Self-reliance

Before leaving, Ji Qin said to the family: "You didn't report the crime at the time, so you can't prove that you picked it up. Moreover, you have a child who doesn't meet the condition that the adopter must have no children at all. Difficult, what do you plan to do for Xinxin in the future? Send her to an orphanage? Or become a black householder, never going to school or getting married?"

"We have also asked about this..." The wife buried her head deeply, "If we can find a witness to make a record, prove that it was picked up, and pay the fines of the two children, we may be able to settle down... We are doing Yes, because Pingping will go to school next year."

Ji Qin snorted.Pingping, what's this name?Be mediocre all your life?Ji Qin called him "Xin Xin", and there were six "gold" characters at once.

Ji Qin suppressed his anger: "That was when I was not around. Now he must go back with me. And, if you find an abandoned baby, you must report to the police! As long as I pursue it, you will not have any results. You may need to be educated. Maybe fined, maybe jailed. Think about your other child, is he going to be affected too?"

The other party was silent again.

They were determined not to return it, which made Ji Qin anxious.

……

Ji Qin passed away in the next few days, and his adoptive father and mother knew that what Ji Qin said was true, and they were in tears all day long.Xin Xin also didn't want to be separated from her adoptive parents. She kissed and hugged her every day, which was an eyesore, but she was very afraid of Ji Qin's biological father. She didn't dare to say a word in front of him, which made Ji Qin very anxious.

Originally a matter without any suspense, it has been dragged on for many days without any progress.

After the initial shock and conditioned refusal, the adoptive parents calmed down a little bit and knew that they had to pay back. The biological parents came to the door. They had no reason to leave other people's children here, so they changed their minds. Ask Ji Qin if he can go over regularly to check on Pingping.Then, when he becomes an adult, he will decide whether he only recognizes Ji Qin as his father, or whether the other side often walks around too.

Ji Qin refused.

He said: "I don't want Xinxin to deal with such complicated things. Now he is still very young, I just hope that as time goes by, he can completely or try to forget everything that happened when he was a child, of course, including you."

"..."

"I will not share my son with others, and I will not let Xinxin get out of this matter." Ji Qin said, "The only thing I can discuss and trade with you is money."

Ji Qin knew that the other party would think this answer was cruel, but he had no other choice.

……

——In the end, after a tug-of-war, the other party finally stopped insisting, probably because after asking some people, he knew in his heart that it was difficult to fight, and procrastination was not the solution, only to admit that there was no solution.

At that time, Ji Qin said, "I want to take Xinxin away."

For the first time, the adoptive father and adoptive mother did not speak, the wife kept crying, and the husband sat next to her with a numb expression.

Ji Qin asked, "Do you want money?"

They shook their heads: "That's like selling Pingping. We let Pingping go back with you because we think this is the only way, and it might be the best for him."

Ji Qin snorted again.

The adoptive father and adoptive mother just told Xinxin to let him play with Ji Qin for a few days.Xinxin may need a transition.Ji Qin intends to take him home for a few days first, and maybe he will come back here again for a while, and then, as the time in Ji Qin's house gets longer and longer, Xin Xin gets used to it, and at that time, tell Xin Xin Xin, I will always live with my biological father in the future, so maybe he can accept it a little bit.

Then Ji Qin took him home.

Originally, this time it was supposed to let Ji Qin spend a few days with him, let each other get to know each other, and make Xinxin like Ji Qin, but things seemed far from smooth.

Xinxin kept arguing to go back.

"Why?" Ji Qin frowned.

Xinxin said, "I just want to go home."

"This is your home!"

Xinxin said again: "I'm going to find my parents..."

Veins popped up on Ji Qin's forehead: "You're my only dad!"

Xinxin didn't understand at all.

Ji Qin was frustrated: "Don't think about those two people anymore!"

In fact, Ji Qin wanted to be gentle, but what he said was still an order.

It's been like this for almost two days.

