C510 Boss Li Agreed
"Sooner or later," I said.
Qiu Tong's tears could not help but flow out. She put down the cup of water and covered her face with her hands. But my daughter, my Snowy, I can't send her to the orphanage. I can't leave her without a mother. "
Looking at Qiu Tong's grief-stricken expression, my heart was broken once again.
I stood up, took out a tissue and passed it to Qiu Tong. "Qiu Tong, don't worry. Snowy definitely won't be sent to an orphanage. She definitely won't be without a mother."
Qiu Tong looked up at me. "What are you doing?"
I said, "I want to talk to the couple."
Qiu Tong quickly said, "Yi Ke, don't go over. Don't interfere in this matter and don't mess around. "That's my benefactor, Lee Shun's parents, and my elders. You can't act recklessly."
Qiu Tong mistook me for going over to teach the old couple a lesson.
I said, "You're wrong. I'm not trying to mess around. How can I do anything to them? It's obviously impossible. No matter what, we still have to respect our elders. "
"Then you are …" Qiu Tong looked at me quizzically.
I said, "I'll do their work, be sentimental, be reasonable, and convince them."
Qiu Tong shook her head. "You won't be able to convince them. It looks like they've already made up their minds. There's nothing we can do about it."
"How do you know without trying? I'll give it a try. Do you doubt my eloquence? "
Qiu Tong looked at me but said nothing.
I left the office and went straight to Qiu Tong's office. Just as I reached the door, I heard Lee growling in a low voice from inside.
I slowed down and stopped.
Lee's voice said, "Old woman, what are you trying to do? Wasn't Tong just adopting a child? Is there a need to make it so hard for the child? Look, Tong has been scared out of her wits by your madness. Do you think that the matter is not big enough? Must we force the child into a dead end? "
"Tell me, am I crazy or is she crazy? Did I go crazy first or did she go crazy first? She was our family's fiancée, yet she adopted a wild child behind our backs. Was her actions crazy? She's throwing our Lee family's face, don't you know? Wasn't I doing this to protect your family's reputation and honor? Is it for myself? " Mrs Lee's voice did not waver.
"What wild child? Which child was not born from a parent, and which child had no parents, what nonsense are you spouting? " Lee's voice was a bit angry: "Back then, when we supported the children in the orphanage and Tong, didn't you also support us? "How can you treat Tong like this when this has happened to her?"
"A wild child without any parents is a wild child, is there even a need to say that? Who knows where this Xiao Xue came from, and what kind of life did she live? " Mrs Lee said, "I was thinking about that time. Back then, I promised you that I would help out the children in the orphanage, and that was for my son. If the master in the temple hadn't said that I needed to do a good deed for my son and let him grow up, I wouldn't have been interested in following your advice and doing good deeds. Now that my son has grown up and is safe and healthy, my wish has been fulfilled, so I don't care about this anymore.
Besides, this little Qiu Tong has yet to pass the door but she dares to take the initiative to adopt a child on her own and has been hiding it from me. If this goes on, won't you look down on me even more after we pass the door? "This time, if I don't subdue her and show her my might, my years of leadership will have been in vain. My age will have lived for nothing."
"You are simply unreasonable. What kind of logic is this?" Lee said.
"I don't understand, what logic do I have? Lee, calm down. I'm thinking for your family, Lee, and for our son's sake. A daughter-in-law who hasn't been married yet brought a 6 year old wild child. Where are you putting our family's face? How do you expect our son to stand up to everybody's poke and poke? Do you want your son to have a green hat on his back? My attitude towards Qiu Tong is pretty good today. If Asun was here, if Asun knew what Qiu Tong had done, he would have turned the tables. Maybe there will be more deaths. "
"How do you know Asun doesn't know?" Lee said, "Maybe Qiu Tong agreed to adopt the child."
"Nonsense, how could Asun agree to be a mother before his fiancee gets married? He definitely doesn't know that he has a six year old child, otherwise, he definitely wouldn't agree!" Mrs Lee said affirmatively.
I slowly pushed the door open and entered. The Lee couple didn't say anything as they saw me enter.
I walked in front of Lee and his wife. Looking at them, I tried to keep my voice calm as much as possible. "Auntie, what uncle said just now was right. Boss Lee knows about Boss Qiu's adoption of Xiao Xue.
