Chapter 240: 2040 ntioned Again for Adoption
“I’ll move my household registration out, write a guarantee, let soone witness it, and from then on, I’ll be completely separated from the Xia Family,” Xia Chuyi beca even calr.
Grandma Xia was so angry that her temples throbbed with pain, but thinking of her obedient grandson, she compromised, “Fine, I agree! But you’d better not regret it in the future!”
In the end, she still wanted to threaten Xia Chuyi.
She had already figured out how she would deal with Mother Xia once she got back ho!
Hmph, she didn’t believe that Xia Chuyi could really abandon Mother Xia.
“Also, about my mom, when you go back, let the production team set aside the burial plot next to my dad’s in advance, to be used for my mom’s burial,” Xia Chuyi said calmly.
“Furthermore, from now on, you must keep an eye on her, and never allow her to appear in front of again.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent, and everyone was shocked.
Did this an that Xia Chuyi had made up her mind to give up even her own mother?
Was she serious?
Grandma Xia was astonished and thought to herself: The girl is truly ruthless!
“Of course, I’ll still provide for her expenses,” Xia Chuyi continued, “Aside from that, you must write a promise never to drive my mom out of the Xia Family.”
With that, she had fulfilled all of Mother Xia’s wishes.
Then, Mother Xia’s life in the Xia Family beca one of good and bad tis, faultless against others.
Taken aback by her response, Grandma Xia didn’t know what to say.
“Hold on, I have sothing to say!” Suddenly, Xia Chengzong shouted.
Xia Chuyi pursed her lips and looked toward her second brother, “What do you want to say, Second Brother?”
Could it be that he still held hope for the Xia Family mbers? Did he disagree with her decision?
A flicker of anger rose in her heart.
But then she heard Xia Chengzong say, “Grandma, Mom, weren’t you planning to adopt a son for Second Aunt?”
Everyone was taken aback by his abrupt ntion of this matter.
Before they could react, he continued, “I’ll be the one adopted.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned once more.
“What did you say?” Grandma Xia was furious, “You ungrateful creature, you really are the worst!”
Wasn’t his adoption equivalent to completely severing Mother Xia from the main family branch?
“I disagree!” Aunt Xia exclaid in panic.
Chengzong was different from the other sons, especially at this ti. If he were adopted out, he would no longer truly be her son!
Xia Chengzong no longer looked at the two of them but instead turned to Xia Chuyi and carefully asked, “Chuyi, I want to be adopted by the second branch. Do you… do you agree?”
He was sowhat nervous, fearing that Chuyi would think he was being greedy.
After a brief mont of surprise, Xia Chuyi felt a tingling sensation in her nose.
She felt guilty for misunderstanding him just now.
Second Brother saying he wanted to be adopted out now—how could she not understand the aning behind it?
By coming to the second branch, he would take responsibility for Mother Xia.
With him, Xia Chuyi could truly free herself from the shackles of the main branch.
Especially given Mother Xia’s character, with a son and a burial plot secured, she would no longer be at the rcy of the main branch’s manipulation.
In summary… But still…
Xia Chuyi blinked away the sourness in her eyes and asked Xia Chengzong, “Second Brother, have you really thought this through?”
Had he really decided to sever ties with his biological parents to co to the second branch?
“Yes, I’ve thought it through,” Xia Chengzong looked at her and nodded firmly.
He wasn’t clever, nor was he very capable. But if he couldn’t understand by now who had been good to him and who had not, then he was truly blind!
Xia Chengzong had always been clear about gratitude and grudges; he knew to repay his debts.
Xia Chuyi saw the determination in Xia Chenzong’s eyes.
