Chapter 2506: Chapter 2442: Adoption Certificate
ng Xinian unfolded the slightly yellowed letter paper.
Chiang Xiao also leaned forward to take a look.
Only three words were written on it.
Adoption letter.
She was instantly taken aback.
What is this adoption letter about?
As she continued to read, it revealed that Nian Cheng was worried that Nian Che, being a man, couldn’t afford to raise a daughter; he also felt a sense of guilt toward him. So he was willing to adopt his daughter, treating her as his own, and promised a substantial dowry when she ca of age and got married. He also agreed to one request: when the adoptive daughter married, his son would carry her out of the bridal sedan chair as a brother.
Chiang Xiao gasped in shock.
Nian Che’s daughter—isn’t that Nian Mutong?
Is this deliberately intended to disgust ng Xinian and make things difficult for him?
Knowing well that his mother likely died because of this man’s trickery back then, and now he wants to prepare a dowry for Nian Mutong? And carry her out of the sedan chair as a brother?
Is it presud that ng Xinian won’t listen to ng Chaojun, but will surely heed his mother’s wishes?
She imdiately grasped ng Xinian’s hand, afraid he would be too enraged.
But ng Xinian simply maintained a cold expression, his entire aura frigid, showing no substantial emotional fluctuations otherwise.
He didn’t speak, just kept looking at the adoption letter.
Nian Che watched him, smiled, and said, "No matter how you look at it, this is Chenger’s good intention. She also worries that you’ll be too lonely in the future, so she’s giving you an adopted sister. At least, you two siblings can love and support each other."
Nian Mutong stared blankly at him, then glanced at ng Xinian.
She truly couldn’t process everything one after another.
Does the letter sohow involve her?
But seeing ng Xinian like this, she finds it sowhat frightening.
What adoption, what siblings—can she opt out?
Besides, she’s already grown up now; is she still going to be pushed around?
No one responded to Nian Che’s words.
He continued, "Tongtong, I’ve found you a boyfriend with very good qualifications."
"Uncle, I don’t want it!" Nian Mutong was startled and imdiately cried out.
She hasn’t t this man; why should he be her boyfriend?
"Hmm? What did you call ?"
"Dad... Dad." Nian Mutong dumbly corrected herself.
She still couldn’t quite process it. Why couldn’t he be honest before, and had to wait until now?
"Since you recognize
as your dad, it’s been customary for parents to arrange marriages, with matchmakers speaking on their behalf. Marriage is organized by elder family mbers. What’s this about not wanting? The man has good qualifications; you’d be at no loss marrying him."
"What man? But I haven’t even seen him, why should I marry him?"
"Tomorrow I’ll arrange for you two to et up. But I can tell you that I’ve already picked your wedding date—it’s going to be August 26 of this year. How do you feel about that?"
Nian Che’s words made Chiang Xiao’s heart skip.
She and ng Xinian’s wedding date is August 27, yet Nian Che chose August 26 for Nian Mutong?
If this isn’t intentionally trying to sicken people, who would believe it?
"Dad, I don’t want it, I don’t want to get married. No matter who that person is, I don’t want to get married!"
"You don’t want to get married? Sure, if you can convince your brother and sister-in-law to attend my wedding, to drink my celebratory wine, then we can discuss your marriage again." Nian Che smiled lightly.
"Wha- what? You’re getting married too?"
Nian Mutong was utterly stunned.
But didn’t he say he was married before?
"What about my mom? Didn’t you marry her?"
"She died after giving birth to you back then, otherwise why would Chenger feel so kindly as to adopt you?"
