Someone invested heavily to assemble a television drama crew, designating actors and a script, determined to use top-tier resources to interpret an extremely simple story.
It was a low-blood-...
ending
In the next few days, the three of them did not go out. The two of them watched Aunt Chen take care of the children at home and talked to each other about their thoughts and feelings over the years. Qi Jixin naturally told Bing Jie everything about when she would recover her memory.
Then, Qi Jixin frankly admitted, "The reason I didn't tell you then was because I was worried that you were still under the control of your parents. I was afraid that the happiness that was so close would be broken again - so, I'm sorry."
She was apologizing for not trusting him, and both of them knew it.
Bing Jie shook his head at her, saying that she was very thoughtful and that she had to be absolutely sure of everything to achieve her current success, and he had no complaints about that. As for his struggle with his parents, Bing Jie also personally told her how he had divided his interests over the years and gradually become independent.
"Actually, when I met Jie Xin that day, I knew she was my child. Later, I sent someone to rent a house. You should know about this, right?" Bing Jie has become more and more energetic recently. As he said this, he raised his eyebrows.
Qi Jixin nodded, but then asked doubtfully, "But there's no one in that house? Our people have been observing for a long time, but they haven't found the person you sent there."
"That's because my people arrived before you, and also before Meng Jingxuan, who went there for the first time. The two houses at the back were just to remind you. Of course, I didn't send anyone over there openly, so I could trick you into letting your guard down."
Qi Jixin almost immediately realized how deliberate the message Bing Jie sent after seeing the child that day was!
Listening to her dissatisfied accusations and how much he scared her, Bing Jie wrinkled his nose at her a little aggrievedly: "I thought my wife was going to take the children and leave me, and you didn't allow me to send you a message?"
"Idiot," Qi Jixin gave him a distressed look and added, "I've been replying to your messages during my vacation. Doesn't that speak volumes? You weren't such a worried person before."
Bing Jie shook his head, hugged the man in his arms, and then said: "In this matter, I can't take it for granted, nor dare to imagine the best case scenario."
It was not until now that the two of them finally talked about all the knots in their hearts. They snuggled together, watching the children playing with toys in the distance, and occasionally turning their heads to look at their children. Qi Jixin suddenly suggested, "I actually want to see two people."
Needless to say, Bing Jie also knew who that was.
After explaining the situation to Chen Jie and Jie Xin, the two of them went together to meet Bing Jie's parents.
The two people still maintain the dignity that comes with dignity, but there is always a sense of weakness inside. The couple Qi Jixin and Bing Jie, on the contrary, have the confidence to be fearless.
"You took the child away, right?" Cen Huayun asked her coldly as soon as he saw Qi Jixin sitting down. Qi Jixin nodded and said, "It's my own child, so of course I have to take it away myself. What's wrong with that?"
Bing Shanhui was so angry that he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words "impossible".
"Nothing is impossible." Bing Jie's attitude was even more resolute, and as he spoke, he glanced at the two disrespectful elders sitting opposite him with suppressed anger. Qi Jixin patted his arm lightly, his expression now extremely gentle and his attitude extremely good.
"It's okay. If they want to know, I'll tell them. I disappeared for a month to get closer to the child. I secretly collected evidence and did a paternity test. The nanny you hired is a good person. She didn't report my approach to you, and she quickly changed sides after I showed you the evidence and helped reunite us mother and daughter."
Qi Jixin's smile slowly faded as she described the situation. Finally, she frowned unhappily, glaring at them almost angrily, and added, "Even strangers with no blood relationship would not bear to see mother and daughter separated, but you, you actually orchestrated the destruction of your own child's family. You are not worthy of being his parents, nor his grandparents."
Bing Jie put his arm around her shoulders and gently pressed them. He then said, "This is why we're here today. The lawyer will be here in half an hour. Your lawyer and my lawyer will both be back. I want to sever ties with you—"
"Impossible! Everything you have is given by me, how dare you break up with me!" Bing Shanhui was completely panicked now, and used a loud voice to cover up his panic.
Bing Jie remained unmoved. After listening to his roar, he said, "Alright, then I'll return everything to you." Seeing that Cen Huayun was about to say something, he added with a prescient look, "As for the life you gave me, I think after you murdered my wife and child, it's even."
Qi Jixin sighed at the side: "Two for one, you really made a fortune."
This time she came not only to make a complete break, but Qi Jixin also had two questions she wanted to ask the most. Seeing that the two people opposite her were speechless and there was nothing else to talk about, Qi Jixin asked the question she was most curious about.
"Why did you give the child the name I said? And why did you leave the child alive?"
The two people opposite each other looked at each other, then nodded at each other in compromise, as if they had made up their minds.
"You probably thought your original explanation convinced us, didn't you? Actually, compared to appeasing Bing Jie, who knew the truth, our plan was simpler. During that period of time, you proved to be a smart person, far smarter than we thought. That's why we kept the child."
Bing Shanhui admitted it frankly, and his eyes were not focused on the two people opposite him. He seemed to be lost in the memories of that year.
Hua Shaoshi was just a substitute for them. The two shrewd people thought that what they did was perfect and that Hua Shaoshi would bear all the blame in the end. Therefore, when Qi Jixin exposed the truth, both of them were shocked.
That was the main reason for keeping the child. Secondly, it was to comfort Bing Jie's deceased wife.
Cen Huayun's eyes softened. After all, she was also a mother, so she could empathize with Qi Jixin's feelings. She said, "When you agreed to leave and even die for the child, I decided to let the child bear your name. That was the last gift you could give her, and I didn't want to deprive her of it."
When Qi Jixin heard the truth, she was still too shocked. She was stunned for a long time. Bing Jie beside her was also stunned for a long time. The four people in the living room were all silent.
Bing Jie was the first to recover. He stood up, picked up Qi Jixin, and was about to leave with her. Before turning around, he said to his parents, "I have authorized my lawyer. I will agree to all your conditions. I will resign if necessary. You can make any requests."
The old couple was completely panicked now. They supported each other to get up, looked at Bing Jie and then at Qi Jixin. Bing Shanhui hesitated but said slowly: "I heard from the nanny that my granddaughter is very smart. Before we break off our relationship, can you bring my granddaughter to see me? At least, let me hug her?" Cen Huayun on the side also looked at them earnestly.
Bing Jie just shook his head, turned around and left with Qi Jixin.
On the way home, Qi Jixin was still joking that she could now completely support him, but Bing Jie said that he had done a lot of business over the years and could still support her and the child without the support of his family.
"What? Are you really hoping that I'll go bankrupt?" He looked at Qi Jixin with a smile. Qi Jixin quickly waved her hands, saying that she said that because she felt she could support her family.
Just then, the lawyer sent a message. Bing Jie drove and asked Qi Jixin to help her look at it. It was an agreement. Naturally, Bing Jie's parents left all the company shares under their name to Bing Jie.
Qi Jixin raised an eyebrow and sighed, "Who would complain that life is getting worse and worse?"
On the day when Bing Jie officially appeared at the parent company and took the chairmanship of the shareholders' meeting, he was mentioned in financial reports and entertainment reports as well. Only then did everyone know who the retired actor was.
Qi Jixin was not idle while recuperating at home. She was still reading the blog posts of the hijacker and liked the post about wedding rings that she had just summarized.
After a while, Xuan Jiazhuo called quickly. She hurriedly asked Qi Jixin if she had forgotten to switch to the secondary account while surfing the Internet?
"Of course I didn't forget. I actually did it on purpose."
