Zhang Anren never imagined that what he had longed for would be realized with just a few words from Old Madam Jiang.
He looked at Jiang Pengfei expectantly, hoping the other party would nod.
Unfortunately, he was too optimistic.
Jiang Pengfei nodded with a forced smile.
"Okay, Mom, I'll think about it."
"The key is that Nansun is my daughter, and I want to find her a good home."
"Besides, I know her very well, she definitely wouldn't want to get married so early, right?"
Faced with Jiang Pengfei's question, Jiang Nansun was taken aback and glanced at Zhang Anren beside him.
Zhang Anren looked on with anticipation, clearly wanting to solidify his relationship with Jiang Nansun and marry into the Jiang family.
However, for some reason, Jiang Nansun stole a glance at Bai Tianyu.
Upon noticing his expressionless face as he watched this scene, Jiang Nansun, almost as if possessed, replied.
"Yes, we are still young, and there's no rush to get married so early."
She did indeed want to establish a relationship with Zhang Anren and get married.
But after meeting Bai Tianyu, those thoughts suddenly faded.
Upon hearing Jiang Nansun's reply, Zhang Anren looked at Jiang Nansun in disbelief.
I have no idea what she's thinking.
Jiang Nansun lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Anren's disappointed gaze.
Jiang Pengfei nodded in satisfaction.
“Look, Mom, it’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s that Nansun is unwilling.”
"We should also respect the child's wishes."
Grandma Jiang also glanced at Jiang Nansun with some surprise, but compared to Jiang Nansun's refusal.
She was speechless at her son's perfunctory attitude.
But she couldn't be bothered with the relationship between father and daughter, otherwise she'd be stuck on both sides.
"Alright, alright, you young people know what's going on in your lives, I, this old lady, won't nag any further."
"Let's eat, don't be shy, there aren't so many rules."
Jiang Pengfei also enthusiastically picked up the bottle of red wine that Bai Tianyu had given him.
"Perfect timing, Tianyu brought such good wine, let's open it."
"How's Tianyu? Want a drink?"
Bai Tianyu nodded and smiled.
"Okay, Suo Suo can drive back then."
"Lock, is that okay?"
Zhu Suosuo had just gotten her driver's license a while ago, so she naturally nodded.
"Of course, you can drink as much as you want, I don't drink alcohol."
"Very well, let us all enjoy ourselves to the fullest today."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Pengfei happily raised his glass and poured a toast for Bai Tianyu.
He then looked at Zhang Anren and said politely.
"Xiao Zhang, want a drink?"
Zhang Anren hurriedly waved his hand and said apologetically.
"Excuse me, Uncle Jiang, I don't drink alcohol."
"Alright then, do as you please."
As for Wang Yongzheng, Jiang Pengfei completely ignored him.
And so, the Jiang family's banquet began.
Two hours later.
Bai Tianyu and Zhu Suosuo drove away from the Jiang family.
It was a family dinner, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Of course, this applies to Zhu Suosuo and him.
For Jiang Nansun, Zhang Anren, and Wang Yongzheng, it was utter nonsense.
Because after Jiang Pengfei got drunk, he started to berate Zhang Anren and Wang Yongzheng.
They say they're like toads trying to eat swan meat, yet they dare to covet the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
In the past, Jiang Nansun would have retorted to Jiang Pengfei's materialistic remarks, but today she chose to ignore them.
Of course, in the end she couldn't help but argue with her family.
In the end they broke up on bad terms.
Because Old Mrs. Jiang said that if she married Zhang Anren and had children, they had to be boys, and they had to have the surname Jiang.
This crossed Jiang Nansun's bottom line.
And so, the argument began.
To be honest, he wouldn't care if it were Bai Tianyu.
As long as it's my own child, does it matter what their surname is?
How many people these days have children who are not related to them by blood at all?
That's just a ridiculous idea.
Chapter 130: Arrangements
"Honey, are you really not concerned about whose surname the child will take?"
The Lamborghini drove along the dimly lit street.
The family dinner started at six o'clock, and the initial small talk took an hour.
They ate for an hour and a half, and spent the remaining half hour arguing.
In the end, I couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave.
To be honest, Bai Tianyu had no objection to Old Madam Jiang's views.
In fact, I would say I quite agree with it.
Isn't it said that young people have open minds?
Is it really that important whether a child takes their father's or mother's surname these days?
No, it doesn't matter.
In fact, it doesn't matter whose surname the child takes; the most important thing is whose child he/she is.
And whether he is an ungrateful person.
If you raise an ungrateful child, it won't help.
Zhu Suosuo suddenly spoke, causing Bai Tianyu to look at her with some surprise.
"So that's why you've been so quiet the whole way; you were thinking about this?"
"Of course I don't mind. If you want a child, I can give you one, and the child can take your surname."
Bai Tianyu smiled and told the truth.
Zhu Suosuo looked at Bai Tianyu in surprise.
This answer really surprised her.
Bai Tianyu looks like a rich second-generation, and may even come from a large family.
In this situation, how could anyone possibly want their child to take their surname?
“The child is mine, and it’s my decision whose surname he wants to take.”
"I don't care what opinions my family has."
Only Bai's mother was somewhat stubborn in the family, but ultimately it was Bai Tianyu's own decision.
If Mr. Bai makes the decision, Mrs. Bai won't say anything.
So Bai Tianyu can decide who the child should believe.
Zhu Suosuo was finally certain that Bai Tianyu had not lied.
She was slightly moved; if they weren't still on the main street, she probably would have rushed over in gratitude.
Seeing this, Bai Tianyu took advantage of the red light to touch Zhu Suosuo's hair.
"Didn't you want to go to work?"
"How is Jingyan Group?"
"I'll make arrangements for you. I have shares in that company. If you want to join, I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."
"Really?"
Zhu Suosuo's eyes widened. Having lived in Shanghai for over twenty years, she naturally knew what Jingyan Group was.
Jiang Nansun's aunt was once a member of Jingyan Group and one of its founders.
She brought Wang Yongzheng back to arrange for him to join Jingyan Group.
It's easy to imagine how big a company Jingyan Group is.
If Bai Tianyu could arrange for her to join Jingyan Group, she would definitely be willing.
Bai Tianyu smiled and nodded.
