Originally, the Su Family wanted Mu Hongbo to pass on his youngest son, Mu Bai, to Mu Hongwen and Su Aiping. However, the Mu Family's patriarch disagreed. Though Mu Hongbo and his wife Song Jialing didn't oppose, everyone could see that they were unwilling. After all, the child was their heart, how could they easily part with him!
With this method being unviable, the Su Family had no choice but to compromise. Afterward, through discussions between the elders of the Mu and Su Families, they unanimously agreed to have Mu Hongwen and Su Aiping adopt one or two children from the orphanage. Nevertheless, it was completely unexpected that Su Aiping opposed this!
Su Aiping stated that adopted children were ultimately not their own. Unable to have children was her flaw; she could not let Mu Hongwen share in her misfortune. Therefore, she decided to hire a surrogate!
Back then, this was a sensational idea. So when Su Aiping voiced her decision, the elders were all stunned!
