Chapter 181 Will Mo Chi be laid off again?
Upon hearing Qi Wende's words, Qi Feiyao froze, unsure of what to do with her hands.
Qi Hang and Qi Lin remained relatively calm, but looked at Qi Feiyao with concern.
Chu Rou also missed home. She hummed in agreement and asked, "Dad, when you set the time, do I need to tell Mom in advance?"
Qi Wende gently shook his head, "No need, let me face this kind of thing myself! We'll leave tomorrow."
Chu Rou really didn't know how to talk to her mother, so she decided it was best to let them handle it themselves.
Qi Feiyao suddenly spoke up and asked, "Honey, shall I go with you? I owe her an apology."
Chu Rou looked at Qi Wende. She did not approve of Qi Feiyao going with them. If her mother saw her father, she would definitely lose control of her emotions, and it would be bad if she hit Aunt Qi.
Qi Wende didn't speak immediately; he was also considering the issue. In his meager memories, Shi Jingman was mostly gentle, but she could also be quite fierce when she was angry.
"This time, Rou Rou and I will go to City C first. You can stay at home without worry."
Qi Feiyao's expression turned dejected. She was used to following Qi Wende's arrangements, so she could only nod.
“Aunt Qi, my mother gets agitated and loses control of her emotions. My father and I don’t want you to go because we’re afraid it will hurt you.”
Chu Rou continued to explain, "I can face you calmly because I think these are all matters between your elders. For me, it's a good thing that my father is alive."
"But from my mother's perspective, she might not accept this easily, she..."
Chu Rou didn't want to continue. "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering," she thought. She wouldn't stop her mother from treating her father and Aunt Qi however she pleased.
Upon hearing Chu Rou's words, Qi Feiyao began to wipe away her tears.
Chu Rou stood up and said to Qi Wende, "Dad, send me the flight time after you've booked the tickets. I'm going upstairs now."
After receiving Qi Wende's approval, Chu Rou left.
She sighed inwardly. Crying wouldn't solve anything; she had to bear the consequences of her own choices.
Aunt Qi, who always lives under the protection of others and has no sense of responsibility, what will happen if her protective umbrella disappears one day!
She couldn't say these things to an elder, but she would try her best to change Qi Lin and prevent her from becoming like Aunt Qi.
Downstairs, after seeing Chu Rou leave, Qi Lin turned to look at the crying Qi Feiyao, who was being gently comforted by Qi Wende.
Qi Lin fell into deep thought.
If her mother and Aunt Shi switched lives, what would her mother do? Would she be able to raise her and her brother with strength?
Qi Lin wasn't sure.
What about her older sister? Qi Lin could confidently say that whether or not a man is involved wouldn't change anything for her sister; that's the confidence that comes from having real power.
Qi Lin stood up. With her father's comfort, her mother should be alright. She should hurry up and study.
"Dad, you stay and keep Mom company. I'm going upstairs to read. I won't disturb you."
Qi Lin also went upstairs and left.
Qi Hang suddenly felt that his presence was somewhat out of place, so he stood up as well. "Dad, I'll go arrange your flight for tomorrow."
Only Qi Wende and Qi Feiyao remained in the living room.
Qi Feiyao looked at Qi Wende through tears, "Husband, what should I do to get Rou Rou's mother's forgiveness?"
"I'll go face Manman; you don't have to see her," Qi Wende sighed softly, patting Qi Feiyao's shoulder.
He was unsure of what Manman's attitude would be.
After hearing this, Qi Feiyao cried even harder, "Rou Rou's mother probably won't forgive me."
Qi Wende didn't know how to persuade her. Whether Manman could forgive her was not up to him. No amount of money could solve this kind of problem.
Chu Rou returned to her room and told Mo Chi about her plans to return to City C.
Mo Chi replied ten minutes later, saying that his parents would be there soon and would talk to Chu Rou's mother about their marriage.
Chu Rou thought this was a good decision, and Mo Chi's parents should also go and meet her mother and Uncle Shen.
After hesitating for a long time, Chu Rou sent a message to Shi Jingman, saying that she was going home the next day and would be taking a guest with her. She also mentioned that Mo Chi's parents were going to visit her.
The next day, Chu Rou and Qi Wende boarded the Qi family's private plane and flew to City C.
Qi Wende still wore a mask.
Chu Rou asked in confusion, "Dad, are you going to keep wearing this mask all the time?"
Qi Wende touched the mask. "I'm used to wearing it. People outside only recognize my mask, not my face. It's more convenient to wear it."
"Dad, besides Mom, didn't you think of anyone else?"
Qi Wende shook his head. "No, why? Is there anyone else that Dad should remember?"
Chu Rou pondered for a moment, "Uncle Lu has taken good care of me over the years. He is your comrade-in-arms and is now the police chief."
Qi Wende frowned. He had no recollection of it at all. No matter how deep the feelings he had for someone before, they were just names to him.
Of the three titles—surname Lu, comrade-in-arms, and police chief—Qi Wende was most concerned about the one he held in high regard: police chief. He disliked dealing with the police.
The Qi family had done a lot of illegal things in the past. It was only after he took over that the Qi family turned from the black to the white, but in the process, they also did a lot of things that skirted the edge.
“Besides my family, I don’t want to reveal my previous identity,” Qi Wende said.
Chu Rou respected Qi Wende's choice and said nothing more.
Qi Wende closed his eyes to rest on the plane, his hands clasped together, his two thumbs rubbing against each other incessantly.
Chu Rou glanced at Qi Wende and saw the wrinkles between his brows. She sighed inwardly. It seemed her father was very nervous. Actually, she was nervous too.
Upon arriving in City C, Qi Hang had already arranged for vehicles and bodyguards.
Chu Rou followed Qi Wende into the car.
As she got closer to the Shen family's house, Chu Rou's heart beat faster and faster, and she felt a little short of breath.
The car pulled up to the Shen family's building, and Chu Rou and Qi Wende got out together.
Chu Rou led the way, and when they reached the front door, she turned to look at Qi Wende and asked, "Dad, are you mentally prepared?"
Qi Wende hummed in agreement.
If Chu Rou wasn't mistaken, her father's voice was trembling slightly.
She took out the key, unlocked the door, and went inside.
"Sister, you're back!"
Hearing the sound, Shen Luo looked over and saw that it was Chu Rou. She happily ran over and picked Chu Rou up.
"Xiao Luo!" Chu Rou patted Shen Luo's shoulder with a smile, "Quickly put me down."
Shen Luo put Chu Rou down and then noticed that there was a man behind her. He was wearing a mask, so his age was not known, but he looked quite burly.
He gaped in shock and exclaimed, "Sis, Mo Chi hasn't been laid off again, has he?!"
