"Master, please stop looking for a match for me. Focus on finding one for Fifth Brother instead. I already have a son, so I don't need to go on blind dates anymore." Zhu Ziming suddenly dropped this news.
"Since when did you have a son? What is going on? How could I not know this?" Master Yao hated irresponsible people the most. "You didn't do something bad, did you?"
"No, no, no. How could I do something bad?" Zhu Ziming had to explain. "It happened three years ago. I attended a client's birthday banquet and got drunk. I don't know exactly what happened, but I ended up with a girl. I wanted to take responsibility, but she said she didn't want me to. She claimed she had been drugged, and since I was drunk too, we should each bear our own responsibility. Then she left. I was worried she might come back later demanding responsibility if she couldn't find me, so I gave her my contact information. She never appeared until two years ago. She came to me, gave me the child, and said she was mine. She said if I didn't believe her, we could do a paternity test. She explained that she originally didn't want to keep the child, but her body wasn't suitable for an abortion, so she gave birth. Afterward, she didn't plan to give the child to me, but she needed to go abroad to study fashion design. It was inconvenient to bring the child with her. She also wanted to find a suitable partner in France who shared her ideals. Keeping the child would be inconvenient, and she felt I wasn't right for her, nor was she suitable to raise a child while pursuing her goals. So, she gave the child to me, saying she would never appear again to disturb us. Then she left. I did take the child for a paternity test later, and it confirmed she is indeed my son."
Zhu Ziming paused here. "So, Master, I already have an heir. It doesn't matter if I get married or not. You should focus more on Fifth Brother."
Fortunately, the elderly people present were all good friends of Master Yao. Otherwise, this news spreading out would have been a laughingstock. Zhu Yanyi unconsciously admired Zhu Ziming for admitting her mistake so openly.
Master Yao pointed at Zhu Ziming, speechless. Seeing that Master Yao seemed truly angry, Zhu Yanyi quickly said, "Grandpa Yao, this is great! Look, you were worried that Fourth Senior Brother wouldn't marry and have no heirs. Now, she’s brought you a grand-disciple. I’m becoming an aunt now. No, I’m losing out! Does this mean I have to give a red envelope when I see that little boy? I just received red envelopes from all my senior brothers for the first time, and now I have to start giving them out. I’m losing out, losing out, losing out! Grandpa Yao, it’s too unfair!"
With these complaints, Master Yao’s anger faded, and he even smiled. He glanced at Zhu Ziming. "Where is your child? Has he come to the capital?"
"She has. She’s staying in a house in the capital, cared for by a nanny. I wanted to report to you first before bringing her over," Zhu Ziming said, realizing Master Yao was no longer angry. She glanced at Zhu Yanyi beside her. She knew Master Yao was letting her off so easily mainly because Zhu Yanyi was making jokes. "Master, you will definitely like my son. She loves medicine. She’s only four years old, but she can already recite the Soup Head Song."
"Really? Bring him over tomorrow. I want to see him. If he truly has this talent, it must not be wasted." Master Yao finally stopped being angry. Since things had already happened, scolding Zhu Ziming would be useless.
