Tong Qiao ignored her. All she could think about was what kind of tone and mentality Sheng Yufei was using to educate her child.
Did she think that she would teach the child the wrong things? Did she think that it would affect the child's growth?
This was too much!
Lu Ziqian was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He grabbed the corner of Tong Qiao's clothes and said in a sobbing voice, "Aunt Tong, do you hate me?"
Tong Qiao stopped in her tracks. She turned around and saw that Lu Ziqian's eyes were filled with tears. He was looking at her cautiously and fearfully. Tong Qiao knew that she was too anxious and scared him.
However, there were some things that she had to make clear to him.
Tong Qiao squatted down and looked at him. "I do hate you. I hate that you don't talk. I hate that you suppress your true feelings. I hate that you call me Aunt Tong."
The tears in Lu Ziqian's eyes trickled down, "Mommy said … naughty and impolite children … are annoying … I'm trying my best to be a good baby … why do you still hate me …"
Tong Qiao raised her hand to wipe Lu Ziqian's tears. "I don't like children who lie."
"I'm not lying." Lu Ziqian's shoulders heaved as he cried.
"Pretending to be obedient and sensible is cheating. Isn't cheating also lying?"
"I … I …" Lu Ziqian cried even more sadly, and tears flowed out like they were free.
Tong Qiao couldn't wipe him with her hands, so she had to use a towel to wipe him. "Do you want to lie?"
"No … I don't want to …"
"Then can you be your true self?" Tong Qiao coaxed softly.
"But … but …"
"You still want to say 'but'? Then I'm going to ignore you. "Tong Qiao got up and pretended to leave.
Lu Ziqian grabbed Tong Qiao's hand and cried as he promised, "I won't lie … I won't lie … Don't ignore me …"
Tong Qiao turned around and looked down at the sobbing little boy. "Then you call me."
"Aunt Tong."
"Hmm?"
"Tong Qiao."
Tong Qiao smiled and squatted in front of Lu Ziqian. She wiped his tears and snot with a towel in disgust, but her actions were very gentle. "Don't cry. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Lu Ziqian sniffled and pursed her lips to hold back her sobs. It was the kind of sobbing that stopped in a second, but her shoulders were still trembling slightly.
Tong Qiao held Lu Ziqian's hand and walked towards Aunt Lin.
Lu Ziqian looked up at Tong Qiao. "Tong Qiao, where did you leave me just now?"
"Screw you!" Tong Qiao blurted out.
"… Oh." Lu Ziqian was silent for a while before he responded in a low voice. He thought that she was angry with him and didn't want him anymore.
"Um … It's not good to be rough." Tong Qiao scratched her head and felt that she shouldn't be so violent in front of the children. She hurriedly changed the topic. "There are still a lot of chicken wings and corn by the grill. Let's continue to grill."
"Yes." Lu Ziqian's moist eyes immediately shone with starlight.
Grilling, flying a kite, riding a two-person bike, fishing …
Tong Qiao also took many photos, most of which were of the two children. She selected some photos and sent them to Lu Jinshen.
The two adults and two children played until the sun was setting before they packed up and went home.
After a day of playing, the two children fell asleep on the way home, perhaps because they were tired.
Tong Qiao drove the car through the gate and parked directly in front of the villa. When she parked the car, she saw a black military off-road vehicle. Tong Qiao remembered that it was Fu Zhengyao's car.
Tong Qiao frowned slightly. Fu Zhengyao almost never came to Lu Jinshen's place. Usually, it was Lu Jinshen who went to visit him with the children. The only time he came was on the day of An 'an's one-month birthday.
Was there an emergency? But Lu Jinshen was not at home.
With doubts, Tong Qiao carried the sleeping Lu Ziqian and walked towards the door.
Auntie Lin carried An 'an and entered the passcode in front of her. Tong Qiao followed behind and saw Fu Zhengyao and Sheng Yufei sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting. Perhaps they heard the noise and looked towards the door at the same time.
"Old Master, Miss Sheng."
"Father."
Auntie Lin and Tong Qiao greeted him together.
Fu Zhengyao nodded.
Sheng Yufei got up and walked towards Tong Qiao. She reached out to carry Lu Ziqian. "Let me do it."
Tong Qiao turned away. "No need."
Sheng Yufei's face turned slightly pale. She retracted her hand awkwardly and turned to look at Fu Zhengyao. Then, she lowered her head with a gloomy expression.
"Give the child to Yufei. I have something to tell you," Fu Zhengyao said loudly.
Tong Qiao knew that these words were directed at her. She suddenly understood that perhaps Fu Zhengyao was the savior that Sheng Yufei had asked for. That child could not be given to Sheng Yufei. If she gave the child to her, she might take Ziqian away.
Tong Qiao smiled politely. She was afraid of waking the child up, so she lowered her voice. "Ziqian just slept for a while. Don't wake him up. I'll send him upstairs first. Father, have some tea first. I'll be right down."
Fu Zhengyao's expression immediately turned cold. He was used to being the chief. He had always been the one giving orders and no one dared to disobey him. Although he was retired now, his authority was still there. No one dared to disobey him like Tong Qiao did. He wanted to say something, but Auntie Lin carried An 'an and walked towards Fu Zhengyao. She smiled and said, "Old Master, look. Little Miss has grown up again, right?"
How could Fu Zhengyao not know that Auntie Lin was trying to ease the atmosphere? Looking at his delicate little granddaughter, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
On the other hand, Tong Qiao had already carried Lu Ziqian upstairs. The boy was really exhausted. He was in a deep sleep and did not wake up even after she put him on the bed and covered him with a blanket.
Tong Qiao did not go downstairs immediately. She sat by the bed and pondered. If Fu Zhengyao said that he wanted to take Lu Ziqian away, she would not be able to reject him. After all, he was Lu Ziqian's grandfather and her elder.
If Fu Zhengyao took Lu Ziqian away, wouldn't it be the same as returning him to Sheng Yufei?
It was not easy for her to restore Lu Ziqian to his previous state. If he was taken away by Sheng Yufei, Lu Ziqian would definitely become taciturn again.
Therefore, she could not let Fu Zhengyao take the child away.
But how could she stop him?
Be unreasonable? No, he was her elder.
She did not want to see him? No, he would wait downstairs.
Call Lu Jinshen? No, distant water could not put out a nearby fire.
Tong Qiao suddenly remembered the words that Fu Zhilei had said to her before she left.
She had said, "Everything has its weakness. The only person who can control my father is my mother."
Yes, Lu Meihua.
Tong Qiao hurriedly took out her phone and dialed Lu Meihua's number. "Mom, is it convenient for you to come over now?"
"What's the matter?"
"Dad and Sheng Yufei are here. They want to take Ziqian away. Jinshen asked me to take good care of Ziqian before he went on his business trip, so I …"
"I'm coming over now." After saying this, the other party hung up.
Neat and tidy. It was the style of a successful career woman.
Tong Qiao dawdled in the room and did not go out. She was stalling for time.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. "Tong Qiao."
It was Sheng Yufei's voice.
Tong Qiao got up and opened the door. She could not be bothered with Sheng Yufei. She closed the door and went downstairs directly.
"What right do you have to hold on to my child?"
Her tone was unfriendly.
