Chapter 1046 - Ambitious Plan to Have a Child
1046 Ambitious Plan to Have a Child
Qiao Nan decided that she would change her way of living. “I contacted my master before I went out this morning. I want to continue to work as a translator and earn extra money. I will also ask my master to help me with the books that I want to buy in the future.”
Qiao Nan sorted out her thoughts after what had happened yesterday. She was no longer hopeful that Qiao Dongliang would change. She decided to rid herself of the shackles that she had given herself and do as she had planned.
“That’s good. It is not easy to find someone sincere in helping you.” Zhai Hua drove the car while patting Qiao Nan, who sat on the passenger seat. “Perhaps you owe it to Qiao Zijin for sorting out your thoughts. In the past, you were too stubborn because of your dad and I could tell that it was very tiring on you.”
Since she was engaged to Zhai Sheng, they were one family.
There was no need to be so calculative among family members.
Besides, Qiao Nan was a college student and she did not have any job. She had no means of earning money. Qiao Nan should not stand on ceremony with the money that her elders gave her. She should go ahead and use them, spending on whatever she needed. It was wrong of her to reject their kind intentions.
It was too tiring!
“One has to go through sufferings to be able to sort out one’s thoughts.” Qiao Nan had no qualms about saying that. “Have you brought enough money today?” Since she had sorted out her thoughts, Zhai Hua must be prepared to spend a bomb today.
Zhai Hua was amused. “My goodness. My family may not be very rich, but we can still support you. Besides, I made a small fortune recently. You can buy whatever you want.”
Zhai Hua’s childhood friends helped Wei De along in his business and made a small fortune from it.
Wei De’s company declared bankruptcy and he was left with nothing but an empty shell. But it was not the same for Zhai Hua.
Zhai Hua was finally rid of Wei De. Back then, Zhai Hua was the one who came up with the capital for Wei De to start his company.
Zhai Hua’s childhood friends were true friends indeed. They helped Zhai Hua teach Wei De a lesson and returned all the money that they made through Wei De to Zhai Hua.
The amount of money that Zhai Hua had was much more than the amount that she gave Wei De in the first place.
Zhai Hua did not refuse the money. She treated this as a successful investment. She would take it that she had earned the extra money.
In the past, Zhai Hua would reject the offer when her childhood friends invited her to join them in their businesses.
Right now, Zhai Hua felt that it was a good idea for women to earn some money. Anyway, she was just dabbling in it and her childhood friends would guide her along. It would not be a big problem.
Zhai Hua learned two things from Wei De’s incident. Firstly, she had authority. Secondly, she had money.
She had the two most important things that Wei De and most of the people in the world coveted. Therefore, she must grab hold of them.
Men were unreliable. She would rely on herself!
“I will pay for whatever that you want today. But Qiao Nan, should you not repay the favor?” Zhai Hua played with her hair that had been cut short.
There was a sparkle in Qiao Nan’s eyes. “How do you want me to return the favor?”
“Phew…” Zhai Hua let out a breath. She looked serious. “I am not young anymore. I will be turning thirty soon. My mom said that there is a golden period for having children. Besides, I am sick and I suffered from a lot of injuries. I suppose my golden period of having children will be shorter than the average woman. Don’t laugh at me. I am not being timid. I am not afraid of looking for another man despite the bad experience with Wei De. I am too picky. Otherwise, I would not have met Wei De.”
Because of what happened with Wei De, Zhai Hua was worried that she would be choosier in the future.
When she was not being very choosy, Wei De was the only man that she liked. She did not find other men pleasing to the eye.
If she was even choosier in the future, Zhai Hua was worried that when she reached forty or fifty years old, she might still be single. What should she do then?
She might finally find someone she liked, but she would be too old to have children.
“Do you… want a child?”
“Yes.” To avoid that situation, Zhai Hua felt that it would be better for her to have a child first. “I have thought about it. I really like children. My parents will be more assured if I have a child.”
Her parents could be assured if she had a child that belonged to herself. It was the best of both worlds.
“So?” Qiao Nan turned quiet. She had thought about this in her previous life.
She was close to forty years old when she died.
Qiao Nan’s eyes turned red at the thought of her age.
She had the same idea as Sister Zhai Hua. Unfortunately, she did not do anything about it. She did not have the money to do it. There was no way for her to have her own child.
“You should know that I don’t have many ideas and I always stay in the camp. I don’t know much about this. I would like you to help me come up with a way. It is alright to be without a man, but I don’t want to be without a child.” Zhai Hua seemed to be weary.
Qiao Nan pursed her lips. “Sister Zhai Hua, I am not in a hurry to buy clothes. You can drive the car to a quiet place, like somewhere near the park. We can have a good chat about this.”
“Sure.” Zhai Hua was determined to do that. Since Qiao Nan did not disapprove of her idea, she stopped the car near a park. “I am all ears.”
“The first method is to find someone to have a fake marriage. After you have a child, you can file for divorce. This is the safest way.” The child will be recognized under the law. “Of course, you have to choose the man carefully. After all, it is your child. Although you are merely marrying him to have a child, you must check thoroughly. There may be genetic issues. And your ultimate goal is the child, not the man. You have to make sure that after having the child, he won’t pester you and will agree to a divorce.”
“It seems that this is a good method. But it will not be easy to execute.” Zhai Hua felt that it would not be easy to find a man who was willing to donate his sperms, was healthy, and would agree to part ways with her.
If the man met all the conditions, he must be an outstanding man and he would have high self-esteem.
If the man would come and go as long as he was paid a sum of money, Zhai Hua felt that he must not have good genes. She did not want to take the risk with her future child.
“The second method is to wait for your turn at the sperm bank. However, they would only accept certain kinds of cases. In general, one has to have fertility problems to be able to qualify for it. If one is chosen and manages to be pregnant and gives birth to a child, they still have to deal with the legitimacy issue of the child.”
“I feel that this problem could be easily solved and I don’t need to have a fake marriage!” Initially, Zhai Hua had a headache over this issue, but a thought crossed her mind. She had set her designs on Qiao Nan. “Do you think it will work if I arrange for the child to become Zhai Sheng and your child? Since the child belongs to me, there is no problem for the child to take the surname of Zhai.”
