Chapter 1103

This holiday, Xu Jing came to the Meng family.

It's not enough for him to visit his grandson from the photo alone. He came here early this week when he was free, and had breakfast with Meng Huo and others.

Lisa was not seen in breakfast. When Xu Jing and others were attracted away by the crying children, Meng Huo asked Alice quietly, "where's your sister? Why don't you come for breakfast? "

"Don't worry. She's in the kitchen. She's not hungry." Alice answered absently as she watched the elders coax the children.

"Kitchen, what's she doing in the kitchen?"

"Learn to cook." When the child's cry was reduced, Alice looked back and explained to Meng Huo.

Lisa is adding the knowledge she needs for her new cartoon. She will run to the kitchen when she is free. In this compound, although Li Qin often interferes in cooking, the Meng family's cooks are also very good cooks.

The old lady's taste is light. However, in order to satisfy the different tastes of Meng Huo and Alice, she has attracted many schools of cooks. If Lisa wants to know this knowledge, it's faster to ask these people directly than to read a book.

However, although he understood the purpose of Lisa's going to the kitchen, her behavior still made him feel very bad: "why did she go there early in the morning? Your father finally came here, and she didn't come out to see her."

He thought Lisa was rude, but Alice's subsequent words surprised her.

"I told her not to come out."

"Ha?" Meng Huo looked at Alice in surprise: "you, why?"

For this question, Alice did not answer, actually because Lisa and she look the same, she appeared in front of Xu Jing. It seems that she is exposing that Alice is not his own daughter. She doesn't want Xu Jing to think that way.

"You have to prepare the script. I'll entertain my father. You can go to work later." Alice drank and said to Meng Huo.

Meng Huo nodded. After breakfast, he got up and left.

It's rare for Xu Jing to come here. Meng Huo really wants to have a chat with him, but he has spent a lot of energy on Qin Yaxin's comics this week. He has delayed the animation script for a long time, so it's not good to hurry up to prepare this holiday.

Meng Huo went to work and the old lady went to work after breakfast. Li Qin and Alice's mother stayed in the living room for half an hour, and then went shopping together.

Only Alice and Xu Jing are left in the living room.

"Your mother deliberately gave me time." Xu Jing saw that when his wife and Li Qin left, he gave up time to himself and his grandson. When they were there, he couldn't save face.

After they left, Xu Jing happily picked up his grandson, and his serious image disappeared completely.

"You see, this boy looks like Meng Huo."

"Jill seems to like you very much."

Alice giggled. Strange to say, the child who always cried when he was hugged by strangers was blinking curiously in Xu Jing's hands.

"Yeah, ha ha... I can see that too. This little guy must have recognized me." Xu Jing held up the baby and said with a smile, "good boy, call grandfather quickly!"

"Dad, he can't talk yet."

"It's hard to say..." Xu Jing teased the baby excitedly and said: "he looks so similar to Meng Huo. At first sight, he is a smart guy. His father can do anything, and he must be a genius."

Xu Jing seemed to really think that the child might be able to speak and happily taught him for a long time - but of course, Meng Jie didn't have the power to create miracles like his father. Xu Jing spent a long time talking. As a result, he not only didn't ask for his grandfather, but also scared him to cry.

Alice took over the child and coaxed him for ten minutes.

After the little guy finished crying, he fell asleep. Xu Jing had a dry eye, but he couldn't play with his grandson.

"Forget it, the child grows fast. In two years, he will call me grandfather." After seeing Alice put Mengjie in the cradle, he asked, "Alice, are you going to have another one?"

"..." Alice was stunned, and then nodded, "in a few years, I'll give you and your mother the name of the second child."

Xu Jing poured a cup of tea: "is it painful to have a baby?"

"Ordinary..." Alice said insincerely. It was really painful, but she couldn't say it. A few years ago, she decided to give the Xu family at least a successor.

"What does Meng Huo say?" Xu Jing asked again.

"I told him." Alice replied, "he has no problem.""Well... The boy is kind, and I guess he will say so." Xu Jing picked up the cup and drank tea with a smile on his face: "you and Meng Huo care too much about me. But Alice... You don't have to... "

"What?"

"You don't have to have another child." Looking at the baby in the cradle, Xu Jing said, "I like Meng Jie very much. It's enough to have a grandson of him. You don't have to think about the Xu family any more."

Alice stood up in surprise. "Dad, what are you talking about? How can this be done?"

"I've thought it over." Xu Jing sighed and said in a slow voice, "even if you have another child and let him follow my family name, he will not be happy when he grows up. Maybe he will hate me!"

The status and status of the Xu and Meng children are not equal. Although Meng Huo has no opinion, the surname Xu may affect the future of the children. Xu Jing doesn't want his grandson to feel that he is a bad grandfather and has left him too little.

It's better not to have that grandson than to have this kind of problem in the future. It's good to have a Meng Jie now, but there won't be much right and wrong in the future.

"Dad Alice looked angry and was about to say something, but suddenly there was a voice. Li Qin and her mother just came back from outside, so she had to stop talking.

"What are you talking about?"

"Is Jill asleep again?"

Two women came in with a smile. Alice looked back at Xu Jing, then grabbed her mother and took her out.

"What's the matter, Alice?" The blonde was startled.

"Dad said not to have a second child." Not far from the drawing room, Alice turned to her mother and said, "Mom, go and persuade him."

The woman shook her head: "what can I do to persuade you? Isn't it good?"

"Ma!" Alice opened her eyes wide. "That's not what you used to say - you knew that a long time ago, did you?"

