Tan Yixuan was speechless for a moment, but when he thought about Feifei's expression of being wronged just now, but could only swallow it in his heart, he felt uncomfortable. He looked at his mother, and finally did not answer, only said: "I'm going upstairs."
"Come in with me." Tan Jinchuan glanced at his wife and then went upstairs to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he glared at his wife: "What's the matter with you? I told you before, Feifei is not just a mother. Isn't it understandable that she wants to take care of her children by herself?"
"I did it on purpose." Zhong Xinlan changed her anger just now and became very calm now.
"What?"
"I didn't want Feifei and Yixuan to take advantage of everything, so I did it on purpose. I wonder if they would be embarrassed to take away my grandson?" Zhong Xinlan confessed to her husband.
"Are you really...what are you talking about?" Tan Jinchuan was speechless to his wife. He didn't expect that this was what she was causing trouble.
"It doesn't make sense? Look at the children in this compound who didn't stay in the compound to take care of their grandparents. Don't you remember that when I brought Guang Guang back from Shijiazhuang, she was so skinny?
In the past few months, I hired a nutritionist to pay attention to Guangguang's nutrition, and that's why I kept him so fat and fat.
Smart and clever. Besides, I don't trust this girl Feifei. I always feel that she is just a child and she can't take care of her." This is what she said mentally. The environment in the army is not as good as at home.
The army doesn't even have a decent nanny. How can Feifei take care of Guangguang by herself?
Tan Jinchuan was silent for a few seconds: "Then you can't do this, and you should also have confidence in Feifei. Will she not take care of her own children?"
"You just want Guang Guang to be picked up. I don't understand them as a couple. Every family's children inside and outside this compound are taken care of by their grandparents. Are they still living in Beijing?
"
"Others are others, and we are us. Since Feifei wants to pick up Guangguang, you have to let her pick her up. She is Guangguang's mother." Tan Jinchuan didn't want to say more and gave the order directly.
"Then it depends on how embarrassed they are to take her away. This time I will also be a bitchy mother-in-law." Zhong Xinlan's eyes lit up and she already had a countermeasure in mind.
Sophie hugged Guangguang and returned to the room. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. But she was not good at dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She really didn't know what to do.
Tan Yixuan entered the room and saw her holding Guangguang in a daze. He half-knelt in front of her: "Feifei, I'm sorry..."
"It's none of your business." Sophie smiled bitterly, "But Brother Yixuan, I must bring Guangguang back to the army."
"Okay." Tan Yixuan nodded, "As long as it is what you want to do, I support you."
"But I don't know how to face your mother next?" Sophie sighed helplessly, "What's wrong with her? Has she never been a mother? Don't you know how important a child is to a mother?
"
"My mother was just in too much pain. She definitely didn't mean it." Tan Yixuan knew the facts and couldn't help but speak for his mother, "And it was my words that made her angry and turn on you."
"Let me go and talk to your mother!" Sophie said and handed her son to him, "You can hug him."
"Okay." He held her back, "But not now. My mother is very angry right now, and she won't listen to anything you say to her."
"Um."
Guang Guang was very energetic now, her eyes were wide open, and her hands were waving wildly in Tan Yixuan's arms.
"Guangguang, this is dad, do you remember?" Sophie taught her son beside her, "Dad."
"Pah!" Guangguang really yelled.
"Did you hear that? He called you." Sophie was even more excited than Tan Yixuan.
"Yes, he is such a clever boy, no wonder he is so lovable."
After breakfast, Tan Jinchuan went to work, but Sophie still found a chance to talk to Zhong Xinlan.
"Mom, I want to talk to you."
Zhong Xinlan already had a countermeasure in mind. No matter what Feifei said, she, the evil mother-in-law, had already made up her mind, so her tone was very cold: "Say it!"
"Mom, do you remember when our family first moved here?" Sophie recalled to her emotionally, "At that time, my dad's company was not as big as it is now. He wanted to get rid of the burden my grandfather gave him and start his own business.
My career and overall work are busy. My mother focused on setting up her clothing design company. My brother took care of it when I was a child until we moved here."
Zhong Xinlan's expression softened slightly. Of course she remembered that before Sophie went to middle school, Mr. Tan was the one who took her to and from school.
"Ever since I was little, I have worked hard to be a good kid, because I feel that as long as I am good enough, my parents will like me, and I will become their pride. They can't always accompany me, but I often say it doesn't matter, Dad.
Mom is working! But I still feel very lonely."
"I clearly remember that when I was a child, my dad sent me to a Go class. It was my birthday and it was also the time when we played level 10 in Go. My parents promised me that they would come to watch my game. But after the game, they all
Didn’t show up. My dad was on a business trip abroad, and my mom couldn’t show up because there was a problem with a design draft. Only Grandpa Tan and Brother Yixuan were with me. At that time, I cried in grievance."
