"Let me in, you bunch of liars. You stole the custody of my son, and now you won't let him meet me!" Ignoring the pain in her body, Xiao Xiao got up from the ground, with red eyes, and was about to rush in again.
However, the result was the same, she was ruthlessly blocked and fell to the ground.
There was no other way, she could only call Ji Chensi.
Ji Chensi was still busy at Lan Fuchu's wedding. He was on the groom's side and didn't know that Xiao Xiao had already left.
Seeing that the caller was Xiao Xiao, Ji Chensi picked up the phone with a gentle voice, "Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Your grandfather took Ji Ling away!" Xiao Xiao cried on the phone, "They said it was Mrs. Ji's idea, your mother's idea..."
"What's going on?" Ji Chensi frowned, looking unhappy.
"Mrs. Ji said that our family's character is not good. She was afraid that Ji Ling would be led astray by my family if he stayed with me, so she asked someone to take him away. She also said that I will not be allowed to see him in the future. Ji Chensi, I beg you not to do this to me. I am Ji Ling's mother. I will not harm him. I beg you..." She was already at a loss and could only say whatever she thought of.
Ji Chensi frowned, "You cry first, Xiao, where are you now?"
"I'm at the gate of Tanyuan, and they won't let me in!"
Hearing this, Ji Chensi's eyes turned cold and he called his assistant in, "Prepare the car."
When I came out of the banquet hall, there was a strong wind outside and it looked like it was going to rain soon.
Ji Chensi got into the Maserati and said to the driver in a deep voice, "Go to Tanyuan."

The rain falls bit by bit.
Xiao Xiao was only wearing a thin bridesmaid dress, but she refused to leave. She stood stubbornly in front of the big black iron gate of Tan Garden, letting the rain fall on her head and face, like an ice sculpture, motionless.
It was unknown how long it had passed before the rain got heavier. Xiao Xiao shivered, shaking with cold all over. The area around Tan Garden was all green belts, and there was no place to hide from the rain. The soldiers refused to let her in, and stood upright at the door with their military sticks in their hands.
Gradually, Xiao Xiao's consciousness became a little blurred, but she refused to leave. She was worried about Ji Ling, afraid that he would cry miserably in the house with no one to comfort him.
At this moment, a car rushed out from the rain and stopped in front of her.
Looking at the handsome man who got out of the car anxiously, Xiao Xiao's mind was in a daze. She rushed over and grabbed his arm. "Ji Chensi, you didn't keep your word. You said that as long as I agreed to give you the custody of Ji Ling, you would let Ji Ling live with me in the future. What's going on now? You secretly took Ji Ling away and said that you won't let me see him anymore. What did I do wrong..."
"Calm down first." In the rain, Ji Chensi held her shoulders with both hands. Feeling her cold skin, he was stunned for a moment. He took off his coat, put it on her shoulders, then picked her up and walked towards his car.
"What are you doing? I'm not going back. The nanny just said that Ji Ling cried a lot when he left. I want to go in and find him..."
"It's raining now, you go to the car first." Ji Chensi carried her to the car without saying anything, and then told the driver, "Ali, you take Miss Xiao home first."
Xiao Xiao heard this and shook her head vigorously. Although she was soaked, she didn't care. "Ji Chensi, I beg you, don't send me away. Take me in. I want to see Ji Ling."
Ji Chensi glanced at her with a gloomy expression, "Your hand is injured, go back first. I promise you that I will bring Ji Ling back to see you later."
"No! You all lied to me! You lied to me..."
"I didn't lie to you. Ji Ling has been taken away now. I don't know what happened. I'm going to go in and see Grandpa and ask him what happened. You go back first. I promise that I will bring Ji Ling back to see you."
Xiao Xiao was unwilling and shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I won't go back!"
Ji Chensi was furious, "If you don't go back, I won't go in. If you wait here, you still won't be able to see Ji Ling!"
Xiao Xiao was stunned and tears started to fall.
Finally, she was sent back to the apartment by Ali. The family doctor was already waiting at the door. Ali helped Xiao Xiao in, and the family doctor bandaged her injured arm. But Xiao Xiao had no expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something. Water kept dripping from her hair, and her whole body was cold.

