I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1045: The Elders' Worries

After lunch, the brother and sister went home.

After sending Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying away, Qian Jiazhen looked worried.

Zeng Jiahua certainly knew why his wife was worried. To be honest, his wife's concerns were not unfounded. His nephew, Huang Xiaochuan, was no ordinary tycoon; the wealth he controlled was truly astonishing.

Therefore, Zeng Jiahua was cautious about this suddenly appearing abandoned baby. What's more, that girl Huang Ruiying actually wanted her father to adopt the abandoned baby. What a joke!

Therefore, he felt he needed to express his stance on this matter. After all, he treated this nephew like his own son, and the nephew was very filial to him. He couldn't ignore such an important matter concerning the inheritance of his nephew's wealth.

He frowned and told his wife his worries: "Xiao Chuan's identity is now common knowledge. If we raise a child of unknown origin at home, who knows how many people will gossip behind our backs."

Zeng Jiahua's words resonated with Qian Jiazhen: "Exactly! This is no small matter. It's not that we're heartless, but this whole thing is just too suspicious. Who are the child's biological parents? Why did they abandon him? Does he have any health problems? We haven't figured these things out, how can we just leave him at home like this?"

Zeng Jiahua was a little irritated. He lit a cigar and then said, "Even if the child is healthy, raising a child is not like raising a cat or a dog. It's a lifelong commitment. Xiao Chuan already has his own children, and he and Yu Xiang are both busy with their careers. How can they have the energy to take care of another one? Who will take care of this child then? Won't they just leave him with a nanny? When he grows up, what will he think if he finds out he was adopted? There are too many things involved."

Qian Jiazhen remained silent. It was indeed the case. If they really adopted the child, there would be a lot of trouble in the future. She didn't know what her sister-in-law thought, and she felt it was necessary to talk to her sister-in-law about it.

In fact, Zeng Lijuan still doesn't know about this.

Huang Xiaochuan felt there was no need to specifically tell them about it. It was just a temporary arrangement to take care of them for a few days, and he could just let them know afterward or casually mention it when he went over on the weekend.

Zeng Jiahua took a puff of his cigar and then stubbed it out in the ashtray.

"I'll talk to Xiaochuan later. It's better to deal with this matter as soon as possible. If the police can't find the family that abandoned the child in a short time, then send him to an orphanage as soon as possible. Don't leave him at home and let him get away with it. If he develops feelings for the child, it will be a real problem."

Zeng Jiahua, having lived for over sixty years, understands human nature all too well. He knows that even humans, who are not plants or trees, can be without feelings. Let alone people, even raising a cat or dog evokes feelings.

Therefore, this matter needs to be resolved quickly and cannot be delayed.

Qian Jiazhen also felt that her husband's words made sense.

"Then you go and say it, I won't go. I can't bring myself to say anything harsh when I see Xiao Chuan."

Zeng Jiahua nodded: "Okay, you don't need to go."

Huang Xiaochuan never expected that his uncle would come to his office specifically to see him about this matter. You should know that his uncle had come to this office twice before, including this time.

After learning the purpose of his uncle's visit, Huang Xiaochuan smiled and comforted him.

"I thought it was something serious. You could have just called me and I would have come to see you. Why did you come all this way in person?" Then Huang Xiaochuan casually asked his uncle, Zeng Jiahua, "What kind of tea do you want?"

Zeng Jiahua waved his hand dismissively: "By the way."

Soon, a cup of tea was placed in front of Zeng Jiahua.

Zeng Jiahua didn't rush to drink his tea, but instead asked, "Where is the child now? Is he at your house?"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "Yu Xiang took her back to her parents' home this morning, and she should be taken to the hospital for a check-up now."

Zeng Jiahua then said, "Don't believe everything the police say. What if they can't find out who abandoned the child? Or what if the investigation takes a long time? Will the child just stay at your house forever?"

Huang Xiaochuan patiently explained, "Uncle, the police said that if they really can't find it, they will contact the welfare home to come and pick it up."

Zeng Jiahua raised her question: "Then why can't we let the orphanage staff come and pick her up now?"

These words left Huang Xiaochuan speechless. How could he put it? That he had acted out of momentary weakness?

Seeing his nephew's troubled expression, Zeng Jiahua decided not to say anything more.

Her tone softened: "I know you're kind-hearted and can't bear to see such a young child suffer like that, but you need to think this through. The police still don't know where this child came from, and she doesn't seem to have any health problems. If you leave her at home like this, and something happens, it'll be hard to explain."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded, knowing that his uncle was saying this for his own good.

Zeng Jiahua was satisfied with his nephew's attitude and continued, "Besides, what is your status now? There's suddenly a little child in the family. What will outsiders think if they find out? They'll definitely assume you've been doing this or that outside."

Hearing his uncle's words, Huang Xiaochuan was both amused and exasperated.

However, he had to admit that his uncle's words made sense. As a social celebrity, he was already under a lot of attention. If the media or paparazzi found out, it would be quite a spectacle, and rumors would definitely fly everywhere.

But he still comforted his uncle: "It's okay, it won't be for more than a few days. The police won't drag their feet. Don't worry about that. Once the police have the results, whether they find the child or not, they'll send him to an orphanage if necessary, or to the police station if necessary."

Zeng Jiahua's expression softened a little after hearing his nephew's words.

"Alright then, you can have someone urge the police to hurry up and investigate, and not drag it out."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and nodded: "I know."

Huang Xiaochuan escorted his uncle all the way to the underground parking garage. Only after his uncle got into his car and drove away did Huang Xiaochuan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When I got home that evening, I saw my two children playing with the little guy we had found, while the nanny stood by watching.

Not seeing Yu Xiang, Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Where's your mother?"

Upon seeing their father return, Huang Ruiying quickly said, "My mother is taking a shower upstairs; she'll be coming down soon."

He glanced at the little guy again: "Have the test results come back from the hospital this afternoon?"

Huang Ruiying answered first again: "I went, and my mom said she's very healthy and has no problems at all."

"Oh!" Huang Xiaochuan nodded to indicate that he understood. He walked over to the little guy and looked at him. He seemed to have eaten and drunk his fill and was now full of energy. He was looking around, but he couldn't really see anything clearly. He could only hear sounds and see lights.
