On the one hand, letting people know that Mo Mo is our daughter will make it easier for her to move about in this circle. On the other hand, if Qi Miao wants to make trouble under our na, she’ll have so reservations."
Upon hearing her husband say this, Chu Peixian naturally had no objections and agreed.
"You’re right. It’s not enough for us to recognize Mo Mo as our daughter. We need to let everyone in the family know that she’s our daughter. We’ll handle this matter ourselves, so there’s no need to involve Xiao Xiao."
"Fine, I’ll listen to you."
Thinking of formally adopting their daughter, Chu Peixian’s eyes lit up, but a mont later, the excitent on her face faded a bit.
"What’s wrong?"
Qi Baiyan asked her when he noticed her change.
"We should ask Mo Mo for her opinion first. If she thinks it will bother her for everyone to know her identity, then let’s just drop it. We should prioritize her needs."
Qi Baiyan thought for a while before finally nodding his head.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
"Let’s listen to our daughter."
Chu Peixian corrected with a smile.
Qi Baiyan helplessly laughed, "You, it’s like adopting a daughter is like recognizing an ancestor."
Chu Peixian glared at him and said:
"We’ve been irresponsible to her for thirty years already. If we recognize her now but still bring her trouble, then it’s better not to recognize her at all. She’s doing just fine now; there’s no need for us to add trouble to her life."
She even thought that perhaps, in their daughter’s heart, they, these family mbers, were dispensable.
Whether she wanted to recognize them or not, she was now an adult, and the recognition or lack thereof really wouldn’t affect her much.
"Alright, fine, you make sense. So, are you going to talk to your daughter about this?"
Chu Peixian nodded excitedly, "I’ll go find her tomorrow."
After the Qi family mbers left, Gu Junhang put away the gifts they had brought. After everything was ready, he sat down beside his wife and said:
"Be careful of that Qi Miao. She has impure intentions."
Xia Yumo raised her eyebrows and teased with a smile:
"What? She said you were stingy, and you’re holding a grudge?"
A little embarrassed, Gu Junhang laughed and ruffled her hair. As she looked at him with a slightly annoyed expression, he said:
"She used to be the young lady of the Qi family. Suddenly, she beca an orphan with no parents, and she lost her share of the Qi family fortune. Do you think she can accept it easily?"
He looked serious and stern, his hands tightly clasping Xia Yumo’s, saying:
"Mo Mo, they are your family, and it’s proper for you to recognize them. But you should be cautious of those who need to be guarded against. I don’t want you to get tricked by them after recognizing your family mbers."
Speaking of this, he thought of Qi Ming, the Second Young Master of the Qi family, who was an ignorant fool, easily manipulated by Qi Miao without realizing it.
If his wife becos closer with the Qi family mbers in the future, it’s inevitable that the foolish Qi Ming would be used by Qi Miao to set his wife up.
Xia Yumo looked at the serious expression on Gu Junhang’s face and burst into laughter.
"Alright, do you think your wife is that foolish? I saw through Qi Miao’s intentions long ago. As for that Qi Ming, he’s a born fool who deserves to be used by Qi Miao. He doesn’t want to recognize as his sister, and I don’t want to recognize him either."
