Chapter 722: 717. I Will Personally Send Them to Prison (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

After Zhang Ran made a snide remark, he thought for a moment and said earnestly, "What exactly are you thinking? You are quite old now, and your children are at the stage where they are shaping their worldview and values. You..."

Although this was a private matter that Zhang Ran shouldn't have interfered with, as a friend, there were things that needed to be said.

Taylor gave a wry smile upon hearing this and said, "Actually, I have been considering this issue, but to be honest, I am somewhat afraid of marriage."

Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of what Taylor had said earlier about his father's inheritance and his parents' marriage, and he began to understand.

"How about this, why don't you just sign a prenuptial agreement with Kaiselin when the time comes? That should be very common in Europe and America, right?" Zhang Ran said.

"It's not entirely because of the assets; my main fear is that I don't have the ability to manage this family well, and once problems arise, I won't know what to do," Taylor said.

This was what he worried about most; he was used to a philandering lifestyle, and now, suddenly being locked in the cage of marriage, Taylor didn't know how he would handle it.

As for continuing to live as he did before after marriage, he hadn't considered that, and he also understood that once married, given Kaiselin's temper, she would absolutely not tolerate him doing so.

Therefore, Taylor had always been somewhat hesitant, because he truly didn't know how to handle these matters.

Zhang Ran had no solution for this mindset of his; these things could only be resolved by relying on oneself, not through the help of others.

"Think about it carefully yourself. In any case, I suggest you get married; after all, having a stable family has a great deal to do with a child's growth and character formation," Zhang Ran said.

This was just his suggestion, and as for whether Taylor listened or not, that was none of his business; at least he had done what he was supposed to do.

Zhang Ran then stopped worrying about Taylor and went to play with the six little ones.

He still needed to observe Taylor's two children; if these two children had the inclination to act wantonly and do evil from a young age, then Zhang Ran would never agree to it, no matter what.

Of course, Zhang Ran actually understood that the biggest reason Taylor would do this was that he wanted Zhang Ran to be able to help out when he lacked the ability and the children lacked the ability.

With this status, given Zhang Ran's character, if problems arose in the future, Zhang Ran would not just stand by and watch.

This was what Taylor craved most in his heart.

Taylor fell into silence; he certainly understood that what Zhang Ran said was for his own good, but he really didn't know how to make the choice.

At the same time, he also didn't know if his continued reluctance to marry would affect Zhang Ran's judgment of the children.

There was one more point he also thought Zhang Ran was very right about, which was that continuing like this would actually have a very bad influence on the children.

Taylor knew Zhang Ran's character; in his view, Zhang Ran had always been a person full of a sense of justice, even if he didn't admit it himself.

Moreover, Zhang Ran would not impose his own values on others.

But if his own children ended up going astray precisely because of these reasons, and problems appeared in their character and values, what would Zhang Ran do?

Actually, when it comes down to it, everything is because Taylor doesn't love Kaiselin; perhaps there is some liking, but it is far from being called love.

Or perhaps this bit of liking is still because he was moved by what Kaiselin has done.

Just like that, until noon, Taylor found Zhang Ran again and asked his question.

Taylor's expression was very serious and earnest, "Zhang Ran, if they end up going astray and do things that violate the law and morality, what will you do?"

Zhang Ran laughed, "Don't be so serious; I haven't even agreed to be their godfather yet."

"I am very serious." Taylor didn't mean to laugh at all.

Zhang Ran sighed, his expression also becoming serious, "If their character does not conform to my values in the future, and they use their own power and status to do things that violate the law and discipline, if it is serious, I will personally send them to prison."

However, you can also rest assured that I won't take their lives, nor will I let your bloodline be cut off; when the time comes, I will find someone for them to have a child with, to inherit your family's property."

Zhang Ran didn't mean to joke at all; he said exactly what he was thinking.

Zhang Ran could not be a protective umbrella for these dark, evil forces; this was something he would absolutely not allow.

Taylor was silent for a long while, before sighing helplessly, "Can't you say two nice things? At least let me have some peace of mind."

"Hehe, it's very simple to want me to say nice things; after all, anyone can say nice things, but they just won't do them." Zhang Ran's expression also relaxed.

"How about it, do you still insist on me being their godfather?" Zhang Ran said.

Taylor hadn't expected Zhang Ran to be so resolute, and he also knew that Zhang Ran would really do it.

Right now, the values of his two children were very good, and they belonged to the type of good children, but Taylor didn't know what they would grow up to be like, especially those who grew up in such a family situation.

Just like himself, because of his parents' relationship and the relationships of his relatives, his concept of family affection and love was very thin.

It was just that the appearance of the two children had caused him to change slightly.

And if his children continued to grow up in such a situation, he didn't know what they would turn into in the end.

Taylor knew he wasn't a good person, but he also knew he would absolutely not be a bad person.

Not to mention charity work, after all, he did charity for tax avoidance and other reasons, so he didn't consider himself a kind person.

But Taylor himself also knew that he had absolutely never done anything bad; of course, business matters didn't count.

Under normal circumstances, he hadn't done anything bad; although his life was a bit philandering, he had never forced anyone, which could be considered an equivalent exchange.

"You should think about it too; I will observe a bit more on my end," Zhang Ran said.

For things like this, Zhang Ran liked to lay everything out in the open; after all, according to his thinking, once he agreed, he had to take responsibility.

Of course, if he accepted this god-parenting relationship, it would actually have great benefits for Zhang Ran; at the very least, Zhang Ran would have a relatively reliable connection here in the United States, as the relationship would be closer.

However, Zhang Ran would not take these things into consideration; that was not his character. He would rather use interests to make an exchange than treat matters of affection as interests to be swapped.

Perhaps this was also the reason why he was not a qualified businessman; he was a bit too heavy on affection.
