Chapter 204: Tomb-Sweeping Day (4)Translator: Sissy That Walk

Zeng Peizhong suddenly coughed after He Bai left the room, Di Qiuhe poured him a cup of warm water.
“Thank you.” Zeng Peizhong drank the water and looked at Di Qiuhe with a smile, “Di Bian must be a blind man, if you were my child, I would be a responsible father to you, taking care of you and training you become anything you’d like to become.”
Hearing that, Di Qiuhe felt slightly uncomfortable and he frowned.
“But I know I don’t deserve a good son like you.” Seeing Di Qiuhe’s expression, Zeng Peizhong added that, he changed the subject, “But I hope my child deserve good parents, my daughter will come to this world in five months, I’ve found a perfect family for her.”
“It’s a girl?” Di Qiuhe was surprised, he thought Zeng Peizhong would go for a boy.
“Father and daughter always share a special bond, right?” Zeng Peizhong smiled, just like any father when he thought about his own daughter, “Girls are the best, I’ll have a sum of money left for her, she could live a carefree life.”
Di Qiuhe’s eyebrows now unknitted.
He thought Zeng Peizhong had surrogated this baby because he was up to something, but now hearing what he just said, he merely wanted some hope in his life.
Di Qiuhe’s facial expression did not escape Zeng Peizhong, he explained, “I know what you are thinking, and to be honest, I was thinking the same thing when I was in the operation room, I actually surrogated two babies, a boy and a girl, but only the girl survived in the end, I thought it was destiny, it was meant to be… when I first saw the B-mode ultrasound image, I didn’t even know which dot was the baby, the doctor pointed it out for me, I just stared at it, and I just went blank, my mind was a total blank, I want my baby to grow up in a family with love, I want my baby to know the feeling of being loved.”
Di Qiuhe listened carefully, it suddenly occurred to him, if he had not met his puppy, he might be like Zeng Peizhong one day.
“The adopting family I looked for my daughter was a family of four, the couple has two boys, and they want a daughter, but they were told by the doctors that they couldn’t have kids any more.” Zeng Peizhong played with the cup in hand, he was feeling the warmth on the cup, then he continued, “The dad is a doctor, the mom is a dancer, a middle-class family yet full of love and support, I’m sure they will take good care of my daughter.”
“She will have two older brothers, parents who will treat her like a little princess, and loving grandparents as well as a pet.”
“Not a rich family, I don’t have to worry her siblings calculating on her, but they are not poor, they can afford a good education and a decent life for my daughter, and my daughter will have a right view on money in the family, she won’t do anything silly for money when she grows up.”
“She can be a dancer like her adopted mother, she will lead a healthy life under the protection of her father who is a doctor, and she has two brothers to scare the boys away.”
He kept saying from different perspectives why he chose this family, and his smile got deepened as he continued.
“However, you just never know even though you think you have made the right decision.” Zeng Peizhong said that in an indifferent voice, he produced two documents from the drawer, he looked at Di Qiuhe in the eye and said, “These are my assets, they are all yours as long as you sign here, in return, I need you to look after my daughter, make sure she is all right, if anything happens to her family, please help them out. I leave some extra money for her, can you please give it to her when she gets married and tell her that her biological father loves her and he did not abandon her.”
Di Qiuhe went silent then he asked, “Why me?”
“I trust no one but you.” Zeng Peizhong now flopped down on his wheelchair like a piece of wood, “You are the only one who lives like a human around me.”
This man looked like he came to his senses now, but it was too late, and now he had a new identity— father, he was doing everything he could to live up to that identity.
Even Zeng Peizhong was trying so hard to do everything for his daughter, why Di Bian couldn’t bother to do the same to Di Qiuhe! Di Qiuhe thought for a while, then he took the documents, he went through the clauses and signed.
Di Qiuhe was thinking he was doing this to make a dying man happy, it was his last wish after all. He was determined to look after that unborn girl.
Zeng Peizhong’s assistant walked in after he showed the guests the way out, he was taken aback seeing the documents on the table, “Boss, why did you… what if he betrays you?”
“No, he won’t, I have faith in him. Don’t suggest asking him and He Bai to adopt my daughter any more. This is for the best.”
Zeng Peizhong put aside the documents carefully, he touched the patched toy on the table and laughed, “I have done my all. Now it’s time to help my daughter’s secret guardian to clear his path.”
Seeing Zeng Peizhong’s crooked smile, his assistant lowered his head and muted himself.
