Recently Dumped by Gold-Digger, Goddess Asked Me to Sign a Birth Consent Form

Chapter 149: Chapter 121: I Forgot My Cousin Because of My Poor Memory!_1

Moreover, he was already aware of his two sons’ affairs.

He was very disappointed!

He hadn’t expected his children to act like such parents.

Utterly foolish!

So, he decided to stop meddling in the affairs of those two sons altogether; after all, he couldn’t manage them now even if he wanted to, so he might as well leave them be.

They were already in their thirties and forties. It was time for them to face the consequences of their actions.

Bai Zhentian would no longer concern himself with those unfilial sons.

After all, Bai Susu was his granddaughter, and he, the old man, had the final say in everything.

If anyone dared to contradict him, ha!

Especially Bai Susu’s parents, who had long since lost the right to control her.

What’s more, as for that dowry money.

Hadn’t they seen how Ye Fan thought about acquiring the fine Bai Corporate Group and returning it to him? With such a grand gesture, did he really care about the amount of the dowry money?

Besides, he hadn’t even accepted it.

He had money!

Although the company was no longer his, Bai Zhentian certainly wouldn’t be poverty-stricken, begging for food.

After all, the company was only a part of his assets.

He owned vineyards as well.

Not to mention, he was truly satisfied with a grandson-in-law like Ye Fan.

Just look: if you wanted looks, he had looks, if brains, brains, if character, character. Anything desired, he had. Such a fine grandson-in-law was hard to find, even with a lantern.

In the end, Bai Group was still managed by Bai Susu.

Originally, he had wanted Bai Susu to be groomed as his successor, and now, it was almost a reality.

Bai Zhentian was a progressive man, not an old stubborn mule with outdated thoughts.

In today’s society, every minute, every second, things are changing, and it’s better for one’s thoughts to be a little forward-thinking.

Only in this way can one avoid falling behind.

“Alright then, since we are forgoing the dowry, there will be no dowry. We will listen to you,” Ye Dong, Ye Fan’s father, said.

Although he was surprised by Old Master Bai’s approach, he quickly accepted it.

After all, having seen through so much of the world’s affairs, it made sense for the old master to have such thoughts.

What matters for the young couple isn’t the dowry; what’s important is their resolve to stay together for life and their hope for the future.

Moreover, both families were now on near equal footing, which was tantamount to being well-matched. Both families were enlightened and wouldn’t nitpick over every little thing in the future.

“Old Master, I’m afraid of Susu being wronged. You know, Susu has already suffered a lot for the sake of our family’s Ye Fan,” Mother Ye couldn’t help but speak up at this point.

Indeed!

Before this, Susu had endured so much for the sake of the children, silent and uncomplaining.

Now, with the marriage at hand and no dowry, she feared others might look down upon her, gossiping behind her back.

Moreover, there were still the children to consider. If there was no dowry at all, would others devalue Susu in the future?

She liked Susu very much and didn’t want her to be subjected to gossip and slander.

“Auntie, actually, I’m fine; I really don’t care about the dowry. Besides, my grandfather’s company was in crisis, and Ye Fan helped by acquiring the company. However, he let me manage it,” Bai Susu said.

Indeed!

Without Ye Fan, Bai Group would have changed hands long ago.

Now that she could manage it herself, she was very thankful to Ye Fan.

Although Grandfather always said that he no longer cared about Bai Corporate Group, it was, after all, his labor of love. He did care a little, after all.

“It’s not about the dowry, you silly child. I’m just afraid you’ll be criticized later on,” Mother Ye said, looking at Bai Susu. She knew Susu was still just a child.

For this reason, she was even less willing to let others pick on Bai Susu and gossip about her in the future.

A wedding happens only once; it has to be done properly.

“I think we should do this: the dowry will be Bai Group, as Susu is managing it now anyway. Let’s treat it as the dowry,” Old Master Bai contemplated and then said.

This was the first time a company had served as a dowry.

Moreover, everyone already knew that Bai Corporate Group had been acquired by Ye Fan.

Although it was Bai Susu who was preparing to operate it, the true CEO was still Ye Fan.

It seemed perfect to use it as the dowry.

That way, his granddaughter could manage it openly and with dignity, and the dowry issue would be resolved.

After all, they were essentially one family, so it would still belong to them.

They just had to announce it when the time came.

Doing so would also let everyone know how much they cherished each other.

After all, watching others dine on dog food was not an exclusive experience for just the few of them.

The more people who could join in, the better.

As Old Master Bai thought this, he grew even more resolute in his heart.

“Not bad, I agree!” Ye Dong was the first to declare his stance.

He had read about Bai Group’s issues in the newspapers, which made quite a stir.

He had not expected his son to be so outstanding.

Truly, he lived up to being the son of Ye Dong.

“This is good, I agree too!” Mother Ye said with a laugh.

Taking a company worth hundreds of billions as a dowry was unprecedented.

His daughter-in-law was up to the mark.

His daughter-in-law naturally deserved the best of everything.

