned to her mother and said, "Mom, go and persuade him."

The woman shook her head: "What's there to persuade me? Isn't this good?"

"Mom!" Alice opened her eyes wide: "You knew that you didn't say that before, right?"

"He told me last month." The woman replied, "I think this is great, and it will not be difficult for you to do it in the future."

"But Dad has always..."

"He has always wanted a grandson to inherit the incense of the Xu family, right?" asked the woman. After seeing Alice nodding, she shook her head: "It's not like this, your father is stupid... We always feel that we owe him, so we want a child's surname Xu."

"But you are not his child after all..." The woman sighed in a low voice: "Even if the child you gave birth to is Xu, it has nothing to do with your father..."

"Mom. How can you say that!" Alice looked at her mother incredibly: "You have never been like this!"

What the woman said is a taboo, a taboo between them. In the past, Alice also had rebellious times. When she was a child, she would say that she was not Xu Jing's child. Every time, her mother would beat her hard.

It is true that Alice and Xu Jing have no blood relationship, but in the eyes of women, Alice should recognize this father. Especially in the eyes of many outsiders, Xu Jing is like a fool. He raised a daughter who has nothing to do with him.

Alice's mother cared about this very much. Whenever someone talked about Xu Jing behind her back, she was the one who was most hurt, and then Alice and Xu Jing.

The woman's guilt towards Xu Jing has lasted for decades. She has never given Xu Jing their children. Alice is watching such a mother grow up, so her views on Xu Jing are different from other children's views on their fathers.

Xu Jing is her father, but she and her mother's benefactor. Although she rarely shows it on her face, Alice has always treated Xu Jing with the dual view of her benefactor and her father.

Like her mother, she cared about the Xu family's affairs in her heart, so the final reason why she did to Meng Huo a few years ago was not for herself, but for Xu Jing.

She wants a child, even if she is not related by blood, and she hopes that the child can inherit the Xu family's incense. This is something Alice thinks she must do in her life.

However, now, Xu Jing suddenly said that he didn't need it. This was like cutting off the opportunity to repay kindness that was close to him, and Alice was at a loss.

"When you become stubborn, your temper is the same as Meng Huo..." The woman looked at her daughter and smiled, "Your father said no, then no," she said.

"It doesn't matter if your surname is Xu or not, your surname is Xu, but others call you Alice. When did your father mind?" the woman said: "The name is just a mark. In the future, you often take Jie'er to Ninghai to show us, which is enough."

Alice shook her head: "Dad doesn't want this!"

"What he wants is very simple. From childhood to adulthood, he has always regarded you as his biological daughter. He has no requirements for you, as long as you are happy..."

"I know, I know he will think about me." Alice shook her head: "But it's not this problem, he sat for us so much. We can't help but repay his kindness..."

"You were wrong." The woman reached out and grabbed Alice's hand: "I feel guilty, repaying my kindness, this is just a wishful thinking between the two of us. Your father doesn't care as much as we think."

"Wishful thinking?"

"Well, wishful thinking... Mom only found out not long ago." The woman said with sweet expression: "A while before Jie'er was born, I discussed this with your father. I want you to have a second child. Your father disagreed and got angry with me."

"He doesn't care about this. If he cares about his bloodline, he doesn't have to guard us for so many years. There are many women outside to choose from."

"So..." the woman said softly: "What he wants is to be happy for our family. We both want to repay him and ask the child's surname Xu, but for him, this is actually a humiliation."

"Under the insult?"

"Isn't it? He treats us as his family, but we treat him as his benefactors. What is it not to be humiliating?" The woman smiled and said, "Family people will not think of guilt or repayment."

"..." Alice was silent: "Is this what dad said?"

"Yeah." The woman nodded: "It was what he said... He said that as long as we stay by his side, he would be very happy, and other things didn't matter."

The woman's voice was very soft, but Alice could hear it, and her mother was very happy.

"I never treat him as my benefactor rather than my family..." Alice took back her hand and said, "In my heart, his first job will always be the profession of dad."

"I know..." the woman nodded: "So, I will do this as you want, don't care about his or my opinion."

"I know how to do it."

Alice already understood what she was going to do, so she said goodbye to her mother, then came to the old lady's room and told her that she wanted to hand over the child to the two families to raise.

"Two families raised?" The old lady was curious: "What does this mean?"

"...I want this child to go to school in Ninghai in the future..."

Alice explained that she wanted to leave the child to the two families to raise. Before going to school, he could go to the Meng family, elementary school, Ninghai, junior high school, or Su Hua family to discuss and work together to raise the child.

"That's how..." the old lady frowned: "Then let me ask, if Meng Jie went to school in Ninghai, could I send someone to take care of him?"

"Of course." Alice was a little nervous. She didn't have the idea of ​​dividing her child's life into several parts. She just lived in different places, but no matter where she lived, the other party could take care of him.

"I agreed." The old lady nodded.

"grandmother……"

Alice was surprised and looked at the old lady unexpectedly. She thought that it was involved in the Meng family and that the old lady must monopolize the custody of her great-grandson. Alice was ready to be rejected, but she did not expect that the old lady was so open-minded.

In this case, Alice could also obey Xu Jing's words and not consider her second child. If the old lady refuses, she will definitely give birth to another one.

"This girl...is the first time she has such an expression in front of me..."

Looking at Alice's expression full of emotion and excitement, the old lady was also very funny. Of course, she was enlightened. She knew about the Xu family. To put it bluntly, Alice's words were to let her great-grandson get along with his grandparents.

The old lady didn't care about this at all.

After all, Alice is Xu Jing's only daughter. The Xu family has no power, just one. Even if Meng Jie has a deep relationship with the Xu family when he grows up, he will not have any conflicts with the Meng family.