If Ji Qin tried to speak nicely, Xin Xin would say that he wanted to "go home", if Ji Qin became a little bit more aggressive, Xin Xin would hold back his tears, shrink back and look at Ji Qin with fearful eyes .

Ji Qin didn't know what to do.

Xinxin will definitely be in pain.He doesn't understand why Ji Qin took him away from his "parents", just like he didn't understand why he left Ji Qin back then.It's not easy to have feelings, but I have to accept another completely different life.

But how long will Xinxin's pain last?

Can their father and son really go back to the past?

Can Xinxin really grow up like other children in the future?

Ji Qin knew that Xinxin secretly contacted his adoptive parents last night, and went out to look for a phone number in the middle of the night. How could Ji Qin miss this kind of child's "trick".But Ji Qin didn't take care of it for the time being, Xinxin needs a transition, if he is too tough and breaks everything immediately, Xinxin will be psychologically traumatized, he doesn't want Xinxin to know too many cruel things at such a young age, this is also The reason why Ji Qin didn't choose legal means immediately was that he didn't want to show his crime and hatred in front of his five-year-old son so nakedly and bloodily.In this matter, it seemed that it was difficult to have both my own feelings and Xinxin's feelings.If legal methods are used...the child will not understand so many things, he will only think that a person who suddenly appeared and claimed to be his father has ruined his originally happy "family" life, and it will be difficult for the child to open his heart and accept himself.Maybe one day Ji Qin will re-examine what happened back then, but not now, because it is not the most important thing at the moment.

On the second night, he received a call from Zhou Zui.

"What's wrong?" Ji Qin asked.

Before I went to find Xinxin, Ji Qin kept shutting down his phone, he didn’t want people to disturb him, no matter it was a company matter or a personal matter, Ji Qin knew that Zhou Zui had tried to contact him many times, but Ji Qin didn’t have the energy to deal with him .

"Are you back?" Zhou Zui asked back.

"Ah."

"Xinxin took it back?"

"How did you know"

"I went to ask Ji Meng." Zhou Zui said, "Ji Meng didn't say anything before, and he was relieved when you came back."

"..."

"At first you ignored me, I was really sad..." Zhou Zui said, "But now I understand that you have something important to do."

"..."

"It doesn't mean you don't have me in your heart."

Ji Qin frowned: "What are you?"

"How is Xinxin?" Zhou Zui didn't bother anymore.

Ji Qin was silent for a while, and then said again: "...he is not well."

"Ok?"

"He... doesn't like me very much."

"..."

Ji Qin didn't understand how this happened, Xinxin was his son, his heart, his flesh and blood, why did he refuse to get close to him now.

Zhou Zui sighed: "Don't be too anxious, take your time."

"I know."

"Xinxin is always your child, no matter how long we have been apart, this will never change."

"I know."

"But..." Zhou Zui hesitated to speak, "Although I didn't see it, but...according to your habits, he might be afraid of you..."

"..."

"Is this really the result?"

"He is not having a good time now, and he is always clamoring to go back to his adoptive parents."

"Hmm..." Zhou Zui thought for a while, "Find something he will like, let's distract him?"

Ji Qin paused: "If you have any suggestions, just speak up and listen."

Ji Qin didn't know why he asked Zhou Zui.

Zhou Zui is just an outsider, maybe because Zhou Zui has solved a lot of things for him recently, deep in his heart he still thinks that this person may have a solution, no matter what, it is not a bad thing for someone to help share it, if he really has a good idea, it is fine try.

"I'm not sure it will work either..." Zhou Zui sounded a little confused, "But you can try to make him happy."

"..."

"May I go and see him?"

"You..." Ji Qin hesitated, and looked back at Xinxin who was still in a daze, "Don't scare him."

"Ah."

"If he hates you, get out immediately."

"it is good."

——It took two hours for Zhou Zui to arrive.

Ji Qin opened the door and saw Zhou Zui holding a black and white cow cat in his hand.

Ji Qin frowned: "What is this?"

"A cat, it's called Ji Qiuqiu."

"...Qiuqiu?"