"He told me last month." The woman replied, "I think it's good. It's not hard for you to do it in the future."

"But Dad, he always..."

"He always wanted a grandson to inherit the fragrance of the Xu family, right?" The woman asked. When she saw Alice nodding, she shook her head. "It's not like that. Your father is stupid... We always feel that we owe him. That's why we want a child named Xu."

"But you are not his child after all..." the woman sighed in a low voice: "the child you gave birth to is Xu, which has nothing to do with your father..."

"Mom, how can you say that!" Alice looked at her mother strangely. "You've never been like this!"

What a woman says is taboo. It's taboo between them. In the past, Alice was rebellious. When she was a child, she would say that she was not Xu Jing's child. Every time, her mother would beat her hard.

It is true that Alice and Xu Jing are not related by blood, but in the eyes of women, Alice should recognize the father. Especially in the eyes of many outsiders, Xu Jing is like a fool, raising a daughter who has nothing to do with him.

Alice's mother is very concerned about this. Whenever someone talks about Xu Jing behind her back, it's her who gets hurt most, and then it's Alice and Xu Jing.

The woman's guilt about Xu Jing has been going on for decades. She has never given Xu Jing to their children. Alice is watching such a mother grow up, so her view of Xu Jing is different from that of other children's father.

Xu Jing is her father, but also her and her mother's benefactor - although rarely in the face, but Alice has always been benefactor and father's dual view of Xu Jing.

Like her mother, she cares about the affairs of the Xu family. So what she did to Meng Huo a few years ago, in the final analysis, is not for herself, but for Xu Jing.

She wants a child. Even if she has no blood relationship, she also hopes that the child can inherit the fragrance of the Xu family. This is something Alice thinks she must do in her life.

Now, however, Xu Jing suddenly said that she didn't need to use it. It was like cutting off the chance of repaying her kindness. Alice was at a loss.

"When you are stubborn, your temper is the same as Meng Huo..." the woman looked at her daughter and said with a smile, "your father said no, then no."

"It doesn't matter whether your surname is Xu or not. Your surname is Xu, too. But people call you Alice. When did your father mind?" The woman said, "the name is just a mark. In the future, you often take jie'er to Ninghai to show us. That's enough."

Alice shook her head. "That's not what Dad wants!"

"What he wants is very simple. From childhood to adulthood, he has always regarded you as his own daughter. He doesn't ask for you, as long as you are happy...""I know, I know he'll think of me." Alice shook her head. "But it's not the problem. He's been sitting for us so much that we have to repay him..."

"You are wrong." The woman reached for Alice's hand and said, "guilt and gratitude are just wishful thinking of the two of us. Your father doesn't care about these things as much as we think."

"Wishful thinking?"

"Well, wishful thinking... My mother didn't know it until recently." The woman looked sweet and said, "before jay was born, I discussed this matter with your father. I want you to have a second child. Your father didn't agree. He was very angry with me."

"He doesn't care about this. If he cares about his own blood, he doesn't have to be with us for so many years. There are many women out there to choose from."

"So..." the woman said softly, "what he wants is to make our family happy. We two want to repay him by giving his child the surname of Xu, but for him, it's a Wu disgrace."

"Wu

"Isn't it? He treats us as family members, but we treat him as benefactor. It's not a disgrace. What is it? " The woman said with a smile, "family members don't think about guilt and reward."

"..." Alice was silent. "Is that what Dad said?"

"Yes." The woman nodded: "he said that... He said that as long as we stay with him, he will be very happy, other things are not important."

The woman's voice was very low, but Alice could hear it, and her mother was very happy.

"I never thought of him as a benefactor, not as a family member..." Alice drew back her hand and said, "in my heart, his number one job is always dad."

"I know..." the woman nodded. "Me too - so, do it as you want. Don't care what he or I think."

"I know how to do it."

Alice knew what she was going to do. She said goodbye to her mother and went to the old lady's room - telling her that she wanted to give the child to two families.

"Raised by two families?" The old lady was very curious: "what does that mean?"

"... I want this child to go to school in Ninghai in the future..."

Alice explained that she wanted to give the child to two families to raise together. Before going to school, he could be in Meng's home, primary school in Ninghai, junior high school or Suhua - the two of them would discuss and work together to raise the child.

"So..." the old lady frowned: "I asked, if Meng Jie goes to school in Ninghai, can I send someone to take care of him?"

"Of course." Alice is a little nervous. She doesn't have the idea of dividing her child's life into several parts. She just lives in different places, but no matter where she lives, the other party can take care of him.

"I said yes." The old lady nodded.

"Grandma..."

Alice was surprised and looked at the old lady unexpectedly. She thought that the old lady would monopolize the custody of her great grandson when it came to the Meng family. Alice was ready to be rejected, but she didn't expect that the old lady would be so open-minded.

In this case, Alice can follow Xu Jing's advice and ignore the second child. If the old lady refuses, she will have another one.

"This girl... This is the first time to show this kind of expression in front of me..."

Looking at Alice's expression full of emotion and excitement, the old lady's heart is also very funny. Of course, she is open-minded. She knows about the Xu family. To put it bluntly, Alice wants her great grandchildren to have a good relationship with his grandparents.

The old lady didn't care.

After all, Alice is Xu Jing's only daughter. The Xu family has no influence, just one. Even if Meng Jie has deep feelings for the Xu family when he grows up, he will not conflict with the Meng family.

This is one of the reasons why the old lady likes Alice and Shen Jie. They are only children, and their family environment is simple. There is no conflict of interests. No matter how the children are raised in the future, they will still be Meng family when they grow up
