After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Jiang Jinzhu took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm.

He cannot die now.

He couldn't rest in peace even after he died because he hadn't properly settled things in Chengzhou.

Jiang Yinzhu blew his nose and knelt in front of his father's bed. "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely bring Chengzhou back."

Jiang Jinzhu raised his hand and slapped Jiang Yinzhu across the face.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Yinzhu covered his face, completely stunned.

"Dad! Why did you hit me?"

Jiang Jinzhu let out a long breath and barely managed to steady himself.

He closed his eyes and it took him a long time to speak again.

"What did you just say? Bring Chengzhou back?"

Jiang Yinzhu covered his face and nodded aggrievedly, "Yes, Xiaobao isn't mine, but Chengzhou is definitely mine. You know what kind of person Su Jia is."

Jiang Jinzhu half-opened his eyes and looked at his foolish son.

He used to refuse to accept getting old.

I feel I can live another twenty or thirty years and see the day when Chengzhou settles down and starts a family.

He was confident that no one could treat Chengzhou better than his own grandfather.

But now he doesn't think that way anymore.

Today's events made him suddenly realize something.

He is old.

He might die any day now.

Jiang Yinzhu was an incredibly stupid idiot.

Entrusting Chengzhou to him will only harm the child.

Su Lang and Lin Zhilan are both capable and competent.

As long as they genuinely care for Chengzhou, it's much better than following this old geezer.

"Jiang Yinzhu!"

"dad……"

Even in his middle age, Jiang Yinzhu was still no match for others.

Jiang Jinzhu then realized that he had ruined his son.

His wife died young, leaving him with only this one child.

Jiang Jinzhu didn't know how to raise children. He would beat them when they made mistakes, but in reality, he still spoiled them.

All the money he earned was spent on Jiang Yinzhu.

If I had known, I should have hardened my heart and sent him to the army.

Back then, soldiers were required to go to the front lines to fight.

Jiang Jinzhu was afraid that his son's life would be in danger, so he insisted on not sending him in.

Looking back now, I realize it was a mistake from the very beginning.

He didn't expect Jiang Yinzhu to be a hero, but at least he shouldn't be a coward like he is now.

Jiang Jinzhu sighed, "Don't go looking for Chengzhou anymore."

Jiang Yinzhu looked up abruptly, "Dad, what did you say? Chengzhou is my son..."

"You dare call yourself a father?" Jiang Jinzhu stared at him, a glint of malice flashing in his cloudy eyes. "Have you cared for him even for a single day all these years? He's been living on that island for years, have you even made a single phone call?"

"This isn't..." Jiang Yinzhu turned to look at Su Lang, "Su Lang isn't answering our calls, there's nothing I can do."

Jiang Jinzhu closed his eyes again.

He doesn't answer the phone, he's not dead, he doesn't hold any public office, and he hasn't even thought about going to see his son.

Jiang Jinzhu did want to go.

But he is a retired senior cadre.

Cross-province travel requires an application to the retirement home; only those seeking medical treatment or with a letter of introduction for visiting relatives are permitted to travel across provinces.

Otherwise, he would have gone to the island himself to bring his grandson back long ago.

But what about Jiang Yinzhu?

Jiang Jinzhu didn't want to talk about it, fearing it would raise his blood pressure.

"I'm old and can't control you anymore. But I'll make the decisions regarding Chengzhou. From now on, just pretend you don't have a son."

Jiang Yinzhu panicked, "Dad!"

"Shut up!" Jiang Jinzhu opened his eyes. "If you still want to acknowledge me as your father, don't go causing trouble at the Su family's house. Otherwise, I'll publish a notice in the newspaper tomorrow severing all ties with you! Father or son, the choice is yours!"

Jiang Yinzhu looked at his father's face, his lips trembling.

He's already this old.

The younger one wasn't his biological child, but he still wanted to have a descendant.

However, without his father, he wouldn't have been able to snatch his son back.

Jiang Yinzhu remained silent.

Lin Zhilan, who had been watching the entire conversation between the father and son, raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Su Lang.

Has the old man finally figured it out?

Should we stop competing with them for Chengzhou?

Jiang Jinzhu beckoned to Su Lang, "Little Lang, come here, Uncle Jiang has a favor to ask of you."

Su Lang led Lin Zhilan over.

Jiang Jinzhu gave them a kind look.

A perfect match, a union made in heaven.

If Su Jia were here, she would definitely be happy for Xiao Lang too.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Su Lang raised her eyes, her gaze calm and even. "Please tell me what it is first."

"Do you really feel sorry for Chengzhou?"

"Yes," Su Lang replied succinctly and forcefully.

A relieved smile appeared on Jiang Jinzhu's lips. "Now I'm at ease. I'm handing Chengzhou over to you. I want to transfer all my savings and assets to Chengzhou's name."

Just as Su Lang was about to speak, Jiang Jinzhu waved his hand slightly, signaling him not to speak yet.

"No matter what, I am Chengzhou's grandfather, and this money is what I should pay. However..." Jiang Jinzhu stared at Su Lang, "People's hearts are fickle. I want you to swear to me that when Chengzhou comes of age, this money will be handed over to him in its entirety."

Jiang Jinzhu knew that this request was somewhat insulting.

But he had no choice.

Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng are trustworthy people.

But they had two other sons.

Moreover, they are getting old, and Jiang Jinzhu is not at ease leaving them with him.

The most suitable couple is Su Lang and Lin Zhilan.

Jiang Jinzhu, shameless as ever, said those words.

Su Lang glanced at Jiang Yinzhu, who was kneeling beside the hospital bed, and said, "Okay."

It's not about trying to gain anything for Chengzhou.

Su Lang just felt that having Jiang Yinzhu as a biological father would be a problem for Chengzhou in the future.

If we keep this money, it won't drag Chengzhou down if something happens to Jiang Yinzhu.

"I swear on my military duty, I will absolutely not touch a single penny of this money!"

Jiang Yinzhu was relieved.

He was a soldier.

Su Lang's guarantee was more important than anything else to him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his wrinkles deepening. "There's one more thing. Could you perhaps have Chengzhou come to see me?"

Lin Zhilan finally couldn't help but speak up, "Comrade Jiang, you really won't die this time."

Why does this seem like entrusting someone's orphanage to another?

Lin Zhilan didn't like what she said.

In his eyes, Su Lang and Jiang Chengzhou were both his own people.

How should they get along? How should they spend their money? They can discuss and decide for themselves.

There's no need to make promises to outsiders.

Jiang Jinzhu wasn't angry. He said politely, "You'll have to go back after the New Year, right? I don't know how many more times I'll be able to see Chengzhou. Please help me out."

The old man was playing the victim, and Lin Zhilan couldn't say anything.

"I need to ask Chengzhou what he thinks. If he wants to come, he can; if he doesn't, don't blame him. As for the money, you can give it to us and we'll accept it on Chengzhou's behalf. It's fine if you don't give it to us, but you can't use this to pressure Chengzhou."

Lin Zhilan doesn't like hearing things like, "If you come to see me, I'll give you money."

It makes it seem like her family's Chengzhou is very snobbish.

"Alright, alright, Chengzhou came to see me, it has nothing to do with money. Whether he comes or not, I'm still going to give him the money."

The more impolite Lin Zhilan was, the more at ease Jiang Jinzhu felt.

Jiang Jinzhu didn't like Bai Mei's attempts to please him.

Because he knew that Bai Mei had ulterior motives.

Now the tables have turned. Jiang Jinzhu is asking for a favor and is very polite to Lin Zhilan, not daring to say a harsh word to her.

Jiang Yinzhu kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
