Chapter 780: Chapter 782: I Want to Sever the Mother-Daughter Relationship!
"Girl, even though I, your uncle, always pride myself on having thick skin, do you really think I’d go crazy along with your mom in this matter?"
As Xu Jiao lashed out with a question full of cold intent, Lin Fei, though he didn’t directly respond, anyone could tell from his helpless shrug what he ant to say.
This sort of thing, how the hell could I agree to it!
This was undoubtedly Lin Fei’s true inner thought!
Back then, in the Star Hotel suite, when Gu Lanzi first proposed that he beco the godfather to Xu Jiao, the teenager, Lin Fei had slapped that proposition right onto Gu Lanzi’s perky and ample buttocks.
Of course, that was not sothing he would bother telling the teenager, Xu Jiao, about.
"Girl, you could figure it out with your toes. Given our relationship, how could I possibly agree to such a preposterous request from your mom? Don’t worry about it. I reckon your mom just got carried away. I tried my best to talk her out of it at that ti. Probably, she has let go of that idea now."
True to Lin Fei’s words, considering his relationship with the teenager, Xu Jiao, Lin Fei wouldn’t agree to Gu Lanzi’s madcap idea, no matter what.
It had nothing to do with whether Lin Fei was familiar with Xu Jiao’s temperant or not; it was simply his own will. Pointlessly, Lin Fei obviously didn’t want to end up with an almost-adult goddaughter like Xu Jiao.
He simply had no need for that.
Besides, Lin Fei was no longer the solitary man he used to be. At the very least, he now had Mu Shanshan, a president-level wife.
Even though the woman wasn’t in the country right now.
But, after all, the two of them were officially married.
If Lin Fei, without Mu Shanshan’s consent, were to privately acknowledge Xu Jiao as his goddaughter, knowing Mu Shanshan’s icy presidential temperant,
once the woman returned to the country and found out about this, whether or not she would recognize Xu Jiao as the goddaughter was aside. She would clearly need to have a serious discussion with Lin Fei for acting on his own and disregarding her opinion.
If things didn’t go well, it would undoubtedly lead to another cold war.
For that reason, even just for the sake of his future peace, Lin Fei would obviously not agree to Gu Lanzi’s request to be the godfather to the teenager, Xu Jiao.
Damn, it’s too absurd!
After all, if it really ca down to it, Lin Fei was only seven or eight years older than Xu Jiao.
"Uncle, I’m going to ask you one last ti. Did my mom really say she wanted
to acknowledge you as my godfather?!"
After Lin Fei had explained twice in a row that he had not agreed to Gu Lanzi’s absurd proposal, Xu Jiao, who had been silent for a while, couldn’t help but look at Lin Fei again, her gaze filled with scrutiny and interrogation.
"Girl, what else do you want Uncle to explain? I’ve said it all; if you still don’t believe , I can only call your mom and let her explain it to you personally."
"No need, I believe you, Uncle!" With a cold reply to Lin Fei, the teenager Xu Jiao imdiately turned and walked away.
"Hey, girl, where are you going?"
Seeing Xu Jiao, who seed to be filled with cold determination, looking like she was about to confront or settle scores with Gu Lanzi, Lin Fei felt a sudden pang of anxiety and quickly stood up to grab the girl’s arm.
"Uncle, let
go. I’m going to find her now and get a clear answer. If she doesn’t explain it to , I—I’m going to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her today!"
"Girl, you can’t do that." Hearing Xu Jiao’s intent to sever ties with Gu Lanzi, Lin Fei, breaking into a cold sweat, hastily tried to soothe Xu Jiao while signaling Jiang Ying, who was standing by, to join in convincing Xu Jiao not to act impulsively and indeed go find Gu Lanzi to argue.
If it ca to that, it wasn’t just a matter of what kind of dispute might arise between the teenager Xu Jiao and Gu Lanzi, her new leader. After Gu Lanzi suffered a scolding from Xu Jiao, she would definitely co looking for trouble from Lin Fei.
Moreover, given Gu Lanzi’s indulgent affection for the teenager Xu Jiao,
The likelihood of Lin Fei being knocked out by the woman was close to one hundred percent.
"Girl, calm down. Maybe your mom just did it on a whim. I didn’t take it seriously, so why should you? Moreover, the reason why your mom initiated the talk with , from what I can tell, was all for your sake."
"For my sake? How could it possibly be for my sake! If she really cared about , how could she co to Uncle and talk about this kind of thing? I think she’s just annoyed with , doesn’t want to take care of
anymore, so she’s trying to pass
off to you under this pretense. She’s just bothered by , thinks I’m holding her back from work! In her eyes, her job has always been more important than ! I know it, I’ve always known it! I’ve had enough! Today, I’m going to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her, no matter what! Uncle, stop holding
back!"
Xu Jiao’s outburst was entirely scread. It was clear she was truly enraged.
If it hadn’t been for Lin Fei’s strength, had it been Jiang Ying holding onto Xu Jiao, she might have already been torn away by the girl by now.
"Girl, no matter what you’re thinking, I can tell you for certain, your mom is definitely not like what you think. In your mom’s heart, you are absolutely more important than her work."
"Uncle, you’re not my mom, how would you know what she’s thinking? I’m her daughter, only I know what she thinks. If she really cared about
more than her work, she wouldn’t have passed
to you, Uncle, to take
shopping! And now, she’s thinking about making
recognize you as a godfather. What’s all this about? I think she just doesn’t want
anymore!"
"Girl, if that’s what you think, then you’re really wronging your mom. There’s sothing, I originally didn’t want to tell you. But now, it seems I have to."
Seeing Xu Jiao’s deep misunderstanding of Gu Lanzi, and fearing that she—out of sheer anger—might run to her and break off their mother-daughter relationship, Lin Fei steeled his heart and decided to reveal the whole story of Gu Lanzi being falsely accused.
"...Girl, I can assure you. Your mom, what she said at the ti was to have
take good care of you, not to find soone to rescue her. If, after all I’ve said, you still believe that your mom values her work more than you, then I have nothing further to say."
"Uncle, is everything you said true? Was my mom really arrested yesterday?" After hearing what Lin Fei had said, Xu Jiao’s anger dissipated, and she stared at Lin Fei with tear-filled eyes.
As her words fell, without even waiting for Lin Fei to respond, tears burst forth from Xu Jiao’s eyes like the floodwaters breaching a dam, surging down...
