When Che Linwan looked at Jin Chongguang's face, he just thought it was a prank on his part.
His smile was very cold, the kind that could chill people to the bone.
Anyone who sees his smile will not misunderstand his intentions. He is not here to make suggestions or help at all.
But now Che Linwan had no choice.
Every lawyer she met reminded her, either tactfully or directly, with advice or warning, that she had no chance of winning.
That child does not belong to you.
You are not even an indirect relative of hers.
You don't even have the same blood type.
The only point of contact is that you were quarantined in the same room for a few days.
At that time, her biological father, the only relative willing to be responsible for her, was lying in the autopsy room of your institute downstairs, waiting for an autopsy.
This cannot be a legal reason for you to adopt her.
If she is currently being fostered in a children's home, perhaps you can adopt her due to your social status.
But now her family has come forward, relatives who are related to her by blood.
There is her grandma in the family. Do you, an outsider, have a closer relationship with the child than the grandma
When hearing the middle-aged man's lawyer's cross-examination, Che Linwan replied without hesitation, "I am closer to Cai Lemi than those relatives. Lawyer Tang, please believe that I am not questioning your professionalism. But from now on The word that appears in your mouth is always child, but her name never appears. She is called Cai Lemi. She is an individual and not a group called children. "
The thin, even-looking middle-aged man had a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.
Staring at Che Linwan fiercely, "I can see that you are an idealist. I know that as researchers like you, you spend your whole life in the ivory tower. I tell you, I will tell you today in my professional capacity , your lawsuit will be lost, you can’t get that child unless she is your illegitimate daughter!”
That last sentence was like a curse.
Che Lin was choking and his breathing was no longer normal.
But at this time, Jin Chongguang said to her, as long as you follow my method, there may be a glimmer of hope.
He finally asked her, "Please answer me honestly, is that child your illegitimate daughter?"
"of course not!"
"What about the child's biological mother?"
"died."
"you sure?"
"Both the child's father and the child's mother's natal family said that the child's mother was dead. There was no need for them to lie about such an issue."
Jin Chongguang asked her, "Are you not married yet?"
Che Linwan was stunned for a while. She intuitively thought that Jin Chongguang was going to act like a monster again.
"This has nothing to do with whether you are married or not."
Jin Chongguang sighed, with a hint of disdain and provocation in his eyes, "Do you know what environment is most beneficial to a child's growth?"
Che Linwan was about to explain his point of view, but the other party pressed his hands out of thin air and stopped him.
"Even professional child psychologists have different opinions. But from the perspective of nature, having parents and a complete family are currently the best sufficient but not necessary conditions for raising the next generation."
He had a valid point, although the tone in which he spoke was downright annoying.
"And your biggest disadvantage is that you are not married, you have no family, and you have no experience in raising a child."
"you mean?"
"A marriage certificate cannot be forged. But a miscarriage certificate can be forged."
"you… "
"As long as you are married. I can help you get a certificate to prove that you cannot have children. So..."
Red and fiery, trance-like, swaying.
When Che Linwan returned to the downstairs of his small apartment, he saw a pair of girls returning home from school, holding hands.
Then they were led home by their respective mothers under the building.
When she told Xiao Lemi that if she wanted to adopt her, she would be willing to live with her in the future.
Xiao Lemi raised his head slightly, with a trace of longing in his eyes, "I like my little aunt, and I want to live with her. But it doesn't matter if she can't do it. I won't be angry. As long as I can still do it often Just come and see me.”
At that time, Che Linwan felt as if his heart was tightly pinched by a hand, making him unable to breathe.
Brother De is right, that child's forbearing and pretentious attitude is the most heart-wrenching thing.
She always smiles at inappropriate times, her smile is forced but very restrained.
She was subconsciously imitating a maturity that should not belong to her age.
So it became four different things.
What if you want to get married? It is said that after reaching a certain age, there will always be one or two "spare tires".
Not a spare tire in the general sense, but a safe haven that you can reluctantly accept when you encounter any trouble.
Che Linwan paused in front of his address book.
classmate? colleague? A communication group temporarily added when participating in an academic forum
[Dr. Che, will you go to the children's hospital to pick up little Lemi to play tomorrow over the weekend?]I don’t know when the news about Xia Mingzhi came in.
Che Linwan stopped and took a look. Because of Song Ruying's request, the children's home rejected the child's application to continue living in Che Linwan's home.
But Song Ruying did not pick up Cai Lemi, but continued to let her stay in the children's home.
Che Linwan knew that he was waiting for feedback from his relatives in the United States.
Lemi bit her lip tightly when she was sent back. Che Linwan said goodbye behind her back, but she didn't look back.
At that moment, Che Linwan didn't want to rationally imagine the child's position.
Even from her own perspective, she would feel betrayed.
Not to mention a child.
Che Linwan asked Song Ruying if he couldn't let the child live in his house temporarily.
Song Ruying's answer was very sincere, "I still have two children at home, and I can't watch my children being ruined by her mentality."
This was the instinct of a father, and Che Linwan couldn't even say a word to refute it.
[I'm not going, I have other things to do.]
[Do you want me to pick her up?]
[Don’t you have anything to do of your own?]
The other end was silent for a long time before replying with three words, [Got it.]