Tan Garden.
It was raining heavily.
Ji Chensi stood at the door, his handsome face soaked in the rain, with a chill that penetrated his bones.
"Who attacked her just now?" he asked the patrolling soldiers at the door, his voice frighteningly cold.
A dozen patrol soldiers looked at each other, not daring to speak.
"Who pushed her?" He looked at the group of patrol soldiers with a terribly gloomy look in his eyes.
One person was afraid and took a step forward, "Master, that... was ordered by General Ji..."
"You pushed it?"
The soldier lowered his head and said, "Master, I am just following orders."
"Bang!" The next second, the soldier was kicked to the ground by Ji Chensi. He walked over, with no expression on his face, and crushed the soldier's arm with his leather shoes.
"Ah!" The soldier's screams were heard amid the rustling rain.

In the Tan Garden.
Ji Chensi, feeling cold all over, pushed open the door of the main building.
The hall was cozy and the heating was comfortably on.
Ji Ling was tired of crying, so he fell asleep on the sofa bed in the living room. Next to him sat General Ji Wangshan, who was trying to coax him to sleep. The old general covered him with a quilt, patted him, and coaxed him with soft eyes, "Oh... Ji Ling, don't cry, Grandpa is here, Ji Ling, be good, it's time to sleep..."
It was raining heavily outside, but inside the house, there was full of warmth.
Ji Chensi came over, and with his body wet, he sat on the sofa, his eyes dark, "Grandpa, was it your idea to deal with Ji Ling?"
Ji Wangshan gently coaxed his great-grandson to sleep and said softly, "Your mother told me about that woman. Her family has bad character, so I don't agree to let Ji Ling live with her."
"Then you are breaking your promise, aren't you? At first, you promised that the child would grow up with her."
"I agreed before, but I didn't know her family was like this at that time. If the top beam is not upright, the bottom beam will be crooked. Chen Si, you don't want your son to be led astray by them, right? Besides, Ji Ling just moved in to live with me. As Ji Ling's great-grandfather, how can I harm him?" Ji Wangshan's voice was not loud, but it was intimidating. "Ji Ling is a child of our Ji family. With him here, I can take him to see the world more and let him learn the style of a soldier. Following his mother who is an actress, isn't it just going to school every day? What future can he have? Moreover, I can do better than her in going to school and hiring a nanny. I can hire more people to accompany Ji Ling and build a children's playground for Ji Ling. We have so much open space in Tanyuan. I can build a toy park and an amusement park for Ji Ling. He can have everything he wants..."
"Please don't be like this." Ji Chensi interrupted him with a serious face, "For children, parents are irreplaceable. They cannot be replaced by toy parks or amusement parks. What's the use of having such things? Without parents around, he won't be happy."
He seemed to be telling his past. The reason why Ji Chensi was not that close to Mrs. Ji was because Ji Chensi was a child who grew up with Ji Wangshan. Back then, Ji Wangshan doted on Ji Chensi just like he doted on Ji Ling, but he was still very lonely because other children had parents but he was the only one who didn't. So when he knew Ji Ling was his child, he vowed to accompany him well to grow up and not follow the same old path he had taken.
Hearing this, Ji Wangshan was shocked and looked at Ji Chensi, "Chensi, are you blaming grandpa?"
"Grandpa, I'm not blaming you. I'm also very grateful that you stayed by my side and accompanied me in my growth when I was little. But it is precisely because I grew up like that that I understand better what I really wanted in my heart back then."
Ji Wangshan didn't say anything.
Ji Chensi's eyes became more serious, and he said, "Grandpa, you can see Ji Ling if you want. Just tell me and I will send someone to bring Ji Ling to you. But if you want to take him away by force, or even prevent Ji Ling from meeting his biological mother, then Grandpa, please forgive me for not obeying your order."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I'm saying this in the hope that you can understand my feelings as a father. If someone comes one day and takes Ji Ling away without saying anything, and then tells you that you will never be allowed to see Ji Ling again, what would you think, Grandpa?"
