Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

03

They were standing a little distance away from the two boys.

But the male lead and the big villain seemed to have sensed something. They were looking straight up at Zhong Yuhuan. There were moisture in their eyes and a hint of hopefulness, waiting patiently for her to pick one of them to bring home.

Zhong Yuhuan calmed down quickly and thought about the background and growing up of both the male lead and the big villain as well as their accomplishments later on.

One of these two would become a superstar in show biz!

The other one would turn into a powerful business man!

Either one of them will be able to protect this little female supporting character to live out her life safely!

So, which one should she choose?

Zhong Yuhuan licked her lips nervously.

The most powerful two characters from the entire book...

If she picked the male lead, she would for sure became the enemy of the big villain in the future.

Big villain was ruthless, and she was but a little female supporting character. She was not protected by the female lead halo. What if the male lead wasn't able to protect her when the time comes...

But if she picked the big villain now, the male lead was the one with the halo. He was destined to become the ultimate winner.

Her siding with the big villain could not end well for her.

"Miss Zhong, perhaps we can have them come and talk to you a little before you make a decision?" The middle-age woman seemed very concerned. She looked to be worried that Zhong Yuhuan would pick neither one of them.

"No, that won't be necessary," said Zhong Yuhuan lightly once she was able to catch her breath. "I will take both of them."

Little kids make decisions, adults, of course, would --- pick BOTH!

That's what you'd call insurance!

The middle-aged woman was dumbfounded for a little, then said ecstatically, ".... Yes! Sure! Just give me a minute! I will go fetch the documents for adoption right away!!"

When the middle-aged woman returned with the documents, there was a man returning with her.

Zhong Yuhuan searched in her memory for the identity of this man.

He was the secretary sent by her cousin to help with taking care of the details of the adoption. His last name was Cheng.

It took about 3 hours before all the documentation was filled out and processed and the two boys were adopted under the name of the original owner's maternal grandfather.

The staff members of the welfare agency quickly packed their stuff for them. There weren't a lot of items, just two backpacks, and one ugly knit bag.

The two boys still looked in a daze, probably because they didn't expect things to happen so quickly.

The middle-age woman saw them out. Wiping away her tears, she held Zhong Yuhuan's hands and said with reddened eyes and a choked voice, "Thank you, thank you, Miss Zhong. You are a good person. Good things will happen to good people and you will have a lucky life!"

"Thank you," said Zhong Yuhuan.

But deep down inside she let out a big sigh.

She certainly hoped what the middle-aged woman said would come true and that she would be able to live out the rest of her life in peace...

"Do you feel happier now, Miss?" asked Secretary Cheng.

Zhong Yuhuan nodded with hesitation.

Secretary Cheng seemed to have let out a sigh of relief and said, "I am glad to hear that, Miss. Old Mr. Ding was genuinely worried about you."

Secretary Cheng's words jotted memories belonging to the original owner.

Original owner's mother married Zhong Chi, original owner's father, for the sake of business partnership. After they were married, Zhong Chi cheated on his wife time after time. Pictures of him meeting up with his lovers at night made the media all the time. Original owner's mother never had the best of health and finally fell ill from being upset all the time from all the scandals and eventually fallen from her illness.

Her mother had always been sickly and fragile and wasn't able to care for her, and her father cared about her even less.

And that was how the original owner went down the path of a rebellious girl.

After the death of her mother, the original owner's grandfather was so upset that he transposed all his love for his daughter onto his granddaughter.

In the original book, that was exactly how the original owner was spoiled rotten and because a useless person by her grandfather. Finally, she was used as a pawn by someone else, offended the female lead, and finally met her untimely and tragic end.
