Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Without giving Song Ci a chance to answer, Li Ying said forcefully: "I don't want to hear your explanation. Where's Li Dong? Ask Li Dong to answer the phone!"

Song Ci raised his eyebrows and said, "There's nothing much to say about this matter. If you want to say something, just tell me."

Li Ying was even more assertive, "If you don't give the phone to Li Dong now, believe it or not, I will fly over right away?"

"You don't want me to go to the Li family's door for this matter, right?"

Song Ci scolded, "How dare you?"

Li Ying asked back, "Do I dare? What do you think?"

As both parties fell silent at the same time, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point!

Just then, Li Dong hung up Gao He's call and walked back from the balcony.

Noticing that Song Ci looked unhappy, Li Dong took the initiative to ask with concern, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Song Ci held down the phone and said worriedly, "My mother called and found out that we adopted Tongtong. She's not very happy."

Li Dong didn't say much, he just reached out, "Give me the phone, I'll explain it."

Song Ci shook his head. "You don't know my mother. She is very strong-willed and arbitrary. She never considers other people's feelings when she speaks or does things."

"Let me handle it, and don't worry about it for now."

Li Dong smiled bitterly, "It was my decision to adopt Tongtong, and I should have said hello to Auntie."

"I made a mistake not to report it in advance."

"Now that Auntie has come to me for an explanation, it's only natural. You can't let me hide, right?"

"Besides, you can't avoid the fifteenth day even if you can avoid it. I can't live without seeing my aunt forever, right?"

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

Song Ci said, "Li Dong, remember, adopting Tongtong is not just your personal decision, it's our joint decision!"

After saying that, Song Ci handed the phone over and turned on the speakerphone.

Li Dong said respectfully: "Mom, it's me."

Li Ying's aggressiveness hit him, "Don't call me mom, when did I ever recognize you as my son-in-law?"

"Li Dong, I had a good impression of you last time, so I'll let you go for now."

"I didn't expect you to turn around and cause a scene in Heaven!"

"I know my daughter. Without your support and consent, Song Ci would not have done such a thing."

"You dare to adopt a child for no reason without saying hello or asking for permission?"

"It's just nonsense!"

Li Dong explained, "Mom, my senior sister and I are not fooling around. We have discussed this matter a long time ago and have thought it through carefully."

"And my parents have already expressed their opinions. They are very supportive of me doing this."

Li Ying seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Your parents support it? Have you asked for my opinion? Have you asked for Xiao Ci's father's opinion?"

Li Dong apologized, "Mom, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to inform you and Dad about this."

"It's just that I've been very busy lately and haven't found the time yet."

Li Ying asked back, "Say hello?"

"For something as big as adopting a child, you just say hello to me and don't need my consent. Is that what you mean?"

Li Dong tried to explain, "Mom, that's not what I meant."

Li Ying nodded, "Okay, since that's not what you mean, I can give you the answer now."

"You told Xiao Ci that you wanted to have this child, but I disagreed and there was no room for discussion!"

"If you dare to insist on doing this, I will take Nian Nian back to the provincial capital!"

Li Dong explained: "Mom, although this child is adopted by my sister and I, he will be fostered in my parents' home in the future, and will not have any impact on Nian Nian."

"And my senior sister and I also asked Nian Nian, and she was very supportive..."

Before Li Dong could finish his words, Li Ying asked, "Yes, the child is being fostered at Li Dong's parents' home."

"But what about Nian Nian? Nian Nian is also living in your parents' home now!"

"Could it be that you still want that child to grow up and live with Nian Nian?"

Li Dong didn't react for a moment, "Mom, is there any problem with this?"

"Having a playmate since childhood is also a good thing for Nian Nian."

Li Ying seemed to have heard a huge joke, "What's the problem? Good news?"

"Li Dong, are you sure?"

"If you just adopt a child from an ordinary family, that would be fine."

"But that child is the daughter of a murderer, and her mother is also a slut who sleeps with anyone!"

"Now you let a child of this background live with my granddaughter."

"And asked me if I had any questions?"

"Does that seem all right to you?"

Hearing this, Li Dong's face instantly turned cold.

Song Ci looked unhappy and tried to take the phone, but was stopped by Li Dong.

Li Dong took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mom, I can't say too much about the case."

"I don't know who Tongtong's father is, but I can guarantee that Tongtong's mother is definitely not the kind of person you imagine."

"She just went astray temporarily, but she is not a bad person by nature and is ready to turn over a new leaf."

"But no matter who Tongtong's parents are, their mistakes have nothing to do with the child and can never be blamed on Tongtong."

"To put it another way, even if Tongtong's parents are completely wrong, it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with Tongtong's character."

"In my eyes, Tongtong is just a child from an ordinary family, no different from my daughter, Li Dong."

"It's really too much for you to slander a child with such words!"

This was also the first time that Li Dong spoke to Li Ying so seriously.

Before, he always treated the other party as Song Ci's mother, and spoke to her with respect.

But Li Ying's criticism of the child just now made Li Dong angry.

No matter how wrong it is, it has nothing to do with the child.

It would be fine if others didn’t understand this truth, but Li Ying is an adult, doesn’t she understand this truth?

Where does she get such a sense of superiority that allows her to trample on a child's life and personality at will?

Li Ying asked back in a cold voice, "Li Dong, are you preaching to me? Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Who are you to preach to me?"

"A policeman, or a son-in-law?"

"What a joke!"

"Don't even mention you, a lowly police officer. Even the leaders of your provincial department wouldn't dare to behave like that in front of me!"

"As for the identity of the son-in-law?"

"Li Dong, don't forget that your current status was fought for by Song Ci. I didn't approve of you."

"If you don't make any mistakes, I can turn a blind eye to you."

"Provoking me on this issue? Lecture me?"

"Do you really think that with Xiao Ci's protection, I can't do anything to you?"

This is the first tough confrontation between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law since their last meeting!
