1088 Wanting a Child

After everyone left, Xia Wen walked dispiritedly to the chair beside him and sat down. Recently, he had been avoiding having any interactions with Tan Jing. Every time he said something to Tan Jing, they would end up leaving on bad terms. Tan Jing was also much more willful than before and would start kicking up a fuss whenever things did not go her way.

Xia Wen looked at Tan Jing helplessly. The issue with the Tan family was simple and difficult at the same time. Moreover, the Tan family was the one who could decide on their own fate, not Tan Jing.

Even if Tan Jing and Xia Wen stood on the same side and joined forces to deal with the Tan family, they would not be able to achieve anything. The Tan family was more than willing to fight to the death with them and they would even end up benefiting in the end.

After all, one who was down would fear no fall. If one already had nothing to lose, what else was there to be afraid of?

“Let’s talk about the money issue later. Let’s talk about the most important thing first. What is this thing about a child? Why would my parents find out about something like this?” Xia Wen said as he massaged the space between his eyebrows.

“I actually came back today to discuss this matter with you. I don’t know how the news got out, but I did tell my mother that I want to adopt that child,” Tan Jing said as she looked at Xia Wen self-righteously.

As soon as Xia Mao and Xu Lan left, Tan Jing immediately showed her true self. She did not even want to pretend in front of Xia Wen anymore. She was really too tired.

“Didn’t I already say that now is not the best time to adopt a child? If you adopt a child now, where does that leave Qiao Mei and her babies? How do you expect my parents to deal with it?” Xia Wen questioned.

Qiao Mei was about to give birth anytime. Xia Wen was not worried about this matter affecting Qiao Mei. He was actually worried that the adopted child would feel uncomfortable.

Qiao Mei’s two babies would definitely be the focus of the entire family. After all, they were the biological grandchildren of Xia Mao and Xu Lan. The two of them were already at the age when their peers’ grandchildren were already in elementary school. Yet, they had only just become grandparents. It was inevitable that they would dote on the babies a lot.

At that time, everyone’s attention would be on Qiao Mei’s babies. Who would pay attention to the child that he and Tan Jing just adopted? Moreover, this child did not have the approval of the family. Even after the child joined the Xia family, everyone would at most be nice to him, but it was probably impossible for them to really like him.

On one hand, this child would have already lost his biological parents. Yet, on the other hand, he would feel unvalued in the Xia family. Instead of something like that happening, it was better not to adopt him and cause him to suffer for no good reason. It was not good for his personal growth and this psychological trauma from his childhood would affect him for the rest of his life. Xia Wen did not want to see such a thing happen.

“What does this child have to do with Qiao Mei! Don’t tell me we need Qiao Mei’s approval for our own family matters now! Do I need Qiao Mei’s permission for everything I do!” Tan Jing said furiously.

Her mind was simply filled with thoughts of Qiao Mei now and she did not bother to understand what Xia Wen was trying to say. She only held on to her belief that she was being rejected by “Qiao Mei”, “Father and Mother” and Xia Wen, and she stubbornly refused to listen to Xia Wen.

“Can you calm down? This is not the time to let your emotions get the better of you. You’re not young anymore, so why can’t you consider the big picture? Is it appropriate to adopt a child at this time? Have you observed the child’s character properly? You made such a reckless decision to have him sent over. Do you even respect my family’s opinions?” Xia Wen said with a frown.

“This is my child! Do I need your parents’ permission to have my own child!” Tan Jing asked in disbelief.

“How can it just be your child! Does the issue have nothing to do with me? Does it have nothing to do with the Xia family?” Xia Wen asked.

Tan Jing was speechless for a moment. If she threw a tantrum now and said that this child had nothing to do with the Xia family, her plan would fail. In that case, this child would not be able to help her get a share of the Xia family’s assets and she would not gain anything. Instead, everyone would blame her.

“I… I really want a child of my own…” Tan Jing said pitifully as she looked at Xia Wen.

It was not as if Xia Wen did not want that as well. He had always liked children. Whenever there were children around him, he would look intently at them, especially the girls. He used to fantasize about what his own child would be like, what he wanted to teach the child and what kind of person his child would become.
