Mrs. Gao came to question Gao Lan.
"So, are you having this family recognition banquet or not? The new year is just around the corner. Are you telling me you’re going to hold it after the holidays?"
"The Qin family won’t allow it," Gao Lan said, her face dark.
She and Qin Wenze hadn’t spoken in days.
’Just thinking about it was agonizing.’
As soon as Mrs. Gao heard this, she couldn’t help but raise her voice. "What right does the Qin family have to stop it? What family adopts a child without hosting at least a few tables for a banquet?"
The only ones who don’t are the families so poor they can’t even put food on the table.
And the Qin family—they’re a prominent, well-respected family, after all.
How could they forbid a recognition banquet for something as important as adopting a child?
"His family doesn’t want to acknowledge Yao Hui. Our adopting Yao Hui is our own affair. Qin Wenze said that if we’re going to have one, it has to be here at home. Otherwise, we don’t have one at all. Besides, he and I have been fighting over this for days."
Gao Lan only dared to cause a fuss because she was banking on the guilt Qin Wenze felt toward her.
’If it really came down to divorcing Qin Wenze—that was absolutely out of the question.’
’Never mind Qin Wenze’s excellent prospects, his good job, and his high salary.’
’And given that she couldn’t have any more children—if she divorced him, could she ever hope to marry a man better than Qin Wenze?’
’Ha, if she were as beautiful as Fu Mingxue, maybe she could actually find someone better than Qin Wenze and his family.’
’Unfortunately, her looks were, at best, merely pleasant.’
’As for her other qualities—she had nothing else that was particularly outstanding.’
As she thought about all this, a wave of panic washed over Gao Lan.
’If she and Qin Wenze keep up this silent treatment, he won’t start having second thoughts, will he?’
Right then, Mrs. Gao’s expression was indescribably foul.
She was utterly disgusted with her daughter.
’She couldn’t even manage to secure her own husband’s heart.’
