Chapter 1695: Chapter 1111: Dispute

First watch is here.

"Do you even need to ask?" Lan Ailian gave a bitter smile, "What man doesn’t hope his bloodline will continue perpetually? Even if the other says he doesn’t mind, how can you truly believe it?"

"Isn’t that too presumptuous of you to say, Mom? Or..." biting her lip, Yun Doudou looked at her own mother in disappointment, "is it that you care too much about this matter, and in your heart, are Guoguo and I just inconsequential?"

"Child, how could you think that way?" Lan Ailian looked at her daughter helplessly, "Don’t you understand whether I care about you and Guoguo or not?"

"I don’t understand..." Yun Doudou shook her head, "I used to think I did, but what you said just now made me doubt my judgment.

Mom always used to say women hold up half the sky, and sons and daughters are the same, but now it clearly sounds like you think sons and daughters are completely different."

"Doudou, why do you always have to split hairs and get into a corner?" Lan Ailian sighed helplessly, "What I mean is, for your dad, having a grandson with his surname is very important, whether he admits it or not, that’s a fact.

We live in this society, and we can’t just isolate ourselves from it. Our love for daughters and sons is the same, but our expectations are certainly different.

If I demanded that Huhu be named Yun, would the Zhou family agree? But if you were a son, we could reasonably demand that Huhu must be named Yun, that’s the difference.

Indeed, whether the name is Yun is superficial; when he’s grown, he’ll be equally filial to us, but these superficial things matter to many people, and we can’t escape that."

"Mom, you’re the one who really minds, not Dad..." sighing, Yun Doudou looked earnestly at Lan Ailian, "You’re the one making things complicated; if you don’t believe it, you can ask Dad."

"Doudou, you still don’t understand men..." Lan Ailian gave a bitter smile, "If I asked your dad, he’d definitely say he doesn’t mind, but I still say, you can’t take what people say at face value."

"Having lived with Dad for so many years, don’t you even have that bit of trust in him?"

"It’s not a matter of trust; it’s..." Lan Ailian paused for quite a while, then shook her head, "Forget it, let’s not discuss these meaningless things. I just hope you understand that with or without a son, you and Guoguo are our precious children, and not having a grandson isn’t equal to us not loving our daughter, those are two separate things, let’s end this discussion, alright?"

"Okay..." Yun Doudou agreed. What else could she say? She knew Lan Ailian’s character very well. Once she was set on something, no one could change her mind unless one day she actually figured it out herself.

Furthermore, after hearing so much from Lan Ailian, she began to doubt her own conviction. Indeed, all families, whether ordinary or prominent, placed great importance on the continuation of bloodlines.

Couples like Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe were truly rare, but that didn’t mean they didn’t want a son. According to what was said before, if possible, they would have hoped to have a son too.

Perhaps she really expected too much; how could one demand that parents not care about such matters at all? Moreover, mom’s words indeed made sense, and at this thought, Yun Doudou looked apologetically at Lan Ailian: "Mom, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted your and Dad’s feelings for me and Guoguo..."

"Silly child..." Lan Ailian happily embraced her daughter, "I’m very happy you figured it out. Even if you didn’t, I wouldn’t blame you. If I hadn’t drunk, if I hadn’t met Aunt Yue, I wouldn’t have said these things.

Some truths, everyone actually knows, but once spoken, they can hurt feelings. In fact, when you think about it, what’s the use of saying them? Since life is arranged this way, it’s better to just accept it calmly.

Doudou, I promise you this is the last time; in the future, I won’t drink to this state again, and I definitely won’t lament because you and Guoguo are girls. Whether your dad minds or not, that’s his fate, and he’ll have to accept it!"

"Sigh..." Yun Doudou sighed with a smile, "In Mom’s heart, not having a son is indeed a huge regret. Listening to your words, that’s exactly what it sounds like."

"Silly girl, who wouldn’t mind such a thing? If you don’t believe me, try discussing it with Zhou Hanliang. Just say you want Huhu to take the Yun surname and see how he responds, hmph!" Lan Ailian rolled her eyes at her daughter, "If he agrees, I’ll walk a mile backwards!"

"Mom, it’s not that I don’t dare to bet with you, it’s just that having you walk a mile backwards seems impossible with your stature..." scrutinizing Lan Ailian from top to bottom, Yun Doudou shook her head and said nothing more.

"Oh, look at how confident you are. If you really have the nerve, write to Hanliang and say Huhu is a member of the old Yun family, and the next child, whether male or female, will have the Zhou surname. See how he replies.