How could Zhong Xinlan not be moved when she heard this? She held Sophie's hand and said, "No wonder you and Yixuan have such a good relationship."
"I didn't pass the Level 10 exam, and I felt so sad that I broke away from Grandpa Tan and Brother Yixuan and ran out. That was the day I was kidnapped. My nanny teamed up with outsiders to kidnap me. Mom, you should still remember.
"
Of course Zhong Xinlan knew that when Sophie was kidnapped, the Su family almost collapsed. Su Qingyu and Tong Yan had a big fight and almost divorced.
"I was locked up in a dark room. I was scared to death. I even wondered if my parents would still want me? Will they come to rescue me? I have never been so scared. Even after I was rescued many years later, I was still afraid.
I dare not sleep alone."
"It's all over, Feifei." Zhong Xinlan comforted her.
"Yes, Mom, it's all over. But because of those experiences when I was a child, I clearly understand how much a child's heart actually longs for his parents to accompany him. When he comes back this time, he doesn't want me at all.
I'm really sad. I wonder if I hadn't been with him to take care of him when he was little. Will he blame me when he grows up? Will he be like me and have such an unhappy life?
Where is your childhood?”
Zhong Xinlan was shocked. She really didn't think so much. All she thought about was that she could take better care of Guangguang by having Guangguang by her side. She was indeed a selfish person and did not think about this from the perspective of Feifei and Guangguang.
question.
"Feifei, Mom understands what you mean. Mom apologizes to you for what happened this morning."
Sophie shook her head: "Mom, I am very touched that you love Guangguang so much, really. I promise you that as long as there is a holiday, Brother Yixuan and I will return to Beijing and bring Guangguang back."
"Okay." Zhong Xinlan's original determination was so strong that she would never compromise.
But at this moment, she knew that it would be too cruel if she persisted.
Tan Yixuan did not expect that Sophie's heartfelt words to the security officer would persuade her mother, and the matter would be settled peacefully.
He looked at Sophie with admiration and said with a smile: "Feifei, you still have a way."
Sophie shook her head: "It's not that I have any solution, it's just a matter of comparison."
Tan Yixuan turned his head and looked at Feifei's pretty face, and then at Guangguang in her arms. The little devil's sleeping posture was very strange, and his two little hands always liked to rub his mother's chest. This one is a naughty master!
Tan Yixuan had not contacted the senior high school student the night before. Sophie said that for a senior high school student, it was impossible for him to do anything, but he was probably out of love.
So they settled the matter, and he couldn't help but worry about where the senior year was? He called him again, and finally got through.
"You kid, are you capable? Didn't I tell you to call me? Where did you sleep last night?" As soon as the call came through, Tan Yixuan started to lecture him.
"Captain, I'd better go back to the army first." The senior high school student replied in a low voice, without apologizing or answering questions.
"Where are you now?" Tan Yixuan asked immediately.
"I'm at the train station."
"Don't leave yet, I'll be right over. This is an order, do you hear it?" Tan Yixuan said.
"Um."
After ending the call, Sophie immediately asked with concern: "Did something happen?"
"Feifei, why do you think you are good but not bad?" Tan Yixuan looked at his wife and sighed.
Sophie knew that what she was worried about early in the morning must have happened. Such a thing was so normal.
"I'll go with you!" Sophie felt that Tan Yixuan was still not good at handling this kind of problem, so she still had to go by herself.
Tan Yixuan looked at her, thought for a moment and then said, "Okay."
Sophie left her son with her mother-in-law, and the couple rushed directly to the train station. When they arrived, the senior high school student was in the waiting hall of the train bound for Hebei. There were so many people waiting for the train that he didn't even get a seat, so he carried him on his back.
A big military man stood there in a daze.
"Come with me first. There is no rush to return to the army." Tan Yixuan ordered.
"Captain, I'd better go!" The senior high school student looked depressed. Seeing that Sophie was still there, he was even more embarrassed.
"Senior senior year, didn't you say you wanted to play in the Great Wall and Forbidden City? We've only been here for a day. Don't rush back. Let's go back after we've had enough fun." Sophie also advised from the side.
"It's better not to, sister-in-law." The senior year student was not in the mood to play at all and just wanted to leave this place.
"San'er, this is an order, follow me first." Tan Yixuan immediately showed off his captain's airs and gave the order seriously.
"Let's go." Sophie patted his arm.
The senior year of high school didn't insist and followed them.
No one spoke during the whole journey, so Sophie suggested that they go out to eat first, so they ate outside at a decent Chinese restaurant and ordered a few dishes that all their elders loved.
