Xin Qing told Xiao Rui about the Jiang family and finally told him, "No matter what you think, I won't let you go back now."
"Can I meet them?" Xiao Rui pondered for a moment and asked.
"Okay, I'll call them." Although she knew that Xiao Rui was more mature than other children, his reaction still made Xin Qing feel conflicted. She felt that this child might be more tolerant than she was.
When Song Chunli found out that Xiao Rui wanted to meet them, she thanked Xin Qing profusely over the phone. Xin Qing felt embarrassed because she didn't say anything. It was all Xiao Rui's decision.
For the sake of safety, Xin Qing and Song Chunli discussed for a while and decided to meet at home. The time was set for this weekend.
Friday arrived quickly. Compared to the calm and collected Xiao Rui, Xin Qing was the one who was nervous.
"Mom, I won't go with them." Xiao Rui was worried that her reaction would affect the baby, so he took her hand and promised, "Don't be nervous."
Xin Qing smiled embarrassedly. She didn't want to be so weak, but she was very nervous...
Song Chunli and Jiang Qianren were very punctual. They came to the Ying family at dinner time.
"Xiao... Xiao Rui?!" Song Chunli stared at Xiao Rui as soon as she entered the house. Jiang Qianren was relatively calm, but his clenched fists betrayed his feelings.
Chen Huan glanced at Xin Qing and went upstairs with Liuliu in her arms. Xin Qing understood what she meant and nodded.
"Aunt Song, please sit down!" Xin Qing held Xiao Rui's hand and asked Song Chunli to sit down. "Would you like some tea?"
Song Chunli's mind was all on Xiao Rui. When she heard Xin Qing's question, she nodded absentmindedly. "Anything is fine."
"Why is this child so expressionless?" Jiang Qianren sneaked up to Xin Qing and asked.
Xin Qing tilted her head and whispered, "I was born with it."
Jiang Qianren twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
"Xiao Rui, I'm your grandma!" Song Chunli's eyes were filled with tears as she hurriedly took out a photo from her bag. "These are your parents!"
"I'm your little father!" Jiang Qianren tried his best to put on an amiable smile.
When Xin Qing saw that Xiao Rui was still silent, she patted his head and said, "You don't have to call me that if you're not used to it."
"I need some time to get used to it, but I acknowledge you as my family," Xiao Rui finally said. Song Chunli quickly nodded. "It's okay, it's okay. We'll talk about it when you get used to it."
No one noticed that Xiao Rui had furrowed his brows a few times. This meeting went much smoother than Xin Qing had expected. It didn't even seem like a reunion. Aside from Song Chunli, who was crying all the time, and Jiang Qianren, who looked as if he was a child without parents, who was really pitiful, Xiao Rui had only said one thing from the beginning to the end.
When he sent the two of them off, he said a second time, "Goodbye!"
"What do you think of them?" Xin Qing asked Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui tilted his head and thought for a moment. "There's nothing wrong with Jiang Qianren."
"Are you saying that there's something wrong with Song Chunli?" Xin Qing asked in surprise.
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Her aura is very chaotic. She's been acting strange ever since she saw me. She's been very unstable."
"That's normal. She gets excited when she sees her grandson."
Xiao Rui thought for a moment, then picked up the teacup and poured it into the remaining Coke bottle.
"..." Xin Qing once again felt that having a son with a high IQ was a test for her. She asked meekly, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Rui pointed at the teacup. "When two completely incompatible things are mixed together, it's very contradictory."
"Are you saying that Song Chunli is very contradictory?"
"Yes, that's how her emotions react. It's like she's constantly struggling with something."
Xin Qing patted her chest. "Then there's something wrong with her!" Fortunately, she did not mention Ying Qingcang.
"You can ask Jiang Qianren about dad. Song Chunli may be strange, but she won't hurt me for now."
"I'll find a chance to ask A Cang." Xin Qing nodded.
In the capital, a Hongqi sedan slowly came to a stop in the military compound. The guard carefully opened the door, and an old man with a head full of silver hair stepped out of the car. The old man's face was ruddy, and his body was straight. He looked very healthy.
He strode into a courtyard house and said to the woman sitting in the living room as soon as he entered, "Are you sure? Is it the child? "
"He looks exactly like Qianze when he was young. It must be," Song Chunli said with a tired expression. "If you agree, I'll do a DNA test."
Jiang Min, the head of the three armed forces, was still in control of the military and refused to retreat to the second line. Due to the death of his eldest son, he had to hold on until Jiang Qianren had the ability to reach that position. Otherwise, the Jiang family would be squeezed out of the central stage.
Finding his grandson was the greatest comfort for the old man in recent years. He said to Song Chunli sternly, "Don't do it for now. It'll attract too much attention." He turned and was about to go upstairs when he looked back.
"It's been so many years. If you still can't let it go, you will only let Qianze die in peace."
Song Chunli trembled violently and shouted sharply, "If it weren't for that child, my son wouldn't have died so miserably. Why didn't you hand him over? Why did you kill my son?"