"Yeah." Zhou Zui said, "My surname is Ji, and my name is Qiuqiu."

"...and a last name?"

"Yeah." Zhou Zui smiled and said, "It's the same surname as yours."

"..."

"...?"

"Where did it come from?" Ji Qin asked again.

"Your brother's, I borrowed it."

"Humph."

Zhou Zui walked in with the cat in his arms.

Xinxin is in the living room on the first floor.

Zhou Zui showed one of his best smiles, "Xinxin? I'm Zhou Zui, your father's friend."

Ji Qiuqiu swayed in Zhou Zui's arms, and Xinxin looked at the cat with wide eyes.

"Do you want to touch it?" Zhou Zui asked again.

"..."

"It's very well behaved."

Ji Qiuqiu rubbed Zhou Zui's arm again.

Finally, Xinxin stretched out her hand timidly and touched the cat's back.

Zhou Zui put the cat in Xinxin's arms.

Xinxin hugged Qiuqiu carefully.He has never raised small animals, and none of his relatives have cats or dogs, but Xinxin has always liked them. In the past, he asked his adoptive parents if they could raise them. The two are tired enough and don't have the energy to take care of the small animals anymore.Xinxin is disappointed every time.Once, a domestic cat that couldn't find its own home followed Xinxin all the way back, but was thrown out of the house by its adoptive parents.

Seeing Xinxin calm down for a rare moment, Ji Qin turned to look at Zhou Zui, and expressed his gratitude in a very rare way: "...I'm sorry it's so late."

"Huh?" Zhou Zui seemed surprised that Ji Qin would say this.

"...I always want you to be busy with my business."

"You're welcome." Zhou Zui smiled, "To make you happy, this matter has been engraved in my genes since before I was a fertilized egg, and every cell in my body takes it for granted."

"..." Ji Qin knew that Zhou Zui was talking nonsense to make him relax.

"I'll be visiting him often recently."

"……Um."

"……What’s wrong with you?"

Ji Qin paused for a moment: "In the future, if you need my help, just ask."

"Oh..." Zhou Zui drew a long tone, blinking his eyes, "There really are..."

"Huh?" Ji Qin asked casually, "What can't you handle?"

"Yeah." Zhou Zui said, "It's quite troublesome."

"what happened?"

"Recently, my cousin insisted on introducing me to her 'friend', the daughter of a high-ranking official. She would push me out if she didn't have a real brother."

"...It's normal. Didn't you just come back?" Zhou Zui, the cousin, Ji Qin had also heard of, also worked in the Zhou family and managed a lot of properties. She was a strong woman, and she was the kind who The end-means-means type.

"Yeah." Zhou Zui said again, "All in all, it's quite disturbing."

"Which woman is so unlucky to marry you?"

"Hey." Zhou Zui said, "I'm really worried."

"Your cousin can still control you?"

"It's true that she can't control me... But, she made this matter... She thinks it will be done, and she brags to her 'friend', but I'm not interested. That partner is quite arrogant, good-looking and born. Well, if you don't go to see her at all, or if you don't follow up after seeing her, making her feel that I don't like her, it may be inconvenient in the future."

"Humph."

"There must be a valid reason for refusal."

"Then how can I help you?"

"Oh..." Zhou Zui said, "Last time the Ning family wanted to marry Ji Meng. I think that reason is quite good, so I used it directly."

"……Um?"

"I also told her that I have made a decision for my life."

"..."

"...?"

Zhou Zui said, "She still doesn't give up and asks who that person is..."

"..."

"I didn't expect her to be so persistent... as if she insisted on climbing this high branch."

"..."

"You also know that my sister is very powerful..." Zhou Zui said, "If she wants to separate the two of us, ordinary people will definitely not be able to handle it, I"

"so?"

Zhou Zui said quickly: "So I plan to say that person is you."

"..."

"I've thought about it and thought about it, and you're the only one who won't be afraid of her..."

"..."

"So, next time you see her, pretend to be my other half."

"...Do you want to piss your sister off?"
