"Leave Mofei, and you can give birth to the child. When the time comes, take the child back to the Shen Family, and we will make it up to you." That was Song Qingfei and the Shen Family's only option for her. "And if I don't?" Song Anyi asked. Song Qingfei smiled. "Then the Shen Family will never let this matter rest." Going up against the Shen Family was like hitting a rock with an egg. She and her parents would be the ones to suffer. So, why would she choose such a self-defeating path? Song Anyi took a deep breath. "I will not hand my child over to the Shen Family. I will raise her on my own." "Ms. Song, do you think you can give your child a good life?" Song Qingfei crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at her calmly. "No, but I'm the mother of my child. A child cannot be without a mother." "Don't worry, Wenjing will become the child's mother, and she will care for the child as her own." It seemed like they had everything all planned out, and she had
Ying Xiaoxiao gave her a furious glare before she turned to Song Anyi. "Anyi, don't listen to her. You and Mofei already have a child. So what if he has to give up everything from the Shen Family for you? Don't forget that President Lu is still around. How could he allow you to be wronged?" The moment she mentioned “President Lu”, there was a glint in Song Qingfei's eyes, and she stared at them with a deep gaze. Ying Xiaoxiao was afraid that Song Anyi would listen to the Shens without much thought and immediately made an eye gesture at Tang Ruochu. "Chuchu, am I right? Both of you will never allow Anyi to be wronged, right?" Tang Ruochu smiled helplessly before she gently said, "Anyi, Xiaoxiao's right. Shijin will help Mofei. Plus, it's not like you don't know Mofei's capabilities. Don't you trust him?" Shijin? Song Qingfei raised her eyebrows as she looked inquisitively at Tang Ruochu. How could she directly call Cousin Shijin by name? What was her relationship with him? Tan
"Shijin." Tang Ruochu walked up to Lu Shijin and looked at him. "Done talking already?" Lu Shijin looked at both Ying Xiaoxiao and Song Anyi before he nodded. "Yeah, we're done talking." "What about Mofei?" She peered at the ward behind him and furrowed her thin eyebrows. "Grandpa is still talking to him," Lu Shengyao replied on the side. He looked at Song Anyi, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes. "Things aren’t very good. Be mentally prepared." "What do you mean by things aren’t very good?" Ying Xiaoxiao gave him a disgruntled pinch in the arm, and the pain made him yelp as he hastened to explain, "The doctor said that Grandpa's condition isn’t great, and his time may be up soon." "Seriously?" Ying Xiaoxiao asked. None of them had expected things to become so serious. Tang Ruochu looked worriedly at the silent Song Anyi and asked, "Did Grandpa say anything?" "About that..." Lu Shengyao glanced at Song Anyi before he said somewhat hesitantly, "Grandpa's inte
Hearing his gentle voice, her nose turned sore. Pursing her lips, she raised her head and wore a smile that made her pretty face uglier than tears would have. "I'm here." "Boss, Sis, I'll take Anyi home first." Shen Mofei turned his head to face Lu Shijin. Knowing that they were going to talk things over, Tang Ruochu nodded and said, "Go home first, then. We'll head back soon as well." Shen Mofei took Song Anyi by the hand and led her into the elevator. "Mofei!" Tang Ruochu suddenly shouted at him. Shen Mofei and Song Anyi stopped and turned back, only to hear her add, "Mofei, no matter what happens, remember that you still have us." Mofei slowly opened his mouth and broke into a silly grin, his eyes shining with a thankful gleam. After that, he continued to hold Song Anyi's hand and strode forward as a faint smile finally appeared on his handsome face. His sister-in-law's words were like a warm spring breeze that swept through his gloomy heart. As the gloom quickly disap
Grandpa Shen seemed different from what she had imagined him to be. She thought that he would be a strict person and did not expect him to look so genial as well as kind. Tang Ruochu could not understand how such a genial person could be so unkind? She walked over and greeted him, "Grandpa." Hearing that, Grandpa Shen smiled from ear to ear. "Girl, come over and let Grandpa have a look at you." Tang Ruochu obediently walked over, and the old man carefully studied her appearance. The more he looked at her, the more joy he felt. He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Shijin. "Shijin, this girl has a wonderful face, and she matches you very well." In the past, he was always worried that this cold grandson of his would turn out to be someone who abhorred marriage. Now it seemed like his fated one just had not appeared yet back then. Lu Shijin walked over to hold Tang Ruochu's hand as he smiled and teased Grandpa Shen."Grandpa, when did you learn Physiognomy?" The old man resp
"Whether she is good or not, I can see for myself. I don't need you to tell me." Grandpa Shen was a little angry now. Tang Ruochu was not at all afraid. "Grandpa, people need to get along first before they know how good or bad a person is. How can you know that she’s good or bad just by looking?" "Shijin, take her and get out of here!" The initial joy Grandpa Shen had at seeing Tang Ruochu was totally gone at that point. Lu Shijin frowned slightly and spoke up for Tang Ruochu. "Grandpa, what Chuchu said isn't wrong. Mofei is no longer a child, and he has the right to choose his own life. So, I hope you can think about this." As he spoke, he turned to Tang Ruochu and said, "Chuchu, let's go back." Tang Ruochu knew that the old man was stubborn and that she might not be able to convince him quickly. "Grandpa, we'll head back first, then." Tang Ruochu politely nodded at Grandpa Shen, whose face had turned sullen, before she walked out the door with Lu Shijin. After they left
As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Before Anyi's matter was even resolved, another situation unfolded on Xiaoxiao's end. Uncle Ying had been taken away by the Corruption Investigation team for corruption and bribery. When Tang Ruochu heard about it, she was totally shocked. As far as she knew, Uncle Ying was an upstanding and principled person. How could such a thing happen? When Tang Ruochu rushed over to Xiaoxiao's place, Ying Xiaoxiao was comforting Aunt Ying who was crying her eyes out. "Mom, Dad isn’t that kind of person. I’m sure he’ll come home soon." Ying Xiaoxiao did not believe that her father would take the risk and do something that could harm himself when monitoring and inspection for corruption were so tight. "Xiaoxiao... if your dad..." Mrs. Ying was crying so hard that she could not even complete her sentence."Mom, don't overthink it. Trust Dad, and he’ll be back very soon." Ying Xiaoxiao patted her mother on the back and held her in her arms. Se
"Chuchu..." Ying Xiaoxiao rushed into her arms and cried her eyes out. Since she was afraid about distressing her mother who was already so worried about her father, she had been holding back. Now, before Chuchu who cared about her, she let all of her pent-up emotions out. Tang Ruochu gently patted her on the back and did not say anything. She simply kept her company in silence. ... "Looks like that old man still made a move." After Lu Shijin heard Mu Ling's report, a serious expression materialized on his handsome face. Xiaoxiao's father had suddenly been reported anonymously for bribery and corruption, but the case in itself was weird. When Chuchu requested his help to look into the matter, he immediately asked Mu Ling to investigate. With the investigation, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. "President, what should I do now?" Mu Ling appeared a little solemn too. He knew how complicated the dynamics in the Lu Family were, and he also knew tha
