Extremely urgent
Bing Jie and Meng Jingxuan obviously had a purpose. They hurried towards Villa No. 1. Qi Jixin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them passing by Villa No. 6 without looking around.
Who would have thought——
"Is this new guy the child's father?" Aunt Wang pointed at Bing Jie in the paused screen and asked Qi Jixin. She nodded, but Aunt Wang immediately frowned and said she was not sure.
"What's wrong?" Qi Jixin's heart was already in a knot, and now it was almost in her throat.
"Chen Jie takes her child to play in the front yard at nine in the morning. I don't know when the child's father leaves. If he sees the child, will he recognize it as your child?"
Qi Jixin's mind was in a turmoil. She wondered what would happen if Bing Jie really recognized the child and took her away forcefully. Would her family be able to live in peace and stability?
No, his parents still won't let them go!
Qi Jixin didn't dare to gamble at all now. She was not at ease when the child was not with her. Bing Jie shouldn't recognize the child at this time, and he couldn't recognize the child.
Xuan Jiazhuo, who had rushed upstairs, also understood what had happened. Frowning, she asked Qi Jixin what he planned to do. Qi Jixin made up his mind and said frankly, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll go downstairs and meet him. He shouldn't be seeing the child right now anyway."
Xuan Jiazhuo opened his mouth and sighed. After thinking about it for a while, he could understand Qi Jixin's current paranoid mentality.
As an outsider, was it really okay for Bing Jie to reveal the truth now? Xuan Jiazhuo couldn't figure it out. After a thousand thoughts, she finally condensed them into one sentence: "Okay, I support you."
But Qi Jixin's presence was a bad idea. Her and Bing Jie's simultaneous presence here would unintentionally sound a deafening alarm for Bing Jie's parents. If they didn't take action, they would be suffering from Alzheimer's...
She took out her cell phone and sat in front of the computer. She dialed Bing Jie's phone number in the address book and it stayed on the dialing screen.
Aunt Wang suddenly suggested that she go look for them now, or call Chen Jie to delay their trip. Qi Jixin and Xuan Jiazhuo nodded and told her to make the call instead of showing up first.
Aunt Wang went downstairs and used the internal landline in the villa area to call Villa No. 6. Xuan Jiazhuo's cell phone also rang at this moment. She frowned and answered the call. She heard her curse under her breath. Qi Jixin looked at her distractedly, not knowing what was going on.
"No, the guard won't let you in?"
"How about this, when I go out to pick you up, ask the guard for some proof? Otherwise, how can I let more than 20 people in?"
Xuan Jiazhuo bit her nails and waited for a reply before she found the time to explain to Qi Jixin that the brothers they contacted today to implement the bottom-line plan should stay in the villa next door as agreed and take action at any time, but more than 20 people were stopped at the door.
"Maybe I need a lease certificate or proof of residence? Then I have to contact Gan Yuanrui." Qi Jixin picked up her phone and looked through her friend list. Xuan Jiazhuo didn't add Gan Yuanrui, so she had to contact him.
Aunt Wang downstairs also called and asked Chen Jie in a casual tone if she wanted to go to the supermarket to buy groceries together today. Aunt Wang thought that as long as Chen Jie could chat with her, the child must be under her nose and would not go out.
But little did she know that when the phone rang, Chen Jie was about to open the door and take the child out. As usual, Chen Jie let the child play on the well-trimmed lawn in front of the door. Anyway, there was a half-person-high fence at the door, so there would be no danger on the grass.
Unable to get any information out of his grandparents' house, Bing Jie took Meng Jingxuan away with a cold face. Objectively speaking, the time he spent at his grandparents' house was not as long as the time it took him to walk from the no-car zone to their door.
"Think positively. Just a few days ago, who would have thought your child was still alive? So don't be so bitter and resentful. Finding the child is only a matter of time, isn't it?"
Meng Jingxuan was thinking about comforting him, so he wanted to put his arm around Bing Jie's shoulder. He knew that Bing Jie hated others putting their arm around his shoulder the most. Once he put his arm around his shoulder, Bing Jie was so busy talking to him that he had no time to worry about his worries.
As he was sighing in his heart that he was a selfless good brother, Bing Jie dodged to the left on the sidewalk, stood by the fence, frowned and told him to stop making trouble.
"Hey, how big is it..." Meng Jingxuan didn't finish his words, and looked at Bing Jie with confusion as he lowered his head. Not knowing what he was looking at, he also looked down.
It turned out to be a little girl who was not even as tall as the railing. She stretched out her little hand and grabbed Bing Jie's pants. Her other little hand pointed to the middle of the road. She shook Bing Jie, raised her head and said, "Dad, that's my toy..."
Meng Jingxuan chuckled and couldn't help but teasing, "Why does this kid call everyone daddy when he sees them?" He was indeed a bit unruly at ordinary times, but when it came to respecting the elderly and loving the young, he was still a decent person. After laughing, he went to the middle of the road to pick up the colorful plush marble.
Bing Jie bent down and patted her hand gently, trying to ask her to let go in a gentle manner. However, the little girl stared at him with her round eyes through the gap in the door frame, which was almost as wide as her face.