Rest assured, your mom isn’t one to go back on her word. Walking backwards might be something I really can’t do, so let’s change the bet. If you win, I’ll listen to whatever you say."

"Really?"

"Of course, it’s true!"

"Everyone be a witness, okay?" Yun Doudou looked at the others seated and asked.

"Of course."

"I will definitely testify fairly too!"

"I count as one."

"Me too."

Chuxia took the lead, followed closely by Luo Xiaoqiong, Liu Meijun, and Zhang Erniu. Finally, Yun Doudou’s gaze fell on Zhao Yulan, who had no choice but to express her stance: "I’ll testify too."

"What about me?" Yun Guoguo raised her paw pitifully, "Can I testify too?"

"Of course." Yun Doudou reached out and hugged her sister’s shoulder, "If mom doesn’t follow the rules, then Guoguo and I will demand fairness from mom together!"

"Okay!" Yun Guoguo agreed readily, "I’ll listen to Doudou."

"Little traitor!" Lan Ailian jokingly scolded with a smile, while shaking her head humorously at her younger daughter, "Look at how smug you are. Alright, mom hopes you win, how’s one month?"

"Deal!" Yun Doudou raised her eyebrows, "Just wait for the day when I call the shots in our home!"

Lan Ailian: "..." She’s too smug, isn’t she? Still doesn’t understand men!

"Knock knock..."

A gentle knocking sound came, and Yun Guoguo looked to her sister for permission, "Go open the door then." On getting the go-ahead, Yun Guoguo happily ran to the door, the previous atmosphere was too tense, she didn’t like it!

"Hello, you’re Guoguo, right?"

Yun Guoguo hesitantly sized up the woman standing at the door, and then turned to look at Lan Ailian.

"Aishan, come on in." Lan Ailian waved at the woman with a smile, "I drank a bit too much, just came over to hide and be lazy. How come you found me, is there anything up?"

"Ailian..." Yue Aishan gently smiled at her, "I saw you drank a bit too much, so I asked around to find you here, just wanted to check on you. You couldn’t drink before, now not being careful at your age?"

"I’m happy..." Lan Ailian laughed, "I have a grandson now, became a grandma, truly overjoyed, couldn’t help but want to drink more. At times like this, alcohol is a medium for expressing excitement, but it made you worry, I’m really sorry."

"That’s great, my Little Jie is even older than Doudou, yet he still doesn’t have a girlfriend. You’ve already become a grandma..." Yue Aishan looked at Lan Ailian with envy, "Ailian, you really are fortunate, in this life, you are the person I envy the most."

"Hehe..." Lan Ailian laughed awkwardly, "Where’s Little Jie?"

"Outside..." Yue Aishan reached out to hold Lan Ailian’s hand, "I came over partly worrying you might have drunk too much, and secondly to say goodbye. Little Jie was locked outside and he asked around to find me here, so we need to head back together."

"Aunt Yue’s son is Qi Jie?" Yun Doudou finally caught up after Chuxia pinched her multiple times and quickly asked, "Did he return from the Capital City?"

"Yes..." Yue Aishan looked at Yun Doudou with surprise, "Doudou knows our Qi Jie?"

Yun Doudou nodded: "If he’s currently training at Medical University and is a doctor at People’s Hospital in our City A, then he should be the Qi Jie I know."

Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong simultaneously looked at Liu Meijun, thinking how coincidental this is—they just talked about introducing Qi Jie to Liu Meijun, and here he is!

"Since he’s here, why hurry back? Even though we count as friends, let Qi Jie’s brother come in and sit for a bit." Given this Qi Jie is indeed that Qi Jie, Yun Doudou instantly invited warmly, completely forgetting her mom’s earlier bitterness.

The daughter spoke, it would be rude for her not to say a word, so Lan Ailian squeezed out a smile: "Yes, since you’re here, let’s meet. I haven’t seen Little Jie in over a decade, probably won’t even recognize him now."

"Then..." Yue Aishan hesitated slightly before nodding, "I’ll go call him in."

"Look at her being smug, just for having a son..." After Yue Aishan walked away, Lan Ailian muttered quietly, then looked at her daughter, "Why are you calling him over?"

Oh! Her mom and Aunt Yue are rivals, aren’t they? She just forgot about that! Awkwardly looking at Lan Ailian, Yun Doudou smiled sheepishly: "Mom, if you don’t want to see him, go to the hall first, okay?"

"Why should I hide from him?" Lan Ailian frowned in displeasure, "If anyone should hide, it’d be him. Tell mom the reason, don’t forget you’re a mom now, can’t do anything that gives people grounds for gossip..." (To be continued.
