She thought that no one would remember her after such a long time, and she underestimated Gong Ou's influence in people's hearts.
Shi Xiaonian turned the tablet over angrily and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"I don't want to say anything, I'm just curious who took you away, and how did you come back to China intact?" Luo Qi said, his tone was quite gentle.
But Shi Xiaonian no longer had any respect for her, "This has nothing to do with you."
"Miss Shi, you should know what I want." Luo Qi said gracefully on the other end, "I miss my granddaughter very much. I will send someone to pick her up in China as soon as possible."
After Shi Xiaonian disappeared in England, the Gong family and Gong Ou searched everywhere for her.
She didn't know whether Gong Ou had found anything, but the Gong family only found out that Shi Xiaonian had gone to Italy, and nothing else.
Hearing this, the resentment and hatred in Shi Xiaonian's heart almost burned and engulfed her, "You are delusional!"
Take your granddaughter back
It's so ridiculous, that's her daughter.
“…”
Luo Qi was silent there, as if he didn't expect that Shi Xiaonian would suddenly speak in such a strong tone.
"Give me my son back!" Shi Xiaonian said excitedly, "You are not qualified to occupy any of my children!"
Why did the Gong family steal her son? What did they pay for the child, a single soul
When she was suffering from pregnancy, what they were doing was imprisoning her and marrying the father of the child.
"That's the Gong family's child, Miss Shi."
Luo Qi reminded her on the phone, "She is the child of our Gong family, and we will not let her be left outside. I just want to tell you in advance this time, not to discuss it."
That's so reasonable.
"Madam, power in this world does not represent three views." Shi Xiaonian stood in front of the conference table and said sarcastically.
"But three views can never compete with power."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian couldn't refute it. How many superior people would be able to say such shameless words.
Xia Yu stood aside and stared at Shi Xiaonian with some worry, not understanding what happened.
"Looks like we didn't have a pleasant conversation."
Luo Qi didn't want to have any more communication about this. In fact, she saved a little face for Shi Xiaonian.
Otherwise, she could have sent someone to pick up her granddaughter directly, but she was concerned about a mother's mood, so she warned her in advance.
But it was obvious that Shi Xiaonian only had hatred for her.
With that, Luo Qi was about to hang up the phone. Shi Xiaonian held the phone tightly and said coldly, "Madam, I am no longer the ant that can be trampled under your feet. Don't expect me to be my daughter either." Can take it away."
"Is it?"
Luo Qi was a little stunned, not expecting Shi Xiaonian to say such a thing.
It's really overestimating one's capabilities.
To the Gong family, what is she if she is not an ant
After hanging up the unpleasant call, Shi Xiaonian sat down heavily on the chair, held the phone with both hands against his forehead, slowly closed his eyes, and suppressed the pain in his heart.
Too much pressure.
As soon as she appeared in China, Luo Qi's phone calls came after her.
It wasn't enough to take away her son, but they also had to take away her daughter. Did the Gong family have to force her to desperation before they would give up
too harsh.
Thinking of the son she had never met before, Shi Xiaonian felt extremely uncomfortable. Her fingers tightened on the phone and her lips trembled slightly.
She had been asking about what the Xi family was running, just to know how powerful and capable the Xi family was, and whether they could get her son back for her.
The night before returning to China, her father Xi Jitao called her into the room. He was a serious and old-fashioned middle-aged man who favored sons over daughters.
Xi Jitao's treatment of her couldn't be said to be very good, but it wasn't bad, at least much better than Shi Zhong's treatment of her.
"I agree with you to return to China. Xi Yu likes to draw. If you keep this interest going for him, girls don't need to do anything big." The father said with a serious look on his face, "I know that you have never been right to take your son back. I give up, but remember one thing, facing the Gong family, our Xi family can only protect ourselves. And this must be done on non-British land."
“…”
"And in China, it's hard to tell. You have to be careful. But you also remember that the Xi family will be your strongest backing. If you have any problems, go to Qianchu."
That sentence dashed all her hopes.
Can only protect itself.
Her father told her that it was not easy for her to have a daughter by her side now.
The most the Xi family can do is save this daughter for her, so that she can no longer expect to have both children.
"Xiao Nian, are you okay?"
Xia Yu pulled out a chair and sat down next to her, looking at her worriedly.
Shi Xiaonian put down her phone, came out of her memories, opened a pair of slightly red eyes and looked at her friend, pretending to be relaxed and said, "It's okay, the Gong family is pushing their limits and wants to steal their daughter from me."
She said it calmly.
She has seen too much of the Gong family's despicable methods.
"This is too much." Xia Yu heard that Xiao Nian mentioned something on the phone and couldn't help but feel angry for her. After a while, she couldn't help but said, "Xiao Nian, do you want to talk to Gong Ou?"
The sunshine outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is just right.