He didn't just look at Bing Jie, but took the time to glance at Meng Jingxuan, and then quickly looked at Bing Jie.
Bending down to let Bing Jie get closer to her, he frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed, and asked gently, "Why do you call me dad?"
"You are the father."
"What about me?"
Meng Jingxuan tossed the ball up and down, then nimbly grabbed the ball from the air and handed it to the little guy's other hand. Bing Jie turned his head and glanced at him with some disgust, but Meng Jingxuan didn't care about his look and looked at the little guy expectantly.
"You're... a good person." She obviously pondered for a moment before coming up with a suitable word.
Bing Jie suddenly smiled and reached out to touch her face. Although Meng Jingxuan was speechless, he still gave her the toy based on his principle of not arguing with children. "Child, you can let go now. We are leaving." His tone was not so friendly.
"Let go of my hand, I'll talk to you here for a while, okay?"
Meng Jingxuan could swear to heaven that he had never heard Bing Jie speak in such a gentle tone, or rather, he had never been so gentle except when he was with Qi Jixin.
"Brother, your halo of being a good father has attracted me--" After being glanced at by Bing Jie, Meng Jingxuan immediately shut up, stood up, held the railing and stood aside to keep watch.
The child thought for two seconds and then let go of her hand. When she saw Bing Jie squatting down and talking to the child, Qi Jixin almost crushed her phone. It was too late to go downstairs. She turned around and saw this scene and almost fainted...
If the people at the door had not had a conflict with the security guard, she and Sister Zhuo would not have been so worried. As a result, in the blink of an eye, their house was robbed!
Qi Jixin's hand stopped one centimeter away from the dial button on the screen. She stared at the screen and saw the dawn of hope in the next second.
Chen Jie caught sight of someone outside the gate, and quickly hung up the phone and rushed out. She hugged the child in her arms and apologized to the person outside the door: "Sorry, sorry, the baby is ignorant. Did I disturb you?"
Bing Jie stood up and shook his head slowly, his eyes never leaving the child in her arms.
Chen Jie was very particular about the way she held the child. Unless the child was struggling, he would always have his back to Bing Jie and the others. Unfortunately, the child had to turn around and look at Bing Jie, holding the ball of fluff, which was bigger than her palm, in her arms.
"Baby, apologize to the uncles." Chen Jie never scolded the child. Even in this situation, she only spoke softly. Who would have thought that the little child would frown? She said stubbornly: "It's not uncle, it's dad——"
Chen Jie quickly covered her mouth and explained to the two people at the door with an apologetic smile: "I'm so sorry, the child is still young and just said nonsense. Please don't mind it."
"At least you have to teach the child to recognize his parents, right?" The newly-honored good man said in a cold tone. Bing Jie raised his hand and touched him, and Meng Jingxuan waved his hand and said it was okay.
"Then we won't bother you." Bing Jie nodded slightly, then strode away. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at the child who was obviously struggling even more.
After they walked a hundred steps, Meng Jingxuan was still holding his black-screened phone to take a picture of his face, muttering, "Good man? It's fine if you say I'm handsome, but you actually said I'm a good man! How do I look like a good man?"
Bing Jie couldn't stand it any longer and reached out to snatch his phone away, his tone frighteningly cold: "She's just a child, how many words do you expect her to learn?" After that, he frowned and glanced at him.
Meng Jingxuan blinked, then said hesitantly: "I was saying that the kid frowning just now looked familiar to me. It turns out he's like you..."
"Shh!" Bing Jie's expression immediately became serious. He pulled Meng Jingxuan's arm and hurried away with him. It was not until the car left the city and sped on the highway that Meng Jingxuan asked him in confusion why he didn't let him speak an hour ago.
"Isn't it just that you look a bit like that kid... You don't doubt that she's your daughter, do you? No, we can't just think she's our daughter just because she calls us daddy twice!"
Meng Jingxuan's words couldn't even convince him. As soon as he finished speaking, his left and right brains fought each other and sighed, "But you're right, the way you two frowned is exactly the same! I'm not kidding."
Bing Jie had been deep in thought since getting in the car. He didn't open his eyes until Meng Jingxuan spoke again. After listening to him analyze everything, Bing Jie tilted his head to look at the scenery ahead. His tone was so calm that it was almost cold, and he said, "That was just a coincidence. I was really disturbed by those two words about Dad."
Meng Jingxuan sighed deeply, also lamenting, how could there be such a coincidence?
Yes, Bing Jie replied in his heart.
He was sure that it was his child. He was not sure at first, but when the car drove out of the villa area, he saw a man in the crowd at the door - the man who was photographed with Xuan Jiazhuo by the media at the class reunion.
Sun Liangzhi helped him check and found out that this guy was a famous local tyrant. The moment Bing Jie saw him, he thought that Xuan Jiazhuo was able to abandon Qi Jixin to contact this local tyrant, which proved that this person was of great use to her.
This local tyrant inexplicably brought a group of people into the villa area, and was shouting at the door that he was looking for a classmate. Bing Jie thought that this classmate must be Xuan Jiazhuo. Xuan Jiazhuo was supposed to accompany Qi Jixin on vacation, which meant that Qi Jixin was likely here too.
Who knows, Qi Jixin might have known that the child was here a long time ago.
