Chapter 62: The Adopted Daughter of a Wealthy Family (8)
Bai Zhuo choked. She knew that, so she asked if there was any other way. She would not let her brother's child be adopted.
But according to the laws of Country X, if the matter is not resolved before the child's mother makes a fuss, the child and the shares will become the child's mother.
If the child's mother was a good person, this wouldn't be a problem, but looking at the way my brother behaved just now, there must be something very wrong with the child's mother.
"And looking at your brother's current condition, he will definitely not consider his own affairs until he has completely resolved the issue of Jiang Song and his uncle. But your brother is already 28 years old. He has been in there for five years. It is unknown how old he will be when he comes out to resolve the issue of Jiang Song. So that child may be your brother's only child."
Zhou Qili seemed not to notice the silence in Bai Zhuo's eyes and continued to talk about the importance of this child.
Bai Zhuo couldn't help it. "Brother Qi Li, I'm not stupid. I'm asking you if you have any other solutions. Otherwise, I'll go find Jiang Song. As long as Jiang Song doesn't pursue the matter, there might be a chance for my brother's case to turn around."
Originally, Bai Zhuo really didn't plan to look for Jiang Song, but now that he has a child, it won't be such a simple matter if his brother goes to jail again.
"Stop it. Do you believe that if Jiang Song doesn't pursue the matter today, your brother will be able to send himself back to prison tomorrow for intentional injury?"
This is the reason why Zhou Qili did not allow Bai Zhuo to find Jiang Song from the beginning. It was not because Zhou Qili listened to Shui Chengwen. He would never do anything that Shui Chengwen did not allow him to do.
It was because Zhou Qili knew that if Bai Zhuo asked Jiang Song for help regarding Shui Chengwen's matter, Shui Chengwen would definitely make things worse.
"And Gardenia, don't you think there's something wrong?"
Bai Zhuo looked at Zhou Qili in confusion.
"You and Shui Chengwen both seem to think that as long as you go to find Jiang Song, Jiang Song will definitely take a step back. So even if Jiang Song did something like that, do you still think that Jiang Song's feelings for you are real?"
Zhou Qili's question was like a slap in Bai Zhuo's face, and Bai Zhuo's cheeks instantly turned red with shame.
"The initial approach was all fake, how can anything be real?" Bai Zhuo almost shouted this sentence. Even if Jiang Song had a little bit of truth in the past, now it only made Bai Zhuo feel disgusted.
But there was nothing wrong with what Zhou Qili said. It turned out that he still subconsciously felt that Jiang Song had feelings for him. Realizing his innermost thoughts, Bai Zhuo could hardly face himself.
Zhou Qili turned a blind eye to Bai Zhuo's anger and said, "Then why do you think that it will be useful if you find Jiang Song?"
Bai Zhuo's face had not been so hot for a long time. She felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed of her self-righteousness.
"What should we do? How should we solve the problem of the child?"
"I have a way, but it's very unfair to you." Zhou Qili said so much and provoked Bai Zhuo just to make Bai Zhuo agree to his not-so-honorable method.
"What method?" Bai Zhuo's eyes lit up. As for the words "unfair to her", they didn't matter to Bai Zhuo at all. As long as he could protect Shui Chengwen's child, Bai Zhuo was willing to do anything.
Zhou Qili took a deep breath and looked directly into Bai Zhuo's eyes. "You marry Shui Chengwen."
Under Bai Zhuo's incredulous gaze, Zhou Qili continued to speak shockingly.
"When I found out about this, I consulted a lawyer. Finding someone I can trust is the only solution. Among the people Shui Chengwen knows, you are the only option I can think of who meets the requirements and is trustworthy."
Perhaps because he felt guilty, Zhou Qili spoke very quickly.
"Of course, the most important thing is that you will definitely treat your brother's child well. As long as you marry Shui Chengwen, according to the laws of Country X, you also have the right to raise the child. Moreover, you are now the actual owner of Shui Chengwen Company. With your assets and abilities, it will be easy for you to compete with the child's mother."
Bai Zhuo almost doubted his ears. What was Zhou Qili talking about? Not to mention how outrageous it was to ask her to marry his own brother, she was already married and Jian Fan was still waiting for her to come home.
Zhou Qili continued, "It's just a certificate. You can divorce after you get rid of the child's mother. At worst, you can divorce after your brother comes out."
Bai Zhuo took a long time to find his voice, "But I'm already married."
"Country X doesn't investigate this kind of thing so strictly. I should be able to get it done by finding someone else." Zhou Qili had already considered these things when he came up with this idea.
"But if we find out anything, everything will be in vain, and it may even affect the company I worked so hard to build."
"What should we do? We can't let you and Jian Fan divorce, right?"
Bai Zhuo's head buzzed. She had never thought of separating from Jian Fan, not even when they first got married. What's more, Jian Fan had been so good to her in the past two years.
After a long while, a voice as small as a mosquito appeared, "Zhou Qili, I am still a patient." It seemed that Zhou Qili had completely forgotten his identity as a psychologist since he came to Country X.
Zhou Qili's body stiffened slightly. "From the moment I decided to tell you about Shui Chengwen, I have been just Shui Chengwen's friend in front of you." Zhou Qili knew very well that he was not a qualified doctor to Shui Zhizi.
"And since you met your brother this time, you have never lost control, whether you mentioned Jiang Song or heard something unacceptable. The Shui family's affairs are your biggest concern. I can guarantee that as long as the Shui family's affairs are resolved, your illness will be completely cured."
Similarly, if the Shui family’s problems are not resolved, Shui Zhizi’s illness will probably never be cured.
"Let me think about it carefully." Bai Zhuo said in a trance.
"You should make a decision as soon as possible. We will also make preparations for the adoptive family here." Zhou Qili thought about it and added this sentence. He knew very well how unfair this method was to Bai Zhuo, but he also knew very well that between this method and Shui Chengwen's child being adopted, Bai Zhuo would definitely choose this method.
It was just a matter of time to make the decision, but Zhou Qili did not expect that Bai Zhuo could make the decision so quickly. Everything was so coincidental and the development of things did not give Bai Zhuo any chance to hesitate or choose.
When they got in the car and rushed to Shui Chengwen's residence, they had already called assistant Cheng Yu using the number given by Shui Chengwen.
So Cheng Yu was waiting at Shui Chengwen's residence early with the key in hand. However, Bai Zhuo and Zhou Qili had a bad feeling when they saw Cheng Yu's hesitation.
"What happened in the company?" Bai Zhuo got straight to the point after the three of them introduced themselves, because Cheng Yu's hesitation was obvious on his face.