"Looking for him?" Shi Xiaonian laughed as if he heard a joke, "Am I looking for him to humiliate me?"
"I think Mr. Gong is not that kind of person. There may be a misunderstanding between you."
Xia Yu spoke for Gong Ou.
"Misunderstanding? I thought so too, huh."
Thinking of Gong Ou, Shi Xiaonian could think of her half-year imprisonment in the tower. She chuckled, put the phone aside, picked up a spoon and took a mouthful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and put it between her lips.
Soft texture.
You can't get such good porridge in England or Italy.
"It's true, Xiao Nian. I once thought Mr. Gong was a scumbag, but when you disappeared from the hospital, Mr. Gong was very nervous and flustered, and his hands were shaking. I could feel that he cared about you very much." Xia Yu Said again.
After hearing Shi Xiaonian's hatred for the Gong family and Gong Ou on the phone, Xia Yu had been looking for a chance to make it clear to her.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian's hand holding the spoon froze, and the porridge fell back into the bowl bit by bit. Her eyes were a little dull.
very nervous.
Very confused.
Really? But it sounds so fake, not true at all.
Shi Xiaonian laughed sarcastically again, "I'm really flattered."
At that time, he dumped her again and again. She put down her pride and personality to save him, but she only got an even greater humiliation. She was afraid of being humiliated and didn't believe it anymore.
Never believe it again.
"Everything I say is true."
"Just think it's true." Shi Xiaonian scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, slowly swallowed it down his throat, and then raised his eyes to look at Xia Yu, "But it's true that he dumped me. He hasn't come to see me for half a year. The first glance was true, and so was the vow he made to Mona the night I gave birth to the twins.”
None of this is fake.
They say there is no enmity after a breakup, but her hatred for Gong Ou has long been implanted in her own flesh and blood.
“…”
Hearing these words, Xia Yu was speechless.
Of course she also saw the news that Gong Ou was getting engaged.
But ever since she saw Gong Ou being so anxious because of Shi Xiaonian's disappearance, she never believed that Gong Ou didn't love Xiao Nian.
Shi Xiaonian drank the porridge, suppressed her sarcastic smile, stared at the porridge in the bowl and said slowly, "Xia Yu."
"Um."
"Do you know how I ended up in the tower for half a year? Do you know what it's like to be imprisoned?"
“…”
"If it weren't for the twins, I would have died."
“…”
Xia Yu looked at her blankly and never mentioned Gong Ou again.
The reception room was so quiet that you could hear a needle.
Shi Xiaonian sat there, holding a spoon and gently stirring the porridge.
"Okay, I won't mention it again."
"Thanks."
Shi Xiaonian said with a smile.
"You have just returned home, so you should go back and rest early. I will discuss business with you later." Xia Yu said, "Have you decided on a place to stay? Or should you stay in a hotel first? Can I book it for you?"
"Qianchu has already asked someone to buy a house for me, right in Tianzhigang."
In S City, there are few security services that are better than Tianzhigang Community.
"Tianzhigang?" Xia Yu looked at her in astonishment, "You want to go back to Tianzhigang?"
Xia Yu knew a lot about what happened between Shi Xiaonian and Gong Ou, and felt weird about her decision.
Back to the old place
Seeing her like this, Shi Xiaonian smiled, put down the spoon in his hand, and said, "Xia Yu, after such a long time, I have learned a truth, that is, nothing can be solved by escaping."
“…”
"When I come back this time, I have no intention of living in hiding. I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I always be submissive and secretive?" Shi Xiaonian said every word.
“…”
Xia Yu looked at her blankly, as if looking at a stranger.
Shi Xiaonian still vividly remembers the fact that she didn't dare to go out because of the black water splashed by Shi Di.
Shi Xiaonian sat there and continued, "So what about the port of return to heaven? I am not the one who is sorry for that relationship. I have tried my best to protect it, but I just can't protect it until the end."
She's not wrong.
She chose to face everything.
“…”
"Tianzhigang doesn't mean anything to me now, it's just a place with better security measures." It's just a community.
Xia Yu stared at her blankly for a long time before saying calmly, "Xiao Nian, you have changed."
Only at this moment did Xia Yu feel that Shi Xiaonian had changed, not because of her clothes, not because of her temperament, but because something in her bones had changed. She was no longer the Shi Xiaonian who was easily sad and shed tears when something happened.
Like a flower swaying in the wind and rain, it seems weak, but when you get closer, you find that its stem is tough and can break even if it is broken, but it stands proudly.
"Yeah?"
A hint of sadness flashed across Shi Xiaonian's eyes.
"I think this change is pretty good." Xia Yu said sincerely, "I'm very happy. My friends are getting stronger and stronger."
"I feel that I am quite strong if I can survive the Gong family's methods."
Shi Xiaonian smiled mockingly.
Thinking about those six months of life, there were still some challenges that she couldn't overcome. (To be continued)