Now, wasn’t that what was happening?

“Thank you, Auntie, Uncle, and Grandfather for your concern about me!” Bai Susu said, somewhat embarrassed.

These people truly care about themselves, considering things for their own sake in every possible way.

Bai Susu really felt that this was the family harmony she wanted.

“I agree too,” Ye Fan said, holding Bai Susu’s small hand tightly, his face filled with smiles.

What a great idea!

He liked it very much too!

All he wanted was to give Bai Susu the best and most unique wedding.

After the discussion was over, everyone started chatting about other things, or began playing with the children.

By nine o’clock in the evening, the children were tired from playing and were carried upstairs to sleep.

“Grandfather, you’ve been sitting in the car all day; please go upstairs and rest now. Your body has only just recovered, and you shouldn’t overwork yourself or rest too late,” Bai Susu said, her eyes filled with concern.

The grandfather had just recovered from a serious illness and after sitting in the car all day, he must have felt sore all over. Yet, he was here discussing their wedding matters, truly laboring both mentally and physically.

Bai Susu felt very heartbroken for him.

“My body is still strong, no worries. Am I not just happy to see my in-laws!” Bai Zhentian said with a smile.

Right now, he felt energetic and not tired at all.

“Alright, Grandfather, please go rest,” Ye Fan also said.

“Yes, it’s late, and you’ve been sitting in the car all day; you must be tired. Go rest early, and we can talk more tomorrow,” Ye Dong chimed in.

Looking at Bai Zhentian, with his white hair, and how he still worried about the two children, it was truly moving.

Bai Zhentian was really quite remarkable.

“Grandfather, go rest now,” Ye Fan said again.

“You should rest too, both of the children are worried about you. We can talk more tomorrow,” Mother Ye said with a smile.

“Alright then, I’ll go rest. You all should rest early too. If there’s anything, we can talk tomorrow,” Old Master Bai said, standing up and walking towards the stairs.

The child really has filial piety.

He had deeply felt it.

Indeed, if you’re not family, you won’t come through the same door.

The family all appeared so harmonious and treated others with such sincerity.

For his granddaughter to marry into such a family was her good fortune.

When she was young, she didn’t fully appreciate the love of her parents; now, experiencing such kindness from her future in-laws, it felt like another kind of maternal love.

“Alright, you all should go rest as well,” Mother Ye said to Bai Susu.

“These past few days, you must have been through a lot. You look a bit thinner and worn out. Ah, child, from now on this is your home. You can talk to us about anything that makes you unhappy, don’t tough it out alone,” Mother Ye said gently, touching Bai Susu’s head.

She had heard about it before.

After all, she would call her son from time to time to check in.

Her son had told her.

Ah, she really felt for Bai Susu.

Who would have thought to encounter such parents?

The child has suffered.

Anyway, Bai Susu is now her daughter-in-law and also her daughter. She would definitely treat her even better in the future.

“It’s okay, I will remember that!” Bai Susu’s eyes glistened with tears. At this moment, recalling everything from the past, she felt truly distressed.

Yet, she held back her tears.

“You’re such a silly girl. Ye Fan is my child, and you are my child too. You both are my good children. Don’t be so hard on yourself in front of me. If you want to cry, cry. I know you are strong and keep your suffering to yourself,” Mother Ye said to Bai Susu, her voice filled with helplessness.

The child was always like this.

“Thank you, I will remember that. I’m really happy to soon have such a wonderful mother like you!” Bai Susu said, hugging Mother Ye.

Yes!

Soon, Mother Ye will be her mother!

How wonderful!

“What a silly child!” Mother Ye said, holding Bai Susu and speaking slowly.

Ye Fan looked at this scene and smiled slightly.

How wonderful!

There’s always talk about difficult mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, but in his home, they got along really well.

His mother truly treated Bai Susu as her own daughter.

Father Ye nodded at Ye Fan.

~~

“Alright, time to rest. I’m heading to my room to sleep too!” Ye Fan stood up, stretched, and walked towards the upstairs.

Tonight, Mother Ye and Bai Susu were sleeping together, mainly to help look after the children.

The children had grown quite a bit, making care for them a bit more challenging.

Upon entering, they saw the room filled with photos of the babies, large pictures hung above the headboard of the bed, which were said to be extremely lovely!

“The photos were just lying there, so I thought I’d hang them up,” Mother Ye said.

They had seen the babies’ full-month photos when they came, and now, they had been hung up.

“They’ve been back for a while. I just didn’t know where to hang them, hadn’t picked the right spot, and always forgot because I was busy. But they look really good now!” Bai Susu said, her cheeks brimming with surprise.

“By the way, your cousin went home,” Mother Ye spoke up at that moment.

“Oh no, I totally forgot about that. My memory is terrible, I completely forgot about my cousin,” Bai Susu became somewhat annoyed.

Wasn’t it so!

When she returned, she felt something was off, but couldn’t put her finger on it.

Now that Aunt Ye mentioned it, she immediately remembered.

She had forgotten her cousin!
