In the end, Tong Qiao agreed to let Sheng Yufei bring Ziqian home after school. She had already lost the initiative. If she continued to object, it would only make Xu Dechang even more unhappy.
Xu Dechang was right about one thing. Lu Ziqian was the blood of the Xu family, so she was in no position to speak.
However, this didn't mean that she had admitted defeat. It was just her stalling tactic.
There was still half a day left. She would definitely be able to come up with a solution.
Tong Qiao went upstairs to pack Lu Ziqian's things. Aunt Lin came over with An 'an in her arms. "Qiao' er, what are you doing?"
"Sheng Yufei wants to bring Ziqian home. I'm packing his things."
Aunt Lin's eyes were filled with worry. "How can this be? Ziqian has become lively and adorable again. If we bring him home, won't he become quiet again? "
Tong Qiao threw the small suit in her hand into the suitcase and sat down on the single-seater sofa. Her face drooped, and she was bored. "What can I do? Sheng Yufei first asked Dad to come over to intercede, and now she's brought up Uncle Xu. Dad and Mom can help me deal with this, but Uncle Xu is the father of Jinshen's benefactor. I can't go against him. "
Naturally, Tong Qiao wouldn't tell Aunt Lin that Lu Ziqian was Xu Dechang's grandson.
Auntie Lin nodded in understanding. "Mr. Xu only has a son and a daughter. His daughter got married abroad after going abroad, and they barely see each other once a year. His son sacrificed himself for Jin Shen. He really dotes on Ziqian as if he were his own grandson. I can see that."
Tong Qiao's gaze fell on the suitcase in a daze. "Uncle Xu said that it would be better for the child to be with his biological mother than with me, a stepmother. What else can I say?"
Auntie Lin sighed softly. "Yufei is too strict with the child. I think Ziqian is happier with you. Children are at the age where they should play. They can't be tied down all the time. It's a pity that Mr. Xu can't be by Ziqian's side every day. He doesn't know these details."
Tong Qiao nodded. Although she was angry at Xu Dechang for not being able to distinguish right from wrong, she calmed down and thought about it and felt that she could understand him. His grandson couldn't recognize him, and he couldn't accompany him all the time. He could only find out about his grandson's recent situation from others.
Sheng Yufei was Lu Ziqian's mother, and she was Lu Ziqian's stepmother. Everyone would listen to Sheng Yufei, right?
After all, she was the child's biological mother.
By the way, if Xu Dechang knew Sheng Yufei's true colors, wouldn't he not believe her?
But Xu Dechang definitely wouldn't believe it just by saying it. How could he make him believe it?
Sheng Yufei is good at pretending. If I didn't see it with my own eyes …
See it with my own eyes?
A glimmer of excitement appeared in Tong Qiao's eyes. She jumped up from the sofa and walked to the door while saying, "Aunt Lin, I'm going out for a while."
"Dinner is about to be served. Where are you going?"
Tong Qiao didn't reply and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.
About half an hour later, at the entrance of the military base.
The entrance was solemn and dignified. The soldiers with guns at the entrance looked stern and stood straight like pine trees.
This was a military base. No one could enter without identification or being led by a member of the military base. Even the chief's wife couldn't enter.
However, these soldiers all knew Tong Qiao. One of them walked up to Tong Qiao and said respectfully, "Madam, the chief is not in the military base."
Tong Qiao nodded. "I know. I'm not here to look for him."
"Are you looking for Secretary-General Tong? Wait a moment. I'll call him now. "
"I'm not here to look for my father either. I'm here to look for Ji Ji …" Tong Qiao saw Ji Ji walking over while she was speaking. She called him in advance. "He's here."
The soldier looked back and nodded slightly at Tong Qiao before returning to his post.
Tong Qiao especially liked this kind of place that was filled with the aura of soldiers. They were strict, resolute, and unyielding. She also revered these soldiers because they were all real men.
Whenever she thought that her man was in charge of this place, Tong Qiao felt very proud. She suddenly missed that shameless old man very much.
Phew!
Tong Qiao exhaled a warm breath filled with longing. She thought to herself that when he came back, he should forget about the punishment of not being able to touch her for a month.
"Sister-in-law." Ji Ji walked up to Tong Qiao. "What can I do for you?"
Lu Jinshen had brought Baishao with him on this business trip, so he had deliberately left Ji Ji behind. He felt more at ease with a man taking care of Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao only found out about Lu Ziqian's intention from Ji Ji when he sent Lu Jinshen to the Lu family.
Tong Qiao pointed at the cafe diagonally opposite the army camp. "Shall we talk there?"
"Okay."
The two of them walked towards the cafe together. On the way, Ji Ji asked about Lu Ziqian's recent situation.
Tong Qiao said, "I'm here to talk to you about Ziqian."
"What happened to Ziqian?"
"Sheng Yufei wants to take him back …" Tong Qiao told Ji Ji about Sheng Yufei's two helpers.
The two of them had already chosen a private seat in the cafe while they were talking.
"Sister-in-law, what do you want me to do?" Ji Ji asked.
Tong Qiao glanced around and then waved at Ji Ji. "Come closer."
Ji Ji smiled. "Why are you being so secretive?" Although he asked this, he had already leaned over the table and put his ear closer.
Tong Qiao whispered in Ji Ji's ear.
Ji Ji stared at Tong Qiao with wide eyes. "Sister-in-law, you want me to trespass on private property …"
"Shh!" Tong Qiao put her slender index finger on her lips and made a shushing gesture. "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Ji Ji looked around cautiously and nodded. He lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, that's illegal. I'm a soldier. I can't do such things."
Tong Qiao frowned. "Why are you so timid? I'm not asking you to commit murder or arson. "
"It's not a matter of courage. It's a matter of principle."
Tong Qiao was silent for a few seconds. "Okay, I won't force you. Give me the things and I'll go by myself."
Ji Ji shook his head. "How can I do that? If I let you do such a thing, won't Boss kill me when he comes back? "
Tong Qiao leaned against the back of the chair and picked up the coffee that the waiter had just brought over. She blew on it and took a sip. It was a little hot. She frowned and put the coffee back. She looked up at Ji Ji. "Either you go or I go. It's your choice."
"Can we change to another option?"
"No!"
Ji Ji frowned and hesitated for a moment. "… I'll go."
Tong Qiao instantly beamed with joy, but she did not forget to enlighten Ji Ji. "You're not breaking the law. Think about it. If the bad guy shoots at you and you shoot him dead, is that against the law?"
Ji Ji shook his head. "No."
"That's right. This is legitimate self-defense. What I'm asking you to do now is also legitimate self-defense. Sheng Yufei has been picking on me. If I don't fight back, won't I be too cowardly?"
Ji Ji thought for a moment and nodded. "But …"
"No buts. Just think that Sheng Yufei is a bad guy. Everything you're doing now is a means to make the bad guy reveal his true colors. If your Boss finds out, he'll praise you for being very smart."
Ji Ji was a little dizzy from Tong Qiao's words. "Really?"
"Really."
Ji Ji felt very excited just thinking about how the Boss he respected the most would praise him.
