Tong Qiao stopped in her tracks and turned around. With her hands in her pockets, she said lazily, "Can't I just find you an eyesore?"
"You …" Sheng Yufei's face turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure. "Tong Qiao, don't be so arrogant in front of me. If you have the guts, say those words in front of Dad."
Tong Qiao sneered, "Do you take me for a fool? Why should I listen to you?"
"You just don't dare to."
"Don't try to provoke me. It's useless. I can see through your tricks," Tong Qiao said domineeringly. "I'm going to say this now. Don't even think about taking Ziqian away."
"That's not up to you."
Tong Qiao glanced downstairs. "Do you think this help will work?"
Sheng Yufei said smugly, "He's Ziqian's grandfather and Jinshen's father. How dare you defy him?"
"I can't go against my elders, but …" Tong Qiao heard the sound of an engine turning off outside the villa. She took a few steps back and leaned against the railing of the corridor. She cocked her head and looked at the door. Seeing that someone had entered, she looked away and looked at Sheng Yufei. "Of course there's someone who dares to go against him for me."
Seeing Tong Qiao's reaction, Sheng Yufei walked to the railing and saw a woman in a business suit appear in the living room. She immediately frowned.
Tong Qiao raised her eyebrows. "What do you think of me as your helper?"
Sheng Yufei finally realized that Tong Qiao had been deliberately stalling for time. She had been too careless and thought that she would definitely be able to take Ziqian away tonight. That was why she had allowed Tong Qiao to dawdle. "You're so despicable."
"Despicable?" Tong Qiao sneered. "Who's the despicable one here? You can even use your own child. You don't deserve to be Ziqian's mother. "
"I don't deserve it. Do you?" Sheng Yufei laughed. "If you have the ability, you can stuff him back into your belly and have another baby."
Tong Qiao had never seen such a shameless woman. Since Lu Meihua was already here, there was no need to waste her breath on this kind of person.
When Tong Qiao arrived downstairs, Lu Meihua and Fu Zhengyao were already at daggers drawn.
Lu Meihua was very efficient. She immediately asked Fu Zhengyao what he was doing here.
Fu Zhengyao was naturally displeased by her question. He retorted, "Do I need your permission to come to my son's house?"
Lu Meihua sat down on the sofa and took her granddaughter who was sleeping soundly in Auntie Lin's arms. She looked at the child in her arms and gently touched An 'an's smooth little face with her fair and slender fingers. "You came to see your daughter-in-law when your son wasn't at home?"
Tong Qiao came down just in time to hear these words. She almost burst out laughing. Her mother-in-law was indeed powerful. It seemed that her father-in-law was no match for her.
Fu Zhengyao's old face immediately turned red from anger. His voice deepened. "Lu Meihua, you're being disrespectful."
Lu Meihua was not angry at all. She looked at Fu Zhengyao indifferently. "If you're not here to see your daughter-in-law, then tell me, what are you here for?"
"I'm here to pick up Ziqian."
"You didn't answer me when I asked you earlier. You only told me when I was angry.
Fu Zhengyao was so angry that he did not know whether to stand or sit. He stood up and pointed at Lu Meihua before sitting down again. "Lu Meihua …"
He finally calmed down and was about to speak when Lu Meihua interrupted him. "Don't even think about taking Ziqian away. I don't agree."
Fu Zhengyao was so angry at Lu Meihua's words that he could not help but raise his voice. "What right do you have to disagree? Ziqian is also my grandson. "
The child in her arms frowned and moved a little. Lu Meihua gently patted An An 'an's little shoulder, then glanced coldly at Fu Zhengyao. She lowered her voice and said, "Isn't Ziqian your grandson? Why are you shouting? "
Fu Zhengyao naturally saw that his loud voice was disturbing his granddaughter. After being scolded by Lu Meihua, he could only endure it and said softly, "Who told you not to let me take Ziqian away?"
Lu Meihua handed An 'an to Auntie Lin and signaled with her eyes for her to carry the child upstairs. She then turned around and looked at Fu Zhengyao. "Who will take care of Ziqian? The nanny? "
"Of … of course not." Fu Zhengyao's nanny was old and could not take care of the child.
"Don't tell me you're going to take care of him yourself?"
Fu Zhengyao tugged at his collar. "How can a man like me take care of him?"
Lu Meihua crossed her long legs casually and her gaze landed on Sheng Yufei's face. However, her words were directed at Fu Zhengyao. "Or do you want to take your ex-daughter-in-law home? Both of you are divorced. It's not good for a man and a woman to live together, is it? "
"Lu Meihua!" Fu Zhengyao was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. "How can you say such things in front of the younger generation …" Shameless.
Fu Zhengyao swallowed the last few words. He could not be like Lu Meihua who did not respect her elders. He paused for a moment and continued. "Ziqian naturally asked Yufei to take him back to her place."
"He's living well here. Why do you want to take him back to her place?" Lu Meihua did not give Fu Zhengyao a chance to reply. She glanced at Sheng Yufei who was standing beside the sofa. "This was your idea?"
Sheng Yufei folded her hands in front of her abdomen and looked down respectfully. "Mom, Tong Qiao is taking care of An 'an. I was worried that it would be too hard for her to take care of two children, so I wanted to share her burden. After all, Ziqian is my child. I can't always tire her out."
Tong Qiao looked at Sheng Yufei and said, "Auntie Lin has always been taking care of An 'an. My job is at home, so I have more freedom. I have a lot of time, so it's more than enough to take care of Ziqian. Moreover, Ziqian likes An' an very much, and Jinshen wants to keep his son by his side. If you miss Ziqian, you can come and visit him at any time. Or when Jinshen comes back and your shop is not busy, you can also bring Ziqian over to stay for a few days."
Lu Meihua agreed. "Qiao 'er is right. Ziqian is a child of the Lu family after all. If a single mother like you were to take care of him, people might think that the Lu family is incapable and can't even raise a child. I can't afford to lose face like that."
Sheng Yufei's face turned pale when she heard Tong Qiao and Lu Meihua's words. "Mom, it's not like that. I also …"
"Okay, this matter is settled." Lu Meihua made the final decision.
Sheng Yufei looked at Fu Zhengyao for help.
Fu Zhengyao looked at Lu Meihua and softened his tone. "Meihua, Shen 'er is already married and has An' an. Yufei lives alone and wants to take Ziqian with her. Why are you so unreasonable?"
Lu Meihua looked at Fu Zhengyao. "You know that Yufei is alone. She still has to run the store. How can she take care of the child well? Shen 'er can provide Ziqian with the best food, clothes, living environment, and school resources. Have you ever thought about Ziqian? "
"This …" Fu Zhengyao had never thought about this and was momentarily speechless.
"As a parent, you have to think from the perspective of the child and make plans for the child's future. Tell me, is it better for Ziqian to stay by Yufei's side or Shen 'er's side?" Lu Meihua questioned Fu Zhengyao.