The Lee couple looked at me with surprise. Mrs Lee said, "Boss Lee. Who do you call Boss Lee? "
"Lee Shun." I said: "Although I work here in Boss Qiu, but I also have some contacts and contact with Lee Shun, habitually, I call him Boss Lee. That time at the Qingdao, it was me and Boss Qiu who met Xiao Xue and her grandfather. Xiao Xue was rescued by us, and her grandfather had unfortunately passed away. Xiao Xue was an abandoned baby that was picked up by that old grandpa in the trash can. Boss Qiu adopted Snowy with a heart full of love. After Boss Lee found out, he expressed his active support. He really likes Snowy. "
Mrs Lee looked at me with incredulous eyes. "Yi, you are lying. This — this is absolutely impossible. My son would never do such a thing. He couldn't possibly like a wild child. I know my son the best. He definitely won't agree with Qiu Tong adopting this Xiao Xue, and he definitely won't like her. "
I said, "Auntie, maybe you think this way, maybe you think that you understand your son the best, no matter how you take it for granted, but the fact is, Boss Lee really likes Snowy the most."2
"Unbelievable, I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it!" Mrs Lee said resolutely.
"Believe it or not, it's just what I saw. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Boss Lee would like this child so much." "No," I said.
Lee's eyes lit up, and he looked at Mrs Lee. "You were so angry just now, didn't you think that you would need to ask for your son's opinion on this matter?" If it's really as Yi said, when my son comes back, I'll still have a falling out with you. Six years ago, he had a falling out with us and almost broke off our relationship.
"Shut up, where am I old? "No matter how old I am, I'm not as old as you?" Mrs Lee glared at him and pondered for a while. "Alright, then let's contact our son right now. I want to ask him myself."
"Hello? Here's a call for you!" Lee fished out the phone and handed it to Mrs Lee.
Mrs Lee took the phone, looked at me, and said to herself, "I don't want outsiders to get involved with our family matters."
I understand Mrs Lee's meaning. Firstly, it's true that she doesn't want me to know more about her family matters, and secondly, she doesn't want me to know about the deep relationship between Lee Shun and myself. She doesn't want me to know where Lee Shun is right now, or rather, it's her instinct to protect her own son's safety.
I went out and returned to my office.
Qiu Tong was sitting on the sofa in a daze. When she saw me come in, she looked at me anxiously. "How is it?"
I smiled at Qiu Tong. "I've given them my reasoning for the past half day, which has somewhat moved them. They are currently in an internal meeting to discuss this."
"Really? You moved them? " Qiu Tong looked at me in surprise. "What did you tell them? Can they be moved by you?"
"There is great love everywhere in the world, and true love everywhere in the world." I said, "Don't ask me what I said. People are made of meat anyway, and they aren't stone-hearted people. Of course, I was disgusted by the way they began today. I hated the self-righteous society people most of all, and they were just pretending to be a fake mask. For example, the mother of the female owner of the Titanic was a fallen noble, yet she refused to put down her noble airs and stuck her snout in the air.
Qiu Tong let out a long sigh, looked down at the ground, and whispered, "Yi Ke, don't talk about them like that, I am very grateful that you helped me do their work today, but, I don't like what you said just now, I cannot accept your evaluation of my benefactor. They are my benefactors for life, and I will never be able to repay their kindness.
They are kind-hearted people, and in my eyes, they are elders that I should always respect. This has nothing to do with their position, and it has nothing to do with the past or the present. Actually, I was also at fault. At the very least, I shouldn't have adopted Snowy without telling them. After all, doing so would have made them feel passive and embarrassed. They're not wrong, it's all my fault. "
"Okay, sorry, I apologize for what I said. I shouldn't have said that to them." I said, "But it doesn't matter what they did. At least, you didn't do anything wrong. You didn't do anything wrong."
"You don't have to comfort me. I know I was wrong. I really feel guilty for making them so angry and angry. " Qiu Tong's head hung low.
Listening to Qiu Tong's words, I was speechless for a moment, I didn't know what to feel.
We were both silent.
At this moment, my phone received a text message. I opened it and read, "I know about today's matter, I just spoke to the old lady, and only you and I know about it. The old lady does not want Qiu Tong to know about my past, and neither do I. I'm fine here with the pirates, but I miss you. And just like that, I'll hold your hand tightly! "
Although the text message wasn't signed, of course I knew that it was from Lee Shun.
The message meant that the Lee couple had spoken to Lee Shun, and Lee Shun had told the Lee couple of Snowy's true identity. Perhaps Mrs Lee was afraid that Qiu Tong would change her mood because of Lee Shun's previous insanity or her attitude towards Snowy, so she asked that Snowy's identity not be told to Qiu Tong, at least not for the time being.
Why Lee Shun didn't want Qiu Tong to know either, I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Maybe he was thinking the same thing as his mother.
At first, I thought Lee and Lee Shun would tell Qiu Tong about Xiao Xue's real life after they made the phone call. But now, it seems impossible. Not only that, Lee Shun also hinted that I couldn't tell Qiu Tong.
If that was the case, then Qiu Tong would be kept in the dark.
Actually, I know that with Qiu Tong's character, even if she knew Xiao Xue's background, she would definitely not have any changes in attitude towards her. She would still love Xiao Xue as always, but Mrs Lee might not think this way.
