Zhang Hao certainly knew this topic, "I thought..." At that time, he really thought it was just about remarriage. Now he realizes it’s not just about remarriage, but also involving a stepson. "What did you think? I’m glad you visited us. If you want to lose your temper, then get out." Zhang Dong scowled. What else could Zhang Hao do but lower his head? Otherwise, he’d just suffer the consequences, "I, I have no objections." "Dad, look, Xiao Bao has grown up and is sensible. Our qualifications aren’t great." "Neither am I. I don’t want my son to end up useless." Zhang Hao could only pin his hopes on his son. He can afford to lose, but it doesn’t matter; he has his son, his strongest ally. Wanting the child to win favor? Zhang Dong waved his hand, "Forget it, the child should stay with his parents, grow up with us. He’ll become estranged from you." "You’ll have to rely on your children in the future." "I’m busy with work. Your grandmother’s health isn’t good. Your aunt is busy taking care of her, and doesn’t have time for the kid." "If the child gets into scrapes, you and your mother will stir things up." Zhang Dong didn’t want Liang Yan to come storming into their home causing trouble. Zhang Dong’s callousness deeply disappointed Zhang Hao, "Dad, he’s your grandson, how can you...how can you?" "Educate him well. If I have time, let the child come over." After all, he was his grandson. Seeing his bewildered look, Zhang Dong felt a bit clueless. Upon hearing Zhang Dong finally relent, Zhang Hao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The first step was completed; the future matters could be slowly anticipated. Zhang Dong didn’t want to see Zhang Hao’s joyfully smiling expression, it was unbearable to watch—pure scheming. "If I realize you’re telling the child how bad I am, how bad the aunt is, I won’t be responsible for Xiao Bao." "Otherwise, if I put effort into teaching, and end up raising an ingrate, I’d rather have had no involvement from the start." "If you want the best for the child, don’t stir up trouble in front of him." "I can abandon my son, let alone my grandson." Zhang Dong directly cut off Zhang Hao’s escape route. Ah ah ah, Zhang Hao hadn’t anticipated that Zhang Dong would see through his thoughts. What could he do? Zhang Hao knew he could only concede. Helplessly, he could only keep comforting himself internally; as long as the son is successful, he’ll also have a decent life as the father. Zhang Hao repeatedly nodded, "Dad, rest assured, I know what to do." Chen Jiaojiao felt relieved; compared to asking for a house or money, she hoped more that her precious son could become an accomplished child under the guidance of the patriarch, which would make her very happy. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Dad." She kept assuring herself inwardly that she would definitely keep an eye on Liang Yan and Zhang Hao, ensuring they wouldn’t ruin the child’s future. She knew how to control them, "Xiao Bao, thank grandpa." "Thank you, Grandpa." Xiao Bao didn’t understand why his parents were so excited, but he knew he should listen to Mom. Looking at the fair and clean grandson, Zhang Dong nodded, "He’s a good child. As long as he’s raised properly, he should be fine." Zhang Dong recalled Zhang Hao when he was little; back then, he was also very cute. Unfortunately, as he grew up, he turned out useless. "As long as he’s not like his father, if he has half the effort of his aunt, that’s enough." Zhang Dong didn’t care whether this talk would provoke Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao couldn’t help but pout; he knew it would be , "Dad, you can’t talk about me like that in front of the child in the future." "Otherwise, when the child grows up, how will he think of me? Will he feel I’m just useless?" "I wouldn’t retain any fatherly dignity in front of him." Zhang Hao still hoped he could maintain face in front of his son, not be looked down upon. Zhang Dong looked at Zhang Hao making demands in front of him, involuntarily laughed, "Are you making demands of me?" "I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare." Zhang Hao couldn’t possibly admit. "I think you wouldn’t dare. Face isn’t something you can expect others to give you; you have to earn it yourself." "Back then, who thought highly of Little Yu, including your grandfather and them? The New Year’s money they gave was much less than yours." "But now look, who can look down on her?" "She reached this point because she said she wanted to be esteemed?" "If you want to be esteemed, then do some proper work." "At your age, you’re already not striving to advance, just muddling along." "Your father, even at this age, is still working hard." Zhang Dong knew Zhang Hao hadn’t really listened. "Alright, you’ve seen me now, go back." Zhang Dong didn’t want to see them, directly told them to leave. Aghast, Zhang Hao originally thought that despite Zhang Dong’s dislike for him, he should at least invite them to stay for a meal, but unexpectedly, he didn’t ask them to stay for dinner. "I haven’t seen Aunt yet." Zhang Hao very much wanted to see who had such an ability, a middle-aged woman, who could coax Zhang Dong into agreeing to marry her. And could even make Zhang Dong support a stepchild; really wanted to see who had such charm. "You’ve met her; she’s the one who used to take care of your grandmother." Zhang Dong suddenly remembered, as he had forgotten to mention it. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novęlfire.net What? Could it be true? Zhang Hao was dumbfounded, so was Chen Jiaojiao. Earlier, she was thinking who had such charm, thinking the woman must be well-educated, imagining lots of possibilities. Unexpectedly, the wife Zhang Dong remarried was the former nanny aunt. Oh my God, Chen Jiaojiao really couldn’t understand how Zhang Dong with such good conditions could marry such a woman? Could it be that she was under too much pressure lately and wasn’t thinking clearly, otherwise how could such an impossible thing happen? "Dad, I didn’t mishear, right? You, you’re not kidding your son, are you?" Knowing Zhang Dong wouldn’t joke around, but this matter was really bewildering. At that moment, Aunt walked out of the car carrying groceries and was momentarily stunned upon seeing Zhang Hao’s family of three. She quickly reacted, "Xiao Hao, Jiaojiao, stay here for dinner." Looking at the radiant nanny aunt, Zhang Hao couldn’t imagine this was the person who had worked as a nanny at home for a few years. He had already prepared himself to build a good relationship with Zhang Dong’s new wife, but didn’t expect it to be her. Which left him speechless; how could he greet a family’s nanny? Zhang Hao really wanted to sternly question Zhang Dong, why he insisted on marrying her, not realizing it would put them as children in an awkward position? But such words, he knew he couldn’t say, otherwise he’d assuredly find himself in trouble. Frustrated, Zhang Hao hastily called out "Aunt" and then left, not wanting to stay for dinner. Chen Jiaojiao could only hold Xiao Bao and bid farewell to Zhang Dong’s family, "Excuse us." She was surprised, but not overly dissatisfied. Although she didn’t understand why Zhang Dong married her, since they were already married, there must be a good reason for it. As Chen Jiaojiao held Xiao Bao to catch up with Zhang Hao, she was actually quite envious; one could visibly see Aunt was living well. No matter what, she was indeed more responsible than Zhang Hao.