"Shut up," Jiang Min shouted and looked at her with burning eyes. "Don't forget that he is Qianze's son. You will only be sad for your son. Why can't you put yourself in his shoes? He is also his son! "
Jiang Min said with a heavy gaze, "I will never allow anything to happen to my grandson. If you are really crazy to that extent, don't blame me for being cruel."
"You..." Rong Chunli looked at Jiang Min's back and fell on the sofa with her face covered. After a few seconds, she burst into tears.
Since Xin Qing knew that there was a bomb in Ying Qingcang's body, Ying Qingcang came more often, probably because he was afraid that she would worry. Basically, he would come every two days at night.
"Do you think I should ask Jiang Qianren for help?"
Ying Qingcang sat on the rooftop with her in his arms. The early autumn night breeze was chilly. The two of them were covered with a blanket and chatting with a tablet in their hands.
"Wait a little longer. If Boss Wan still hasn't made any progress, you can go to him. But I don't think he can do it. "
Xin Qing's face fell. "Chen Huan said that the Jiang family is good!"
"That's the Jiang family, not Jiang Qianren." Ying Qingcang finished writing and poked her forehead. Then, he wrote, "The real powerful person in the Jiang family is Jiang Min."
"Jiang Qianren's father?"
Ying Qingcang nodded. "Think of a way to let Xiao Rui meet him."
Song Chunli could not represent the Jiang family. The only person who could make decisions in the Jiang family was Jiang Min.
Just as Xin Qing was wondering how to broach the subject with Jiang Qianren, Song Chunli called and said that Xiao Rui's grandfather wanted to meet him.
"Sure," Xin Qing said, suppressing the excitement in her heart. "Let me know in advance when you're coming. I'll let Xiao Rui go home."
Soon, on National Day, Jiang Qianren said that he would be arriving in S City the next day. His father would be coming with him. Jiang Min even called Xin Qing and invited her to dinner in a very formal way.
Xin Qing brought Xiao Rui with her that day. Asha and Xunxun had gone home because the school was on holiday. If Monica and Chen Huan had both gone, Asha would have been suspicious. Until now, she still thought that Xiao Rui was Xin Qing's child. No one wanted her to know about it for the time being.
The restaurant was located at the edge of the city. It was a manor with beautiful scenery. An old man and a young girl sat in a secluded private room.
"Hello, Uncle Jiang!" Xin Qing greeted politely. At the same time, she was intimidated by the old man's gaze. He was indeed a powerful figure in China. There was a sense of righteousness about him. His sharp gaze did not make him look like an old man at all.
Jiang Min nodded. He did not put on airs and politely asked Xin Qing to take a seat.
"Miss Xin, thank you." The old man picked up his tea. "The Jiang family owes you a favor."
Jiang Qianren glared at his father disapprovingly. "Ah Qing and I are friends. Why are you being so formal?"
Jiang Min glanced at him and then fixed his gaze on Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui nodded. "Hello."
Xin Qing could see that the old man's hand had trembled and his eyes had lit up.
"You look exactly like your father when he was a child." Jiang Min retracted his gaze. "Are you willing to go back with me now?"
"Dad!" Jiang Qianren panicked. Why was this different from what they had agreed? Why was he trying to steal Xiao Rui's son?
Jiang Min looked at Xiao Rui. "I want to hear your opinion."
"I'm not going back now," Xiao Rui said expressionlessly. "Do you know who killed my parents? Do you know what they want? Can the Jiang family protect me if I go back? "
Jiang Min pursed his lips and glanced at Jiang Qianren. "This kid is better than you."
Jiang Qianren was speechless. "Is he better than me just because he dares to talk back to you?" he thought.
"Miss Xin."
"Yes." Xin Qing answered quickly and subconsciously used a submissive tone. The old man's aura was too strong.
Jiang Min said slowly, "Then please continue to take care of this kid. Whenever he is willing to come back, the door of the Jiang family will always be open for him."
"My son will not die in vain. I know who killed him." Jiang Min looked at Xiao Rui. "Do you want revenge?"
Xiao Rui nodded hard. "They are my parents. I will avenge them!"
"Good!" Jiang Min smiled. "I'll wait for you."
On the way back, Xiao Rui said very seriously, "Jiang Min is a hero."
Xin Qing felt the same way. That old man had lived through many extraordinary years. When he was young, he was bold and decisive. Now, he had become a force of power. He did not need to be angry to be respected.
"So, we can talk to Jiang Qianren."
After Boss Wan told them that he could not come up with a solution, Xin Qing decided to put all her eggs in one basket. She thought about it for a few days, thinking about how to tell Jiang Qianren, or how to let him pass the message to Old Master Jiang.
Most importantly, she had to hide it from Song Chunli. If Xiao Rui did not trust her, then Xin Qing would not trust her either. She had also wondered what Song Chunli was thinking. When she came to see Xiao Rui, she did not seem to be pretending.
In the end, did she want to see Xiao Rui sincerely or did she have another motive? Fortunately, no matter what she wanted to do, she had to wait for Xiao Rui to grow up...
