A soft "okay" came from the other end of the line, and Ji Fuying hung up the phone.
Ji Lan is a terrifying hidden bomb. Her existence not only threatens the Lu family, but she won't even spare the Ji family.
Therefore, she must find out her location as soon as possible and then strike first.
A white Maserati was parked in front of the Dixin International Kindergarten. After a short while, Teacher Wang led Bu Yi out.
Upon seeing Ji Fuying, Bu Yi immediately rushed over with a beaming smile, "Mommy, I'm so happy today!"
Ji Fuying picked her up and looked at her with a guilty look in her eyes. How could she tell her that she would no longer let her go to school?
Forget it, let's talk about it when we get home.
"Thank you for your help today, Teacher Wang. Bu Yi, say goodbye to your teacher."
"Goodbye, teacher." Bu Yi turned her head and gave a sweet smile.
"Okay, Bu Yi, see you tomorrow." Teacher Wang waved to Bu Yi.
Upon returning to the Lu family home, Bu Yi heard Xia Changhuan's voice from afar and immediately quickened her pace to run inside.
"Is Grandma back?"
“My darling is back! Grandma has been waiting for you for so long.”
Xia Changhuan caught Buyi who rushed towards her at the door, kissing her face repeatedly. Only when she smelled that familiar scent did she feel much more at ease.
"Grandma, I've gone to school. School is so much fun! I've met lots of teachers and friends. I'm not alone anymore."
Xia Changhuan gave a smile that looked more like a grimace, and looked at Ji Fuying with a puzzled expression.
'Didn't you tell her she wasn't going to school?'
Ji Fuying nodded. All the way there, she talked enthusiastically about the fun things she found at school, and Ji Fuying couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Buyi, Grandpa wants to discuss something with you. Is that alright?" Lu Qing noticed their predicament and decided to talk to Buyi about it himself.
“Okay, Grandpa.” Bu Yi jumped down from Xia Changhuan’s arms and took small steps toward Lu Qing, who was sitting on the sofa.
Looking into Buyi's bright and sincere eyes, Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Buyi, something happened at home, so could you please not go to school for the time being?"
Bu Yi tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, is it because our family went bankrupt that Bu Yi can no longer attend the prestigious school? It's okay, Bu Yi won't mind if it's a regular school."
"..." Lu Qing was speechless, not knowing how to respond to her for a moment. How could she know about bankruptcy at such a young age?
"Grandpa, I still have some pocket money, I can take it out. As for Daddy, I'll wait until I grow up to buy him."
After all, family matters are the most important. If her family goes bankrupt, she and her family will end up on the streets as beggars.
"No, listen to Grandpa. Our family has offended a bad person who could hurt Buyi. So for Buyi's safety, we're temporarily keeping her away from school. Once that bad person is caught, Buyi can do whatever she wants."
Lu Qing thought Bu Yi was very smart and could distinguish right from wrong. She was afraid that her family would encounter difficulties, and she was even willing to contribute her own pocket money.
For this reason alone, he decided to tell her the truth so that she could be mentally prepared in advance.
"I understand. It's like how a big dinosaur will hurt a little dinosaur if it can't beat someone, right? Okay, then I won't go to school for now."
Although she was indeed very disappointed and reluctant to part with him, she would listen to her grandfather.
She already knows how to protect herself, so between going to school and safety, she will definitely choose safety.
Ji Fuying never expected her daughter to be so easy to talk to. Her father hadn't even started persuading her before she agreed on her own.
Her guilt towards her grew deeper and deeper. She was determined to find Ji Lan as soon as possible and end this power struggle that had lasted for more than 20 years.
The next morning, Ji Yan made a special trip to Dixin International Kindergarten.
Han Xiao went to the security booth and asked to see Buyi, but after a long time, the security guard said that they did not have this child in their kindergarten.
"How could that be? She studies here." Han Xiao glanced inside curiously. Had he come to the wrong place?
"Mr. Ji, they said Bu Yi is not in this kindergarten."
Ji Yan's previously gentle expression instantly changed. "Why aren't you here?"
At this moment, Teacher Wang came out from inside the door. "Excuse me, are you looking for Lu Jianqing?"
“Lu Jianqing?” Ji Yan murmured. Wasn’t her name Bu Yi?
"Yes, Lu Jianqing's nickname is Buyi, but she didn't come today, and she probably won't be coming for a while."
"Why? I've only been here for a day!" Han Xiao asked, voicing his question.
"I don't know either, that's what my mother said."
"Okay, thank you, teacher. Han Xiao, let's go."
The car drove smoothly on the way back to the company.
Ji Yan couldn't help but send a voice message to the little girl he missed so much, 'Why didn't Bu Yi go to school today?'
He wondered if Yingying knew about his meeting with Buyi, which was why she kept Buyi at home, thus preventing him from seeing Buyi again.
But Bu Yi's childish words only confused him more.
"Uncle, Grandpa said that bad guys are trying to catch me, so for my safety, I can't go to school for the time being."
Ji Yan sat up abruptly in the car, his gaze gradually turning sinister. "You said there are bad guys trying to arrest you. Who are they?"
Grandpa didn't tell me.
"Buyi, don't be afraid. Uncle will investigate this matter and will definitely protect Buyi's safety."
"But if that happens, won't Bu Yi be unable to see her uncle?"
"It's okay, Bu Yi. If you miss me, you can send me a voice message anytime, no matter what time it is. I'll reply right away, okay?"
"Really? Let's pinky swear."
"Yes, Uncle is not lying to you."
After the call was disconnected, Ji Yan lit a cigarette, his eyes filled with anger. He was determined to make that person pay, no matter who they were.
"Han Xiao, you don't need to handle company matters during this period. You just need to focus all your energy on investigating this matter."
"Yes, Mr. Ji."
Lu Family Manor.
Ji Fuying, who was passing by Bu Yi's room, seemed to hear her voice, so she pushed open the door and went in.
"Buyi, are you alone? Who were you talking to just now?"
"Mommy, I'm talking to the little dinosaur." She knew very well that she couldn't let her mommy know that she was chatting with her uncle.
So Mommy, I'm sorry, I didn't lie to you.
Ji Fuying sat down beside her with a pained expression and gently placed her on her lap. "Buyi, I'm sorry, Mommy couldn't give you a stable life."
Her eyes gradually reddened, not just because of safety issues, but also because she couldn't give her the father she wanted most.
Perhaps, we should let her recognize Ji Yan. Shouldn't she be involved in what's between me and Ji Yan?
By what right did she deprive her child of the fatherly love he deserved? And what right did she have to decide for Buyi whether or not he needed a father?
